[edit] اب سیاه

Been at WP:PNT for over 2 weeks, listing here since it hasn't been translated. Discussion from there:

Found loose in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. Don't know which language. Kusma (討論) 01:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Just a wild guess... It's using the arabic alphabet, so I'll guess... arabic? It could also be Farsi, I think, but it's probably arabic. There's also the english word Glaucoma in it, which doesn't have an equivalent article in arabic wiki; my hypothesis is that this is an article meant for the arabic wiki, and we should move it. СПУТНИК^{ССС Р} 02:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

It's definitely not Arabic - it uses a number of letters found only further east; but I'm not sure which language it is. ColinFine 00:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

It is Farsi and it means Glaucoma. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.99.234.199 (talk • contribs).

• Delete if nobody is going to translate it. Royboycrashfan 00:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, unless someone translates it (even then it would probably need merging with Glaucoma, if it had anything useful). -- Mithent 01:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Wrong wiki --† Ðy§ep§ion † 04:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete for lack of a good reason to keep here. Hard to tell if it's Arabic or not ... there is one letter not used in Arabic, but only that one, and there are some recognizable Arabic words in there and the morphology generally follows Arabic patterns. Daniel Case 04:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. I'll take people's word that it's Arabic, to me it looks like Gibberish. Note that this is the author's only contribution, and it's almost a month old. JIP | Talk 06:49, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. My guess is it's Persian rather than Arabic, and I'd have said "transwiki" to fa.wikipedia, if it wasn't also a likely copyvio from here: [1]. Lukas ^(T.|@) 08:10, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I have to ask you if you can actually read Arabic script or just spotted the word "Glaucoma" in Latin script. JIP | Talk 08:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I can read the script (with a bit of effort) but don't understand the language. As for finding that source page, Google is your friend. Lukas ^(T.|@) 08:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Leon Winer

Notice - - I have revised the page. This renders all of the comments irrelevant. Like beating a dead horse, you know. Leon Winer, Feb. 12, '06

Notability only marginally established through mention of "book" authorship, which turns out to be a 12-page university publication. However, my main concern is that the article is self-authored and therefore probable vanity. See Wikipedia:Vanity_page for more information. --Alan Au 00:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. That article is a thinly veiled advertisment, Mr. Winer fails our notability requirements by a wide margin. Mstroeck 00:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete as vanity. Royboycrashfan 00:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Vanity, and too many external links. —Last Avenue (talk) (contribs) 01:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a mirror or a repository of links, images, or media files Royboycrashfan 01:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete How do you know it is "self-authored" - there is no proof? Nevertheless, it is still vanity, so delete. --M@thwiz2020 01:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete Non noteable person, and also and advertisment. Section9 02:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Last Avenue & Royboycrashfan. -- Krash (Talk) 02:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per nom. Avi 02:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Clear Keep. Plainly not a vanity article; original author contributed to many related articles and did not insert references to Winer, as would be expected of vanity author. Subject is considered notable for professional activities as reported by external media [2][3] [4] , particularly for role in promoting greater employee influence on 401K plan investments (a subject of great interest to many who are familiar with such enterprises as Enron). Also presented papers/led discussions at international professional conferences [5]. Another AfD nomination without appropriate checking. Monicasdude 02:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. Actually, if you check the other edits, you should realize that they are almost universally linkspam to Lwiner's personal site. However, if you would like to rewrite the article as a non-vanity piece, feel free to do so. --Alan Au 04:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Response. You're right about Winer being the principal author of the article, and I failed to catch that a few of the edits in the author's history went to the user page rather than the article. But none of the vanity aspects of the article outweigh Winer's lead role in a newsworthy event -- the 401(k) control controversy, which was treated as notable by several external sources. Bad behavior by the subject of an article on Wikipedia doesn't justify the deletion of an article on a notable subject, even though his notability may be in a very narrow field. Monicasdude 05:21, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Monicasdude, if this guy was of any importance, surely more than 100 websites would mention him. EdGl 03:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per Section9. --Aaron 03:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Comment - Certainly appears to be self-authored, compare User:Lwiner. The history of that user page is primarily by Lwiner (talk • contribs) and 68.173.184.201 (talk • contribs), the latter being the primary editor of Leon Winer (history of article). Their contribs are fairly similar, and seem primarily to be reasonably good edits though with a propensity towards advertising-ish links. User space is appropriate for what appears in the article, which essentially duplicates the user page already. Lacrimosus (talk • contribs) has already spoken to Lwiner (talk • contribs) about the appearance of vanity; encouraging Winer to continue editing while keeping those guidelines in mind would be helpful. -- Jonel | Speak 04:07, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for including the user links; I neglected to put those in the original nomination, but the edit histories are indeed what I used to infer authorship. --Alan Au 04:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I figured you probably had, but Monicasdude (talk • contribs) thought the checking was inadequate so I figured I'd make the checking obvious. I've seen plenty of really poorly researched nominations, and this wasn't even close to being part of that category in my opinion. -- Jonel | Speak 05:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete per above, fails Wikipedia:Notability (people). AndyZ 01:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Note related articles created by Winer (using at least two usernames, Lwiner and Lwiner9), include Strategic Creative Analysis, Strategic Creative Analysis (SCAN) and Objectives in Strategic Planning. Also Lwiner9, which I already speedied. Rd232 ^talk 12:28, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Continues to fail notability test. --Maxamegalon2000 04:04, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Please Note. I have revised my page. It now includes the fact that I have published 100 articles and papers that were peer-reviewed in the double-blind process. Also, about all the excitement displayed above about my linking to my website: If I have a done a lot of important original work, who am I supposed to link to, the ignorant hacks who keep quoting each other and have not had a new idea in their entire lives??

[edit] Lazuli

Hoax? In any case he is not notable. Ezeu 00:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Lapis lazuli, as it seems like a legitimate search term for that. As for the current subject, even if he is real, non-notable and probably fails WP:MUSIC. --Kinu 00:41, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, fails WP:MUSIC horribly. Royboycrashfan 01:00, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Enronomics

This article contains no content that isn't already at Creative accounting, a much more thorough article. The term is also not widespread; there are under 1000 google hits including Wikipedia. The term also falsely implies that there is an economic theory behind what happened, as opposed to fraud. --Bletch 00:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirect to Creative accounting per nom. Royboycrashfan 01:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete as neologistic. -- Krash (Talk) 02:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong Delete per Krash. All "Enronomics" may be Creative accounting, but not all Creative accounting is "Enronomics". That makes it clearly unsuitable for a redirect. --Aaron 03:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Fine. Let me put it another way, see below. --Aaron 14:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment - Umm... A is a subset of B makes A perfectly suitable for a redirect to B if A isn't article-worthy. That B is not also a subset of A simply means that a redirect from B to A would be clearly unsuitable. -- Jonel | Speak 04:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect. We have lots of redirects that address one small part of a greater article. Daniel Case 04:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Redirects are indeed cheap. Elfguy 13:35, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Strong delete per Krash. Ginned-up neologism that violates WP:NPOV and thus does not belong in Creative accounting. --Aaron 14:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Do not Delete. Yes, Professor Mirabello wrote the book. University of Glasgow (Ph.D.),University of Virgina (MA), University of Toledo (B.A.). Writing the book qualifies me to write an article.

• Strong Delete reads like utter FictionCruft. I mean, sources?? Who is this important to? Hilarious WP:NOR, verifiability and blatant self-promotion issues too... Writing a book qualifies you to do exactly SQUAT on WP. The existence of a notable subject qualifies anybody to write an article about it, PhD or not... 173 unique Googles, nearly all of which are commercial listings for the book rather than any verification of the subject, [9] while the comments on the book's Amazon page (sales rank: #2,970,920) [10] could not stink more strongly of Sockpuppetry.

• Comments - The article seems, by virtue of its content, to not be subject to WP:V or WP:CITE. If this holds true, then it has no place here. However, a few caveats are worth mentioning:

• • We have the Oera Linda book with its own article at Wikipedia. The Odin Brotherhood and the Oera Linda book appear to be equal to each other in terms of factual content (id est, they are both fiction), according to the nature of their sources. I would not mind having The Odin Brotherhood here with its own article if WP:V or WP:CITE can be satisfied. I doubt that will happen, as Dr. Mirabello's book seems about as verifiable as Guido Karl Anton List's personal gnosis concerning the Armanen runes.

• • Additionally, I must respectfully disagree with HroptR, Dieter, and any other folk who wish to redirect the article in question to any Germanic neopaganism article here at Wikipedia, as that would lend a false credibility to Dr. Mirabello's book which it does not deserve. I base that judgement on having read the book itself, my education in relevant subjects, and finally on the rules governing Wikipedia articles. Odinism is, to my POV, a valid variant of Germanic neopaganism in our time, and to grant The Odin Brotherhood the status of being a valid academic reference, or even a commonly used spiritual source text for that religion would be quite inaccurate.

[edit] Note about this AfD

Tracking all mentions of an entry or link across wikipedia and deleting them before the AfD is even completed is a form of harassment. I also perceive users placing 7 warning templates on the entry as a form of malicious harassment. There seems to be a total lack of assuming good faith and civility by many here, as well as the most severe violations of attacking new comers which I have ever seen. The editor has less than 25 edits, and has only been a member of wikipedia for three days. He doesn't even know how to sign his name with four tildes (look at the top of this page). This entry was not even 10 minutes old, before it was submitted for AfD. I think we need to wait and see if he is going to add further content, verifiable sources and clean up the entry - or whether it should be merged into another article. Contrary to what has been stated here, I have heard about this alleged secret society elsewhere in print and even on a radio show. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dab and myself are in fact the only editors who have voted in this AfD who have edited or contributed content at wikipedia about Germanic Neopaganism, Ásatrú, Odinism, Odinic Rite, Polytheistic Reconstructionsim, etc. and I feel that those who have not contributed to these subjects do not know if it is relevant or not because they don't know the subject matter whatsoever. Relax everyone. HroptR 16:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I do have knowledge about the topic. That I do not edit on these topics does not matter. --KimvdLinde 17:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Valid point; just because someone doesn't have anything to add to an article is no basis to automatically assume they have no knowledge of the subject matter.--Isotope23 17:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Most earlier contributions went through 146.85.84.60 contributions. Just for completness sake. --KimvdLinde 17:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

So he has been editing since the 3rd of February? How does this justify harassment? Regardless, of your expertise on the subject matter, NPOV dictates even more discretion if you find it personally disagreeable. HroptR 17:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I am sorry, but Wikipedia is not a list of links to all possible (fantasy) books written on a certain topic. --KimvdLinde 17:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Some well made points HroptR and I apologise to Mr Mirabello for biting... Still, as the creator of the page is clearly monitoring the debate one might reasonably expect any changes to happen quickly. We all appreciate very few among us have knowledge of this, perhaps because it is an inherently niche topic. We all want to promote our own interests (and commercial publications) but don't lose sight of whether this is really a topic for WP... It's a promo for a book, and would need to be completely rewritten to become some kind of objective article about the society, a society which you state is "alleged" to exist, and therefore doesn't sound extremely verifiable. ++Deiz 18:55, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Clean up

I have gone through and done a quick wikification of the article, so it is a book entry and not an advertisement. I ask editors to consider whether this should be redirected to Mark Mirabello (which also needs clean up) or elsewhere, and whether it is NPOV at this point. HroptR 19:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment The cleanup is better, but I still have a few reservations about this article. The excerpt section is overly long, and in my opinion unecessary. See The Jesus Mysteries for a better example of how this article could be done. Also, the controversy section is POV, basically attempting to defend the lack of sources by casting aspersions on the sourcing of unrelated works. Most importantly, I'm still not convinced this book has reached the threshold of notability. There are no set standards for books that I'm aware of like WP:MUSIC, so it's a judgement call.--Isotope23 19:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• I am planning to nominate the Mark Mirabello page for deletion this evening as it is an autobiography of a non-notable person. The book remains non-notable, it claims to be non-fictional, but without any verification and consequently not a usefull contribution to wikipedia. There is no indication that the website is from someone else than Mark Mirabello, or that any of the advertisments, or radio interviews were with anybody else than Mark Mirabello himself (there is documentation of a radio interview with him). Neither have I gotten any verification from within the Asatru or Odinist community that this group exists (some responses still pending). If he, or others provide verification for the non-fictional aspect of the book (or I get word from others within the community), I would reconsider whether there is potential of a seperate article on the brotherhood themselves. If not, it appear to be fictional work sold as non-fiction. Until then, I remain for deletion of the page as nom. --KimvdLinde 20:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Edited error on my site --KimvdLinde 14:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

So you are advocating purging all reference to him on wikipedia? You stated: Neither have I gotten any verification from within the Asatru or Odinist community that this group exists which community would this be? I don't think the argument is whether the group exists or not, but whether mention of a book should be purged because the content is questionable. Deleting the biography just seems like sheer malice. HroptR 20:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I am talking about deleting an AUTObiography Wikipedia:Auto-biography, in clear conflict with the policies of Wikipedia. And to answer your question, the Asatru/Odinist community in Europe and the USA where I am part off. --KimvdLinde 20:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC) It was an error on my site. --KimvdLinde 14:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

You might want to revise that - the person who authored the Mark Mirabello entry Stege1 has commented at the talk page. To wit: Mark Mirabello did not write the entry as stated in the nomination for deletion. HroptR 01:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

No, you are talking about deleting an autobiography in clear conflict with the GUIDLINES of Wikipedia. Strongly discouraged, but NOT absolutely forbidden. And if HroptR is correct, not an autobiography in the first place. Jcuk 09:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Now: No opinion. Mandrake of Oxford is a vanity press, as such its publications are not inherently notable and likely to be inherently non-notable. Ikkyu2 21:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

User:Monicasdude asserts Mandrake is not in fact a vanity press. I have no way to verify this, so I've changed my opinion to No opinion. I note that [Mandrake's own web page], while maintaining a pretense of editorial standards, requests that books be submitted in ready-to-print CRC format, and can require authors to pre-order a quantity of books; a reputable publishing house would never permit either of these practices. Ikkyu2 02:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• This is still a vanity article about a seriously unnotable vanity book, written about a seriously sketchy, unencyclopedic topic. Even after efforts by someone acquainted with the subject to shed some light on things, the article has proved impossible to wikify. Vote remains: strong delete. I would also support nomination of the AutobioVanityCruft article Mark Mirabello. Said page (particularly the external links to a self-made profile page at "Shawnee State University" (which in turn is the least wikified article I have yet seen on a university) and a so called "radio" interview (click to see the term "radio" stretched to breaking point)) is as VanityCruftlicious as they come. ++Deiz 23:11, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Did you even read what you just responded to?  :) Ikkyu2 23:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey Ik, if you mean was I responding you then I wasn't (we seem to be in agreement here) and have reformatted.. otherwise...? ++Deiz 00:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Now that it's cleaned up it's clearly nn. Comparing one's lack of sourcing to biblical prophets just proves the point: when the book sells as many copies as theirs has, re-submit the article. Carlossuarez46 23:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Amazon.com sales rank of 546,286, the publisher seems like a vanity press. [13]. Peyna 00:35, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Minimally notable book by minimally notable author. Current publisher doesn't seem to a be a vanity press, doesn't show up on any author alert lists I've seen. Book is actually in-stock at Amazon (as are several others from the publisher) which isn't the norm for vanity presses. [14] I have little doubt that the book itself is of little intrinsic merit, but the same applies to Pokemon, Celine Dion music, and the collected works of Jackie Collins. Monicasdude 00:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment If Wikipedia adopted a Limbo namespace, this article could be moved to Limbo during the discussion on deletion. Moving an article to Limbo would remove it from the article namespace and prevent search engines from delivering suspicious content while the community decides whether to keep or delete it. For more information, see the discussion on establishing the Limbo namespace. Fg2 01:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep. Seems like a real (if obscure and un-authoritative) book from a legit publisher. The article has come a long way from its beginnings, and with further improvement (such as a reduction of the "Manifesto" section and NPOV work on the "Criticism" section) it'll be worth having on the server. -Colin Kimbrell 17:11, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I do not think it was HroptR, but some students from the university that like the professor very much (nothingb wrong with that). One of them made the page about him. When one of them got hold of the deletion request, things started. HroptR is sincere as far as I can tell, strong in his arguments, but not deceptive or anything bad. --KimvdLinde 04:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Indeed, and please nobody think I'm accusing HroptR of anything, just remarking that the new postings mention him. ++Deiz 12:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment:Sockpuppetry and stacking votes is not my modus operandi. I know plenty of established wikipedia users I could encourage to vote or comment, but I have not. Mob rule is still mob rule. For me personally, not citing sources and verifiable research has undone this book entry, not group consensus or lack of notability. However, I think there is a fine line between fanatical deletionism and revisionism. People are being way too emotional about this on both sides of the issue. HroptR 16:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. According to OCLC FirstSearch-WorldCat, the FBI sees fit to keep this book in their academic library. The book has been published now by several publishers, Mandrake of Oxford is the most recent.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 146.85.124.121 (talk • contribs).

• That's interesting, a link to sources which verify that claim would be useful. ++Deiz 02:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• It can be verified at an obscure and little-used site, www.amazon.com. Here's a link to the previous, fourth, edition [16]. Monicasdude 02:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

FBI library. I have found that as well. But that is not surprising as some Asatruer/Odinists are neonazi in line with the misuse of our symbols during Nazi Germany, so I can imagine that the FBI would indeed get everything available. But I think we are digging very deep at the moment, and yes, we will find some stuff..... --KimvdLinde 02:41, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• Yeah, we'll discover that the previous edition of the book was published by Holmes Publishing (who seem to have no website) and has a sales rank of #1,509,755. Far from being "little-used" and "obscure", Amazon is actually quite popular and well-known. Probably because it does more than sell books about the occult and Norse secret societies... ++Deiz 08:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• • • I am the student who created the article on Mark Mirabello. I did not create the article for The Odin Brotherhood and I have not encouraged any students or anyone else to create excess log ins to influence a vote. I find that accusation by KimvdLinde to be a bit upsetting. While I have only been a member at Wikipedia for a short while, I have used it for years and have never tried to add anything false or engage in any unethical practice. Stege1

I am not accusing you of adding the fake stuff. I am only saying that as soon as the word came out at the university, it started to rain anonymuous and new people at this page. I will change the wording to take away the confusion. Sorry for the misunderstanding. --KimvdLinde 15:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep but rewrite There are only about 10 University libraries worldwide that own this book. That's 10 more than any book I ever wrote, but its not a ringing endorsement either. Would it be acceptable to rewrite the article so it wasn't about the book but about the "Odin Brotherhood" as a possibly imaginery movement, listing the book as the source. That way it's not just a book advert any more. If somebody does hear about the Odin Brotherhood somewhere and tries to investigate at WP they would find an entry explaining where the term originated and why it is highly suspect. WP must have an article on Bigfoot, which probably doesn't exist either, right?Thatcher131 16:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete unless someone can point me to either A) a critical (not necessarily negative!) appraisal of the historical claims made in this book by someone with academic qualifications, or B) a critical (not necessarily negative!) appraisal of the book by a member of the polytheistic reconstructionist community and an indication that this is considered an essential text by some segment of the community. Until then, there just isn't enough information for us to write an NPOV article on this book. - AdelaMae ^{(talk - contribs)} 19:21, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Hey AdelaMae. I don't think any recons would subscribe to the Odin Brotherhood just because of the occult elements and secret society bit. For what it's worth, it is on the reading list of several neo-heathen Asatru /Odinist groups like the AFA with a blurb: "a fascinating, poetic, visionary, and many suspect, metaphorical, look at Odinic religion" and is mentioned on several Asatru webistes and forums briefly like this one. The radio show from Odin Lives linked in the article goes into the works impact as well as the veracity of the order. I just think it is a poor precedent to delete fringe authors because their works or beliefs aren't seen as valuable to the mainstream. Many subcultures are not highly represented on the internet. HroptR 20:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep This is a secret society. Perhaps it will be hard to find a critical historical study of it. In answer to AdelaMae's criteria "B" the Asatru Alliance considers this work to be important enought to include in in their suggested reading list of contemporary works. Click this to see.[[17]]stege1

• • Daughters of Frya also reportedly respect the teachings of the Oera Linda Book. ::shrug:: And the point is? Recommended reading lists from the Asatru Alliance are not particularly relevant to whether the article on The Odin Brotherhood is worth retaining here at Wikipedia. If the AA decides to laud Dr. Mirabello's work as sacred scripture/divinely inspired/whatever (which I doubt they would ever decide to do), then it would be a different matter entirely. A very small religious organisation recommending a book as being 'interesting' and 'possibly useful' does not give a book inherent credibility or verifiability. The book, and its respective article here, must stand on its own merit and on the rules found at WP:V and WP:CITE. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 04:12, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Note to new editors:

There appears to be many editors who have edited anonymously or have created a username solely to vote on this issue. While we appreciate your concern and passion about this issue, unfortunately the input of new users does not have much weight in these matters, because you are not yet a contributing member of Wikipedia.

Also, it is expressly against Wikipedia policy to create more than one user account to affect the outcomes of deletion discussion or AfD. This is called sock puppetry. This practice is highly frowned upon by your fellow Wikipedia editors and is expressly discouraged by Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines.

Furthermore, every computer on the internet has a unique IP address, which in most instances, can identify the specific computer and the physical location used to make edits. If numerous editors in a vote all have the same IP address, this is evidence of sock puppetry, and your votes will not be counted. You could also be blocked from editing in the future. You are not completely anonymous!

From Wikipedia:Sock puppetry:

The Arbitration Committee has ruled that, for the purpose of dispute resolution, when there is uncertainty whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets.

I encourage you to stick around Wikipedia and contribute to the project, regardless of the outcome of this vote. - HroptR 22:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT Wild debate. Note that the book has a sales rank of 9,395 at Buy.com [[18]] Maybe its rank is lower at amazon because smart people look for deals--it is cheaper at buy.com! --146.85.84.60 01:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• Different retailers calculate their ranks based on completely different formulae. Amazon.com is an often used standard, so when an Amazon.com sales rank is quoted, it is being compared to other products with Amazon sales ranks, not the same product's sales rank on a completely different site. As you will see if you become a more experienced WP user, Buy.com ranks are not considered any kind of standard measure by Wikipedia editors. Your post also sounds like an advertising jingle. On those two counts you might want to strike that one. ++Deiz 02:00, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT. The Oera Linda reference above is interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oera_Linda The book has its name from the Linden family. Is it coincidence that Mirabello's middle name is "Linden"? --146.85.84.60 03:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Apparently a favourable coincidence to you since you have been adding (and been reverted in each case) links to The Odin Brotherhood in numerous articles here at Wikipedia. Please stop doing so. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 03:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

COMMENT. Here is the link to the FBI Library Collection. Type "Odin Brotherhood" or "Mirabello" to find it. http://fbilibrary.fbiacademy.edu/webopac/cgi/swebmnu.exe?act=3&ini=splusweb So, if the Odin Brotherhood does not exist, why is the FBI reading about it? Do you think they have titles on the "Fantastic Four"? "The Justice League"? What do you think, Mulder? Scully? --146.85.84.60 20:44, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• A simple reason is that the FBI does research on neonazi and white supremacist groups, some of whom are Odinist oriented. Just remember Nazi germany and the misuse of our symbols by them. So, they want to have the background knowlegde and make a library. Simple enough. --KimvdLinde 20:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

The page is not of an Odinist group. Furthermore, all my sources within the Asatru and Odinist community report back that they think the book is a fantasy (or they never heard anything about it at all). --KimvdLinde 22:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to prove here 146.85.127.124. If you're suggesting that new sources have come to light which will enable you (you're clearly some kind of expert) to write an encyclopedic, verifiable, unbiased and objective article on this topic then maybe you should stop piling stuff onto this AfD page and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ARTICLE WHICH HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR DELETION. The majority of editors on this page know nothing and care even less about Odinism. What we do want to see are submissions which belong in Wikipedia. As it stands the article flies in the face of several of WP's criteria for inclusion and if you tot up the opinions of experienced editors (per the warning at the top of the page and the "Notes to new editors" piece by HroptR, several "editors" opinions will be discounted due to the evidence of sockpuppetry) you'll see the article could do with less hot air and more hard work. ++Deiz 01:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Adelaide University Engineering Society

I'm wondering if this meets the notability criteria. It is mainly a social club at a university, which is typically concerned with the consumption of alcohol?? I go to this university, and so am abstaining. It is very well written though. Blnguyen 01:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep
  • Thankyou for the compliment Blnguyen. Kino, if you had examined the logs, you would see that the edits such as contact us and our website were done by a different user to the main editor of the page (that is, me). To those who say most of the socities activities relate to pub crawls, this is partly true - they hold a single pubcrawl which is quite large, however, that is by no means the limit of the scope of this page. As the page is still being written, I ask everyone to give it a chance. This is my first major contribution to the wiki, so any guidance would be greatly appricated over straight out deletion. Shenki 23:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • After closely re-reading all of the relevant documentation on deletion, I believe this article does not qualify for deletion as those below have mentioned. I agree with Blnguyen that the article must not become just a advertisment for some student club which just drinks alcohol (infact, I was concious of this when creating the article in the first place).Shenki 23:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep - I respect the opinions of those who say the place isn't notable. However, it is easily verifiable and is no longer spam or advertising. That it's a "commercial project" does not make it unworthy of an article. That it has mention by independent sources is enough to convince me of the notability of the place.

• Keep 1) It's a recent article, and certain obvious elements (References page, Links page) are not yet included - still under construction, so unfair to criticize it for lacking elements. This violates the "assume good faith" part in the Wikipedia AfD Page. Also, I'm a new user, so I'd appreciate some more time to get used to Wikipedia and clean up the article before everyone decides to demolish it. 2) First two references on the page demonstrate the validity of the basic claims of the article. The references aren't well documented yet, but the pre-existence of the concepts is, if you read the first two links. 3) User who nominated this page for deletion, Ultramarine, seems to have both a personal problem with the article, and a history of being an extremely biased Wikipedia user in general (see his profile for more info). After a brief discussion, he refused to commmunicate further and immediately opted for deletion. See Talk:Quality Utilitarianism. 4) Concept by name isn't more than 5 years old, and not very strongly spread by name into most Utilitarian talks. Just like the esoteric topic "Set-Theoretic Models of Disjunctive Operators", not getting what you look for in 20 Google hits doesn't at all provide a good argument that it isn't a pre-established topic. Twiffy 18:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Articles need to adhere to Wikipedia policy from the very beginning. In particular, you need to cite verifiable proof that "Quality Utilitarianism" is a current term, and not something you made up. Relax - you have 5 days. And if you can't do it in 5 days, copy the page to your user space before then - maybe at User talk:Twiffy/Quality Utilitarianism and keep working on it there until it meets Wikipedia policy.

• Delete, do not userfy. Userfying is pointless when the author only contributes to their own vanity page. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Userfy is what I would have done. Andrew, consider this: person comes along and creates article on themself. Maybe cluelessly, maybe deliberate vanity. Scenario 1: delete, chomp. Scenario 2: Move to user space, subst template:nn-userfy and leave a welcome message. I would say that the trivial effort in doing 2 is justified if as many as 1 in 100 people go on to contribute properly instead of just walking away. I haven't userfied my 100th yet so I don't know if that is going to happen, I am a notorious idealist. But anyway, userfy is what I would do here, the user page is redlinked. - Just zis  Guy, you know? ^[T]/_[C] 13:53, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete vanity. The point of a user page is to describe a Wikipedia contributor. Someone who comes here just to write a vanity page wants the page as an article, and would not have written it in a user page no one would ever find. Elfguy 13:54, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Merge and delete to Stoner film per Kinu (if there's anything in there that can be salvaged, which doesn't appear likely), as this is actually a genre. --Rory096 04:43, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete straight up per Ruby. Stoner film already covers all material in this article, and nobody is likely to search for the phrase 'Stoner-comedy'. --Lockley 05:36, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Redirect to stoner film. The creator of this article changed the links to stoner film on the Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle page to point to stoner-comedy, then filled in the resulting redlink. Stoner film is an accurate and more widely recognized term for such movies (which, unless I'm missing something, are pretty much always comedies, so distinguishing "stoner comedy" from "stoner film" would be kind of pointless). Don't think there's anything useful to merge, but redirects are cheap, fun, and easy. -- Jonel | Speak 05:42, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Copied from Talk:Martha Mier: Seems fairly well-known and prolific as a producer (writer?) of sheet music for piano/organ. 31 author credits on Amazon [26] for various sheet music collections.

• Comment Looks reasonably notable, but I'm not sure what guidelines would apply to a writer of sheet music. Ergot 18:02, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak Keep and stub. This is one of those situations that falls outside the criteria WP:MUSIC was designed for. She seems fairly notable within the realm of sheet music publication, working on the Alfred series of piano tutorial books.--Isotope23 18:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete - questionable notability and hardly worth keeping as an article, it's too short to even claim to be a stub. Get rid -- Death Eater Dan 20:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete I even have several doubts about her notability --Angelo 04:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. Fairly notable in her field, even if completely nn outside of it. Maybe in the future, the folks at WP:MUSIC might want to look into amending their stuff to cover situations like this.--み使い Mitsukai 06:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Can't establish notability, two-line substub with no reasonable prospect of expansion. Delete without prejudice, i.e. don't slap a G4 speedy tag on a recreation of the article which includes proper assertions and verifiable details. Stifle 13:24, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

I dont think it would be a good outcome for the material to end up back in the Battlefield 2 article without being strictly verifiable.

[edit] Wes Vandenberg

At the center of a school-finance scandal, but not notable as 43 Google hits demonstrate. Daniel Case 04:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment. 227 hits for "wes vandenburg". Still not a large number, but it made local news so it might qualify. Snurks ^{T C} 05:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep,I'm showing 77 Google hits and notable as he has been accused of misuse of school funds in now 3 differnt school districts. Two in Michigan and 1 in Arizona.

77 Google hits is more than I got, but still doesn't begin to break the threshold. Nor does being accused of a crime in two different states ... if that established notability (notoriety?), we'd have tons of articles on two-bit crooks. Daniel Case 05:16, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] International Speak Like A German Day

0 google hits, not an established holiday, despite this "declaration" [28]. I suspect we might get a lot of new users showing up to tell us how important it is, I'd like to remind them that we need verifiable evidence from third-party sources, personal assertions are not sufficient. Kappa 05:04, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable. --Allen 05:12, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. Non-notable. No external verifiability; all "references" provided are self-referential, and even searching for the broader "speak like a German" yields nothing relevant. Also calling WP:VAIN and WP:POINT on statement and first person pronoun use: "This is an established thing. WikiPedia can't delete it, because I delcare it established. - Kez". Not even close to being Pirate Day, of which even I've heard. --Kinu 05:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Dont delete. ZGeek.com is a Third Party Source. As I have created this new "holiday" as you would like to call it, I will call your attention to http://forum.zgeek.com/showthread.php?t=46967. That thread has a number of "third party sources", that will verify that people have actually partaken in this "holiday". Wikipedia being the first party, myself being the second party, and ZGeek.com being the third party, thus justifiably making any form of "personal assertions" a valid confirmation. I see that this is all about a "majority", and how can you critisise this if you've never heard of it? You've all heard of Talk like a Pirate day, because people got the word out. We are trying to get the word out, so in effect, you're generating a nice big slab of hyprocracy and supression on the internet. Non-notable? You're not even giving it a change to be notable.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 202.44.182.149 (talk • contribs).
  • Comment: An item generally belongs on Wikipedia after its notability is established, as Wikipedia is not a cart-before-the-horse means for establishing this notability, nor is it for "advertising" to that end. I doubt anyone is criticizing it for never having heard of it; not trying to bite, but I feel they are simply stating that it does not gel with why wikipedia exists. As for Pirate Day, that page was first created, per its revision history, in 2003, certainly well after its inception and popularity grew per the article's references; thus the comparison here is fallacious. --Kinu 05:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Previously nominated. Failed to meet concensus, but the clear requirement was for it to be expanded. Many doubted that it could be expanded, and indeed the article has hardly been touched since then. I believe it's beyond redemption. Delete.

It's a free encyclopedia... Viralmonkey 17:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• • Comment: I will address these succinctly without biting. a) As it has ended up on AfD, the operative question really should be "What good does it do to stay here?"; b) Interesting and important do not necessarily equal notable; c) A "free encyclopedia" does not equal a "free-for-all". --Kinu 18:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

In order for it to be complete it must have an article about everything. This has never been achieved and won't be for a long time but if you take off this article you are just moving wikipedia farther from that goal. And just because this is a fansite doesn't mean it should be removed. Just go to the main page and do a search on "Fan Site" and 11 pages of matches will come up. --Eddie 23:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Christian Jantzen

Seems to be an nn sports reporter. Article is orphaned and unverified. A Google search for "Christian Jantzen" "SBS television" brings up only 1 hit. In addition, article reads suspiciously like a copyvio. Abstain for now, will take into account further arguments first. Zunaid 08:26, 8 February 2006 (UTC) Delete per Capitalistroadster and Blnguyen, this guy doesn't seem notable enough. Zunaid 07:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep: It seems like a copyvio but it's not. This user ben.carbonaro is a young journalist whose style happens to resemble that of a marketing biography. Google searches for notable Australian figures don't prove anything. I can tell you he is much more notable than Max Walker (Canadian), but due to the locality of Walker, he gets more google hits.
• You ever thought of adding meaningful content to wikipedia instead of deleting everything you see? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rogerthat (talk • contribs). Rogerthat ^Talk 09:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I think about it, heck sometimes I even do it. I get more joy out of pruning the 'pedia though. Zunaid 07:58, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak delete Reporter for national network but for not notable enough yet for mine. 10 Google hits for "Christian Jantzen" SBS see [29]. The page that this page could well be a copyvio is his bio at SBS [30]. I was considering speedy deletion as a copyvio before seeing Rogerthat's explanation. Capitalistroadster 09:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• As I've said, Google hits are very unindicative of a person's notablity when based in Australia. For example, search for "Mark Doran journalist", and of the 300 hits there you will find very little related to the Mark Doran who is a very big sportscaster in Australia. The fact that Mark Doran is a common name boosts his hits, it's unfortunate than Jantzen has a unique name ;) :p Rogerthat ^Talk 10:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• I'm Australian and I'm unconvinced by that argument. There aren't that many more Canadians that Australians. I follow sports fairly closely in Australia and I've never heard of Mark Doran. I hadn't heard of Jantzen either. Capitalistroadster 11:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Not hearing of Jantzen, I'll give you some leeway, although most sports fans should certinaly know him. But not hearing of Doran makes me question your interest in sports because he is a big name in journalism, radio and TV. That was just an example the Max Walker one, but there are many American journalists you could search for that are as notable or less notable than Jantzen that would get a much higher number of Google hits for the simple fact they are based in America where there is information on everyone. Australia doesn't have a huge presence on the Net compared to America. Search for "AFL DVD's" and the game's huge popularity does not give the expected amount of hits. Rogerthat ^Talk 10:34, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Australia-related deletions. -- Capitalistroadster 09:55, 8 February 2006 (UTC)"
• Personally, I think the profile of Christian should stay there as he does virtually everything from down here in Melbourne and he does a good job at it as well. His general knowledge of sport is great and he isn't afraid to have a go at reporting on lesser known sports, for example he did a gret job covering the World Gymnastics Championships including an exclusive interview with Western Australia gymnast Olivia Vivian and her parents. --Ben.carbonaro 10:45, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. On-camera reporter for a national/continental television network. Meets consensus notability standards applied in similar cases. Article badly needs cleanup, and would be seen as a copyvio if Wikipedia's standards weren't ridiculously lenient. Monicasdude 14:08, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

        • Wikipedia doesn't need comments like that either. Obviously AfD can be heated, but it's not a count of votes. If someone says to delete the aricle doesn't appear to be verified, you are entitled to counter that with sources (which should be added to the article). Telling editors that they don't belong on Wikipedia over an AfD vote doesn't help anyone. —Whouk (talk) 12:21, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Philippine Cyberservices Corridor

Delete for two reasons. One, this is definitely already a promotional article, no matter how one salvages it, and wikipedia is not a promotional tool. The corridor is not even notable. There are so many tech facilities spread out all over the country, the whole country is a corrider? The Philippines also does not have a high technology district, that can be compared to Silicon Valley, even just in notability. Two, part of its title "cyberservices" is not used in technical or mainstream in any language, other than by its marketing inventors, see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cyberservices. Note to everyone, I am Filipino, and I am not race bashing.

Simply put, it does violate 2 sections of policy. Deliberately promoting what is definitely 'not there, and predicting way too far in the future. A new administration can change alot. I rephrased in order to not sound offensive to any newbies. ;) --Noypi380 10:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete, as mentioned. More importantly pls read the responses below --Noypi380 11:44, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

This is a high-technology business district, the same as the others listed in this Wikipedia entry. This deserves its own entry as much as the rest.

Its not a high-technology business district, its 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga. Pls try comparing that to Silicon Valley. That distance is almost the 9/10's of our country! Definitely not notable. --Noypi380 09:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep --Mikeabundo 15:53, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

If we were to pursue logic of Noypi380, we would have to delete all other entries in the category High-technology_business_districts as well. The reason why Noypi380 has targeted this entry is his/her anti-Filipino attitude, as can be seen from his/her other posts.

I'm not anti-Filipino coz I am Filipino, and proud of it. I challenge you to cite a post that is anti-anything. My user name "Noypi" when reversed is "Pinoy", which at home is short for Pilipino (Tagalog), or Filipino in English. Pls read all of my work before you judge me. Pls see our Filipino community portal. The corridor is also not a high technology district, the Philippines has none, and I am a Filipino who is honest about that. :) --Noypi380 09:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep

You may be right about Noypi380. For this person to say "the corridor is not even notable" is a contradiction to the Philippine president's statement that over 100,000 people are employed in the corridor. It seems this person is biased against the Philippines, and I would not be surprised if this person comes from a country that competes with the Philippines for offshore work.

Why target the Philippines? Why is Noypi380 silent about other corridors in other countries?

Pls try to compare the corridor which is 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga with Silicon Valley. That is almost the 9/10's of our country! The government is trying to make our whole country a corridor? Truthfully, no. --Noypi380 09:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

What is going on is the government is taking credit for those over 100,000 tech workers. Those over 100,000 are being employed in tech-related enterprises, spread out all over the country. The government conveniently credited themselves, by calling it all a "corridor", as if the government planned it ahead of time. That is why it is not notable, and it would be more politically correct to remove it. Silicon Valley is definitely a corridor. Though I am Filipino, I am the first person who would admit that there no such place in our country remotely like Silicon Valley, no matter what the government labels it. --Noypi380 09:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Lastly, I believe that the votes about this point, 2 votes and comments all in all, are from one and the same person, source, or organization. Wikipedia is not for promotion! Even though its from the government!--Noypi380 10:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

For the record, I'm not with the government. Heck, I don't even like the government. I'm certainly not Dondi, either. I'm Mike Abundo, from mikeabundo.com. --Mikeabundo 11:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

I was not refering to Dondi, source does not matter, that article is clearly promotion. Articles in wikipedia must be notable, or are expected to be notable! Its not even notable in the Philippines! --Noypi380 12:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

(Note: I am the author of the article)

• Keep Dondi 00:52, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 11:32, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep but cleanup as it does appear to be notable as it is or is intended to be a significant business district. The article could easily contain a NPOV explanation of whether it actually is. Comment not sure why an anon user is failing to assume good faith in Noypi380 who does appear to know more about this than anyone else who has posted here. MLA 12:01, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

That is the problem, there is no intended district, just 600 miles of country, in a small country. It is not a notable tech/business district because it is not a district at all. The article is like a hypothetical United States Tech corridor from San Francisco to Chicago! All that land is a corridor!? --Noypi380 12:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

There is a scientific research corridor called the International Northeast Biosciences Corridor that stretches from Quebec to Connecticut, over 1000 miles. Yes, all that land is a corridor! Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes sir, but pls compare further. Firstly Mr. Commissioner, is your corridor existing, or is just hype? Does the effort at its current stage, if ever, warrant an article in Wikipedia, or just in local newspapers? Just because the plan is big does not mean it should be in Wikipedia already. Wait and see. The goal is too far off, too unpredictable. Or can you say "600 miles of fiber optic cable" is equal to "the corridor", and then put an article here on the whole corridor? No sir. It is best that the article only exist if/when that dream is almost a reality, unless crystal balls are back in fashion. Secondly, the article cannot deliberately mislead readers promoting what is not there. Perhaps, alot have already been mislead. --Noypi380 09:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I agree with Noypi380; the "Philippine Cyberservices Corridor" doesn't really exist, except as a concept not yet fully realized. Since the only sources cited for its existence are two speeches by President Arroyo, and she doesn't even name it as "Philippine Cyberservices Corridor," I see no reason why this article should exist at this point in time.Note: I am Filipino. Noelle De Guzman 13:13, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Please check the link to the 2005 State of the Nation Address. Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• I checked it now (although it's not really a link to the text of the Address itself, but a link to the Executive Summary of the address), and I stand corrected. Perhaps it would be better to talk of this Corridor NOT as a defined land area (as the article says), which perhaps is the source of Noypi's delete vote. I would say Keep if the article is reworded to include the following information from the Executive Summary of the SONA:

"Philippine CyberServices Corridor, an ICT belt stretching 600 miles from Baguio City to Zamboanga which is envisioned to provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards."

Noelle De Guzman 02:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

• amended to Merge: I might have said "delete" again since the PCC doesn't really exist and I agree with Noypi's assessment that WP can't see into the future. But I think the information in the AfD'd article would be better placed in Business process outsourcing in the Philippines as long as it's NPOV. Noelle De Guzman 03:40, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep it seems notable, and the article has several sources. However the article should be modified to be more NPOV and look better. Elfguy 14:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete, for the reasons below:

Although President Arroyo mentioned about a "cyberservices corridor" in the speech cited on the page, it is only but a mere concept. The Philippine Cyberservices Corridor does not even exist yet in reality as of yet. Also, the chosen resource in itself is faulty. If President Arroyo talks about the concept of the Philippine Cyberservices Corridor, that does not mean that the corridor exists, even if she tries to promote forming a corridor by the end of her term. As of now, while cyberservices are booming, there is no concrete proof that the corridor even exists.

--Akira123323 14:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

P.S.: Just for the record, I'm a Filipino too. I may be critical of the concept but that does not mean I am anti-Filipino, judging by the comments I read above.

• Delete. You might as well redirect to Philippines-- since this "corridor" seems to span the length of the entire country. It's like having a United States "corridor" that spans from Seattle to Miami. Coffee 14:58, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

-Actually, as with the International Northeast Biosciences Corridor that stretches from Quebec to Connecticut, only selected locations are allowed to call themselves part of the corridor. Specific criteria must be met. Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

That is the precisely the point Mr. Commissioner, international readers may be misled that the thing is up, or is going to built soon, when you compare it to such examples. It seems you are still planning you're corridor. For now, it would be best to remove this article, and build a new one when you're corridor is nearly finished. Your successor might even change its name, there are so many unpredictables. Am I right to assume that you do not yet have the criteria for selecting locations for the corridor? We cannot promote what is not yet there, sir. It might not be even notable when it already built. That is why the article should not exist, yet. :)--Noypi380 09:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

good suggestion. will implement. some salient facts to point out!

-the backbone of the corridor (fiber optic network) was established in the late '90s via the telecomms deregulation

-the true resource of the corridor are the people, product of decades of enlightened educational policies

-the job generation was the result of a conscious effort of government to attract investors by establishing financial incentives and special economic zones

-promotion of the industry has been spearheaded by trade missions led by senior government officials since the late '90s

-for cities to be recognized as bonafide locations within the corridor, there is a defined process and criteria Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Well, it is there... the land is there. There is controversy on its characteristics but the stretch of land does exist.

• Keep. (Merge, see below) Noypi, your motivation for deletion seems to be based on the fact that the article is biased towards the Philippine Cyberservices Corridor being a "real" high-tech district, not whether the concept is notable or not. I believe the concept is notable, considering the government is actively promoting it. Now, whether this 600-mile stretch of land should be considered a high-tech district or not is for the two sides of POV to battle out in the article. Noypi, I have added your point of view to the article. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-08 21:59Z

Well, I also thought of using an NPOV tag too, but I still seriously doubt that the article should be here in wikipedia. Pls allow me to clarify the terms first since there is a confusion, I was not able to speak properly when I read those offensive comments, and I was emotionally swayed. --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

For the moment let us all call the corridor "PCC". There are two PCCs in question here. One is the planned future PCC, which is based on a source, (only the presidential speeches). The other one is the "current" PCC, (subject of the article before you edited it). That "current" PCC is not sourced, is not planned, is not a district, and it does not exist, never mind about the area. That is why I argue against its notability, because there is none. Speaking in an NPOV way, it violates this policy. The one who started that article is also a government official in our country who is responsible for promoting the local industries. I apologize that he is promoting now something that is not there, and is also in doubt. On the future planned PCC which is not the subject of the article, that I concede is notable. However it is just a plan. Over 50% of long term government plans in the Philippines do not push through, even elections, and on that regard, that is why users Noelle, and Akira, and Coffee, all Filipinos, voted delete. We only start important Philippine-related articles only when we are already sure it is almost built, as too avoid this violation. That is how we do things in order to accomodate wikipedia's policies. The future PCC is a long time away, and "PCC" is certainly not the correct name in the future, and that is assuming we are using the PCC as defined in the speeches. The article was deliberately misleading, sourcing the "planned" PCC, and saying that is already here to a "current" PCC, which does not exist, and I was vehemently against. That is basically all of it in NPOV. That is why I urge everyone to delete it already. It can be brought back anyway, in perhaps 5-10 years time, assuming all goes well. But for now, it is a soapbox, stuck with little useful data --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

On the anon user, and Mr. Commissioner (User Dondi). I am disappointed that both of you did not assume good faith, when I proposed the AfD. You both deliberately attacked me even though you both knew that I am Filipino, even calling me anti-Filipino which is a common stereotypical tactic used by government officials against opponents. It is worse when it comes from people of your age and status. I hope it does not happen again. More importantly why can't you just contribute in the article called Business process outsourcing in the Philippines, an article that is supposed to accomodate, without being a soapbox, the sector you are working in. --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Out of line myself, pls observe, good faith thanks. --Noypi380 03:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Reiterating my decision to delete, a piece of evidence that I found can probably explain why:

"The development of the Philippine CyberServices Corridor which shall provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards was pursued. The Corridor, which is connected by a US$10 billion high bandwidth fiber backbone and digital network, shall serve as a “one destination” for investors, stretching 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga. Certain areas have been declared as ICT hubs with high-speed networks and connectivity: (Pasig-Ortigas, Makati, UP-Ateneo-Eastwood, Alabang-Paranaque, Subic-Clark, Cebu-Asia Town Park, University Belt, Davao). Additional 9 areas have been identified as potential ICT hubs: Leyte, Camarines Sur, Pangasinan, Iloilo City, Baguio City, Davao, Zamboanga, General Santos City and Cagayan de Oro." (THE 2005 ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ARROYO ADMINISTRATION, 2005)

What I question is that why would an article talk about a concept that is only a concept and does not physically exist. It is concedable that the Arroyo administration is pursuing the corridor, but pursuit of a concept does not mean that such a concept exists in reality. In fact, there is still no hard evidence that the PCC even exists except for the concept. Note that the first line of that quote mentions "The development of the Philippine CyberServices Corridor which shall provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards was pursued". Pursuit, as mentioned earlier, is not tantamount to formation. President Arroyo herself did not even give a timeline on when the PCC concept would finally take shape and when it would be completed. Because of that, it's still a non-existant concept and I still stand by my decision to delete. --Akira123323 07:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for your considered responses and explaining the distinction between the current vs proposed PCC -- the Wikipedia article definitely confuses the two (I have not yet checked to verify your claim that the two are indeed distinct). If indeed "over 50% of long-term government plans" are empty "electoral promises" then that should be mentioned in the article. I did not previously see the article Business process outsourcing in the Philippines - that is a very appropriate article. Merge to Business process outsourcing in the Philippines. Again, let me remind you that the existance of a Wikipedia article (or section of an article) on a subject does not make it "better" or give it more credence, it can also be bad. Corporations often advertise on Wikipedia, only to have their article become a description of all its horrible business practices rather than a description of the things it sells. For example, if President Aroyyo has made promises in regard to the PCC / PCC proposal that she does not hold, then this could serve as documentation for future reference that she failed her promises. —Quarl ^(talk) 2006-02-12 13:40Z

Yes, thank you very much. :) --Noypi380 00:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

It seems another option is to remove the categorization of the article from the High Tech Business Districts. With regard to suggestion to merge to Business process outsourcing in the Philippines, this would not be acceptable as Cyberservices is more than just BPO. With regard to crystal-balling, this is not acceptable as the $10B high bandwidth telecomm backbone already exists and can be verified physically, as well as the call centers and other companies mentioned in the article. There is actually going to be a MOA signed between the governors and mayors within the next 60 days to formalize the existence of such corridor on a local/regional level (it is already part of national policy on a country level). Upon such signing, article will be updated. Dondi 07:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Yes Mr Commissioner, but the work you are doing now in office is not equal to the "corridor". Telecom backbone + call centers + contracts is not equal to a "present" corridor (subject of article, non-existent) and is not equal to a "future" corridor (based on vague speeches of president who can be deposed even tommorrow). See how deceiving? I urge you to vote delete, and don't worry if it is removed. I'll help you out create encyclopedic articles related to the Philippine information/communication technology industry. Pls, I mean pls, vote delete, based on the reasons I said. I hope you change your mind. :) --Noypi380 00:38, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete- It's not good practice to publish planned projects. If it does 'nt push through it, becomes a fiasco/embarrassment. Better to wait a while. Maybe mention it under Business process outsourcing.--Jondel 01:01, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I agree. --Akira123323 22:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

In that case let's delete Superman 3, and all of the Category:2007 films... just kidding. --Vizcarra 22:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

That's an unfair comparison. Read the text above again, particularly my discussion with Quarl. This is clearly not like Category:2007 films or Category:2007 elections. Those things are almost certainly going to be done in 2007. The films have definite release dates, even down to the hour in so many countries. The elections have poll voting and counting schedules planned beforehand, with contingencies. The future "corridor", assuming the sources, does not even have a deadline, and has so many other uncertainties. There are so many plans but no completions in the Philippines. The "future" corridor is not even the subject of the article, for the subject of the article is a "present" corridor that does not even exist, read Akira's earlier comments. That is why there is no apparent NPOV dispute. No corridor, no dispute. You're confusing the future uncertain, unfinalized, plan with a corridor that is not there. See? That article has already been proven to be blatant act of deception through wikipedia. The planned 600 mile "stretch of land" does not automatically present itself as a corridor now unless the thing is fully or nearly built, if it is built. I urge you to reconsider you're vote to delete. Of course, all of this assumes were not kidding... :) --Noypi380 00:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep, I'm not sure what you want me to do. I sent an e-mail to Jump Mobile over this forum listing, and they did not seem to have a problem with it. I only made this link, because this company is part of Leap Wireless. Just because they are new, does not make them any less of a company. I am having a hard time keeping up with these comments. I do not know why you keep trying to get it deleted. I am doing my best to correct any and all errors.

• Smerge. No reason why we shouldn't have one (or more) lists of the higher number asteroid names with a line or so about each one. Suggest we merge this and any others between 18001 and 19000 into one article unless they are truly notable.
• Looked him up on Google. Very notable in my opinion. Should leave separate until sufficient entries for asteroids 18001-19000 after which should merge. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 70.190.151.43 (talk • contribs) 04:06, 3 February 2006 (UTC).

• Merge into a list of asteroids, unless this one is special somehow; I will not assume that anyone for whom an asteroid is named has at least some notability any more than being a professor at some university makes one notable...if your field is astronomy (biology, too, I gather) and you find some little something you get to name it after yourself whoopie; there are perhaps *millions* of asteroids (or species/variants) which means that someone gets to be the first to see each. Not notable. Carlossuarez46 00:55, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Merge the asteroid into a list, no vote on the person. I'm leaning towards saying that the criteria for having an asteroid named after someone are substantially more lax than the criteria for inclusion here, and that the occurence of such naming doesn't per se make that person notable. -- Jonel | Speak 02:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Non-notable, unreferenced game. Borderline speediable, although I couldn't find any criteria under which to do so - perhaps this is an example of WP:IAR. In any case it's here now, it's unreferenced, it's non-notable, and it's original research.-- PeruvianLlama^(spit) 15:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Dimes - I am afraid I completely disagree.

This is a real game. and whilst the rules written in a slightly tongue-in-cheek manner (i.e very verbose language was used) it was the best way to describe a relatively complex game.

I agree it is unreferenced, because we invented the game! How else will it get referenced without a start point at which to document it?

[edit] Academy of Medicine

Page points to stub on the French institution; considering that the articles which point to the page suggest that the intended target is an American institution, for which a page does not exist at the moment. Folajimi 18:25, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

• Comment This should probably be listed at Redirects for Deletion, where I would vote speedy keep, since it is the English name of a notable French org. Youngamerican 18:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
• Fair enough. Considering the literal translation that you have alluded to, perhaps it would be more useful to make it a disambiguation page instead? Just a thought... Folajimi 18:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Actually, that probably is not a viable option, as that is the name of the institution in Atlanta, Georgia. You can confirm this for yourself at http://www.academyofmedicine.com/. If you see any qualifiers for the name, please let me know. Folajimi 01:46, 3 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. I can't find any evidence this English term is ever used for the French organization it currently redirects to. If someone is interested enough to write up an article about the Atlanta, Georgia historical site of the same name (and can demonstrate some notability) I might support a keep.--Isotope23 17:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Delete. Seeing that I have yet to submit an actual vote, I shall do that now: "I support giving the page the deep six." While I might eventually write a stub for the historical location, I shall refrain from committing myself at this time. Folajimi 21:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep the english version got redirected to the french article Académie Nationale de Médecine. This is a real institution [43] worth keeping. Elfguy 13:48, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Just out of curiosity, why all the fuss about deleting a page that simply serves as a redirect??? Perhaps there are technical aspects/mechanics of Wikipedia that I need to be apprised of? Folajimi^(talk)
• send to WP:RFD. This is actually an inappropriate/confusing redirect and should be handled with at RFD and not here. Peyna 20:30, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Done Thanks for providing detailed instructions about the proper course of action. Cheers. Folajimi^(talk)

[edit] Modd Squad (SimCity 4)

No vote. AlabamaLlama was apparently trying to put this up for AfD, but did nothing but put it in the Feb. 8 page, so I'm fixing it up. His reason (given in the edit summary) was, "This can be merged with the "SimCity 4" or the "SimTropolis" article." Rory096 16:20, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

• Can we please just speedy-redirect to SimCity 4? The encyclopedic information is already there at SimCity 4#Modd Squad. -- Jonel | Speak 02:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete and create a smaller section on the SimCity 4 article if needed. This is not notable at all. Elfguy 13:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
• Slight merge and redirect to SimCity 4. Stifle 13:54, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Arkansas Truth

Non-notable blog. Alexa rank of 22 is misleading, as it's hosted on blogspot. An IP who has never made any edits before removed the prod tag without comment. Rory096 17:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
