Delete Unsure why this merits inclusion. Efforts of spare time / student "free software" programmers aren't usually significant. Wikipedia is not intended to be infinite. Deiz 00:33, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unencyclopedic article about a realitively non-notable porn star. Dustimagic *\o/* (talk/contribs) *\o/* 01:00, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right about the review being from the Times website/AMG rather than the Times itself; I didn't catch that. But the actress has an extensive IMDB entry and a featured role in a film shown at the notable Vancouver International Film Festival. Why isn't that enough?

Nonnotable Sega Genesis emulator. No incoming wikilinks. No media coverage. Homepages of authors has no alexa data. Neglected submission since October.-- Perfecto 01:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mushroom 11:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the reasons above, as well as the fact that the Dreamcast port is the most advanced Sega Genesis emulator for that system, and definately makes the emulator notable. Also, the Dreamcast version of Genesis Plus has been covered in several gaming magazines, such as Retrogamer.
MetaFox 11:39, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep because there's a new version coming (WIP since 2003!), featuring the most outstanding GUI for any emulator ever and an incredible amount of features and options. Also I was about to contribute some info as soon I'll have a free minute =P Last but not least, this emu uses a unique way to draw the graphics. The software rendering has been completly rewritten for the Dreamcast's PowerVR2 hardware. You can see the result in the 2004 demo release called 'GenesisPlusDC PVR Preview Version 3'.

DarkMateria

Non-notable musician who fails WP:MUSIC. One of his songs became a short-lived Internet fad, which resulted in a no consensus keep six months ago. Article has not been expanded or touched since, and there is apparently nothing verifiably encyclopedic to say about him. He gets all of 973 Google hits - I expect a notable Internet phenomenon to display far more interest. FCYTravis 01:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew McQuillan and Group Flight

Despite claims to notability, I have to wonder. Just searching for "Andrew McQuillan" doesn't turn this guy up in the first page of Google hits (of which there are only 600+ for all of the people in the world with that name). If you do a search for "Andrew McQuillan" "World Flight", you get three hits. The first is for http://flightsims.co.uk/news/news.php?id=274, which appears to be a simulation game? User:Zoe|(talk) 01:25, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK delete mine but dont delete Group Flight. I think it is unfair to delete details of an organisation raising money for charity. We raise vital funds for UK and European Childrens Charities. Andrew McQuillan
  • Delete but being a nice about it as possible. Not deleting because I cannot imagine who would sit in an airbus for three days willingly, rather than just handing over the cash, but because it's not notable. As always, willing to change my mind if new evidence appears. - brenneman(t)(c) 02:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Buffyverse articles

List is redundant classification of Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer/Category:Buffyverse, page title is self-referential. Dave 01:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

'Buffyverse' is very different to 'Buffy the Vampire Slayer'.Only place offering comprehensive but unified coverage of links to both Buffy and Angel articles, and all other Buffyverse related articles on one page. 'Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer' by its very definition explicitly separates it from Angel articles, from Fray articles, as well as from other stories revolving arond slayers and vampires from the same fictional universe. The link 'Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer' is incapable and inadequate just from its very title of such scope, if the categories do begin to take the whole Buffyverse as one, there is a case for deleting List of Buffyverse articles. If it is deleted before then, then a perfectly useful navigation tool for people who are fans of the whole Buffyverse is going to bite the dust. -- Paxomen 01:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Categorize. Something like this is more applicable to a "Buffyverse" category, and that makes it easy to keep updated since every time someone creates a related article they just add the category. And the BTVS category can become a subcategory if people prefer.. 23skidoo 01:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    The Category:Buffyverse already exists, and Category:Buffy the Vampire Slayer is already a subcategory. Dave 01:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    The Category:Buffyverse is more than inadequate it only contains half a dozen direct links! why not delete this article only when 'Category:Buffyverse' is up to the task of navigating the whole buffyverse quickly. At the moment there is no substitute for what this article is capable of. -- Paxomen 02:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    In fact when Category:Buffyverse has improved enough to incorporate all the main articles viewable from its first page, I would happily delete the article myself even though i created this, but until then why delete useful content? -- Paxomen 02:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • All the articles I looked at in the list are either included in the Buffyverse category, or in one of its sub-categories (Buffyverse stubs, Angel (series), Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Buffy the Vampire Slayer characters), or in one of their subcategores (which I will not list here). Several articles only required the addition of a "[[Category:Buffyverse]]" (or whichever subcategory is more relevant) tag to the end of the article (In fact I did a few of these myself and tripled the Buffyverse category's contents). Once these have been categorised, we are left with a long list of links, and Wikipedia is not meant to contain long lists of external links. So those interested in the Buffy fictional universe, go forth and categorise! -- Saberwyn - The Zoids Expansion Project 02:52, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The appeal of categories is that unlike lists, they update themselves automatically, and that one can use them to quickly find related articles. However, categories are not a substitute for lists, and you will find that many articles belong to both lists and categories. = Quote from Wikipedia:Categorization#How to create categories -- Paxomen 18:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bicycle mechanic

Dictionary definition Tom Harrison Talk 01:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As Mary Poppins would say the Keep the Super-Califragilistic aspi aligotios extra strong, Keep!!! : And I think the nominator should be forced to add 10 hours of volunteer work to improve the article because of the bad nomination. He can start by adding [[category:bicycles]]. --CyclePat 03:34, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the article didn't deserve the nomination, but so what? I believe it was made in good faith, and the AfD process doesn't delete articles that should be kept (not that it's infallible). I hope your comment about "the nominator should be forced to add 10 hours of volunteer work ..." is a joke, else I could find that quite offensive. --Qirex 03:52, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mary poppins wonce said "In every job that must be done, there is an element of fun. You find the fun and - SNAP - the job's a game" and further more, as within Mary Popins Movie... I decided I'll do it myself. The dialogue with my fictional meandering character in my mind went something like this:
  • CyclePat: I'll do it myself.
  • Mary Poppins: Do what?
  • CyclePat: Wiki... and a bit of magic. It's easy. You think. You wink. You do a double blink. You close your eyes... And jump.
  • [Nothing happens]
  • Jane: Is something supposed to happen? [[4]].

But to answer your question. No. sorry if that offends you but I actually believe that there are many editors out there that don't know WP:DP. And yes, now that I think about it that may be bad faith. But not putting an expand stub as per WP:DP could also be considere the same. But well... Superca - Super - or whatever the infernal thing is. Of course, you can say it backwards, which is dociousaliexpilisticfragicalirupus, but that's going a bit too far, don't you think? --CyclePat 05:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To clarify, the reason I dislike that particular comment ("offensive" was an exaggeration I guess) is that if people are afraid of doing anything but minor edits then we won't be getting anywhere. I'm not sure how quite to explain it but it gives off a vibe something to the opposite of the "be bold" mantra. I feel that this kind of attitude is intimidating.
I agree that many editors aren't familiar with WP:DP; when I was talking about "good faith" I meant that the nominator had good intentions of trying to help the project. By your comments I thought your opinion was that the nomination was made with bad intentions; I'm sorry, I now understand you were just saying that the nominator didn't know the guidelines, which is a fair thing to say.
I don't understand these Marry Poppins references (never seen it), in case you wonder why I don't reply to something you're saying with them. I think this is becoming a bit of a tangent to the actual afd... I hope you don't think it rude, but I suggest taking this to user space if you'd like to talk about this some more? Feel free to drop by my talk page. I mean this sincerely. --Qirex 13:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: If the consensus is not to delete the article, I'm fine with that. Certainly it's greatly expanded since I nominated it, and everyone who has since contributed to it deserves credit. I appreciate CyclePat's contrubution and his enthusiasm for the subject. I am not at all offended by his comment, which I take in the friendly spirit I'm sure he indended. Tom Harrison Talk 14:13, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment IMHO it was a reasonable nomination. Nominations are an invitation to discussion. That's why we have discussions and a five-day review period. There's nothing terrible about nominating a borderline article. Nominations should not be interpreted as antipathy; nominating "bicycle mechanic" for deletion does not mean "I hate bicycle mechanics" or "I hate cyclists." Dpbsmith (talk) 14:33, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I thought the article would be about that Monty Python sketch where everyone is superman, one superman breaks his bicycle and no one can fix it, except one superman who's in fact a bicycle mechanic, who fixes the bike and saves the day.  Grue  16:59, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dance dance revolution supernova

Background:

DDR Freak (www.ddrfreak.com) posted this piece of news about DDR supernova. The site has a lot of traffic (first hit when googling "Dance Dance Revolutiuon" and it is known that there are official representatives from Konami on that site. Yet, the site does not serve as official news site of Konami or whatever company.

Alt.tv.real-world

nn Usenet group, forumcruft. User:Zoe|(talk) 02:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Speedy delete. Completely non-notable. User's only other edits were repeated reposting of the slogan. No content whatsoever. - Lucky 6.9 03:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Changing vote to simple delete in its current state. User claims that this is one of Usenet's largest groups, but there's no claim in the article itself. Will gladly consider a change of vote if notability can be established. - Lucky 6.9 06:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep if cleaned up. I'm not sure how to judge notability for newgroups. Google groups gives about as many entries for alt.tv.real-world as the least-notable newsgroups with articles listed at List of newsgroups. For example, compare 27,000 posts in alt.zines [8] to 31,000 posts in alt.tv.real-world [9]. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-16 06:56Z
    • One way to judge notability is to look for multiple non-trivial published works about the newsgroup, such as FAQs on http://faqs.org./ for example. (This newsgroup has no FAQ there.) Counting posts is not a metric that is in any way reliable. In addition to the reason described below, consider the fact that raw article counts do not exclude Usenet spam. Uncle G 09:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Delete since no published works about the newsgroup that I can find. FAQ for Alt.tv and other sources all still lists it as about the TV show rather than what the article describes, so the claims are unverifiable. Thanks Uncle G. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-17 02:05Z
        • Nonsense, I'm afraid. Of course the FAQ will show the newsgroup to be about the TV show; it's an outdated FAQ from before the transformation of the group into a hub for off-topic comedy and trolling. The new users of the group are not likely to be inclined to write and publish FAQs on their own activities, nor are the conventional FAQ anthologies on the Web likely to accept such FAQs. The "claims" would be easily verifiable using Google Groups, if only the author had bothered to include some links (a strike against him, unfortunately).
          • I'm not predispositioned to delete (as you could tell from my vote changing); just couldn't verify the claims. Since you say it is indeed easily verifiable could you tell us, and tell the article, where to find reputable references? —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-18 01:07Z
            • Read what I wrote again, please. I didn't say "is easily verifiable," I said "would be easily verifiable" if the author (who surely possesses this information, if it exists) had taken the time to include some links to relevant articles in Google's Usenet archive. If the author, or an author, can do this, there will be your evidence in favor of keeping. If not, delete.
              • Okay, I see what you mean. However, I'm not sure that three or four links to posts would qualify as evidence that the newsgroup has permanently gone off-topic. Quarl (talk) 18:41, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
                • I thought you were looking for evidence of notability, not evidence that the newsgroup had gone permanently off-topic. The former could, as I said, be demonstrated with some links to the Google archive; the latter would not be so easy to establish with links of any kind (one would have to present some kind of overview of recent activity, with the number of off-topic posts compared to the number of on-topic posts, if any).
                  • I suppose it's no consolation that I was in the process of updating the article, in which I was citing the historical significance of the group, and intended to include many links to the Google archives supporting these claims? Because, that was, in fact, what I was doing. I hadn't uploaded anything yet, because I didn't want to put it out there unfinished. So that's how it's going to be in the annals of history: "non-notable." Goodbye forever, I guess.169.155.33.1 23:23, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note: Is a post-count really an indication of the notoriety of a newsgroup? Trade groups and utility groups get hundreds of posts a day, but that doesn't mean they've made any historical changes or contributions to the Internet community. alt.tv.real-world, along with other groups (alt.fan.karl-malden.nose, alt.alien.vampire.flonk.flonk.flonk, etc.) changed the face of Usenet. Just a thought, in our favour, but a thought nontheless. Wavy G 07:26, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I was using post-count to argue in your favor :) Feel free to provide some evidence of notability other than post count to convince others that the article should be kept. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-16 07:47Z
    • I would agree that it isn't a reliable metric, for the simple reason that it is easy to post to Usenet in automated fashion, as many of the "binaries" newsgroups demonstrate, without human intervention at all. Uncle G 09:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seven stars of Revelation

Original research. User:RickReinckens nominated the article for speedy deletion, with the following reason: "The Book of Revelation is full of religious symbolism. The article takes one of dozens, perhaps hundreds, of interpretations, none of which can be proved and presents one person's pure speculation as fact. His interpretation is by no means a mainstream interpretation. See Rick Reinckens in talk page for more." The page doesn't seem to be a speedy candidate, so I am going for regular deletion instead. - Mike Rosoft 02:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Eat Salami

I speedied this when it popped up on New Pages. Since the, I've had a message from User:Eatsalami (the original editor of the article) complaining about my choice of action. Coincidentally, my user page was also severely vandalised by User:24.17.193.64, who was the only other contributor to the article. I still believe that this page of nonsense should be speedied, but I'm trying to be fair by giving User:Eatsalami the chance to make his/her case. Cnwb 04:11, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The history of what? This is a serious question. Cnwb 05:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Don't Delete, While it may at first glance seem to be "Patent nonsense" it does reflect the quirky nature of both the Cybiko Handheld and the Cybiko Handheld Community.

The phrase is still widely used in the very limited community in which it is known.

Although arguably it is of late being used more as an alias for the author than its previous use as a Jibe intended to reflect the programming styles of many within the community. As such it may still fall under the "Non-Notable Biography" clause.

Thanks to those who would consider keeping the article or suggesting any way to merge some portion there of within a cybiko related page.

Graham Diamond

Poorly written article about an author, which is likely vanity. Sales ranks for his books at Amazon seem to be well over 1,000,000. Around 900 googles for "Graham Diamond", but many appear to be "Graham-Diamond" (two separate people), no relation. In any case, thats very few for someone who has evidently authored so many books. Not sure if any are vanity presses or not. -R. fiend 04:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Gavin Heffernan

What we have here seems to be a guy who shot a couple of videos which were shown at a few festivals. No distribution and no reported box office gross. "Expiration" was released on DVD, but as far as I can tell Hefferman released it himself, making it the equivalent of a vanity press book. Doesn't seem to be at amazon anyway. I'd call this article vanity or self promotion, but if Hefferman wrote it I'd expect he'd have more to say than this. Anyway, delete this as another guy with a video camera trying to get a start in the film industry. Good luck Gavin, come back when you succeed. -R. fiend 17:53, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, and I know you get a lot of, erm, unusual people on IMDb but both Gavin Heffernan's page and his films have armies of sockpuppets in them, all active around May 2004. This is probably another example of extensive self promotion. Xezbeth 18:04, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

    • I'm not sure. I don't know much about the Canadian Filmmaker's Festival, but some of these festivals are pretty small and many of the entries win some sort of award. It's not unheard of for someone to bring along enough friends that they can stuff the ballot box, or winning by being the local favorite. We're not talking the Palme d'Or or Cannes or anything. I'll look into it a bit though. -R. fiend 02:50, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, as above. --Daniel11 02:35, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable or vanity (and the link on the Canadian Filmmaker's Festival fails to establish notability thereof, so presently fails to sway my opinion on this). Radiant_* 12:35, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as the festival looks fairly large, with some fairly major sponsors. Burgundavia 17:51, Mar 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I seem to disagree on the definition of "large". According to the festival's website, it lasts four days (in 2005, from April 7 to 10); only 10 feature films are involved - this year, Ivan Reitman's "Meatballs" will be shown, evidently hours-concours; it has no tradition either: the first edition took place last year, when the winner was Hefferman. I'm sorry, but IMHO more than this award is required to make someone notable. VladMV ٭ talk 18:51, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Can you find out how many film were in it last year? If it's only 10 this year I suspect it may well have been fewer last year. Coming in best of 6 or 7 is not a terribly great accomplishment. -R. fiend 20:45, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I couldn't find anything on the official website, I suppose the contents from last year's festival were removed. This page lists the films: they were also presented in four days. Assuming some of those are documentary features, I think it's reasonable to suppose at most some 10 feature films were competing. VladMV ٭ talk 21:58, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete While the filmmaker may oneday be notable, the current work done to date is not notable enough for inclusion. The article can be re-entered at such a time as more noteworthy accomplishments have been made. --Lloydd 04:26, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I was wondering, in general should not self-financed undistributed movies be treated much the same as vanity published books? I don't see a huge difference, except perhaps that a movie made along these lines is more likely to be purchased by a distributor than a self-published book is likely to be purchased by a publisher. Given that I'm not sure that's true, and that until such a movie is purchased the matter in inconsequential, I'm tempted to think movies like this, and the people who make them need to be held to some standard beyond some award at a small festival. Even the winners at Sundance and the like are basically significant only because the award guarantees them a commercial release. -R. fiend 23:18, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Not really. While the commercial aspect of cinema clearly is quite important, you'll find that there's a vast amount of interest in the art in general. For instance, google the indy in question, Gavin Heffernan, and you'll find quite a lot of hits, with many reviews of his commercially undistributed movies. --Daniel11 00:29, 26 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Kings of Quendor articles

The pages I am nominating are:

Entharion the Wise, Mysterion the Brave, Zylon the Aged, Zilbo I, Bozbo I, Zilbo II, Harmonius Fzort, Bozbo II, Thaddium Fzort, Mumbo I, Bozbo III, Bozbo IV, Mumbo II, Zilbo III, Duncanthrax the Bellicose, Belwit the Flat, Frobwit the Flatter, Timberthrax Flathead, Phloid Flathead, Mumberthrax Flathead, Dimwit Flathead, Loowit Flathead, Duncwit Flathead, Barbawit Flathead, Idwit Oogle Flathead, Wurb Flathead, General Syovar, Lord Syovar II, Lord Syovar III, Mir Yannick, Lucy Flathead.

These are short stubs on non-notable characters in the game Zork. There is already a parent page, Kings of Quendor which already contains nearly all of this information. I cannot imagine a need for an article for each of these characters nor any of the articles becoming more than a stub.

The reason I don't just merge it all to the existing parent page is that I see no need to have these redirects. I suggest that any non-duplicate information is merged across to Kings of Quendor then delete all of these articles. --Qirex 04:40, 16 January 2006 (UTC) delete most of these articles, but keep Duncanthrax the Bellicose, Dimwit Flathead, Mir Yannick, and Lucy Flathead. --Qirex 09:30, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Please give me some time to finish these. There is ample information on these characters in the Encyclopedia Frobozzica and scattered throughout all the games in the series. There is an article for every single King of Gondor, King of Numenor etc. from Lord of the Rings, even through virtually none of these characters are involved in the plot and are only referenced in the appendices. I feel that this is an analogous situation. Wikipedia is not paper after all. Merging the content will very quickly create a prohibitively long and unusable article. Savidan 04:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Zork isn't quite comparable to Lord of the Rings, but anyway, I would support the deletion of those articles too; none of this belongs in an encyclopedia. Yes, there is a lot in here that doesn't belong, but that is not a justification for adding more stuff that doesn't belong. --Qirex 05:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    They are extremely comparable in that they both have cult followings of fans. My point wasn't that we should delete those articles too but the fact that none of them have even been nominated for deletion in the hundreds of editors who have undoubtedly seen them implies that there is some kind of consensus for having articles about things that are in fictional universes especially when the fan base is so large as it is for Zork and Lord of the Rings.Savidan 05:10, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge - Originator should merge these into a single article and turn the rest of these into redirects. Wikipedia really doesn't need this very specialized knowledge spread out amongst so many different articles. Cyde Weys 2M-VOTE 05:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge by Savidan, per Cyde Weys. If not Delete. Madman 05:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge its usual to merge fictional stubs, many of the Lord of the Rings king articles include some information on the king rather than just stating when/who they were -- Astrokey44|talk 05:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Having slept on it I decided that the mergists are probably right. I've already taking the liberty of merging most of these articles. However, I suggest that the following four articles be kept: Duncanthrax the Bellicose, Dimwit Flathead, Mir Yannick, and Lucy Flathead. The first two are described in detail in a varity of literature related two Zorks 1-3 and Zork Zero and the second two are the main characters of Zork Grand Inquisitor. Thus, all four of them have signficance to the Zork Universe far beyond just being a King of Quendor. Those four articles could easily be extended to a lenght that I believe most people would feel warrants an article. Is this solution amenable to anyone as a compromise? Savidan 21:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that this is a good compromise, I think the language I used earlier was too stong given that I don't know much about the game. Cheers, Qirex 00:20, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep The tiniest bit of research would reveal that the sole author, User:Rogerthat is a well-established Wikipedian who has started dozens of articles/stubs on Australian media and sportspeople. If this qualifies as a vanity article, I'd have to say Brett is a very modest man indeed. There is no suitable criteria in WP:BIO and the Google test is not applicable. I would have thought the tiniest consideration and respect for the work of other Wikipedians would hold one back from zooming to AfD... like maybe even asking the contributor to expand on the subject's notability... but apparently not. I am disappointed. pfctdayelise 13:34, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ThreeAnswers 06:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]


ThreeAnswers: By this criteria, half of the articles you've written would be "non-notable". MC Mong, the Korean hip-hop artist you wrote about ranks 425,000 on Alexa. Does that mean he's not worth mentioning? This article was just posted, give it some time to develop.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.35.26.78 (talk • contribs) 07:46, 16 January 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Of course, Gamersdaily is primarily a website, and MC Mong is primarily a person (or so I'm told). That means they fall under different notability guidelines (see WP:WEB and WP:BIO). It's the article's merit as an encyclopedic entry that is under examination, and the comparison to the nominator's edits seems irrelevant. — TheKMantalk 08:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: I cleaned up the article, but I'm still leaning towards delete because of the impression that this is podcruft. I would like to see definitive proof of userbase and awards (see citation tags in article) before I decide otherwise. — TheKMantalk 08:35, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Visitor stats can be provided if needed to confirm the site gets 2000+ visitors. Also a check on iTunes own podcast directory would show that we're the highest ranked Independant gaming podcast. User:Thefoldtalk
  • Comment: I've just supplied screenshots of almost 9,000 people on the site at once, and of the iTunes 'Top 100' podcasts, showing GamersDaily ahead of Ziff-Davis's "1Up.com" show and Kevin Rose's "Systm" show. The only gaming-related shows ahead of GamersDaily are "G4/TechTV Videocast" and the "PC Gamer Official Podcast," both of which are run by multi-million-dollar corporations. That is quite an accomplishment -- I don't see how this can be considered podcruft.



  • Comment: all you people who are saying delete probably all got paid to say it. not notable my ass. why dont you all just shut up and listen to the podcast. after all theres a godamn link on the bottom of the article. and look at it this way, if it werent notable, GamersDaily wouldnt exist right now! And about the "Podcruft" remark, They put up the pictures of Gamersdaily having 8000+ people on the site and them being on itunes' top 100.

The point to this comment: Leave GamersDaily alone, they didnt hurt anyone, "They come in peace".

Haketsi

  1. The creator of the article is anonymous.
  2. The article cites no sources.
  3. No one else has adopted the article.
  4. A Wikipedia editor and I have both tried to confirm the information without success.
  5. Google lists 236 results for the word Haketsi. All of them are either random word lists or contain the exact same text as Wikipedia.
  6. Many of the Google results with the same text cite Wikipedia as the source.
  7. I emailed the webmaster of the most popular website in Georgia a few minutes ago asking whether he can confirm the truth or falsity of the article but have not heard back yet.
  8. Unless this article is greatly expanded it should deleted.
  9. As is, this is a dictionary entry that belongs in Wiktionary, which doesn't have the term either.
  10. Even if the information is correct—which has not been established—it obviously is not important. If it had even minor importance, it should appear somewhere else on the Web in a different context.

I received the following response to my inquiry:

Hi there,
The word "Haketsi" is not Georgian, I never even heared that Georgia is called so... You can ask Armenians about thi term, they might provide more information about it.
Good luck!

I am researching an English-language article for the free on-line
encyclopedia en.wikipedia.org
The article says that "Haketsi" was the Armenian name of Georgia in ancient
times (before 800).
Can you confirm whether that is true or false?
Thanks!

Reason why the page should be kept

  • KeepIt's documentation of an Internet Meme of late 2005/ early 2006. Deleting the page won't make that fact go away. (This anonymous comment added from IP address) -- 70.24.118.158
  • KeepI see no reason to delete this. It's 100% credible and indeed documents a real, if not terribly widely known, Internet phenomenon. It's perhaps the first interesting issue raised from public personal photography sites such as webshots, and I could easily see this phenomenon repeating itself. If it does, Wenk will be counted among the first to generate unintentional popularity in this way (by user 24.211.155.113).

Liam Burbridge, Technobangman, The Royal Filipino Under Aged Vegetarian Society

Patent nonsense, I think it's been deleted before. Pretty funny though, I'd suggest BJAODN. Eixo 12:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • OK, Technobangman is somewhat different from what was deleted but recognisably the same organisation. There were not many votes on its AfD though. Liam burbridge was speedied. So it is reasonable to complete this process in respect of Burbridge, and at least defensible to leave Technobangman for now. If this AfD ends in a substantial consensus to delete then I will watch the pages, with a view to speedying any reposts and possible protection, and told the user so here. Will that do? - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I guess I'd just like to see that whole lot speedily deleted due to my previous involvement in the original Technobangman AfD which sparked the creation of these nonsense pages (we're the facists btw, for deleting the original Technobangman article). The user concerned repeatedly vandalised the AfD page, made personal and general attacks against the voters and used multiple accounts so as to deter detection of their vandalism. I strongly suspect the newly-created User:Skillman100 is also User:Liamcb and User:82.110.149.183. It just annoys me to see someone using Wikipedia in this manner. David Johnson [T|C] 16:18, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • It annoys me, too. I'm sure if this were anything other than my first day as an admin I'd have nuked them straight away; any other admins stumbling across this may feel inclined to do so. On the other hand the other AfD got few votes; if this counts a goodly number it will make future enforcement completely uncontentious (in my view - but what do I know?) - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 16:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dont you think nuking us over a website would be a bit silly. Did'nt you learn anything from Hiroshima. Anyway you need a war decleration and in most cases, a nuclear attack would waarant an approval from the UN. And you'd probably just end up affecting yourself. Gaylord. Think before you nuke, thats what i always say. And btw, Liam CB is not skillman100, I am skillman 100. Why is it not plausible that he can have a friend with the same sense of humour? As for attacks on individuals, id like to make it clear that we never made the first move. We were ridiculed by certain users randomly for no reason, particular David Johnson, which i particularly find offensive. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.110.149.183 (talk • contribs) .

i think that you should maybe get out more. btw the facists were not you, the facists were very strong men oppressing people of ethnic origin. and i overcame them single handedly. do not sully my triumph! i am a reformed man and, as i said to robert mugabe when i looked him straight in the eye, IGNORANCE LEADS TO FEAR, FEAR LEADS TO ANGER, ANGER LEADS TO HATE, HATE LEADS TO SUFFERING. if this has the same effect on you than it did on bobby m you will be crying in shame now. to clarify, i am not a sad person who sits alone on the internet creating people and masturbating over bestiality. i am an ARTIST. thank you,
liam x x x
ps i would like to ask David Johnson if he has a life outside of wikipedia? maybe a job? friends? family? if so, maybe he could spend his time on this outside life rather than being a colossal prick. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Liamcb (talk • contribs) .

DJ Playero

"One of the producers of reggaeton that initiated this movement". Well, well, well, how arrogant, since our article on reggaeton specifically declares the origin of reggaeton to be uncertain ("The birthplace of the music genre is a subject of debate between those who believe it was started in Panama and those who believe it originated in Puerto Rico"). Obvious NPOV violation, and I'm not sure how notable this is. So delete. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais (Be eudaimonic!) 13:39, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • I agree. However, Playero is indeed one of the biggest pioneers in the reggaeton genre in Puerto Rico, back in the 90s. The article definitely needs a lot of work, but that necessarily doesn't mean a deletion. I say keep and I'll try to work with it in the following days. Thief12 02:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete as non-notable musician. CSD:A7. Stifle 20:19, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What's the criteria to determine who's notable and who isn't? Obviously, Playero is not an international artist, but you can ask anyone in Puerto Rico (and perhaps even Latin America) who's one of the pioneers of reggaeton and lots will tell you "Playero". Most of his recordings were underground tapes that weren't sold on stores because the genre wasn't mainstream yet. That's why they even called it "underground rap". And, like I said in the article, lots of today's artists (even Daddy Yankee) started their careers with Playero. Truth is that Playero is (along with Vico C, El General, and others) one of the first to bring reggaeton music to the surface. Heck! I don't even like reggaeton that much and here I am speaking for him, LOL! Thief12 00:47, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Higher Ground (nightclub)

    • The original Higher Ground in Winooksi, Vermont closed in 2004, with a newer location opened later that year in South Burlington, Vermont. It is owned by the brother in law of Phish's lead guitarist, Trey Anastasio, and a lot of history, pertaining more to the band's side projects than the band itself has been made at both locations. Phish is one of the major Vermont institutions like Ben & Jerry. I originally authored the article because I believe that Higher Ground has been an important place to the people of Vermont and the fans of Phish, and feel that it belongs in Wikipedia as much as a venue like CBGB.

There are societies ands clubs for animal friends. How is the thing that Brigitte Bardot and so many other people advocate, but not necessarily activistic? Shouldn't be an article for it? I don't know about other countries, but my country there is a special word for it (zoophilia). I was surprised that there was no mention to this in wikipedia, except some vague articles about animal rights and zoophilia as a pervertion... and now it's considered a candidate for deletion.

I'm guessing there isn't but is that "just the way it operates".

2004 in the United States

  • I'm from the US as well. I checked out the Canada article and there turns out to be a whole panoply of articles for over a hundred years. Is this true for any other country? I stand by my statement that Wikipedia should not isolate these chronologies by country since, no matter what the country, there is almost always going to be some influence to or from another country. Also, each of the dates, e.g., 2005, has its own universal chronology. The Canada articles disturb me, however. I would be extremely reluctant to AfD all of them since so much effort has clearly gone into their production. By the same token, I think someone should have AfDed the first Canada article when it appeared. My suggested resolution at this point would be to leave the Canada articles alone, but not let any others be developed and get similarly out of hand. I realize this is a half-assed resolution, but it is the most equitable I can think of. Jtmichcock 13:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Microsoft Interview

Delete — As with the previous AfD, the same reasons there, apply here: Is there even any need for it? It's and interview process; is it just becuase it's Microsoft that it gets its own page? People should be fairly familiar with the interview process. If it has to be deleted, then perhaps put a {{deletedpage}} on it? KILO-LIMA 17:16, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, and if it's substantially the same as the last one, speedy delete. I'm not sure it is - of course I can't see the original, but one of the sentences was quoted in the AfD - I searched the article for part of it ('development manager') and found nothing, so it's probably not completely identical. Its only purpose is still basically as a how-to, which violates WP:NOT. --Malthusian (talk) 17:28, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete There is next-to-nothing in the article that is different from a majority of 'prepare yourself for a job interview' articles that are published on a weekly basis. The Microsoft aspect doesn't make it notable.  (aeropagitica)  17:32, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Article has improved since the last AfD. Even a merge is better than delete. I don't think we want to upset a relatively new user to Wikipedia by deleting one of his decent articles? --★Ukdragon37★talk 18:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • There are numerous new users who's pages are delted. Some are even wrost than AfD, and in this case, I mean Speedy. This article seems to blatantly advertise Microsoft's interview, and Wikipedia is not a how-to. KILO-LIMA 20:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep or Merge I think my article should at least be merged with the Microsoft entry. Microsoft was one of the first, if not the first company to develop this unique style of interviewing. Since other companies like Google and Yahoo also use this type of interview, it is becoming more commonplace, so I can see why people might want to merge my article with Microsoft. I did spend a good deal of time crafting the article and you can find that the content is factual and well-written. I only decided to write this page after reading the Microsoft entry and seeing that "Microsoft Interview" was not linked to a Wiki page. I think that those who are more familiar with the more traditional behavioral interviews will learn something about how technical interviews are conducted. -- Suvablee0506 18:21, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I can't see what makes the interview process unusual, personally. The procedure and the questions all seem pretty standard. This may be because, if the article does have a purpose, it's hidden in all the stuff that frankly, doesn't belong in an encyclopaedia entry. We don't need to know, for example, Microsoft's current job postings, or that they pay for your accomodation, or their expense claims procedure (which is, btw, identical to every other expense claims procedure). Or rather, we would if we were applying for a job at Microsoft, but no-one who isn't could possibly find that information interesting; that means it's not suitable for an encyclopaedia. If it's a unique style of interviewing, then tell us about it and remove all the other stuff, because I honestly can't see it in this article. --Malthusian (talk) 18:37, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I do see your point. Perhaps I can incorporate some of what I have written in "The Second Round Technical Interview" and and "Interview Questions" into the "Business culture" section of the Microsoft entry and delete the separate entry for "Microsoft Interview"? - Suvablee0506 18:45, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Me too. Perhaps merging would be better. But no large amount of detail should be added. It is only a process as to whether someone should ge a job at Microsoft, or not. KILO-LIMA 18:50, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is neither anything notable nor encyclopedic about this entry.Microsoft's interview process is not particularly different than the interview process for other similar companies. I think it borders on advertising, to be honest. Crunch 18:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Back in the 80s and 90s, the Microsoft interview procedure was influential and innovative. I don't diasagree that the article needs to be cleaned-up, though. The talk page suggests there was a far more interesting version previously available, but I don't see it in the history. Can it be resurrected? -- Mikeblas 19:05, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - The Microsoft interview process is definitely notable and drastically altered interviews across the whole field of computer science. Cyde Weys 2M-VOTE 21:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. If that's true, then I think the article can be rewritten with that fact as its focus, and less detail on all the steps of the interview process, many of which are common to every job interview in every field, dating long before the 1980s. Crunch 00:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Smells like a copyvio or an official submission to me. e.g. It is expected that the candidate research Microsoft's various businesses and product groups, and come prepared to speak in-depth about his/her résumé in addition to asking thoughtful questions. --kingboyk 22:38, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It was no intention of mine at all to create an entry that would cause controversy. I was just reading the Microsoft entry and found the wiki-link to "Microsoft Interview" with an unwritten article. I was totally unaware that it had been deleted before. I understand everyone's concern about the entry. Perhaps an addition to the Job interview entry could include a description of a technical interview using the Microsoft interview process as an example. Obviously, only parts of the current article would be used. I myself am leaning towards deleting the "Microsoft Interview" entry and merging parts of it with possibly Microsoft and Job interview because that type of interview is becoming more commonplace. I am however against deleting it outright before at least some of it is used somewhere because I did do genuine research and put forth an honest effort. Any thoughts? - Suvablee0506 23:27, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Don't worry too much about the controversy, honestly. We try to assume good faith and I'm sure there's a way we can use some of your material. Besides, the guidance presented to a user when (s)he clicks on a red link maybe isn't good enough. --kingboyk 23:36, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Wikipedia is not a how to guide. --Bachrach44 02:56, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I would just like to say that contrary to what people are saying here, this article's subject in my opinion is quite notable. This interviewing process is drastically different from what the majority of other companies use. There should be somewhere on Wikipedia to document this. I agree that maintenance may be needed (clean up, removing potential adverts, merged etc.) but I do not believe this article should be deleted outright (as per my vote above). --★Ukdragon37★talk 18:00, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unencyclopedic, the pracice will surely change over years. As an anectode: I know about one guy who got hired by Microsoft (as a tester) w/o any interview at all (a student who finished university, not someone with big name). He was recommended by a friend (who even didn;'t worked in MS) and got in without being asked anything at all. So the article isn't even correctly describing reality. Pavel Vozenilek 22:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would everyone be okay with just using some part of the entry and merging it with Job interview to describe a technical interview using Microsoft as just one example? The Job interview entry has a section on behavioral interviews but not technical interviews. Again, I am not against deleting the entry but not before some of it is used somewhere.- Suvablee0506 17:26, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge As has been noted above, the subject of the article is particularly noteworthy because of its originality and subsequent effect on many companies, especially in the 80's and 90's. However, the article itself is not spectacular. It should be condensed, refocused, and placed either on the Microsoft page or the Job interview page, the other with a note and a link.

James McGowan

  • Person is non-notable, not everyone who presumes to start a "ministry" is notable for that reason.
  • The person has a limited publication history. Not everyone who publishes a book is notable.
  • Membership in a theological society is not a criteria for notability.
  • Not everyone who graduates from Louisiana Baptist University is notable for that reason.
  • The person is an "education pastor" at a church. Not everyone who serves in that capacity is notable.
  • Attempt to include article in the Wikipedia article base is POV driven.
  • Interestingly enough, Gastrich would rather whine about my "back-handedly" thanking someone for their vote (the "thanks" was genuine, in fact, and unlike Gastrich, I'm not out shopping for "votes," so his comment was not only juvenile, but disingenuous) than provide any rationalé for McGowan's notability. - WarriorScribe 17:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Strong Delete bush leage minister not note worthy
  • I'm fairly certain that, when we want to engage in an evaluation of notability, we can't deal in "probably." Apparently Wikipedia does have standards. Do you have evidence that "between the book and the ministry" McGowan is "known well beyond his own congregation?" What is "known well?" Is it enough to merit an encyclopedia article and, if so, why? That's part of the point, I think. Thanks for your vote. - WarriorScribe 22:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

un-notability: her only published work is her thesis Melaen 18:06, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • What I meant was she might have become notable if she'd had more time - but a single thesis would have had to be exceptional to qualify her, and I don't think anyone is claiming that for it. Dlyons493 Talk 20:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have added more citations with more to come. I do think Canters made a significant contribution to philosophy - I intend to give a summary of her thinking. Her work has just been published so it will take some time for there to be critical reviews of her ideas - so perhaps give the entry some time. It is an interesting question as to how many books make a person notable - and surely there is a very subjective element in the judgement of who is notable and who is not - and how this is measured. Certainly, Canters made a verifable contribution to human knowledge whatever on thinks of the subject matter itself. Also the book was co written with Grace Jantzen who herself has clearly made advances in the feminist philosophy of religion and contributions to developing the work of French feminist thought in the English speaking world.

Artifact of search engine optimization contest - not encyclopedic Tom Harrison Talk 19:54, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Even though its for a good cause we can't keep it on those grounds. It has to succeed under the requirements of notability.--Urthogie 21:20, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Wikipedia is a place people are likely to look for unbiased information on a contest of this type. In the unlikely event that the contest proves not to attract interest or notoriety, the entry can be deleted later. For now, it is a significant piece of net culture. History will later determine whether I am right or wrong on this. Ringbark 22:32, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per Achille--Ringbark 15:14, 22 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. The dollar prize on this contest isn't indicitive of its magnitude. Thousands are blogging about it including a vocal senior engineer at Google and it is a major test of the Google index. --tspencer 21:17, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You have no edits to date, how can this be your first edit? Crossout.--Urthogie 21:47, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It's a significant viral campaign. Better uses have an objective source to reference information on it, than leave it to the campaigners to promote their own sites on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.179.213.59 (talk • contribs)

It's a debate. The bulleted bold terms are only a rough guide for getting consensus. Puppets who repeat the same arguments aren't adding anything. —Quarl (talk) 2006-01-17 05:56Z
My objection was to Urthogie who for some reason decided to strike-through comments by people he decided weren't entitled to their opinion.O'kelly 09:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also, the content of this article is not verified. What is V7 networks, what is its relevance, and why doesn't the article link it? Dsol 23:02, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The page will be rife with spam until the end of the contest and the original article wasn't even that accurate (the rules are based on a 2nd ruleset setup by another SEO, not the contest's originator). Perhaps re-instate after the closing date of the contest (May 15th 2006) to preserve a historical reflection of the event. The extent of the coverage and pickup will ultimately make this an unique event and worthy of a page, but we're nowhere near that stage just now. Weeboab 00:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This contest IS notable. Unlike mosts contests, there will be much information learned from this one that many will want access to. Wikipedia provides a central point at which to access that information. This contest is part of internet history and certainly worthy of inclusion as other SEO events have also been included.

  • With such a high profile for spam this page will stay cleaner than much of the Wiki IMHO. Take the lack of a V7N link as a for-instance. Obviously they aren't worthy of a back link and everybody so far has agreed with that assessment. I suggest that this page is bound to be at least as good as thousands of current Wikipedia pages.

  • Keep. People discuss and have interest all sorts of minority things in this life, even dem nasty ol seo types.Why should a topic like V7ndotcom Elursrebmem be any less worthy? The charity thing is good too of course, give the guys a break :)
  • Delete per nn arguments stated by all above. If/when this contest is written about in major 3rd party sources (newspapers, magazines, etc.), it will, in my mind, have achieved notability and can be recreated. Zunaid 11:50, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I wholly disagree that the subject of this article is "not encyclopedic". The definition of encyclopedia decribes it as a "compendium of knowledge, either general (attempting to cover all fields)or specialized (aiming to be comprehensive in a particular field)". The goal of Wikipedia is surely the former is it not? If this is the case then inclusion of an article that is highly significant to the "field" of Search Engine Optimization (as well as historically significant) must be considered valid, noteable, and most of all, encyclopedic. Str0ud 2:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The contest is only 2 days old (hence the lack of Google references to the phrase, although several datacentres are showing 12k+ results - check http://64.233.161.105). There is notable worth from reporting the results of this event, but only after it is finished on May 15th. Weeboab 16:06, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Even when there are no results showing yet for some, in the meantime the Wikipedia page may be a good page to point to for those who don't want to give any competitors an advantage. As long as it contains valuable information and can be kept free from spam, maybe it should be kept. Philwiki 18:13, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep --Alterego 21:47, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Contest aside, we shouldn't keep neologisms around from contests. Bratschetalk | Esperanza 22:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It would serve as a good example of the kind of stupid things people in the SEO world are willing to do for the wrong reasons. This contest is by no means "a major test of the Google index" since it is flawed from the very beginning. After the contest is over, open up the article to a pro/con analysis (moderation will be necessary) of why the contest was valued and why it is flawed.Michael Martinez 23:21, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The article keeps being edited into nonsense and self-promotion, and I haven't seen a single good reason to keep Jfiling 01:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete --NaconKantari 04:09, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect to some broader SEO-topic would be helpful. -- 84.176.212.169 13:22, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect as per above. Also, a redirect (maybe even a locked one?) will eliminate the temptation to abuse Wikipedia for search enging rank. Eliot 19:11, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't Wiki. But I will say hold off on a decision. As it appears right now the V7ndotcom_Elursrebme contest is not just a major event in the SEO world, but in internationaally, in blogging circles and perhaps in 'net itself. As it stands today, the contest is in its 4th day and already bigger than the nigritude ultramarine contest of 2004. It has produced newsworthy oddities, as noted by Danny Sullivan and others. It would be best to lock the page until the end of the contest and at that time re-evaluate its worth to Wiki.
  • Delete, completely non-noteable. Tedernst | talk 23:58, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep Redirect to SEO contest. After comparing this article to Nigritude ultramarine and Seraphim proudleduck it seems obvious that all theese articles are repating the same info:
    • It's a search contest
    • It has begin/end dates
    • It has a prize
    • It uses a unique phrase that is not used before
If you remove the "fluff" that is being repeated, you can slim the articles down quite a bit. I propose we merge the following into this page:
Note: Old comment: If you want to delete this article why not delete Nigritude ultramarine and Seraphim proudleduck as well? They are the exact same thing. I'll nominate those articles for deletion myself if this article is deleted. This user has left wikipedia 20:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
They should be deleted. It's better to wait though, so people don't have to copy their comments to three pages at once. If this debate results in deletion it will set a strong precedent. Dsol 20:47, 21 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I went ahead and nominated all of those articles for merge into SEO contest and creating the apropriate category to list them. This user has left wikipedia

L'Hôtel

Not notable enough for an encyclopedia, even though Oscar Wilde stayed there. Arniep 20:18, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • As far as I can tell, the hotel may well be notable, and I think it is wrong to assert otherwise without good arguments. A hotel of that age in a city like Paris is quite likely, for instance, to figure in film or literature. But the article doesn't explain any notability the hotel may have, beyond the fact that Oscar Wilde lived there his last days (it actually seems that he even died at the hotel[27], but "lived his last days" probably works better in marketing). This is not a bad start, but the article doesn't currently say anything that isn't already in the article on Wilde. Weak delete. u p p l a n d 10:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

M96 motorway

Delete. The so-called M96 motorway isn't a motorway at all - it's a non-noteworthy piece of tarmac that isn't open to the public and is only used for training simulations as part of the UK Fire Service College. The information in the article is largely taken from this article on psuedo-humourous UK roads site Pathetic Motorways. However, since it has this name, it keeps on appearing in motorway lists and is getting confused for a real, functioning motorway. A move to UK Fire Service College could be an option, but that facility must consist of greatly more than just a road traffic accident simulator and this would make a poor article for that title.

Dual gauge for Africa

In some senses, it's a good article, but I suspect there's a lot of Original Research going on, which is contrary to policy -- RoySmith (talk) 21:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I've put up a 'context' and an 'unsourced' tag; if that gets fixed, it looks like a pretty good article. Should be easy for the author to get sources for it. Lukas 22:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with regret, barring introduction of something to address WP:V and WP:NOR problems. I dropped a note atUser_talk:Tabletop, since that user seems to be the major contributor. Sourcing would turn this from a delete to a keep (of an attractively composed article) in a jiffy, IMHO. (I tried some Google searches and found nothing relevant to this being an actual proposal) ++Lar: t/c 23:01, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge the verifiable non-original research stuff back into the dual gauge article, which would a leave a longish but not overly long section afaict. Delete the rest with regret. If Tabletop were to host this proposal on an external site it would make a very good external link from our article. (If I understand such things correctly, if the page was licensed under the GFDL and linked back to us then they could take the article as it stands(?).) Thryduulf 00:32, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • As I understand it, personal websites shouldn't be used as primary sources (see WP:NOR), so even that might not do, unless there were some independent corroboration that this is a proposal that someone or some organisation, that is notable, has made. I'm hoping that this material really DOES have a verifiable source because it's neat/interesting, but neatness does not count. (take that, Mrs Schwartz, and other third grade teachers everywhere). It has to be both interesting and important. This applies whether the material is merged in or kept separate, IMHO. ++Lar: t/c 01:02, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Sorry, I should make myself clearer. What I was proposing was that this be taken to an external website where it can be linked to as a "further reading" type external link, rather than using it as a source for an article. Thryduulf 10:41, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No vote. "Perpetually professed" is a term-of-art within religious orders, meaning committed forever, but it's true of all Roman Catholic priests (as well as all Roman Catholic nuns who have made a "solemn profession" rather than a "simple profession", which can be for a given time rather than forever), so its emphasis in the article is a bit peculiar. - Nunh-huh 00:28, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will be done editing in a realtively short time. The previuous version drew rather too closely on some published accounts of Fr. John Corapi's life, was IMO rather PoV, and said more about his life before becommign a priest than about his preaching afterwards, which is what he is IMO notable for. I am working on that now.

        • My argument is that he is considerably more notable than your comments imply. He seems to have in effect become somethign of a Catholic televangelist -- at any rate a very popular lecturere and speaker, in paerson, in recordings, and on both radio and television broadcasts, as well as a popular writer, at least within a certian Catholic niche. That is far more than simply saing that he "preaches". He has had at least some mainstream news coverage, and easily passes the google test. I wish that I had found an outside assesment/review of his work by soemone who did not sound so much like a partisan -- I suspect one is out there, but it wasn't in the first few pages of google hits. The article still needs work, but it is now much less PoV and IMO pretty clearly establishes at least basic notability. DES (talk) 17:02, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • The point being that in an article on a preacher it is superfluous to say that he preaches, it kind of goes with the job and in context looks rather desperate, as if there is nothing more that can be said about him. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 12:20, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • But not all priests are preachers. Unlike most Protestant clergymen, a lot of Catholic priests never actually get to preach to a congregation. They work all sorts of other jobs within the church. So it doesn't hurt to be specific. Kafziel 14:04, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep-A bit marginal, but not enough so to be a weak keep. He gets recent hits at Google News, 2 hits at Google Scholar, and has a CD at Amazon[29]. Apparently somewhat important in the world of American Catholics even if I've not heard of him.--T. Anthony 03:57, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seaforth Doom

A myth, presented in the encyclopedia as a fact. There are no sources on this that pass this off as true, aside from a couple free web pages. Looking at the talk page, someone posted this from a more reputable source, [30]: "There is a long tradition of claims to be able to foretell the future and having the ability to have Second Sight. The most famous of these, was Coinneach Odhar, better known as the Brahan Seer, some of whose visions for the future are said to have come to pass. He foretold the site of the Battle of Culloden, the construction of the Caledonian Canal and the doom of the Mackenzies of Seaforth while the "black rain" on Aberdeen is said by some to be the coming of the oil industry. But his fame rests on a best-selling book by Alexander Mackenzie published in 1877 and there is little historical evidence for the seer or his prophecies!" (Emphasis added) It's a myth, and not enough of a well-known myth to merit inclusion. Raggaga 22:13, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Wikipedia does not usually direct articles on fictional characters to the person who plays them on TV. In fact, the other redirect should point to this article so people looking for Plenty get Plenty and people looking for Lana get Lana. Endomion 23:09, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not disputing the content of the article. The article is named Plenty O'Toole (I). We already have an article at Plenty O'Toole, but at this time, it redirects to the actor. If you look in the history of that article, it contains more or less the text here and then some, so if somebody would like to expand on that, then they can use the correctly named article we already have. - N (talk) 23:59, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of U.S. state legislature websites

Delete because Wikipedia is not a repository of links. Instead, these could/should be listed in the external links section of the individual pages in Category:U.S. State legislatures. HollyAm 23:55, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CHANGING "STRONG KEEP" TO REDIRECT. I am the author of the article. I expanded the intro to show why this is useful and belongs on Wikipedia.

I created the article only shortly after first using Wikipedia. I have thought about it some more since putting the other comments below and it seems this information does belong in "List of state legislatures". I will be merging the information into that article. That will keep the information and put it in one place.
RickReinckens 05:23, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Frankly, the reason I created the article is that I research the law of multiple states on a regular basis and I have links to a lot of the state legislatures on my computer. I get tired of having to search around every time I need to find a state's law. WestLaw costs us several hundred dollars per month and does not have a way to download entire chapters. FindLaw and all the other "sources" have the same problem.

After almost a decade of Internet research, I accidentally ran across the National Conference of State Legislatures, whose website has a Java application that pulls up legislature links (in far more detail). That is the only site I have ever found with a "central repository" of legislature links. (The "source" I listed is actually one of my websites. I added that page after creating the Wikipedia article in case somebody wanted to complain about "no sources identified".)

Obviously, none of the "delete" people do this type of multi-state statutory research or you would realize why the list is helpful to those of us who do.

I was going to just add an URL shortcut link on my computer and I decided, "You know, it will be only a little more work to put a list of the sites on Wikipedia, and then everyone can use them."

Yes, users could use WikiPedia's Category: U.S. Legislatures to go to the WikiPedia article for each legislature and then search for a link to the legislature.

  • But, a lot of Wiki users don't know that much about how to use it. I didn't.
  • A lot of them won't get into it enough to figure that out. They just won't use it.
  • Navigating around Categories often is pretty confusing and annoying. I have several articles for which I have been trying to find categories and I keep winding up in the wrong places.
  • The Categories approach relies on 50 different authors maintaining the links on 50 different articles, with the link in a different location on each article.
  • Instead of one central location, the Categories approach requires jumping through several steps—for each legislature's website. Pretty annoying.
  • It's not like bandwidth isn't a problem with Wikipedia. With the List of Legislatures' Websites, the user pulls up one Wikipedia page and clicks on external links. With the Categories approach the user pulls up 51 articles and has to scour through each one to get to where he really wants to go.
  • Other than my webpage added after the Wiki article was created, there is no place on the Web that conveniently lists both the name of the state and the URL of the legislature. I didn't just put links, I deliberately put the URLs too. Again, for researchers, because they might want to print that information without having to do massive reformatting manually. If the article is deleted from Wikipedia, I have no real reason to keep it on my site. Which means the info won't be available anywhere. (Try the Java app at National Conference of State Legislatures to see what a pain it is compared to the list in the article.)
  • I deliberately broke up the article into sections with labels, to make it easier to find. Originally it was one large table but I found it more convenient for the user the other way--unlike the List of State Legislatures article.

Another option is merging the List of Websites article into the List of Legislatures article. I am ambivalent about that one for several reasons:

  • People looking for "website" information probably won't care about any of the other information.
  • The "Legislatures" article is already pretty long.
  • Regarding adding an additional cell to each line of the table in the other article, the table is pretty wide already.
  • The articles really have significantly different goals and content. The Legislatures article is about the legislatures--their composition, location, etc. The Websites article is strictly a convenient way to get to the legislature and a list of URLs, for those who want to publish the information (e.g., in a list of Sources consulted.)
RickReinckens 04:11, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can understand your position and can see that a lot of effort went into this list, but as previously stated above, per official Wikipedia policy, Wikipedia is not the place for a directory of websites. As a college administrator, I personally might like to see a list of websites for each state's board of higher education, but I will not be putting it here because the Wikipedia community has decided against having mere collections of external links in the encyclopedia, however helpful they may be to certain users. Another example: dictionary definitions and news articles are helpful to many but Wikipedia is not the place for them either; that's for Wikitionary and Wikinews, respectively.

  • Keep. Their international tour covered most countries in Europe, every day of November 2005, with no breaks. It included at least 3 European Ladyfest events, and they played 2 shows some days. Partyline's frontwoman Allison Wolfe was one of the organisers of the first ever Ladyfest, and if that's not enough, she was there at the start of the Riot Grrl movement in 1991 with her first band Bratmobile. Fellow bandmembers Angela and Crystal are no coffee-house losers either. --Dublinkid 16:55, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Spin.com band of the day, "Partyline singer Allison Wolfe is a founding member of the seminal riot grrrl act Bratmobile", and European tour. Kappa 17:31, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
