slang term You (Talk) 00:10, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, you barely beat me to it!-Splash 00:11, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

A definition. Should be speedily deleted, not voted upon. ‡ Jarlaxle 00:12, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Ironically, I was hum-haahing over whether to speedy tag it or not. Which is hardly a speedy way for me to proceed!-Splash 00:12, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Mountain making

Neologism with no supporting references. Claimed to have been used in regard to Jeff Gannon case, but a search for ["mountain making" + Gannon] doesn't bring up any applicable sources. Questions left on the talk pages of the editor and the article haven't been answered. Willmcw 00:10, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

- From my experience, where there is a strong agreement among VfD voters that an article is appropriately speedily deleted, it is appropriate to put the speedy template on the page. I agree, by the way, speedy delete as a repost of previously deleted content. -- BD2412 ^talk 02:37, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
Strong Speedy for reasons above. This does get the Biggest Awful Picture award, though. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:10, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Comment - I'm not sure what the criterion were for the first two deletions, were they both speedy? I don't think this should be a candidate for speedy deletion... it's not pure vanity... he does have books out, which doesn't mean notability... but it does mean it's not blatant "I'm a 10 year old from Alabama" vanity. I'd think about keeping this, and if it was speedily deleted the first two times then I'm not sure that should be used as a justification for this deletion. gren 02:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- What are the criteria for author notability? Anyone know? - Mustafaa 03:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Yes, I would like to know that as well -- and I would like the users voting here to base it on that, not because of past (speedy?) deletes. And, just because the user who created his own page isn't the easiest to deal with doesn't mean it gets speedy automatically. gren 03:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Stikfas

Marked for speedy but isn't a candidate. Reason given was advertising. Seems unlikely to me that this was done by the company, more likely it was a fan. Nominator abstains from voting. — Gwalla | Talk 00:29, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Strong Keep fairly-famous toy line. I've certainly heard of it. Like LEGO but with an emphasis on characters instead of buildings. 213,000 Google hits places it way beyond the ballpark of most VfD subjects. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:08, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Subandhu

bogus information, Subandhu is Indian, article claims Arabic, zero was later than 4000BC, more like AD something, other "facts" made up GangofOne 00:47, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

delete, patent nonsense. - Mustafaa 00:47, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete an arab born circa 5000BC named Raphael? That doesn't ring true, as that'a a Hebrew name. In any case, probable nonsense based on above. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:15, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Certain nonsense. We do not know the name of anyone alive in 5000 BC; writing hadn't been invented yet. Nor is the name of the inventor of zero known. There were no Arabs in 5000 BC; there may not even have been Semites yet. There were no Arabic numerals until 400 BC. Subandu is not an Arabic name either. Arabic numerals does mention an early Indian mathematician named Subandhu, author of the Vāsavadattā, but this article sure doesn't tell us anything about him. - Mustafaa 02:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Strong delete clearly ridiculous. --Mintie 03:51, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] 15 Seymour Street

"15 Seymour Street is the birthplace of the notorious serial killer James Cole. Pilgrims regularly visit." So sayeth the article. Presumably these pilgrims know what city or town the street is in, and who the mysteriously red-linked Mr. Cole is, too. Unless further facts emerge, delete. Grutness...wha? 01:14, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. It's either made-up or not notable—Google search of "15 Seymour Street" "James Cole" yields zero hits — Fingers-of-Pyrex 01:36, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

[edit] Svobs, Svobsian, Kyravian, Dennis Camé

This could be from some unnamed work of fiction such as a novel or film, or from the anabatic perambulations of a deranged psyche. There's no indication either way at the moment, but Svobs + Dennis gets a perfect googlewhack - one hit, so my moneys on it being piffle. If I'm wrong and it's from a real fictional work, then either add to it or merge with whatever it's from, otherwise delizzle this shizzle. Grutness...wha? 01:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Creation science's attempt to question the reliability of dendrochronology

Looks, smells and feels like a POV fork. Unwieldy name, etc. Clearly a topic that should be addressed, but in the respective Dendrochronology or Creation science articles. FCYTravis 01:50, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Dendrochronology Rocky 01:52, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Addresses this real issue in an objective neutral way. If you merge this with dendrochronology it will be like merging Star Wars with astronomy. If it needs to be merged, do it with creation science. Bensaccount 01:55, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Objective and neutral? I suspect that a creation scientician wouldn't agree with that analysis. Pburka 02:34, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - Such a person probably wouldn't, but objectivity and neutrality do not impose a duty to present bunkum as reality. Creation science in general, and this bit in particular, are not widely accepted by those with expertise in the field. As a minority "theory," their beliefs are entitled to respect and dispassionate presentation -- but not "equal footing" in the absence of equal evidence. Xoloz 07:23, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. I'd vote for "merge and delete", but that's an incompatible vote. I'd vote for "merge", which would leave a redirect; but then I'd have to rfd the redirect. P.S. I agree that the merge should be with Creation Science. — Fingers-of-Pyrex 02:03, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
Merge with Dendrochronology, which is the subject in question. If something else is done with it, there should least be a mention on the dendrochronology page. Christopher Parham (talk) 02:29, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
Delete Silly title, POV, no value. --Mintie 04:03, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete Even the title is POV. Might be able to merge into Dendrochronology. Pburka 04:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge content to Dendrochronology. A redirect seems unnecessary, but I take no position on the redirect. Xoloz 05:51, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge anything useful to dendrochronology, no redirect. It might be true, but it isn't neutral, so it needs to be NPOV-ified first. — Ливай | ☺ 06:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Yes, it starts to address this non-issue. (Or this issue, if you (a) have just arrived from the nineteenth century or earlier, or perhaps (b) live in red-state USA.) Merge within Creation science -- not dendrology; see Bensaccount's comment above -- and redirect. -- Hoary 07:05, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
- Although I too appreciate the wit of Bensaccount, I think the Creationist's "theory" will be more readily and obviously debunked at Dendrochronology. Putting it at Creationism or whatever only piles fiction on fiction and obscures the question. Xoloz 07:16, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
If it questions the reliability of Dendrochronology it should be merged there. We need to preserve the history per GFDL, (maybe copy to the talk page and then delete the redirect, seems to be appropriate for transwikies, so why not for merges...) - Mgm|^(talk) 07:49, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Merge into Creation science and Delete this silly article name without a redirect. As there is no consensus on where to merge this content yet, I reverted the merge by Anthony Appleyard into dendrochronology. I believe it belongs in creation science, but a link or "see also" in the dendrochronology article would also be appropriate. - Jersyko talk 14:05, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
See the guide to Votes for deletion on top of the VFD page. Merge and delete is not a valid option. We need to preserve the edit history when merging. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:17, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)
Comment: This is a POV on dendrochronology and should be present there, not at the page of the viewpoint to which it is attributed. Placing it on creation science makes very little sense. Right now scientific criticisms of creation science take up about half that article; perhaps we should move all that content to pages like evolution and leave a see also. I'm sure the creationists would be highly amenable to that change. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:45, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

Added on behalf of Wetman. He/she marked this article for speedy deletion. IMO, it doesn't match any speedy criteria, so I'm adding it to VfD instead. Abstain for now. (I may come back and vote later.) — Bcat (talk | email) 02:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: Here's some history for those just coming to this VfD, and also a request for help. 67.180.141.230 created the page using content from [6]. Wetman marked it for speedy deletion as vanity. I removed the speedy notice and added the page to VfD on his behalf. I then commented here that I thought this was a copyright violation. Pburka replaced the page with a copyvio notice and added it to Wikipedia:Copyright problems. User:67.180.141.230 then commented here and on the copyvio page that the site's legal policy had been changed to place the content that was in the article into the public domain. At this point, I'm not sure if I should revert the copyvio notice or not. — Bcat (talk | email) 00:55, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Creole English

I'm not quite sure what to do with this article. Is it necessary? I'm not an expert on dialects of English but I noticed on List of dialects of the English language that there is a section on Pidgins and Creoles but no link to Creole English. Two articles link to Creole English however: Trinidadian Creole English and Tobagonian Creole English. Both articles say that they are dialects of Creole English. Should we include this article on the List of dialects of the English language article? Please help. Thanks. ---User:Hottentot

Keep and Cleanup. I'm not sure how language article naming conflicts should be resolved, but the topic is a notable one, so no need to delete. Xoloz 06:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. It probably needs a re-name too, since there are plenty of English-based creoles besides Carribean ones. I don't know to what degree these creoles are intercomprehensible with English (and thus to what degree they are either dialects or separate languages), but mentioning them on the List of dialects probably wouldn't cause any problems. — Ливай | ☺ 06:26, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. Notable linguistic topic. Capitalistroadster 10:20, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Creole is a name for a group of languages and a mechanism by which a new language forms. This article approaches the subject from the point of view of linguistics, whereas the List of dialects of the English language is more concerned with demographics. Inconsistency need not be a problem if you don't want it to be, but it would be nice to have this article fitted in as a link from the list as a "see also". --Tony Sidaway|Talk 11:37, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Delta_Tau_Delta

This article is repeatedly used to disseminate secret ritual information of the Delta Tau Delta Fraternity and this is a clear violation of the national fraternity's policies towards the protections of such information. If this continues the abuse will be reported to the national fraternity

Keep? I'm not sure what to make of this. The article is fine and certainly belongs here, but the complaint seems to be about an edit war going on between two anons as to whether the organization's "secret word" should be posted. No need to list it here, as anyone can see it in the edit history. Having once pledged a fraternity myself, I appreciate the importance of secret words and such to these organizations. Having since grown up, I appreciate the utter silliness of the whole thing.

        Hey now, Kappa, I'm not particularly quick on the draw to delete articles - I put fair labor into researching this, and found nothing but similarly-worded collections of impossible claims. To wit: "The first Korean nation, Han-gook (also pronounced whan-gook), was established in 7,197 BC and lasted 3,301 years". Google shows 239 English language pages for "Bai dal" -Wikipedia, (many of which are still not actually in English) and I tried quite a few of them. There are about 40 actual pages, and a lot of smoke and mirrors. -- BD2412 ^talk 17:42, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
        
        BD2412 I know you researched this topic, and I thank you for doing so. However I find your hypothesis that "some kid" made the whole thing up to be rather implausible, and certainly not proven, which is why I vote for it to be kept with a "disputed" tag until someone with more specialized knowledge or skills can check into it. Kappa 19:07, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        
        Then I must revise my analysis to say that some person made the whole thing up. -- BD2412 ^talk 22:25, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
    - If you mean that he posted something else 2 minutes before his vote, that doesn't mean he couldn't have done research previously. In any case, there's certainly no minimum research time required before one votes, and calling it out like this veers uncomfortably close to a personal attack. I think an apology to Radiant is in order. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:52, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
      - OK I apologize to Radiant, it was badly worded and I was irritated when I said it. However I'm pretty sure that BD2412 is the only 'delete' voter who has done any significant amount of research, I'm happy to be corrected on this. Kappa 19:07, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete: The article is a mixture of facts to create a synthetic that's unverified and hoax-ish. "There were people in America 30,000 years ago." "Canada was settled 300 years ago." "The ancient American civilization was ruined by Canadians." That kind of thing. Not wicked, but not true, and not encyclopedic. Geogre 15:09, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  - - Comment: Kappa, I'm glad you're concerned with the "proper" thing to do. What would be the correct thing for an author to do? Would it be A) Write whatever you want with the expectation that Kappa will vote "keep" for it? B) Present verifiable and verified information, along with references? This article fails its duty as an article. It violates the deletion policy. The "proper treatment" of things that violate the deletion policy is to vote "delete," not castigate other voters for not agreeing with you. Geogre 19:56, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    - Unfortunately I can't verify any statements about an ancient Korean civilization ruling China. But conveniently, there aren't any such statements in the article. I note that he made the more conservative statement "unverified" rather than the very confident-sounding "unverifiable". Kappa 19:07, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Unverified claims, no sources given. The article was marked as needing verification on May 30, and it still has no sources three and a half weeks later.

Weak keep with clean-up. I believe this is actually a fairly well-known "legend" held by many Koreans and should have an article to discuss it but it would need to be in a factually-based way on the unverifiable legend.

Keep.

I have removed the VfD tag from the article. Filiocht | Talk 13:03, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Using a User subpage doesn't expose the article to the Wiki for collaborative expansion. Huge disadvantage, in my opinion. --Un focused 14:43, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

True, but you need at least a decent stub to avoid deletion. Have at least a little meat to the article before letting it loose for collaboration. - Mgm|^(talk) 17:32, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. In its very brief life, this article was created, speedied, had that tag removed (by me), deleted anyway, recreated, and now listed here. All in one day! If the author was so inclined, they would have every right to feel that they were being picked on. No wonder some people become hardcore inclusionists. Filiocht | Talk 12:31, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: There is no excuse for ignoring the deletion policies to vote "keep" on every article that has "school" in the title. Some schools, like some donut shops, are notable. Most are just replicate institutions. Geogre 15:14, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Lest I appear to be making a personal attack, let me explain: is there any other category of article where it is an automatic keep? Towns are evaluated one by one. Scientific theories, computer projects, wars and battles -- all are evaluated case by case -- but "Lincoln School is in Nebraska" is supposed to be an automatic keep? I understand that some people get petulant after an article they wrote goes on VfD, but active disruption like "keep all school-named articles, no matter what's in them" is, to me, breaking the project. Geogre 16:40, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It's a stretch to say that wars are evaluated case by case. Also, there seem to be plenty of people who would vote keep on any verifiable town. Christopher Parham (talk) 16:59, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

For instance, read comments at this recent vfd. Christopher Parham (talk) 17:03, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

That's awful, alright. I can only hope that's an aberration where the "I hate VfD so I vote keep on everything" folks combined with some people who didn't read the article. Case by case is the only thing called for in the guidelines. Case by case for anything, and article by article, not topic by topic. Geogre 20:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Depends on the context. Lots of things are nominated based on notability. If I think all schools, or all places are notable, then a case by case study is only going to produce keep votes for all such articles. It's a false assumption to say that the "keep everything" folks aren't looking case by case. In many cases, all they have to check is that the article is about a school, and they can vote their keep. Christopher Parham (talk) 20:18, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

Delete - Wikipedia is not an almanac, or for that matter a crystal ball. What Iani said. FreplySpang (talk) 15:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It does not take a crystal ball to accurately predict astronomical events. In fact, it takes science and mathematics. Also:

Wikipedia:What is an article: "A Wikipedia article is defined as a page that has encyclopedic or almanac-like information on it"

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a crystal ball: "However, predictable astronomical events...are apropriate topics for articles."

Thus, cautious keep, although it probably needs some reorganising and a rename, but the concept of such a consolidated list in Wikipedia is fine. sjorford →•← 16:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. We have, since mid-2004, 4th millennium, 5th millennium, 6th millennium, 7th millennium, 8th millennium, 9th millennium, and 10th millennium. They already included astronomical predictions, expanded by the creator of this article. Whether Regulus occultations by Venus are important or not should be debated there, not here. A very old astronomical software I use confirms that Venus is in fact close to Regulus at few random picked dates. It isn't accurate enough to comfirm the occultation. As the article spans dates starting from 10 032 It should me moved to 11th millennium and beyond (which would be split if/when it gets too large), or to 11th millennium (with a note that it includes further dates that should be split later), or split by millennia which is my favourite solution. I'd glad to do whatever looks best according to this discussion if the articles survives. The site links must be removed as irrelevant, I'll do so as soon as I can.--Nabla 18:48, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

Keep but move to 11th millennium and beyond as per Nabla. It saves us having a string of individual millennium articles beyond the 10th Millennium article already in place. Plus the astronomical events are scientifically predicted which is a bit different than crystal ball-gazing.

Keep and move to 11th millennium and beyond. Future astronomical events are encyclopedic, and some are rare enough that they don't happen anytime in the next 8000 years. Also, if you look at the century articles, pretty much everything from 24th century on is a list of astronomical predictions and science fiction references.

[edit] List of alternative, speculative and disputed theories

I created this page in the hopes that it would be useful as a kind of watchlist for pseudoscientific theories, and as a collection of curious crackpottery in the style of http://crank.net/ . I guess I was forgetting that I was creating the page on a wiki, instead it became a magnet for the kinds of people who support these theories. They would claim that the page is inherently POV, and I'm ashamed to admit that they were probably right. The other thing they have done constantly in the two years since this page was created, is add various mainstream theories to the page, in an effort push the POV that these mainstream theories are just as legitimate as whatever minority theory they support. These efforts have been largely successful, since most Wikipedians are not prepared to argue such a subjective point on such a regular basis. I have copied the page to my user space (User:Tim Starling/List of crackpot theories) and modified it to a mainstream POV, for the benefit of Wikipedians who wish to use it for monitoring crackpots. I'm now more than happy for the main namespace copy to be deleted. Tim Starling 14:12, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

Comment Tim, as a matter of fact, I do think an article of this kind is a good adition to an encyclopaedia. I don't know how to vote for it yet. Abstain for now.-Poli 14:58, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
Move to List of fringe theories or a similarly clear title. --brian0918™ 15:10, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- It was originally at List of speculative or fringe theories. It was moved in February 2004 by Eclecticology. This was accepted by consensus. He said at the time "I can accept the change in the title from "sciences" to "theories". I pondered that possibility myself and decided that "science" in some usages was a much broader term. It was "fringe" in the old title that I found unacceptable." -- Tim Starling 16:20, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Alternative, speculative or disputed theories are those that don't (yet) enjoy mainstream support. String theory would be a good example of such a theory, phrenology and astrology also, though the latter two have been falsified to the satisfaction of most observers whilst the theorists are still trying to work out how to falsify string theory. Intelligent design should be on the list because it doesn't have a scientific framework--it's an inference from ignorance. Creationism in its "Young Earth" form is falsified and old-earthers' hypotheses tend to founder on lack of parsimony. Not an article that is without problems, but a very good resource and shouldn't be deleted. Brian's idea of moving could be considered after this VfD, it may have some merit. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- In that case, it may be a better idea to split the article up into sub-articles, or sub-headings, separating "alternative", "pseudoscientific", "disputed", and "speculative" theories. Otherwise, you're giving as much credit to astrology as you are to string theory, when the latter is an actual scientific theory. The simpler solution seems to be to go with the original intention of the author and stick to "theories" that don't have the potential to become part of mainstream science. --brian0918 ™ 15:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Well, some of these theories are fluid, and in any case there may be quite a lot of overlap. I don't have a problem treating astrology as "an actual scientific theory" because if it couldn't be formulated in a scientific manner we couldn't put it on the list. Typically astrology is falsified by examining birth data and testing correlations between independently produced lists of character traits and astrological readings produced independently by individual astrologers from the same data. There are interpretations of astrology which cannot be falsified in this way (for instance, astrological consultation as a kind of counselling), but those are not scientific. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 15:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Almost every scientific theory is disputed by someone. You can't list them all and still be able to make a serious claim to NPOV. Nor is it useful to mix up respectable mainstream proposals such as string theory with pseudoscience such as Time Cube, that just causes offence. The problem is, there's no NPOV way to draw a line between the two categories. It's just a troll-magnet. -- Tim Starling 16:20, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- While I agree that "almost every scientific theory is disputed by someone", there are good criteria for determining if a hypothesis is fringe science, is falsified, or of indeterminate status (String theory is close to being a legitimate theory, but currently lacks demonstrable predictive power) etc. If you missed out string theory then it would be POV, and we shouldn't be worried about causing offence (to whom?) Troll magnet? That's Wikipedia. Look, are we making an encyclopedia or trying to win a popularity contest? --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:24, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete there is too much crackpottery on wiki; it needs rolling back William M. Connolley 15:50, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC).
Keep, excellent piece and entirely appropriate here jamesgibbon 15:53, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete Technically, every theory would fall under speculative and disputed, since if there were no question at all, it would be a law rather than a theory. While I can see the merit in an article like this (by keeping crackpottery out of the other articles), I feel that we should respect the author's wishes to delete it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:58, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Two notes: "Scientific theory" and "theory" are two different terms, with different meanings (summarized by another user below). Also, "respecting the author's wishes" isn't really valid on Wikipedia. --brian0918 ™ 19:25, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep, and I'm afraid that "Starblind" does not understand what the term "theory" means. A scientific theory is just as factual as a law. And whether the author likes it or not, I think this page is useful and treats of an important topic - not of what is right, but what people consider right even when it is highly delusional. Deleting this page would be blinding ourselves to the facts just as much as they are blinded to the facts. Franc28 18:51, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, its a fascinating list. I can see that its a dispute magnet, and would need active patrolling. But then, so are many/most articles on religion and politics, and WP has many articles on religion and politics; dispute does not mean 'not a valid article'. Many religion/politics articles have NPOV stickers slapped on them. Note article has categorization problems: polywater was an academic disaster from a highly regarded and respected researcher. Time-cube by contrast is crank, in which only one person on this planet believes in. Luminiferous aether was once a respected theory ... I'd like to see a distinction between "theories that were once taken seriously by academics" and "theories that were never taken seriously" (i.e. crank topics, creationism). linas 19:18, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Ahh, I see the problem. Tim's original list had only crackpot theories on the list. But then someone started adding non-crackpot, highly-speculative-but-academically-acceptable theories to the list. And thus it becomes a complete mess. How about we rename the thing to the pejorative list of crackpot theories? That would clarify the issue a whole lot. linas 19:49, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - I was all for keeping it until this batch of changes was made, and left uncontested for two weeks. The inclusion of force carrier and reincarnation was particularly inappropriate. An article becomes unmaintainable when the population of editors wanting to bias the article towards a particular minority view greatly outnumbers the number of editors willing to fight for NPOV. About the name change: don't you think that would offend the many editors who hold those beliefs? -- Tim Starling 20:28, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
  - Tim, what you're describing here is a good case for cleanup. We don't delete articles just because they've been edited into a non-neutral state. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:02, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, I have to change my vote; I can now see that Category:Pseudoscience, Category:Protoscience an the various sub-cats, such as Category:Pseudophysics and Category:Pseudoarchaeology provide a much more complete and comprehensive view of the subject than this list does. I just wish that WP software provided a mechanism to allow watching of the addition or removal of an article from a category. (without having to watch the article itself). linas 1 July 2005 16:06 (UTC)
Abstain. Upon further review, I withdraw my vote. I see that this article looks a lot healthier then I remember it being. It looks to be a good intro to the topic of pseudoscience. linas 1 July 2005 16:18 (UTC)
Keep. Sorry, Tim, but I will never vote to delete articles on the sole ground that they're hard to maintain, either because they run the risk of POV or because people with dubious ideas start attacking it. If anything, it's a sign that you may need to rethink the list criteria and make them even clearer, to prevent as much debate as possible. Maybe even a move. That is material for the talk page, though, not a deletion debate. Once you've done that, and there's still a lot of heat, you're down to digging the trenches and hoping the community will take care of it.
The article itself is fine. What the others have said: this list itself is not passing judgement on the theories listed (and "theory" needs to be taken in its scientific meaning), it only lists articles in which notable views of the theory as alternative to mainstream, speculative or disputed are discussed. That's verifiable, and not POV. Hate the editors, not the article. JRM · Talk 21:44, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)
Delete Alternative to what? Every theory is speculative; that's why it's a theory and not a law. --Xcali 21:54, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Mmmmm... ignorance. --brian0918 ™ 21:58, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, you bet. Suckers. --Infradig (andrew) 22:31, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- See this person's previous user page to see who we're dealing with:
  
  "I do not believe in the RST any more than I believe in Relativity, String Theory, Nuclear Theory or any other scientific theory. To me doctrinal belief in a scientific theory is as absurd as belief in a bank (whatever that means). I do however find the RST highly (almost uniquely) unusual and it has maintained my interest (though not always actively) over many years."
- --brian0918™ 22:35, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  So what exactly is your point? I supported a fringe theory that was deleted but perversely believe this page itself should not exist. I see no contradiction. Also, please stop adding useless personal attacks to peoples comments, its against VfD policy. --Infradig (andrew) 05:09, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - What personal attacks? Saying "ignorance"? I'm ignorant of things too. We all are.... especially YOU! :) --brian0918 ™ 18:31, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Self-confessed crackpot-stuff is by definition not-encyclopedic and just draw flies to the ointment. Equally, per comments above: every theory has its disputations and thus every single one of them would need to be collected here. The scientific, the sociological, the economicsical (esp. these ones!), the political ad nauseam. Congrats to the author for deciding to VfD it. -Splash 23:10, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
Keep These theories exist, and some of them exist famously. I consider this to be an excellent compilation of contemporary and traditional non-mainstream thought. Supporting these ideas does not follow from listing them. I have always felt that the best way to out a kook was to expose his ideas. Denni ☯ 00:12, 2005 Jun 25 (UTC)
Keep but rename. If the title was more to the point it wouldn't be such a problem. I don't think "draws flies" is a great reason to delete something (might as well delete a lot of other topics if that is it). If it was renamed so that it was clear that this is a list of things which are not accepted by the mainstream scientific community as legitimate, I think it'd be a lot easier to deflect people. IN ANY EVENT, I don't think it is has drawn more POV pushers than most controversial articles do. --Fastfission 00:27, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and NPOV as needed. Interesting list. --cesarb 02:04, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep excellent well summarised list. JamesBurns 03:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep - IMHO the only reasons to delete soenmthing like this would be if it were proved to be seriously POV, was being used as a cruft-generator, or if it was irrevocably edit-warred. As a list it is surely admirable. --SockpuppetSamuelson 08:22, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
keep. I would suggest that point 5: Adhered to by a limited group be dropped as a criteria for incusion in the list. This is too vague and will lead to disputes. Only crackpot theories should be iuncluded. To decide whether or not you are dealing with a crackpot theory is simple. just check out peer reviewed scientific journals (with the exception of the Journal of Creation Science, of course).

Count Iblis 15:58, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. When I saw it going by on Recent Changes I fully expected it to be deletable junk; but it's not: it's an excellent list, NPOV, and a fascinating read. Title is fine with me. Antandrus (talk) 16:07, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I don't usually participate in VfD debates, but since Tim mentioned my comments when this list received its present title, I felt that I should. Thanks for mentioning it, and I still agree with what I said then. The consensus at the time was with the intent of finding a term with a broad acceptibility. It had to satisfy the scepticism of mainstream science without descending into the pejorative. It also had to make a home for a wide range of subjects with varying degrees of acceptability, and recognize the fact that the adversaries for any two given subject will vary. If this list is to be abandoned then we will need a better compromise that does all this and more. Eclecticology June 28, 2005 09:16 (UTC)
Keep. The list is actually useful to me and I would hate to lose it. It is bound to be somewhat POV, given the nature of disputed theories, but it retains its broad interest. It may benefit from a narrower mission, however. Perhaps separating the theory groups would lower the level of wingnuttery.S.N. Hillbrand 30 June 2005 13:19 (UTC)
Delete - the range is too huge, criteria too broad, and the scope for abuse too big (on either side of the issues) to be useful. What would be useful is an article on how to evaluate the merit of theories. Pseudoscience is blatantly POV. --Leifern June 30, 2005 23:20 (UTC)
- Note: Leifern is claiming that the term "pseudoscience" is inherently POV, not that the article is POV. See the article's talk page. While I agree with him, Wikipedia is no place for original research. --brian0918 ™ 30 June 2005 23:28 (UTC)

keep. This is very useful as a place to catalog disputed theories. Even if not presented as fact, such theories need to be presented as ideas for the encyclopedia to be complete. The name is as un-POV as it can get, and although the potential for abuse is high the alternative (of trying to ignore such theories) sweeps a body of human knowledge -- the study of alternative theories in their own right -- under the rug.

keep but revise. This is a useful list. Part of the trouble is that this has come to include all kinds of things. For example, luminiferous aether and the steady state theories were widely accepted for quite some time, but now are discredited. Others are new and under active consideration (such as string theory) or are subject to ongoing debate (such as creationism). Perhaps a notation such as:

* Luminiferous aether (discredited) ...

could be used. Other designations could include

"disputed" (for previously accepted theories that are now "on the ropes"),
"alternative" (for newer theories that may be accepted in the future),
"fringe" (for theories with staying power that have only a limited following), and
"unaccepted" (for theories like creationism that have a popular following but are not accepted by the scientific community. Hopefully this will give that entry some needed NPOV.)

["Crackpot" should never be used: Not only is it an insult, but if something is really crackpot (in that it lacks a following) it should not even appear in Wikipedia.]

Do realize that in times past, both relativity and continental drift would have been included here. --EMS | Talk 1 July 2005 20:33 (UTC)

Keep. If a better title and criteria can be developed then move. This is a good and useful article. -Willmcw July 1, 2005 21:02 (UTC)
Delete. There is no solid criteria as to what qualifies as "alternative, speculative and disputed theories". Virtually everything has been disputed at some time or another. I fail to see why creationism is included when it is disputed by evolutionists, yet evolution is not included when it is disputed by creationists. (I'm an evolutionist, by the way). Dsh34 2 July 2005 23:44 (UTC)
- That is just the name of the article. How about you try reading the article. --brian0918 ™ 3 July 2005 00:11 (UTC)
Keep. It's a shame the alternative theory folks are so determined to prove their idea is right that they risk losing a resource that may actually increase their following (and perhaps attract someone who may eventually prove their ideas correct to the larger scientific community), as well as widens the viewpoint of researchers who don't necessarily believe them, possibly leading to advances on other fronts. This is a great resource for rainy day reading, as well as sparking interest in other areas, such as the history category of Wikipedia. Hopefully, the announcement that there has been trouble will assist with keeping an eye on this page, although I'd suggest mentioning these problems to the larger Wikipedia community, for further help regarding this situation. As far as the "theory acceptance is always changing" argument, we need to keep in mind that Wikipedia is always changing as well, and as such, should continue to reflect those changes as they are made. The important part is the theory's status at the present time.-- Scott_R 13:53, Jul 3, 2005 (EST)

From author- newbie, as you can see-... I'd be more than happy to remove the link to the "further information", if that's what's got everyone upset. You should be aware, though, that I make no money from my involvement in MicroLan. I just find it a lot of fun. A lot of people DO make money from it, though, and it has been a serious technology since at least 2000. If Wikipedia wants to have no entry, so be it. In the past 48 hours, I've seen MicroLan products controlling the cash register in a major food retail chain and being used as at "watch-the-watchman" device in a shopping mall.... Hope I haven't further offended anyone by any clumsyness in this post!

--- When I searched on "1-Wire" I got no hits.... yes, I did search before presuming to post. I've used computers since 1968, so if Wikipedia's search engine misunderstands my search request, I'll be there are other people who are not seeing things that are no use to them if they don't see them. The 1-Wire page, subsequently found via link above, CERTAINLY has ad links to commercial sites benefiting from sale of the devices... not that I mind... but I wonder why the "delete it" brigade didn't attack those links?

--- If anyone wants to re-write the note to make the style more acceptable, I thought that was what wikis are all about? I hope you'll leave the INFORMNATION in place, as that was the point of putting the article in place.

--- The 1-Wire article is all well and good, and I'd be delighted if someone links my page to that, but if you were new to the technology, would you want to start with the 1-Wire dissertation, or the intro I've written?

--- I thought the article told people about 1-Wire and MicroLan... told them what it is. I presume they would only arrive at the page if they were trying to find out what they are.

Tom- original autor of page25 June 2005 11am, UK

Comment Tom, there is already an article called 1-Wire that discusses this technology. I am, too, an engineer and a hobbist, and I can understand the relevance of such technology. You can go and insert all the information you want in 1-Wire. Please take a look at the Wikipedia:Tutorial if you are a new user, to get used to the wiki collaboration. This article (1-Wire) also needs a lot of content addition and copy-editing, so, there is lot of room for improvement. You can help that improvement, you know. I thought the VfD for your article inadequate, as deletions only apply to articles that don't belong to an encyclopaedia. Every article that deals with some encyclopaedic theme can be recovered. There is no such delete and restart, you just edit, erase everything and start over. But now, as there is already an article dealing with the technology, a redirect from one another is the best option, as two articles dealing with the same thing aren't good for wikipedia. 1-Wire isn't in VfD, you can insert all the content you want, change it as you want, and get the technology known.

[edit] Chaotic gravitational waves

Appears to be someone's pet quantum gravity theory. The paper cited looks good, but has no bearing on the article's claims, making the article original research. Despite requests, no supporting documentation has been forthcoming for the article's claims about a gravitational "uncertainty principle" and claims that this "reconciles the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics".--Christopher Thomas 16:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep as a references have been added and this article is necessary to balance the view that quantum gravity is the only way to resolve the conflict between relativity and quantum mechanics. If there may be gravitational explanations of quantum phenomena, a balanced presentation is needed. (unsigned comment by 216.15.32.45)
- Considering that anyone can post an abstract on astro-ph, this isn't very compelling. Hunter Monroe just appears to be spamming this paper everywhere. It hasn't been published in any peer-reviewed journal. I consider it highly suspect until it is. --Etacar11 01:03, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Sock puppet watch: this is 216.15.32.45 (talk • contribs)'s 6th edit.

Additionally, while this does appear to be the paper that the text of the article was based on, it still is of questionable notability. The paper was published on arxiv (lax submission standards compared to the more respected printed journals), and citations to it from elsewhere haven't (yet) been shown. As it seems to pull section 3 (on which the article is based) out of thin air, without providing the math to back up its statements about uncertainty, I doubt many researchers will have taken this seriously enough to respond to it, much less cite it, but anon is welcome to continue trying to dig up supporting papers. It at least took care to note that it was making an _analogy_ to the Heisenberg uncertainty principle, which the article doesn't adequately distinguish. --Christopher Thomas 01:06, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Shennanigans alert - The first draft of the arxiv paper dates from 21 June 2005. The article was created on 22 June 2005. There's probably a violation or two of self-promotion guidelines happening here. --Christopher Thomas 01:10, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete yeah, original research. --Etacar11 01:24, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

MoveIf anything this article is misplaced as part of quantum gravity. The subject is more classical Chaos theory than quantum gravity. To people who have studied statistical mechanics and chaos in detail this is not original reserch in fact it seems to me that this article is old news. --Hfarmer 08:17, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

First I am not the author of the page in question I do however have a strong interest in the matter at hand.

What would it take for you to not think this is original research? A physical reviwe D-15 article specifically about the effects of the brownian motion of distant unseen objects on hypothetical measureing equipment? That is all the article refer's to, brownian motion of experimental equipment due to random gravitational waves. The article itself is almost compleatly classical in it's physics. If anything this article should be moved to a page dealing with Classical Chaos theoryinstead of quantum gravity.

--Hfarmer 08:33, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It would take a paper talking about the specific points in the article, which you grossly understate by labelling them "Brownian motion". The author specifically claims that they derive an "uncertainty principle", and that the idea of chaotic gravitational waves "reconciles the incompatibility between general relativity and quantum mechanics". Brownian motion does neither (you can still measure where the object is, measuring its position or momentum doesn't perturb its position or momentum substantially, and Brownian motion has no relation to unifying gravitation and quantum mechanics). For that matter, the Brownian motion arxiv paper doesn't mention or rely on _chaos_, either, so I'm having trouble seeing why you want to file it there.--Christopher Thomas 15:00, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Change my vote to Delete. Here is why... Well it would be nice if the author of the actual paper would visit his article and support it. I cannot provide that. let us assume for a second that this is all above board and this person is a physicist of some standing. Say a university professor. I took a course in Statistical physics and chaos from such a person last semsester. If the author is much like the professor I took this that course from ( which is why I provided textbooks as backup for the article) then all of this seems so obvious to him that he could not imagine anyone having serious questions on the matter. That must be why the person who wrote this will not defend their work. They may not realize that it would be in question. As for any jerk accusing me of using the "sockpuppet" technique compare my editing style say in the Loop quantum gravity article. A week or so I rewrote it to get rid of the flamewar that the article itself had turned into. People seem to like it. Does this new article which usees NO Wiki code or Latex look likesomething I would do?

--Hfarmer 28 June 2005 04:39 (UTC)

Nothing I've seen shows that this Hunter Monroe person has any standing in the physics community, it appears that he works at the International Monetary Fund. Of course, lots of physicists work in finance, but I've seen nothing explaining the credentials of this guy. (Feel free to present something, of course) And as for his reason for not coming back and defending it...lots of people spam stuff to wiki and then never come back to say a word when it's up for deletion. That always speaks volumes about the item in question's importance. --Etacar11 28 June 2005 04:56 (UTC)

Delete original research. Arxiv entry does not count as an encyclopedia-worthy subject. (I would think that publication and some citations should be necessary before subject can be considered as ready for an encyclopedia.) This is not the place for a scietific peer review, in fact, if one is needed, then that clearly says that the article is original research. Bambaiah June 28, 2005 10:22 (UTC)

[edit] Chung Tat-chi

Perhaps I was not explaining enough last time. I was in HK IMO team and I saw Macau IMO team (can't remember if it was 2001 or 2002) leaving before prizing ceremony because they had to get back and prepare for the coming IOI. And I also knew that some IMO trainees in HK were in IOI training as well because of the similarity between maths and programming. This is not anything surprising for one to take part in both IMO and IOI for a city with small population like Macau and Hong Kong. And I think I should repeat myself again: the level of maths olympiad is far away from maths research, and it can't truly assess one's maths ability because maths olympiad is to solve explicitly stated problems while research is to probe into undiscovered theorems and theories. The latter often needs years of hard work, while the former only takes some hours of thinking. Therefore don't compare it with sports and don't think one will be a maths stars because of performing well in maths olympiad. I speak from my experience in maths olympiad training and in maths undergrad studies. So I ask for a delete of this article. Small potato 17:06, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep I'm sick of these elitist wikipedians trying to decide what is worthy to be educated of. It doesn't matter how notable something is. There's an entry to the X-Factor comic book, for goodness' sake. This movement will mean ten times as much as that piddly little long-canceled publication series and will have an important effect on the state of Michigan and thus it is something and has something of value to it and should be available to educate others with. "Notability" is an excuse. This is worthy to be learned of. With entries of all this obscure stuff, don't hate this movement just because you disagree with its values. --The Blue Spider

Comment This user's only edits involve this page and Bill Kelly's. Although he claims to have edited before as an anon. And Blue Spider, my comment is nothing personal, we just have to watch out for sockpuppets. See WP:SOCK. And, no, I'm not accusing you of being one. But anyone who signs up for an account to vote in a VFD is always suspect. --Etacar11 1 July 2005 14:36 (UTC)

~~Keep. Funny.~~ No, seriously, I mustn't laugh at these crackpots, even though as an (arrogant - added by 218.1.140.9) Englishman the sight of foreigners trying to force one another to speak my language is bound to be richly amusing.

- Keep** Seriously, this isnt a joke. MCME is a group pushing to make English the official language in the state. No bilingual forms in the hospital for muslims. Learn our damn language. If everyone else could handle it, so could you. Now, this idea might not be new, but the coalition was indeed formed by Dr Kelly. (unsigned vote by 69.241.248.95)

Keep I work for the Michigan House and Representative Jack Hoogendyk has introduced a bill to make Michigan the official language of Michigan, he has mentioned this on his campaign website ( http://www.jackformichigan.com/newsstory061505.html ). The fully media push is coming later this month. Jack Hoogendyk was inspired to introduce the bill after meeting with Bill Kelly and his Michigan Coalition for Mandatory English. It seems that Ms. Ectar wishes to have everything related to this person deleted, and I assume she must have some personal reason for hating Bill Kelly, so I won't try to stop her. But if her concern is factual accuracy, you have no choice but to keep. Also, Bill is quoted http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-bloggers/1406088/posts and http://www.cumuli.com/ezines/1432_article.html (unsigned vote by 24.11.80.136, only edits here and on the Bill Kelly vfd)
- No, I have nothing personal against Bill Kelly or this Coalition. I just don't think they are notable enough at this time for inclusion in Wikipedia. --Etacar11 30 June 2005 23:29 (UTC)

Nothing personal? A knife does not make a wife MR Etacar...you know what I'm talking about don't you? (unsigned comment by 218.1.140.9)

I haven't a clue. Are you threatening me? --Etacar11 1 July 2005 16:36 (UTC)
I'm sorry if it sounded like that because you couldn't know the clue. Of course I would not threaten you or want to give you that impression.

[edit] News trade

This expression is uncommon at best. (Many Google hits are just incidental combinations of the two words.) The article itself appears to be an attempt to combine elements that don't belong together.

Delete The article News trade seems more of an essay outline expressing the author's point of view on the news industry pulling together disperate elements into an implied but unclearly articulated thesis. The term news industry (a developing stub) is the common term used to discuss the business and economic aspects of the news business seperate and apart from the reporting function but with inclusion of the social questions related to the news business. Media economics (a developing article) is the common term for larger questions of economics related to media, including news, public affairs programs, documentary films, entertainment (of all kinds), program length commercials, sporting events, religious programs, shopping networks, media ownership, regulation, advertising rates and revenues, and marketing of media outlets. Wikipedia is not a place to invent terms for an original thesis or essay, I'd respectfully suggest the author of the article develop his thesis in a blog or other more appropriate web site or publication.

Delete non notable, copyvio. JamesBurns 03:30, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Obviously. How can somebody seriously base a vfd on an Amazon sales rank? By the same logic, almost every writer before 1900 or in a specialised field (like for example Indology) would be non-notable. This is an author and editor of several important books in the specific field. See also for example: [17], [18], [[19], [20], [21] etc. The article should be expanded however. And maybe Edwin Bryant should be a disambiguation page. The copyvio only concerns the person from the first part of the article. --Avecit 08:50, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What a mess! This article comprises two entirely separate Edwin Bryants. The first is, indeed, a copyright violation (The museum's web site is not GFDL licenced.), and there is no prior non-infringing version of the article. By strict application of our copyright problems procedure, the entire article must go (there being no non-infringing version to roll back to), and the author of the second part of the article, on the second Edwin Bryant, should have been required to rewrite it from scratch in the rewrite article, which User:Lotsofissues should then have nominated for deletion (since xe wants it deleted). I've blanked the copyright violation article, started a rewrite article about the second Edwin Bryant using material from an Amazon search (rather than the original article), and shifted the VFD there. Uncle G 12:20, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC)

Strong Keep. The film is a notable Bugs Bunny cartoon, guest-starring Daffy Duck and Elmer Fudd (which is, first of all, why a merge to Elmer Fudd would not be correct). This is the first of the "Duck Season! Rabbit Season!" films, and is generally considered one of the best Looney Tunes/Merrie Melodies shorts ever made. I have expanded the article as such, and added a link to the film's imdb page. This cartoon short is very much notable enough for its own article; especially if "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe" has its own as well.--FuriousFreddy 19:35, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge with Elmer Fudd. JamesBurns 03:56, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment--Everyone saying "merge with Elmer Fudd"--it's not an Elmer Fudd cartoon, he's a supporting character. If anything, you would merge with Bugs Bunny. But is this short not notable enough for its own article? I know the original stub didn't establish notability, I expanded the article so that it now does.
- Maybe if the "reaction" section were expanded more. --Carnildo 05:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - It's expanded more. I'd be hard-pressed for someone to tell me why this short isn't notable. --FuriousFreddy 06:05, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and dont merge There are more than a dozen other Warner Brothers cartoon shorts that also have their own Wikipedia articles, most of which aren't even as historically significant as this one, and on top of that this article is the best researched and written one about a WB short that I've seen. I wish someone would give the Duck Amuck article this kind of rewrite. One idea I could support is expanding this further into an article about all three short films in the "Hunting Trilogy," as opposed to just this one, but that isn't absolutely necessary. I am actually hoping to see articles (or additional information) about the other two at some point though, if not here then on their own pages, especially Duck, Rabbit, Duck! since it's my favorite of three.--Zequist 4 July 2005 02:48 (UTC)

[edit] Tom Chiu (statistician)

I am renominating this for deletion after it survived last month. This appears to be a vanity entry. "Tom Chiu" paired with SPSS scores 22 Google hits, some of which are mirrors of Wikipedia content. This page mentions his title and describes a fairly typical employee role. Vanity suspected here. In the previous VFD, it appeared this entry would be voted out as a standard vanity delete, but towards the end, two editors without explanation voted keep. It would be helpful this time if all voters provided a reason for their decision. lots of issues | leave me a message 18:15, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Normally I'd be concerned about a month-long gap between nominations, but with five votes total and two unexplained keep votes (one of them being very weak) I think this is an appropriate re-nomination. Delete, does not assert notability, though I am curious why Markaci and JuntungWu voted to keep. Chiu appears to have presented research at an ACM data mining conference and other conferences, but "tom chiu" "data mining" yields only 11 unique hits, and there's nothing that I've found that indicates that research is Chiu's main activity or that he's been active enough to warrant an article. Looks like he's got a technical job and has had some work published in professional journals or presented at conferences. Under that criterion, most of my co-workers (and me) qualify for articles, too. AиDя01D TALK EMAIL 18:35, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Roger Moss (photographer), Roger Moss (park ranger), Roger Moss (lecturer) and Roger Moss (sculptor)

Apparently someone was dissatisfied that the earlier VFD on a Roger Moss resulted in a 'keep', so he is now making a WP:POINT by creating articles on each other Roger Moss that could remotely be found by google. One of them was a published author, so that sounds encyclopedic, but there's not much notability to these four, so delete. R adiant _>|< 19:48, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)

DELETE, put a pair of concrete overshoes on this thing, and drop it into the Atlantic off the New Jersey/Philadelphia coast. Now this sanity-challenged person has gone back to attacking the Roger W.

[edit] Candi Kubeck

ValuJet Flight 592 has a good article covering this incident and Kubeck's notability is only based on that event. This should be deleted and some portion of it perhaps merged with the VJ592 article. Delete Dbchip 19:03, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

Keep as per previous debate as notable pilot. Capitalistroadster 22:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
- Please keep in mind that during the previous vote, there wasn't a substantial ValuJet Flight 592 article, which changes the situation. The subject is only notable for the one event that is documented in that article, so any content about her is most appropriate there. This article is never going to grow or become substantial or have more outbound or inbound links from other articles. I respectfully request that you reconsider as well as others who have previously voted. Dbchip 22:59, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
Delete The entire flight of VJ5982 was about seven minutes long, and very little is known about what the crew did, especially as they lost radio communications and power to the black boxes relatively early in the flight. I have read in an aviation publication an acknowledgement of her that she did immediately declare an emergency and initiate an attempt to return to Miami when she felt the kick of the loose tire exploding in the cargo hold. I do not feel this is sufficient for her inclusion in WP. Tandem 23:12, 27 November 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Nautilus Middle School

Doesn't seem like a notable school and has no good content. Seems like school articles have been debated a lot in the past, but I feel as if there needs to be more than one line to keep it. — Ilγαηερ (Tαlκ) 20:01, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete, that one line is even POV. I urge school inclusionists to leave a link in a school project, let it be deleted and write a worthwhile stub/article in it's place later (or before the VFD ends if possible. You don't need this one line to write that great article. - Mgm|^(talk) 20:13, Jun 24, 2005 (UTC)
- Change to keep, it's no longer a POV substub. - Mgm|^(talk) 08:29, Jun 25, 2005 (UTC)

[edit] A Wizard, a True Star

Doesn't qualify as a stand-alone article. All these individual album entries should be deleted and merged into Todd Rundgren if anything useful can be carried over other than what's already in the article. These are simply a bunch of stubs with the occassional track list tossed in. For the most part, I don't see how they add anything which isn't on the Rundgren page already. -- Dpark 21:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: The following are all similar Todd Rundgren album pages. They were all (?) created a while back, and I left them alone to see if they would somehow flesh out. They have not. I feel they should all be merged/deleted. I simply picked a single one for the VFD since it seemed ridiculous to list them all. -- Dpark 21:28, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Vivephilia

comment: the user inserted reference to this article in Vampire and in -philia

Wait a minute, you haven't checked out everything I got (and I might've forgot to mention, I wrote that page)-- I also put pages for vivephile, necrophile, and a couple others. I made sure it all connects well; no loose ends. Keep it. WAS (actually 24.91.249.184 14:43, 2005 Jun 25 according to edit history. Not re-signed by WAS. Uncle G 04:41, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC))

well, just think about it in terms of this-- you have "vampire", although you don't believe in them; this is basically the medical term for vampirism, so why not believe in it? Most people won't admit easily to believing in life after death, but we still have articles on reincarnation, Heaven, Hell, and the whole rest of the lot. Besides, there are stories about vivephiliacs which are considered to be classic literature by the Library of Congress (I cite Bram Stoker's Dracula as a prime example). I still say we should keep it. WAS (actually 24.91.249.184 21:53, 2005 Jun 24 according to edit history, although later re-signed by WAS. This user's 2nd vote. Uncle G 04:41, 2005 Jun 26 (UTC))

why be so quick to judge? hey, just think this way-- if you say that Judas wasn't a Shylock just because the man came before the description, you're just losing a term which could be used to sum up a frame of mind in its entirety. Dracula came before vivephile, but it doesn't make him any less of one. keep it. WAS (actually 24.91.249.184 22:06, 2005 Jun 24 according to edit history, although later re-signed by WAS.

Besides, in the -phobias section, they have a fear of ducks watching you, taken from a Far Side cartoon; why not allow, in the -philias section, that there be an entry based on Dracula, a classic horror novel?

actually, friend P Ingerson, your comment is completely null and void. You are complaining to me about a completely different entry, one which is basically irrelevant to this entire discussion... I never said anything on the Far Side phobia as being part of my work... it is another story completely! But you digress and miss the point; I think what you meant was 'is there any etymological proof for 'vivephilia'?'. To be quite honest, I thought people could catch on a bit quicker! It's merely the latin opposite of "necrophilia". 'Necro-' is 'dead', '-philia' is to have a lust for. 'Vive-' is 'alive', '-philia' is [see above]. keep it.

I still say we should keep it; more so because it is a one-word description of a personality which has become a synonym for several 'real' terms and ideas in our language and culture (Varney the Vampire, Elizabeth Bathory, and Dracula are, just for starters, are as much a part of vivephilia as Napoleon, Œdipus, and Narcissus are a part of mental complexes-- though they came before there were definitions for what they had wrong with them, they still came to represent the thing in its entirity).

[edit] Kensington Square & "kensington square"

Tagged on Jun 16 but not listed on VfD. No vote.--Nabla 21:30, 2005 Jun 24 (UTC)

On Google, searching "Kensington Square" + "Montreal" gives 279 hits, most not pertinent. "Kensington Square" + "Montreal" + "jazz" gives 94 hits, several of which are local messageboards ("look up Kensington Square it's a Montreal jazz-rock band that's amazing they'll make it big soon") and music festivals. I am not sure what WP:MUSIC would say on this; they seem to be locally well-known, but barely under the bar of notability. I say weak delete, but could easily be persuaded otherwise. jglc | t | c 19:39, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  - If you're going to redirect, try Kensington. But I don't the Square itself is notable enough for that. Would you want to create the precedent that every non-notable street deserves its own redirect? — P Ingerson (talk) 10:57, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - No, I would deeply not want that kind of precedent. But Kensington Square is pretty well known (where I'm from, anyway, which isn't even London). However, by way of reference to Mgm's comment, Trafalgar Square is much more famous in its own right that Kensignton Sq. is. -Splash 14:06, Jun 26, 2005 (UTC)

I created the English version of the article, in the form of a direct translation, as stated in the edit summary. I do not vote for delete or retain either. I would just like to say that I did not translate the article because I support it, but rather:

to draw to the attention of English wikipedians the petty way in which Esperantists attack anyone who criticises their beloved movement, even on wikipedia which is meant to be neutral
to draw to the attention of Esperanto wikipedians what rightfully happens to crappy, irrelevant, POV articles like the ones they have about the Esperanto movement, when put in a well-run wikipedia like the English one.

WP:POINT and all that, yes I know, but this VfD gives some very useful ammo to anyone wanting to knock some sense into the POV-pushers over at eo:

Keep. He is noteworthy because as he left the Esperanto movement, he left a scathing essay which has caused a bit of a stir among Esperantists: Why Esperanto Suppresses Language Diversity: Thoughts on Leaving the Esperanto Movement. Primarily, he was critical of Esperantists not following their mission statement, the [Prague Manifesto]. His arguments have been countered by the UEA in an article "Why Esperanto Supports Language Diversity" (Microsoft Word document, English translation from the original Esperanto). That being said, the article needs to be fleshed out to reflect this. --Yekrats 28 June 2005 18:35 (UTC)
- Culver's essay seems to be something of a mountain made out of a molehill. His arguments were not countered by the UEA, but by a TEJO-volunteer writing in a non-official capacity; although a separate overly-hostile response did appear in the official TEJO bulletin. -Gabriel Beecham/Kwekubo 30 June 2005 03:19 (UTC)
  - Sorry about that (about the UEA misattribution, that is). Yes, indeed, you're right.
    - Even if they didn't write it, the hosting URL -- http://co.uea.org/~tejo/diversity.doc -- does seem to imply some kind of official blessing. (I assume that "co" is "centra oficejo" / central office.) 130.246.132.26 30 June 2005 13:49 (UTC)

The article is somewhat POV at the moment, accepting the Londonistan soubriquet as fact, but it is quite common on Wikipedia for such articles to start out accepting US opinions as fact and become more accurate as time goes on. Freedom fries is one good example of an article that has grown from a very odd POV initiation. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:52, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Very, very Weak keep. Got lots of Google hits, so it is a term. The controversy is real. The POV is fixable. CanadianCaesar 23:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Worthy topic, only needs POV editing as noted. 23skidoo 02:50, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge into Islam in the United Kingdom. JamesBurns 04:00, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep Needs a new title, which I'll think about. Should stay separate from the Islam in the United Kingdom article because London's role as an international intellectual/activist/political centre differentiates it from the rest of the UK. CalJW 00:16, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. Actually, much of British Islamic activism and thought takes place in Bradford, Birmingham, whatever. The role of the capital is primary but not overwhelming. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:27, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep I expect that the Caliph Ken Livingstone will begin collecting Jizyah to pay for social services in the near future. Klonimus 20:24, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Finnish innovation system

How's this relevant? Looks like advertising or something. - Cymydog Naakka 23:52, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Merge to Economy of Finland. JamesBurns 04:02, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. A Google search shows it is the topic of a fair number of articles and a notable economic policy. --Misterwindupbird 06:56, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep I think the subject is relevant because the Finnish system has unique features like large scale public support. I agee that the article is not good at the moment but as a subject I think it is as relevant as the article about Education_in_Finland Pe3 28 June 2005 17:14 (UTC)
Delete, salvage useful info into Economy of Finland. The topic seem too vague, I cannot discern any particular formal "system" that could carry the article. It only seems relevent to the joke play in the front of Spamalot's Playbill. --Eoghanacht 2005 June 28 20:44 (UTC)
Delete. A strange article which does not really fit into Wikipedia. Lots of hype words but not much substance to it. While it may be true that "during last century Finland transformed from a poor and agrarian nation to a prosperous industrialized country", etc, this kind of information should be included in articles like Economy of Finland and History of Finland. (I'm Finnish, by the way.) --Jonik 3 July 2005 17:40 (UTC)

[edit] Daryl_F._Mallett

Someone has added back all of the non-notable content which was deleted in the previous VFD round. This is more evidence that this page is the work of one author and is of little or no use to the Wikicommunity. Perhaps this non-notable entry belongs on a Wikipedia user page instead of an article.Tanstaafl 23:50, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete vanity. He's not in IMDB. Books around 2 million in Amazon sales rank. --Etacar11 02:17, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete vanity/self promotion. JamesBurns 04:03, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
How can you say this in non-notable given the list of professional credits ? or is the argument that some/all of those are fake ? In which case, how, without the fakes being edited out, do we know what we're voting on ? Would this be a userfy situation ? --SockpuppetSamuelson 08:32, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I don't see how he's more notable than a thirtysomething lawyer or doctor. If he's really achieved anything significant, I can't make out what it is amidst all the detail. Delete CalJW 00:23, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. I'm not sure if the whole page is accurate, but a number of the books checked out and are for sale on Amazon. Being the work of one author hardly seems proper criteria for deleting a page. — RJH 18:11, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Extreme vanity—nothing more than vigorous self-promotion. A lot more is claimed in this article than is proven by the meager references provided. Some of it probably can't be verified at all, the verifiable parts would take hours of work to document appropriately and even if that was done, the result would still not be worth it because the subject isn't notable. To answer a question: It's easy to say that the subject is non-notable precisely because of the list of professional credits. Nothing in the article indicates that this individual is more interesting than the average professional writer. The excruciating, mind-numbing detail drives that home with force. If no single accomplishment is notable, having a hundred non-notable accomplishments doesn't add up to encyclopedic notability. The sea of redlinks in the article is alarming. Remove this article before he starts to create articles for all that other non-notable junk. Quale 21:29, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)

So, your agument is along the lines of "when everybody's nobody then no-one's anybody" ? --SockpuppetSamuelson 18:49, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
No, it's simply "Daryl F. Mallett has no encyclopedically notable accomplishments". No crime there, since I along with most of the rest of the world are in the same boat. The difference is that most of us aren't as vain. Quale 22:25, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. He's real, a very minor professional in the SF/fantasy field. For what little it's worth, I actually recognized the name. However, somebody ought to take a blowtorch to that list of credits and related self-promotion; I've never seen anybody take public credit as the "editor" of so much stuff they copyedited/proofread before. Borgo Press was a real and substantial publishing operation, even though most of its output was mindnumbingly bibliographical and sold mostly to libraries, and his status there is apparently legitimate. I wouldn't take the time to write him up myself, and only Daryl would shed any tears if this article was reduced to less than a dozen lines. Monicasdude 01:43, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)
