[edit] 385, ski run road, Blooningburg, N.Y. 12721

"Biography" of a non-notable residential/family home. Not encyclopedic. ERcheck 21:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete: If it were a person, not a home described, it would qualify for speedy delete as a non-notable bio of a real person. ERcheck 21:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alex Falconer

Unverifiable, probably hoax (first paragraph of article more or less says so), no trace of claimed albums. Dalbury^(Talk) 03:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete: The article itself says the teens "have decided to give themselves interesting back stories to add to the mystique of the project" which indicates that it is a fabrication. Hu 03:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment The hoax paragraph at the top was added by 12.77.118.135, who also added it to Sam Lazerwitz, so you may want to take a look at that, too. -- Saikiri~ 03:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

- - Comment However, I did try to check out the albums 'Falconer' supposedly recorded, and got no hits at all. Still smells like a hoax to me, independent of that first paragraph. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 04:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    - What I meant was the Sam Lazerwitz article is probably a hoax of this flavor as well. Well, I'll go AfD it now. -- Saikiri~ 05:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete as silly vandalism. This man was born in 1976 supposedly became Elvis' successor then went into hiding for 28 years. That would mean that he was 2 when his recording career was at its peak. Capitalistroadster 04:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Hoax. -- Saikiri~ 05:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
No relevant google hits. Pound with asteroids --YixilTesiphon 15:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete obvious hoax. Alex Falconer should refer to the former Member of the European Parliament. David | Talk 19:45, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, but not speedy: Because it admits that it's fiction, it's not vandalism. However, original fiction is disallowed from Wikipedia, including fan fiction and self-fan fiction. Geogre 20:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete; fictional biographies are not suitable for Wikipedia. If the project of which it is a part is (or becomes) notable, some of the info here might be suitable for an article on that. *Dan T.* 16:54, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] American Patriot Party

Although Google hits are substantial, the results are muddled by entities other than this "party" founded in 2003. A search of 600+ American newspaper archives from 2003 to present shows 3 results. 2 are in passing reference as part of a list of third parties. 1 cites the website for historical info on the revolutionary war. There is no evidence of campaigning or any political activities. Probably 1 man and a P.O. box. delete

Comment That is your offhand opinion. "Probably"? You are speculating. --Fahrenheit451 02:23, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

The "2006 candidates" section contains 1 person, which they endorse: Independent candidate Brian Lee Merrill from 1st District, SC who is running for Congress. The state party section indicates that a state chapter has only been formed so far, in Florida. But apparently more are forming at the moment. The national committee reportedly consists of three people. Punkmorten 19:12, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment The Florida party isn't functioning very well, according to [1]. There is a website for the Oregon Patriot Party [2]. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 18:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

CommentYou are acting on the opinion of one person who runs a so-called "third party" website as truth?--Fahrenheit451 02:20, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete as non-notable. Jtmichcock 02:42, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep; of marginal notability, but I prefer to err in the direction of inclusionism. *Dan T.* 18:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete So this one has enough to close with a consensus, definately not notable, unless starting a political party consisting of single digit membership is worthwhile, in which case I say we here start the "American Patriot Party AfD Voters Party", and our main platform can be that everyone should vote to keep or delete this article. karmafist 19:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete Looks pretty insubstantial so far. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 18:14, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anarchist Soccer

I'm not sure this QUITE meets the standards of notability. It's also partially a copy violation, and a duplicate of Anarchist soccer. Tom Lillis 00:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete not notable, and borderline cruftish.Gateman1997 00:41, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete local membership levels, unless I'm corrected by, look pretty low. I might be convinced otherwise if hefty national figures can be quoted. Alf ^melmac 00:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Modify not sure what cruftish means. definitely a duplicate, so one copy at least needs to be deleted. local membership levels and how widely spread hard to confirm due to organisational structure of anarchist organisations. however a.s. also features in many U.S. national protests (g8, wto, IMF etc) and is undoubtably derived from the well established (and also anarchist) anti-racist world cup - http://www.mondialiantirazzisti.org (see faq) held every year in italy since 1995 or 1996. This seems notable, so perhaps article should be modified to incorporate that more. please point out copyright violations. Limes 19:23 2 December 2005
- This users has only edited this page. Voice of All^T|@|ESP 05:34, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Sorry, but I don't understand what mondialiantirazzisti has to do with anarchist soccer. Can you point ot a reference that makes the connection? -- Dalbury^(Talk) 18:21, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: I've redirected Anarchist soccer to Anarchist Soccer, since they were the same and created by the same IP. Chick Bowen 01:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete and start over if notable. --YixilTesiphon 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, seems original research, and unencyclopedic. I'm holding out for anarchist (gridiron) football — with firearms! Smerdis of Tlön 05:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Yikes, you're right...Delete--MONGO 16:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete I originally posted it. i'm going to try to rewrite it in a more encyclopedic manner and incorporate more background/establishing info and tie in the a-r world cup info. apologies for posting a very unfinished entry Limes 16:03 3 December 2005*
Weak keep; there does seem to be an actual movement of this name, of marginal notability now, but the bar should be pretty low given that this is not a paper encyclopedia. If the author intends to rewrite it (and it does need extensive rewriting as it now stands), he shouldn't call for its deletion, since deletionists around here will then insist on speedy-delete of any future versions attempted to be posted under this name, as they regard an AfD outcome as meaning that the topic is banned here until the end of time. *Dan T.* 18:59, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- How nice of you to speak on behalf of all deletionists everywhere. Maybe next time you could try for a little less POV. D e nni ☯ 21:41, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Modify: apologies again, i'm new to this, but i'm going to do a speedy rewrite, in a more encyclopedic manner and incorporating more historical and supplementary information. Limes 02:49, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B4632 road

This is a British backroad between Cheltenham and Stratford-upon-Avon. Google Maps shows it as the grey route between the two towns. In British terminology B roads are collector routes that do not carry much traffic. This particular one may have some nice scenery but is altogether unimportant for infrastructure.

Delete this per the consensus at Wikipedia:Consensus/B_roads_in_the_United_Kingdom. Pilatus 15:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] B500 road

As this link shows, Charterhouse Street (designated B500 road) is a short stretch of road in London. It has no historic significance, it doesn't have an industry named after it (think Broadway) or is famous for anything else (as Tottenham Court Road is). It just exists.

Non-British Wikipedians might wish to consult the article on B roads to gauge the claim that this is amongst the shortest so designated roads in the country – there is no national register for B-roads, they are collector routes, and the number is merely for bookkeeping.

[edit] Circumcision advocacy

This article is original research. It defines an activity in a novel way that has little or no mention in reliable sources, then interprets multiple persons and activities in terms of this definition. Jakew 10:19, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. For the reasons above, the whole article looks like a violation of WP:NOR by being a "novel synthesis" of facts put together to advance a particular position, which is explicity disallowed by the policy. Any useful information in it can be moved to one of the other articles about circumcision. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 10:57, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Merge to History of male circumcision. I understand "original synthesis" to mean citing authors in support of something they did not say. This article doesn't do that.

- Comment the original research lies in the interpretation of the cited source, Zordrac. Silly example: suppose I wanted to write an article about glowing angels in the sky. I could cite many documented examples of stargazing ('angel viewing') and identification of new stars ('angels'). It's still original research in spite of the sources, because of the novel interpretation. Jakew 12:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Well, this particular term is in widespread use, so its not original research. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 15:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Perhaps you know better than I, Zordrac. Could you please point me to a definition of the term or an identification of the 'advocates' discussed in the article? I've been unable to find anything in any reliable sources. So Dan Blackham has found a passing mention of a different term - circumcision evangelism - in a J Med Ethics article, but that's all. Jakew 13:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Jakew, Can you point out where this article is misrepresenting sources? Gazpacho 05:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
    - I'm not suggesting that it does, Gazpacho (though I personally disagree with some interpretation). The problem is one of verifiability. How can one verify that circumcision advocacy is how the article describes it, and how can one verify that these persons are advocates? If nobody has made such an interpretation previously, it must be the opinion of the Wikipedia editor(s) -- clearly a novel view, and thus original research. Jakew 13:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Some concepts do not let themselves be knocked into an article with the best will in the world, especially with a paucity of hard sources and a lot of strong opinions. JFW | T@lk 10:32, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- The content dispute was/is actually over another issue (whether an obscure indirect source for materials distributed by one person should be explicitly specified). Jakew 10:53, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Contrary to what Jake alleged above, the dispute was whether the article should give an accurate attribution of where a doctor obtained his information. Dr Jesin's webpage [7] is a copy of a Circlist webpage [8]. I felt it was essential that this was acknowledged. Jake, a member of Circlist, was determined to remove this evidence. When it appeared that this was faltering he changed ground and began arguing that the article was original research. Michael Glass 11:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  - It is a pity that you assume bad faith in your interpretation of events, Michael. Nevertheless, it is good that we agree that the issues are distinct. Jakew 11:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    - I am sorry that Jake has taken my summary of the dispute personally. I respect his right to his views and his right to advocate them. However, in this case there is a clear conflict of interest in being a member of Circlist and making every effort to remove information about this organisation from an article, even when he admitted that this information was correct.

Keep If deleted someone would just restart the page. This article does not fit will in any other article because it is too large (this article split out of circumcision because it no longer fit there) so merging really does not work; besides, merging will not solve the real problem, which is contentdispute.

Delete, NOR. --nixie 10:34, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment A Google search with "circumcision advocacy" in double quotes yielded 127 hits. One was used in an article in the Journal of Medical Ethics [9]. One article using this term was republished in Jake Waskett's own website [10]. Another group using a very similar term is Advocating Circumcision Today a Jewish group [11]. Usage of the term seemed divided between references to circumcision advocacy and anti-circumcision advocacy. Therefore as other commentators have said, it is a common enough term. As for the claim that no-one addressed the question of original research, this is just not true. Gazpacho, Zordrac and Squiddy all specifically argued against the notion that this article is original research. If there is something in the words circumcision advocacy that raise concerns, then a term should be sought that people feel more comfortable with. Michael Glass 11:30, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  - These three uses merely use the term in passing. They do not define it, nor do they identify any advocates. These latter are introduced by the article. The remainder of these hits are activist sites, not reliable sources, and as you note, frequently refer to anti-circumcision advocacy. As for an alternative term, fine - let's use whatever someone else has already used! Jakew 11:58, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
    - The fact that people use the term in passing and without defining it is evidence that they are using natural English and not a technical term that needs to be defined. The fact that the same language is used in activist sites is further evidence that it is part of the vocabulary of these groups, something that I would have no problem in noting in the article. However, this usage is not restricted to these groups. One example is in Rachel Gathercole's article on the Medicaid funding of circumcisions. She wrote: "Some circumcision advocates still contend that the surgery results in slightly fewer infant urinary tract infections, a possible decrease in incidence of sexually transmitted diseases, and the prevention of penile cancer." [12] The term circumcision advocate is used quite naturally here in a newspape article. A Google search of circumcision advocate yielded about 1260 hits, and this is further evidence that the term is natural English and not some tecchnical term that has to be defined.Michael Glass 11:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
      - You said above that it yielded 127 hits. Now you're claiming ten times that number. Surely there must be a mistake? Anyway, there is a problem here in that you're saying that the term doesn't need to be defined yet the article defines it. How do you propose to remedy this? Jakew 12:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        127 hits for circumcision advocacy; 1260 hits for circumcision advocate. Ask Google a different question and you get a different answer. I am glad that you are now talking about improving the article. One way to improve it is to use a dictionary definition of advocacy . Michael Glass 20:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Addressing the NOR question: it does not appear to me that searching for the specific term "circumcision advocacy" is enough to deny the existence of a large group of people who advocate for circumcision. Circumcision, oddly enough, is one of the most heated and contentious subjects on the internet. I always avoid these arguments because I frankly don't care one way or the other. However, I think that most people here know that there are pro- and anti-circumcisionists. Whatever name is chosen, the collection of information characterizing the views of each side only makes sense. And, honestly, it could be done much worse than this well-references, well-balanced article. InvictaHOG 13:11, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment I have noted that those arguing for keeping the article have argued the case at some length. On the other hand, nearly all those who spoke for deletion simply dismissed the article in one line, citing original research. I find it curious that the debate is so polarised. I see the article as fitting the description of "source-based research" as defined below:

Original research that creates primary sources is not allowed. However, research that consists of collecting and organizing information from existing primary and/or secondary sources is strongly encouraged. In fact, all articles on Wikipedia should be based on information collected from primary and secondary sources. This is not "original research," it is "source-based research," and it is fundamental to writing an encyclopedia WP:NOR.

Michael Glass 11:55, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

So where are the sources defining circumcision advocacy or identifying circumcision advocates? Jakew 12:47, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Use a dictionary definition of advocacy and apply this definition to tthe examples of those who have advocated circumcision. This would be source-based research, and is strongly encouraged, according to the policy. If we don't recognise the right and indeed the duty of us to collect and organise information, Wikipedia will be like the position of ijtihad in classical Islamic scholarship, when progress in learning was stifled by defining it as illegitimate. Michael Glass 20:09, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

You mean using the dictionary definition of one word and interpreting the activities of individuals accordingly? That's the very definition of original research. Jakew 21:51, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

Do you mean that using a dictionary is to be defined as original research? Is that the straitjacket in which you want to bind those who disagree with you? Please follow this link: ijtihad Michael Glass 10:29, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, Michael, it's a slippery slope. If it's okay to use dictionary definitions to create an article, what is to prevent anyone from creating anti-broccoli advocacy, as discussed on the talk page? The answer is nothing. It opens the door to any article coming into existence, just because the central term is an accurate use of language. That's original research, it's junk, and it devalues the rest of Wikipedia. Jakew 13:05, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Jake, please note the civil tone that Slrubenstein uses. I do not see the subversiveness in using a dictiionary. I do not see that sourced-based research can be deemed to violate the "no original research" policy, or that it is a slippery slope. Please read ijtihad for an example of what can happen when a society deems certain approaches off-limits. Michael Glass 19:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I'm sorry if you felt my comments were uncivil, Michael, though I can't see how. I would agree - source-based research is not original by definition. But this article is not source-based. The central theme of the article is that there is such a thing as circumcision advocacy, that is consists of "social and political activity to promote it and ensure access and funding for circumcision" (though the introduction is better now, that's still implied), and that the various individuals listed in the article are advocating circumcision. All of these must be sourced in order to be verifiable. Sure, certain facts are sourced, but the interpretation of them as circumcision advocacy is not. This is the problem.

Imagine, if you will, a hypothetical book. Let's call it Bloggs' Circumcision advocacy through the ages. In it, Bloggs discusses advocacy at length, noting Morris, Schoen, and so on. Now when we cite Bloggs, it's a true source, because there is no interpretation. The reader can check Bloggs and readily see that these people are indeed identified as circumcision advocates. As it is, he's just got Wikipedia's word for it. Jakew 21:21, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Please say what your NPOV concerns are. Michael Glass 12:26, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I am troubled by the very nature of an article on "advocacy;" I think the topic itself is a POV. I know that people who have contributed to the article have tried very hard to conform to our NPOV policies, I am not accusing anyone of deliberate policy violation. But all the things that are good about the article, that address multiple points of view and place them within a larger NPOV context — in short, material I think has value — goes so far beyond the specific topic of advocacy, that I think it should all just go in one article on "circumcision." Slrubenstein | Talk 16:55, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for your comment. I feel that advocacy can be discussed, just as any other topic can be discussed. If we say that certain topics or even certain approaches are off-limits, this raises concerns about what is being said and what is left unsaid and why. For instance, if some things are left unsaid, whose interests does this serve and whose interests are discounted? Michael Glass 19:56, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

I agree with your general point; if we disagree it is in its application. I think any NPOV discussion of circumcision advocacy is best placed within the circumcision article, which provides a larger context for the issue. Slrubenstein | Talk 20:55, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Conflicting theories

For a start, this article is currently a mess, full of POV and factual errors, and would have to be completely rewritten no matter what. But more importantly, I don't think this is an encyclopedic topic and I'm not sure what could be said about it that isn't covered in articles such as scientific consensus, scientific method, falsifiability, or theories and sociology of the history of science. I don't think this article has a future, even in the best of all possible worlds. --Fastfission 02:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Issue is complicated by article's edit history... some previous work has been deleted. Anyway, this work is too good to just throw away. It's not great work, but its hella better than a lot that I've seen. I think the editrs bit off a bit more than she can chew -- it's a very complicated and fraught subject -- but I would not like to discourage her. Herostratus 07:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Again, I'm not sure this has anything that isn't found in other articles, and much of what it does have is either wrong or much more problematic than it currently is made out to be (i.e. the simplistic accounts of the Copernican revolution, Lysenkoism, and Michelson-Morley). --Fastfission 17:14, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete With Extreme Prejudice. Site does not even exist yet for chrissakes. I mean there's a page but it says under construction. As a bonus, author on his blog has posts like this (re "protesters": "Well you suck dick. You retarded hippys have no other life other than to piss the rest of us useful people off." Gee that's a contribution to the sum total of human knowledge. Herostratus 04:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The site does exist, both blogs are there, the fact the site needs work isn't a fact anyone is trying to hide, both the author of the wikipedia article and "Rise and Fall" admit that they're still working on the site. I agree with you in that some of the stuff "Rise and Fall" have written is kind of rude, but as I said earlier, George Ouzounian has said some pretty offensive things in his blog thing too, but he's still notable. These guys have a website that gets some readers, I don't know why we would get rid of the article. 10:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

Maddox is an internet celebrity, and The Best Page in the Universe is an extremely famous website. "Conviction 365" is not an extremely famous website, and "Rise and Fall" are not internet celebrities. Therefore we keep the one and not the other, for the same reason that we keep George W. Bush but not Mrs Eleanor Thrunge of Battersea. — Haeleth Talk 22:48, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

*Notice. All of the above comments with date stamp but no username are by User 69.254.230.101, also the author of the article in question. User 69.254.230.101 has voted at least twice in violation of policy. Let's put this one out its misery, shall we? Herostratus 04:58, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I voted once and wrote the last comment. I want to preserve my work, that's all. Since, evidentally, you're looking up IPs anyway, why don't you look up the one for this "*Keep It's a decent article, keep it 09:36, 2 December 2005 (UTC)" That wasn't me and there's no username on it either, I've voted once, according to policy. If you're going to accuse me, it helps if I've done what you accuse me of.

You may be correct. You have 12 edits her so far and I can't be bothered to sort out all of them. However, I note that you wrote "I read through it and I think it's a decent article." A bit disengenuos since you are the author of the article.Herostratus 05:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, sorry if that's been confusing, I've only voted once, just trying to perserve my work. I edited my vote to make it more clear. I didn't think I'd made that many edits, most were just to fix a typo or something. 11:16, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

  - All of them. The first merely tells us that someone with a pseudonym claims to have played something called "darkwars" and tells us nothing about either. The second is a web directory listing on a self-submission web site (that is even called a "games directory"). The third is a banner advertisement collection that doesn't even mention Darkwars at all. And the fourth is an anonymous web discussion forum posting, a classic example of what is not a reliable source, that tells us to "ask mickey he shud be in first page of world ranks and he wil teach you how to play it". Please familiarize yourself with the concept of reliable sources. This is not the first time that you've cited anonymous discussion forum posts as purported sources.

I checked. http://www.tucows.com/, http://www.download.com/, http://www.shareware.com/ and http://www.cnet.com/, all of whom you would expect to have a review about it if its claims to notoriety were true. They all came up completely empty. And, whilst there are reviews for "Dark Wars" that is in fact referring to something to do with Star wars and is irrelevant. It seems that the web site in question is guilty of link spam. Nonetheless, I don't think that abuse such as that from Uncle G is really required. No, you shouldn't be writing to me 4 times pushing your point of view across. It's not something that you "have" to do either.

[edit] Dates of classical music eras

Basically a talk-page discussion made into an article. Undoubtedly this topic is legitimately part of European classical music but doesn't need a separate article. —Wahoofive (talk) 18:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Background: this article was created as part of a revert war over the starting and ending dates in Renaissance music and Baroque music. But not only is this article useless in general, it doesn't solve the revert war problem. —Wahoofive (talk) 18:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete per Wahoofive. --worthawholebean _talk^contribs 20:03, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. What else are we to do with this information? Any general-interest reference that discusses classical music contains this information -- it is not mere talk page content. It is not suitable for a template. It should not be duplicated in each of the era-specific articles. There is a need to link to it from each of the era-specific articles. And while it could be merged into European classical music and linked as a subhead, that article is already lengthy and such an exposition is unlikely to survive there. I would like to note that I have not participated in the aforementioned edit war, but rather I stumbled upon it because I've been watching the affected page for link spam.

Delete - I tried to give him a reason to be, but its just too difficult. Born 1986, what could he have achieved? He's all of 19. Published author? But he's in university. Good on him getting a scholarship - these are hard to get. But he should be careful with the kinds of writing he is making, especially in light of the current attitude about terrorism.

Keep! - I was quite amused when I stumbled across this entry. Being a student of USYD myself, it was interesting to see a wikipedia article on this, shall I say, infamous character and I think I would be one of the better suited people here to comment on the topic. David Perkis caused a lot of controversy with some of his writings and more importantly his reaction to critics & most people on this campus and others in Sydney would actually know who he was if you asked them. That is certainly a notable achievement in my books! I may not agree with his views but the fact that one person could become so well known throughout the university deserves an entry here IMO. If you look at the google australia website you'll see he is mentioned on quite a number of veritable sites (govt, political and educational). I heard that the university actually retracted his articles from their online publication after some of the events covered in his wiki-biography. Anyway, he has become somewhat of an infamous character here in Sydney and I'm sure most people who have heard of him in Sydney would agree that this is a definite keep! Kevin_Grady

Weak Keep. It seems to be a well-written, reasonably balanced article about somebody who has at least some local notability, according to the last writer here. That's probably still a bit short of normal notability standards, but I hate to see an article of reasonable quality just deleted... it doesn't seem to be the usual vanity junk. *Dan T.* 02:03, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - As the writer of the entry in question, I thought it would contribute to the debate if I presented the relevant information regarding the article's notability. Apologies in advance for the lengh of my post, but I feel that it is necessary in order to explain the notability of the individual written about and as to why it should remain on the site. I actually met David Perkis at a writing seminar held at the University of Sydney campus at the beginning of this year. Needless to say I become reasonably well acquainted with Mr. Perkis because he was certainly an intriguing character - he was definitely intelligent, but more noticeable was his outspoken nature. He openly stated his views to all people he encountered (even those who did not ask about them), and was not afraid to share his beliefs. What was also interesting was the fact that, in spite of his young age, he had already attracted people who I could only classify as serious followers of his unique convictions. I had the chance to get to know Mr. Perkis reasonably well over the period of a month and a half or so and during that time he showed some of his works to me. And it was quite evident that it wasn't just a matter of vanity - he actually seemed to firmly believe that his political views were pivotal for others to consider for the "benefit of society", as he put it.

Anyway, as I attend UNSW, I lost contact with him afterwards and not subscribing to his set of beliefs, I didn't seek him out any further. Then, about two or three months later, I started hearing about him from all different directions. A large amount of people on the UNSW campus were talking about him on a pretty grand scale, in spite of the fact that he attended USYD (an institution with which UNSW has what would best be described as a heated academic rivalry). Friends of mine, who did not know that I had ever met Mr. Perkis, had asked me if I heard about "that David Perkis guy", based on the controversy he was stirring up. Apart from his writings and the actions I wrote about in the wiki-entry, he had gotten into arguments with several high-level lecturers and actually developed quite a firm following at his university campus (not to mention sympathisers at UNSW). To put this into perspective, USYD has close to 50,000 attendees and UNSW has about 40,000. I have spoken to many people about Mr. Perkis following the events which took place, and it would not be excessive to estimate that an amount of people equal to at least 10% of attendees from both campuses have heard about him and his exploits, and a far higher percentage in the humanities and politics-related faculties relevant to his activities. That in itself would constitute in excess of 10,000 people who would have come to know about Mr. Perkis to a large extent in the past year or so (including those who attend other universities in the area and have heard about him). I completely agree with the USYD poster on this discussion when he said that Mr. Perkis attracted quite a lot of attention from his works, but it was largely a result of his actions that gained him his notoriety.

I took it upon myself to research more information about Mr. Perkis and write what I see as a well-presented and accurate wikipedia entry, due to the fact that some topics relating to Australian academia have been largely neglected on this website. With such a large volume of people having heard about a single person based on his beliefs and actions would alone constitute an entry into wikipedia, and so I definitely think that the David Perkis article merits a "keep" on the website. I hope my explanation above has convinced others that this is true. Cornelius S 06:00, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

It's not a matter of whether we believe you or not. We still need some independant and verifiable evidence of notablity. Where did this controversy happen? Where was it reported? Regards, Ben Aveling
I never claimed it was about whether you "believed" me or not. I simply wrote my side of the story to display more information regarding the notability of the person in question. I only joined a few days ago.. so what? I've been busy with university all year and haven't had the time to do any entries up until now. The fact that I've managed to construct what I see as two good quality entries in a few days is quite a good achievement in my books and shows the amount of entries I intend (or intended) to add to this site - not everyone has a multitude of free time on their hands to write entries all year. I thought that if I started writing now during my holidays that I would gradually be able to build up my level of work because it does take time to research and write wikipedia entries. I thought that the fact that Perkis is mentioned on sources such as an official Australian government website, a leading member of Australian parliament's website, the university itself's website, the old and highly notable school he attended's website and various other official state educational institution sites (not to mention the online version of Perkis's work that I could find in the short space of 2 days) would provde "independant and verifiable evidence of notablity", as you put it. Obviously not it seems and so I am attempting to find more sources... University controversies aren't generally published on the internet. Do you really think the USYD would want that type of publicity?

The fact that you would also describe a Mathematics PhD. who has had his postdoctoral work published in at least 3 different countries in numerous advanced mathematics and physics journals thus far as "a not clearly notable school teacher" speaks volumes to your ability for discernment, in my opinion. Also, what are you implying by posting the other user's IP address and his date of registration? I emailed my peers the links to the entries I made and asked them for their comments and to pass them onto anyone who knows of these two people as there would surely be a large amount of those in study circles that would. The fact that you are clearly implying something more nefarious again is extremely insulting - perhaps you should consider reading about not biting the newcomersand to assuming good faith before you bash a newbie who was just trying to add what he saw as relvant additional entries to wikipedia, and accuse him of all sorts of things. It's disheartening to see the level of attacks you have written and implied in your last posts for something which I thought would be trivial at best. If I had known that I would be personally attacked like you have done then I clearly wouldn't have bothered putting in the hours of work necessary to construct wikipedia entries in the first place.Cornelius S

[edit] DES (disambiguation)

DES probably used to redirect to Data Encryption Standard, but someone who thought Diethylstilbestrol was more important decided that DES should redirect to DES (disambiguation). Well, what's the point in having DES (disambiguation) then? Why not just use DES as the disambiguation page? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 221.163.173.185 (talk • contribs) 00:47, December 3, 2005.

This afd nomination was orphaned. Listing now. —Crypticbot (operator) 15:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
It's a perfectly fine disambiguation article. This nomination is the result of a slow burning revert war at DES with Matt Crypto on one side, who asserts that this should be a primary topic disambiguation with Data Encryption Standard as the primary topic, and several editors on the other side who believe that this should be an equal weight disambiguation, since when they came to look up DES they were looking for the drug. It has been discussed, but not resolved, on Talk:DES. Furthermore, the choice between the two forms of disambiguation is a simple matter of whether DES redirects to Data Encryption Standard or to DES (disambiguation). Deletion is not involved at any stage, and AFD is not the place for deciding this. Please learn how to use WP:RFC. I am strongly tempted to close this discussion, and take measures to encourage both sides to resume the discussion on Talk:DES that they have abandoned. Keep. Uncle G 16:00, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and Redirect DES to this page. I also Endorse User:Uncle G's suggestion about closing the AfD and moving the discussion to the talk page. This did not go under ANY discussion at all. The disambig is appropriate. Don't assume that just because you wouldn't search for the drug, that everyone else wouldn't either. "Data Encryption Standard" and "Diethylstilbestrol" get about equal hits on google. It's an acronym commonly used to describe both things, and to arbitrarily assign importance of one over the other is probably not NPOV. Peyna 16:09, 3 December 2005 (UTC).
- I've went ahead and added a comment to Talk:DES and left notes on all related pages for people to refer to that discussion in the event that this AfD is eventually closed due to irrelevance. Peyna 16:19, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I concur with User:24.17.48.241's statement below. Peyna 19:13, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Move or re-submit to Wikipedia:Requested moves--no reason to waste time and resources passing primary disambiguation thru a redirect. DES should either be the disambiguation content (or the "Data Encryption Standard" or "Diethylstilbestrol" content, although neither seems deserving of primary disambiguation, IMHO), but it shouldn't be a redirect to either. 24.17.48.241 18:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- First: Wikipedia:Requested moves involves deletion, too. Deletion is not a part of solving this problem. Second: Neither of those two articles should ever be at DES, per our Wikipedia:Naming conventions (acronyms). Third: DES redirecting to DES (disambiguation) is an equal-weight disambiguation, not a primary topic one. Fourth: Redirecting the undisambiguated title to the "X (disambiguation)" article is a common means of setting up an equal weight disambiguation, and doesn't "waste time and resources". Redirects are cheap, remember. Uncle G 06:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Update. I have changed every wikilink to DES to refer to whatever article it actually meant to refer to (most of which were for Data Encryption Standard, but I did come across a few others (I also didn't change anything on talk pages).

If someone would be willing to double-check and make sure I have everything pointing the right direction, it would be appreciated. Peyna 23:52, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

My opinion remains unchanged. There is no reason to delete this article, and deletion is not involved in solving the problem. Uncle G 06:12, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Dramatic Phrase: The Firstname Surname Story

Funny as I found this, it's just a list of external links and WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files. I fail to see how this article could ever reach a length that couldn't covered in the TV movie article Maccoinnich 01:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Edison Eagles

An article (if you can call it that; it's just stats) about a U.S. high school football team.

The result of the debate was no consensus; redirected to U.S. presidential election, 1828. Johnleemk | Talk 10:34, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Election of 1828

The title of the article is U.S.-centric. The article describes the Presidential election of the United States in 1828. As I suspect most editors will agree, there were many elections in 1828, and not all of them took place in the U.S. Thus, to have a single article titled "Election of 1828", and to have it speak of the U.S. Presidential Election of 1828 as though it were the election of 1828, is disrepectful to our international brethren and sistren. Aside from which, the contents of Election of 1828 largely duplicate the contents of U.S. presidential election, 1828. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 16:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment ∾ It seems that there are several of these "Election of $YEAR" articles, some of which have been redirected to "U.S. presidential election, $YEAR". I find these redirects to suffer from the same U.S.-centric problems as the articles themselves. So, at the suggestion of Kelly Martin, I'm going to track these rascals down and make disambiguation pages out of them, starting with the page which prompted this AfD in the first place. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 16:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguate. If there were other notable elections in 1828 (and I'm sure there were, I just don't know if we have articles on them) then make Election of 1828 into a disambig page describing and linking these elections. Firebug 16:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment Does it make sense to create a disambiguation page if there is only a single relevant article? This is not a relevant article since it's about an election which already has an article, so I would say Delete. Kreydon 16:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I am indeed having difficulty finding comparable articles about other elections in the stated year, and begin to lean more towards your view. There's no point in creating a disambiguation page if there is no ambiguity to disambiguate. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 16:50, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment ∾ As a further comment, I have found similar pages at Election of 1796, Election of 1824, Election of 1860, and Election of 1948. Of those pages, only Election of 1796 required minor disambiguation. The other pages have no ambiguity to disambiguate as far as I can discover, and are currently serving as redirects to U.S. presidential election, 1824, U.S. presidential election, 1860, and U.S. presidential election, 1948, respectively. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 17:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambig. There should at least be multiple American elections in any given year (presidential, congressional, gubernatorial) even if there were no votes held elsewhere in the world. - SimonP 18:16, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Can't that go into US election of $BODY in $YEAR? This is en.wikipedia, not wikipedia.us! 82.26.160.214 18:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. In its present form the article can't be kept because this is English-language Wikipedia, not US wikipedia and there is a better duplicate in the proper place. People would search for, say, 1828 US Presidential Election or 1828 British Parliamentary Election. Election of 1828 is a particuliarly clumsy page title. Election of what? Iff another election of a head of government or parliament took place in 1828 it can always be turned into a disambiguation page. ~~82.26.160.214~~ Pilatus 18:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
If we have articles on other elections held in that year, it should be moved to Elections of 1828 and used as a disambiguation. If not, it should redirect to the U.S. presidential election, 1828 article until such time as we do have articles. Capitalistroadster 19:43, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Comparing the two articles, the non-nominated article is far more advanced. The nominated article should be deleted, but without a redirect due to the US-centric concerns above. Then rename the balce of the articles using the U.S. presidential election, 1824 format. Jtmichcock 20:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguate on the condition that there were other elections in 1828. List of state leaders in 1828 certainly demonstrates that there were other republics in that year and thus other elections may or may not have happened. --YixilTesiphon Say hello 21:17, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Disambiguate if there's something to disambiguate between, otherwise delete. Redirecting a general election article to a US presidential one is POV. Redirects should point to what users are looking for and you can't assume the election they're looking for is the US presidential one. - Mgm|^(talk) 23:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. If there's any new info that isn't already there, it can be added to U.S. presidential election, 1828 where it belongs. *Dan T.* 06:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Definitely not a keep. Possible to disambiguate, redirect, or merge. My preference is to merge. Stifle 14:57, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: there is in fact such a field as English for Special Purposes, or, more common recently, English for Specific Purposes (Google: [28], and see here: [29]). It's a legitimate academic field, with degree programs and peer-reviewed journals and the whole thing. It's not a "personal variation on ESL", nor is it the same as EAL, but it is related. That said, this article is worthless. It would be good to have an article on ESP, but this is not it. rodii 00:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable, and/or unverifiable. Article makes no claims of meeting WP:CORP.

Searching for just Gandlake still only gets 84 displayed hits[32]. "Gandlake Computer Services" aka "Gandlake Ltd" seems the most likely candidate to be what the editor meant, but unfortunately the microstub article contains so little info there's no way to be certain.

Keep or merge into Light crude oil; it seems like the articles could benefit from being able to compare the two terms without having gobs of redundancy. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-03 06:14:52Z
It's an encyclopaedia article about heavy crude oil, not a dictionary article about the phrase "heavy crude oil". The latter wouldn't satisfy the Wiktionary inclusion criteria anyway, because it is not idiomatic. It is a simple combination of heavy and crude oil. Uncle G 06:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Seems pretty idomatic to me, who would guess that "heavy" in this phrase means "does not flow easily". Kappa 02:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] How to know if someone is lying

An original research essay is not what Wikipedia is for. This is, or should be, covered at Lie and this article serves no use as a redirect as it is unlilely someone would search for this title. Harro5 02:49, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Would keep, but seems to be unsalvageable (is that a word?). At any rate (if it can not be merged/cleaned up or whatever - even though it sounds interesting) I say delete εγκυκλοπαίδεια* (talk) 02:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: "unsalvageable" is a word. I used it myself to advocate a deletion just minutes before I saw your use of it here. However, if sources are referenced, I think it would be salvageable. Hu 03:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Joey Hawkins

If you're here because of a request from an external website:

Please understand that this is not a vote; it is a discussion. Multiple comments by very new users that fail to provide evidence are highly likely to be discounted by the closing administrator. Many Wikipedians have been known to react unfavorably to attempts to alter the course of a nomination in this manner, and may in fact recommend to delete based upon it. If you wish to prevent this article from being deleted, the way to do so is to provide verifiable evidence.

""Keep"". This guy is widely known in the mid-south. He is famous in high school footballLenwood 07:22, 4 December 2005 (UTC) Delete. I'm not entirely sure this is even remotely notable. He's been nominated for some obscure "Coach of the Year" award and hasn't even won it yet, which still wouldn't make him notable. See the page for yourself. JHMM13 08:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Again, speedy delete non-notable. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
Delete slowly. High school football coach albeit one with a good record. A Google search shows an American footballer and college basketballer who are more notable than Coach Hawkins see [34]. Capitalistroadster 09:29, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep - definitely who he claims to be. [35], [36] and [37]. Notable person per google matches: 188 hits, using "Joey Hawkins" and "football" and "jackson", including this [38], this [39], this [40], this [41] and others. Don't be confused with "Joey Hawkins" the new NFL star - this is the coach. Consider a disambig as they both seem notable. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep. What's your definition of notable? He's one of the best high school football coaches in The State of Mississippi. High school football is one of Mississippi's most beloved sports, and communities really rally around their teams. Hawkins is one of the best. Deleting this post would smack of elitism. —preceding unsigned comment by 199.111.188.213 (talk • contribs) 3:57 AM, 3 December 2005 (EDT)
- Elitism? Is that the best defense you can come up with? This is an international encyclopedia, not a local register. Please take your "elitism is destroying the common man" rant to someone who believes illogical and poorly laid-out arguments. JHMM13 09:13, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  - You haven't given a valid reason to delete the post. You're uncertain Hawkins "is even remotely notable", but you fail to articulate what is notable, at least for an entry on Wikipedia. Should an individual have minimum contacts in more than one state? —preceding unsigned comment by 199.111.188.213 (talk • contribs)
    - Perhaps if you could convince me that I should give a damn about Joey Hawkins, it might be worth keeping. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
      - I suppose if I said I could care less about 85% of these entries, that wouldn't suffice. We can't all have common interests. But even people for fail to appreciate high school football can appreciate a man who is one of the best in his field. He's reached the pinnacle of his profession four of the last five seasons. Very few coaches can say the same. —preceding unsigned comment by 199.111.188.213 (talk • contribs)
        
        BTW, you're mistaken on the sockpuppet reference. —preceding unsigned comment by 199.111.188.213 (talk • contribs)
        
        Sorry, you have failed to convince me. Time to empty the chamberpot. And no, I'm not mistaken. Anonymous votes are sockpuppet votes, and do not count. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
        
        Whilst that might be your opinion, it is not actually the policy of wikipedia, see Wikipedia:sock puppet. Whilst a user is encouraged to create an account, they are not required to. Whilst a closing admin may choose to ignore suspected sock puppets, they are not required to. As the policy stands right now, an IP address can vote. If you think that this should be changed, your should comments in the sock puppet channel. As it stands, the current definition of sock puppet is someone who creates additional accounts to impersonate someone else. This is not the case here. This is merely someone who has yet to create an account. Please be nice to newbies and encourage their participation. And remember WP:AGF - assume good faith! Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:41, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

The author who I assume is the anonymous voter has put a lot of work into this page. Unfortunately, it doesn't meet WP:BIO which is our guidelines to biographical entries. I would recommend a Geocities page or Google Base article see [42]. Unfortunately, while I am sure Coach Hawkins is highly respected in his home town, he doesn't meet our notability criteria. Capitalistroadster 09:33, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Capitalroadster, though we disagree, you've stated your opinion eloquently and referenced the guidelines. I'm glad to see snottiness is not the culture around here, but isolated to a few souls. I've made a an account for myself. Cheers. SnyGuy
  - Thanks. I assume that you are the author. Please sign yourself with 4 tildes (~~~~) at the end so that we know who you are. As you have already voted here, you can't vote again. It is unfortunate that a lot of people are suspicious of new users at present. I hope that you continue to contribute, and even if this is deleted, that you are not disheartened, and that you continue to try to have a go. Why not try to add to existing articles? It is a lot safer, and less likely to raise questions about you. Consider following redlinks and create articles that are requested to be created rather than creating your own, at least for a while. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:43, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Is it really necessary to make a separate section to accuse someone of sock puppetry? Sock puppetry is supposed to be when someone is impersonating someone else. I see no evidence of this. This is just someone who has yet to make an account. That's not sock puppetry. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:36, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I have deleted the header "Sockpuppet votes" since the accusation does not appear to be supported by the facts. Anonymous votes are not necessarily sockpuppets, and they definitely are not sockpuppets when there is only one of them. --Metropolitan90 16:32, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

"Keep" In the whole scheme of Wikipedia... does one really think that having a single bio page on a pretty darn good HS Football coch will hurt? Get a life... keep the page.
Weak Delete- Very well written article, but unfortunately fails WP:BIO though not by much. Reyk 00:58, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Weak Delete, also. It's not bad as this type goes. Although to think everyone well-known in Mississippi must have an article seems a bit peculiar logic. Daniel Rayford McGehee was a Mississippi Congressman for a decade, including a period during WWII, but there doesn't seem to be an article on him yet. Clifford Davis represented Tennessee, but was originally from Mississippi. He was also shot in the leg during the U.S. Capitol shooting incident (1954), but there is no article on him yet either. Still , to whoever the creator of it is, you should maybe keep this in some personal file in case this coach ever say gets a movie made about him or something that would warrant this.--T. Anthony 10:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep; pretty well-done article about somebody who's somewhere near the edge of the boundary between notability and non-notability, and I prefer to err in the direction of inclusionism. *Dan T.* 16:50, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Emotions aside, this is a non-notable bio. Stifle 15:02, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
Weak keep and dab; this is the kind of article which Wikipedia should definitely include some day. The question is when? Considering the recent work on Jackson Academy, and the detail of the article, I think we can keep this one. I do wish the contributors would also fix up Indianola, Mississippi, though. +sj + 13:40, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
No vote, but this is a very well done article and I think that if we were at the point that [[User:Sj] thinks we should be at someday, I agree that this coach (with that many state championships) would be included. I am not sure that we'll ever be there and right now this doesn't fit our criteria, IMO. -- DS1953 00:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Last Thursday Please accept my sincere apologies as a previous editor of this entry and creator of the Last Thursday entry here on Wikipedia. This original, URL based entry was made by someone who is not familiar with Wikipedia articles and I guess I am also at fault as I should have simply changed the name of this article. I would hope not to have caused offence or be thought of as creating link spam, this is certainly not the intention. Last Thursday is a new socio-business network which is growing very rapidly within the UK and Europe.

Comment - this article has been only listed on WP:PNT on 3 Dec 2005. I believe it's against wikipedia rules, to vote it into deletion just because it's "too short" or wrong language: we want to give it a chance and the current procedure is to allow 2 full weeks for translation.

Keep and send to Cleanup. Wow, this is really really far from patent nonsense. A quick Google shows that Marv Wiesberg has published several books and appears to referenced in the field. Granted, the article is not about Marv Wiesberg. However, a shorter clearer version of the Wiesberg Model might reasonably be included in a bio of Wiesberg. Also, IMO this is clearly not original research, it is a synopsis of an existing methodology that appears to have at least some notability in the Org Dev field. It reads a little like an essay because it's a bad article, but it's not. It being NOT original research, I challenge to prove lack of notability for Wiesberg (which he may not be, I don't know.) Otherwise, keep and cleanup. Herostratus 07:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment This article scarcel mentions Marv Weisbord who has written a couple of books on management theory see [46].

[edit] Mavra Matia

Can find no external sources for this, single author removed unsourced tags pgk^(talk) 13:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete per nomination. See also Andy Petridis and Andy Anesti Petridis, two duplicate articles which are the only ones linking to this. — FREAK OF NUR_xTURE (TALK) 14:06, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. "Mavra" is Greek for "black"; "Matia" i dunno. To me the failure to translate suggests, as does the ambiguous "NOC", an inside joke, with the emphasis perhaps on "joke", which is consistent with the bad faith of removing tags. Descending into hunches, my suspicions are heightened by

_ _ the strong degree of rhyming with Harry Potter's "Avra Kedavra" spell;

_ _ Kedavra/cadaver paralleling matia/"-mate" in checkmate (which derives from "shah-maht" meaning "the king is dead"), and

_ _ the somewhat similar Romance-language root "mort-" ("Morte d'Arthur", "mortal", "mortician", "mortified", "mortgage") meaning death and perhaps a cognate with -mate if not matia.

FWIW.

- Instead, why don't you prove to me why this "Mike Lorek" is notable? --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
  - Never claimed he was notable, its the organization that is notable. This organization has been recognized in the community countless times and contributes to local charities. This is an organization that brings the community together by hosting car shows and local wrestling events. They are a positive influence in the community, and have been for the past six years. Whats not notable about that?Ognit Ice 05:08, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    - So it's notable in it's community. How is it notable in the world at large? --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
      - Doesn't have to be a worldwide organization, even though it is expanding. Theres countless businesses and groups on Wikipedia that don't have a global presence. The organization exists and is verifiable. There are no "organization inclusion guidelines" in Wikipedia that state an organization needs a global presence.Ognit Ice 05:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
        
        Presence doesn't really matter; it's whether or not an organization is notable outside its presence that counts. Nobody outside of the vicinity of Johnstown, PA would know or care about the Mike Lorek Fan Club; ergo, it is not notable. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)
        
        Well considering i'm from Pittsburgh, I have to disagree with you. Thats a bold statement to make about an organization you obviously know nothing about. If other communities had groups like the Mike Lorek Fan Club the world would be a much better place. Other people wanting to start an organization to benefit there community could follow the blue print set up by this organization.

The result of the debate was speedy keep. As the original nominator, I am now satisfied that the page is not meant to be a backhanded attack page.

The nominator has to give a "speedy keep" vote, or it must be proven (or obvious) that the nomination was made in bad faith. --Aurochs (Talk | Block)

Well if one follows the link to Shaver's blog, one would find plenty of references to a Beltzner, which definitely contradicts the grounds for the deletion nomination, i.e. it's an attack.

[edit] Moshe Dwek

This nomination has more to do with verifiability than with notability. If the contents of the article are true, then the subject is (IMHO) notable and worthy of inclusion. The problem is: I can't verify the contents of the article. Googling on "Moshe Dwek" returns only four hits, none related to the article's topic. Googling on the alternate spelling of "Moshe Douek" returns only two hits, neither related to the article's topic. The news link provided within the article directs to a webpage that is written in Hebrew, and to a newscast that is spoken in Hebrew. The Geocities link simply has a picture with some Hebrew script. And the Jewish Virtual Library link mentions the hand-grenade incident, but doesn't name the perpetrator of the incident. I'm hoping that someone with greater google-fu than I — perhaps one of our brethren or sistren interested in Israeli history and politics — might shed further light on this subject. → Ξxtreme Unction {^yakł_blah} 13:59, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Conditional delete. The incident probably happened, but there is no support that Dwek was the perpetrator, and the walla.co.il page is not about Dwek - it just blogs all the minuscule parties from Israel's turbulent political history. One chap (whose email address is listed) asks what happened to Dwek (דואק) and his party Tarshish (תרשיש), which means Tyre or Tarsus.

Keep After looking up the Hebrew word for hand grenade (somehow I missed that one all these years), I read the story above, and yes, it does in fact verify that Dwek threw the grenade, started his own party Tarshish, and somehow got 700 votes. (I also found a few other places which confirmed these facts, all of them thogh in Hebrew). I've been trying to find an English language site which mentioned Dwek's name for hours and come up with nothing. Also the Hebrew wikipedia site does mention Dwek and the grenade on his page as well as on the page of one of the ministers who was injured in the attack. I'm really sorry I can't seem to find an English page that confirms this, but it appears that only the Israeli media ever bothered to mention the man by name. --Bachrach44 21:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Withdraw nomination ∾ In light of the comments from El C, Bachrach44, and the original author of the article, I withdraw my nomination.

I believe you are all showing your intense bias by choosing to decide that NNK is 'vidgame (sic) slackers'. The cut and paste, by the way, is from their official website.

I'd speculate that online affiliations of reasonable reknown should be afforded the same status as obscure roads in Massachusetts and Tiffany discographies. But perhaps that's my inner slacker speaking out of place.

Delete, since it just doesn't seem notable. I get 6 google hits for Numack+robot, which I believe would be a good indicator of it's notability.

Delete for being way too obscurami, I mean way too obscure. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 11:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment, go ahead delete it - but I do know that this term has been used in the same context it has been addressed in the article. It has been the topic for debate across conspiracy forums. In any case I can't argue your statement, I was actually expecting this day to come, seeing as I don't have enough online evidence to submit it's notability just yet. However please bear in mind that there are many more articles within the "conspiracy theory" and "secret society" categories that have no links or even elements to source it, not to mention hardly anything written about them. An example of this could be found at Illuminus, just to name one. But there are many more that have averted deletion and have very little in terms of information or source material. Piecraft 12:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete gibberish per referrer. --Ghirlandajo 03:49, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep for the pure reason that I am fed up with people like the above poster who continuously vote on articles, especially by making such remarks as calling it gibberish when they have no previous knowledge surrounding the occult, the conspiracy theory world or even secret societies. This is in fact a confirmed name in the world of secret societies, and if this article goes then you should look at the other articles relating to other less notable and unverified secret scoieties here Secret societies. Piecraft 14:12, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hi there. I am very interested in the occult, conspiracy theories and secret societies and the like. Indeed they are some of my favourite interests. I would be very interested in learning more about them. I only voted delete because of Wikipedia guidelines. Personally, I'd be very happy for this to be kept. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 07:05, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hi, I understand all the above (and below) statements regarding the lack of verification for such a term related tot he existence of this "purported" secret society - however I feel insulted (and this was the purpose for my reason of keeping the article) that some people would simply write the article off as gibberish or ""fabrication" when I have attempted to put into words all that I do know or have read and been told of this secret alliance. I do realise that this article is probably not entirely in keeping with the Wikipedia guidelines, and this is why my initial comment was to delete if everyone thought it was truly not worthy. But again I digress, that there are many more articles related to conspiracy and secret societies with less information and sources than this one. This is what I tried pointing out with my first comment. In any case I will attempt to continue my search on finding further information and possibly sources that will help verify this article, but do remember that this is if anything a secret society - and as far as I know most secret societies like to be kept secret otherwise they defy their purpose. The only reason we know of Freemasonry and the supposed Illuminati (which is still debatable and highly conceptual in my opinion) is because millions of people have discussed them in relation to common problems and events in today's world. If you want to find out more about this article or continue any discussion relating to these areas please don't hesitate to contribute to my talk page. In nay case thanks for your interest Zordrac. I will be saving this aticle on my talk page so as my entire work will not have been in vain. Piecraft 20:09, 5 December 2005 (UTC)
  - You correctly understood that the main issue here is wikipedia:Verifiability. "Gibberish" and "fabrication" don't refer to you. There is no reason not to believe that you honestly collected bits and pieces of what you've heard about this. But this does not preclude the fact that you wqere collecting gibberish. In wikipedia, only reputable works are legitimate source of verification. The only reason we have an article about Freemasonry is precisely because millions of people spoke of them and then reputable and trained historians wrote about them. By definition, wikipedia authors are not considered "reputable". Please make your article printed in, e.g., Boston Globe, wait for a discussion and then we'll see. mikka (t) 18:15, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete; has only 34 search results from Google, and some are here on Wikipedia, and others are in non-English-language sites. Maybe it is indeed in wide use within secret societies as alleged, but their very secrecy prevents the verifiability that is a requirement of Wikipedia. *Dan T.* 16:23, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Speedy delete G4. -- Saikiri~ 03:58, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment. Speedy? Whoa. I'm not qualified to vote on this, but I do see a lot of Google hits, and according to The Leaky Cauldron (website) "[Pottercast] reached number one on the iTunes Music Store in its first few days online, and has been in the top 100 since." Is that significant (and true)? If so, does it indicate notability? On the other hand, Mugglecast occurs one a week; the next Pottercast is scheduled for Summer 2006. Herostratus 04:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- As far as I am aware, PotterCast has never hit #1 on iTunes, Mugglecast holds that distinction (and MuggleCast is a featured podcast on iTunes). Nonetheless, the article "PotterCast" (note capital C) was nominated and deleted last week after a vote and the only difference between the articles is the capital C.

Keep - Step 1: google check gives us 181 hits. Step 2: Is he real? yes. Step 3: Is he who the article claims he is? yes. Step 4: Are there any claims of notoriety worthy of mention? From the article: "Franklin has been recognized with three teaching awards selected by students - the SBE Outstanding Teacher Award in 1997 and 2005, and WLUSU Award for Teaching Excellence in 2002 - and the Royal Bank Teaching Award in 1994." 3 awards. Are these awards notable awards? yes Step 5: Does this meet the criteria for deletion? In this case it is not clear cut, and this debate should be a discussion as to whether his established claims of notoriety are sufficiently notable to warrant encyclopaedic value. This will be up to an individual to decide. In my opinion, being 4 times awarded as the most outstanding teacher, in a period of 12 years, is a notable achievement. I have some knowledge of just how difficult it is to get such awards. Ergo, I encourage voters to vote for a keep. This is my detailed researched reasoning behind my decision. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 09:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Step 1. Google gives 181 hits. Step 2. Notability relying on three tin stars selected by students seems weak to me. The article is also ghastly hagiography, and if you cut the comparisons to Socrates et al, there wouldn't be much left. --Squiddy 10:20, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

How exactly would awards voted for by students make him less notable? IMO students are the only ones qualified enough to judge their teachers. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:21, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- The 'SBE Outstanding Teacher Award'[49] and 'WLUSU Award for Teaching Excellence'[50] appear to be internal to the college. Fair enough, students are best placed to judge (I agree), but they aren't national awards or anything. If he had been awarded some kind of first place in competition with all the college and university teachers in Canada, that might count as notable. All this means is that his students like him. --Squiddy 21:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shaytonian Chronicles, Tamal's Journeys, Destiny Sets, Shayton, Talkar Mara

Fantasy series, apparently self-published (see author's website [51]), fails WP:FICT. 25 Google hits [52], most hits are from the author's website or link pages on other sites. Delete as vanity, self-promotion. Saikiri~ 06:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete - although I had a look at the author's page and it says that she won the Nanowrimo writing project twice - in 2004 and 2005. I have heard of this project, and I believe it is along the lines of writing a novel really quickly. However, as far as I can tell the winner is just someone who manages to write an entire 500 page novel in a month. If its more than that, and she actually managed to win something, then it might be a claim to notoriety. But from Nanowrimo it doesn't seem like it is enough. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:25, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- NaNoWriMo is where people get together once every November and try to write a 50,000 word novel in 30 days. In my opinion it doesn't qualify as a claim to notoriety - the contest is not monitored (it is technically possible to "win" by just pasting your name in a Word doc 50,000 times and submitting it, and some people actually do game the system like this), and you do not "win" anything except the satisfaction and pride of having written a novel in a month. It is a great project and a ton of fun, but in my opinion a NaNo win is not enough to establish notability on its own. -- Saikiri~ 12:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, I can't find any reference to their publisher. Google hits I tracked were all self-promotional, on free sites and not on reliable sources. NaNoWrimo is won by at least 2000 people a year now it's taken off, so that's no claim of notability. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:11, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Sociocultural perspective

This sub-stub has sat unexpanded for over a year and a half. The contents don't even rise to the level of a definition - they are more a self-evident restatement of the title. The article is an orphan, leading me to believe that this topic is probably unexpandable. The article has, however, been vandalized. (I discovered it while digging through the contribution history of a problem-user.) Unless solid evidence is presented that this article is expandable, I have to recommend deletion.

Delete per Mgm. A note about Google about something like this... it would pick up every instance of someone writing "From a sociocultural perspective...". I think it's more analagous to searching Google for "black couch" or something like that. Number of Google hits is just one aspect of determining whether an article should stay.

The result of the debate was redirected to Traditionalist Catholic; no content merged (yet) because I have no idea where the hell this should be merged, I'm not an expert on the subject, and Traditionalist Catholic is protected. Johnleemk | Talk 11:13, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Terminology used in the Traditionalist Catholic debate

Most of these terms are used on other pages in Wikipedia. Many of them are not included in the Traditional Catholic article anyway. I think this was created with good intentions but this is not deserving of a page of it's own. Dominick ^(TALK) 14:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC) }}

Please vote following the standard WP:AFD process. Dominick ^(TALK) 12:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

To make this easier, I modify my vote to Delete and Merge into the correct article. Dominick ^(TALK) 22:37, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

"This latter definition has been adopted in the relevant Wikipedia articles, including this one," says the article, thus taking sides on the controversial question of the definition of "traditionalist Catholic". Such a point-of-view article is inadmissible in Wikipedia, and should be eliminated.

In addition, the article says that "using the 'wrong' term can cause considerable irritation or offence." Thus, by its own admission, this article, which is mainly about the "wrong" or insulting terms, is almost bound to cause considerable irritation and offence, and should be eliminated.

Merge per Dtobias and JGofBorg. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 02:34, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge per above or fork/transwiki to wiktionary as appropriate. Each term is, 1) Something that can be explained well enough in a sentence or two to be used in any article, with no dedicated article or definition needed (the merge/delete case), 2)the term for a concept so important it deserves its own article (fork), or 3)the term for a concept that just needs a definition, in which case the wiki-dictionary and not the wiki-encyclopedia is its home. Regardless, the concept of "terminology used in the Traditionalist Catholic debate" doesn't strike me as something that an encyclopedia article can actually be written about, and I don't think anything much more than a redirect begins at a page whose title begins with "terminology".

Comment: On the Xiaolin Showdown page there is this tag, "important: This article is becoming very long. Please consider transferring content to subtopic articles where appropriate." Maybe that's what the author of the dream stalker was trying to do? WP:AGF Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete. The Xiaolin Showdown page appears to have been significant trimmed since that tag was put up. Also, nominating an article for AfD and whether article stays or goes has little to do with Good Faith or not. AGF would have use put a friendly note on the talk page of the creator of this page informing him that it is up for AfD and why and welcome an explanation. Putting up a newly created page for AfD is rarely a violation of AGF. Peyna 14:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

"Keep" How complete does Wikipedia want to become? This page has a rather detailed account of one episode. The main page has a terse summary of each episode, and links to pages for details on each episode. If you want to delete this, because "It's just a TV show", then you'd have to delete ALL episode detail entries from all TV series information, including all star treks, all MASH, etc. Not that that's wrong, or a bad policy, but if that is to be the policy, then you should make that the policy. (I do not know what the procedure is for determining Wikipedia policy). As long as that is not the policy, I see no reason for this page to be deleted. In other words: If "No episode details" is the policy, then delete this page for not meeting the policy. If that's not the policy, keep this page.
- This article is more suited for www.tv.com or similar site than Wikipedia because the detail is overwhelming. Trim and merge as Xiaolin Showdown is not as notable as Star Trek, M*A*S*H, or Twilight Zone and even they don't go into all the detail as presented in the article in question. B.Wind 08:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- It should also be noted that when this article was put up for deletion it was a mere sentence long (maybe two) summary of the episode. Even as it stands, I would argue that this has little place in an encyclopedia. How many encyclopedias have you found with detailed descriptions of television programming. The show itself is probably deserving of an entry, but each episode does 'not' need individual entries. The same should go for any television show, with the exception of extraordinarily important or ground-breaking episodes, IMO. Bryanmckay 20:22, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Fictional Southern Mauristemo Islands

The title of the article starts with "The Fictional..", which I think sort of sums it up. I at first thought these "Fictional" islands must be from the universe of some TV show or movie, but no mention is made or reference given to this effect. I'm at a loss. Zero Google results for "Mauristemo Islands" [54] is the nail in the coffin, for me.-- PeruvianLlama^(spit) 03:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

When I challenged him he wrote "We aren't going to allow your pedestrian geographic expertise to obstruct our legitimate work. This is years of research come to life!" on my talk page. The "Fictional" was added by another editor--there was a little rename war going on there for a bit. (See also Mauristemo and Southern Mauristemo Islands, which now redirect to this article.)

Delete - Non-encyclopedic. Barely over the user count minimum, and a poor Alexa rating, spells delete this subsubsubsubstub. The essential problem with pages like is this, there is absolutely nothing to expand because there's nothing encyclopedic to say about the site. There is no suggestion that this site has influenced a wider audience or that it is anything more than a chat page. Beyond the (POV, I will note) "friendly place to chat" - what are you going to say about this site? List all the moderators? All the forums? Who cares! WP:NOT a Web directory. FCYTravis 19:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete... not really much point in having articles about web forums unless there's something notable to say about them. *Dan T.* 16:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
This highlights one of the things that is wrong with the WP:WEB criteria: An inclusion criterion of "has M or more members" yields a discussion forum directory, with many entries that can never be more than "X is a discussion forum. Domain name: D. Number of members claimed: N.", not an encyclopaedia. (This is just the same process that yields a business directory, not an encyclopaedia, when inclusion criteria for companies include things like "has N or more employees".)
Furthermore, it is highly unlikely that the forum actually has the number of members stated, any more than Wikipedia actually has the number of editors that Special:Statistics states. (Consider people who create one-off vandalism accounts, for example.)

The best criterion to employ is whether anyone else, wholly independent of the subject, has found it notable enough that they have gone to the effort of publishing non-trivial works of their own that are about it. For Usenet, for example, one will find independently written and published FAQs, guides, papers in conference proceedings, and a large number of books. Searching, I find nothing like that for this subject. Indeed, the web site appears not to even have an "about" page of its own. Anything in this article beyond a mere directory entry, of the form described, would be original research. Wikipedia is not a directory. Delete. Uncle G 19:18, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Odee Company

Non-notable; although they seem somewhat larger than (e.g.) a small family-run printshop, they don't come across as being *that* big, and I can't find anything particularly notable about them in the article or on their website. Fourohfour 13:05, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak delete; seems to be of local interest at best. *Dan T.* 16:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

(The following comment was originally posted at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/The Odee Company by User:BuzzTatom at 14:30, 5 December 2005) I am the person that wrote the article. This was only meant as a history of a 83 year old company with an intersting history of how it came about. I did not go into the history as much as I should have but I also did not want it to appear as though this was an advertisement. I have read the tutorial and first article pages. Can either of the people who put this up for deletion expound on their thoughts. I could go into how we are a $10 million dollar company which by PIA(Printing Industry of America)standards this is considered a rather large company. Just not sure what is stepping across the line or how to correct what editors don't like about this so to get this reinstated.
- I was the (single) person who originally nominated this for AfD. It's not been deleted yet; we're still discussing it. If a majority disagree with me, the AfD tag will be removed and it won't get deleted. For what it's worth, I didn't think it was spam or advertisement-like... I just didn't think the company was notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia article. I don't believe that there are any hard-and-fast rules about how large a company has to be to warrant notability on size alone, so this could be open for debate. Fourohfour 15:23, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

- Thank you for feedback. I have added some more historical information on the page. That is why I feel that it warrants consideration. It is an 83 year old company that is connected to a 127 year old company(Goes Litho). Historically there are not a lot of companies that are that old that are still under their original name. Especially ones that sold something that is collectible at this point or were the largest legal form publishers in the state of Tx. We also are not just of local interest but have sold regionally with the Goes borders and sell nationally in all 50 states as well as internationally into Mexico and Canada. I just felt like that in this country it is important for us to keep a historical reference of companies that have been through the Depression, all of the World Wars and all the other historical times that businesses have had to withstand and succeed. Let me know if there would be anything else you would like to see on the page.
  - Comment The criteria for retention of articles about companies is set out in WP:CORP.

Keep. The company is 83 years old and the author states that it is the largest legal forms printer in Texas. We can't have every small local business, but there is history here and the company has a state-wide #1 position (in an admittedly niche market). I see no good reason to delete it. -- DS1953 00:58, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment - All statements in articles have to be verifiable per WP:V. If you know of a source thaqt verifies this article, please share it with us. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 01:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  - I think your prior reference to WP:CORP is well-made, though that is a proposal that many editors have commented on as being too restrictive. Your comments based on Wikipedia:Verifiability, on the other hand, seem to imply that a statement must be verified rather than verifiable. It seems to me that all of the statements in the article can be verified. I have no reason to think that they are untrue and personally don't believe that is an appropriate test at AfD (short of an outright hoax, which a simple Google search confirms not to be the case here). You are entitled to your reasons for voting and I to mine. -- DS1953 22:41, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Comment - And how is anyone supposed to know an article is verifiable without veritying it? I'll just note that the first paragraph of Wikipedia:Verifiability says, "editors should cite credible sources so that their edits can be easily verified by readers and other editors." I think it is unfair to put the onus of finding verifying sources on the reader. I think it is lazy and sloppy, and un-Wiki, to write an article without including sources. I'll continue to vote against any article that doesn't cite credible sources. If such sources are added, I'll reconsider my vote. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 23:38, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Dalbury thanks for the info on Corp & Verifiability. I did read both before posting the article. I can verify that Odee is the SW Goes distributor by their website goeslitho.com

I could send copyrighted borders and show the insignia in the art in several borders. I could have Chris Goes verify we have been the SW distributor since 1924 but that would also be his word as well. As far as the being the largest legal form publisher in Tx it was common knowledge to attorneys in the state in that time period who was the source for federal bankruptcy kits and legal form blanks. I do know the only other legal form publishers in TX were Pound Printing & Martin's Stationery(Will Odee stole their customer list). Neither are in existence any longer. The reason I know about Martin's is my grandfather was robert martin and that is also how I knew the history on Will Odee. We were several times the size of Martin's and Pound Printing and they actually had us print many of their forms due to our equipment being larger. The problem with private old companies is records are not kept that long. Knowledge is passed down by generations and my grandparents are long since gone. My father and mother are still alive and could verify all that I have said but I'm not sure how that applies to the rules. It has been a very important company at times for the legal and financial(stock) community but I'm not sure what verification I can give you beyond what I have offered. Please feel free to tell me if any of these ideas would suffice. Thanks for your consideration.

- Comment Can you cite a newspaper or business magazine that has featured the company in an article? I have developed a real bug about wanting to see credible sources cited in Wikipedia articles. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 00:16, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
Here is a link to a conference I spoke at: www.pinc.org/vault/FallCon_2003.pdf (Printing Industry conference for California printers) I am on there under panelist. This doesn't again give you any historical reference on The Odee Company but establishes me as somewhat industry expert. I could have Joe Polanco President of PIA MIDAmerica(Printing Industries of America)verify that we have been around for many years although he is not old enough to have seen us in 1923. He could tell about us selling legal forms and being the supplier for Goes borders in the 7 state region for as long as he has been associated with the printing business. Any articles that we have been written in would be long gone from years ago. If you have another person from a company that we have been long associated with verify some of this info(Goes Litho) and you have an industry representative from PIA Mid America(Joe Polanco)tell you what he knows and I have shown via this link that I have been sought after to be a panelist for a printers conference does that not suffice to prove that I am what I say I am? Let me know if there is something else I can help with. Thanks, Buzz

While many of these claims may be correct if wikipedia is supposed to be a comprehensive encyclopedia it should not be limited just to articles that are popular. The essence of an encyclopedia should be to help perpetuate learning and if that means it involves supporting an individuals theory then so be it.

[edit] Tori Stone

Delete. Unless any further information comes to light on Tawnee's "sister", I vote that the page should be removed. It merely duplicates information that is available on the Tawnee Stone page and is, therefore, redundant. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 04:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep - IF and only IF this is the same Tori Stone I am seeing 290,000 google hits and a fabled porn star. I won't give you all the links, but try this one: [56]. Some people occasionally say "model" as a nice way to say "porn star" lol. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:37, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Yup, its her. Check this out [57] and [58]. Lightspeed is a porno model agency. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- For the fourth time: Counting Google hits is not research. For the reasons explained on Wikipedia:Google test, the Google test is useless as any sort of metric when it comes to people in the Internet pornography industry. In the pornography industry, most people are deliberately unverifiable, by their own choices and due to the nature of what they do. If you have a reliable source of biographical information on this person that can be used to construct an encyclopaedia article, please cite it. But bear in mind that the purported biographies that accompany the pictures on pornography web sites or in magazines are almost always made up. All that you have cited so far are three advertisements, one of which even explicitly describes itself as an "Advertising Come-On". Advertisements for Internet pornography are untrustworthy. Uncle G 14:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Please stop the abuse! It is not necessary! Counting google hits is a valid method to determine notoriety. It is not the only method, and you can personally disagree with it, however it is a method. Your tone is verging on a Wikipedia:no personal attacks and I would ask you to tone it down and stop the attacks. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 19:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Zordrac, I sincerely doubt that Uncle G is making a personal attack against you -- he is only being matter-of-fact. And, unfortunately, he is correct in saying that the Google test is sketchy at best and shouldn't be used as the sole litmus test to determine the notability of pornographic personalities. For the record, Google bombing (or search-enginge bombing in general) is a common phenomenon by producers and distributors of pornography -- unsurprising, given that many technologies such as video on demand are first accepted by the pornographic industry prior to the "mainstream" industries. (Side note: I would wager that if Hollywood were to Google bomb as well, we would have the same problem in determining the notability of actors, actresses and even productions.) Anyway, don't take any comments personally and take them as constructive critism (or new lessons as a Wikipedian). -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 05:02, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      - Its not used as the sole test, it is used as a factor. If you'd been following my votes, you'd know that. And the Google test is a legitimate method described in Wikipedia guidelines to determine an article's notoriety. So telling me that I am not allowed to use it is silly and just plain nasty, especially if it is done 4 or 5 times in increasingly nasty ways. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 05:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless she's done something more than take her clothes off in front of a camera and had her picture put on a few websites. Sadly, porn stardom is becoming so common that's it not that much of an accomplishment. Peyna 14:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
The article cites no sources of biographical information that can be used to verify the article. The only purported sources supplied here turn out to be simple advertisements from the people/organizations selling pictures of this person, that are in no way reliable sources by their very nature as self-sourced self-promotional advertisments. The widespread advertising and Googlebombing employed by the industry in which this person purportedly works makes it impossible to locate actual sources of biographical information after the fact. If someone has published a magazine feature article, a news article, a book, a documentary, or some other non-trivial work about this person herself that doesn't amount to a simple catalogue entry, it is impossible to find. (Wikipedia is not a simple catalogue of people. It is not a Yellow Pages or a telephone directory.) And there are no audience figures for the works in which this person may have appeared. As with many people in this industry, it is no doubt deliberate that the only information publicly available about this person herself is fabricated blurb. Unverifiable. Delete. Uncle G 14:55, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Existing article is virtually content-free and this individual doesn't appear to have achieved the notability in her genre yet. 23skidoo 16:04, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Speedy delete as short article with little or no context. She might be notable but the article isn't much chop. Keep Zordrac's rewrite - she seems notable enough for mine. Capitalistroadster 18:06, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: I honestly don't know if the current article is still good enough. I will give the proper acknowledgement to Zordrac for making an effort to epxand what was a glorified stub article. However the article reads less like a bio and more of a profitability study on "Tori Stone". Perhaps a page of Lightspeed models is in order, with Tori Stone as redirect? Just a thought or three... -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. ^{Think out loud} 05:02, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
  - Comment: Lightspeed_Media_Corporation already does have their own page. Feel free to vote to merge to that page (although the other 2 "stars" of Lightspeed media have their own wikipedia pages, so I don't see why this one doesn't). Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 05:48, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment I have rewritten most of the article, including links, I think I have 10 independent reviews in there, and so forth. Most of the links are pornographic however so I am not sure of the protocol for that. I could find absolutely nothing that suggests that she is not Tawnee Stone's sister. Every single place said that they were sisters. However, given that there are videos of them having sex with each other, and they are frequently displayed together on web sites, it seems likely that they are not really sisters, and that it is merely being used for the incest angle. The fact that she charges US $35/mth for a soft porn web site with only herself in there and no bonus extras to me says a lot. Average price for full on porn sites is something in the order of US $15-$25, with 100s of models. For her to charge that much by herself, well, only the very best do that. Ergo, significant claims to notoriety. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 21:17, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- If I start a web page and ask for $100 a month to see pictures of me, will you nominate me for Article of the Day? 24.164.154.130

    - But we have no evidence of that here. What we do have is a naked person whom someone decided needed to be spammed all over the Internet. Peyna 18:56, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
      - I disagree. There were a number of independent reviews of the site, which have suggestions of how many people use it. It would be interesting to find out how many people do pay to see it, but I am not sure if it is possible to get that information.

Weak keep; apparently has some mild notability in her industry. *Dan T.* 16:06, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep notable. Grue 20:32, 6 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete. She apparently "entered the business" about May, 2005 (according to the article) and she is "notable" 7 months later? Why? Just because the industry has cranked up the PR machinery and generated a ton of links? Not verifiable! Let her establish notability first like some other porn stars, then include her, rather than fall for the PR. -- DS1953 01:06, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, the PR machinery has put her in the realm of things that users would hope to be able to read about in an encyclopedia. Kappa 02:23, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

OffTopic: What means PR machinery? Please... :D I supose it, but here at Spain i haven't hear it. Piranna 18:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
- Sorry, "PR" means public relations (a form of marketing) but the term "marketing" might have been a better choice anyway since marketing would include the website creation and the various search engine optimization (SEO) techniques that they use to blanket the Internet so that someone who, by July 2005 "produced \'15 solo pictorial sets, as well as 10 videos, of combined length approx 30-40 minutes" (per the article) causes editors to fall over themselves in a rush to label her notable. As you can tell from my comments, I am amazed that so many people fall for this. Hype is hype, regardless of the industry, and I can't understand why we lower the notability bar so low. There are certainly notable porn stars but I find it hard to believe that this is one of them. -- DS1953 23:40, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
  - So Tawnee Stone is notable, yet her "sister" (marketed as her sister), photographed together all the time, always talked about together, filmed together, is not notable? How the hell does that work? Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 22:46, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
    - Tawnee hasn't even done all that much work herself; however, I have seen many photos and videos of her, and only very very few of the two of the them together, and even less of her "sister" alone. Trust me, if there were more out there, I would have found them by now. 65.185.187.7 22:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Torr the Relentless

this article contains no information as to its importance or notability. I vote Delete Deyyaz 22:35, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Guild Wars but I'm leaning towards an outright delete here. It's a Guild Wars boss [59], but nowhere near notable enough for its own article. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 22:51, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete, since there's nothing to merge. Only thing you could say is that there is a boss called Tor the Relentless in the article, which would probably be confusing, since I'm assuming this isn't the only one. If someone made a list of guild wars monsters or whatever (and it was considered encyclopedic), it could be included there. - Bobet 22:56, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- considering that A) the main guildwars article has no mention of Torr the Relentless and B) this article has some information not included in the guildwars article, I suggest that a merge is reasonable. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 03:47, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

As it is now, it has no real info; just a few blank sections and some redlinks. If somebody wants to try to expand it, maybe I'd change my opinion, but as it is now I'd say delete. Perhaps a brief mention of this creature should be added to Guild Wars. *Dan T.* 04:43, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- It is not presently mentioned in Guild Wars, and, as it is a boss, I think that it is certainly notable within the sphere of the Guild Wars world, and hence should be mentioned there. Which, as far as I am aware, equates to a merge. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 01:21, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

The original AfD on this was closed as no consensus and challenged at Deletion Review.

[edit] Wicked laser

Neologism and advertisement (surprisingly sans link). --Improv 19:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete; neologism not in widespread use. There may be some good info there that could be merged into Laser pointer or something like that. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-03 20:56:15Z
Delete. I see no information in there except the assertion that a frequency-doubled Nd-YAG laser is called "wicked". Pilatus 21:44, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Could it be that the recently registered author bought the keyword "wicked laser" from Google and is related to the webshop that prominently advertises 532 nm lasers with 100 and 125 mW output power on its top page? Call me paranoid, but the "sponsored link" tells me just that. Pilatus 21:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Comment: It seems to be the name used by a company in China to market powerful lasers; hence, it is more of a product name (perhaps trademarked?) than a generic name as claimed in the article. Does anybody know what the proper generic name is for portable lasers that are more powerful than the typical laser pointer? Those things come up in the news sometimes, like when an airline pilot is interfered with by the use of one of them, so there must be a name for them? *Dan T.* 15:48, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- I don't believe there is a generic term for that. Normally people would just say laser, and use adjectives to get close to whatever finer-tuned meaning they want. I don't think there are definitive borders between the external physical forms of a laser anyhow -- there are terms for lasers produced via different means or different strengths of laser, but all these should probably just be covered under laser. I could imagine if we got some really in-depth stuff on the means to produce lasers giving those seperate articles at some point. --Improv 16:45, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WikiNode

Neologism. Ashibaka (tock) 03:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak keep. I'm usually against neologisms, but this one appears to be in fairly widespread use, and it may well be useful for Wikipedia to provide a definition, being a natural place to look for the concept. —HorsePunchKid→龜 2005-12-03 06:18:32Z

Keep, obviously. More than a dicdef is already in the article. Encyclopedias carry information about things, and this article (that might not even be a stub, it might just be a short article) certainly has information about "Woe betide" that is not suitable for Wiktionary. -Splash^talk 02:09, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Wolfeboro Pioneers

nn Boy Scout organization. 79 Google hits. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

It's a legitimate organization. If there is any information that is believed to be incorrect or missing or any additional sources that need to be cited, please change it or contact me. Thank you.
The Author, --Papist 04:30, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- I never said it wasn't legitimate or incorrect. I said it's nn = non-notable. User:Zoe|^(talk) 04:32, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- If you want to convince Zoe and others, the first thing that you need to cite is coverage of this organization that is not sourced from the organization itself, i.e. not from the organization's web site, and not from a web site that simply parrots the organization's own blurb. Autobiographies, be they of people, companies, or organizations, are not reliable sources. Are there any third-party books written about this organization? Or third-party magazine feature articles? Or papers in reputable historical journals? Uncle G 07:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete: nn. --Worthawholebean 04:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Who cares if it's not notable. This organization has hundreds of members. This website is a place for all information as long as it's correct and not profane. The Pioneers work alongside major Honor Societies such as the Order of the Arrow and many hold dual membership. --Papist 04:43, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia cares if it's not notable. This is not a web hosting site, nor a PR firm, it's an encyclopedia. User:Zoe|^(talk) 05:34, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Papist, if you could provide some information on how this society is unique or distinctive from all the other minor Boy Scout organizations out there, you'd have a stronger case for keep. Delete as non-notable for now. Changed to Keep per claim to notability. -- Saikiri~ 05:39, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Wikipedia is a place for content that is verifiable, not original research, and presented from a neutral point of view. It is not a place for "all information". Uncle G 07:42, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete User:Ejrrjs says What? 08:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete sighs I'd love to back up a newbie who is trying really hard, and offer words of encouragement to Papist. It is very crushing to have an article deleted. Come over to my talk page and have a chat about it, and I'll help you out. But at the same time, I am having to vote delete on this one. Remember that when someone deletes one of your articles it is not an attack on you. We know full well that you did your best in creating this article, and that you did it in good faith. We know full well that you would like to see this created and for it to exist in this encyclopaedia. However, you also know that it would not exist in Brittanica or any other encyclopaedia, and indeed nobody would legitimately use it in a research project. Hence it is being deleted. I am sorry that you are being attacked by people as a newbie. I know its hard. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 10:47, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
- Oh, and click on your new messages while you are there. I left you something. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 11:07, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

I appreciate Zordac's understanding. However, I do not understand why one of the few surviving minor Boy Scout organizations in the United States (one that has not been absorbed by the Oder of the Arrow) is coming under attack*. By presenting this article, I hoped to make readers aware of the great tradition that exists within Boy Scout camps across the nation. The Wolfeboro Pioneers is undoubtedly one of the largest of these minor organizations. Every summer, it inducts 90 scouts, which is a pretty good annual induction rate for a "minor organization". These scouts come not only from California, but from around the nation and world. In a way, the Wolfeboro Pioneers promotes Scouts from around the nation and the world to come together and express their common bond.

Yours In Scouting,

--Papist 16:53, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

note: If you want to verify this, just look at how many organizations have been disbanded by going to http://usscouts.org/usscouts/honorsociety/honorscout.html

- Comment: That's an actual claim to notoriety, which could validate its inclusion. "One of the few surviving minor organizations". Now, if you can expand on that, then there may be cause for this article to be kept. For an article to remain, it must assertion a valid claim to notoriety. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 18:17, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep as per Papist's claim to notability. --YixilTesiphon Say hello 18:43, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Conditional Keep - whilst I am not entirely convinced that the claims are either suitably notable or suitably verified, I am for the moment going to WP:AGF that they are true and suitably notable, but reserve the right to change my vote back to delete if not proven later. I will have another look at the page later to see if it is fixed up to stake these claims properly. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 19:52, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Conditional Keep, per Zordrac. RMG 21:08, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep and request further sources; these claims should be verifiable. Bring it back to AfD later if it turns out to be impossible to verify to Wikipedia's standards. Oh, and kudos to Papist for responding so well to this AfD; it's a refreshing change to see someone actually making reasoned counter-arguments and citing sources instead of bringing on the sockpuppets. ;) — Haeleth Talk 00:19, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Haeleth. Just my opinion on this is that new users are often directed to AFDs on articles that they created and have no idea what they've done wrong. Whilst sock puppeting obviously exists, I think that a good section of the people are genuine new people. I took it upon myself to write a welcome message to Papist and to explain why people are so hostile, and I think that it at least helped to make things a bit easier for him. I think that if we could all take the time to do this, rather than all of the immediate defensives of accusing of sock puppetry etc, then perhaps people would be more likely to respond in a nice manner as well? Just a thought. Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 05:57, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep, on the grounds that (from what I see) it's apparently notable as one of the few independent scouting organizations not part of the Order of the Arrow; this fact should be better explained in the article so it doesn't give the appearance (as it has at present) of being merely one of numerous non-notable local scout groups that exist and probably don't deserve Wikipedia articles. *Dan T.* 15:17, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup per DanT. Stifle 19:37, 6 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] WoodenBoat and WoodenBoat Forum

Promotional. No evidence of notability. Does not even give address of the forum's website. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 18:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Yes, the WoodenBoat forum page is simply a lark, and should probably be deleted. However, the original link (to WoodenBoat) is serious and should be kept (though edited and amplified).
- Unsigned comment by 209.195.116.184. - Mike Rosoft 18:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)
Keep, well, keep WoodenBoat and redirect WoodenBoat Forum to it. And expand. I have the impression that WoodenBoat Magazine and the associated boatbuilding school are very significant in the world of wooden boat building. Which is not a very large world, I admit, but it's more than a few people. FreplySpang (talk) 20:28, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep Please - "Wooden Boat" was a seminal publication at the start of an international trend to appreciate our small craft maritime heritage anyone who has ever read "Swallows and Amazons" or "Sailing Alone Around the World" might have an interest in this.

Keep, precisely per Freply. rodii 22:40, 3 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep, please; and add a link to this entry from the entry at Brooklin, Maine which references WoodenBoat Magazine.

You can add that link yourself! "Welcome to Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia that anyone can edit." Also, please sign your edits here by adding four tildes at the end, thanks. rodii 01:18, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep WoodenBoat, and merge and redirect WoodenBoat Forum to it. It's apparently a notable publication within its (small) field. *Dan T.* 15:05, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Delete Delete, obviously self serving promotion, very poor net-etiquette to attempt free advertising on an information database, This commercial venture has no business being on Wikipedia. the owner of this publication should be contacted and admonished

*Mike* 18:29, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

Keep the magazine, Neutal on the forum. I've seen the magazine on newstands plenty of times: beautiful-looking publication, even if not my cup of tea. Also, paid circulation of 105,000 readers makes it notable enough. --Calton | Talk 03:48, 5 December 2005 (UTC)

Please note that WoodenBoat publications did not add this article to Wikipedia. I did. I have no affiliation with this organization, although I do read their magazine and frequent their forum. WoodenBoat emerged as part of the heritage movement of the sixties and early seventies (the same movement that gave us the Whole Earth Review, Foxfire, and the Folk Revival). WoodenBoat also runs an important school at Brooklin, Maine, where the old skills have been disseminated by many notable figures, including Joel White (who has an article in Wikipedia). Bruce Taylor

Keep Woodenboat and Delete or Redirect Woodenboat Forum. I don't see that we have any clear policy on articles about periodicals, but I don't see this as advertising, per se. The magazine has been published for more than 30 years, and there are books available that are collections of columns and articles from the magazine. I have some interest in this as I have a list of old magazines that I might try to write articles for. If anyone wants to discuss the possibility of working up some recommendations for criteria for periodical publications, contact me at my talk page. -- Dalbury^(Talk) 00:16, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

Weak Delete... I'd like to be convinced otherwise, since I'm inclusionist at heart, but the article as it is gives little reason to assert sufficient notability. The fact that people were criticizing and defending her on CNN points to a possibility of there being some notability there, so if somebody expands on this in the article I might change my vote. Just why did her name come up on the TV show anyway? *Dan T.* 15:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)
Delete - Hmm. Let's see. Google has zero hits the "eminent literary critic" Ishmael de los Despropósitos. And "Despropósitos" translates from both Portuguese and Spanish as "nonsense". The article was created by an anon IP address with no edits except in this article, and modifed by Call-me-Ishmael (talk • contribs) (does that name sound familiar?), who has no edits except in this article.
