[edit] Dr Steel AfD deletion
Apologies for deletion of the blurb... It was my attempt at compliance.

[edit] Urban Search and Rescue South Carolina Task Force 1
The article appears to have survivied the AfD, at least for now. I was just curious if we would have persuaded you with the information we provided after you switched your vote to neutral? Specifically I'm referring to the link to CBS's The Early Show interview with Tracy Smith. What happens now? Is the article "safe" or could this come up again at any time? I'd like to think we would have achieved consensus given one or two more days. Thanks for your help. I have to admit the process improved the article. Best, MoodyGroove 15:37, 12 February 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove
- Here are the links to the media sources. If you have a dial-up connection, you may not be able to see the video:
- URL for the Video clip from CBS's The Early Show with Janet Smith (this is the one you didn't know about).
- SC-TF1 in the ETV and PBS special documentary "Care from the heart" Sept. 9, 2005 (Updated November 14, 2005). Video clips: Dial-up. Broadband. Fast-forward to 10:45. Also 22.55. MoodyGroove 15:09, 13 February 2007 (UTC)MoodyGroove

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Quizap
I have asked User:Quarl to reopen the AFD. What I deleted was not the subject of the AFD, but a blanked redirect page. The reason for the AFD closure is, thus, based on a misunderstanding of the situation on his part. We'll see how he responds. - TexasAndroid 17:40, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] List of YWAM bases

[edit] Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important homeopaths
You previously commented at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of important homeopaths, writing:
*I'm going with Delete here. What constitutes "important" is subjective in this case - it's kind of a fine line. Granted, I could be wrong, but at best we're looking at a merge and redirect to Homeopathy. --Dennisthe2 21:08, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Re : Trinity Christian HS AFD
You must be referring to the WP:ILIKEIT arguments. IMO the article is now well-attributed and its notability asserted by multiple sources, which essentially addresses the concerns of the nomination. - Best regards, Mailer Diablo 18:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Hi, seeing you have been involved in previous Afd debates on the subject I invite you to contribute to this discussion to clarify certain issues about football player notability.

[edit] The Filthy Truth
Thanks for the backup. Communicating with Fnagaton feels like talking at (not with) a brick wall. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ speak ○ see ○ 17:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Unfortunately, I think it's probably going to pan out to be Fnagaton thumping his chest with repeated cries of "I am a source!" along with a period of shock and surprise when the article gets deleted. Mr.Starslayer at least seems reasonable, if not conversant in basic Wikipedia policy. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 17:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- On the bright side, at least this allows us to try to pry something out of them without opening a whole new kettle of problems with notability requirements. According to the current home of The Filthy Truth, the entire thing's got 110 members. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:11, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Of course numbers don't say much, but the production staff of individual games these days can be a bigger group. I'm thinking that The Filthy Truth may be a touch less notable than MrStarslayer and Fnagaton are saying. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- Me, on the other hand... Would it be unfair to use the term witchhunt to describe his reaction to most of my arguments? Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- *whistles* Now THAT is a messy, messy AFD. Then again, any time something like that is up for deletion it seems to bring the combative types out of the woodwork. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:53, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
- As a side note, I'm sure I'm going to burn somewhere for finding the procedings amusing. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Septimalisation article - references added
I added major non-Christian references to Septimalisation article, please review your deletion decision here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Septimalisation Wikinger 08:50, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
Hi Dennis, I got you message from the delete page, and I get your point. But, I'd like to discuss a bit. The rules of Wiki and of polite conversation are good rules, they let people with different opinions comunicate. I tend to be a bit bombastic, and I know I would tone it down sometimes. But, on the other hand these same rules can be exploited. They can be misinterpreted to mean that any opinion has equal weight.
I know that math, science, units of measure, relativity, can sound like foreign languages to people that don't have a background studying them and using them. This article on Septimalisation might sound as reasonable as, say, a perfectly respectable article on quantum mechanics. But I'm here to tell you, its not. These "equations" and "converstion factors" are completly meaningless. Its not just that they are wrong, they don't any meaning at all. I could talk about "the color of five" or "the mass of a joke", but these phrases, while sentences, have no meaning.
Why is this so important? Why I'm I spending so much time on this? Because these things can take on a life of there own. See postmodernism and the Sokal Hoax. People seem perfectly willing to debate fine points of "subjects" that have no meaning. Meanwhile, important subject can be neglected. Reasonable, yes, polite, yes, but lets not be suckers.

[edit] Commentary on Afds
Can you please try and limit your comments on Afds. While closing this recent afd I noticed your numerous comments. Needless discussion makes it difficult for closing admins to read through the afd.

[edit] Brian Crecente
How was a non-user able to AfD? I thought that only users could create the new page necessary ... ?
Also, please do a quick Google on "Brian Crecente" and you'll see that there are approx 127,000 hits. Additionally he is the editor of a Top-40 blog (per Technorati). If you could check a couple of the first links in Google I think you'll see that there is notability per the General notability guidelines.
If you agree I would ask that you consider changing your recommendation. Drew30319 22:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
The link may be helpful, right? [Brian Crecente] Drew30319 22:58, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
With respect to the creation of the AfD, Wiki states: "Note that if you are editing under an IP address because you have not yet created a user account, you will not be able to complete the AfD process, as anonymous contributors are currently unable to create new pages (as required by step 2 of "How to list pages for deletion," below)."
There were many changes made to the article so it may be that the user found a way to go around this restriction through some type of machinations. Who knows ... Drew30319 18:25, 3 June 2007 (UTC)
- What happened is the anon put his rationale for deletion on the article along with the notice. User:Uncle G then removed his rationale, and completed the process for him. I had previously made the offer of completing any potential AfD to the user, on my own talk page. I guess he just decided to put it all on the talk page, and Uncle G got there before I did. --Dreaded Walrus t c 06:03, 4 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Harry's Legend
Since I hate faulty reasoning on AFD, I decided to reproduce my response:
This is the paragraph in question: " Hacker Software - What fun would homemade hardware be without homemade software to go along with it? Aside from the wide amount of Asian bootleg NES software available, the most impressive hack we've found is a completely original unlicensed Chinese Harry Potter game in which the young Where's Waldo-looking wizard journeys through the Dursley homestead kicking the crap out of rats, bats, fats (Dudley and Vernon), and, uh, Voldemort. And that's just before Harry learns he's a wizard. " - This section prominently features the game. How many subscribers of IGN saw this? Do you want me to find out which magazine this appears in? Then what? You are going to have to prove that it is not notable.
I am also going to tell you what I told Phamboy:
"Questionable sources are those with a poor reputation for fact-checking or with no editorial oversight. Questionable sources should only be used in articles about themselves. (See below.) Articles about such sources should not repeat any contentious claims the source has made about third parties, unless those claims have also been published by reliable sources." - I would think that EGM has fact-checking, huh? All I need is one reliable source, right? If so, then this is flawed, and the nominator's argument is flawed.
WhisperToMe 02:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Then the core issue is that I said that one verifiable source is all the article needs to prove its notability, while you want two or more. I'll see if I can get a published #2 article. WhisperToMe 06:37, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
Hey, this page is suggesting to me that Harry's Legend is a hack of an existing game called "The Waterboy" http://www.datacrystal.org/wiki/The_Waterboy - If I see the ROM and find this is true, I will write an article about the legit game. Regardless of the result of the AFD, I *could* merge Harry's Legend into "The Waterboy" WhisperToMe 15:09, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
- EDIT: WHups - that itself is a ROM hack! AT first I thought this was the original. Hmm, this is confusing... WhisperToMe 15:10, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Seeking advice
Hi Dennis, I really need some advice. After slogging through the AfD nomination for List of churches in Omaha, I decided to find other lists that were suitably aligned with the reasoning behind that AfD. In my (over)zealous scan I found this, this, this, this, this, this and this. After five days of brutal dialog that drew no other than yourself, I have withdrawn the AfD nominations. Why did this go down so poorly? I would appreciate any suggestions you might have for drawing other editors into the conversations, framing the AfD best, and handling the opposing editors in a constructive, forward-thinking manner. • Freechild'sup? 19:57, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Lutheran congregations inherently non-notable?
In Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Faith Lutheran Church, you said "Furthermore, I'm not entirely convinced that a single congregation of Lutherans can meet WP:N." Last year there was a lengthy discussion of what a religious congregation had to show to be notable, in a rejected notability guideline WP:CONG. Do you feel that no religious congregations can met WP:N, or is it just the Lutherans that fall short in your estimation? Edison (talk) 18:54, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
- Agreed that the vast majority of congregations go about their business in an adequate but typically non-notable way, like, say most restaurants or most motels, but a few of any of these have substantial coverage in enough reliable sources that they satisfy WP:N. I only found one such ref for this one, so it got appropriately deleted. Edison (talk) 00:58, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Audicom (PC audio cards)
Hola:
In the last days I have a very productive dialog with the user JRod2, who initially proposed the deletion of this article. Originally I have the idea of having two different articles to avoid a single boring one. But now I think that a single, well redacted article and with clean design will best fit the quality of wikipedia. He agreed with this idea. The article will basically cover the Audicom cards, the ECAM technology, and the Audicom software.
If you have any suggestion, please let me know.

[edit] Deletion of Crud (game)
While I believe your sincerity, perhaps a better method would have been to pose such a question on the talk page first. This game has been played since World War II and is not something merely made up one day (yes, I understand the link you provided). I can point to several examples: Keesler Air Force Base has a regulation Crud room in its Officer's club. In that venue I personally flattened a Major General...who promptly flattened me back a few rounds later. At Sheppard AFB, they recently installed a brand new crud table. At my current assignment, there is a crud table also set up in the officer's mess. Growing up in Alaska, the squadron had a crud tournament with their spouses and I (as a 10-year-old) was permitted to watch the craziness. It isn't what you are implying it is. Please read the external links for more information. — BQZip01 — talk 20:34, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
