The result was delete without prejudice against recreation. It is a longstanding tradition that all hamlets are notable. Notability is not in question here though, verifiability is. We can't seem to find any proof, in census or otherwise, that this hamlet does exist. We have no other choice but to delete, and hoping sources turn up which show that the place does exist.

Aldarno

This article seems to be unverifiable -- I did a search on Google for the name of this place along with the name of the island that it is on, and nothing except Wikipedia came up. Maybe it is noted in books but I cannot find that. Ink mathematics (talk) 23:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as currently unverifiable. I've tried Google earth map, calling a travel agent friend familiar with Funchal, and a few other spelling variations.

Degree Programs at Bowling Green State University

Wikipedia is not a course catalog. ElKevbo (talk) 23:47, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In my opinion the article does not resemble a course catalog, but instead an article that highlights the many programs offered by the university. There are five other pages (1 2 3 4 5) that highlight courses and degrees offered which resembles that used by this article. My goal for creating this article was to heighten the understanding of academics offered at the main campus of Bowling Green State University and because of this I think the article should be kept.

Keep - much more than a course catalogue since it contains a great deal of prosed information. There are still unsourced parts but that needs to be fixed as an editorial matter as does some necessary cleaning up. TerriersFan (talk) 01:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Pending the outcome of this discussion, the five others mentioned above may also need to be considered for deletion. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:33, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Agreed. Those articles appear to be even "worse" than this one, IMHO. --ElKevbo (talk) 15:40, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - I actually wouldn't argue about the deletion of the other five which are simply directories. In view of the above comments, I have cleaned out the list of courses, which is the directory content. What we are left with is some encyclopaedic information worth keeping. TerriersFan (talk) 15:59, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's definitely an improvement but I still don't think the material warrants an encyclopedia article. If still reads much like a listing of dry facts that could easily be put into a series of tables (and thus would be very similar to what was just removed from the article). I would be swayed if the article were changed from a dry description of the programs to describing interesting information about them such as histories, significant and interesting accomplishments, and similarly compelling materials. Right now it's still academic directory/course catalog material, IMHO. --ElKevbo (talk) 16:11, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ed Kalnins

I'm worried this is a BLP issue. There is so much controversy surrounding Palin and those close to her, and this article is almost entirely unsourced. I'm tempted to just speedy the entire thing under G10, but because of the controversy I thought I'd better bring it here. Basically, it's unsourced and I don't honestly think it can be anything other than a WP:COAT. L'Aquatique[approves|this|message] 23:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete one rather partisan source does not evidence any notability.--Troikoalogo (talk) 23:34, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I don't see any assertion or evidence of notability that is not linked to another person, and as I understand it, it's a basic principle that people don't gain notability from their personal or familial relationships; as remarked above, this also might be a coatrack for attempts to discredit the politician in question. Accounting4Taste:talk 23:51, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Excellent deletion rationale totally on the mark. I wouldn't oppose a CSD A7. The author also wrote an attack article same subject different title. No assertion of notability and from a google search complicated by different Ed Kalnins notablity couldn't be proven. Simply being a famous person's pastor doesn't make one notable either as Accounting4Taste pointed out. — Ѕandahl ♥ 00:06, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, in fact that article was deleted and recreated twice before I deleted it and salted the final time. The fact that the OP posted it after being warned multiple times makes it difficult to agf. L'Aquatique[approves|this|message] 00:29, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Do not delete if there's an article about Jeremiah Wright controversy, concerning the polemical declarations of Obama longtime pastor, Jeremiah Wright, then there should be an article about Ed Kalnins controversy, concerning the polemical declarations of Sarah Palin longtime pastor, Ed Kalnins. -Hgfernan (talk) 14:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please understand that saying that an article should be kept or deleted simply because others of a similar nature have or haven't been in the past is according to our guidelines an argument to avoid in deletion discussions. Do you have a reason based in policy/guidelines to keep the article? Perhaps some proof of notability or verifiability that we have not yet found? Jasynnash2 (talk) 15:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Jasynnash2, thanks for the information. But i think i'm not partial when i state that certainly the two items can be easily proved by simply googling the names of the main involved in the controversy. While most references are for blogs or periodicals committed to contrary political visions, it is possible to find many respectable, non-committed periodicals, like Huffington Post, that published the same stories. Certainly the big newspapers are not into the stories, but that's a known pattern for news: they come from the country to the capital. All the best, --Hgfernan (talk) 19:54, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I recollect the AFD for Otis Moss III. There, I was able to demonstrate notability by completely rewriting the article, largely from sources predating the current presidential campaign and putting the campaign stuff in reasonable weight. Here, I can not find any sources that are about Kalnins and predate the campaign. Thus I don't think a biography of is possible. GRBerry 14:36, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: I personally don't like the way the media try to find controversy, but we at WP can't ignore it just because it's awkward, or we would also have Jeremiah Wright at AfD. There is a danger in saying, "This is controversial and WP:COAT so we can't write anything about it" and then saying "Because we can't write about this, it is a stub with no references" and therefore it should be deleted. Based on that, we'd never get articles written about Monica Lewinsky. Let's remember, people aren't Googling Ed Kalnins because they want to write a high school essay about his childhood. I added a fairly neutral sentence to the Kalnins article, with a citation (from the Huffington Post) indicating that Ed Kalnins has come into the spotlight recently. I think that if Ed Kalnins importance fades away, and Palin isn't elected to VP, then maybe I'd support deletion. But for now, we need to have this article in place, in case the news story really takes off. Walkerma (talk) 16:48, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP and IMPROVE I am working on the improvement. Within the last hour, ABC News is reporting that the church had removed Kalin's sermons from its web site. This is notable, as per Walkerma. Note also that the article on Palin's other pastor, Larry Kroon was deleted in a Speefdy Delete despite a hangon This is a violation of Wikipedia policy. See:Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2008 September 3Elan26 (talk) 17:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Elan26[reply]

Actually, no it is not. An administrator can still decide to speedily delete a page if the hang on rationale is not satisfactory: adding a hang on template is not a guarantee that your page will not be deleted unless you can prove using that hang-on that the article doesn't meet deletion criteria or that you will improve it very quickly. L'Aquatique[approves|this|message] 17:53, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, but in this case the article was sourced to a long list of major newspapers and magazines, and had articles that focused on Kroon before Palin ran for Governor.Elan26 (talk) 18:08, 3 September 2008 (UTC)Elan26[reply]

Delete. Association with a notable figure does not in itself confer notability. Notability should be long-term, not today's news. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ros0709 (talk • contribs)
Delete notability is not inherited by association, and so far as I can tell this guy has had his 5 minutes of media attention for a single event. Mayalld (talk) 19:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator's rationale. Could easily be a G10 (negatively sourced BLP) - all the sources, as far as I can tell, are blogs and unreliable. Keeper ǀ 76 20:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per G10. The sources all seem to be unreliable. Kelly ^hi! 21:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The Huffington Post is (according to Wikipedia) the most linked-to blog (Technorati), the most most visited news weblog (Alexa) and the "most influential blog in the world" (Guardian) - this is a liberal blog, but it is not a source to be dismissed lightly. Just appearing as a main subject on that blog makes someone notable. Walkerma (talk) 22:02, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It's a big blog, but its still a blog. As soon as they develop a journalist, NPOV stance, they'll be accepted as a source for Wikipedian purposes. They are a blog, with a declared bias, with very little oversight and virtually no fact-checking, therefore unreliable. Keeper ǀ 76 22:17, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete No indication of notability, sourcing consists of one heavily POV blog. Edward321 (talk) 23:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Strong KEEP The article is now sourced by the

CHICAGO TRIBUNE and the

New Jersey TIMES OF TRENTON.EricDiesel (talk) 00:15, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP There is more discussion of the Palin pages on the Wikipedia:Notability policy page.

Notability is not transferable, but being an acknowledged teacher from which notable ideas come transfers notability. Palin’s quotes on the religeous basis of the Iraq War being identical in theological reasoning to that taught at her church or school and of those of her teacher or pastor makes her teacher notable as the progenitor or that reaoning.

The result was Speedied as obvious POV and original research, created by an SPA to create a negative impression concerning a particular political candidate. The linkage of an obscure "Alaska independence" movement to support for secession during the American Civil War constitutes advocacy inappropriate for Wikipedia. Relevant information concerning Ms. Palin's alleged support for Alaska secession, reliably sourced, may be included in the article concerning her or other appropriate articles, subject to the avoidance of undue weight on this or any other matter.

List of candidates for Vice President Who Have Favored The Dissolution Of The United States

Nominated for speedy deletion by another editor as an attack page and suspiciously declined w/o explanation by an anon IP. I have to agree with the nomination: "List of Candidates for Vice President" is so tenuous it is obviously designed to include Sarah Palin, conveniently on the list. Speedy Delete as an attack page, per the original nomination. Ros0709 (talk) 22:14, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Save. Well-sourced (now) and timely. It is factual information, if probably politically unfortunate. If Wikipedia were trying to avoid politically-damaging information why is McCain's correct age still listed? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.216.82.0 (talk) 00:03, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Save. Article is clearly of interest to readers and contains factual information -- POV violations do not cover facts. There is nothing "convenient" about the inclusion of Sarah Palin, save the fact that she ought to be on the list. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Nexttolibertymostdear (talk • contribs) 23:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unsourced and therefore OR. — RHaworth (Talk | contribs) 22:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Save. The sources are coming. Unfortunately, in trying to write an article designed to answer a question wikipedia didn't currently answer about what Vice Presidental nominees had favored the secession of one or several states, people are imagining non-existent political motives in an attempt to assemble a list of Vice Presidential nominees who have favored the dissolution of the Union. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lucabrasi12 (talk • contribs) 22:22, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Save. Rividian, the Confederate States had "votes" on the issue. The traditional view is that United States of America cannot be dissolved and that no state can ever secede.

Swim ~ artists

Largely reliant on a single source, currently a link defunct since July 2008 and therefore fails WP:N and WP:RS. None pass WP:BAND and thus having a list of them is debatable. At best, source and merge to Swim ~. Also borderline WP:BLP problems Rodhull andemu 21:58, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You've Got to Walk It Like You Talk It or You'll Lose That Beat

I could only find one reliable source for this which was a movie quotes page. Schuym1 (talk) 21:21, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. Sources are available e.g. here is a review from the NY Times. Basement12 (T.C) 00:19, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is a plot summary. The plot summary is not even from NYT. Schuym1 (talk) 00:20, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's actually a "Review summary", however there is an option to go to "Full New York Times Review »", which, although not free to view content, is a RS. There is also a page dealing with credits for the movie. I'm sure additional sources could also be found. Basement12 (T.C) 00:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

NYT movie pages exist for every movie. The full NYT review might show notability though. Schuym1 (talk) 00:29, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Also, It may say review summary, but it is still a plot summary and it comes from All Movie Guide. Schuym1 (talk) 00:37, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I can read that review fine, must be a firewall difference. It is by A. H. Weiler, dated September 20, 1971, and is a full length review. I'd be willing to believe that an offline search of other major newpapers of that time would add further sources.

Sam Phripp

Self created biography, fails WP:Note Blowdart | ^talk 19:56, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think it's self created at all. Sam Phripp is a potential representative of the UK at the Eurovision song contest. He surely deserves a wiki page as he will soon be more well known than he is now. He is currently working with channel 4. One of the biggest channels in the UK. It shouldn't be deleted. Terrazio (talk) 20:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't agree with this deletion at all. Sam Phripp has been an internet sensation since the Yeardot project began on June 30th. His star is only set to rise.

comment - It doesn't mean it is notable in terms of WP:NN.

additional comment - You need to understand that just because something makes the news does not mean it should be included in an encyclopedia. A pig falling into a well probably would make the news. That does not mean that the pig should get a page on Wikipedia, does it? Wait until he does something that is really note-worthy. fr33kman (talk) 00:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as not notable. On top of the source already provided, and ignoring the usual bebo, youtube, myspace links, the only sources I've found are the following: ([1], [2], [3]). That is, an interview with, and press release published on, Oiko Times, and a message on a blog, which seems to incorporate much of the press release. I suspect Oiko Times isn't reliable, although it does have some editorial staff, and in any case, a claim to notability should be based on articles from more than one source. The other claim to notability, being on Year Dot, isn't enough to justify an article, although some mention should (and is) made on the Yeardot article.

Delete. Article does not indicate any real-world significance of this fictional game element. It also appears to be original research based on primary source material. ~ Ningauble (talk) 15:41, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serious question, how is it WP:OR if it's based on primary sources? Hobit (talk) 02:24, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Good question. The two are not necessarily incompatible. Generally, things inferred or interpreted from examination of primary sources are original research, in contrast to things reported from those sources. In the absence of source citation, it is hard to say whether something is "just made up," or original research, or factual reportage. I am probably guilty of undue skepticism in this case, but the lack of references (and, to a lesser extent, the abandonment of real-world perspective after the first sentence) invites skepticism. ~ Ningauble (talk) 13:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bald Eagles Fly High

PROD and PROD2 removed by the author. Album with no confirmed title or release date fails WP:MUSIC and WP:CRYSTAL. Article contains no content apart from a near-empty infobox and what little is in there is unreferenced. Probably a speedy deletion candidate (db-a1). Ros0709 (talk) 19:32, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Plus, see also the first nomination, which I was not previously aware of. Speedy delete (db-g4) also applies. Ros0709 (talk) 19:36, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

G4 does not apply, because the prior AfD was closed as Speedy, vs. a full deletion discussion. Still, I think it clear that this needs to be Deleted until it meets WP:MUSIC. Jclemens (talk) 19:39, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no improvement since the last deletion. And since the outcome of that AFD was "speedy delete," I see no reason to not speedy delete again. I find no significant coverage by reliable, verifiable sources that suggest notability. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball- we cannot predict notability for an unreleased album. There is not even speculation about its content, let alone reliable sourcing for it. We don't even have a date certain for it's release. Amazingly, this was recreated with the AFD notice in place-- for a different article. Come to think of it, there is no assertion of notability here.

AfDs for this article:

A couple of years back there were unfounded internet rumours that this was one of the Jamie Bulger murderers. But he isn't. He's just another murderer. Not a mass murderer, just a murderer on a life sentence. If the crime is notable then we should have an article on that, not the individual, per WP:BLP1E (or I suppose in this case WP:BLP1E1UIR if we add the one unfounded internet rumour). Guy (Help!) 19:16, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Much more than WP:ONEEVENT. Aside from the actual murder there is the unusual decision to conduct a bench trial, the alleged 2003 assault that was not tested in court, the unfounded Bulger assertion. An article on Murder of Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia-Shu just becomes distressing for her family. WWGB (talk) 01:35, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - I claim some authorship of this article and the article of the victim (Sofia Rodriguez-Urrutia-Shu), which has now been deleted. BLP is not a reason to delete an article on this guy. The article does not violate the rights of living people, and does not violate any rights of Sofia (if she has any). If it does, then editing this article is the solution, not deletion. This guy is not just a one-off murderer. In addition to what WWGB has said, his former house was burned to the ground following media hysteria. - Richard Cavell (talk) 02:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notorious criminals are notable. Other factors that influence notability (or notoriety in this case): British police investigation in 2001, a previous incident in 2003 where the Perth police bungled the investigation, and the fact he caused public hysteria across Australia as people thought he might be a Bulger killer. Yes, he's an odious creature, but he passes the Wikipedia test.--Lester 02:38, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment These articles are always difficult to resolve by applying policy down the line. Certainly the subject meets the primary notability criterion in spades, but he is a living person and I have stood fairly strongly in the past about having articles for every rapist, murderer, armed robber etc bearing in mind BLP; criminals have rights too. It seems to come down to a "gut" decision, a mere opinion only, on the "notoriety" of the case. A High School teacher sleeping with his/her students; to be condemned but not notorious. Murdering a young child and the attendant blaze of publicity, well&nbsp,... it seems notorious enough for me, but I can't support it in policy. My opinion only. -- Mattinbgn\^talk 02:55, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"keep" articles should be reformed, not deleted. This article is being repeatedly cited for deletion - it is obviously an abuse of process. Adding a delete tag is easier and more satisfying than suggesting improvements! Personally, I don't 'like' the article and I think it needs a lot of work. However, the general principle is clear, and with three deletion attempts already made, this article raises general 'procedural' issues which make it worth commenting. 90.62.150.248 (talk) 11:47, 6 September 2008 (UTC) (Martin Cohen)[reply]

Simulations and games in economics education

Article is entirely a how-to on the subject of teaching and learning etc.: it completely fails what Wikipedia is not. Nyttend (talk) 18:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If there are any relevant encyclopedic facts, merge them with Simulation Games. Delete the how-to. MatthewJ (talk) 19:10, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh LAWD. Um. Gee. Ok. Using games in economics classrooms (especially undergraduate courses on auction design and game theory) is an important part of explaining game theory and transmitting knowledge. Often the paradoxical conclusions of game theory (where users are assumed to be rational and acting on perfect information) can best be conveyed by actually playing a game. The Ultimatum game is best explained by playing it in the classroom. Same with Guess 2/3 of the average. "Games", as this article defines it, move past that and get into "ludic territory". Meaning that they mean games as in computer games rather than games played to illustrate "game theory". This, also, has some relevance to the discipline and education in general. The ideal article would summarize the views in the literature regarding both "cooperative and non-cooperative strategy experiments in the classroom" (the first kind of game I pointed out) and "computer simulations designed to generate contingent outcomes on the basis of user input" (the second kind of "game"). In order for this article to be that article, we would need to rename it, remove the self-refs, how-to content, and move the external links. that would leave us with a stub that perhaps can be built up properly. I'll take a look at this, but I may not have the heart to rescue it completely. Keep for now, as it has the potential to be improved. Protonk (talk) 03:28, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- All that's been constructed to this point is totally unencyclopedic: why should we expect any further construction, at least on the part of the placer of the construction template, to be productive? Nyttend (talk) 05:06, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The template itself states to allow a few days. Likely we're dealing with a newby that didn't realize they couldn't park an in-process article as such. We could AGF that they are working on it. The AfD process, IMHO, should not be the first step here; a prod, clean-up templates and dialog to sort out what's up would have likely been seen as less bitey to a newcomer. I suppose it's too late for a speedy close unless you'd be willing to withdraw AfD and try engaging them to see if they intend to fix this up. If they fail to communicate then prod to see if someone else will step up. A merge would also be workable since the parent is so stubbly. Banjeboi 05:27, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Simulations and games in economics education As simulations (the computer whizz-bangery) should be topically distinct from games. I know that some of the literature speaks explicitly of "simulation games" (as in contrived situations with contingent outcomes based on user inputs that happen to be highly realistic or conform to a model of behavior) but for the purposes of a general encyclopedia, we should split the two.

Keep- while the site itself may scrape by on notability, the concept is very much key to the Web 2.0 movement, and the article seems to be well researched with good sourcing and a neutral tone. L'Aquatique[approves|this|message] 22:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I should mention that this was originally a CSD spam candidate, I declined it then and invited the author to add notability information, which (s)he did. L'Aquatique[approves|this|message] 22:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Thank you for the chance to discuss this. While I believe strongly in Wikipedia's mission and support the concept of reducing overtly promotional material, I don't believe that is the case here. As a new user to Wiki, I've put a very substantial amount of work into this (particularly the idea of meeting the "notability" and other criteria) because this seems like a topic that is very much cutting edge. Based on the research quoted in this article (from the LA Times, Daily Variety, Hollywood Reporter, New York Times, etc.), the days of the print movie critic are fast coming to an end and this Movie Smackdown site seems to be quite representative of the counter-trend. I've been making (and will continue to make) efforts to clarify how this topic is newsworthy and emblematic of an entire trend in film reviews. I'd ask those who will make this decision to look at other Wiki articles for web reviews like "Rotten Tomatoes" and "Metacritic" by way of comparison. It seems that the Movie Smackdown page is at least equal and in many case better in a number of key ways. It is also unique: there are content aggregators like the former, and there are film collectives like Movie Smackdown, but in almost all cases they use the old formula of a critic (even if not a well-known print critic) talking about a single film. This is, to the best of my knowledge, the only film review site or concept where a collective of critics actually approach film criticism in a specific new way where they all adhere to a specific unique format and submit to editing. In any case, this article is meant to be thoughtful and neutral about the concept of the democratization of film reviews in the Internet age. Of course, it can be improved (and will be) as other voices join in the editing process. If this concept doesn't meet the standards, I'm sort of confused as I've seen dozens and dozens of Wiki articles that seem less-researched and clearly self-serving but, again, I'm new to Wiki and may not be understanding the entire picture. Anyway, thanks again for listening, and considering this point-of-view. Ablebaker2 (talk) 23:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Movies -- like popular culture -- make sense of a confusing world for me. In this regard Movie Smackdown! is especially effective, because it operates on a level that is easily accessible to all: The simple comparison. This format offers a helpful frame of reference for judging a new film by showing how it stacks up with a similar, earlier release known to most readers. This focus develops a better understanding of the film maker's intent. The Smackdown! structure transforms the movies into cinematic gladiators. Only one emerges the winner and this approach puts readers on a fun ride. It also provides insights into the critics' artistic vision. I'm a longtime visitor to this site and noticed how it has evolved into a unique and valuable resource for film audiences. By personal experience I've learned it's not necessary to see the films to enjoy Movie Smackdown! I'm not alone: The creator displays a site meter tracking unbroken growth in monthly visits. Pusster1 02:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pusster1 (talk • contribs)

Just saw this brouhaha, read the page, looked at the site. If something this well-researched and annotated doesn't qualify for a page, then you should be taking down all kinds of other ones. I actually enjoyed reading the articles it referred to, it hadn't fully occurred to me that film reviews were dying on the newspapers and migrating to the Web. Well, you're the experts, but I say KEEP IT. Chickflix (talk) 02:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Is this site unique enough to warrant comment? Does it represent something worthy of comment? I'd have to say that, especially for film buffs and anybody on the Internet, you'd have to say "yes." So I'm thinking, yeah, it's a keeper. Plus, I agree with above. It's got some good info in it, arranged well and with all the footnote stuff. Loengard (talk) 03:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - This article should not even be considered for deletion in my opinion. It clearly meets the "notability" criteria (the notability challenge was even met by the author). I checked the site out and it does generate a significant amount of repeat traffic. The reviews are well written, concise, and relevant. Just because they aren't written by celebrated critics (at least not yet) shouldn't render them not-noteworthy. Something that is considered note-worthy has to start somewhere and I truly believe that this website has met that mininum threshold. It can only grow from here and deserves an entry for the continuation of that journey. Also, as the referenced articles state, movie goers are shifting over to reading reviews on the web and Movie Smackdown is obviously a stopping point for many of these readers. The site meter shows this as the number of page views are dramatically on the rise. Lastly, this website offers reviews just as good as (if not better than) websites such as Rotten Tomatoes and does so in a unique and refreshing way. This, to me, is Movie Smackdown's main draw and I believe is sufficient in itself to warrant a Wiki mention.Walkingbillboard (talk) 08:14, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete A large section of this article is an WP:OR essay on the nature and change of modern film criticism. While interesting it has no place in this article, which should be a well-sourced piece on the website in question. The only independent reference that makes specific mention of Movie Smackdown is as AMC site of the week which appeared on their blog.

Keep -- Change is inevitable. When thinking about the current status of the motion picture industry, two changes that are occurring involve "who" is making the film and "who" is reviewing it.

Years ago Francis Ford Coppola was asked about the impact of high-quality, affordable digital cameras and what effect they would have on Hollywood. He responded by saying that some day, in the not too distant future, "Some little fat girl from Ohio" will win an Oscar. (This is probably not his exact words -- but it is awful close and it reflects accurately the point he was trying to make). Yes, films are now being made by a lot more people than just the established industry "names" and many are both excellent and commercially viable.

Likewise, film commentary, criticism and the old fashioned "movie review" are now available on websites and over the internet in great numbers. A few of these are truly unique, with Movie Smackdown being one of the most notable. Traditional newspaper and magazine reviews are still available, but, for the vast majority of film goers, they now get their information off the internet -- especially those of the MTV Generation (and younger) which constitutes by far the largest number of individuals who purchase theater tickets. And what they want when they read a review is intelligent discussion in a fun/entertaining format and they want a review that is reasonably short and to the point. That is exactly what Movie Smackdown does -- I am unaware of anyone else doing this in the same manner.

On occasion, Movie Smackdown will actually have two or maybe even three "Smackdowns" between a current release and a film classic it is being compared to that are written by different contributors. This, too, is unique, and it adds an additional layer not found elsewhere.

Clearly the changing landscape and the unique niche Movie Smackdown occupies within this arena should make it a worthy Wikipedia entry. Yes, I say "KEEP" -- and I do so without reservation.

- - As stated previously, article remains as purely educational and does not contain marketing, advertising or sales information. Purely information, resources, references and notability found on internet and firm's website. To address Ningauble's argument above regarding Modern Healthcare ranking/notability - Ranking/Notability can be found on reference #6 [5] on article - It can be edited according to match reference to ranking/notability if that would make Ningauble happy. Also, code and article seems to be based on other architecture/design firm's Wiki articles, including RTKL and CH2 M Hill. If these articles are deemed noteable and accepted, then this article should be able to remain on Wiki. To address IceCreamAntisocial's sockpupperty claim, while the article does appear to be written from a company representative, it was written as an informative and educational tool.

    - Comment. The alternate citation is a company profile at a trade association with which subject is affiliated.

Hollo, Pennsylvania

This article is almost certainly a hoax. No town/township anywhere close to this size exists in Northampton County, Pennsylvania or anywhere in Pennsylvania for that matter. In particular, searches of the U.S. Census database, USPS website, and the Commerce Department website turn up nothing (all are referenced or mentioned in edit summaries). Google News finds nothing relevant, and google searches just come up with generic commercial sites with no information. Maps.google locates Hollo, but there is no indication of an organized community. Towns of 20,000 people in the U.S. appear on the radar screen; this community does not.

Delete per above. WP:PW consensus was to wait for the entire roster list to be revealed before adding it to the article, so it shouldn't even be merged at this point either, let alone have it's own page. Gavyn Sykes (talk) 00:13, 1 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. My initial hunch would be to rename to WWE SmackDown vs. Raw 2009 roster and redirect to main article. It doesn't seem like there is an opposition to the material as much as am effort to let it grow organically from the main article. Having stated that the consensus to hold off could have been made a bit in a vacuum or simply ignored. The main article from the previous year seems to be able to contain all that year's roster so maybe letting it grow in the main article is a good idea. I suggest, though, that letting those interested in building content be encouraged and supported so maybe just moving this to a sandbox of the main might be a solution and direct those eager to play be encouraged to emulate good editing behaviour there where mistakes don't corrupt or offend as easily.

This is a Spanish-language translation of WHSV-TV. It is inappropriate for inclusion in the English language Wikipedia. It might be appropriate for transwiki to The Spanish language Wikipedia, but I do not know their notability guidelines or how they feel about hosting articles on TV stations in Virginia. The article was tagged for speedy deletion, but it does not precisely fit the criteria. It sat in the CAT:CSD list for over 24 hours, which suggests its deletion is not widely perceived as "uncontroversial" and it may merit discussion here.

City council members in general are not notable.

This gentleman would not qualify even if he were elected. BTW, User:Dlohcierekim's comment was hilarious.

Completely unnecessary pile-on delete per... well... everyone. – Toon ^(talk) 22:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
As the author and subject of the article, I'd like to plead my case and then will welcome whatever decision you make. I obviously feel that local candidates are important. As a young tech worker and avid Wikipedia user, I feel it's important for people in a Silicon Valley city (and the city that's home to Google) to be able to find information about local candidates for office from an online source such as Wikipedia. I'm aware that it's rarely a good idea for someone to post an article about themselves, but I sincerely tried to keep it as unbiased or self-promoting as possible and welcome any edits (positive or negative). I was actually hoping that by creating the article that others would edit it to remove any perceived bias. It's rare for someone under 30 to run for an office like city council, and I think that makes this candidacy unique. I also have reason to believe that there will be press in the next few weeks about this candidacy outside of the Bay Area, so it may be worth keeping for a few more weeks or at least through the election to see how things turn out. However, I value the judgement of the wikipedia community, and if you still feel this article should be deleted, moved, or otherwise modified, I will certainly accept that. Thanks for taking the time to review all of this. – --Cardinal05 (talk) 04:16, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You have violated a major principle of Wikipedia — self-promotion. You simply can't do it, period. Moreover, we have already established over time that political candidates who have not yet actually been elected to office are not notable unless they qualify on other grounds, and you do not. Even if you do win, city councilors and their equivalents are not notable enough even when elected. A very few exceptions are made for councilors who have gained considerable fame in a large community due to longevity in office, significant impact on their community, or (often) misconduct in office. So even if you do win your election, you probably still won't be notable enough for an article. Additionally, it is not that unusual for a person aged 30 or younger to run for a city council. As a reporter, I've seen it quite a few times in cities small and large. But let's not kid ourselves here. You wrote an article to promote your own political campaign, pure and simple, and that's about as big a no-no as you can commit around here. So off you go, and please remember to remove all your campaign signs from the streets after the election. - Realkyhick (Talk to me) 05:08, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was redirect to Michael Jackson. Wizardman 16:47, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

King of pop

There is no need for a disambiguate page for only two entries. This is unlikely to ever expand, unless Jackson releases even more King of Pop/King of pop albums, maybe a single called King of Pop/King of pop, a book called king of Pop/King of pop, maybe have a child called King of Pop/King of pop.... (all unlikely). For now at least there simply isn't a need.

I support returning things to how they were before this was set up. "King of pop" should redirect to Michael Jackson (King of Pop & "Wacko Jacko" redirect there). The "King of Pop" album is a greatest hits record that no-one will remember in a years time (thus I don't think it should redirect to the album).

Speedy declined because there are apparently "plenty of assertions of notability". Though I don't see any according to WP:MUSIC. Not the subject of multiple published works, no charting songs/albums, no gold certified releases, no national/international tour, not on a major label or major indie label, no notable members, not a prominent act, no awards or nominations, no radio rotation and no TV coverage. The only slightly notable thing is having a song in a video game. Hardly justifies an article, does it? Nouse4aname (talk) 12:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment, described by AllMusic as having "built a substantial following due to heavy gigging on the East Coast" and "all four of their releases have sold over 80,000 copies combined". Third-party coverage here and here. Plus, being the house band for the Washington Redskins has to be worth something. Possibly meets either criteria #1 or #10 of WP:MUSIC, but I'll wait to see what others turn up. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 13:07, 2 September 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Neutral leaning toward keep. "have since performed on stage with many national acts and presently tour up and down the east coast of the United States" is certainly an indicator of notability, and if sources can be found to back it up, it's a keeper. If not, delete as unverifiable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:11, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Witch Hunters

Fails WP:SOURCES by relying on primary sources. No real-world context -- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 12:12, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Then it should be edited to be in line with Wikipedia guidelines. 40k has a broad appeal so why delete it?El Jorge (talk) 13:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Editing it to be in line with our notability guidelines isn't possible, because independent third party sources for the material do not exist. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Notability is not and cannot be established by independent third party sources. The article consists purely of in-universe and gameguide material, and would remain that way as the subject lacks sufficient real-world notability for such material to have been written. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 15:19, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no real world notability. Blackmetalbaz (talk) 19:27, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per the running consensus on 40K articles. Sourcing is not independent from Games workshop and a brigade level organizational component of a sub-faction in a table-top miniatures game doesn't really assert notability otherwise. Protonk (talk) 04:07, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Again, I fail to see where exactly "real world notability" plays into this. I do agree that the article needs an extensive overhaul but deleting it seems to be rather contrarian. If people are interested in this article; why delete it based on the fact that it represents fiction? El Jorge (talk) 04:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Take a look at WP:FICT - that says that, for an article to be notable it must: "contain real-world context and sourced analysis, offering detail on a work's development and historical significance, not solely a detailed summary of that work's plot.", have "received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject" and that "reliable sources may cover such things as design, development, reception and cultural impact. This is real-world coverage because it describes the real-world aspects of the work." (not just "the work's fictional elements, such as the setting, characters, and story.") The article does not meet ANY of these criteria. -- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 10:45, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment the 'real world notability' statement I made was in order to ensure that it was clear this article should be judged on the merits of the general notability guideline. In other words, the subject of the article doesn't present a compelling reason for us to ignore all rules and cover it. If, for example, Jedilofty were to nominate Space Marines (Warhammer 40,000), I would argue that the subject's status as a primary sub-faction in 40k meant that we should not delete it. Here, the important guideline covering this topic is notability. The subject isn't notable, as no third party sources cover it, so wikipedia probably shouldn't have an article on it. I'm afraid that this is much more the failure of Games Workshop than of Wikipedia. GW, as they profit from the publication of source material, guards their intellectual property jealously. This means that very few works exist which cover the fictional elements of the game that are not produced by games workshop. And things are probably going to get worse before they get better. There are roughly 110 articles under the purview of the Warhammer 40K wikiProject and the eventual number is likely to be ~60. We've lost a lot of members to the project because of these strings of deletions (I think the 40K project peaked at ~200 articles) and we need editors to help us build encyclopedic (Not exhaustive) coverage of these subject. Will you help us? Protonk (talk) 14:12, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep in some capacity per common sense. The phrase "witch hunters" is a legitimate search term as seen in a Google books search. Thus, this page should not just be outright redlinked. Plus, even as concerns Warhammer, the actual consensus based on article traffic and diversity of editors who edit those articles is that they are wikipedic regardless of snap shot in time AfDs. If editors do not think the warhammer topic is notable, then they hould be bold and use the sources indicated to make an article on a topic that is and discuss these revisions on the article's talk page, but outright deletion seems the wrong approach. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 20:56, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - there are already a number of Witch hunter articles - this AfD is about the Witch Hunters article (note capitalisation).-- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 08:31, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Then boldly redirect without deletion. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as there are no references independent of Games Workshop to demonstrate notability of the article as it is currently written (i.e. the WH40k fictional army). There is, of course, no prejudice against an article about the non-fictional subject of "witch hunters" (suitably referenced using, say, those possibly relevant sources in the linked search given), but the fact that there might be another article about a notable subject unrelated to the focus of the current article (sharing only the name) should not derail the deletion of this article as written. --Craw-daddy | T | 23:57, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This AfD is a total waste of time. We should be able to be bold and just redirect and at worst have a talk page discussion. There's no desperate need to have to delete the edit history in this case. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - We've tried that. ArbCom told us it was the wrong way of going about it. So we use AfD instead because it's the only practical means of getting a merge to go through without risking a six-month restriction on fictional-subject articles. Nifboy (talk) 16:44, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - There is no reason why Witch Hunters should be redlinked when there are historical Witch hunter articles that it unquestionably at worst should be redirected to. If this content is keepable it should be moved to Witch Hunters (Warhammer) even then at worst redirected somewhere as well. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - I don't disagree, but starting an AfD by stating an intent to merge basically invites a swarm of procedural "keep, afd is not for merging" votes that ignores the reasons why articles that should be WP:BOLDly merged (and would have been merged in the past) are coming here in the first place. Nifboy (talk) 17:07, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        That's why we should have a merge discussion on the talk page of the article instead. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Except that isn't practical when there is any opposition at all because talk-page discussions can go on indefinitely (and, per ArbCom, depleting our finite patience is grounds for editing restrictions). It took the Poképrosal three years before going into effect, and that was with an initial consensus to merge. Nifboy (talk) 17:18, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Wikipedia does not have a deadline. There's no pressing need to do much of anything on a volunteer project that intends to catalog human knowledge unless it is a hoax, libel, or copy vio. We cannot afford to take our time with those three kinds of problematic articles, but in a case like this one, there's no urgency. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:22, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        There may not be a deadline, but that doesn't mean we should sit on our laurels and do nothing while the quality of the encyclopedia suffers due to filibuster. In the US Senate, the way to break a filibuster is through forcing a decision to be made. And I would not like to see Wikipedia's efforts to improve quality compare disfavorably to the US Senate. Nifboy (talk) 17:28, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Again, I have yet to see any valid reason why Witch Hunters should be outright redlinked. The idea that people looking for information on the historic witch hunters would not type in "witch hunters" as a search phrase is not a valid one. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        In, unusually, total agreement with Le Grand Roi. This discussion is, unusually for Warhammer 40K AfDs, incredibly stupid. "dogs" redirects to "dog", "computers" redirects to "computer", "writers" redirects to "writer". Why wouldn't "witch hunters" redirect to "witch hunter"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 210.160.15.16 (talk) 02:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Nobody has actually suggested that it shouldn't. A post-deletion redirect is perfectly fine. Arguing for one in an AfD is just a smokescreen. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 09:39, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Yes, but all these are all in lower case. Capitals play an important part, which is why Witch Hunter (an article about an album) is a different article to witch hunter (a disambiguation page)! By all means delete, THEN redirect; there is no need to keep the history of the article - in fact leaving the history would invite reversion to an article with no reliable sources or real-world context. -- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 10:25, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Plot summary and in-universe detail with very little real-world information. Lack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject indicates that this topic is non-notable. Doctorfluffy (robe and wizard hat) 01:11, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- As indicated above, there is real world informatin on the concept of witch hunters and thus this article should not be outright redlinked. Also, WP:JNN is never a valid reason for deletion. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:37, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm beginning to think you don't understand what JNN means. Pagra shtak 17:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - I cannot imagine any logical reason why anyone would NOT argue that at worst Witch Hunters should be redirected to Witch hunter and if people believe the Warhammer content to be worthwhile that wouldn't be in an article under Witch Hunters (Warhammer) we should not need an AfD to do this. It should be obvious that the real world notability topic would be a redirect to Witch hunter and then if people wanted to have an AfD over Witch Hunters (Warhammer), that is another story. As far as "jnn" goes. Given the RfC on notability for which many of the proposals are fairly even divided among supports and opposes, it is clear that the community just does not have a consensus on notability, i.e. it is subjective and when I see "non-notable" used by someone who has a "mission" to delete, it makes use of notability seem that much more nothing more than subjective opinion, i.e. a ten dollar way of saying "I don't like it." --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:10, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - If you have issues with that mission, then fine—take that up with him (on his talk page, preferably). JNN says that one shouldn't merely state "not notable", but should explain why the subject is not notable. Doctorfluffy has done this. His reason for why he considers this subject not notable is a "[l]ack of significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject". Doctorfluffy is clearly not in violation of JNN here. It's too bad that you are disregarding an argument based on the speaker and not the argument itself. Pagra shtak 18:03, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Because the "argument" when used as part of a "mission" and when there simply is no logical reason why anyone would not at worst argue to redirect the page as without any doubt people are indeed realistically likely to search for witch hunters at least in the unquestionably verifiable historic context is one where I am not going to be naive about the arguer's actual intentions or honesty. I could see an argument to move this information to Witch Hunters (Warhammer) and maybe even have a deletion discussion on that as reasonable. I can not see any argument that does not at least say, "But hey, there have been real world historic witch hunters who have served as the focus of scholarly studies, so we at least need to redirect this page to Witch hunt or Witch hunting. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:22, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        So create a redirect after the article is deleted then. It's simple enough. Why is it the "wrong approach", as you put it, to have an AFD for this article, but an AFD for the exact same content at another page title would be "reasonable"? Pagra shtak 13:20, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        Because we can be bold and redirect when necessary and truth be told, I would rather Wikipedia be a compendium of topics of debatable notability than a compendium of AfDs. --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 19:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    - You can lie about me all you want, but if you would rather do that than constructively discuss how best to cover the term "witch hunters", I guess that's your perogative, but why not step back from your stated dislike of me and actually consider why at worst a redirect of Witch Hunters as a legitimate search term for Witch hunter or Witch hunt would not be appropriate. Those topics already exist and to suggest other than that hey regardless of the notability of the current content of the article people might seriously search for the verifiable historical subject and thus at the very least the article is redirectable in that capacity just to yet again lob inaccurate and bad faith accusations against me defies understanding. You know, I don't start off arguments in these discussions accusing people of things... --Happy editing! Sincerely, Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 01:48, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - You want to keep this article because something completely unrelated can be put here. That isn't in any sense a misrepresentation of your stated goal.
        We don't do pure wiki deletion for reasons that have been explained to you, we don't keep unrelated article histories without good reason and this has been pointed out to you, and bringing up wholly unrelated subjects in AFDs is disruptive and this has been pointed out to you. Most of all, you haven't made any case that this is a special exception to any of those three general states; instead, you're simply campaigning for each of them, in Every. Single. AFD.

I am arguing that the acceptable spinoff content should be moved to Witch Hunters (Warhammer) and that Witch Hunters should be redirected to either Witch hunt or Witch hunting. I am NOT arguing that an all new article be written over the existing content as such articles already exist. As far as edit histories go, I am not persuaded that unless there's a copy vio or libel in them, it's any big deal keeping them. But in any case, I actually could understand arguments of "delete, but redirect", but omitting the "but redirect" just does not make sense and that is where I most take issue here, i.e. that this a deletion discussion and I am not convinced that the phrase "witch hunters" must be redlinked altogether. Making such suggestions is on topic, because we are not restricted to black and white, yes or no, vote style arguments. We consider merges, we consider redirects, we conisder renames, etc. Put simply, we consider how best to move ahead and in this case I think that the most logical and legitimate search for the phrase "witch hunters" is in the real world historical context and as such I am recommending that it be redirected. I see no pressing need to delete the edit history and as I believe that spinoff articles are acceptable this content can be moved elsewhere, but I'm no expert on Warhammer (I am a historian by contrast) and have no strong opinion one way or the other if an article called Witch Hunters (Warhammer) is kept, but I do just want to be sure that there is no opposition to appropriately enough redirecting Witch Hunters to one of the historic articles as suggested. I am making this suggestion as a means of being helpful and to be sure that we our considering all possibilities here and to add something original to the discussion. --Happy editing!

        You're arguing that this title be about a subject completely unrelated to what it is about now. Whether you are persuaded that the history should be deleted merits one comment. "We should redirect this instead of deleting it" repeated over and over and over in the same single AFD is disruptive badgering. Currently, nobody has objected to redirecting this after it's deleted, and your opinion is clear. Now hush unless you have some new proposal, revelation, or other new insight. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 02:27, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
It seems it has only proprietary linkage and no citations from independent sources. Let the discussion go the full term. If no such citation is added, delete, then create Witch hunter redirect to Witch hunter dab page; if sourcing arrives in time, reaname article per Le Grand Roi and create the redirect anyway. 147.70.242.40 (talk) 00:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a Canadian lawyer that does not seem to meet WP:POLITICIAN.

Upon my search, I have also noticed a newspaper article tieing the candidate to Mr James Carville.

You referred specifically to the wordservices bio[11], and so that's what I addressed. Being a board member or on a community council is not notable in itself; many people are on community boards. And I have reviewed the sources: 1 and 3 are self-generated, 4,5,7,8 list to his name only. 6 is a passing connection to Carville (see WP:NOTINHERITED). Source 2 might establish notability if it were longer. As is, it's a short mention on a lengthy list of people. justinfr (talk/contribs) 13:41, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Ireland (Home Nation)

Content fork of History of Ireland (1801–1922) placed under what could be considered a controversial name by some. Anyway it's a duplicate of a pre-existing article that already seems to have a normal Wikipedia naming convention. Canterbury Tail talk 11:53, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I realise now I've misrepresented something. The article Ireland (Home Nation) was created as a duplicate of the other, and then the previous redirected to the new home nation one. I undid the redirection as I didn't see how it was useful, and why the article couldn't exist as is with a non-controversial name that matches normal conventions. Canterbury Tail talk 12:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge any useful, sourced content not already mentioned at History or Ireland (1801 - 1922); we really don't need duplicate articles; duplicates tend to end up contradicting each other. GO-PCHS-NJROTC ^(Messages) 12:04, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This was an actual political entity, perhaps there is a case for having two article one on the history and one on the political entity that was the Home Nation of ireland; we do this for example for the UK, where there is a history of the UK from 1707 article (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_United_Kingdom) and a history of the formation of the UK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_the_formation_of_the_United_Kingdom). In addition to the history of the UK as a whole, we have articles on the previous political entitys which existed.

Kingdom of Great Britain

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland

United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland

The Commonwealth formed by the three Kingdoms in Cromwell's time

We also have articles on

Scotland, which is the present day home nation and a seperate one on the political entity of the Kingdom of Scotland

England and the Kingdom of England

And also one on the Kingdom of Ireland

There seems to be a pretty consistant distiction drawn in wikipedia articles on the British Isles that political entitys should have a seperate existance. I think that is why this page should exist.

Sparten (talk) 15:26, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The argument that "'Ireland (home nation)' should exist as a separate article because it was a political entity that needs describing" is not one that I follow entirely. The Kingdom of Ireland (as a political entity) was succeeded by the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland (as a political entity). The whole point about Ireland as a "Home Nation" in this period is that it WASN'T a political entity. The Parliament of Ireland was abolished in 1801, and brought under the union. Comparing to present day Scotland is not a valid comparison because Scotland does have a national assembly, and therefore is a political entity with a measure of independence in governance. So, per my vote/recommendation below, I don't think this article is warranted. Certainly the history of the situations needs capturing and description. But the relevant/existing/duplicate History of Ireland (1801–1922) already does this. Guliolopez (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article represents significant duplicate content with History of Ireland (1801–1922), and (per GO-PCHS-NJROTC) will end up either contradicting the existing article(s), or imparting the same same data in a slightly different way, with no additional value added. Guliolopez (talk) 14:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Scotland did not have a parliament till 1999! Irish legal system was seperate from that of the rest of GB, it has its own government institutions at Dublin castle, a flag, it had a Chief Secretary, it had a Lord Lieutanant and it had a Secretary of State responsible for it. We might as well not have an article on British India since it was a colony, or perhaps not have one on East Pakistan since it is now Bangladesh. Or maybe we should not have one on the Colony of Viginia as well since we have an article on Virginia!

Ireland was a home nation and a political entity and it should have a page of its own.

Sparten (talk) 18:30, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. "Scotland did not have a parliament till 1999". That's fine, but your comment was that Scotland has its own article now, and therefore Ireland should have it's own article to cover the "then" period. I was pointing out that the comparison wasn't like for like. That's all. Further, you point out that the reason for keeping "Ireland (Home nation)" is that it deals with the policial entity at the time. But it doesn't. It's a copy and paste of the History article. And as such doesn't add anything. Hence redirect. If the article in question actually dealt with the concept you describe, I would be voting on a different basis. (I may not be voting differently, but I would be voting on a different basis.) But for now, my vote remains "Delete as WP:REDUNDANT". Guliolopez (talk) 19:09, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That places such as ACMI, the Science Museum, the Barbican Art Gallery and the Museum of Science and Industry have invented the figures mentioned in the article demonstrated above or should we asking for independent audits?

Comment (reply to User:Mattinbgn) - First, regarding the claim in the article that it is "seen by over 1 million people worldwide", where did that claim come from? As I write this, there are 2 references at the end of the claim, both refs are from the exhibitors themselves, and I can't find any mention of "a million people". We don't need "independent audits", just reliable references for such claims. Second, there's not a lot of content in the article, apart from a list of dates, and a list of games seen on the exhibition floor. Third, regarding your comment about a past exhibition being more notable than many minor movies and albums: There is a certain transience about an exhibition in that it is not permanent and cannot be viewed after the exhibition has finished (unlike movies and albums). This may be emphasised by the fact that a newspaper may publish a pointer to the exhibition in the Entertainment / "What's on this week" section, but do they mention it ever again after the exhibition has closed? However, I'll leave it up to others to comment on whether past / closed exhibitions deserve the same status as albums and movies, as I don't know what the Wikipedia precedent is. --Lester 21:06, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Seems to meet general notability standards - I've found a number of reliable sources independent of the exhibition. The BBC has a couple of articles ([14], [15]), a couple from The Independent ([16], [17]), a couple from The Guardian ([18], [19]), a couple from The Register ([20], [21]), as well as australian newspaper (which supports the claim about 1 million viewers): ([22]), and a couple of other sources: [23], [24].

Comment - I performed various searches myself, and was amazed how many sites refer to Wikipedia as the source for awards on different actors. This cleanup for this article, if they are deleted, will require a large scrubbing of Wikipedia to clean up all references on the actor pages.

Turlo Lomon (talk) 12:57, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Not being listed in IMDB's awards page is not a disqualifier, as IMDB does not list many verifiable current film awards per their own statement made when trying to submit an award not on their list: "Please note that we are not currently accepting new events, only awards for existing events." For instance, they won't accept "Webby Awards" even for very notable filmmakers... and the Webby definitely passes WP:V, WP:N, and WP:RS. But that is a problem with IMDB and not Wiki. However, and that aside, There is absolutely no evidence that the Prestige Academy of Motion Pictures or the Prestige Academy of Motion Pictures Awards exist. Article created in January 2006 by one editor who then added the award to a number of other articles and who returned to wiki only 2 more times over the next 2 years to bombard the WikiBase with more similar wikilinks.

I also question the notability claim of the book's author Suman Chakraborty. Basement12 (T.C) 00:39, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This should be Speedy G11 - the article is a blatant advert for a self-published book by a person whose entry on Wiki also needs to be deleted as he has done nothing other than self-publish his own work. This is self-aggrandizement by an academic. Wikipedia should not be used to further someone's career. The claims made in the article are unsupported by investigation. The publisher of the book [25] has only published two books - both by Suman Chakraborty. The creator of this article may be using sockpuppets - User:Wikiusernew. A speedy tag was removed by an IP address located in India. The article itself states "the publisher of the book has been accused of not circulating and printing the title properly. The book is still not available in major Indian libraries and the Western world too is yet to be notified." I don't feel that Wikipedia is the appropriate venue for the ~~notification~~ advertising of this book. I'll put up another speedy tag and see if an admin can delete it before another IP removes the tag. SilkTork *^YES! 09:58, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Author apparently is Mario Rabinowitz, and had a paper published in the IEEE Power Engineering Review ([26] (starting at page 24) on the Internet. While publication in an engineering association journal (cited in article) means that this is actually NOT original research, it may be a copyright violation, since the IEEE Review is the owner of the article, from which this appears to be copied word-for-word. Somewhat interesting idea, though it strikes me as something that would be mentioned in one of the Poe aritcles. Mandsford (talk) 12:47, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Odd that the ref in the article (presumably written by Rabinowitz) says that its print publication was in the IEEE Power Engineering Review (1993), whereas the linked site where Rabinowitz himself uploaded the PDF to the Web says that it was published in the Journal of New Energy (2001).

There are a few issues to resolve.

Question of Nobility - Miles Fisher's Wikipedia page has been online for many months and it was never an issue until just a few days ago. Still, many people continue to look at his page proving that its information has implicit value. Moreover, millions of people have seen his performances, particularly in Superhero Movie (it was covered so significantly that a lengthy article was written on his performance in specific in wikinews article by other members of the wiki commuity - http://en.wikinews.org/wiki/Tom_Cruise_spoofed_in_film_%27Superhero_Movie%27). I do not think this article should be deleted on the grounds of a lack of "nobility" of the subject.

Question of Copy Violation - The claim that the text here is nearly identical to that found on Miles Fisher's IMDB page is undisputed. Nonetheless, it is written by the same person. Both authors, on Wiki and on IMDB are "Erwin Fletcher". It can therefor not be plagiarized, as it was written by the same person. Furthermore, the Wiki article has been updated and improved upon since, with many added new external links, and significant restructuring of each paragraph with additional information listed. I do not think this article should be deleted on the grounds of a Copy Violation.

Finally, to quote from the Wikipedia guidelines:

"A topic is deemed encyclopedic if it is "notable"[38] in the Wikipedia jargon; i.e., if it has received significant coverage in secondary reliable sources (i.e., mainstream media or major academic journals) that are independent of the subject of the topic. Second, Wikipedia must expose knowledge that is already established and recognized.[39] In other words, it must not present, for instance, new information or original works."

Google has a myriad of hits on the subject at question. Articles have been written about him in Variety, New York Post, Dallas Morning News, Harvard Crimson. He has been featured on various Television programing. This article is exposing knowledge on him that is already established but giving the subject's biography greater breadth and clarity.

Unless there are other claims against the worth of this article, I advocate a removal of the warning banner at the top. Many thanks. --Erwinfletcher (talk) 05:16, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

'The claim that the text here is nearly identical to that found on Miles Fisher's IMDB page is undisputed. ' - Unsurprising, as no one, to my knowledge, has made that claim other than yourself. However, if it's true--I haven't checked for myself--then the material in question MUST be deleted as a copyright violation, since IMDB holds the copyright.

The rest of your commentary, unfortunately, does not address the problems with the article and its subject, namely that he's not actually notable nor has he done anything really of note, whatever passing mentions he's generated in trade and alumni publications. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 07:43, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Satisfies WP:NOTE: has received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject, as can be seen from a brief perusal here. Here are some notable mentions in Daily Variety, Toronto Star and San Francisco Chronicle, however it should be noted that the actor was receiving positive acclaim as far back as 2001, years prior to his appearance in Superhero Movie: - Peppard, Alan (December 3, 2001). "Fate of Texas in their ears". The Dallas Morning News. p. 27A. I will try to work on this article to improve it and add additional sources. (Note: I wrote that Wikinews article mentioned above.) Cirt (talk) 10:57, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, he does not satisfy WP:NOTE, as brief passing mentions in a few newspaper stories do not constitute'significant coverage', nor am I seeing any evidence of the most of the media name-dropping you listed above. What notable mention in the Toronto Star? What notable mention in theSan Francisco Chronicle? What notable mention in Daily Variety?--the last is only a brief casting notice, probably a press release sent out by his agent. --CalendarWatcher (talk) 12:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that the Daily Variety article you refer to that is currently linked in the article is simply a bio brief, the article I mentioned is a different Daily Variety article that gives significant discussion of the individual, as do multiple other WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources, and this amply satisfies WP:NOTE. I will demonstrate this if given a chance to do so, I just have not been able to yet. Cirt (talk) 13:44, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have emailed Erwinfletcher (talk · contribs) in an attempt to resolve the possible issue related to text from Miles Fisher's bio page on IMDB, which says it is written by "Erwin Fletcher". If the user agrees to release the work under the GFDL, then that is no longer an issue. In any event, I will work to remove all that info anyways and source everything in the article to additional WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources (though I noticed some were already included as external links, and I have begun to format those and add more). Cirt (talk) 11:30, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see how. We can always paraphrase a source. The IMDB page not showing the subject meets WP:N is an example of how not-notable the subject is. IMDB content cannot be regarded as reliible enough to establish notability. The fact remains, he has no notable roles, has done nothing rising to the level required by WP:BIO, and lacks significant coverage by third party sources, Cheers Dloh cierekim 13:12, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We won't really even need the IMDB source at all in the article, I have found sufficient other secondary sources that satisfy WP:RS/WP:V to improve upon it. I just have not had a chance to do so yet. Cirt (talk) 13:42, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dlohcierekim (talk · contribs) - I agree with you that IMDB is not the best WP:RS source, that is why we can't really trust IMDB in and of itself as to whether someone is notable or not - we should not rely upon it to judge this but should instead look to see if the individual has been discussed significantly in independent sources, as per WP:NOTE. That is why I will improve upon the article with other secondary sources that satisfy WP:RS and WP:V. Cirt (talk) 13:51, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I have done a good deal of work on this article. I removed all of the material that was the exact same text as at IMDB. I added a whole bunch of material from lots of WP:RS/WP:V secondary sources that significantly discuss the individual. The subject of the article is the son of the President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas Richard W. Fisher and grandson of former Congressman James M. Collins. He beat out 10,000 entries at the 2001 International Teen Movie Festival (ITMF) to win "Best Actor" for his own film Head Shot. Newsday focused an article on his career in 2001 - the article is titled: "Miles Fisher, 'It' Boy" and he is referred to as "wunderkind" and "the next Tom Cruise". He was tapped by film director Ronald F. Maxwell for a role in Gods and Generals. He received positive praise in many different papers for his role in Superhero Movie, the reviews singled him out as the only funny part of the movie when the reviews were highly critical of the film itself. And now he has a recurring role on the A&E Network program The Cleaner. At the very least I request that this AfD discussion be relisted to generate a more thorough discussion.

The Coal Men

This article has quite a few problems. For one, there is a major COI issue to deal with. I don't know for a fact, but the image uploads are by Jason Colemen, which is very similar to the lead singer Dave Colemen. Also, tie that in with the statements made in the bio section. Some of them seem to be statements that only a person close to the band would know. I didn't find any of the friends statements on any of the sites given. Besides all of that, this article fails WP:RS and WP:MUSIC. No notable label. No major tours. A supposed link to The Lonely Hearts, but it's not certain or sourced. Delete Undead Warrior (talk) 05:18, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Jamie Olsen-Mills

(1) Not sufficiently notable, and (2) possible WP:AUTO. She is a relatively low-rated player at this point. Also, most editors who have worked on the page don't edit much on other articles. Bubba73 (talk), 04:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - generally we draw the line at GMs, national champions, or truly outstanding juniors (like World Junior champions). Being the #81 U-21 girl in the USA[31] is a nice achievement and I wish her well. But it doesn't meet WP notability criteria, it doesn't even come close.

Strong Delete What Peter Ballard said. A 17-year-old rated 1721 is very non-notable. I was rated close to 2000 at 17, and would not claim that was close to notability. We have not even treated International Masters (around 2400-2500 Elo rating) as necessarily being notable (unless they're also prominent writers like John L. Watson or Jeremy Silman), and she's very, very far from that level (or its junior equivalent). Krakatoa (talk) 06:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - WP:ATHLETE suggests that she should have played in a top tournament, but her ranking is so low that it appears she wouldn't qualify for the higher level tournaments - ELO_rating_system#FIDE_tournament_categories. Unless there is evidence of her playing at a high level tournament or against a high level player then she is not notable enough for a standalone article. SilkTork *^YES! 11:15, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Top 100 on a gender and age-restricted list is not really a claim to notability. Regarding the rating of 1721... well I am a 1290 player and consider players with 1721 to be out of my class, but for an encyclopedia entry one really ought to be at national champion or grandmaster- (perhaps IM-) level, and 1721 is about 600-800 points below that. Second place in the first tournament says very little unless it's described what type of tournament that is. (Most tournament players will sooner or later finish second or better in a tournament, because the strength of tournaments varies greatly.) Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:50, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all the good rationales are already taken, 'cause I went to bed instead of coming back to this. Setting aside the coi or auto issues, because a notable subject could have an article with those issues, subject is not sufficiently notable. I'm not aware of a notability guideline for Chess, but if we apply WP:ATHLETE, then subject does not meet that. From what I see, being in the FIDE Top 100 Junior's is not sufficient standing. Cheers, Dlohcierekim 14:20, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Well, if you are in the unrestricted FIDE top 100, then you are almost certainly notable. Players on that list are grandmaster level, and players of that strength tend to get their efforts published about in their home country's chess publications at least, if not the general media. On this article, we are talking about the US Womens' Under age 21 list, and the restrictions on nationality, gender, and age have excluded almost all the notable players. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks Sjakklle. I clarified my position. And understand now better what we are discussing. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 18:09, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Amend rationale per Suncreator below-- Does not meet WP:BIO. Is not a top achiever/competitor in chess, and like an athlete not achieving as a highest level competitor, is not notable enough for a Wikipedia article. We really need a guideline for non athletic competition of this nature. Dloh cierekim 23:43, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete as advert As it was just released yesterday, it hardly has had time to become notable. I found no reliable, verifable sources. The thing is hosted on freewebs, and has had no hits on it's forum. This gives the appearance of a start-up from yesterday. No hits for "Rabbid Script". Many for RScript, but there are many other uses. Charlie Parker, the musician gets many G-hits. Only 3 for Charlie Parker + Rscript. Google news has seven archives, unrelated. It seems to me that this is promotional in nature based on talk page content @ Talk:RScript and general lack of any info anywhere else, and brand newness of subject.Cheers, Dloh cierekim 05:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
This is a clear candidate for Speedy G11 - Blatant advertising. The article as written tells us that the product was launched yesterday, and then tells us the benefits of the product. The creator explains on the talkpage that there is no other information because all the information is already contained in the article. Wikipedia is not the place to promote one's products and that's why we have Speedy - the longer the article remains on Wiipedia the more exposure the product gets so it becomes worth a company's while to post something on Wikipedia in order to promote their product if it manages to stay up a full seven days for an Afd. A Speedy delete negates that value, and discourages other companies from doing the same thing in future. SilkTork *^YES! 11:25, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really? WP:COMPANY says that a company must have been the subject of "significant coverage in secondary sources. Such sources must be reliable... Trivial or incidental coverage of a subject by secondary sources is not sufficient to establish notability" (my emphasis). I am just not seeing this kind of coverage for this club. An article in a local paper, and appearing in a few polls in magazines does not seem to be significant, non-trivial coverage to me. -- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 09:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Really. "Trivial" is defined by WP:NOTABILITY as a "passing mention" or "directory listing". The coverage if this place is far beyond the scope of "passing mention", "directory listing" or "incidental." Once again a user seems to be under the false impression that local coverage is somehow banned as a "reliable source." Sorry, but in no where in WP:NOTABILITY or WP:COMPANY or WP:RELIABLESOURCES is there any stipulation that local coverage is not allowed. --Oakshade (talk) 18:05, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not saying that local coverage is not allowed (trust me, I used enough in the John Brunt V.C. (public house) article - saying local coverage is not allowed would make me a hypocrite). It wasn't the fact it's a local paper, it's the fact that I don't believe the journalistic integrity to be that high. As for the "significant coverage". All I've seen people offer as sources for this article are polls in a couple of magazines. That's hardly in-dpeth coverage! If there truly was significant coverage of this establishment in reliable sources, surely they would have been added to the article as references by now? -- JediLofty ^{Talk to me}_{Follow me} 08:40, 5 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Notability (Railway lines and stations) and Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Common_outcomes#Transportation are helpful here. There would be a question about the station's notability even if it existed. As it does not yet exist, this is a debate about a nothing.

Delete Unsourced notability. OhNoitsJamie ^Talk 23:50, 3 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, this station has been politically approved, and therefore has a very high probability (not just might be) of being built. Therefore WP:Crystal Ball does not apply and the station should be considered notable. Groundbreaking is not a requirement for inclusion, just that it is "almost certain to take place", which the planning of this project has now reached. Arsenikk ^(talk) 06:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. 6th Street isn't shown on the current planning map of the Central Corridor -- the nearest stops are 10th Street and Fourth and Cedar. This engineering diagram shows that there's no plan for a 6th Street station right now, and that the station platform is already diagonally located between 4th and 5th Streets. I don't know where they'd even put a proposed 6th Street Station -- it's pretty well boxed in between the Town Square parking ramp and the Macy's store, which apparently opened in the former Dayton's location. (OH, and if you want some extra fun, tell them to catch the train at the corner of 8th and Cedar.) --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 20:19, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- After a little more research, I think I see what the story is. An earlier draft Environmental Impact Statement listed a station on 6th Street. The new supplemental draft EIS, page 3-28, states that they're going to cut diagonally across the block bounded by 4th, 5th, Cedar, and Minnesota Streets and build a larger station there. Page 2-17 of this document says they're going to do the diagonal because it fixes a tight curve and a bunch of impacts to utilities. Thus, it looks apparent that the 6th Street Station was the product of an earlier design, which has since been modified, so it isn't in the plans any more. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 20:49, 4 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I nominated this one for speedy and it was declined. In my view being president of a football (soccer) club, however famous that club may be, is not per se notable.

I think the key adjective here (which I originally omitted) is "significant."

Here are the sources as I usually judge them, per google news, books and scholar. [34] [35][36]. The newspaper and most of the book mentions are relatively few, and not all that in depth, mainly just tagging the name of the therapy on after a mention of reiki and other available therapies. There are a few books on the subject itself but probably not by the best of presses. I wanted to get other's opinions on this little-edited article rather than work hard on something that might not be noteworthy enough to merit inclusion. It doesn't seem entirely clear cut to me but I thought I might not be able to judge that well as an occasional user of this therapy who spent money to learn it lol. P.S.

~~Keep~~. A quick search turned up a book - [37], which in addition to what has already been found does indicate a lot of satisfatory research material, and a widespread use of this therapy. Part of the problem that other editors may have had in coming to a decision on this, is that there are a variety of different spellings for the term which may lead people to think there are less reliable sources out there than there are. SilkTork *^YES! 13:52, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

O my word! [38] that is an avalanche of books! That has to be the most amount of books which either have a section on a topic or are directly about a topic which has been brought to AfD. 38 books in total. Significantly notable! SilkTork *^YES! 14:02, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If you look, these books are about reiki, a system from which seichim mainly derives, or similar new age stuff, and only mention seichim as one of numerous practices derived from it. The few books on seichim itself are self-published, which means they're not WP:RS as the authors can write what they like, and anyway books actually mainly about the subject are very few. If this is kept you have to promise to help me improve this neglected article and add cites for its statements from WP:RS. :) If you look that link only shows three books devoted to seichim, the first two are self-published by "Celestial Wellspring" publications, the author's own business, [39] the other published by Llumina press , a self-publishing firm [40]. Both sources call it seichim-reiki, which shows it's similarity and derivation from reiki. I held a merge debate for it with reiki, as I don't consider it independently notable, but people didn't want it there. Sticky Parkin 17:17, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You're right - I haven't gone through them all, but the first two I checked out are self-published. I think it's your call Sticky. You seem to have some knowledge and experience of this subject - certainly more than anyone who has come forward. From my quick research there's books out there which are about this therapy, and books which mention this therapy - though the quality of the books and their coverage needs examining. It's possible that it could be a section in the reiki article. So the choice now is - Delete, Keep or Merge to Reiki#Seichim. If you're uncertain - merge to Reiki#Seichim, see if it grows there, and if it does, at that point break it out in summary style into a standalone article - or really, just back into the page space now occupied by Seichim. SilkTork *^YES! 19:33, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oh I just checked and out of the three self-published books about this therapy, one hasn't been released yet, a release which has been promised for several years. I proposed a merge of the two articles but people didn't want it, some didn't think it was the same therapy, (which I suppose it isn't exactly) others didn't want more clutter in the reiki article. If this debate ends with a consensus that we should merge, we could probably go for it. I wanted other people's opinions, yes I know a bit about the therapy but I also know what indicates notability on wiki, and am not quite sure/dubious. So it depends on what any consensus decides.:) Sticky Parkin 23:42, 2 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]
