The result was Keep following withdrawn nomination. Pastor Theo (talk) 01:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Maternal influence on sex determination
This is basically a short essay about the possibility of maternal influence on sex determination (presumably human or mammal). The article is not so much a summary of the existing literature as a blurb you might find in the weekend section of the newspaper. There is a whiff of original research in the sentence "Two references cast serious doubt on this simplistic assumption and a Web site presents some information contradicting the conclusion." (The web site is a personal web page containing four paragraphs on the subject.) Contested prod. ... discospinster talk 19:40, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article was supposed to be a simple renaming of the earlier article "Who determines the sex of a child?" to make it more like an encyclopedia entry, but not being fluent in Wikipedese, the article disappeared, so I had to reconstruct it. As far as deleting the PROD label, that seems to be what I should do if I don't think the article should be deleted; I wouldn't have submitted it otherwise. It was my intention to point out that The Web, as well as numerous high school and college biology courses, conclude that the male determines the sex of the child without presenting any real evidence. This article, as it now stands, may not be any more than a personal essay, but I hoped that informed Wikipedia users would add relevant content so that it would evolve into a genuine encyclopedia article. Wikipedia just may not be the proper place for this, but I would like you to consider leaving the article in place for more than a few more days to see what happens. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Curiousranger (talk • contribs) 16:05, 7 August 2009 (UTC) I would sign this if I knew how - Curiousranger.[reply]

The result was keep. (X! · talk) · @904 · 20:42, 13 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Domain name speculation
There's no sources that distinguish this from Cybersquatting. Cybersquatting is defined as registering domains in bad faith to profit on a trademark. Domain name speculation, along with Domaining is registering domain in bad faith to profit off of future trademarks, also illegal. See also Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Domaining_(2nd_nomination). Magicalthirty (talk) 19:22, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Alansohn: Its agreed on that there is a concept behind cybersquatting. thats why cybersquatting already has its space on wikipedia. I don't see the need to add more pages.

Google scholar, books and news all show nothing for these three words together. It's written like an advertisement and the only reference to the outside world is a link to the company's own website.

The article reads like it's advertising, but they don't make these anymore. It's been tagged as such by a number of other editors. I can't find any real sources, the best I come up with is a Trade name dictionary that has the "Kite" name registered for a small boat to the relevant company. This deserves mention in a Newport Boats article, but not as a stand-alone. Shadowjams (talk) 18:56, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was merge to Domain name speculation. Regardless of the many keep sentiments below, the sources provided to not support having "domaining" as a stand-alone article, but merely use the term is an apparent neologism to refer to domain name speculation. I am performing the redirect myself, and leave the merge up to editorial discretion. lifebaka++ 20:38, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Domaining
AfDs for this article:
Page is a recreation of a previously deleted article. First of all, it does not meet any encyclopedic standards. Uniquely enough, they removed the only actual news piece about Domaining which clearly defines domaining as an attempt by cybersquatters to rebrand themselves. Again, redirect to cybersquatting. If you look for news about 'domaining' the only ones who actual write 'domaining is not cybersquatting' about the practice come from websites like 'Domain Name Journal' and 'The Domains', clearly biased sources (basically blogs it seems) written by people who want to legitimize the practice of cybersquatting.

The result was redirect to David Ogilvy, 12th Earl of Airlie. There was consensus that the subject lacked individual notability, and a general agreement that there should be a redirect. Truthfully, I'm not certain that there was consensus to redirect to the target I've chosen, and as always editors should feel free to change the redirect target as they would for any other editor. I have personal sympathy for DGG's view here, but it doesn't have support in this debate.

Questionable notability; other than imdb listing for some minor roles, all references are from subject's site. I don't see many 3rd party reliable source mentions outside of his hometown of Harrisonburg, VA. OhNoitsJamie Talk 15:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I've added some info to the article in the past month, so I like it of course. It is a pity that users like Ohnoitsjamie and freshacconci seem to have declared war on it lately. I actually LIKE a more inclusive ---more encyclopediac (sp?)--- Wiki. I like how, for instance, every last predreadnaught is listed. Why even Danton-class French predreadnoughts are here. As for artists, many civilians think The Art Book (ISBN 9-78014-836256) is quite quite inclusive ---lots of really obscure artists there. And yet Wiki beats The Art Book in my mind since the book excludes a lot of less famous but still major artists like Keith Haring, Judith Leyster, Félix González-Torres. Wiki also lists really obscure artists like Mark Lewis (artist), Ian Carr-Harris, Kazuo Nakamura, Lisa Steele, Terry Fox (artist), and so many others. This is good. I go to Wiki to learn new material, not just to review only what I already know. This article has been protected by various admins for over five years I think. It is finally getting better detail and is improving under more admins' care. Keep. Cramyourspam (talk) 12:40, 7 August 2009 (UTC)cramyourspam[reply]

The result was Merge and delete. Despite the wide variety of bolded comments; every participant was amenable to incorporating this information into Chicken rather than leaving it as a rather sparse and inherently limited independent article. The main article is indeed rather long, but these statistics should probably be split out as part of a larger section if a split is indeed deemed necessary. Decltype (talk · contribs) is also correct that no attribution is required here as the article's sole content was composed of statistics taken directly from a source.

Peter cohen (talk) 12:38, 6 August 2009 (UTC) (categories)[reply] Delete as nom This author seems to be largely known for his self-published rock reviews. Although he has been the subject of an articel in the NYT, this seems to have been a flavour piece about this person who has a big website of his own rather than a profile of a persopn of lasting signifcance. In a previous discussion on the article talk page, there was mention of him as a recommended review source at WP:Albums. I have checked the project page today and he is not mentioned there and Amateur sites such as his are deprecated in WP:Albums#Review sites. However album infoboxes continue to be altered with insertions of this man's reviews e.g. the five edits today by this anon [10]. The removal of this article will make such additions stand out as redlinked.

This is a contentious article. It has been in AFD at least three times under this name, and several other times under "creative misspellings". In the past, the concerns were over notability, as the movie had not even been released. This current incarnation shows the same concerns: there are no verifiable references from reliable sources. The Ed, Edd n Eddy article already contains a synopsis of this movie, and as WP:NOT, this current article is basically a painfully detailed plot summary. I'd prefer this to be redir'ed to Ed, Edd n Eddy, but given the edit wars, inanity, etc, over this article, I'm going to bring it AFD so that I wider, and generally uninvolved population, can help to build some sort of consensus.

Hi, Anthony! How do you propose a whole group of pages for deletion? I have stumbled across a collection of pages that IMO can only be described as spamming. Could you take a look at this situation, and if you agree the individual subjects are not “notable” and not worthy of having a Wikipedia article apiece, could you maybe take the necessary steps to merge them and/or delete the minor ones? It seems to me they need to be looked at as a group, not as individual pages, but I don't know if there is any mechanism to do that. Here's the problem: When someone set up the article about the San Diego Trolley, in addition to the main article which is fine, they created twenty or more individual articles about individual trolley stops. Each stop is already listed on the main page, so the articles about the individual stops are redundant, and most of them are stubs. Here’s the list of pages I would propose for deletion:
And possibly also, although they contain slightly more content than the pages listed above: In addition, each of the three trolley lines has its own article: again duplicating what is at San Diego Trolley. And then to complete the spam, they created FIVE special categories for all these semi-worthless pages! And also two special templates - which in themselves were given their own category! The categories are:
I really thing this is spamming. There is no way all this stuff is "notable". A single article, San Diego Trolley, should be sufficient IMO. If you agree, can you take some action to clean house? Thanks a lot! MelanieN (talk) 02:17, 6 August 2009 (UTC)MelanieN[reply]

WP:NSONG tells us three things relevant to this nomination. First, "[m]ost songs do not rise to notability for an independent article and should redirect to another relevant article." Second, songs must must the requirements of WP:GNG, although placement on "national or significant music charts ... [or winning] significant awards or honors" establishes a presumption of notability. And third, even if a song is notable, it should only be treated in a separate article "when there is enough verifiable material to warrant a reasonably detailed article...." I like Dream Theater, but our articles on their singles catalog don't meet WP:NSONG's standards for separate articles. Notability is dubious for most, and their content appears to be a mixture of incidental or trivial details about the song, its video, and its release (we learn from Lie, for instance, that the pickups on the guitar played by John Petrucci in the video are green), descriptions of the song's musical structure (Home and Constant Motion, for instance, tell us about various time signature changes in the songs; readers who know what that means already know about it from listening to the songs, and anyone who doesn't know what it means is unlikely to care), and fancruft (according to Pull Me Under, a poster on the band's drummer's forum "recently stated that the [song's] abrupt ending was inspired by I Want You (She's So Heavy), a track from The Beatles" (internal quotation marks omitted)).

Those could probably be added to the list here as well, but the said songs that charted should be kept. blackngold29 15:42, 6 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This thing of deleting articles everywhere makes me sick. I think they should stay where they are, and where they always have been. In Lie, for example, we all know that the pickups are green, but I didn't know it was the Steve Vai signature guitar, a guitar Petrucci never played live, but used only in that video clip. The different time signatures in Constant Motion is something that helps people trying to play the song theirselves. I like Wikipedia because we can always find information about the entire discography of a band, information about the creation process of the songs, CD cover arts... It's a complete source of information. I vote to keep everything the way it is, and if someone isn't happy with the content of the articles, then try to complete it! --Rodolfostanic (talk) 18:13, 7 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
CD Release Surely it is useful to include any Singles which were given a direct single release or EP of their own, rather than just a promo release. "Another Day", "Lie", "The Silent Man", "Hollow Years", "Through Her Eyes" and "Forsaken" fall into this category. "Rite of Passage" and "Constant Motion" are more dubious as they do have quite widespread promo CD circulation but are not official CD singles, only radio/video/digital. http://www.dreamtheater.net/disco_dreamtheater.php confirms this for older singles by only mentioning those with official CD releases, though for some reason Forsaken EP is not mentioned. As an EP, though, it surely warrants an article as much as "Change of Seasons" does. Information on song construction and video (green pickups!) is probably not useful but surely information on track listings and edits and suchlike are useful for catalogueing one's music. Encyclopedia Metallum (http://www.metal-archives.com/) contains track info (all that is needed for the articles I think) on not only the commercial singles but also the promotional. This article does, on a related note, also contain info on the ytsejam official bootlegs, which together with information from www.ytsejamrecords.com could surely produce a few useful articles on said official bootlegs. www.dreamtheater.net could do the same along with www.metal-archives.com for the Christmas CDs. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Athlon Duster (talk • contribs) 14:52, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

People should create some more useful articles theirselves instead of discussing what articles are "appropriate for deletion" or not. For all the articles cited here, there is significant coverage, most of them ranked on music charts, and there is enough material to make detailed articles. The articles are so detailed that we even know what guitar Petrucci used for the Lie video, and the color of the pickups. Reading Another Day, we can learn that the lyrics are about Petrucci's father. In Take The Time, using the information about the samples at the beggining of the song, I edited myself a very similar intro, so that I can use during my live performances of the song as a keyboard player. This kind of information is useful to the fans, and these articles don't infringe any rules of WP:NSONGS. I don't see why they should be deleted.--Rodolfostanic (talk) 18:35, 9 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

A misnomer for a very real phenomenon. There is no doubt that this sort of thing has gone on, recently and otherwise. However, I can find no evidence of camps that are specifically for rape, the entry itself says that this goes on in "a detention facility such as a P.O.W. camp." The sources cited also lend credence to the view that "rape camp" is a name for a phenomenon, not actual camps: one of the articles uses the term in scare quotes, another calls them "rape/death camps", a third refers to a village as a rape camp, and the "Nazi Exploitation Cinema" source is evidence only of an idea. The Bosnian war era concentration camps cited have the same issues. Keraterm camp, for example, was a camp only for men. It existed for 3 years; only in a brief period in July of 1992 were women brought there and abused. Again, it is not my intention to deny any history. The problem with this entry is not that these things didn't happen, but that the term "rape camp" is a misnomer. There have been rapes, but there is no record of a camp specifically for rape. Perhaps this is too pedandtic a point for such a tragic topic. The entry is also largely redundant to the title (in that it says little more than "rape camps are camps where rapes happen"). Suggest deletion or redirect to War rape or perhaps Rape in the Bosnian War. Barring that, a complete rewrite is necessary. Hairhorn (talk) 14:43, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The fact alone that you admitted that it was an idea is enough for this stub to stay. Maybe as some sort of linguistics stub, but one that exists to be read. Simply because something doesn't exist in real life doesn't mean that it doesn't deserve a Wikipedia article. The Starship Enterprise doesn't actually exist, but it has its own page. And rape camps do exist. It's difficult to find evidence of a place used exclusively for rape if you don't even look, but Partizan Hall, in Foca, was used exclusively for rape of Bosnian women by Serbian authorities. Afterward, it was the first war crimes case based solely on charges of sexual violence. But by your strict definition, it doesn't count since it was originally a sports center. It wasn't built for rape, so it must not count. Rape camps usually start off as a benign place and then get taken over by war criminals who get drunk on power and stoop to mass, systematic rape. Rape camps can also be other kinds of camps simultaneously, just as a shoe store can sell socks. Just because your definition of a rape camp is too narrow doesn't mean that mine is a misnomer. Just saying that it is a misnomer doesn't mean much, since I provided evidence, books and links, not just my word. You brought up Keraterm Camp as a place where women weren't abused long enough, and also housed men. How long do people have to be raped before it qualifies? If the rape camp in question is also a barn that houses farm animals, does it still qualify? You're not going to erase the term "rape camps" from society by narrowing the definition until it can't be found in real life. Next, you'll say something to the effect of, "Well, such-and-such place wasn't a rape camp if the women didn't actually sleep there since 'camp' means that they spent the night (also, if you do use this, remember that a "day camp" is like a summer camp, but kids go there only during the day, and don't sleep there). If a house is infested with cockroaches, but also has some spiders in there, that doesn't mean that any roach-based nickname given to the house doesn't apply. Personally, I think that I was wrong with how strict I was with my definition. I think that it should be changed to any place where mass rape happens. It should include places like the Ng / Lake cabin where women were raped after the women's families were killed. It should be broader than war crimes, it should include places where a serial rapist operates. "(Fill-in-the-name) used the hotel as his own, personal rape camp." Saying that the definition is a misnomer is the strongest of the flimsy reasons to delete this article, which says a lot since it's still very weak. If the stub is flawed, improve it. Don't delete it. Wikipedia is a community project. The idea to merge this with "war rape" is unacceptable if the definition goes beyond war. Also, why merge it if it's not only a separate thing, but also a thing that you think doesn't exist? Why not move it over to the "exploitation films" entry? Also, why merge it only with the "Bosnian rape" entry when it obviously happens elsewhere, if it exists and you don't believe that it does? Obviously, there is some sort of other logic going on here, where you think that rape happens, but rape camps do not. I'm guessing this deletion request is fueled by some anti-feminist ideology, but that's just a wild guess. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Doubledragons (talk • contribs) 02:57, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That someone exists and has published books and articles is by consensus not reason enough by itself to have a standalone article on Wikiipedia. No prejudice against someone writing up this article with reliable sources to indicate the person's notability. SilkTork *YES! 13:51, 14 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Christopher Sweeney
fails WP:BIO and WP:AUTHOR (as a journalist and author). yes I can verify that he worked at the ABC and that he works at Macquarie Bank but there is a lack of third party coverage about this individual [28]. article has existed unreferenced for over 2 years...is this due to a lack of coverage?

Non-notable music group that appears to fail WP:MUSICBIO. The subject has not received substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources. ttonyb1 (talk) 03:41, 16 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete I did some searching around, and information was easy to find about this group. However, they are not widely known like a household name. They do have many achievements that make them worthy of mention, but I am not sure if Wikipedia is the right place to do so. It doesn't quite have encyclopedic merits to be on here. Mlh56880 (talk) 04:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Group does not meet WP:MUSICBIO standards. They dont seem to have been covered by multiple reilable sources, charted anywhere, or been signed to a major label. Furthermore it appears that the only functional reference present is to the bands own page so they seem to fail the broader wikipedia rule of verifiablity.

The result was delete. No defense of the article after over 2 weeks. The orig. ed. was notified, and is active at WP, but hasn't defended. Time to finish. DGG ( talk ) 06:10, 16 August 2009 (UTC)[reply] Paul Masterman
Non-notable consultant specialist, though the article doesn't meet WP:BIO and WP:N. It doesn't meet the guidelines. ApprenticeFan talk contribs 04:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Article about a non-notable doctor mostly written by his son Shivam Parikh (Indiahn (talk · contribs)). All the claims to fame in the article are common to all doctors in the world and there is nothing that really distinguishes this doctor from others. Just writing articles in journals (which tons of doctors do) or meeting important people does not make him famous. The one award which seems important (the award from the Cardiology Association) is given to literally dozens of doctors every year. See this list of 2008 awardees. So the article must be deleted.

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&term="Parikh%20KH"[Author] with only 6 entires but obviously subject to distortion etc. I don't have any easy way to tell if 1 of these papers was cited 1000's of times etc. I guess I'd think weak keep if you can find reliable Indian sources to something other than hard-core research accomplishments. One recent paper does claim to be first in man, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19527978?ordinalpos=4&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_DefaultReportPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum . It is too new to have gotten a lot of citations but maybe this was mentioned in popular press somewhere. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 10:38, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
the above comments. I would mention that citation counts for my papers (LOL) seem to be low when happen to see them in various places. I only say that because looking through Scirus, I find many citations over the years. These tend to be in specialty low-impact journals but citing authors tend to be at reputable institutions. fwiw.Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 20:46, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Not a notable journalist. Article references are mostly not about this person, with the exception of [29] which appears to be a blog, not a reliable source. My own search did not find anything any better. Apparent autobiography. Beeblebrox (talk) 06:24, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

An unreferenced article about anon-notable basketball player. The subject is not included in the 36ers squad in either the Wikipedia article or the club official website. Even if it could proved that the subject was part of the 36ers squad, he still does not meet WP:ATHLETE in so far that he has not played a game in a fully professional competition.

Only notable thing about this band is that, according to the article, two of its members won Emmys. Since winning an Emmy makes one notable, that means this band has two notable members, and is therefore itself notable, according to WP:MUSIC. Which is fine, but... I can't actually find any evidence that these guys won Emmys. The only references are to small newspapers, not online. Searching for the members' names or the show name at the Emmy Award Search Site brings up nothing; I can't find anything in the New York Times about it; the IMDB page for "Farmboy" lists no awards. Unless somebody can point to some verifiable evidence that they won Emmys, I think this should be deleted. —Chowbok ☠ 18:29, 30 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable character. Only appears in a technical manual, but is never in any of the televisions series, films, OVAs, or novels. The assertion that this character appeared in an episode of Gundam Evolved is purely based on fan speculation and is not based on any reliable source. Has no affect on the series's plot line.
