[edit] Adam ragheb

Non-notable intern for Boeing who is a model aircraft enthusiast. He also makes an unverifiable claim of working on a super secret project. -- Kjkolb 10:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

A7 speedy delete No assertions of notability. Thousands of people worked on the plane project and even if the secret project existed, there is no indication that his role in it was particularly notable. The Manhattan Project was secret at the time but had thousands of people work on it. Not all of those people were notable. Capitalistroadster 11:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I posted this topic orignally. I saw him when I visited Vancouver from Scotland. I bought his CD and was listening to it, and it dawned on he that I should post a topic. He is very good, when I saw his magic show, he had a crowd of 200 plus. When I saw his music, there were people really getting into the music.

The original location of this article Ar15.com had an AfD here which due to repeated nonsensical recreation was protected deleted.

I left a message on his talk page (hopefully nicely phrased). Here was the reply.

Suburb Streets

Hi,

The main reason for adding street pages to my suburb article is to create community. I am publicly proposing that members of our local community participate in this Wiki project so they can add thier collective knowledge of the history of thier street.

From my experience, every street has it's history, as does every family and I think this project provides the mechanism for them to document that. This ranges from previous property owners to various events. I feel this can be helpful especially in researching family history.

On the other hand, I think your point of view might be that it's important to conserve articles so that they can be managed properly. I agree, conserving space and promoting managability is important, however, the alternative might be to have a whole lot of sub-headings within the main article and make the article very long. This has an effect on the usability of an online document in my opinion.

I welcome your comments and look forward to your reply.

While I admire his efforts towards creating community, I wonder if he will be better of using something like blogger. He could then set up blog accounts for every family in his neighborhood to put up photos and the whole nine yards.--Gaff ^talk 02:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete no content --Anetode 03:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete the lot of them. Wikipedia isn't a project to document the history of every small neighborhood out there, and while I can appreciate his attempts to build a local community, that isn't Wikipedia's goal either. There are better tools for that out there, anyway. -- Captain Disdain 03:06, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. I left a message to that effect on his user page.--Gaff ^talk 03:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete - I think that the streets section of Beacon Hill, New South Wales could just be expanded to hold this information. If these somehow survive the afd, the titles need to be re-ordered. (Street first, then city, etc). The way it is now is completely unintuitive. Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Reynolds Crescent; Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Christopher Close; Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Brooker Avenue; Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Boyer Road; Beacon Hill, New South Wales, Spilstead Place also fit the form (some are already listed for speedy). Neier 03:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge them all into Beacon Hill, New South Wales under streets and Delete' individual names. While it would be good to have a detailed history, this should be in the main article rather than under each street. Besides, I don't think that many people will look for it under that name. Capitalistroadster 03:49, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete Yes I am voting to delete my own articles. To keep the peace. Apparently this level of detail is not acceptable in Wikipedia, but has left me wondering what level is appropriate. Any help is always welcome.Peter Konnecke

Delete or Speedy better as either test page in speedy or roadcruft in regular delete --JAranda | watz sup 05:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Merge as per Capitalistroadster. Any historic or interesting information about particular roads could help fill out the beacon Hill article (if there is any such info on any of the pages). Grutness...wha? 08:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete as per Captain Disdain --TimPope 09:47, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Move to proper name and merge and redirect any useful info in the article on the town. Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Please remember that merging requires the edit history to be retained so merge and delete is not a possible vote per Wikipedia:Guide to deletion. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Why are we even having this conversation? These are such obvious speedy deletes it's painful to sit here and watch people vote. Did anyone who didn't vote delete actuallt read these? There is zero content. Literally. Nothing! I believe I speedied a couple of these before they were nominated, and I'm very tempted to do so again. there is nothing to merge! -R. fiend 17:01, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Rename — the article is of a reasonable quality and its subject is notable enough. The company's official name seems to be BigBlueBall.com, although the text of the site often just uses BigBlueBall. I'll move the article to BigBlueBall.com and create redirects to it. --Gareth Hughes 12:35, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Bigblueball.com

Advertising for a website with Alexa rank of 60,000--shockingly, not a porn site. Non-notable commercial website advertising. Meelar (talk) 20:45, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Pains me to say it but Keep, add {{advertisement}} tag and rewrite. "Bigblueball" gets 140k results on Google, 100,000+ posts on their forum from 1,000 active members. Just barely enough to be notable... based on that. Seems to be a somewhat computer-literate site so that can hurt an Alexa rank a tad... people are less likely to be using IE/Alexa. At any rate it meets the criteria of Wikipedia:Websites by having over 5,000 unique forum members (25,662). --W.marsh 21:40, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Shockingly not a porn site? Ouch. At any rate, I created the site; someone else submitted this entry. If it ends up not being deleted, I'd like to edit and add details. jhester
- Feel free to edit it now, that will improve the chances of it not being deleted. See here and here for some guidelines, but basically the article shouldn't read as an advert but simply as a description of what the site is. --W.marsh 21:57, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Article is verbatim text from what is already covered under List of sex positions. Same editor also posting Bagging the bunny and other sex positions as separate articles. vote REDIRECT back to original list. Gaff ^talk 01:39, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete This is at least the second time that this has come back after being deleted. Let original judgment stand. - Gator1 01:41, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment Gator: I see you listed Bagging the bunny for a speedy delete. I propose that both artilces be kept with redirects back to the list of sexual positions. These terms may potentially be entries into search engines and it would be better for the information to be accessible than not. The lits of sexual positions site seems the obvious place for this information to be collected.--Gaff ^talk 01:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete & redirect to List of sexual positions as per Gaff --Anetode 02:46, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to List of sexual positions or Anal-oral contact. --Icarus 04:24, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete with no redirect as it is a neologism not in wide use. It might even be made up, there's no relevant Google hits that I could find and it would be unlikely to be use such a term since it is limited to the first time. -- Kjkolb 07:47, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

*Agreed. The first time I put this up I only briefly read the content. Sounds like a neologism or at best slang that is in limited use. delete.--Gaff ^talk 07:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirect is probably the best thing. This stuff will just keep coming back if we delete it. --Gaff ^talk 07:58, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

BTW, Bagging the bunny was similarly created as an article from the list of sexual positions. It has been deleted spedily (proposed by Gator and deleted by User:R. fiend. If we decide that Cleaning the spoon is a redirect back to the list, then Bagging the bunny probably needs to go the same. Given that this is apparently a contentious issue that has some controversy surrounding it, Bagging the bunny probably should not have been speedied. --Gaff ^talk 21:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to the list, so people typing this in will find the list. Only delete if the original content that was deleted earlier wasn't merged into the list (which disallows deletion because GFDL requires attribution). In fact, just redirect to be on the safe side. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Redirect - think many of these sex positions are fairly obscure, and probably only practised as exoticisms. --MacRusgail 19:48, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment: redirecting would preserve the content, which is currently unverified by even the most disreputable source and is possibly unverifiable. Someone likely made this and bagging the bunny up and including it without proof makes us look foolish. -- Kjkolb 10:14, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

My comment from said talkpage:

I see no references and had no luck finding any info on this poet on google. Admittedly not an exhaustive search. Still, it would be nice if the original contributor of this article could furnish some verifiable references before any of us expend time with editing. How otherwise do we know this is not all a hoax? I picture of the guys book of poetry would be terrific if anyone has access and a scanner.

[edit] Command & Conquer: Red Alert 3

This game was announced in a single mass-e-mail by one guy who was high-up on the development ladder. But he has since been sacked. There has been no word from anyone regarding this title, not even EA. This leads me to the conclusion that it started development but was canned.

Strong Redirect, this article shouldn't be kept, but it shouldn't be deleted either. There will likely be a Red Alert 2 sequel in the future, and this article should just be redirected to the main Command & Conquer page (which already has some stuff about known facts about a possible RA3 from EA, so people looking for RA3 will be sent to the proper place) so it won't have to undergo a vote for undeletion in the future. (BTW Ferret, that email wasn't the first possibility of RA3, it has been hinted by Westwood and EA in the past) Jareand 04:37, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Do not delete There is nothing in this article that isn't a fact. While the author may not be able to completely cite the specific details of each fact, the story is arranged in a non-biased way that proves to be most effective in telling the urban legend of Conor Brogdon. Just because google doesn't have hits for it, it doesn't mean it isn't real. Arizona has a very rich culture of Urban myths and legends. This happens to be one of the more obscure and doubly interesting ones.

visitor About the Polish crown jewels. The original Polish regalia- Crown of Boleslaus the Brave (corona originalis) in 1733 was hidden. But elected king Augustus III was fully prepared for such possibly. He had a new set of regalia made in Saxony for his Polish coronation. The regalia included: crown of Augustus III, crown of his consort Maria Josepha, 2 sceptres, 2 orbs and 3 swords. He and his wife were crowned with them in Cracow in 1734. The regalia of Augustus III and Maria Josepha displayed in Dresden until 1924. In 1925 Polish Government purchased Augustus III’s regalia in Vienna for $ 35,000. The regalia were exhibited in Warsaw at 1939. In 1940 were stolen by the Germans. The crowns were found by Soviet troops in Germany and then sent to the USSR where they remained until 1960. In 1960 the Soviets returned the regalia communist Poland (PRL). Today are deposit in Warsaw's National Museum (not in public display).

[edit] Federal Zapatista state of Chiapas

Doesn't Exist. (hoax?)

I can't find mention of the "Federal Zapatista state of Chiapas" anywhere except here in wikipedia, and in all the direct copies of wikipedia. It's my belief that the Zapatistas don't, in fact, claim such a state.

What they do claim is that there are 32 autonomous municipalities inside Chiapas, but this article cannot address that, and that would probably be best done as a list of the specific municipalities, or maybe a category, and then mention in each of the municipalities articles (if they have been created).

No fixups will make this article useful if there isn't actually such a thing in existance.

--Doviende 16:35, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Seems notable enough in her profession and takes an active role in public debate including writing two books. My understanding is that she is a Wikapedian as User:Jessamyn so this could be userfied if necessary. However, this is not a vanity page and is worth keeping. Capitalistroadster 10:55, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Already passed VfD. Comments on two issues follow. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

1) Notability. Having been mentioned in the New York Times, singled out for special notice in Library Journal, cited in Wired for her anti-PATRIOT-act activities, and being among the first bloggers in history to be given press credentials raises her above the bar for notability. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

2) With respect to vanity: she did not create the article. To most intents and purposes, I did, pursuant to what I would call a "badly executed article request" by an anon. I had never heard of her before an anon dropped in a one-line substub, "Jessamyn West, AKA the Rarin Librarian. One of Library Journal's Mover & Shakers, West is best known for her 'blog, librarian.net." I strongly doubt this anon was Jessamyn West, because a) she already had a Wikipedia profile and had done some minor work on some Vermont articles; b) all of her public writing, in Wikipedia and her blog and in emails to me, is very literate and different in style from the one-liner; c) in an email correspondence with me she displayed a familiarity with Wikipedia policy with regard to autobiography and expressed reluctance to make any direct edits to the article because of vanity/autobiography concerns. When the one-liner landed on VfD I was shocked that we did not have an article on the Indiana author of The Friendly Persuasion; in the process of working it up I concluded that the librarian/blogger should also have her own article. In emails to her I told her that I did not think minor edits would be taken amiss, and she has made a couple, but she has not done any substantial work on the article. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I'm unlisting this because it's an obvious keeper. This doesn't reflect in any way upon the good faith of the nominator. --Tony Sidaway ^Talk 00:18, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

NOTE on third nomination. I'm not sure what's going on here; I'm not going to participate in the edit warring on the AfD notice, but will point out that the particular template used is invalid; if this is to be listed for deletion at all it should be listed as a third nomination. For the record, my opinion remains unchanged: the subject of the article is notable for the reasons I gave before, and the lopsided "keep" vote on the second renomination in which only the nominator favored deletion and there were seven "keep" votes tends to support Tony Sidaway's judgement. The nominator should not use the word "vanity" to describe the article, as Jessamyn West did not create it and has made no substantial edits to it. Dpbsmith (talk) 11:07, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes, he is an officer of the 'Old Colony Council' but that does not merit an encyclopaedic inclusion. Eddie.willers 20:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete per above--Carabinieri 20:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
"THIS MAN HAS A SIGNIFICANCE! John Larney is a significant person because he commands such a large power base throughout New England and the country. Those who cross him regret it and those who win his favor become very comfortable in life." At the risk of never becoming very comfortable in life, I say delete. -- Captain Disdain 21:12, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: As politely requested by JesusSaves, I have reread the article and admit that it is now in far, far better shape than before. That's good. However, I still don't see why John Larney is notable -- frankly, I don't think that scout leaders, even well-established and popular ones, are significant enough to merit articles on encyclopedias without some other accomplishments or, as the case might be, notoriety. I am not convinced by the two references we've been given, for reasons stated very well by Bunchofgrapes below -- I would like to add to that that I'm quite willing to believe that Mr. Larney served aboard the USS Brush during the early sixties, I just don't think that's particularly significant -- if he had he been the commander of the vessel, for example, that might be another thing. That's really my biggest problem here -- the lack of significance. I'm sure he's a nice guy and all, but I just don't see why he merits an entry in an encyclopedia. There are lots and lots of scout leaders out there, and the vast majority of them are not notable enough for inclusion. That's not a criticism on them, it's just that of the well over six billion people living on this planet, a very small minority make enough waves in one way or another to merit an article about themselves. Is this guy a really major mover and shaker in the scouts? If he is, providing some solid references regarding his position and authority shouldn't be that hard. I have yet to see any. My vote to delete stands. -- Captain Disdain 00:19, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Can you not read? What part of the word "National" denotes a worthless local peon? On a separate note, I am fairly new to this whole dealie (in case you can't tell). Is this just a majority rules vote or is there some arbitrator or somting? TheBill 23:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
I just looked up the term "sockpuppet" and I am deeply offended. I am a scout (as if you couldn't tell by the article) Our first Law is Trustworthiness. Each of these users are individuals who know the topic. The reason for thier not having many edits under thier belts is that in this area of the US it is not common to be an official Wikipedia "user".

Delete. Vanity/mild attack page for - I'm guessing - somebody's Boy Scout troop leader, with some bad-faith-looking efforts to confuse the issue in this Afd page, and by adding statements like "THIS MAN HAS A SIGNIFICANCE!", and references to apparently-nonexistent books to the article. In short, not to be too harsh, go play somewhere else please, we're trying to build an encyclopedia here. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 00:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I have added more to express his significance such as his reception of major awards and his military service. The line in question, "THIS MAN HAS A SIGNIFICANCE!", was to combat the speedy delete thing. I gaurantee this is not vanity nor am I attacking anything with this page. Just because you have not read a book doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Also not to be harsh, souldn't you have something better to do than wait around looking for articles to delete because you have no previous knowledge of the subject matter?

Delete - no encyclopedic content or evidence of notability. Sockpuppets don't fool anyone. CDC

I'd just like to make it clear that this is not in any way a vanity article, and I'd like to cite from Wikipedia's Vanity Guidlines:

"An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is presently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia (although consensus exists regarding particular kinds of article, for instance see WP:MUSIC). Lack of fame is not the same as vanity."

So, the sole fact that the search string "John Larney + boy scouts" only procures 21 hits on Google does not consitute a valid reason for the deletion of this article.12.76.164.157 03:01, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

If so all-powerfully influential in the BSA, you'd think he'd get more than 21 Google hits, wouldn't you? In any case, delete as vanity. Boys, there must be an easier way to earn a Merit Badge. --Calton | Talk 02:39, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I think we have already determined that vanity is not a reason for deletion. If you think we are trying to "earn a merit badge" we are all over 18 and therefore considered adult leaders. We do not qualify to earn badges. I suggest that you reread the "Civility" section on your talk page, Calton. You obviously haven't got the point even though many have brought it up. 207.159.182.47 02:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Agreed. I suggest Carlton read over the "Wikipedia: Vanity" article again, since he clearly doesn't understand its contents at this point in time. Vanity is an invalid reason for the deletion of this article, and I find the deprecation of theBill and myself by Carlton to be completely unacceptable.12.76.164.157 02:59, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

- The article has been cleaned up quite a bit now, and the bad faith nonsense is gone; that helps significantly. I'm tempted to change my vote, citing Wikipedia is not paper, but I think there should be something more in the way of verifiability. (Please click on that link if you haven't already.) Do we have any sources of anyone outside of OA talking about John Larney, or even an obtainable OA publication with information on him and his significance? -GTBacchus 04:52, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Regardless of if the individual is notable in the American Scouting community or not, the way the article has been written suggests that the authors are trying to assert greater notability than this person may possess.

I am an Australian Rover Scout, and although I believe that certain members of the world scouting communities hold a level of notablilty within the organisation and their home communities, I also believe that articles on Wikipedia for these people are unnecessary, barring Baden-Powell and possibly some senior members of the World Scouting Organisation.

TheBill, you claim that one of the Scout Laws is trustworthiness. Trustworthiness must first be displayed by the one who wishes to be trusted, and both in the context of this debate and with the methods available to him, Bwithh, along with many other Wikipedians, would be unable to determine the difference between sockpuppets and concerned friends of yours.

If a source that is in wider circulation than the one already provided can be made known and verified by other users, and a notability in correspondance with the views I mentioned above can be proven, I personally would be willing to let this article remain. However, if this information can not be provided by the time of closure for this AFD entry (seven days, I believe), I will have no problems if this article is removed.

Keep first off, i would like to make it completely clear that I am unfamiliar with the puppet lingo happening and am in no such form or fashion a puppet of any kind. and on the note of blaming TheBill for using these so called puppets, can you prove that the former comments were made by puppets? probably not, so if you can't prove it stop pointing the finger at others who are innocent until proven guilty. Now, to the point. Just because you have never heard of a certain person does not mean that they are not notable within their field. For example, my grandfather was the founder and president of one of the most succesful trade show companies in the U.S. and if you asked anyone in the field about him they would most likely know who he is. However, if you were to google his name there are very few hits, maybe a family tree and a bridge club. But this does not make him non-notable whatsoever.

Looking through your rules it seems that the generally accepted mark for inclusion in Wikipedia is about 5000 fans/followers. John Larney has this number. In southeastern Massachusetts alone he has over 1000. Add that to those in the rest of the state and country and you would surpass the 5000 mark. For this reason and the others we have listed above I say Keep. {unsigned vote by User:207.159.182.47}

Keep. Neutral, verifiable and factual article is possible. Trollderella 19:55, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Compromise. It seems someone has decided to clean up the John Larney page. I appreciate the help. Now that it is closer to Wikipedia standards I propose a compromise. We keep the article similar to as it is now, that is cleaned up as apposed to how it was, and you stop trying to delete it. I think this is fair as there are hundreds of pages for Indie Bands and things that no one has heard of or cares about (this from a self-professed nerd who is interested in everything). Deal? User:TheBill 21:03, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: Have a look at WP:MUSIC for the criteria a band should meet to have a Wikipedia page. We delete probably hundreds of band "vanity" pages a month. No agreement has been reached on what the notability criteria are for modern-day biographies, so those are often decided on a more case-by-case basis. Now, personally, I don't think Mr. Larney is notable enough to merit a page in our encyclopedia. That's not an insult - I am not notable enough either, and neither is anybody I know. Others may disagree about notability here (there are some who think notability isn't a criteria at all), and Wikipedia:Verifiability can be a useful tool in deciding cases like this as well. Are there any independent sources we can find, on the web or in a public library, to verify the claims made in a page? It's not enough that facts are true, they must be verifiable. See also Wikipedia:No Original Research - personal knowledge is never an acceptable source for Wikipedia. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 21:43, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment Looking at the current Wikipedia Boy Scouts of America Category Page, I think the benchmark question of inclusion should be that is John Larney as significant as H. Roe Bartle, Ray O. Wyland, or Jon_Fulkerson. Or as notable as "Radioactive Boy Scout", David Hahn. Being a Order of the Arrow award winner isn't enough. Bwithh 21:48, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep. "Meteu from Team Red Fox" brings up a good point. While vanity has already been disimissed as a nonissue, I think that Mr. Larney is noteable enough to justify such a biographical article. Its true that the article needs to be cleaned up, and is still a stub at this point, but I see no good reason to delete it. Bwithh, I agree with your proposition, and I think that as the article expands, it will become clear that his inclusion is justified.Bcaff 21:51, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I agree that being an Order of the Arrow award winner isn't enough to merit inclusion in this encyclopedia. If that were so I would have a page along with over 100,000 other people. He is a DSA recipient wich is a very rare occurance. This is the highest award given by the Order. Imagine the prestigious Eagle Scout. It is completely worthless compared to the DSA. It is like the Medal of Honor for the OA. As this article expands it will become apparent that he is very noteworthy. TheBill 22:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment according to this official scout page, there have been approximately 500 DSA awards since the DSA was established in 1940.

In 2004, a total of 41 DSA awards were won by different scouts. Bwithh 22:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Yes there have been 500 DSAs awarded over the last 65 years. During the Second World War which started in 1941 (for the US)there were 485 MOH recipients. That was in 4 years, much less than 65. Yet many MOH recipients have pages. Don't get me wrong, I'm not trying to degrade the MOH or say that a BSA award is just as good. I am trying to say 500 recipients in 65 years is rare. 207.159.182.47 23:11, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete non-notable, possible hoax chowells 23:29, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Hoax???!!! Have you even looked at the page recently? Now that it has been cleaned up it is not even remotely mistakable as a hoax! That is just plain rediculous.

Keep. This article was obviously started as a joke, when you look at the history that is clear to see. But it has been cleaned up to actual information. In the Order of the Arrow, which is the honor society for the boy scouts and is in all actuality is an organization of its own, John Larney is a significant man. If this article was in its original form I would say delete it. But now it is a real article, and John Larney does have significance. To those who point out that they have never heard of John Larney, Ask you average joe boy scout who the adult head of the National Order of the Arrow is, Ask them who the President of the Boy Scouts is, most won't know those names either. You don’t have to know who someone is, for them to affect policies that have an effect on your life. As for the list of names that you think we should compare the worthiness of John Larney, I have never heard of any of them, and these are the so called people you are ok with. Also, the two examples I made the heads of the organizations, who hopefully you would even concede as being significant aren't even on your list for comparison. John Larney is active in a local lodge yes, but he is also active on a National level. As for the posters who think the 500 DSAs means they must not be all that important, because there are 500 of them, I must correct you. This is 500 people since 1940. There have been tens of thousands of people who have been in the Order of the Arrow, and even more in the Boy Scouts it self that do not have the award. It is the least likely award in the Order of the Arrow that you will recieve as a member. Finaly before I am bashed for this being my first post, I might add that I do use Wiki I just never bothered to type in it before. {unsigned vote by User:Oa164}

Comment if User:TheBill claims to know nothing about sock puppets, why on User_talk:Oa164 did he say "Hey. Who is this? Obviously don't reveal it here but IM me at tisq249. -TheBill Second Vice Chief Tisquantum Lodge OCC 249"? Kinda implies that he was expecting to find some people he knows signing up to vote here. Anyone fancy a meatpuppet? chowells 09:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment Of course people who know TheBill are going to come on here. Gee is it so hard to believe that the same people that know John Larney and the same people who know TheBill are going to overlap in some cases. Do I know TheBill, yes I know who he is. Did he put me up to this, no. Kind of proven by his wanting to know who I was. Someone told me that this page existed and I thought cool I look at it. That someone wasn't TheBill. I then saw it was marked for deletion. I read the comments, I checked out the history of the page. And yes all on my own. If you read my earlier statement I would have dropped the article in a second do to the fact that it had a lot of stuff in it that was pure nonsense, and insulting to John Larney, but not because John Larney doesn't deserve a real mention. What is there now is a real article. A stub, yes, that can easily be expanded on.{unsigned comment by User:Oa164}

That is kinda creepy that you guys are watching my every move! I merely asked who he was because in the OA there is a sense of Brotherhood. In fact it is one of our three principles. Is it wrong to make new friends? Also, as you point out in the quote you took off the talk page, I am a lodge officer and have been active with the organization for years. I know a great many people. It could be someone I already knew. We have vast networks that allow arrowmen from across the country to meet but sometimes we get lost because there are thousands of miles between us. It could be a way to rekindle an old friendship. There are many arrowmen that I would not consider "friends". Get something better to do than yell "SOCK PUPPET" every time you find out I have a friend. Maybe some of you should invest in those. TheBill 16:30, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I move to have this discussion thrown out and start over as most of the delete votes are based on things that have either been fixed or discredited. The "nonsense" has been edited out. We are definately not sock puppets as some people continue to say. Vanity is not a reason to delete an article. Now it is a serious article that has the potential to be expanded upon. He-Who-Shall-Not-Be-Named 19:13, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment: My delete vote stands unless if some verifiable sources are provided for this infomation. The only source listed is "A History of Tisquantum Lodge," no ISBN number. I can find no mention of such a book on the internet, and I doubt my local library has it: this is not a valid source for an article. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 19:41, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

- Let's have a look. Source One is http://www.destroyers.org/smrdd/USS_Brush.html. This appears to be essentially a messageboard where anyone can add info that they, relatives or friends served on the USS Brush. From this, we learn Mr. Larney's email address and that he is "selling real estate". This page, apparently editable by all the world, is not a reliable source for establishing facts about Mr. Larney. Source Two is http://www.ne1b.org/aboutus.php, a page about the Norheast region of the Order of the Arrow. It does establish that Mr. Larney was awarded a DSA, and that he has staffed Section NE-1B's National Leadership Seminar (NLS). So that's a step in the right direction, I have to agree. At this point, the legitimately sourced info in the article is the following: "John Larney is a leader in the Boy Scouts of America associated with Old Colony Council and in particular Tisquantum Lodge 164 (249). He has recieved the Distinguished Service Award, the highest and rarest award given in the Order of the Arrow. John Larney has staffed numerous Order of the Arrow training sessions, including Tisquantum Lodge's annual Lodge Leadership Development (LLD), and Section NE-1B's National Leadership Seminar (NLS)." Trimmed down to that little info, you have to admit that's a pretty small page for an Encyclopedia. And there's not much hope for expanding it, that I can tell. Still, good-faith efforts are being made, and if you want to trim this article down to such a level, I'll retract my Delete opinion. (I'll probably change it to an Abstain -- I still don't think the page establishes notability, which still counts for me.) —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 23:08, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
;Bunchofgrapes says "Trimmed down to that little info, you have to admit that's a pretty small page for an Encyclopedia". This has falls under Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. We have room for just about everything. As for your claim that it does not have potential for expansion, how do you know that? Are you a John Larney expert? There is plenty more to say as soon as we find "acceptable" sources. Don't get me wrong, we strive for excellence. More will be added eventually. JesusSaves 23:27, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete, no evidence of notability. --fvw * 23:47, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete per WP:BIO. No indication that notability will be established by presenting added references for already-documented and relatively insignificant accomplishments. I encourage my fellow Boy Scouts to learn more about editing Wikipedia rather than waste time politicking here. Dystopos 02:26, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
" Trimmed down to that little info, you have to admit that's a pretty small page for an Encyclopedia. And there's not much hope for expanding it, that I can tell." I'd like to point out the following article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pharaoh_90. This is a VERY short article about an obscure villain from an animé series. I just recently edited the article; it was less than half that length. Furthermore, there is almost no hope for the article to become any longer. Anyway, my point is that there is no outcry for the deletion of this article, yet there seems to be massive opposition to the existance of this article. How much sense does it make? 12.76.163.144 02:42, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- Pharaoh 90 should probably be merged into some other article, but that simply isn't the topic of discussion here. There isn't "massive opposition" and "outcry" here, we're just a handful of people trying to rationally discuss an article, and one — I would nicely remind you — that started out as an apparent joke. But since you've brought up Pharaoh 90, let me ask you a question: How many people, worldwide, do you think have heard of Pharaoh 90? Now, how many people, worldwide, do you think have heard of John Larney? I'd guess fewer, by a factor of thousands. That tells me something. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 03:31, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Comment - The point is not whether you can find webpages that mention John Larney and identify him as a Boy Scout leader who used to be in the Navy. We could find webpages that identify me as a math teacher who used to live in Africa. That doesn't mean there should be a Wikipedia article about me. Even though, as a math teacher, I affect hundreds of people's lives, and have power over their education, grades, etc, that doesn't mean I get a Wikipedia article. None of that is the point. The point is this: AFTER other sources write about a topic, THEN Wikipedia gets to. That's the most succinct way I can think to say it. Wikipedia just isn't where the very first article written about someone should be. If some other news source does a story on John Larney and why he's interesting, then Wikipedia can cite that source, and he's in. Until then, no. The sources that have been provided (4 links so far) confirm that there is such a man, and that he is who you claim he is - great. They aren't pages about John Larney, nor are they evidence that some segment of the world considers him all that notable. I'm just as well documented online as John Larney is, (and much less so than Pharaoh 90). It's nothing against the guy, he just isn't a suitable topic for a Wikipedia article. Neither am I. GTBacchus 04:07, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
I'm gunna go out on a limb and say they'd about break even. I have certainly never heard of this Pharoah 90 fella before now. This would be an example of someone who is well know within thier own circut (anime watchers). To tell the truth I don't believe cartoon villans have a place in this encyclopedia as they affect absolutely nothing in the real world. That being said that is my personal opinion which I shall not try to oppose here because frankly I do not have the knowledge in this field to determine whether he is a major figure within that circut. I ask that those of you who have little to no knowledge of American Boy Scouting, or the Order of the Arrow specifically, to extend the same courtesy. The purpose of an encyclopedia is to inform people of topics that they have little previous knowledge. the inclusion of this article definatly fits that descrition as none of you have this knowledge and we shall inform you if it. TheBill 04:15, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
In response to Captain Distains's comment on how the vast majority of Scout Leaders are not notable enough to be included, I agree. That is why I only nominate John Larney. If I was trying to nominate leaders who were not noteable I would nominate myself and TheBill. Sorry TheBill but you are not half as noteable as Larney no matter how much you think so. JesusSaves 04:54, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete -- just not notable. No evidence, despite this long discussion, that he is notable enough to be the subject of a Wikipedia article. ManekiNeko | Talk 06:05, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
This is from a link given to user JesusSaves by someone here about the guidelines for a page:

Does lack of fame make a vanity article? An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia (although consensus exists regarding particular kinds of article, for instance see WP:MUSIC). Lack of fame is not the same as vanity.

Effectiveness of vanity articles Vanity posters may post with the motive of increasing their own personal fame, or recognition of some group they are a part of. For this purpose, vanity articles are relatively ineffective. Most vanity articles receive few hits per month until nominated for deletion, and are possibly only seen by the user who nominates one.

The subject of this article does not appear to meet any of the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies. I believe this may also be related to the nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Hye Sung Gehring. Rossami (talk) 05:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The article was created by Sungis (talk • contribs), who is, according to xyr user page, Hye Sung Gehring (AfD discussion), this person's 12-year-old son. Sungis, editors can write about their relatives and friends in Wikipedia, but they have to be exceedingly careful and not all relatives and friends are suitable subjects for encyclopaedia articles. Writing about relatives and friends is very difficult to do, in that one has to be absolutely scrupulous about third-party sourcing and neutrality. Because of that I strongly recommend not doing it, especially if one is new to Wikipedia. Furthermore, we have criteria for inclusion of biographies, which a person has to satisfy before they warrant an encyclopaedia article about xem. Most people don't satisfy those criteria. (I have some relatives who do. I can write about them if I am exceedingly careful. I don't satisfy the criteria myself, however, and neither do many of my relatives.) Your father has not garnered any independently written articles about him, and thus does not satisfy those criteria. (Sun Myung Moon satisfies the criteria because he has multiple independently written biographies, news articles, and other published works about him.) Wikipedia is not a free wiki host for anyone to host web pages about people that they like, nor is it a vehicle for self-promotion. We have the goal of creating an encyclopaedia here. If you want somewhere to host web pages that you write about yourself and your family, please find an ISP that provides a web hosting service. Delete. Uncle G 15:14, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Light Christian Academy

Non-notable. Only 8 students, none (no less enough to make the school itself notable) are mentioned as having gone on do do anything particularly noteworthy, and none are noteworthy enough to even be mentioned by name. The method isn't particularly noteworthy, as it's mostly just A.C.E., which has its own article. If this school someday inspires many similar schools that are cumulatively different enough from other ACE schools and otherwise noteworthy, this one might then become notable as having been the first. But until and unless that happens, it's non-notable. Icarus 04:07, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Delete nice article but VERY NN School that only have 8 students so that even makes it more nn --JAranda | watz sup 05:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep at all costs. This well-written article is a perfect example of the dangers of subjectivist notability demands from "those who routinely nominate and vote to delete school articles". Number of students in an educational facility is clearly not a standard whereby we can determine the suitability of a school article. Is 30 students enough? 100? 1000? 4000?--Nicodemus75 08:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- Change vote to abstain. I stand by my comment, however the "school" here is indeed unverifiable (the school under this name I found in the Philippines turns out to be a different institution, albeit almost equally small even though both are located in Quezon). An unverifiable school can't have an article just to make my point about numbers of students.--Nicodemus75 19:06, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- Comment I'm the person who nominated this article for deletion. For the record, I have never nominated or voted on any vfd for an article on a school (before this one, of course). So this isn't just a case of someone nominating school articles. --Icarus 03:43, 22 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I still can't verify this "school", but based on this this It seems that "Light Christian Academy" is just a group of homeschoolers who are apart of the Florida based "Lighthouse Christian Academy" remote/distance "school" (which is part of the ACE organization). So, aside from being unverified, it doesn't even seem to be a separate "school". Of course, I can't verify this, or anything. --rob 10:52, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
While a very small number of students may actually help a schools notability in my opinion, I'll have to vote delete based on it being unverifiable. A group of homeschooled people does not a school make either. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:27, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] List of Nintendo Revolution backwards games

It isn't that this list is unmaintainable. It is that it is completely pointless! For those of you who don't know, the Revolution will be fully backwards compatible from Day One. All Nintendo games from the NES, SNES, and N64 will be downloadable, while there will be a sperate slot for Gamecube discs. The Revolution article covers this, and there is no need to list it out. Sonic Mew | talk to me 13:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Actually, I was pretty certain that NOT all games from yesteryear will be downloadable, myself... in which case a list would be handy. I say we move it to List of Old Nintendo Games for Nintendo Revolution, or something to that effect, and expand with that list of 221 games that was in... was it Famitsu? Not entirely sure, but I know SOME list came out a while ago. --Shadow Hog 14:02, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- I seem to recall a fake list that was supposedly from Famitsu making the rounds. I could be thinking of something else, and it's possible Famitsu later had a real list. - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 08:24, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Delete - Right now, it's sourceless. And I anticipate that a massive back catalog will be available, it will probably become unmaintainable. Another thing, is the crystal ball, I'd rather wait till the revolution comes out and announcements made about the range of the back catalog before creating an encyclopedia article. - Hahnchen 14:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Don't Delete - The reliability of this article in the future is high enough to keep it going and it gives an idea of what games are probable for download on the Revolution. Postponing it or placing it aside for later use would be a good idea, seeing as time will come when an article like this will be needed for access by the general public. Though, the article title itself is pointless because "List of Nintendo Revolution backwards games" isn't descriptive enough of the subject, which is speaking of the games (at this moment, possible) for download. The correct title should be "List of Backwards Compatible titles for the Nintendo Revolution". In that sense, whomever should delete this article, but reserve the development of "List of Backwards Compatible titles for the Nintendo Revolution" until needed. I might not be someone who actively creates and corrects articles on this site, but I am wise enough to speak of and know that this is the best possible decision for this case, which has no future but will have a present. Metal gameboy 14:05, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
- The reliability of this article in the future is high enough to keep it going and it gives an idea of what games are probable for download on the Revolution.
  Then this is certainly speculation, and should be deleted. I'm sorry, Wikipedia is not the place for speculation. (Even if it was, I don't see any clear criteria for this list; how is Nintendo going to publish games for which the license for the licensed property has expired, as with the Indiana Jones games and Goldeneye 007?) - A Man In Black (conspire | past ops) 23:20, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
STRONG KEEP!!!! So technically, this could be considered speculation, however, not every last Nintendo game will be avaliable, according to a list based on a message by a Nintendo staff member listing all the games that will be; but from what I've seen, the list is almost exclusively first-party games. Furthermore, I know of multiple first-party games that I don't see on this list. Unless there is an article listing each and every game that was released directly by Nintendo, we need to label this as being about future products or maybe merge it in a way with the main Nintendo Revolution article. Plus, shouldn't we name the few third-party games avaliable for download? Furthermore, there is some concrete information in this article and it should not be thrown away without doing anything first. Do NOT, I repeat, do NOT delete this until you can confirm that it serves no purpose whatsoever. Oklonia 04:12, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
- Have you read WP:NOT and WP:NOR? Wikipedia is not in the business of publishing speculation or predictions or "reasonable guesses".

Goals in football (soccer in the US) are quite rare, and even an attack player won't usually score more than about 40 goals a year, and that is really quite many. Would expect a $11.25M dollar player to be easy to find on Google, but I still cannot find him. Finally, the Carolina Dynamo roster is here and there is no "Marc Moore" on it. Clearly a hoax.

[edit] Mordecai lincoln

I tagged this for speedy under A7, since IMO being Abraham Lincoln's uncle is not an assertion of notability. Another editor disagreed, so I'm bringing it here. My vote remains speedy delete as an article about a real person that does not assert notability. Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 20:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I apologise if I'm wrong but I thought it better to go through AfD rather than to do a questionable speedy under A7 - the most contentious of them all. No vote. --Cel e stianpower ^hablamé 20:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

His house has historical significance and is featured on the front of the Springfield, KY homepage: [12]. --best, kevin ···Kzollman | Talk··· 20:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
I agree with keep and move to Mordecai Lincoln. Granted not every uncle of every dead president needs an article, but this guy did build a house that is in the National Registry of Historic Places. I have created the Mordecai Lincoln page. Once this AfD vote is established, either both can be deleted or a redirect can be put up at Mordecai lincoln. --Gaff ^talk 21:10, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Lincoln sidenote. Anyone from Illinois or interested in Lincoln history may want to write and article on First Presbyterian Church (Springfield). I found out that it is where the Lincoln family went to church when I was writing an article on pipe organ builder John Brombaugh.—Gaff ^ταλκ 07:25, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, per Kzollman. BD2412 ^talk 02:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
I discovered Mordecai through my own genealogical research. He was a leader of the Catholic community in frontier Kentucky. The fact that Lincoln grew up in this community appears to be virtually unknown to historians, and may bear on several aspects of Lincoln's career. I am working up to writing this obscure history. The first step is to identify Mordecai. At some point I would reference him into the article about Abe.M dorothy 02:35, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep Every uncle of every President is not notable, but this is Lincoln. As a once-aspiring American History academic, I submit that there has probably been scholarship written on every Lincoln relative known to exist. Xoloz 13:26, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep and move to proper capitalization. However, if there really is "scholarship written on every Lincoln relative known to exist," perhaps at some point, when we have enough information about others, we can merge and redirect all of said relatives, just to keep things tidy. --Jacquelyn Marie 18:53, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Undelete I created this article after seeing the movie and talking to friends who had played it before the movie had come out. Since originally deleted I have put more research into the phenomenon and as long as the page survives I promise to keep improving it. The game was originally created in the military (which is extremely interesting considering the "don't as, don't tell" policy.) I agree that most pop-culture is unencyclopaedic, but when it becomes a widely recognized part of culture the threshold of notability is crossed. This game has many particpants and even more who know of it, but don't play. A simple google search will reveal as much. I know it is crude/nonsense/offensive, but none of these take away from the fact that it should be considered knowledge. Instead of thinking that something shouldn't be in an encyclopedia because you don't know it, think that it should be in so people like you can learn about it. The benefit to Wiki is that anyone can contribute and it is fluidly updated every second. This could take years to make it into print, but in the mean time people will get their information from here. This is not vandalism, it is education and free speech.

I recommend that this nomination be procedurally closed and that a request be made to submit the original discussion to Deletion Review (which, for now, still uses the VfU page and process). The original discussion had 4 clear "delete"s and 2 "keep"s, one self-described as "weak". The concerns raised about the verifiability of the content were never successfully addressed by either "keep" voter. It was closed by Rich Farmbrough as "keep" without further explanation. If we do not choose to make the procedural move, I must argue to delete this article unless and until someone can present specific evidence addressing the concerns raised by Gtabary and DESiegel during the first discussion.

Non-verifiable original research. There's also no context provided- no statement of who believes these things or why. POV is also rife- the views on religion and spirituality seem to be those of the primary author alone, rather than an attempt to document the beliefs of any notable group or movement.

Delete : Psi abilities, setting aside that they don't exist, are construed as not just ESP but also telekinesis, clairvoyance, and astral travel. That's more general than ESP but not as general as parapsychology, which includes things like ghosts, auras and past lives. I think a delete leaves room for someone to create an article at the appropriate level of detail, with links to parapsychology and ESP and whatever else, that would be coherent and have NPOV.

[edit] Punk Metal

~~This is just original research by an anon IP and~~ already includes information in the more acurate articles of Thrashcore Grindcore Thrash metal Crust punk Stoner metal Metalcore . Punk metal is hardly ever used to describe a bands genre and the more accurate terms are calling a band heavy metal and hardcore punk. JobE 6 Image:Peru flag large.png 00:53, 16 October 2005 (UTC) I propose a merge with Crossover thrash which as the creator says is a synonym for punk metal and is more acceptable. JobE 6 Image:Peru flag large.png 20:41, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

weak delete vote. Needs references. I can't speak to content--FloNight 02:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, but the above comment is just rediculous. I'm not even sure if the above user read the article, because if he did he would see clearly that Crust Punk is a subgenre of Punk Metal and that Thrash and Grindcore are related, but not considered part of Punk Metal. The term Punk Metal is widely used in the USA today in place of the old term Crossover, which has no meaning to the genre anymore. To say otherwise would show a lack of understanding of the history and future of the Punk Metal genre. Rocknrollfanatic 01:08, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep real genre of music: documented at [15], used by bands to describe their sound [16] [17], by music journalists in album reviews[18], by music stores [19] [20], etc. Needs some cleaning up and a clarification of its standing in the genre/subgenre hierarchy. --Anetode 02:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

All of those site incorrectly label some bands punk metal which are hardly even any of the genres above. Spun.com lists Atreyu (Screamo, Metalcore), Death by Stereo (who arent even remotely metal), Murderdolls (barely metal, more like Horror punk) and the Misfits (Clearly Horror Punk) as being Punk Metal. The Murderdolls like i said are purely Horror Punk and maybe Shock rock.

Keep, It surely needs clean up but I'd say it's good enough to stay. -Haon 03:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep and clean up. Allmusic.com lists this as a legitimate genre see [21] listing Suicidal Tendencies and Corrosion of Conformity as notable practitioners. Capitalistroadster 03:34, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Suicidal Tendencies are skate punk/ thrashcore and Corrosion of Conformity are hardcore punk. The article has mostly inccorect information and should either be delted or merged with metalcore. JobE 6 Image:Peru flag large.png 05:18, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Allmusic.com is a very reliable source and if they define it as a legitimate genre that's good evidence as far as I am concerned. User Anetode and I have provided a number of sources as to the existence and notability of this genre. What evidence do you have from sources that it is not a important genre. There are 652,000 Google results for "punk metal" see [22] so it is a widely used term. Capitalistroadster 06:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Allmusic is not always the most reliable or accurate. They label Led Zeppelin, Blue Oyster Cult, Def Leppard and Bon Jovi as heavy metal. Their music is not necessarily heavy metal but hard rock. Under Post harcore they list Helmet as a band which is also a mislabel. Under rap-rock they list Californication as a major album, even though it is one of the Chili Peppers few albums that do NOT containt rap style vocals. Basically allmusic is not the "if it says it then it must be true" source. JobE 6 Image:Peru flag large.png 15:59, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I second that: they even label King Diamond as death metal. Spearhead 20:47, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment - Jobe I think you're forgetting the old uses of HM. Go back to the sixties and seventies, and you'll find "punk" was used for Blondie, and HM for Led Zeppelin. Some even say LZ was the first metal band, although Steppenwolf introduced the term, and LZ, Cream and Hendrix all contributed. As for Def Leppard, and Bon Jovi. I wouldn't call BJ (!) HM, but Def Leppard would count as a sort of Pop Metal part of the NWOBHM, with the right riffs, and also certain subject matter (one of the original definitions of HM) including sex, violence, and the Apocalypse. Whether they're any good, well I'll let you decide! --82.109.88.66 19:58, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

A band does not necesserily belong to only one genre. Your assertion that Corrosion of Conformity are hardcore punk may well be correct, but a case could also be made for them being Punk Metal. Either way, deleting a whole article because you disagree with parts of it is rather gratuitious. Everyone is welcome to alter the classification of various bands mentioned, and disagreements about such taxonomy should be discussed at the article's talk page. --Anetode 08:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep I rarely use the term myself, but is applied to and appropriately befits some NWOBHM bands. 06:28, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Real Dayton BDSM Support Group

This was initially speedy-deleted. The speedy-deletion is currently under discussion at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion#October 15. In the meantime, one of the authors re-created the article. It probably did not fit the deliberately narrow cases for a CSD but there are serious concerns about the notability of this group and the inherent lack of verifiability. I can find no independent evidence that a group by this specific name exists (see for example [23]), though a prior version of the article did include a link to this site which has a similar name. As a side note, that site is either new enough or small enough that it does not even have an alexa listing. Rossami (talk) 06:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, and if you want to verify info on professional baseball people, I'd recommend contacting the Society for American Baseball Research.

~~Delete~~ - Nothing we need to keep. In the future somebody can make an English Mettler-Toledo to go with de:Mettler-Toledo (which could include a section on Safeline). And, when that's done, Safeline can be a disambig page (mentioning various uses). But, since nobody is likely to do that any time soon, we might as well just delete this for now. --rob 07:17, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep and perhaps re-name to avoid ambiguity with other outfits of the same name. From their website (so take with a grain of salt): "Currently Safeline supply over 6,000 machines annually throughout the world. This represents a total of around 25%." This meets WP:CORP criteria. And remember "needs clean-up or expansion" is not a valid delete reason. Marskell 11:45, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep and rename. Obviously a cleanup is also in order -- but that's not the point of this page; take it to cleanup instead. --Jacquelyn Marie 14:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

    - I suspect prior comments are mainly refering to the original content which said only "SafeLine is owned by Mettler Toledo. How do i know? My Dad works at SafeLine Metal Detection!". I took out the dad reference, and put in the external link; but really there's still nothing there. Please, note, you and anybody is completely free to make an article after deletion. This AFD is just about the one-sentence article. A complete article, even a complete stub would be welcome. This isn't yet even a complete stub. Also, as noted above, Safeline is not a separate company, but a division of a larger one. --rob 20:38, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

      - Marskell, I don't think you have anything to worry about. Judging from the reaction to Kurt's Last RFA, there's slim-to-no chance of him ever making a serious bid at admin. Of course, that could be explained by the opinion that consensus in a shield for the weak (or something else from the Amazon review of Atlas Shrugged). --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 22:51, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Abstain: On second thought, there's nothing worth keeping, but nothing needing to be deleted either. If the article is moved, expanded, and this name is used as a disambig, that's fine with me.

Merge with the article on the 2005 film starring Johnny Depp and Freddie Highmore which it appears to be about. Get rid of the versions red links. It's not useful because it doesn't detail what versions it's referring too and basically it's info to be put in articles on the film or book, not on the room. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep - Based on precident of other fictional entities from other famous works. If it applied to just one film, a merge would be appropriate. But it applies to two movies, and a book. The article should be renamed though, to something less generic. Also, I don't understand the nominators logic. If something is the most important of thousands, that makes it *more* notable, not less. Vulcan (Star Trek) is one of many planets in Star Trek, but it's deemed more important. --rob 23:25, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Comment. I personally think the Great Glass Elevator is more notable than the chocolate room, because the sequel uses the Elevator profusely and even has it as the title. Regarding this room, it's one of my favorites, and so it's the one I remember, but I think another person could just as easily argue that the nut room, say, made a much bigger impression on him/her. And then where does it all end? Therefore... move and condense this information to List of rooms in Charlie's Chocolate Factory (or perhaps a better title than that, but you get the idea. The point is that a few lines on each will do. --Jacquelyn Marie 01:12, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you for making this point so well. Indeed, the specter of pages for tens of rooms, if not the thousand alluded to in my nomination, was one of the motivations for my nomination.

[edit] The Converted

AMG hasn't heard of these guys and Googling the band's name combined with the styles of music the play, the state, and their home city in various combinations didn't turn up any worthwhile hits that I could find. They've put out one EP, and appear to be strictly a local band. They're about to put out a CD, which is good for them, but they don't seem to be anywhere near meeting the guidelines set forth in WP:Music yet. -- Captain Disdain 03:00, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

The Converted have played in more locations than the local towns they are from, they have played and are somewhat known in Philadelphia. The reason they don't appear on Google is most likely because they haven't submitted their site to Google yet. I mean, they're a punk band that is starting out, they aren't going to be all over Google or have a .com site yet. -- Necron99

(I moved Necron99's comment to the top of the page to increase readability)

- Necron, Wikipedia likes their articles to be verifiable. So they may have played in a lot of places, but if no reliable sources documented this, we can't prove it which is a basic requirement especially when it comes to articles on people and bands. - Mgm|^(talk) 12:21, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
  - Furthermore, just having played in a lot of places isn't enough, as the WP:Music guidelines illustrate. I can think of plenty of situations where an article about a band might be entirely appropriate even if they don't meet that criteria, but I don't think this is one of those cases. (And Necron99, you don't actually have to submit anything to Google; if it's being talked about in the net, Google's pretty good at finding it. If The Converted don't show up on Google, it's pretty much a sure thing that they aren't getting a lot of attention on the net. That alone is not the deciding factor, but it's certainly an indication that they aren't exactly turning the Maryland music scene upside down.) -- Captain Disdain 20:50, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Libel, I might add. to quote the good cap'n: "they don't seem to be anywhere near meeting the guidelines set forth in WP:Music yet." Well, this is simply not true. To quote the article he was so quick to name, but obviously hasn't read, rule number 6 reads thusly: "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city (or both, as in British hip hop)..." Well, I, as a resident of Chestertown, Maryland, I would like to say for all of us that The Converted is the most prominant representative of Ska/Punk/Crust Punk/Death Metal of Chestertown, Maryland. Thus, according to the rules of Wikipedia, laid down by the most venerable whoever, The Converted's page is in fact, allowable on this site. --Converted Fan 198

I used to live in Chestertown and The Converted really are what some peoples lives revolve around. Whenever there is a show announced with The Converted the kids in the town have something to look forward to in life. Being that the town is full of rich, old conservatives who dont really allow the local bands to play, being them shutting down the local venues and replacing them with offices. Another reason that one might not find info on The Converted "turning the scene upsidedown" is because the local paper probably doesnt write shit on them, probably because its run by the same rich old people. And I agree with Converted Fan 198 in that Google really doesnt know all. Google can really only cover so much. -TheRussianZombie

- Comment unrelated to the actual AfD: FireSpike, when doing your nominations, please follow the instructions at WP:AFD -- there's a very clear set of instructions at the bottom of the page. The way you did this now resulted in there being no AfD tag on the article itself and the AfD itself being listed incorrectly on the list of nominations for today. I fixed it now, though I didn't add the AfD tag on the article itself as it is still up for a speedy deletion. Which is an ugly way of going about this, but eh. In the future, please follow those instructions; that way we'll avoid this kind of confusing stuff. Not the end of the world or anything, but, y'know. Thanks. =) -- Captain Disdain 23:52, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Interim

Reportedly a "political-action novel," the article gives a lengthy plot synopsis but no information on author or publisher. The novel is not for sale on Amazon.com, is not in the NYPL database, and Googling the names of the two principal characters (or those of other characters) gives no result. There is no reason to believe that this book has ever been published. Andrew Levine 18:56, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Titbow

Made up game. Titbow game yields very few unique googles. -R. fiend 15:32, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

All games are made up. It is played all over Sydney and in Melbourne too. It's an Australian thing. Would it make a difference if i fix it up a little?--Jzeltzer 15:57, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Verifibility is important to wikipedia articles. If no independent verification can be given other than "I know a bunch of people who play this" then, sorry, but it is not a suitable subject for wikipedia. If it really is played all over Sydney and Melbourne, then there shouldn't be too much trouble finding some independent, verifiable references to the game. -R. fiend 16:23, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I live in Canberra between Sydney and Melbourne and I've never heard of it. Perhaps I lead a sheltered life or perhaps this game is not well-known or has been made up. The lack of sources currently leads me to the second conclusion. Delete. Capitalistroadster 19:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I can definitely say that I've heard of the game. I found two guys playing at a pub in Sydney and looked interesting. I went over to find out what was happening and they invited my to play - the three player version definitely exists as the article here states (though not using the 2 of diamonds as the dud). When I next spoke to my sister (who is studying in Melbourne), she said that she had also played with friends of hers. I can't explain why it does not come up on the internet, it must be something that passes by word of mouth. That said, I have definitely heard of it and do not think that it should be deleted. So Keep. W.Burroughs, 12:10, 17 October 2005

Hey guys n gals, i did some googling myself... admittedly i couldn't find much on Titbow, but found quite alot on Mr. Krochmalik above. Check it out. He's like some bridge champion. That's gotta count for something right?--Jzeltzer 22:42, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

To correct Jzeltzer, I am a semi-professional bridge player who is very familiar with card games. I recently competed in the 10th World Junior Bridge Championships held in Sydney. On the sidelines of this very important tournament, titbow was played as a social game to release the tension from the day's bridge. It is well known within bridge playing circles and amongst people who are experienced card players. This is no hoax. Daniel Krochmalik 211.30.0.195 01:45, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey i live in Sydney. I know alot of card games but have never heard of it. Dont really see the problem though. The game has clearly been played (by virtue of the rules themselves), it makes sense, and i cant really think of one like it. I think I'll even give it a go - looks classic. It is truly remarkable how many games can be played with a standard deck of 52 cards. It would be great if wikipedia could be a testament to this remarkability. Viva Titbow. Keep it. --Jonathan pang 11:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I played a drinking version of the game in Syd. Added it on for ya dudes. --Balint Seeber 11:15, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Am not sure why this is being considered a hoax - it would seem like a lot of effort has been made just to make a false addition to the Wikipedia. If there are clear rules, and people admitting to playing, then surely the game exists and should be included. Or am I missing the point? If so, could the detractors please explain why it should not be included, rather than just calling it a hoax. For the record, I have played Titbow with Uni friends in Sydney and it is an awesome game. Keep --Yun thai wang 11:25, 20 October 2005 (UTC)

Hey, I'm over at the uni of wollongong. We played it on 1st year camp, not familiar with the drinking version (though many drinks were involved..). anyway, its not a particularly good game but it exists nonetheless. good to see some aussie youth culture making its way into wiki.

- That'd be grounds for a speedy delete. -Willmcw 19:29, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
- This is the writer of the second part of the article. I suggest a compromise.Let us write a good article together in which all opinions are represented. You can add your ideas and I can mine. As I wrote to Brazzy, general deletion is not a typical way for scientific dispute. Other articles in the wikipedia show that a more conservative biological view and a more progressive sociological view can coexist in harmony (e.g.,wikipedia "race". Please take note of the fact that I got discontended when Brazzy deleted lengthy parts of the article without a serious discussion just as he cancelled Dr. Christoph Neumann's contribution concerning the sexuality of the Nadeshiko Yamato.But sexuality is an important aspect of the Japanese conservative female archetype. It is very easy to label someone a racist who strongly claims that he is none, e.g. all my statements about Blacks and Asians are positive ones: the high efficiency of Asian societies; the freedom of Chinese anthropology where b o t h the Boasian and the conservative view can be discussed; the "womanly" looks of Indonesians and Filipinas on average concerning anthropometrical measures no-one can seriously deny. My part of the article is descriptive and I never suggested any actions against any group of people I mentioned. I respect all the groups and authorities in the article.I never evaluated them ("good","bad" etc.) That some people consider some statements as not flattering does not mean that I did not like or respect any of the mentioned groups or authorities.I am a professor of anthropology and I my contribution to other anthropological articles in the English wikipedia were explicitly welcomed by others (e.g.concerning the direct involvement of the AAA in secret service activities). So let us together build a new article.

Comment It's important not to throw the baby out with the bathwater. There is plenty of room for a good article on this sociosexual phenomenon, and I believe that the pre-truncated article was a good start. Clearly we are dealing with some racist overtones here - any mention of a "hidden Jewish agenda" rightfully deserves to be greeted with hoots of disdainful laughter, and is not appropriate in the context of this discussion even if it were legitimate. However, this is a legitimate topic and deserving of more than just a dicdef. I'm really choking over those "references" though - I can't believe that some of them represent anything like mainstream thought. Denni ☯ 01:02, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Let us take Boasianism.Boas invented Boasianism nearly alone, he had a strong Jewish identification, nearly all of his mainly Jewish students became deans and influential anthropologists at American universities, Boasianism first controlled the USA making mass immigration possible, after 1945 it controlled the world except China (s.Lieberman,Littlefield, Reynolds). There were no other important factors that facilitated mass immigration to the US. Boas and his students were the key factor with a 90% responsibility if someone would like to have a number. "Disdainfulful laughter" about the truth is I think inappropriate.If you can show that the above statements are wrong, then you might laugh. Have you examined all books in my bibliography carefully? I don't think so, so please do this first.You write that you are a "disciplined deletionist", maybe you become a "serious reader and scientist",too.E.g. John Randal Baker is dealt with in the wikipedia article "race", too,as an important contribution to anthropology, Littlefield, Lieberman and Reynold wrote primarily a documentation.

Sorry, I should have updated you folks earlier. I rewrote the page. I think the best outcome really would be an eventual merge in Takara Toys, which at the moment is a poor article. But keeping Yumemi as is for now wouldn't be a bad thing. enceph alon 16:09, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep and/or merge. The current rewrite is quite satisfying. --Jacquelyn Marie 00:58, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, this sounds interesting. — JIP | Talk 10:33, 17 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep as above. Trollderella 19:56, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Keep, certainly verifiable, but article at present is very close to an advertisment. Alphax ^τεχ 01:50, 19 October 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep although a definite product, it verges on advertisement --Reflex Reaction 13:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep, it's a verifiable product and a decent quality article. Editing is the cure for articles that read too much like advertising, not deletion. Un focused 14:46, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep and improve. It's more real than the Bajoran wormhole and is probably of more universal usefulness than D2jsp. Pedant 20:51, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
Keep for the reasons stated above. Science3456 23:11, 21 October 2005 (UTC)
