Delete: Nothing more than a dictionary definition, and boudoir already has an entry in Wiktionary. Ljlego 16:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 18:53, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep; stub notice indicates non-trivial potential for expansion. Monicasdude 19:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• No it doesn't. Delete dicdef. Eivind^speak! 23:22, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: per nom. Since it's already in wiktionary, nothing will be lost by deleting it and it can be recreated if further expansion is possible. Stub notice could just as easily mean that someone thought the article was too short as opposed to a carefully-placed notice of future expansion plans (that will likely never occur considering the original notice was placed upon creation almost eleven months ago). —Wknight94 (talk) 23:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. I can't countenance discriminating against this room when we have around 80 articles in category:rooms. -- JJay 11:59, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Yeah but it looks like quite a few of those are already real articles with content outside of a simple definition. —Wknight94 (talk) 21:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Some of them have extensive content now and some of them do not. Of course, none of them started life that way, a fine example being kitchen, which began like this [5] and survived in that state for some months. I would not have argued for the deletion of kitchen, which would have then made it a candidate for csd, any more than I will seek the removal of other verifiable rooms, such as boudoir, all of which can eventually make fine articles. -- JJay 21:48, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment- I would like to respond to some people who say that this article can be expanded. I say more power to you all. If you can find some information making this article worthy of an encyclopedic entry, then, by all means, post it here. I'm not against this article, I simply believe that, as of this moment, there is nothing that can salvage this article as a room. A Google Search reveals nothing pertaining to the room boudoir, simply many antiquity/room furnishing sites.--Ljlego 01:47, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• UPDATE: A quick count of the votes indicates that the "score" is 5-3 in favor of deletion, plus one comment leaning towards deletion. Final score is 5 ${\displaystyle {\begin{matrix}{\frac {1}{2}}\end{matrix}}}$-3.

It was prodded (for promoting article creator's website). Original editor simultaneously deprodded, vandalized and said it could be deleted. I reverted it for vandalism to before the prod because the origianl author has the right to deprod, and listed it here.

• Delete or Merge...somewhere...The article is essentially a fork. Jersey Devil 16:56, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge with something (I don't know quite what). It is notable, but only within the context of another UN article with more meat. --BWD ^(talk) 17:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but rename. The episode is probably complex enough that if it were merged elsewhere it would bloat it unreasonably. But the name 'bugging the UN' is absurd. Bucketsofg 18:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep — Yes the name needs addressing. — RJH 19:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep If bugging the UN isn't meaty, what is? But it could be renamed to Bugging the Security Council or similar for precision. 80.62.76.227 01:40, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as this is a major event for UN-US/UK relations. It shows that NSA is used to spy on much more than just enemy activity, and that no morale apparently is applied since spying was used to further political agendaes. We should NOT hide this major incident in obscure subsections in other articles. A human 03:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: It sounds a little sensationalized. And surveillance of diplomats is not really unexpected, although I imagine it's a violation of something. And the title is awful; maybe NSA UN diplomat electronic surveillance? Does the media have a catchy name for it? Peter Grey 08:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Rename - not the best name ever --Larsinio 21:12, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• "Keep" & '"Rename'" - some thing like 'Electronic Surveillance of UN 2002' it's an important part of history -PLawrence99cx 21:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article's creator is affiliated with the product/company and is spamming Wikipedia with this, other product articles, and product pictures. Crumbsucker 08:07, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating these related pages for spam from the same person:

• Paula Abdul Cardio Cheer.
• Envy Series

Delete all. Crumbsucker 08:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Request Sasperilla provide free copies of DVDs to all WP users who request them (to better the article, natch), and userfy Carmen Electra herself to my house if she's willing. As for the article, I had actually seen the product advertised on TV and/or maybe one of the late night hosts showed clips and commented on it. It has gotten some coverage e.g. http://www.maxim-magazine.co.uk/maximgirls/covergirls/59/carmen_electra.html It is on IMDb. I wish there were a WP policy on movies/videos, in the absence of one, I'm not sure. At a minimum smerge to Carmen Electra, possibly keep. The Envy Series, at most smerge and redirect to Kara Monaco (not on IMDb, three ghits[6]). Esquizombi 10:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• I second the motion and would be willing to review the DVDs for notability on behalf of Wikipedia. I am an admin, after all! I look forward to receiving them shortly. Thank you. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Your devotion to duty is nothing short of remarkable, so I will remark on it (later). Also I will point out that while I'm not an admin, I too am willing to sacrifice my free time in this onerous review duty if it would help matters any. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per nom. (Arundhati Bakshi (talk • contribs)) 11:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all, advertising. "Uploaded by copywrite holder. www.cardiocheer.com" says Image:Carmen Wiki.jpg which I was of course checking only for technical reasons (cough). Smerge She is notable, of course, but the article doesn't have much going for it. A small section in her article ought to cover it. Wait, there's more? Delete the other two; cheerleaders are generally not notable, nor is a DVD by a Playmate. --kingboyk 11:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all, advertising. Bhoeble 16:20, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete all as ad. --Terence Ong 16:26, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep (Electra only). Heavy publicized and reported, especially on TV talk shows, seems to be consistently high-selling (top 500) at Amazon, apparently notable commercial product. And Electra wasn't a Playmate, but a protege of Prince with a modestly but clearly notable career before her immodestly notable career. Notable trash remains notable. As for the other two, delete, salvaging a minimal Cardio mention for the Abdul article. Monicasdude 19:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Until a more careful review of the evidence has been carried out in a darkened room, I'm going to have to go with merge though. The thrust of these articles seems to be to get a rise out of buyers. As another editor said, "a small section ought to cover it"... Keep the important bits, drop the naughty bits and update the star articles directly. Leave a redirect behind where it makes sense. ++Lar: t/c 20:23, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per terence ong --Khoikhoi 04:00, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Elektra and Abdul articles. Notable video series, widely available, by notable performers. If there's too much ad copy, be bold and revise it. No vote regarding Envy as I've never heard of it before. 23skidoo 04:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge the small percentage of non-advertising content of this page with the Carmen Electra article.
• Delete as ad. All content already in bio page. Ghosts&empties 09:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per above. This is an ad. --mmeinhart 23:47, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This person seems, to me, very non-notable. There were over 3500 Nazi female guards, and the first line seems to say it all: "Little is known about Charlotte Arps". If all that is known is her birthdate, occupation and jail service, then she seems nn, even if a lot of other seemingly minor female nazis are listed under the category. Also note zero relevant Google hits.Bayberrylane 02:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. A Google search only brings back this wikipedia entry and many mirrors. There is no way to expand this biography. As such, she is non-notable. --BWD ^(talk) 03:19, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• You've never heard of Eva_Braun? Monkeyman^(talk) 05:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There's a whole list at Category:Female Nazis, if you're interested. Some of these, btw, may be candidates for deletion under nn as well. Bayberrylane 15:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. Absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Go gently, people; AfDs on highly charged topics, like Nazis, can really ruffle people's feathers. Some of the above votes assert non-notability based on no information whatsoever; that's probably inappropriate. -ikkyu2 (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, there were lots of such cases. She is not listed in the German Wikipedia. I think someone started with the category "Personnel of Nazi concentration camps" and then filled out the biographies with what little was known. ProhibitOnions 21:18, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete potentially interesting with more sources howver. --Larsinio 20:06, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, Although there were hundreds or thousands of women who worked in the camps, the fact that she was arrested for those crimes makes her notable. I say keep and expand. ExRat 08:31, 15 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was redirect to Christianity. – Sceptre ^(Talk) 12:46, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism: christian-ism is a religion loosely based on the teachings of Jesus, but doesn't necessary adhere to all of the teachings of Jesus. possible attack. per a note on the author's talk page, this has been deleted twice already, so this time it's delete and protect. bikeable (talk) 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, this changes my opinion. Unless referances can be found, I agree with the delete and protect vote. 66.236.0.12 22:13, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (registering as Grinnblade when I get off school computers)[reply]

Just for reference, here's my original comment on the talk page.

I don't think this needs to be SD'd -- while it is by no means a decent article right now, it sounds plausible -- that is, this article does not sound like patent nonsense to me. I added the cleanup and stub tags, though. 66.236.0.12 22:11, 6 March 2006 (UTC) (will register as Grinnblade when I get home).

Redirect to Christianity. Google does return a large number of results on this term; but as far as I can see, it's usually used synonymously with Christianity. ~ Booyabazooka 23:44, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

A large number? Google for "christian-ism" gets me just over 100 unique results, which is pretty paltry, and there does not appear to be much logic to their use in the way described. bikeable (talk) 23:48, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, my bad, without a hyphen it's quite popular -- for some reason I missed that. Looks like a synonym for Christianity, so redirect is ok. bikeable (talk) 23:50, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Redirect to Christianity per Booyabazooka. --Terence Ong 06:35, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The article doesn't currently establish the notability of subject or the importance of the particular suggested interpretation of Christian-ism. Googling on this topic failed to challenge my personal view that this patricular interpretation of Christian-ism is of limited importance and currency. Politepunk 09:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• delete per politepunk. Niffweed17, Destroyer of Chickens 15:44, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete per nom. Having investigated the top 30 Google results for Christianism there's too much variety in the way this word is being used for a coherent article to be written. That some people are trying to coin this word to parallel Islamism is clear enough, but the article doesn't report that. I don't see this establishing itself, but if it does that will become clear in due course. For the moment, delete. JGF Wilks 16:45, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect As per Bikeable --Larsinio
• Redirect and protect as per nom. Sandstein 10:06, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete and protect per nom. This is a neologism, no matter how you slice the pie. --Hyphen5 09:29, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect, per above - While googling does not necessarily indicate that "Christianism" is precisely the same as "Christianity," I still feel that the redirect is appropriate.

The result of the debate was redirect to Clemson University without prejudice against this article getting cleaned up at this location eventually. W.marsh 02:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Prodded, deprodded, improperly reprodded. Moving here as contested. User:JPD says "Nothing but a report from the NCAA, which isn't an approrpriate article whether it's copyrighted or not" No vote NickelShoe 20:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and clean notable, but the article should be more about the history of Clemson football, not just a press release. Eivind^speak! 23:41, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. A good article could be written about this. However, we have at the moment a media release. It would be better to redirect to Clemson University until such time as someone writes an article or even a stub. Would vote to keep even a decent stub.Capitalistroadster 02:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment. The reason the article was "improperly" reprodded, rather than brought here, was because the notice was removed because the reasoning wasn't understood. I think it's fairly clear that the article as it is should be deleted, but if/when it is replaced by something decent (even a stub), there's no point even thinnking of deleting, which actually makes PROD a good place for it. The only question is: Is there anyone who will put something decent there? JPD (talk) 12:52, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete this version, which is probably a copyvio, without prejudice to a proper article being created. Stifle 01:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Well, it's not a copyvio, at least it says it's not; however, it's still just a blatant copy-and-paste job from what looks like a press release. Needs a complete rewrite in order to be kept. --TheKoG (talk|contribs) 21:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No, you misunderstood: I proposed it for deletion as non-notable. This doesn't mean the article must say it's non-notable. If the article is kept, it would be good if you could clean it up a little; compare PvP for a good webcomic article. Best, Sandstein 11:02, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep per excellent argument raised by Politepunk. I couldn't find the names of managers on the Mars Inc. website, though -- Samir (the scope) 08:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Dick Raper does appear to be CEO of Masterfoods [11] who imo are a notable company and are adjudged to be worthy of an article. I think that we should avoid making a judgement about this article on the basis of Mr Raper's name and try and make it on the basis of his notability for an article. I suspect that someone who is CEO of a company with a 14 billion USD turnover is of sufficient standing within the business world to merit an article. In view of the scatalogical and sexual nature of many of the episodes of vandalism that appear on Wikipedia it is perhaps natural that we should assume that the article is a hoax, but in this case it appears not to be the case. I agree that it does need to be expanded at some point, but I thought it was important that the consensus on this one should be challenged. Politepunk 08:38, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I think that Thatcher131's research has now shown that he probably isn't (atm) sufficiently notable to warrant an article and I'm happy to change my vote accordingly. Other than his name, there is unlikely to be a good deal of public interest in him and thus he doesn't satisfy WP:BIO. (Tangentially: a case could be made that the WP:BIO criteria should be slightly expanded to include notable businesspeople.) Despite amending my vote I'm pleased that we considered the merits of Mr Raper's inclsion on the basis of his notability rather than on the basis of his name. Politepunk 08:55, 18 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment I know we live in the internet age, but couldn't somebody (who is in the US) do something old fashioned like walk into a library and check this out? Or call whoever keeps corporate records in the USA? Mr Raper's name comes up top in a Google for "masterfoods ceo" but most results are old, I'd think the most likely answer is that he's former CEO. --kingboyk 09:45, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I have access to Bloomberg People Directory. Mr Raper is indeed the current CEO of Masterfoods, and has been for the last several years, and prior to that had a successful career. This page shows the problem of consensus being deemed more important than knowledge of the matter. Just because someone doesn't come up in Google, doesn't mean they are not notable. Raper is interviewed in national magazines on a near-monthly basis, it's just that they don't reproduce all their articles onto Google. CEO DR 14:47, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Uhh.. reproduce all thier articles onto Google? Google is a search engine. If Dick Raper's name was that important and he was featured monthly in articles, he would probably get more than 1 google hit. Besides, there isn't enough information on Dick Raper to produce more than there already is. The only external link we have on him is from 2001. I suggest recreating the page when you have more information on him. Moe ε 15:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • By "reproduce" I meant there being an online version of the paper edition, eg reproduced online. Whilst newspapers may archive everything online, the business magazines Raper is featured in are more exclusive, like IFR magazine which costs $100 a copy, so obviously they won't put content up for free online. CEO DR 16:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Relooked and he has 64 total as shown in a link above. But there still isn't enough information there to sustain an article. Moe ε 15:46, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • As I said above Moe, not everything is on the net. It's quite possible indeed that this guy is featured in who's who books and business magazines which are not archived on the net. It's very worrying if Wikipedia editors think no net presence = does not exist. One word: library. --kingboyk 05:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep per politepunk. However, this article is in serious need of expansion if anyone is going to take it seriously. The start of the article should use his proper name (I'm assuming Richard) as the article on Bill Gates (and many others) does. I think we need a good dose of WP:AGF on this one. --Cymsdale 15:51, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Thatcher131's comments below. I felt he barely deserved an article as a non-notable CEO. Now he's apparently a non-notable, mid-level executive. --Cymsdale 10:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. This guy appears to be notable only because of his name. It must be amusing to some to think "Hey, this guy really is named Dick Raper", but other than that, he's just another CEO. JIP | Talk 17:05, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - Verified true, perhaps remove the last line, and expand on the rest.
  • Delete in light of recent info. --Irishpunktom\^talk 17:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - A search of Google proves Politepunk's point. While it is true that there is not enough information, perhaps it should instead be merged with Masterfoods until more information (perhaps from Mr. Raper (heheheheheh- sorry) himself) can be garnered. Also, obviously, the last line must be taken out.--Ljlego 18:34, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - I was borderline to begin with, the only thing keeping me on was one article. However, I was thinking, and it doesn't seem correct to do so. Off with their heads!
• Partial verification Dick Raper was named European president of Masterfoods Europe in 2001, per Lexis/Nexis, after some time as president of Pedigree Masterfoods, Mars' pet food divison. Not the president of the entire Masterfoods/Mars empire. Thatcher131 20:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, though borderline case. Good name. ProhibitOnions 21:00, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

UPDATE For what its worth, Raper is no longer president of Masterfoods Europe. He seems to have been reassigned to the US office of Mars to be in charge of personnel as of Jan 1, 2004. Don't know if that makes a difference in notability. Thatcher131 02:08, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• • Further update per the Hoover business directory, CEO of Mars Inc. is John Franklyn Mars, current president is Paul S. Michaels. In fact, nobody but a Mars family member has ever been CEO of the entire company. Current president of Masterfoods Europe is Pierre Laubies and has been since 2004, president of Masterfoods USA is Robert Gambort. I don't question CEO DR (talk • contribs) good faith but his "Bloomberg people directory" is out of date to say the least. I guarantee that the business school library where I work has every $100 business magazine he can think of so if he wants to post specific citations I will be happy to verify them in the real (offline) world.Thatcher131 05:03, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was Delete and redirect per discussion here and previous AFD. If anybody wants a copy of the deleted text because they feel there's something to merge, just drop a request on my talk page. kingboyk 15:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Previously AfDd here, the consensus to redirect lasted nearly two weeks before someone subverted it by re-creating the article at a different location. Scores reasonably high on Google test, as you'd expect given the obsessive nature of online gamers, but orders of magnitude lower than Ragnarok Online, the merge target at last AfD. Contains unsupported assertions (whaere is the proof that it is "the most widely used Ragnarok Online server emulator known today"? And in what way is that proof of notability? Should I write an article for my work shoes on the basis that they are my most widely used pair of shoes?), but most of all I am just sick to death of the constant re-creation after deletion or redirect of articles on trivial subjects for which a 100% informative treatment can be found at the website which pops up at the top of the Google list. This is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not a directory of every concept peripherally related to online gaming. However, the thing may have gronw since the last AfD and I don't want a revert war ove re-establishing the redirect, so I bring it back here. Just zis Guy you know? 09:43, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete/Redirect. That is Delete and re-establish redirect. The difference in content between old and new articles are very similar, so the old AfD result should stand. It is very hard to assume good faith in that it was accidental or misguided, and not an attempt to get past the original AfD result.--Blue520 10:14, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many of the competitors on this show have managed careers after the series has ended. Josh Gracin, Bo Bice, Kimberley Locke, Carrie Underwood, Kelly Clarkson, Clay Aiken have all been on the charts and/or won major awards, and others (Tamyra Gray, George Huff, La Toya London, etc.) have released albums or had major roles on Broadway or film (Diana DeGarmo, Jennifer Hudson, Frenchie). If the article is going to be deleted on the criteria that the people on the show go on to failure, then I think this article should be kept. --JamesB3 07:46, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, unless the intent to delete pages on all other American Idol finalists. (AI is a real major music competition viz the 30+ million viewers who tune in to the program each week; no other competition comes close.) Is becoming a finalist the same as "won or placed" in a competition? I'd argue it is; the finalists, at least, have placed somewhere in the 1-12 area; some may turn out not to be notable, others likely will. Best to keep until we know for sure.

• Delete. Yes the person does compete on American Idol, but I wonder, do contestants from CBS's Survivor get their own pages?
• Keep. Every finalist in Idol is famous enough to have a page about them. The claim that this is "some non notable tv contestant" is absurd. It always pisses me off when I find information and notice someone wants to delete it. Lapinmies 07:27, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep He's a finalist on one of the most popular series in America (and unlike Survivor, there is a certain process where you go through semifinals, then the finals - the public votes for you to get to the finals), and many of the people who are finalists on this show go on to have a career in the entertainment industry, sometimes a very successful career, even if they don't win. I also don't think it's appropriate to propose this one article for deletion while not nominating any other American Idol season 5 finalists for deletion. If that means they are "notable", since they have not been nominated for deletion, then Yamin is just as notable. --JamesB3 07:39, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

From "Tsunami Aftermath: In Maldives, a Gap Widens", The Asian Wall Street Journal, 3 January 2005: "FATHIMATH SHAFEEGA was overseeing the Maldives' tiny stock exchange when she spotted an unusual dark swell rolling toward her office from the Indian Ocean. She halted trading and sent everybody home." There's another story or two about her at other dates. We can take it as confirmed, I think, that she's indeed in charge (and why not founder?) of the Maldive stock exchange. But its tiny. So the question is whether this notable enough?

If she really is the founder its notable enough. Else it isnt! --Oblivious 19:02, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep in this new AfD per Buckets. JoshuaZ 17:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep; how many articles about Maldives executives usually make it onto Google? I wonder how a one-person stock exchange works, though. ProhibitOnions 21:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Seems confirmed that at minimum she is in charge of the Maldivian stock exchange. She may be a big fish in a small pond, but that's what overcoming systemic bias is about. Astounded that my Firefox has a Thaana font installed. Smerdis of Tlön 15:58, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

trivia, relevent to one episode, The Problem With Popplers, and that article doesn't even mention it. It's only claim to fame seems to be that it is listed on the futurama template. RJFJR 15:42, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge with the episode, or with List of recurring characters from Futurama where we find Fishy Joe himself. Or keep. Kappa 15:55, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge as above, in keeping with other articles such as Recurring South Park characters. ProhibitOnions 21:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to the episode per Kappa and remove from template. -- Saberwyn 01:13, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The page is incoherent - while it now does seem to document an actual play, there is insufficient information available; the play, if it does exist, is hardly known of and does not warrant an individual page.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Paulus89 (talk • contribs)

• Delete. The content does not merit an article. --Wraith Daquell 04:54, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. I don't even think this is a real play, but even so there is not enough information available to make it its own article. (68.32.34.152 19:25, 12 March 2006 (UTC))[reply]

This entry is a crock. The person who listed this article is 68.32.34.152 (26 edits) who said "Delete, the page is incoherent etc". The first Delete is from Wraith Daquell (19 edits). The second Delete is by -- you guessed it -- the same 68.32.34.152 who nominated the article for deletion. Note that in his first comments above, he said it seemed "to document a real play", but in his vote he said he didn't "think it is a real play". I was unaware of this article until seeing it on this list, so I read it. It is stubby and needs editing. But it is genuine, and describes a prize winning play.

• • Comment I believe you are mistaken, Paulus89 was the one that nominated the article. If you have any evidence of it's award winning status, I am more than willing to change my vote. Eivind^Speak! 08:12, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Curiouser and curiouser. The entry of this article on this page was made by someone who didn't leave a signature. On reading the entry, I naturally went to check out the actual article (I don't vote here without reading the articles first!). I saw that the Afd had been placed on the article by User:68.32.34.152 and assumed it was he who put the article on AfD. So, apologies for mixing them up.
• Delete doesn't state notability. Eivind 07:13, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and clean up Eivind^Speak! 08:15, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, real play, sufficiently notable. If you don't find it notable enough, merge to Greg McGee, but I don't see a reason for outright deletion. Kusma (討論) 07:57, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, and give it a tag. Moriori 08:59, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete; merge into Greg McGee if desired. Fails to assert important things like its publication history, sales, major performances, awards in new play festivals; reading the article, you might conclude this play was made up in school one day. If evidence of notability surfaces before this AfD is over, consider this vote changed to keep. Otherwise, the original author (who should be aware the deletion process is not a vote) may consider rewriting the article once the film mentioned is playing in cinemas. -ikkyu2 (talk) 20:50, 12 March 2006 (UTC) After reviewing Greg McGee, I suggest just merging this content into that article. -ikkyu2 (talk) 20:52, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep but needs substantial clean-up. One of New Zealand's most famous and controversial plays. Will tag and attempt. Grutness...wha? 00:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep since our Kiwi readers can vouch for this. ProhibitOnions 12:14, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Gamertag does not require its own entry. It fits fine at Xbox Live and a whole article is just an output for gamertag websites to advertise themselves on Wikipedia. Msc44 22:49, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
