[edit] Short-order marketing

Borderline advertising for creator,little or no explanation of what the concept is. Also seems to be a borderline candidate for WP:Complete Bollocks Eddie.willers 01:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Strong delete. Maybe not WP:BOLLOCKS, but not notable, no verifiability, no sources in here listed whatsoever, appears to be a neologism, and big time WP:COI, as it was created by the promoter. Remote possibility of spam. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete Sounds like an advertisement for one company's peculiar (trademarked?) name for their services. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 02:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete not notable and somewhat confusing --Cryo921 02:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Strong delete. Obvious case of self-promotion, bordering spam. Not notable in any way, filled with weasel words. JdeJ 03:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete, clear vanispamcruftisement with blatant WP:COI authorship. --Dhartung | Talk 08:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete, put it out of its misery. Sachabrunel 12:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete, most vehemently. Entirely vague and buzzword laden, a perfect example of complete bollocks in my opinion. Would you want anyone capable of committing this kind of prose in charge of publicizing anything? - Smerdis of Tlön 14:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete. No sources, little to no assertion of reliability, promotional and advertising at best, nonsense at worst. Arkyan • ^(talk) 14:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ssdt

Disambig page for...nothing: a page that doesn't exist, an extlink, and some other description that doesn't have a wikilink. Been tagged for lack of context since November. DMacks 01:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete, looks like a basic G6. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Wikiislam

It is not notable. MomoShomo 01:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete Nothing notable about it. Abureem
Delete and merge per MomoShindo9 Hikaru 01:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment WP:AFD#How to discuss an AfD/Wikietiquette, it says to avoid votes like "delete and merge"--Sefringle 04:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Going with delete here. Good idea, but needs more notability. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge as per the discussion on the page. --Haemo 01:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete There is nothing to merge. Non-notable. --Kirby♥time 02:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

This user has been blocked indefinitely.--Sefringle 05:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete - Non-notable. It seems that there is a tendency for certain polemic sites to be called 'notable' but this popularity seems to rest more within a small circle of like-minded people than in actual notability. The Behnam 02:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
STRONG KEEP. Notable, as evidenced by links to reference in published academic literature on page. Attempts to delete in spite of this are therefore in fairly obvious bad-faith, especially given the subject-nature of the article and the demonstrable pro-Islamic bias of many editors supporting deletion. There is no "discussion" concerning merger on the article's talk page (as Haemo asserts), just a succession of slapped-on deletion tags. There is no discussion among the nay-voting editors here on the article's talk page. Speedy Deletion has already been rejected.--Mike18xx 02:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Please do not make ill-considered accusations as that is uncivil. I don't know about the others, but I know you are completely wrong by possibly characterizing me as having a 'pro-Islamic' bias. For example, this doesn't conform to that bias [1]. Please, AGF, and defend the article on grounds of its supposed notability alone. You should retract your accusations of bad-faith from this page. Thanks. The Behnam 03:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

"Many" does not mean "all", Behnam; I did not single you out specifically, so I have not "characterized" you in any way (I am pleased to see that you're impartial). No retraction then, since, sans lack of discussion on the relevant pages (or, one gathers the impression, even any familiarity with the subject page at all by some of the pro-deletes), the calls for deletion and votes for delection of an article with references remain in bad faith.--Mike18xx 04:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Being the subject of a single academic essay does not make something necessarily notable. It's just a case study. MomoShomo 04:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

What makes it notable (other than the academic essay) is that it's the only Wiki project a citizen of an Islamic nation critical of his birth-faith could dare participate in without having his IP address logged (and therefore available to the government of said nation, or any other retributive entity for that matter).--Mike18xx 04:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

That has nothing to do with the criteria at this page: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(web) MomoShomo 05:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge to Faith Freedom International. While not notable enough for content, it is worthy of a redircet.--Sefringle 04:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge to FFI. - Merzbow 04:21, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep - I would otherwise argue for a merge to FFI, but seeing as it is a case study in a scholarly article, it deserves a spot on Wikipedia. However, the article needs to be improved to contain criticism of the website. There obviously is some, judging from the article. If this is not addressed, I would change my position to merge. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

There *is* a stub tag on the article -- it'd be nice if some other editors would work to improve it instead of rushing to gank it one way or another.--Mike18xx 04:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

If you can provide some source that the wiki is notable, most of us would probably change our votes. It's not that we are against the site; its just that we cannot have non-notable articles on wikipedia.--Sefringle 04:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Am I to gather, then, that a stub tag is now just the equivalent of donning a vest with a bullseye painted on it? What is a stub for, if not not to alert people to improve the articale -- rather than go, "Hey! Let's delete this sucker fast-speedy-fast before anybody finds two notable links!" Be that as it may, there are now multiple notable sources, so I earerly await "most of us"'s votes to change.--Mike18xx 23:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete, the information can be covered in a section in the main FFI article, no need for a separate article as it doesn't appear to been notability standards on its own. --Abnn 05:01, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep The article in a scholarly journal establishes notability independant of Faith Freedom International. That article also discusses attempts by critics to sabotage or marginalize this resource, so without impugning the motives of the nominator or voters, I think we should have a high delete threshold for this one.-Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 05:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

That shouldn't be necessary, as Wikipedia often deals with contentious material. Remember that there is also Wikipedia:Deletion Review available if you think that an individual AfD resulted in the wrong decision. --Abnn 05:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

~~Keep~~. I was skeptical until I saw that it is the subject of an entire paper by a respected Danish professor in a peer-reviewed scholarly journal; this is probably not the last word on WikiIslam.Proabivouac 05:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The criteria at the web notability page states that it must be the subject of "multiple non-trivial published works", not just one. MomoShomo 05:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It would be best if you could find additional publications as the criteria outlined on Wikipedia:Notability (web) requires "multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself", right now you only have one published work. --Abnn 05:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

More added.--Mike18xx 08:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Changed to Merge and redirect.Proabivouac 20:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The multiple sources requirement seems pretty clear. It should be merged and redirected, without prejudice against its recreation in the future if and when the situation changes.Proabivouac 00:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep per Rustavo and Proabivouac. -- Karl Meier 07:10, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete another attempt to promote FaithFreedom. Does not look notable to keep. Google search generate 49k results but majority of them are blog or faith-freedom website itself [2]. --- A. L. M. 08:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I don't think it's notable enough on its own (and don't know how the article could be expanded). Alexa rank over one million. Redirect to Faith Freedom International, with a brief mention in that article. - Mike Rosoft 09:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, some curious body might add WikiIslam's mission statement in the article. I've held off doing so just to see if *any* editor here was even obliquely interested in fleshing out a stub instead of just smothering it in the cradle.--Mike18xx 10:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak Keep does assert its notability in links, but actual site could use more traffic Guycalledryan 10:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Redirect to FFI Where is the notability here? I also have to note that after months of disappearence Mike18xx (talk · contribs) suddenly appears w/ something new. It sounds like if this user has been setting up the website before bring it here creating an article about it. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 13:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

If impugning the motives of editors is permissible in this conversation, as you seem to think, I'd like to impugn the motives of a curiously dispropportionate number of Muslimm editors who are Hell-bent on shoving everything they don't like under the rug. "It sounds like" (i.e., I am certain that) you have no idea at all what WikiIslam is, who created it (you could easily look it up just by following the external links, a procedure you are clearly proficient in doing as you're able to click my user link), and haven't the slightest interest in it other than learning that it's critical of Islam and must therefore be suppressed by any expedient means possible. Fayssalf, you are hardly unique in this regard, in this very thread even. Meanwhile, I have never proposed an article for deletion, no matter how lacking in "notability" -- I guess that's just the difference between you and me, Fayssalf: I'm happy to let individuals make up their own minds regards what is "notable" and concern myself purely with what is accurate, while you are of a thought-management mentality.--Mike18xx 17:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

First it wasn't me who brought the article here. Second if you think my judgment here was based on any religious motive than you are wrong and my history would prove you that. I've edited till today exactly 10180 unique pages compared w/ 269 of yours. Do the math. The difference between you and me is that i've never been blocked. That was a link to your block log of course (not mine) to show how lucky you are to be still in the community editing. So, my observation is totally legit. I suspect your ways to be clear w/ you. You came back suddenly to promote a website (whatever website it would be - based on one notable source). Good luck anyway. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 18:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

So, then, what's your excuse for just making junk up by implying that *I* had anything to do with the creation of ("setting up") WikiIslam (the site itself, not the page here)? When people just make stuff up, I quite naturally suspect their motives regarding anything else they do.--Mike18xx 21:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It is not based on nothing. I am sorry but i can't trust you. Please refer to this thread for more details. There has been a lot of fuss about it. You are not obliged to explain to me your raison d'être here in wikipedia but of course a sudden appearance after almost 9 months is highly questionable and i am entitled to announce it to the public.

—This is part of a comment by [[User:User:FayssalF|User:FayssalF]] , which got interrupted by the following:

Why is it so "highly questionable" if someone has an on-again/off-again affair with Wikipedia instead of being married to it -- eh? FayssalF? One needn't be logged in to edit this place -- except to CREATE an article. When one is not logged in, one's history is logged under an IP address, not a user-name. All you're seeing is the fact that I haven't created a new article in nine months. Meanwhile, I have this big, steaming turd in the form of your unretracted conspiracy theory that I have a hand in creating Wikiislam during my mysterious absence.--Mike18xx 02:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Quite unique? Probably. Quite unique to spot blatant POV displayed on my screen. Who edited this ill-documented (i don't have a name for it in fact) → "it quickly become a clearinghouse for news from Islamic nations and repository for information critial of Islam."? How, when, where? it has become a clearinghouse? Well this is our business here in this house and our duty is get rid of nonsense of this kind and we are doing quite fine w/ it.

As for if i have already navigated this famous and notable Wikiislam, yes i surely did in three occasions today.

—This is part of a comment by [[User:User:FayssalF|User:FayssalF]] , which got interrupted by the following:

Excellent! Now that you've been there, it should be clear to you exactly how silly it is to suppose that I've been working to make the place in the last nine months when it's been around since 2005.--Mike18xx 02:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

However, i noted the following:

The relatively long enough main article about Islam got 2 references in total! After more than 6 months of hard work they only could gather 2 references???? Is it logical for an allegedly notable clearinghouse wiki especialized in Islam?!!! Is this a joke or what? Do they lack expertise in there or what?
It says anyone can edit. Fine but Nope. It is just a misleading lie. To edit there one has to log in. So why they aren't clear enough? Why do users have to register ? Isn’t free for all as it states in the main front page? There is no explanation for that at the FAQ.

—This is part of a comment by [[User:User:FayssalF|User:FayssalF]] , which got interrupted by the following:

So? Register and then edit. Where's the lie?--Mike18xx 02:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I’ll leave to the editors there the task of being more creative on using templates. The same main article got a {{inuse}} template but not for the disclaimer which state that “This article is intended primarily for kafir” being this way part of the article intro! Do they have to put that notice on top of every article? If yes than they should obviously think about creating templates. When?

So which kind of interest I would have in it after that? -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 01:10, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you'll have an unlimited number of reasons to loathe and seek to delete this Wikipedia page because you do not like its subject regardless of notability.--Mike18xx 02:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Probably. Only if you take my 01:10, 17 May 2007 comment as nonsense. Please don't inflate the meaning of the term "notability". It sounds like you are talking about something really notable. If you consider that this clearinghouse wiki is notable because of one reference while the Islam article in that specialized wiki is using 1 reference more than i'll go to out on my limb and guess that you are trolling. -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 02:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

"Probably..."? -- look, there's no reason to write anything else after that, because your position on the matter becomes crystal clear: "Notability" may be important for Wikipedia, but for you it's just a convenient excuse to be exploited as best as possible before moving on to another convenient excuse to delete should previous excuses come up short. Why else would you cop to my inquiry ending with "...regardless of notability"? Thanks for the stipulation.--Mike18xx 02:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep It seems a suitable article, I see it being notable as it has to do with Wikimedia. Regards — The Sunshine Man 16:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It has to do w/ Wikimedia Foundation? How is that? -- FayssalF - ^{Wiki me up®} 16:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- This isn't a Wikimedia project. The closest relation I see is that it's running Mediawiki. That doesn't make it notable. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 22:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Sunshine had his term reversed. As the article itself clearly states, WikiIslam utilizes the Mediawiki interface (not that it's a Wikimedia project).--Mike18xx 22:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Noted, but use of Wikimedia, as I note, doesn't make an article notable. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge into the article on Faith Freedom International. only one source of real, substantial coverage - so it doesn't meet the requirement of multiple reliable sources. ITAQALLAH 16:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep/Merge - This [3] is only one aspect of the notability. --ProtectWomen 17:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

And the other aspects are...? MomoShomo 17:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

That WikiIslam is a wiki which doesn't display IP addresses so an apostate's articles don't lead to a fatwa being issued and him or her being hunted down by murder-minded fanatics.--Mike18xx 21:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

As I mentioned before, that has nothing to do with Wikipedia's notability policy. It really doesn't make any sense for you to keep bringing it up. MomoShomo 16:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge: Per Sefringle as at this point in time, it needs more coverage to deserve an article of its own. --Matt57 ^{(talk•contribs)} 18:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per nom. IP198 17:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete as unclear even if the Springer link is referring to this particular Wiki or not. Either way unclear why it is even remotely notable other than being a subset of Faith Freedom International (which in itself scrapes through) and certainly parts of a notable site do not automatically mean subset is notable in its own right. Ttiotsw 18:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

It is absolutely clear that the Springer link is referring to WikiIslam (although it doesn't help when Momo deletes the full-text link into order to obfusicate the issue). No one else is having trouble with that particular aspect.--Mike18xx 20:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge as noted above; if this gets more independent coverage, it may be worthy of an article in the future, but right now, it's probably best discussed as a project of the parent organization. Tony Fox (arf!) 19:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge and redirect, per much of above. gren グレン 20:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I believe there are now sufficient notable links and references for Wikiislam (which has been evolving as this discussion has been ongoing.--Mike18xx 22:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment - So far, references consist of an image on WI, an article about the satirical cartoons, and an article that cites WI as a reference itself. External links consist rightly of WI, a Wikistats rank, and two links to what appears to be a discertation making a case around "islamophobia" (sic) in conjunction with WI. I'm not sure that these constitute reliable sources for the purpose. My !vote stands, for now. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 23:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep- It is important enough to be used in a study of a scholarly paper and also was presented at a conference. It is therefore important enough for Wikipedia. With time, it can be improved upon. Outsider2810 00:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment If this article survives the AfD, I suggest that it be moved to WikiIslam (a slight capitalization change). When I first saw this AfD, I misread the article as "Wikii Slam" because of the awkward capitalization. I did not wish to move the article during the AfD, as this is obviously a contentious issue, and my actions may have been misinterpreted. Charlie 09:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Merge and redirect as per above. Obviously notable enough to be mentioned somewhere in wikipedia, not notable enough or seperate enough from FFI to have own article. (It's a stub as it stands now, but it seems that any extra material wouldn't be worth including on wikipedia.) Single academic case study not enough justification for notability - academics can write case studies about more or less anything! BobFromBrockley 14:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Redirect to FFI, keeping the history. Not notable for a separate article. John Vandenberg 02:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep. One of the very few chances for muslims to post editorials & views that might go against the accepted status-quo supported by their totalitarian regimes. I also agree with Charlie above that the name should change to WikiIslam —Preceding unsigned comment added by Populous (talk • contribs)
- Comment - User 3rd edit

The vote, so far, is Delete:7, Keep:10, Merge:12, give or take a waffling here or there. Accordingly, as the author of the page in question, I am merging the article on my own initiative -- and that should, I think, wrap things up here.--Mike18xx 05:52, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Merge. Ali sina could come up with 100 more sites and then we may have to include 100 more articles based upon the same shared notability. But because it is hosted by FFI and FFI is what makes wikiislam the article should be a subject within the FFi article.

Oh yes and the Delete as calculated by mikeXXX on 05:52, 18 May 2007 is not correct i calculated 9 Votes for Delete The last delete vote being given on 18:42, 16 May 2007.(Misleading with false information in a typical FFI style huh ? just kidding please dont begin attacking me)

[edit] Films with no title

Misleading name, not Films with no title, but Films that don't display their title in the opening credits. Reluctant nomination, because as far as pointless trivia lists go, this is one of the better ones. A summary of this style already exists at Opening credits#Recent trends, but this such a non-notable topic that to have a seperate article/list of films is excessive. The article was tagged as original research in March asking for "sourcing for the concept described in this article" but no sources have been added. Masaruemoto 01:27, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak Delete Although it is interesting, it has no sources. Every film on the list has a title, so the article title in completely inaccurate as the nom states. the_undertow ^talk 02:49, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Moderately weak delete There might be something in this article that belongs in Opening credits but this article is probably at the wrong title, and it isn't even sourced as a whole, so it may be OR of a sort. FrozenPurpleCube 03:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete - Obvious OR. Without any reliable sources, it must go. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:42, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete if for no other reason than the films have titles. Even overlooking that rather obvious flaw in the article's premise, if there are reliable sources regarding the trend in the motion picture industry to redesign the opening credits to omit mention of the title then an article on that topic would certainly be welcome. A list of films with their opening credits so structured is not. Otto4711 22:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete as original research, and as an indiscriminate list of information. Acalamari 22:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of documentary films by Indian film-makers

Grouping films together just because the various directors of those films happen to have been born in the same country makes this a list of loosely associated topics. Not much different in concept to having a List of documentary films by American film-makers or List of horror films by British film-makers. Apart from that, fairly indiscriminate since this also includes television episodes and music videos, and even "fiction" films. Masaruemoto 00:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- Mia Rose in Rolling Stone
- Mia Rose in Evening Standard
- Mia Rose in The Age
- Mia Rose in The Sun
- Mia Rose in BBC podcast.
Plus she's signed to Ryan Leslie's NextSelection label. The article just needs the sources added. Unfortunately, we've got absolutely no grounds for deletion here. --JayHenry 03:12, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

  - I keep finding more of a deletion trail Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Miaarose. But again, most of the press coverage came after this deletion. --JayHenry 03:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
    - I didn't realize it was a copyright violation. Well, delete then, and if anyone wants to use the sources above to restart it, that'd be great. We probably ought to start something with the sources, if only to head off somebody else from starting something without sources. And it should be at Mia Rose not Mia Rosa. I'll do it eventually if nobody else does, though I'll admit I have little enthusiasm for this one. --JayHenry 20:21, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Good call, Shira. I checked the user contributions of the primary author, and he/she has created and edited dozens of other articles relating to European royalty. I trust that he knows what he's doing. Of course the article is not A-class yet. Placeholder account 03:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Weak Keep Being the grandchild of Queen Victoria may not cut it, but she founded the Galliera Institutions, and I think that gives her notability. the_undertow ^talk 03:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep Needs references, but no evidence in nomination that the info on this stub article is inaccurate. Taking it at face value, she was a princess of a major European nation ~150 years ago, and is notable enough that a photograph of her is still kicking around. This page appears to be part of a network of pages on spanish royalty, so it is not an orphan page and is linked to by several clearly notable pages on spanish royalty. A legitimately notable stub in my mind. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 03:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep and hopefully expand. The Duchy of Galliera was established by Napoleon in 1812. From what I read here, it appears that Eulalia acquired the title through marriage with Antonio de Montpensier, son of Antoine, Duke of Montpensier. Stammer 08:53, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete verifiability is pointless here. Notability for companies WP:CORP is the criteria to satisfy.

Comment. When did stock-exchange listing become a criterion? Cyberpower PCs is not on Nasdaq because it's privately owned - so are Cargill and Enterprise Rent-A-Car, for that matter. As for secondary sources, the company's products have been reviewed by numerous magazines - for a start, see here (yes, I know that's the company site), or here, or here, or here.

- Considering we don't including English clubs that haven't been above Conference, and the English league system is more organized than the Dutch, my opinion is that the fifth level in Holland isn't notable. And I had trouble finding any non-trivial English source about the club, even if it meets the football project's notability criteria, I don't think it meets WP:V.--Ytny (talk) 02:34, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - "Considering we don't including English clubs that haven't been above Conference"......erm, yes we do, we include clubs that have played in the top ten levels of the English league system (i.e. five below the Conference) - I think you might be thinking of the rule on players......

See first nomination at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Steve Kramer (politician) 1st nomination. Delete Non-notable and not sourced. GreenJoe 03:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Co-chair of significant national party clearly establishes notability. AfD two months ago was unanimous keep. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 03:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- That's not notable. It simply means you chair something. Besides, they have 7 co-chairs. That's hardly notable. GreenJoe 03:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Actually, I think this nomination is pretty inappropriate given the very recent, unanimous keep vote. Links to Green party websites verifying some of the info on this page seem to have been added in response to the unreferenced tag. You don't seem to be bringing any new information or arguments with this nomination. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 03:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
    - It's been about 2 months since the last afd, so it's hardly inappropriate. GreenJoe 03:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
      - Comment This is crazy. The last AFD was a unanimous keep, as is this AFD. If he was notable 2 months ago, what would make you think he's not-notable today? This is obviously a bad faith nomination. --sumnjim ^{talk with me·changes} 17:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Strong keep I agree with Rustavo. The article could probably be beefed up a bit, but I think it is notable. Slavlin 03:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep notable major figure in minor party. more than local significance.DGG 06:16, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep: Clearly notable, the lack of reliable third party sources in this case is due to a systemic bias by American media outlets and publications, third parties simply don't receive the coverage that the two major parties do but being a co chair of the most important third party (currently) in the U.S. is certainly notable. IvoShandor 09:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. May only be a big player in second-tier politics, but is a big player nevertheless and visible on the national stage. Notability is pretty evident. Arkyan • ^(talk) 14:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep - Co-chair of a very notable political party. And I notice this nom is speedy tagging, prodding and AfDing a majority of Green Party member articles. Could be a bad faith nom. --Oakshade 16:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- WP:AGF. I saw a lot of non-notable articles in the category. GreenJoe 16:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
I always cringe when people claim systemic bias with regards to political articles. I'm also not sure whether being one of seven co-chairs of the party makes him notable. The complete lack of sourcing in the article makes me uncomfortable. Even the Greens' news clippings page only brings up five items when searching for 'Kramer' - and they're all from 2003. Going against the grain here, I know, but delete. (And the other co-chair that currently has an article. Rebecca Rotzler, doesn't look good either.} Tony Fox (arf!) 20:17, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

You may indeed cringe but are clearly mistaken if you believe the American media covers third parties with the same vigor they do the two major parties. IvoShandor 02:27, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

- With all due respect, I do not believe your nomination or comment "hold water". As I previously stated, being one of the co-leaders of a national political party is important, even if the party in question has little or no real impact. For the equivalent situation see Democratic National Committee, where we have articles on the entire leadership, such as Susan Turnbull. --JJay 19:41, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Elim Bible Institute

Un-accredited, unnotable school of unknown importance. I can't find out how many claim to attend. EBI lists three "faculty" on their webpage so I'm guessing its a small organization. Doesn't offer "degrees," but has a "three year diploma program." Fails WP:CORP. Arbustoo 03:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete Not accredited, no external references or other claims to notability. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 03:52, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep - If we can keep any old public elementary school, we can keep this. A google search for "Elim Bible Institute" revealed 795 hits. A search for my own elementary school Wildwood Elementary School (California) (searching "'Wildwood elementary school' Piedmont"), reveals only 614 hits, significantly less than Elim. I say this as an atheist, in case anyone was going to cry religious bias. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment 1) An elementary school is a public organization paid for with a large faculty[6] paid for with tax dollars. Thus, one could argue its in the public interest to have an article about a publicly funded institution. Compared to Elim Bible Institute, which is private and of unknown size/faculty. 2) Less than 800 ghits is very low. But more importantly that is not an argument to keep, see: Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Google test. Do any of the ghits show importance/allow for expansion? How does this pass WP:CORP? Arbustoo 06:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
  - To begin, that is an essay. The Google test, while not argument in itself, is perfectly acceptable as supporting evidence. My main argument was that if we allow basically any elementary school (when is the last time you've seen an elementary school's article deleted? Wildwood with its enormous faculty and student body of 271 students is but one among many which are permitted), we should also allow this institution's inclusion. Wikipedia is not partisan to public interest or taxpayer dollars, so I see that argument as irrelevant. There are multiple secondary sources on the school, see: [7] and other Google results. Admittedly, there do not seem to be any sources which easily and definitively establish notability, but this is not true for most schools. Small private high schools tend to be allowed, even if they are not particularly notable. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 06:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
    - How does this pass WP:CORP? Saying it has less than 800 ghits is more of a reason to delete than keep. Wildwood has and spends $8,919 per student every day of tax payer money.[8] If you want to talk about that school I suggest you take your comments there. Then again, many don't see what keeping an elementary school has to do with this. Arbustoo 06:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
      - It would seem that most schools' articles do not pass WP:CORP. In my opinion, schools deserve an article of their own. As for your taxpayer argument, Wikipedia is not partisan to the United States government and is not concerned with any institution's status as public versus private. No more Amerocentrism, please. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 06:45, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        I think most institutions of higher learning have, WP CORP: been subject to multiple, non-trival sources. How is this notable without sources? Arbustoo 06:47, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Cielomobile is talking about elementary schools, not notable institutions of higher learning. Most public elementary schools are even less notable than these theological schools, so it makes no sense to keep the former and delete the latter, save out of some bizarre "public" vs. "private" prejudice. Being publicly funded doesn't make something notable. Djcastel 16:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        This afd isn't about elemnentary schools, you can use the talk page to carry this on. How is this place notable? Where are the sources to write an article about? Arbustoo 23:34, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        That is just my point; rarely are articles on public elementary schools deleted, so unless someone is willing to begin a purge of all such schools, it makes no sense to delete this article. Like I said before, WP:CORP is not really aimed at schools, although "educational institutions" are mentioned very briefly on the page. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 17:25, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        How is this notable? Give WP:RS that we can write an article about. Arbustoo 23:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        I've already given my rationale. There are plenty of websites which list the college and basic info; just perform a Google search. The school's own website can be used as a source, too. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 04:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep many private schools have their own wiki page and the fact that one school receives government funding does not necessarily make it any more notable then one that doesn't. Guycalledryan 10:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC) Upon further thought changing to Weak Delete, school is not accredited which separates it from other private schools, but it can still be regarded as an alternative college Guycalledryan 10:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

  - And many diploma mills say they "choose" not to be accredited as well. How does this pass WP:CORP? Arbustoo 05:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    - This school was founded in 1924. It is not a diploma mill, Arbustoo. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 05:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
      - Who said it was? But I'm curious as to what WP:RS you have to confirm it isn't? Arbustoo 05:20, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Many non-notable schools/universities/colleges have wikipedia articles simply because they are places of learning. As Arbustoo has stated chosing not to have accreditation can often mean an institution has lower then acceptable standards, and EBI has no sources suggesting that it is other. Because of this the article cannot be viewed as being about a recognised place of learning, and hence without achieving notability elsewhere it must go Guycalledryan 06:47, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

  - Comment: It is usually very hard to find local sources from 1930s or so. But this does not mean that they do not exist. - In this case I think that their own website is a source reliable enough to write a stub containing basic data (location, year of foundation, theological orientation). And for the rest we can wait until someone goes through the pile of old newspapers...--Ioannes Pragensis 08:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    - Comment Why do we need sources from the 1930s? Since the article purports it is still in operation sources in the last 80 years would be fine. Anyone have any? Arbustoo 01:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
      - Comment In fact we should use all relevant sources regardless of time. But you are true, in this case there is no need to return back in 1930s to find printed independent sources. I've found two books which mention this school in connection with its role in the Pentecostal movement; I added both of them to the article, section References.--Ioannes Pragensis 11:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

I have nominated Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Preston Institute of Management Science and Technology (PIMSAT), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Randford University, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Islamic Online University, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/École supérieure Robert de Sorbon, and many unnotable "schools."
- Comment: Now two things: Your "comment" was an attack on me, and two you STILL HAVEN'T SUPPORTED YOUR VOTE WITH A SINGLE SOURCE! Arbustoo 04:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - I should have asked you on your talk page, not here, but it was not meant as an attack. You have my apologies, and I would be happy to remove the comment if you'd like. However, I have given a source, see my initial comment, in which I gave this source. There are other such sources which give basic information on Google. I have also said that most schools do not pass WP:CORP, yet they are included anyway, so unless you wish to begin a purge of all schools which do not pass it (pretty much every elementary school, middle school, and most high schools), there would be double-standard if this article is deleted. Hence, I do not believe WP:CORP should apply to schools. It is merely a guideline anyway, and it is not binding. This is a fair time to ignore all rules. I have stated this all quite clearly, though I have not specifically mentioned IAR. Also, please don't SHOUT. -- Cielomobile ^{talk / contribs} 05:16, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

    - Also, the source does provide basic information.

[edit] University of Berkley

Unnotable, non-accredited private organization. Has three WP:RS, but all are about the same issue: a 2005 court order. There doesn't seem to be much about this. I think this would be better served as a redirect to the real Berkley school. Arbustoo 06:31, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete redirect to University of California, Berkeley seems a stretch, is there another that I'm unaware of? Carlossuarez46 21:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Redirect would be confusing. They may have picked their name for the very purpose of being confusing. We'll need a careful disam if we keep this.

Weak keep they have the 3 sources. Daily Cal is probably usable in this context, they're a notable student newspaper, & that they bothered writing about this is in itself interesting, and then there's the other two. DGG 00:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Their own web site indicates you may be able to earn a degree in as little as six to eight weeks; this is a diploma mill. Some of the language from WP:HOAX may apply. A famous hoax may be covered, but a little-known one should not. There should be strong third-party evidence that many people have been taken in. ...a hoax may have received sustained media attention, been believed by thousands of people including academics, or been believed for many years.EdJohnston 02:49, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Interesting argument, but WP:Hoax does not apply. --JJay 00:14, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Has been the subject of much controversy as shown by around 150 google news hits[10]. JJay 12:39, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment You do realize some of those refer to the legitimate school? Of the ghits that are relevant they are merely stories that are already in the article referring to the court battle. But more importantly that is not an argument to keep, see: Wikipedia:Arguments to avoid in deletion discussions#Google test. Arbustoo 15:08, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment. News hits are always relevant to deletion discussions. They are a primary reason to keep articles. The school was in the news in 1995 when a recently hired college president was unmasked with fake credentials [11] . It was again in the news when the school was used as an excuse on a visa application in a case involving potential ties to terrorism.[12], [13]. Of course, there is the extensive national coverage of the court case [14]. All that without digging any deeper than google news. Given that diploma mills are considered a valid topic at wikipedia, and that this particular mill has achieved notability, there is no reason to delete the article. --JJay 00:12, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment. Substance is relevant. Numbers of times words appear are not as they may refer to other subjects or times the AP article is ran in different newspapers. Expand the article and show notability. We aren't interested in ghits. Arbustoo 03:32, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
    - Comment. Also I would like you to comment on your current Wikipedia:Requests for comment/JJay or your talk removals[15]. Your interest in AFDs started by me (and you consistently voting keep) looks more like WP:POINT/WP:STALK [16] than real interest in the subject. Arbustoo 03:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
    - Lol. As per usual, you want to comment about a lot of things, except the subject under discussion. --JJay 10:25, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
      - As as usual you don't address points. Arbustoo 15:44, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
    - And the relation of that comment to University of Berkley or this AFD is? None. JJay 16:42, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Nonnotable person per WP:BIO, i.e. no third party sources about him. Seems like a promotional piece for his publications. Also nominating the article about his son,

Placeholder account 03:44, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Nick Evangelista, Delete Justin Evangelista. I agree: The father is controversial in fencing circles, the son is unknown. jsavit
Keep Nick Evangelista, Delete Justin Evangelista. The father seems notable on the basis of the four books published by non-vanity publishers and currently available on amazon. He has an apparently significant fan base based on the quantity and knowlegability of user reviews, as well as quotes from independant publication book reviews on two of the listings (see [17], [18], [19], and [20]. Many of the reviewers seem very familiar with the author, and one of the reviews of "The art and science of fencing" states "Evangelista's book is likely to be the only book on sport fencing available at your local book store." It seems to have first been published in 1996 by a small publisher in indianapolis[21] but the edition available on Amazon is a 1999 edition by McGraw Hill, from which I infer the original edition must have been fairly successful. He is (was?) also the publisher of a fencing magazine that has been in print for a decade (though last issue was spring 2006).[22] Obviously the article needs work and better references but he seems legitimately notable in the fencing world. His son seems to have followed in his dad's footsteps and done little I could find that was of note. -Rustavo^{Talk/Contribs} 04:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep father Nick, delete son Justin. Rustavo beat me to it – the father is published, publishes(ed?) a magazine, and certainly seems notable to fencers, but I have doubts about the son. KrakatoaKatie 08:18, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Permanently incomplete list that is inherently subjective (as made clear in the preamble and on talk page), and fails WP:NOT. Deiz talk 04:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Define avant-garde, then find reliable sources that define these bands as avant-garde. Good luck. Oh, and the policy concern that this is a mere list of internal links? "We have A, so keep B" is not, and has never been, the basis for a compelling AfD opinion. Deiz talk 09:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep practically all bands in the list have been called avant-garde metal in many sources (Fantômas, Pan.Thy.Monium, Peccatum, Kayo Dot, maudlin of the Well). It's not a genre with many bands, but it certainly is a notable genre. Almost 40000 hits (without wikipedia & answers.com) on google. 400+ hits on Encyclopaedia Metallum. The tag is used a lot on last.fm. And I don't see how it fails WP:NOT. The genre may be hard to define, but it's as subjective as any other genre in music. --Emmaneul 16:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The :NOT concern is that WP doesn't host mere lists of internal links. Deiz talk 03:32, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Check out WP:FL and see what a good list looks like. List of dinosaurs for example. Proposing to delete all lists from Wikipedia, or in any way inferring that the deletion of this list would logically require such a thing be done, is ridiculous. Lists are not disambiguation pages, they require context and information - or, to put it another way, they should be encyclopedic. Deiz talk 10:56, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

They are most certainly not "my" criteria, they form part of WP:NOT, a core policy of Wikipedia. That many articles do not satisfy content policies should come as no surprise to anyone. However, this debate is about the article named at the top of the page, and no other. If you're suggesting that we should keep non-conforming articles simply because we haven't deleted every other non-conforming article first, you're ignoring this policy. If you're making a point, you can stop now. Deiz talk 05:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Please point out why the article fails WP:NOT. Like I said earlier in this article, I don't see how it fails. Therefore I feel your interpretation of WP:NOT is not correct.

[edit] Eastern Basketball Alliance

Small-potatoes basketball league, fails WP:N in my opinion. The article claims the league is "professional" but I can't find any evidence that any actual money is changing hands here. At least one of the league's "home courts" is a YMCA. The league's "official website" isn't very professional-looking, with scores for only some of the games. While Google returns a couple thousand hits, Google News returns zero, and despite living across the street from an EBA "home court" I've never heard of it being reported on in local media. Thunderbunny 05:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Looking at the external links there, and at pages like this, I'm not sure yet that it's not notable. They do sell (cheap) tickets [23] and get some local attention [24]. The lack of news story hits in Google is disturbing, though. JJL 12:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment While the Harrisburg team does seem to have it together, they seem to be the only team that does. (This might explain how they've won six straight league championships.) Good luck finding information on ticket prices, etc. for the other teams. Thunderbunny 05:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete unless Cleaned Up (or expanded). The article as it stands does nothing to assert the subject's notability, except to state that such a league exists. There are red links for almost all teams, indicating that they aren't notable, either. Though there are external sources that mention the league, no news reports show why the league is notable. ZZ 18:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep - The league has been around in one form or another since 1978. Also, I don't believe that some of the reasons listed for deletion: non-professional-looking website and the nominator not hearing of it in the local media, are acceptable reasons for deletion. I do think a stub indicator should be added to the article however. Stubbiness is not grounds for deletion. X96lee15 05:43, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Ransomware

As the author of http://www.jrandom.com/ransomware.html, I'm flattered by the attention but I don't believe this neologism has achieved notability, even in relation to Ransomware (malware). Schneier's Street Performer Protocol is a fine substitute. Erik Seaberg 05:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, I remember seeing a few people who coined a neologism argue in favor of deleting it but I don't think I've ever seen someone go to AfD with one himself - impressive. As far as notability is concerned, I think I even remember Bruce or PRZ using the term (ie. in this context, not in the other) once but neither a Google search nor a search of my mailing list archives resulted in any relevant hits. I suppose it could have been a Usenet posting (yeah, X-No-Archive does have its drawbacks too) but the bottom line is that I couldn't find much in terms of reliable sources. Hence, I vote delete even though I think it's an interesting article. -- Seed 2.0 12:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per Seed's eloquent consideration. The article even says that it's a "notion", and as anyone reading Schneier or Scoble or anyone in their circles is exposed to scores of "notions" every year, I would really have to see some sources that this was a notable or influential one. --Dhartung | Talk 08:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The subject has "made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in their specific field." as per WP:BIO. Less famous than his brother Jimmy, but still part of the Austin High School Gang that began the style known as Chicago Jazz. [26] Google references include Chicago Jazz Archive, [27], lists recording sessions and dates and some interesting information at Smithsonian oral history project. Given the importance of the group in the history of American Jazz, I'm sure the subject is also very well referenced in print. The article has incoming links from Austin High School Gang, Jimmy McPartland, Portal:Music/DateOfBirth/May 18 and four links from Wikipedia:WikiProject Musicians. Currently it is part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Jazz and was stubbed by one of their members as part of a logical expansion of the members of the Austin High School Gang. The article was created by an active Wikiproject and has been up barely six weeks. Paxse 16:40, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, KrakatoaKatie 13:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep per Paxse. I could only find passing references to him, so I question whether there is enough material in reliable sources for more than a stub, in which case there could be a merge to Austin High School Gang. Arguments for keeping or deleting the article shoudl be based on his role in jazz in the 1920's and 1930's and the creation of the Chicago style of jazz, and clearly not on his cab driving. Also, the number of Google hits is not very meaningful in determining the notability of persons active in the 1920's and 1930's. Jazz magazines of the era in libraries will prove a more meaningful metric of influence in that time. The fact that he is dead is also irrelevant, since this is not Livingpersonpedia. He was clearly a part of a notable band for an extended period. Edison 18:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep - but the article needs some significant TLC. Noting the importance of the AHSG to Jazz, a good starting place might be to expand upon Mr. McPartland's role in that group and the Chicago Jazz scene - thus asserting notability. ZZ 18:59, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep a quick Google search demonstrates that there are numerous articles available to establish notability per Wikipedia guidelines. The article does however, need a complete rewrite to make the notability clear to peope already not knowledgeable o the subject. Nuttah68 15:22, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sabian (wrestler)

Prod contested without improvement. Non notable independent wrestler, no evidence of multiple independent non-trivial reliable sources, fails WP:BIO. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 06:40, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Although not sure on his real name, this is a very recognisable indy wrestler, do a google search on him and you will find a lot of results. There is a hell of a lot of room for improvement including more citation. But the fact is, he is notable, has won numerous titles, onlineworldofwrestling.com link covers every single piece of information already on the page and is one of the most trusted sources for wresting information on the internet. (That in it's self is good citation.) Just the simple bit of research on the internet proves there is no grounds at all for the deletion of this wrestler and provides more than enough evidence of notability. Govvy 11:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment Do you mean this OWW which states independent wrestlers can pay for profiles and they are also submitted by them? Therefore it's clearly not a reliable independent source for an independent wrestler. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment To be fair Hack, that link you provided also says that if any info is found out to be false that they will remove all info of the individual from the site and keep the money. The site does make an effort to put reliable info up. Most people will not pay to have false info put on a website on their behalf knowing they will lose their money they spent to do so when they get caught. Theophilus75 14:57, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment That means that information is most likely correct, there for a reliable source. Govvy 11:33, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment You've missed the point. The source provided is not an independent source, therefore it doesn't demonstrate notability. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 11:39, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment it is independent enough, no wrestler pays them anyway. Govvy 12:05, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment As their own site clearly states, it's possible to buy a profile and the information is submitted by the subject.

Comment The problems I've been seeing is that certain number of people fail to see wrestlers as athletes, they have wrestling at the Olympic games, national wrestling events outside of keyfab organisations. These people put a great deal of effort into this business, they win championships. Now these championships are recognised by the wrestling commission and the wrestling commission holds a seat on the worlds sports council. Under all rules this is a sport. (Note: WP:BIO *The person has received significant recognized awards or honors.) According to WP:BIO rules, Joe Pinocchio (Sabian) is a recognised athlete under this distinction. Simply put, having any accomplishments down is a form of notability. Clicking the internal links of the CZW belts shows external link notability of his accomplishments. There for, under all the trivial talk above, according to Wikipedia rules this person does pass WP:BIO. Govvy 12:09, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

delete Not only are there WP:CRYSTAL issues, but an unopened school doesn't even have the minimal claims of notability that others might. The school has no notable almuni, no notable students who have performed notability at a national or even state level or anything else. Why? Because it doesn't even exist yet. JoshuaZ 18:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Uh, I don't really see a reason to delete an article only to have it recreated at DRV at the beginning (or end) of the school year. And, frankly, I don't see any WP:CRYSTAL issues. I guess, I'm trying to say I'm confused. Do you suggest we delete the article for a technical policy violation or do you have reason to believe that it's not notable? In the latter case, as someone who is pretty familiar with the area, I can say with confidence that the school will be sufficiently notable shortly after it's opened, even without any notable alumni. (I'm not trying to rehash "schools are automatically notable" vs. "are not" vs. "are too" for the umpteenth time - I'm just genuinely confused.) -- Seed 2.0 20:04, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

comment -- Well, if that's the case, then we could just delete it and restore it again in August. I made the article mostly to complete of the full set of high school articles attached to the district page here, seeing as the school just finished construction this week, its administration is already setup and running at the campus of Reagan/Doral High School, it already has an enrollment from local middle schools setup, and most teachers have been hired, but if that's the consensus then we can just restore it again on August 14. -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 18:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
keep. Has sources, and the article is in a fine state in anticipation of the opening of the school. There's no reason to delete it for a few months while we wait for it to open. — brighterorange (talk) 20:50, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete The school district web site is not an independent source. For one thing, the school district owns this place. I'd accept it for the boundary line. . It's the very example of indiscriminate--it must list all of the schools, notable or not. If you seriously intend to keep school district websites as usable for their schools, that is exactly the same in effect as accept all schools as notable. DGG 00:35, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment School districts are government agencies, not private companies out for public self-promotion; and where else would you find neutral information about schools other than school district websites? Your comments suggest that the information is being taken from some public relations website and not just standard information from government maintained webpage such as a school district. Should we also bar anything that the Library of Congress gives about White House History, seeing as... they... as the government, own the place? -- SmthManly / ^ManlyTalk / ^{ManlyContribs} 03:01, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hungary national rugby league team

This page is believed to be a hoax and no sources or reports have been presented to prove otherwise. The opening line is blatantly untrue as the qualification process for the 2008 World Cup has started and does not involve Hungary. The page contradicts itself on if the team played Slovakia or Serbia in round one and says that it will play Israel in round two.

Delete as a trivial association. Someone's place of employment is not an important aspect of who they are, unless it's the place of employment that makes them notable. That is not the case here. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete, pointless list. NawlinWiki 18:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per NawlinWiki; I disagree with the nominator's rationale and with Arkyan's statement: if one's employer is trivial we should be deleting all the company cats like Category:Apple Inc. employees. We're not for good reason: one's employers are not trivial even if one isn't famous for one's association with that employer. Carlossuarez46 21:28, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- My position is actually more toward NawlinWiki's. If the employees mentioned are notable for contributing to the airport's operation, then I wouldn't have nominated this article for deletion (a hard fact I learned from my nomination of Crew of Sesame Street). But the only people that are mentioned are involved in things like Air France Robbery (1967) and Lufthansa heist or are part of crime families is inappropriate as anti-NPOV. I don't oppose recreation or cleanup, but the list has to make sense and not ~~single out a certain set/class of persons or~~ create a POV from the people mentioned. Tinlinkin 21:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- I think you might have missed my point - the people in Category:Apple Inc. employees are notable as Apple employees, not just notable people who happen to have been employed by Apple. Someone's place of employment only becomes important if that's what makes them important. Arkyan • ^(talk) 15:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Oh really, when I think of Al Gore, the first tick in his notability box is his Apple employment. <sarcasm>Has he done anything else?</sarcasm> The same is true of lots of other people who are listed in various employees groups, people who once worked for X are now famous for doing or being Y. Carlossuarez46 18:25, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per above. Punkmorten 22:19, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete for unsourced information, the removal of which would leave almost nothing. Even if it is sourced, if the fact that these people worked at JFK is so important, it can be put on the JFK airport article. It's not like Crew of Sesame Street, which is clearly too large for such an action. Someguy1221 22:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete, if this were notable former airport employees, the way that Steve Buscemi is former NYFD, it would still be a bit pointless. As it is it feels to me like a goofy way to either suggest that other airport employees are also criminals, or that these criminals some how aren't noticed enough even though they all have their own articles and a couple of common ones (Air France Robbery and Lufthansa heist). The expectation for an article like this is top executives or spokespeople. --Dhartung | Talk 08:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Stephen Boada

Receiving a Silver Star is not a sufficiently notable enough reason to for an encyclopedia article. While a high honor it is by no means rare, I have seen plenty of cars with Silver Star plates around. Any additional sources for this would likely be of the nature "Boada received the Silver Star." IvoShandor 09:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Unless additional information regarding this earning of this particular soldier's place in history can be provided by multiple, reliable, third-party sources, this article should be deleted as it does not appear to meet Wikipedia:Notability (people). -- saberwyn 12:00, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep: The Silver Star is the third-highest award for valor in the US, outranked only by the Medal of Honor and the Navy Cross. If it was a Bronze Star I could understand, since they give those things away. However, this is one of only two Marines in the 3rd Marine Regiment to win the award since 1971 (making these the only notable valor awards won by 3rd Marines in over thirty-five years). Here are several additional sources on the action: [31] [32] [33] [34] Palm_Dogg 16:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Navy order of precedence puts not only the MOH and Navy Cross above the Silver Star but also the Defense Distinguished Service Medal and the Distinguished Service Medal, the Marines use the Navy's order of precedence. (See: [35]). The Army's order of precedence is similar (See: [36]). I don't think we would have articles in on recipients of the Distinguished Service Medal if that was their sole criteria for inclusion in the encyclopedia. IvoShandor 11:44, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

General consensus in the past has been that the award of anything below the relevant highest gallantry award doesn't in and of itself make the recipient notable from Wikipedia's point of view - as in, we don't have articles on people whose most significant feature was doing that. If this is significant in the context of that particular regiment, surely it would be more appropriate as a passing mention in that article? Shimgray | talk | 17:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment Seems a film of that title would get you kicked off a campus these days. --Infrangible 03:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
CommentThe first film was made a couple of years ago, long before the tragic events at Virginia. The sequel is not based around the lives of students; simply in the town of Durham. Both are UK based, so there is little chance of the film being actively prevented by the authorities. That said, the film makers (myself included) are currently considering changing some aspects to make the film more sensitive to the events at Virginia Tech. Slimjimmyb 14:09, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment It seems that the article has been mostly written as self promotion by those involved with the film, and largely for the wrong reasons. The reaonsSlimjimmyb stated on the talk page are not good reasons, but infact reasons that a website should be set up for the film for such content--Andrew Duffell 15:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete. I prodded it because notability wasn't established. Quoting some discussion on the talk page: "what this sequel has in spades, is potential. Even without the Patric Stewart footage, it has many reasons to become highly notable as a student film, but WITH the footage, it will be relatively unique!" The repeating theme is potential. It's not there yet. Once it becomes notable, that's another matter, but for the time being, it's not notable. Recreate it once it achieves notability, maybe, but now is too soon. —C.Fred (talk) 00:59, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep I do not beilieve this is a categorisation-just an acknowledgement of the fact that certain individuals from a particular community have been notable.Most included in the list were staunch opponents of the caste system-Vivekananda,Aurobindo,Rajendra Prasad,Jayprakash Narayan,Premchand etc.But one cannot ignore that they came from a particular community and gives no sanction at all to the inhuman caste system.I would fully endorse not having a category whcih is dictated by caste considerations-but an article is not a category!By the same token one would have to delete any refererence to notable Mormons,Jehovah's witnesses,Shias etc etc etc.Perhaps one solution woudl eb to include only thsoe whose notability is unrelated to their caste of origin.If that is indeed an acceptable yardstick,I think there is not much wrong with this list-it is just an acknowledgement that caste delineation is still strongly prevalent in India.(Vr 05:34, 15 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Japanese cultural artifacts controversy

I came to this page as part of the work I have started working on old articles requiring cleanup. This one had been tagged since September of 2005. I'm enjoying this work, which I've only recently taken on, and feel that I can improve articles even if they don't interest me. But this article is beyond my ability to help.

Yes, it needs clean up. But that's impossible to do, because—

the information lacks any context whatsoever. The only Wikilinks are to non-specific articles, such as articles on countries or individuals. There's nowhere to go to find out the context in which this issue is framed.
the information lacks any citations. This is a problem for a couple of reasons. First of all, of course, we want to be able to verify information in any article, but also, because such citations might give a "cleaner-uppper" like myself the chance to figure out the fundamentals of this issue. Without any cites, we can go nowhere with this article
the article gives the impression of being very POV—in particular, very anti-Japanese. Now I'm no Nippophile, but I still expect if you're going to demonize someone or a country that you better bring your facts to the table. And you can't clean up POV. To quote a line that I saw in a movie once, "You can't polish a turd." And that's what a POV-laden article is.

There is, by the way, one citation given on the page. But it's to some very unprofessional looking site called MUSEUM SECURITY MAILING LIST (caps not added by me). I just think that this article is beyond hope, and I urge its deletion. Unschool 03:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Sorry about that. It's the first time I've ever asked for an article to be deleted. Still learning. Unschool 14:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

See Stolen Artifacts from Asia found in Japan (AfD discussion), this, this, this, this, and this. Do those help you to work out what the subject of the article is? Uncle G 14:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

I won't have time to look at that stuff probably until this coming weekend, but I appreciate the help. Unschool 14:23, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep The main problem in the earlier AfD seems to have been the original name, and this is clearly better. Those articles are relevant, and since they're there that demonstrates sourceability. I'm sure there are additional non-English language sources as well. DGG 00:41, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. I greatly appreciate Unschool's dedication to this issue. I just don't think the article is unsalvgable, or that it strays from the facts, granted that citations are badly needed. Herostratus 14:17, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of films banned in Malaysia

Content is copied directly from the banned films article. This article is redundant, and can easily be a redirect link to banned films. Creator removed prod. Axlq 05:37, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:36, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Sorry about that; I got distracted in the process and couldn't return until now. =Axlq 14:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment perhaps a solution like was done for The list of films banned in Iran would be worth pursuing? There doesn't seem to be a Censorship in Malaysia article, but perhaps there should be one? FrozenPurpleCube 13:58, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Possibly, but there's no need. The article banned films already exists with identical content. There's no point maintaining the same content in two articles. =Axlq 14:43, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, actually, sometimes there is a point to maintaining content in more than one place, since it helps increase the chance of finding it. Besides, I think that banned films should have the lists there removed. It's barely over 40 countries out of over four times that many. At best, they're incomplete, at worst it's unsourced. In this case, since Censorship in Malaysia would be a valid subject for an article, I'd suggest making it and moving the content there. FrozenPurpleCube 19:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

After looking at the category, I decided to go ahead and throw up an article. It's incredibly stubby, but hopefully it will inspire folks to cover this subject. FrozenPurpleCube 20:13, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Rebuttal: There is never a point to maintaining content in more than one place for the purpose of increasing the chance of finding it. That's what redirect pages are for. Furthermore, banned films isn't the subject of this AfD; if banned films isn't already encyclopedic enough, then it could be made so. A general article on censorship in Malaysia is a good idea, and its existence is all the more reason to delete List of films banned in Malaysia and redirect it there. =Axlq 21:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Actually, no, redirect pages aren't what I'm talking about, as that only refers to title, but rather duplicate information. To take a random example, the population of Texas is at both Texas and List of U.S. states by population. Not to mention every other state. Would there be any point to removing it? No, that wouldn't be helpful. Now this is is a slightly different case, since the list is much longer, but there are options besides leaving the same information in two places or deletion. And I think that the potential length of information actually convinces me that it's worth considering that maybe the content of banned films needs to be revamped so it's not trying to list what films were banned in what country, but instead placing that information elsewhere and linking to it there. Since this isn't just a problem for this list though, I'm going to tag banned films for cleanup and discussion of that issue. FrozenPurpleCube 22:38, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete as per nom, info already exists in the banned films page. Lugnuts 17:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete as redundant. No redirect needed. This might be of some local interest in Malaysia, and perhaps in other nearby and Islamic nations, and presumably they would have their own Wikipedia. It is probably a reflection of the religion / culture there, which is fine, but it is still redundant. No compelling reason for this special list to exist in the English wiki. I might have sprung for a hypothetical "Banned in Great Britain" vs "Banned in USA or Canada", as a cultural-morality comparison or something, but this one is just a list copied from elsewhere. --T-dot ( ^Talk/contribs ) 15:46, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

1987 British children's books. The article is a plot summary providing little or no context. No evidence whatsoever that the book or its author are notable. I can't see how the book meets WP:BK.

[edit] List of cultural references to "All your base are belong to us"

Delete - nominated once previously and closed no consensus, improve sourcing. The sourcing has not improved, and the article remains an indiscriminate list and a directory of loosely-associated topics. The items listed here are unrelated to each other in any way beyond happening to use a particular faddish catch phrase. A number of the listed items are not uses of the catch phrase at all but are instead things that in the original-research point of view of some editor resembles or sounds sorta like the catch phrase. In summary, a solid mass of indiscriminate poorly- and un-sourced trivia. Strongly oppose merging any of this information back to the main article on the catch phrase. Unsourced trivial garbage doesn't belong in the main article any more than it belongs in its own article. Otto4711 15:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete per nom. --GreenJoe 15:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. The only reason why we have an article on All your base are belong to us in the first instance is that the phrase has become a staple of net-based culture, widely repeated and parodied. If it is thought that this information is "indiscriminate" or "loosely organized" (currently used as to try to make the traditional "cruft" argument sound more like "policy" and less like WP:IDONTLIKEIT), then the article in chief should be deleted as well. Most of the entries in the list are largely self-validating in any case. If it is thought that this data is too disorganized to appear in the article in chief, the right thing to do would be to move it to a subpage of the talk page for the convenience of future editors. - Smerdis of Tlön 17:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment - arguing for the preservation of this article based on the possibility of the main article's being deleted is a variation of WP:ALLORNOTHING and is not convincing. WP:NOT#IINFO is policy, as is WP:NOT#DIR; WP:CRUFT and WP:ILIKEIT are not. Characterizing policy arguments as a case of cruft by any other name or whatever is a mischaracterization of the argument, one which, assuming good faith, I will assume is based on a misunderstanding of the argument and not a willful attempt at misrepresentation. I do not agree that it is a good idea to make it convenient for editors to add garbage that will never be sourced to the main article or any other article. Otto4711 17:30, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Calling the factual data that other editors have added or tried to add to any article "garbage" strikes me as deeply uncivil, and it began when this AfD was opened. On the other hand, I have tried to remain constructive and suggest the right thing to do with "popular culture" sections that other editors find poorly organized. Perhaps it is time for a moratorium on the forking of popular culture lists or proposing their deletion. - Smerdis of Tlön 18:55, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Middle-earth in popular culture

Yet another "in pop culture" article. While I'll admit that the lead is written well enough and it is organized correctly. It still does not disregard the fact that it is simply an article filled with trivial references of "that time that that show mentioned the name Gandalf!") How is this information useful? Some may argue that it paints a picture of how broad cultural impact the works of Tolkien have been. However, on an encyclopedia, we're not here to paint a picture. We're here to state the facts in the most elegant, yet efficient way possible. Since it's information is trivial, and essentially trivia. It violates WP:TRIVIA, WP:AVTRIV (what with being essentially a trivia section in disguise as an article). This not to mention WP:POV, WP:OR, WP:NOT, WP:ATT and probably more policy pages that it violates. The Filmaker 15:56, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete - yet another mass of trivial piffle gathered on a page pretending to be an article. We do not need a directory of every single time someone in any fictional medium or even in real life says "hobbit" or "gollum" or "one ring" or whatever other fragment of Tolkienity some script writer happens to drop into a TV show. And before anyone suggests it, DO NOT MERGE a word of this into any other article on any other aspect of Tolkien or his works. It is worthless garbage in its own article and it is worthless garbage in any other article. Otto4711 18:32, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Coming in 2nd in a US Senate race may confer notability; coming in 4th doesn't with a whopping 1/2 of 1% of the vote does not.

[edit] List of people of Generation Y

I originally came across these articles because of the proposed merge and was trying to think of the best way of accomplishing this. On second thought I realized that even merged together they are problematic - for one, there exists no authoritative definition for Generation Y and thus the inclusion criteria are subjective. Furthermore, we have categories for births by year making this list redundant. Finally, is it a potentially unmanageable list as more and more poeple from this generation achieve notoriety and thus become eligible for the list. Arkyan • ^(talk) 17:35, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

ReplyThe Mayor of Philadelphia is notable. Without significant media coverage, a city council member is not. There is no source providing evidence of any such coverage. DarkAudit 18:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Reply Both Councilman Juan F. Ramos and Councilman John P. Kelly have Wikipedia pages. Jones is not yet on Council, but with the Democratic Party's dominance in Philadelphia he is virtually assured of victory in November. He is noteworthy for defeating the formidable incumbent Carol Campbell, additionally, the Fourth Council District seat is an important position with its previous occupant, Michael Nutter, having just been elected Mayor. AR-82 23:46, May 18, 2007
- Reply to Reply Just because someone else has an article, it is insufficient argument to keep this one. The articles on those two will need to be judged on their own merits. And after an initial check, it's likely that they will also go into AfD status in the near future. DarkAudit 05:27, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Reply Philadelphia is the fourth largest metropolitan area in the U.S. The decisions of its City Council affect millions of people. It's a valuable resource to Philadelphians for Wikipedia to have pages on its City Council members. Certainly it would be undesirable for there to be pages on the members of the City Councils in every city in the U.S., but that is not going to happen whether or not a page on Curtis Jones exists. To deprive Philadelphians of having a page on their Councilperson (as nearly every New Yorker does New_York_City_Council) is not justified merely to prevent a rash of pages on City Council members. If Curtis Jones were still the President of PCDC or a local ward leader I would agree that he is not notable. However, the position he will soon hold is an important one and he is additionally visible for defeating Carol Campbell, a longtime political force who was expected to trounce Jones (http://www.citypaper.net/articles/2006-09-21/cover.shtml). Lastly, Jones' close association with Rep. Chaka Fattah and State Sen. Vincent Huges gives him significant leverage with other politicians and will help him rise through the ranks at City Council. However, if you feel that Jones just is not sufficiently notable right now, then the article can be deleted. Thanks for everyone's time on this. AR-82 10:58, May 19, 2007
- Reply Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not the chamber of commerce. If the citizens of Philadelphia need to go find more information on their council members, there are much better avenues than Wikipedia. And that's the way it is intended to be. Referring to a future position is called crystalballism here. We are not supposed to speculate on what may happen. DarkAudit 16:45, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete non-notable article. Only gets 21 hits on Google for "The Kinkeh Dragon" (in quotations) and the primary site isn't even the first hit. After the first couple of hits, it's just RPG sites linking in, nothing notable or reliable. Alexa doesn't have any information at all (which is a shocker since most sites at least have something there, even if they aren't popular). Article is also written in an advertising tone.

Contested recreated article that had been speedied yesterday. Original content of this recreation was vandalism, since replaced with the actual content by the author.

"Author's contesting statement suggests that much of what will to come will be original research." This is untrue, and nothing to this effect has been stated. There is nothing more to come on my part, as I'm not all that knowledgeable about the site, which leads to "No sources beyond the site itself." That's why it's a stub. - MSTCrow 18:46, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment I want to note that I don't use an account for contributing to Wikipedia. Due to issues of conflict, (and personal identity) I'm more comfortable with anonymous contributions. However, I do use this account for edits restricted from anonymous users. (i.e., AfD) Although, I'm not sure why anyone would nominate this article out of bad faith. Have there been problems with this subject in the past? I couldn't find anything in the article's history that would suggest this. That aside, the article still doesn't meet the relevant notability guideline. I want to point out that Nihonjoe is the only user contributing toward its progression. I believe this is a strong case of article ownership. 65.6.50.204 07:11, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep Why are we back to this again? The article hasn't changed since the last deletion was overturned. There's really no cause for this discussion to happen other than that the deleter is hoping to slip one by when no one is looking. Dstumme 13:28, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment There isn't a single notable mention for this website. GamePro, maybe, but that's still pushing it. The editors have been given a significant amount of time -- both when the article was originally nominated, and after the deletion was overturned -- to provide more sources. Frankly, I can't even understand why the deletion would be overturned, unless this goes back to being a strong case of article ownership, as stated above. Secondly, the comments directed toward myself are irrelevant to the nature of this discussion -- comments should attempt to establish the notability of the article, not resort to ad-hominem because you disagree with the nomination. 74.242.102.194 13:55, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment We must be talking about 2 different definitions of "notable" then. GamePro is a notable publication, within the context of video games. In addition, I see a citation from USA Today, plus a link to a nationally syndicated TV news story. Dstumme 15:03, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment The problem is that these citations are trivial. For example, this is the only excerpt from the USA Today (online) article: "Another favorite is the Game Trading Zone (gametz.com) a site that allows you to trade games you've already played for other people's used games." I'm not sure how this is a notable mention... 74.242.102.79 15:35, 21 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment Nihonjoe and Dstumme are the only supporters of this article. Reviewing the decision to overturn deletion demonstrates this, as their votes were cast in clearly biased interest. Again, this is going back to being a strong case of article ownership. Unfortunately, this article doesn't seem to get much page hits as it is, and thusly, I don't think we'll be able to reach a consensus about this AfD nomination. Even if we do, Nihonjoe and Dstumme will likely continue to fight for another overturn, which is why I made the proposal to salt the earth. Bearing in mind, both contributors have been given plenty of time -- beyond what I would normally consider fair -- to provide solid references. Secondly, I feel some of the supporting votes in the deletion overturn log are a result of meatpuppetry. I'm calling for an investigation of both Nihonjoe and Dstumme. 74.242.102.79 11:56, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh dear This used to be a disambiguation page: [40] until User:Adrock02 managed (after several attempts were foiled by RC patrollers) to replace it with the article about the bank at the beginning of May. The bank should have an article, I think (it took very little digging for me to find sources), but that article should be Investors Bank & Trust and it certainly shouldn't be (most of) the article as written at the moment. CIreland 23:54, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment - since this was a clear cut case of vandalism, is it safe to close the AfD? --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 03:43, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

The AfD was not vandalism. I nominated it, partly because the article is such a wreck that it seemed a hoax. Although Investors Bank & Trust does trade on NYSE, there still seems little about this company that is remarkable. I think that the best thing to do is have the bank article at Investors Bank & Trust and have IBT be a disambig page. Sorry if my nominating for AfD was incorrect. —Gaff ^ταλκ 15:55, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Gaff, to elaborate, the AFD is not vandalism, I agree - the article that was AfD'd, however, was vandalized. The vandalism, last I checked, has since been monitored, and appears to be being dealt with for the most part. I'm suggesting that this be closed in light of that the article itself is fine. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Schools in North America

A "list of six" schools of which only two have articles. No context, content. If need be that's what categories are for. These schools are based in Naturopathic medicine, which is an area of contested claims/cures. As the article stands now, its not worth keeping. I added the notability tag, but it was removed within hours and no amendments made. The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges does not appear to be approved by the United States Department of Education as an accreditor. So this is basically just a org of six schools. Fails WP:CORP. Arbustoo 21:11, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

- Reply All four of the US schools are accredited by regional accreditation agencies -- with multiple sources provided -- which would establish eligibility to participate in Title IV programs. Alansohn 21:02, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep There are only three degrees in the US that allows a person to be a primary care provider or physician. MD, DO and ND. There are articles for the allopathic schools and osteopathic schools. You have to be uninformed or biased to brand our medicine as pseudo-science seeing that our program is heavily science-based and accredited first professional by the US dept of Ed. The Federal Title IV school code for NCNM is B07624. [41]. If you read this page on Title IV information, you will see that the American Psychological Association, Committee on Accreditation has the same financial aid status as we do. Also of great importance is that fact that there are associations who claim to be accrediting bodies for other types of naturopathic education who are not recognized by the USDOE. It is important that people looking for accredited naturopathic schools can find this information.--Travisthurston 17:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment This user created the article and is personally connected to one of the two schools listed with an article. Arbustoo 23:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep I performed a Wikipedia search for other "List of accredited..." articles and there are several. There are also several "List of unaccredited..." I really don't get the point of list articles in general as opposed to simple categorization; except that categorization is a black-or-white thing, where lists can provide some of the grey details. I certainly think this list/article could be expanded upon. Discussion of the kind of accreditation these schools have individually and collectively would be a bonus. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 17:58, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment This vote was requested here. Arbustoo 23:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
~~Delete~~ (see below) because of notability concerns. I have nothing against the idea, just the timing. A list with only two entries that have met Wikipedia's notability requirements is hardly enough for a list. First establish the notability of the other schools, then make the list. The following is my rule of thumb to reduce misuse of lists: "Eligibility requirements: If they aren't notable enough to have an article here at Wikipedia, they may not be eligible for inclusion here. Only include those with articles, so write the article first. Wikipedia is not to be used for promotion or advertising." To avoid the risk of the list title being blocked from future use, I suggest voluntarily withdrawing the list, moving it to user space, writing the articles, and then reestablishing the more fully developed list. It should be relatively easy to do this. -- Fyslee/talk 19:03, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Lean toward weak keep. I'm in agreement with Fyslee about the fact that the schools on the list should have at least stubs demonstrating their notability. However, I think this is a reasonable list, in that it provides useful, notable information. I'd like to see the text expanded, though, to specify exactly who has accredited the schools, and a brief description of why accreditation is meaningful. That said, these are respectable organizations which should be commended for going through the hoops necessary for accreditation (separating themselves from the truly "dangerous" (see above) degree granters out there) - particularly as there are quite a few fly-by-night programs out there. MastCell ^Talk 19:42, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment1) This vote was solicited. Shouldn't the list then be about the accreditation group that accredits these "schools"? Arbustoo 23:09, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep on the conditions that the good advice provided by MastCell is followed. -- Fyslee/talk 20:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment The creator of the article, Travisthurston (voted above), solicited for votes from people sympathic to this questionable "medicine." Levine2112, ATurnerPhD, Dematt, MastCell, andJim Butler. Travisthurston is personally tied one of these schools. Arbustoo 23:14, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: True, and perhaps I should have known better and ignored it or mentioned it. However, if you check my editing history, I've generally been pretty hard on promoters of unproven medical ideas and systems, so I was a little surprised to be solicited. I've never been accused of being sympathetic to naturopathy or other alt-med systems before :) My opinion is what it is; I'll leave it up to the closing admin to decide how much weight to accord it, given that it was indeed solicited. Perhaps it should be discounted or de-weighted on that basis. MastCell ^Talk 23:18, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: I also think that as editors in good standing, we can assume good faith here and recognize that our votes and comments aren't dependent on our personal views on medicine, but rather on the policies and precedents of Wikipedia. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 01:21, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment: It would have been nice for all those who came to the AFD to mention they were asked by the creator of the article. But yes, policy is important. How does the article currently meet WP:CORP? Arbustoo 02:18, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

The article would meet WP:CORP if there are secondary sources out there not just discussion these institutions separately, but collectively in general or the accreditation organization(s) or process as well. Perhaps this article should not be limited though to just North America. If there are accredited naturopathic medical schools on other continents, including those in an article such as this would only lend itself more to the article's notability. -- Levine2112 ^discuss 17:04, 21 May 2007 (UTC)

KeepI am fairly new to editing, however I am personally investing the time necessary to research properly each of the listed schools and create at least stubs for them consisting of verifiable content. It is my understanding that each of these schools is accredited by the appropriate regional accreditation boards in addition to the aanmc and I am researching verification of this and will list it in the stub. I apologize that I am in the steepest part of the wiki editing learning curve and am taking time to insure that each of my edits conforms to wiki standards to the best of my knowledge. I am not yet affiliated with any of these schools. Wikipedia should not be about personal vendettas nor about our personal opinions, rather it should be an attempt to summarize the whole of human knowledge to that end I believe that this is a valid stub and I will continue to work toward bringing it and related articles up to wiki standards I agree with Travisthurston that anyone looking into this as a profession should be informed about valid in all states accreditation vs not recognized by the department of education accreditation Neillawrence 02:20, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment New user who is also interested in the school Travisthurston attends. Both these users have the same interest in articles, and share the same user boxes. An AFD is not a vote; give reasons/links who it passes WP:CORP. Arbustoo 02:48, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep This is a list of the six accredited naturopathic medical schools in North America, and as accredited schools of higher learning, there seems to be near-complete consensus that such schools are notable by definition. Sources are provided to document this list. WP:CORP is not relevant here, as this is not an article about an organization or business. The nominator has had longstanding issues with both this field of medicine and accreditation status, both of which intersect here in this article to his apparent consternation. The Association of Accredited Naturopathic Medical Colleges mentioned in the article does not claim to be an accrediting agency, it seems to focus on the fact that its member schools are all accredited by outside independent and reliable, nationally-recognized accrediting agencies, while other such schools are not; This fact confers notability on the list of schools. Our place is not to validate the efficacy of naturopathic medicine as a medical philosophy or course of treatment; As stated at WP:V, "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is verifiability, not truth [emphasis in original], but the nominator seems to be fighting a battle here challenging the field as "an area of contested claims/cures." As the material here in this article is all verifiable, and serves an encyclopedic purpose, the article should be retained. Alansohn 17:40, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/EditPad

Articles for deletion/EditPad (2nd nomination)

Blatant advertising article of a software product. Does not try to establish notability, does not contain any references, or reliable sources. Vacuum Cleaner 01 21:09, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Speedy delete per G11 (blatant advertising) and A7 (no assertion, no reliable sources). Let the others vote. Though I still think there is lack of notability and reliable sources. Vacuum Cleaner 01 21:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
- Why did you start an AfD and then promptly recommend a speedy delete? I don't think you understand how speedy deletion is supposed to work. You should have put a speedy deletion template on the article and then waited for it to either be deleted or disputed. Bryan Derksen 05:03, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - User:195.113.33.33 did and it was removed very shortly after. I doubt it would last for an administrator to seize. Vacuum Cleaner 01 07:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- This is not blatant advertising. The things stated in the article are true and not worded incorrectly or inappropriately. G11 does not apply. Also, this is about a software product, and not any of the mentioned entities of A7. Therefore, A7 does not apply. —msikma (user, talk) 08:18, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete unless can provide independent sources suggesting notability. Someguy1221 22:03, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. G11 requires inapproptiate content, not just have a product as its subject. A7 is for articles about people, groups, companies and websites, not software products. --Urod 04:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC) (link fixed Urod 05:39, 17 May 2007 (UTC))
Keep. An article about a product is not necessarily an advertisement for a product. What advertisement would have a "criticism" section? Not to mention that this use of a sock puppet account strikes me as very dubious - who is this a sock puppet of, and why can't he nominate stuff for deletion with his main account? Bryan Derksen 05:01, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Sorry about the sock. I considered my reasons well enough from previous troubles in AfD. I do not wish to fight with my own account when this is done. And I do not need my vote to count, consensus can be reached without me. Anyway, where is a notability established? And was the criticism section added by those, who seek to improve the rest of the article? Vacuum Cleaner 01 07:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment. Since I noticed you two voted for keep, does this mean you think the subject of the article is actually notable? Someguy1221 07:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- I do. If you want, I can explain why. --Urod 13:45, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment on notability. According to Wikipedia:Notability#The general presumption of notability, notability is defined as being significant coveraged in (preferably more than one) secondary sources. For this product, there are at least ~~four~~three different secondary sources: ~~[42]~~, [43], [44], and [45]. The sites ~~codeguru.com~~, pcmech.com, softpedia.com, softkey.info are independent on the JG Software and on each other. --Urod 14:00, 17 May 2007 (UTC), fixed Urod 14:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    - Comment Please note that the codeguru review is about different EditPad. First, you can compare the screen shots. Second, the codeguru EditPad gives a source, our EditPad comes without source. Third, the authors of each EditPad are completely different. Vacuum Cleaner 01 15:07, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
      - Comment That's right, removed codeguru. --Urod 18:23, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    - Comment Also note, that CodeGuru, PC Mechanic and Softkey.info are probably not considered as reliable source. They are not even covered by Wikipedia themselves in any way. ~~Softpedia provides 100% clean certificates only, they do not review the software. Anyone can submit any software on Softpedia.~~ Vacuum Cleaner 01 15:17, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
      - Comment: I read WP:RS carefully and didn't find any notice that a reliable source must be covered by Wikipedia. If it is written somewhere in WP:RS, please tell where. The three sources do not contradict each other, contain no exagerrated statements, and two of them contain also negative information about EditPad. I don't see any reason to consider them unreliable. --Urod 18:22, 17 May 2007 (UTC), reworded Urod 18:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Comment Reliable source does not need to be covered by wikipedia. However, the WP:RS reads, that a reliable source is for example a peer-reviewed journal. In particullar, you might find a good-bad review of every text editor somewhere, but only some text editors are covered by well established peer-reviewed magazines. Are PC Mechanic and Softkey.info established peer-reviewed magazines (or other things named in WP:RS)? Do they suggest notability? I do not need an answer. My comment should only pointed to the fact, that they might not be enough. Vacuum Cleaner 01 18:51, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Comment: and another link, which is as good as the others: [46]. --Urod 18:37, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Comment One thing I have noticed: Your sources gives the EditPad not-so-good overall scores. It is 2/5[47], or 3/10[48]. But this does not count in notability. Vacuum Cleaner 01 18:57, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
        
        Comment 2/5 is indeed a grade given to EditPad, while 3/10 is a grade given by users to the article (see the "rate this article" box below). I think that a source which is not afraid to publish poor grades about itself or the product is more reliable. Unreliable sources would use words like "magnificient" and "incredible", and a lot of 10/10 grades. --Urod 20:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment: The first tertiary search result for EditPad seems to be an article about an EditPad at CodeGuru. However, this is about a different EditPad. There is also a result for online Edit Pad, an online text editor. All other results (including the top five, in my case) are product information page about this editor that we're discussing, by the makers of the software itself. Despite having a non-unique name, it comes out at the top of the Google search, although the first non-endorsed page is about a different product. (This is not a full-fledged notability report.) —msikma (user, talk) 08:11, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment (another): Why is this being nominated by a self-admitted sock puppet, and who does Vacuum Cleaner 01 belong to? —msikma (user, talk) 08:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment (on my sock puppetry) I hope I am not going to be lynched as far as I do not violate any WP:SOCK. Is it not allowed to do so when you have a real reason to believe that you will be hated by some and pursused thereafter for what you are trying to do? And again, I fail to recognize what good would it bring to my own account. Vacuum Cleaner 01 08:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Alright. I was curious for the reason, although I'd rather see one's main account be involved in this. Not that it makes any difference for this AfD. (Maybe this comment thread should be ignored entirely, it's useless.) —msikma (user, talk) 09:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
    - I have made that mistake elsewhere already. It is the Editor war that comes as a reason. Vacuum Cleaner 01 09:36, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment. Vacuum Cleaner's existence as a sock puppet has no bearing on anything. Sockpuppetry is permitted to seperate one's activities. So long as sockpuppets are not used to create artificial consensus, or wiggle around 3RR or blocks, there is nothing wrong with them. And so, Vacuum Cleaner has every right to have a sock just for starting and arguing AFDs, so long as his other accounts steer clear of them. Discussion on this page should be confined to the merits of the article, and what should become of it. Someguy1221 08:59, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. What exactly is the problem here? This a pretty well known product. I'm not sure how exactly we can establish the notability of a piece of software to everyone's satisfaction (is Notepad sufficiently notable? or Word? and if so why? I can't see any WP guidelines for software, are there any?) but Google gives 372,000 hits for "editpad" which must surely count for something. Flapdragon 21:19, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] WDW Today

Article does not assert notability about the podcast. It is full of fancruft and original research. What few references it actually has are to the podcast itself or random sites that have little, if nothing, to do with this topic. The recurring guests don't have their own articles, indicating they are not notable either. Seems like the article is here more for advertisement purposes than anything else. pIrish ^Arr! 21:20, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete per nom. No apparent notability. Google returned quite a few hits, but skimming through some of them I didn't find anything approaching a reliable, independent source. Someguy1221 22:15, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
No Delete This page is fine. If anyone had a question as to what the show was about, this would certainly give them the information they need. There are plenty of entries for podcasts, and this is just one of them. Of the many podcasts ou there in the world, this one seems to be of good taste. Out of a search of disney related podcasts, this turns up quite frequently, enough so to say that it should be noted on Wikipedia. I do think it needs to be re-written or edited, just not deleted. I propose a period of editing and rewriting before a deletion decesion needs to be made........jw 20:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment - the podcast must be notable. Arguing that there are other articles about podcasts on Wikipedia has no bearing on this one. We know that there are articles out there that meet notability requirements that can stay. However, we also know there are articles that should be deleted and they will eventually end up here if they cannot assert notability. If the page were fine, I wouldn't have brought it up for deletion. Whether the podcast is in good taste or that it gets hits on Google is not a criteria for whether it gets to have an article. However, notability, backed up by reliable sources, is a criteria. This article does not meet that and searches have produced no reliable sources either. You are more than welcome to edit the article while it is up for deletion to get the outcome changed. If you think you can assert the podcast's notability, please do make a go at it. --pIrish ^Arr! 20:26, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Retort- In the field of the Disney online community, this is one of the most highly noted/well known podcast.

Notability: 'The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself WDW Today has been featured in many articles and columns on various online Disney related sites. The website or content has won a well-known and independent award from either a publication or organization WDW Today has won many awards in the disney community for outstanding podcast.

Reliability: Reliable sources are credible published materials with a reliable publication process; their authors are generally regarded as trustworthy, or are authoritative in relation to the subject at hand Check out Mouseplanet.com, Allearsnet.com, Mouseextra.com for articles and information about the podcast. These sites are regarded as the go-to palce on the internet for anything disney, and all are run by dedicated knowledgeable people in the Disney fan community. What about Inside the Magic? Just becaue something seems unknown to one person doesn't make that the case. Again, I vote No Delete. This article is about a well known item in a particular field, is not an advertisement, and meets other Wiki Standards. I have also done some minor editing of the page to make blank links work ........jw 23:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

You still have not asserted notability. Your claims hold little weight if you don't cite them. People are not going to take your word that it has won "many awards" without seeing a citation (and the awards themselves must be notable as well). The same goes for the articles/columns; you've given me no indication that they are reliable. I looked through the sites you listed and used the search function on each. None of the links I was coming up with showed notability, they were all just plugs (advertisements) for the podcast. A reliable source would be something like a newspaper/magazine article that talks about the podcast and may even go in depth about it, not something that advertises it or talks about how the webmaster made an appearance on the show.

About your comparison between this podcast and Inside the Magic. I've Googled both. "Inside the Magic" gets significantly more hits, no matter how I search. This at least indicates that it is more popular/notable, even if by a little more than this one. Should the other one be deleted? Perhaps. Perhaps not. But this discussion is not about that one. It is about this one. Again, do not use straw men to support your argument. This nomination is for this article, don't bring up other articles to support this simply based on the fact that they exist because, in all honesty, maybe they shouldn't.

I will, once again, tell you that you are more than welcome to edit and even overhaul the article to improve it and change, not only others' minds, but mine as well. Regarding your most recent edits (I will assume that it was your IP since it was the only one that edited the page after I put the notice up), you did not make unclickable links clickable, you just removed them so they wouldn't show up as red links or you just linked to their personal outside sites that have little, if nothing, to do with this topic. I have little doubt that you want the article to remain (afterall, you did create it), however, you have thus shown no initiative to actually fix the article. I strongly encourage you to do so. Improve the article. Show why it is notable by citing references. --pIrish ^Arr! 03:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Gabe-Shi-Win-Gi-Ji-Kens

Contested prod. Awards preclude a speedy. Non notable Scouting organization. No notability asserted beyond Scouting awards. No sources showing outside coverage. No sources whatsoever beyond it's own leadership. DarkAudit 22:48, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

so you are saying that since i have no creditable sources, i cant be here... what else do i need to get to have this page stay?

For the Order of the Arrow, we have lodges with in it and we just wanted a page in wiki for Gabe just so people could find out more about us if they wished. There really are no published materials or anything that we can cite, mainly because we are non-profit and don't ask for recognition.

Comment Please place your comments at the bottom of the page or at the proper place in the conversation so others can follow along. What I'm saying with this nomination is that the article currently does not meet Wikipedia standards. I refer you to WP:CORP regarding organizations:

"1. Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources. However, chapter information is welcome for inclusion into wikipedia in list articles as long as only verifiable information is included. 2. Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found." The sources you have provided are your own leadership. Most editors will find that unacceptable. Significant news items from reliable and verifiable sources will be what the editors will demand. DarkAudit 23:02, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete does not satisfy WP:ORG. CIreland 23:06, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

The order of the arrow is a national organization, and our lodge is most of the lower peninsula of michigan. I am rather dissipointed that just this one page is causing so much conflict. I'll look for some more sources i guess if that is what you wish me to do.

Comment This is nothing compared to other discussions. Don't be discouraged. The guidelines in WP:ORG and WP:BIO are there to help you. An AfD isn't a straight 'kill it! or 'keep it!' vote, it's a discussion, and will sometimes help an editor steer an article away from the precipice of deletion, and towards something that will stand scrutiny. It's just going to be a little harder in your case due to the local nature of your lodge. DarkAudit 23:22, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment The Order of the Arrow has a Wikipedia entry because it is a significant national organisation. The individual lodges of the Order of the Arrow are not national. CIreland 23:24, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Being "totally awesome" is not the same as being notable. I was once a member of the Order of the Arrow myself, what seems like a hundred years ago. Deor 00:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

- Comment. What exactly do you think should be merged? Order of the Arrow contains nothing about individual lodges (except a mention of the first one). Why should information about this particular lodge be included there? Deor 00:24, 19 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete as non-notable chapter of a national organization. Lack of third-party sources is a problem, and I'm afraid it's probably vanity as well. Wikipedia is not a free web host, and if you want people to know about your "awesome" lodge, you'll have to try elsewhere. FrozenPurpleCube 17:56, 20 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Informedconsent.co.uk

Non-notable. The website has not been the subject of multiple independent non-trivial published works. The references are either blogs or trivial. This is an example of a trivial mentioning of the website, but it's used in the article to prove the website's notability:

Tanos, operator of Informed Consent, a UK-based BDSM information and discussion website, says: 'I think in many cases you can tell. My view is that a 24/7 relationship should be nurturing and encourage the submissive (and the dominant for that matter) to grow.'

What we need is non-trivial articles about the site itself, which we obviously don't have. bogdan 22:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete per WP:WEB. Jkelly 23:08, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep. Multiple sources using this web site as an example of a site of its kind suggest that it is an important example. Yes, they don't say a lot about the site, but there's not really a lot to say. The fact is, however, it is an important site within the subculture it represents, and therefore should be included. JulesH 00:40, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete per WP:WEB Orderinchaos 05:28, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Delete all of the sources are trivial mentions. All but one source is not-notable. The source that is notable (Channel4) is simply a directory entry, which WP:WEB explicitly excludes. Below is the total extent:

"Tanos, operator of Informed Consent, a UK-based BDSM information and discussion website, says: 'I think in many cases you can tellƒ My view is that a 24/7 relationship should be nurturing and encourage the submissive (and the dominant for that matter) to grow.'"[49]
"I don't make as many posts to Informed Consent as I used to, and I occasionally post to other general BDSM websites like Collarme.com and Bondage.com."[50]
"www.informedconsent.co.uk - A site for those interested in consensual Bondage & Discipline, Dominance Submission, S/M and Fetish in the UK. There is no visual or written porn on the site." [51]

- Francis Tyers · 06:04, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Red Pepper (magazine) is a notable left-wing political magazine. OutNorthwest is a popular regional magazine for the LGBT community in its region. Just because you've never heard of a source doesn't make it unimportant. Yes, there isn't much coverage, but I challenge you to find any coverage that is more in-depth than any of these (the OutNorthwest article is the most in-depth, containing (IIRC) an entire paragraph on the subject) in a reliable source on a BDSM-related web site. I contend that this level of coverage is what one would expect of such an entity, therefore this site is a leader in its field, hence notable. I would also point out that the Channel4 content is not merely a directory entry; if it were a directory they would surely have more than two sites on the particular topic. I'd contend that the page is intended to form a guide to recommended resources (i.e. recommending only the best) rather than a directory (i.e. aiming to include everything that's relevant). The reason WP:WEB excludes directories is because of this lack of selectivity. The Channel4 page shows evidence of selectivity in its creation. JulesH 08:02, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - Comment A trivial mention in a notable publication is not a non-trivial mention in a notable publication. If RP or C4 did an article or show on informedconsent.co.uk, then you'd have a case, but a couple of sentences is pretty much nothing. I've got three sentences on myself in The Grauniad, does that mean I'm notable enough to get an article? Hell no. - Francis Tyers · 09:56, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Comment User:Francis Tyers removed information from the article regarding its notability. The only reason I can think of for doing this is to make it more likely for it to be deleted. I'm trying to assume good faith, but this does not look like a good-faith action to me. JulesH 08:12, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment: For what its worth, User:Francis Tyers removed two pieces of information: one was the weasel word "leading" (wholly unnecessary if the article can provide objective evidence from WP:RS as to why this is a "leading" website), and the other was the statement It was originally created by a man who identifies himself as Tanos, although he now contributes little to the site, letting it be run primarily by other users.. Neither of these are relevant, per se, to the judgment of notability, and regardless both statements are in the current version of the article. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:45, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
  - I'd say the word "leading" is very relevant to the sites notability, and it is sourced from two of the items in the references section. I see no justification for removing it here. JulesH 10:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

Delete, no evidence from multiple, nontrivial reliable sources that site meets WP:WEB. As for the keep recommender's assertion they don't say a lot about the site, but there's not really a lot to say... well, then the article does not belong on Wikipedia. WP:NOT a primary or secondary source of information, it is an encyclopedia, which is a tertiary source. I can understand the assertion that the article was created solely as a last-ditch effort to save Wipipedia; that ship has sailed, so without any evidence as to notability, this one should join as well. --Kinu ^t/_c 04:41, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] North-South divide

Not a single source, I am not certain as to what is the point of this article. Looks entirely to be original research to me. -- Cat ^chi? 23:41, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

Comment While the current page is unsourced, the term may be in some use: [52] has it used by a secretary general for the United Nations. I'm looking for more sources, but I'm running into a lot that are talking about the N/S divide in England (which has its own article). Perhaps somebody else will have more luck? FrozenPurpleCube 23:51, 16 May 2007 (UTC)

If the issue is human development, we have an article or two on that. (See articles that use Image:HDImap2006.png). Image:HDImap spectrum2006.png would be a better map. The terms "North" and "South" doesn't mean much to me. For instance North Korea is underdeveloped compared to South Korea. Calling South a part of North and North a part of South blows my mind. -- Cat ^chi? 00:29, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Well, blown though you mind may be, if this concept is indeed embraced by reputable sources and the subject of academic review, it's still a valid concept to cover. There are critics of the Third World designations, and the Eastern Bloc could include Cuba, which is clearly in the Western Hemisphere. But like I said, I haven't been able to find anything beyond the one comment, so the issue of sources remains. FrozenPurpleCube 02:15, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

I have read about it in a university course as the "North-South Gap". The term may sound absurd, but it has been used. If someone feels really strongly about keeping this, I'll try to look up the textbooks. As FrozenPurpleCube said it's not easy to differentiate sources, but here are some mentions: [53] [54] [55] [56] –Pomte 03:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Keep Actually is verifiable and a term in common use in development economics (I've seen it in UN documents and heard it in BBC interviews personally). Orderinchaos 05:27, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep if referenced, the term in itself is not original research. Inaccurate as it may be, it is nonetheless very commonly used. Punkmorten 06:38, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
Keep, this is a notable analysis of global economics, whether or not it meets some imposed sense of "accuracy". It was deliberately intended to change the understanding from the East-West divide of the Cold War. I wouldn't say it has disappeared but it is certainly far less prominent now than in the 1985-1995 era. But historical notability is still notability. --Dhartung | Talk 09:06, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
- Comment A bit of searching indicates that the 1980 Brandt Commmission report (that's Willy Brandt, a major German/European leader over several decades) did much to popularize the terminology. A follow-up seems to be less keen on the geography but happy to pay forward what was learned in the interim. --Dhartung | Talk 09:13, 17 May 2007 (UTC)
  - When I say "north" is there a commonly accepted group of countries like how East/West was well defined? Why isn't human development related articles insufficient? -- Cat ^chi? 10:46, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

Because this is a particular description of human development that merits coverage in its own article, and yes, it does seem to be reasonably defined. It may not be strictly accurate, but that's a problem for the description, not a reason to delete the article. FrozenPurpleCube 20:31, 17 May 2007 (UTC)

- - - Agree with Manticore. It isn't for us to determine whether the analysis was accurate. I didn't turn up any last night, but I know that in the 1980s the idea was much debated and I'm sure that there is sourceable criticism of the concept that we could add. It's trivial to observe that by the 1980s, the developed world was largely north of a line somewhat north of the equator, and the "third world" below that same line. The point isn't a defined list of countries, it's the balance of wealth and capital. Jared Diamond provides a number of plausible hypotheses as to why this occurred in Guns, Germs and Steel. Before Diamond, though, it was basically laid at the feet of imperialism. In any case, the division is less striking today, as Latin America has caught up substantially, the Asian "tigers" spread wealth more broadly, and even India and China have made undeniably enormous strides. Today, Africa remains the greatest area of concern, so a north and south geographic division is of primarily historical interest.--Dhartung | Talk 08:34, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
