- Keep What is trafficking? Is it forced prostitution? Drug smuggling? Gun running? Yes and no. It’s a term increasingly used but often to one thing or another. The term is not widely understood. For example, people trafficking is not the same a people smuggling. --Chwyatt

Peluca is just a short film that has no potential of becoming a full article and it is just a stub.
- Redirect and merge to Napoleon Dynamite. --SuperDude 22:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Being a short film is not a grounds for deletion, we have others, and this one is certainly notable, spawning that movie. Keep. CanadianCaesar 22:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree. I learned something by visiting this page, and that in itself should call for retension. KeeP. [Bencejoful] 10:49, 4 August 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was No consensus, so keep --Allen3 talk 10:04, August 6, 2005 (UTC)
Hopelessly POV article, laid out in an inappropriate, unencyclopedic US vs. THEM style. Subject is already addressed at Homosexuality and Christianity, Homosexuality and Judaism, and numerous other locations.

- Comment: Can't merge with Homosexuality and Christianity because the size of the article is already large. . This article was already a section from Homosexuality and Christianity, so the topics are not the same.
- It is a WE vs. THEM article because both sides use the bible to justify their views and as long as each "we" and "them" are sourced, it is not POV. --Vizcarra 01:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and cleanup. Decidedly different in subject matter from Homosexuality and Christianity & Homosexuality and Judaism, as those two articles deal with attitudes towards homosexuality in the religions in general, whereas The Bible and homosexuality deals specifically with that book. Some interesting information, but needs a POV overhaul, as mentioned by others above. Fernando Rizo T/C 16:25, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and cleanup Flcelloguy | A note? | Desk 16:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Duplicate material is either for deletion or redirection. I have serious trouble with the very idea, however, of The Bible and homosexuality, as it implies that the Bible as a whole can be said to have a view on "homosexuality," which is a 19th century cultural construction. Further, everything in this is "uses of the Bible by proponents and opponents of homosexual intercourse." If no passage in the Bible says "homosexual," and none does, then everything is interpretation, and therefore the subject is really "what people say is sanctioned by passages in the Bible." Geogre 17:10, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: The term homosexual does not exist in the Bible, but it does reference homosexuals ith both the Old Testament and the New Testament (as the article explains). The fact that you an educated man think that the Bible does not refer to homosexuality whenit does explains the need for the article. However, condemnation is up to interpretation, I agree. But it cannot be denied how big of an issue it is with governments allowing gay marriages and religious groups condemning it because it is unnatural according to the Bible. There is a need for an article that discusses (or at least lists) the verses of the Bible they refer to. Otherwise the Homosexuality and Christianity, Homosexuality and Judaism, the godhatesfags.com articles (and several others) should be removed as well.
- I largely agree with Geogre, but I still think that, since many people believe the bible discusses this topic it merits an article. That article, I think, should include the fact that the whole discussion is comparing ancient writings with a modern day cultural construct. I don't think that fact invalidates the article though. As the unsigned person says this is debated even at the governmental level, and providing a resource to help people more intelligently discuss the topic is valid in my opinion. I am not retracting my statement that the article needs a complete rewrite though. cohesion | talk 18:53, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Well, my point is that same-sex sexual acts are discussed, somewhat, in the Bible, but it takes interpretation to even make that so. On the other hand, "homosexuality" is a construct (the idea of a life-long same-sex pairing) and derives largely from a clinical setting. We're dealing with apples and shotguns, here. It's quite true that governments and shrill folks are speaking of The Bible as having something to say on the issue, but, honestly, I see that as addressed elsewhere already. E.g. the fundamentalist attack on homosexuality is discussed in the Christianity and article, while Judaic disquiet is in that article. I.e. the "what they say about them" is already covered in the various 'they' articles. Other than that, there really isn't a need to offer up a prescriptive group of prooftexts for folks. Geogre 20:45, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The point of this article is not "what they say about them" but "what the bible says about them" which has affected how christians (and societies of christian majorities and even organizations like "the boy scouts") think of homosexuality (and same-sex marriage, and adoption by homosexuals, etc.). This article is supposed to be a collection of the verses that talk about same-sex relationship (whether they are sexual or long-term non-sexual). Christians are being accused everywhere of bigotry when the Bible itself talks about same-sex relationships. Homosexuals are attacked everywhere when the Bible may not even condemn explicitly their relationships. This article is supposed to show the foundation of the positions. --Vizcarra 21:04, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep and cleanup for reasons already listed. --Idont Havaname 19:09, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Obviously valid topic, somewhat different from main article, and balanced, even if not in standard format. CanadianCaesar 20:23, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Merge if needed, but in it's current form very little is encyclopedic - and if people want to know the underlying question (does the Bible condemn homosexuals), they should 'read the Bible'. Wikipedia is not a priest. -- RyanFreisling @ 20:57, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. extremely NPOV nearly completely unreferenced and already covered, I don't think it is worth cleaning up. Pandaman
- Keep This is a break out article, and should neither be deleted nor, due to its size, should it be merged. CalJW 21:09, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - POV essay; topic presented in an unnacceptable manner, it tries to break down the issue as pro-gay or anti-gay. (hate edit conflicts) -- Joolz 21:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- A horrible article, for all the above reasons. However it seems to have been spun off from Homsexuality and Christianity, presumaby to keep the size down, and certainly there needs to be some coverage of this subject. So 'keep, with enormous misgivings, and please cleanup. DJ Clayworth 21:31, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is just a bad essay. — Trilobite (Talk) 23:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as per Geogre. Also, even with "two sides" represented 50-50, the article will still violate NPOV by its representation of this issue as a simple dichotomy, presenting an "Anti-homosexual view" and a "Pro-homosexual view". / Alarm 23:52, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- If you think that there are more than two views, then I suggest that you add them to the article in separate sections. --Idont Havaname 03:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. POV fork. Also as per Geogre. JFW | T@lk 23:59, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete. Poorly-written article whose material is covered elsewhere in WP. Giddytrace 00:02, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- We can't merge and delete, as it violates the GFDL. Merging requires we keep the redirect. -Splash 00:25, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This smells of being a POV fork. -Splash 00:25, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Represents pro & anti POV reasonably fairly. Geogre is wrong to say the Bible has no view, and it is clearly an important and topical issue. I am somewhat sympathetic to saying it is a false dichotomy, but it is a useful presentation that should be cleaned up, not deleted. --CJeynes62.252.0.4 00:43, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It needs a much expanded introduction, explaining that these are all modern arguments, and it probably needs a new title as well—something like "The Bible and homosexuality—modern views" or some such title, with the current title remaining as a redirect. Each of the sections also should be further expanded, but this being a Wiki, that will happen with time. BlankVerse ∅ 15:35, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- weak keep but really needs merge or vast rewrite. Yeah, I'm feeling bi today. The idea here is OK, it could be informative, but boy!(girl?) are there problems. What is "pro homosexual" anyway? The article shouldn't be just quotes or weak statements: Bobo X:11 says "men screwing men is bad!" "No it's not." There need to be actual quotes from biblical scholars (not politicians) saying "this passage condemns this behavior" or "this passage has been misinterpreted to push discrimination." Wish I had the balls...uh, guts...to wade deeply into this mess. DavidH 23:14, July 29, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep and expand An important article that can serve everyone's ends. The pros and the cons have their say, and those in-between get mightily informed. I scanned it briefly and found it very interesting, even enlightening. I have no problem with the pro-and-con layout, I think it works very well. For those who think it is too polarized, perhaps we can add a neutral viewpoint which may, in time, emerge as the backbone of the article. So, fix, but under no circumstances delete. Haiduc 01:14, 30 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong Delete. I did considerable amounts of work on Christian views on homosexuality, while it was still alive. To be honest, now that I've grown up a bit, I think it's a bit wasteful. Wikipedia is a place to get information. It's not a place to get converted, it's not a place to listen to the latest arguments for or agaist a certain Christian point, et cetera. The topic is almost never given proper citations and references, and, largely, they are the opinions of Wikipedia users. Wikipedia should not be cataloging all of the scripture used to make a point or not to make a point; it should link to the people making the points. They can cite their own scripture, and do their own apologetics, however they please. If this page remains, I would like to see it reduced to a list of citations, possibly with included text, with each quote followed by a link to a non-wikipedia site, and that's it. Since there's no consensus, Wikipedia shouldn't jump to conclusions, and Wikipedia definitely need not present the arguments that prevent a consensus. 128.253.110.167 03:02, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong delete - it's a POV fork of Christian views on homosexuality. Merge any useful material (virtually none IMO) into that article. Insofar as useful discussion of individual passages takes too much space for that article, create individual articles, as already is the case for Leviticus 18. Rd232 16:59, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Strong keep and cleanup. The POV problems can be fixed. This is encyclopedic and noteworthy: these issues constitute a huge amount of the public debate on the subject. This is the sort of information that needs to be in Wikipedia. Nightwatch/respond 22:14, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, advertisement.Weak delete. One might consider that this is a "television show" (or a "special") on the QVC channel, and that television shows are notable and encyclopedic. However, in its current state it is advertising, and reads like it. I'm not sure that anyone (besides those with a ve$ted intere$t in the program) would go to the trouble to rewrite this. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 05:09, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- More advertising from QVC. However, the introductory bit about the discovery of silver at Creede, Colorado seems to be lacking at the page on the town, although apparently fundamental to its existence, and Nicholas C. Creede would also be worth an article (see [1].)
Move this to Talk:Creede, Colorado, remove the ad part (=most of the article) and merge the rest with Creede, Colorado.--Uppland 05:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Nah, changed my mind... we might as well get rid of this completely along with the rest of the QVC garbage posted by User:Denim&Co., and hope somebody else will add the silver mining history of Creede from better sources.

I should note that a Google search for "Magdoff", "Venona" and "Kant" (Magdoff's supposed Venona secret spy name) yields four results currently. One is Wikipedia. One is a white supremacist site. One is John Earl Haynes web site - Haynes is a far right author who makes accusations of Soviet espionage by name of hundreds of US Democrats and liberals, never mind people to the left of them. As I said - a Google search turns this up as the fringiest of fringe things, yet they want to fill up three quarters of Magdoff's article with these fringe accusations that he is a Soviet spy. I should note User:Nobs01 is editing the Wikipedia articles for half of the liberals and Democrats in the early/mid twentieth century and accusing them of being spies. Keep this article, Nobs01's fringe conspiracy theories do not deserve to take up 1/2 to 3/4 of Harry Magdoff's article. Ruy Lopez 02:12, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, but renameDithering. This material is way too lengthy to put in the Magdoff article; if he was a source, it was a relatively minor episode in his overall career, and putting all this stuff in his article is poor stylistically - it needs to be in a separate article. (I would suggest something like Harry Magdoff spying controversy.) It has to be covered at length, alas, because this whole issue of whether or not Magdoff was a source for the Golos network is apparently a bete noire for those on the left, which has resulted in this becoming a big go-round. It seems that to simply say "he was a source" is deemed unacceptable (although all reputable historians of the period of whom I am aware now agree he was one), but the inclusion of material from offical archives, excerpts from sworn legal depositions, etc is harder to question, so that has become the default path. As such, it's necessary to extensively cite all the relevant documents (VENONA decrypts, Comintern archives, etc), and as I explained, that sort of lengthy material is not appropriate for his main article. Noel (talk) 19:58, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Now that I think about it, whether this page is encyclopaedic, well, I'm somewhat dubious - it's really a bit too detailed; this is really devolving into a level of detail where it's more like a journal article on the issue at this point, giving all the original sources - not really encyclopaedic. On the other hand, given lack of a consensus to say in the main article what contemporary secondary sources say flatly (that he was a "source"), I don't know what to do. Noel (talk) 16:28, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, I totally agree that the main article should indicate that several published sources stat flatly that Magdoff was used as a source of information by the KGB, as long as there is also text that explores the dispute over what that actually means. For too long the large amount of text and illusrations were designed to imply that Magdoff was a Soviet spy. That was just unfair.--Cberlet 16:47, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep until dispute settled Well researched article and should not even be called 'conspiracy allegations', but 'espionage allegations'. A good title would be 'Harry Magdoff - Espionage Allegations'. I wouldn't call it a controversy until we have another side to the issue. It simply documents the allegations based on solid secondary research. In any case, the article is convoluted and off-topic as I see it with the main article and so it probably should not be merged with the main article unless consensus says otherwise.

- Delete. Set aside the issue of the slang in the title, the intro even says such romances are "ubiquitous" in pre-1950s movies... which makes the list nigh unmaintainable. Beyond that, there's the issue of "What positive contribution does this make to Wikipedia?" I believe the answer to that question is "none." The Literate Engineer 05:21, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep This type of list entry is of considerable value to screenwriters, aspiring screenwriters, critical theory students, film buffs, etc. The entry, however, could use some work, both in content and formatting. As far as "positive contributions to Wikipedia" -- Wiki is a reference tool. Wiki has at least 162 movie list entries, based on the category link in the article. How is this list entry less relevant than the other 161 film-list entries? David Hoag 05:32, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I don't believe any of the 162 film-list entries make a positive contribution. 162 articles that actually said something about 162 categorizations of movies would be a positive contribution. 162 lists, though, are just 162 wastes of server space. The Literate Engineer 06:05, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I disagree. Lists like this are valuable to film professionals. Comparative archetypes are very valuable, but it can take a long time to create such lists. There are actually books of "movie lists" used by film writers; however, those books are quickly outdated. A list of romantic comedies, for example, is arguably of greater value than a list of Oscar-winners. The latter is simply a laundry list. Wiki has episode lists for many popular television shows. Are they worthless or valuable? Wiki has lists of first basemen. Shortstops. Name the position in sports and there's a Wiki list for them. Is that worthless or valuable. Just because something may not be of interest or value to you doesn't mean it's not of value to someone else. I could care less about seeing a list of forty famous shortstops; however, that doesn't render the list of no value. David Hoag 06:27, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: For my part, I can't believe the eagerness of my learned friend Kappa (two votes above) to look on the bright side of any article. Look, if we're going to have an article like this with a metaphorical title, the need for an immediate explanation of that title should ring alarm bells -- a metaphor should help explanation, no? But OK, let's not argue against the notion of a year-cycle metaphor (or complain of "hemispherism"), but instead examine how it's applied. December: this isn't the coldest month in the northern hemisphere, but it's the one with the winter solstice, and all the leaves have been shed by many trees. When I think of a May-December romance, I think of the pneumatic Anna Nicole Smith and her wizened nonagenarian (Image:Anna_Nicole_and_hubby.JPG). In movie terms, I'll stretch that a bit and count Harold and Maude. But Roman Holiday? I suggest that one important issue might be whether the age difference is one that raises eyebrows (or worse) within the fantasy world of the movie itself: by contrast, when we coolly consider Cary Grant's late films, his successes with the chicks may seem somewhat surprising, but within the films, they don't. Lists of the usual are impossibly big; this must list the unusual. So what's the unusual factor here: age differences that raise other characters' hackles within the movies, or age differences that improbably don't even raise eyebrows within the movies, or something else again? At this point, I'm inclined to vote "delete", but I'd be happy to see and vote to keep a carefully rethought list. -- Hoary 10:25, July 27, 2005 (UTC)

Why inherently POV? Well, if I date a woman 10 years my junior, and I'm 40, is that May-December? What if it's 20 years, and I'm 50? What if it's 20, and I'm 30? At what point is this a May-December relationship? The metaphor refers to death's-edge and youth's-bloom (i.e. Harold and Maude), and yet the list gleefully flops all over.

- Comment re name. Googling to see if I could find the origin of the phrase "May-December," I found www.maydecember.net, a "dating service for individuals seeking age-gap relationships." The home page shows... what would you say? A man in his seventies and a woman in her fifties? The slogan is (gack) "Years apart, coming together." Well, the Internet is always educational. So should this be moved to List of movies featuring age-gap relationships? You know, I don't believe I want to sign this comment... Not me, no way 02:05, 28 July 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: arguably "May-December romances" is more in the common vernacular than "age-gap relationships." The latter sounds like a rather contortionistic euphemism. David Hoag 15:25, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, wikipedia is not toilet paper. And I thought from the title that a "May-December romance" meant a romance that lasted 8 months.

- Delete: User:Jni is right: it can be mentioned in the list of winners, after an article on the award exists. This article for its own sake is not needed, as the animation's low Google hit count shows that, at least at this point, it has not proven very influential, successful, or unusual. We don't assess the value of the comic; we report on things the rest of the world has assessed for us. Geogre 21:17, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Well the point is that the world has assessed something for us. The animation won two prizes in a prestigious national competition. That it didn't go on to sweep the internet is immaterial. To set internet success as a criterion is like moving the goalposts. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:33, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak keep, until we get an ATOM Award article, then merge. -Splash 00:35, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as the awards are not "a prestigious national competition". ATOM is an acronym for "Australian Teachers of Media", and usually less than 1000 people enter. The very grand sounding "Australian Centre for the Moving Image" also functions as a hothouse for experimental and contemporary art. Thus while ACMI does host some notable works, merely being given an award inside it does not make you notable. Considering the very high internet profile that works of this type have, the fact that it didn't "sweep the internet" is material. If and when these young men make some larger mark, this can go into their article under "First Steps". Until then (despite it being someone's pet project) it is not encyclopedic. brenneman(t)(c) 13:25, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. That is very misleading. While it is organised by Australian Teachers of Media and has a strong focus on education, ATOM awards are also awarded to, and are prized by, the Australian independent media [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]. I am not sure what "Australian Centre for the Moving Image" also functions as a hothouse for experimental and contemporary art is supposed to mean, but perhaps it is an attempt to argue that experimental and contemporary art lack notability and by extension an organisation holding its awards ceremony here is in some way a lesser one for that. You say that it's significant that a work by two twelve-year olds didn't "sweep the internet." Were this the case then there would be no way of judging the excellence of the work of younger people, which cannot possibly compete against the work of more experienced, more capable adults. This is precisely the kind of problem that awards such as the ATOMs exist to remedy. The same panel that judges the general documentary categories also judges the K-8 categories. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 18:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Irritated Comment Yes, misleading indeed. Misleading to juxtapose the location of the award (the "very prestigious affair at [ACMI]") with the prominence of the award itself. Misleading to provide a list of links that fails to demonstrate the prominence of the award. Misleading to spin a statement of fact into a slag of contemprary art in an attempt to discredit. I am very disappointed.
brenneman(t)(c) 23:51, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- I'm totally mystified. I don't understand your response but you're clearly yupset. I apologise for this, it was inadvertent.
- I do happen to believe that the prestige of an award-giving ceremony is good evidence of the prominence of the award--your opinion may differ on that but this doesn't mean people who do not share your opinion are intentionally misleading anyone.
- I said I didn't know why you mentioned that ACMI promoted contemporary and experimental art, and I meant it. What is the relevance of this? I hazarded a guess and got it wrong and seem to have offended you--my apologies for this.
- The list of links that I gave illustrate precisely what I said, no more and no less, that: "While it is organised by Australian Teachers of Media and has a strong focus on education, ATOM awards are also awarded to, and are prized by, the Australian independent media". --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:06, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Saying, "You're clearly upset" has the connotation that I am overly emotional or mentally disturbed. I have respect for "people who do not share [my] opinion". Please:
- Demonstrate that the presentation was a very prestigious affair.
- Demonstrate that this is a prestigious national competition.
- Demonstrate that the award is prized by the Australian independent media.
- I'm totally mystified. I don't understand your response but you're clearly yupset. I apologise for this, it was inadvertent.
- Because these are the claims. To date the facts presented are:
- That the awards this year were presented at ACMI.
- That this is a national competition.
- That people who win or are nominated note it on their websites.
- Please see: Google:prestigious "ATOM awards".
Nearly all these links are by people who have won the award. I examined every link in the first four pages and found exactly one that was from an unbiased party.

I read a few years back that there were about 16,000 people with the name Moran. These would surely be unhappy to see that their name only means "moron" in wikipedia. The name is an english adaptation to several Irish names similar O'Moran, Morrigan, Mograine, and similar names. One family Moran was mentioned in Sherlock Holmes "The hound of Basqerville"). The family arms is a black background with three stars, and the motto is "Lucent in Tenebris", which might roughly translated to "A shining light in the darkness".
I do not know if such a short description as above might be a suitable replacement. If yes, then replace it, if not, then please delete.
I just googled the word "Moran" and got about 5 million hits. The first page , at least, was from people with the name, starting with congressman Jim Moran.
DanielDemaret 00:25, 18 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've been meaning to replace this page with a history of the Moran family surname.. I wasn't sure whether the "moron" misspelling was worth splitting into a seperate disambugation page with Moran_(Surname) and Moran_(intentional_misspelling) or something like that. I completely missed that 'famous' photo and the "sub-moronic" that followed. But in a short time, nobody will even remember it and that picture link is broken anyway. I vote we get rid of it entirely and create a surname page. But since my last name is Moran, I might be biased on it. :)
By the way, "Lucent in Tenebris" more accurately translates to "They shine in darkness".

Delete : Mundane topic. Should be part of some larger article if authors find that it should be wiki-relevant.
- keep I can see the argument for merging into wiktionary:mundane or perhaps into Babylon 5. Though with respect User:Xtreambar, merging is not the same as deletion. On the other hand, I think the discussion of the derogatory use of the word is outside the scope of wiktionary and it is worthy of splitting from Babylon 5. MGSpiller 00:32, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Keep It would be preferable to keep the expression as a separate article, but with primary mention of its older fannish usage (from science fiction fandom), with linkage to Babylon 5 only in recognition that the television series derived the usage from SF fandom.

WeakKeep If you check the history I even put a vfd but then removed it after some research. A search of Koushik "Be With" returns enough results and reviews in notable media like Pitchfork Media. The reason the full name doesn't get a lot of results is because that isn't his recording name.

Article is really about "Burlap Body Boy" chain email, which by itself is not notable.-- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 05:56, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Reply to User Bmicomp:
I created this page. I am impressed that you read it so quickly, but not with your analysis of the page, which is not fairminded. I would note that any attempt to write anything serious and complete about spam cannot help but also contain examples of it. To criticise the article solely on that basis (that it has spam in it), is quite simplistic and inconsequential.
So I disagree with your opinion about what the article is really about. The article is not about "burlap body boy" specifically , but about Humorous chain emails, as a distinct type of chain email. The main part of the page is a discussion of what exactly is a humourous chain email, and how it distinguishes itself from other types of chain emails. I will admit that the page is as yet incomplete, and perhaps not even very good. The discussion could go deeper, and contain other points common to such emails, perhaps with other example (which undoubtedly will spur more ire from certain users). It would be fair minded Criticize the page on THOSE MERITS.
Certainly many types of chain emails (humorous, fake charity scams, etc) can be categorized and described, and this endeavour is exactly what this very site is for. They are a part of the culture of the internet.
The Burlap body boy was used only as an example of this type of email because it illustrates (as described on the page) the salient characteristics of such emails. Which are that it is a humorous story, which asks to be forwarded, and part of its humour is derived from the attempts within the story itself to forward it. I vote to Keep the page, and Improve it -- CRF (page creator). 27 July, 2005 207.216.12.220 07:11, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete/Merge. Chain letters are a valid topic, but it seems there's already an article about them. I suppose someone (CRF perhaps?) could attempt to merge the content in with that article, although quoting the entirety of the "burlap body boy" email is probably a bit much. I mean, it's bad enough I have to wade through that stuff in my inbox, much less here... --Alan Au 07:13, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It is apt to bring the Chain letters page into the discussion, for I had not known about it. However, after reading it, I am not yet inclined to think merging the Humorous Chain Email page into that page would be wise. This particular subject (humorous chain mail) is very well defined and contained as a subset of the chain letter, and as such, is best on a separate page, in my opinion. A link from the Chain letters page, to this new one, could even be considered.
The point that it is a 'bit much' to quote the entire story is valid I suppose. But the analysis on the page would suffer if the links were completely external. Also, any external links could not (will likely not) remain valid. Therefore, it made sense to me, in the absence of my knowing of a persistent, reliable copy of this story (and, perhaps, examples of its evolution) being available, that I would quote it in its entirety. One might argue that "Burlap Body Boy" could have a page on its own in the wiki, so as to have some reliable record of its existance, and so avoid the need to quote it extensively -- but I really don't think -that- is necessary. I cannot think of another wiki page where "burlap Body Boy" would be mentioned, let alone need to be quoted.
There seems to be, in the other two commenters, a small bias against any inclusion of what could be considered spam, almost as if it were an automatically conditioned response (for example, the good-humoured joke from the ?moderator?, alan au, about again reading Burlap Boy in an email summary). This is not an unwise bias to have to be sure, but I hope I am not being rude by suggesting that it is necessary to temper it on some occasions. I truly mean no disrespect by creating this topic, on an admitedly disagreeable subject. CRF 207.216.12.220 07:45, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. This is not encyclopedic. Nandesuka 10:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge anything useful into Chain email, but leave out the body of the email. If you really want a reliable link to it, copy it to Wikisource. android79 12:18, July 27, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Not notable. --Scimitar parley 14:08, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete really nothing here that isn't already in chain email; one sentence there that says something along the lines of "chain emails sometimes contain jokes" would do the job. CDC (talk) 15:38, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have now edited the page. I placed the body of the Burlap Body Boy Email on Wikisource, as suggested by Android79. This is useful, as this page is not meant as a discussion on solely that particular email, but a discussion upon the well defined characteristics of such emails as Burlap Body Boy.
I do disagree with CDC that there is nothing here that is not in chain email, and, as anyone can note by reading the page, its subject is beyond the simplistic "chain emails sometimes contain jokes" -- everyone can infer that. This is like saying language contains jokes, therefore, all discussions of jokes belong on the language wiki page. It is not wrong to say that jokes belong in the language category, but it would be very inconvenient to place jokes, and everything else to do with language, on language's wiki page. Thus we categorize jokes into its own page, and furthermore, we subdivide jokes into categories that have their own pages (etc). That is the purpose of an encyclopedia. I agree that at some point a subject will become trivial or so small that it doesn't warrant its own page (at least, at that time of consideration). But on this point of contention, I think this page deserves to stay separate, as opposed its being merged into existing pages, where the subteties (albeit, disagreable for some people to discuss) will likely be lost.
I disagree with user Scimitar's cryptic not notable designation. If that is supposed to be a comment upon the subject matter itself, I appreciate his opinion, but ask that he consider the possibility that others might find the subject (humorous chain emails) notable, well defined, and worthy of comment and discussion on their own. Scimitar should explain himself further, perhaps by directly criticizing on how I have written my definition, what is lacking in it, or why it is indistinguishable from some other entry in wikipedia, or ill-defined.
Of course, I claim it is not ill-defined, but I claim it is well defined. And I claim that is is distinguished from other wikipedia entries.
I have heard little in this discussion criticizing my article on those points, which are some valid points upon which to place criticism.
I note again, this type of email is part of our culture. It is a well defined category within chain emails: I've not yet read what I would consider to be a well-argued opinion to the contrary. I think it is best if it had its own page, so that the subject can be elaborated upon futher.

True, thank you for reminding me. I had come accross that page before. Incidentally, there are differences between that version on snopes and that one I originally posted. Which, I suppose, is an example of how such chain letters evolve. crf 207.216.12.220 20:28, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, this is effectively a neologism, and certainly POV. There is no such terminology that can be verifiably applied to a chain email. Also, the keepability of an article is in inverse proportion to the length of comment required to defend it in VfD. -Splash 00:45, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Although this was not noted properly in the edit summary, the text at Tweed River was copy&paste moved there [9] (from Tweed River (disambiguation)) by Alan Liefting (talk · contribs).

The GFDL requires that we Keep the article.

Tweed River (disambiguation) is now simply a redirect, that could be nominated at Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, but is pretty harmless and actually helps when {{otheruses2}} and its relatives are used.

DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:22, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- 1.No, I could have put that more clearly: it wasn't deleted, but I thought there was a majority for deletion here. In fact I miscounted, it was 15d, 15k since Lucky6.9 sort-of voted twice by accident. That is still no consensus to keep, however, unlike some school VfDs. 2. Is it really that much? It might be that I just skip over them. But even so, that's less than 1% of the VfD load today. 3. I do not agree that nominating a page for deletion is necessarily biting the author, whether they are new or not. "If you do not want your writing to be edited mercilessly...do not submit it" is right there on the screen as I type. Speedying it might be biting, but I would never condone that for schools. It is useful to continue the debate precisely because there is no consensus; no harm will be done if you expect the consensus to go your way. 3.1. Articles can be written on many things that are verifiable and expandable e.g. an article about the contents of my bedroom; but those attributes alone do not make their topic encyclopedic. Particularly not in the blanket no-consideration case that is made for keeping schools. I personally consider each article I vote on on its own merits and I thus voted to keep this one. Finally, there is no point getting annoyed about this process, as some participants do, since it is evident that schools will carry on getting nominated. -Splash 04:29, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:22, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually I think there would be less consensus to deleting if some effort was being made to improve the non encyclopedic articles that are out there. Since that may not be happening, then editors who don't wish to have more low quality articles see a need to add them to a VfD. A side effect of this is to actually get articles that are nominated here improved. Those improvements are why you see so many keeps. If the articles were not improved you would likely see a consensus for delete. Vegaswikian 05:53, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, there does seem to be a systematic and ongoing effort by school-inclusionists to brings school articles up to some reasonable standard. I'm not sure about this history of this specific school, but in general it is probably a good idea to list schools on Schoolwatch for a while before nominating them for deletion, and I believe I'll add this to Wikipedia:Schools if it is not there already. Articles do not automatically and magically "grow" and improve all by themselves, but they do grow if there is a support network of interested editors for a topic category. I think doing the work on this articles is more or less the obligation of those who want Wikipedia to include these articles. Two years ago I don't think this was happening, but now it looks as if it is. I'm also tempted to say that when a school substub is not showing signs of improvement the appropriate routine might be to delete it but make it a requested article. That is, treat low-quality school substubs as article requests. Dpbsmith (talk) 12:38, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm also tempted to say that when a school substub is not showing signs of improvement the appropriate routine might be to delete it but make it a requested article. That is, treat low-quality school substubs as article requests. Dpbsmith (talk) 12:38, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Just yesterday, there was a majority to delete a school article. Progress towards consensus may be slow, but it is not completely absent. There is no reason to pretend that we cannot continue to have the debate over time. After all, isn't that how WP works? School articles are only nominated occasionally, though there has been a bit of a spate just recently.-Splash 00:58, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This is the first time I've been to a vote page. I don't like unsigned opinions. There was some duplication with the Triage page.

The (half written) article claims to be about "the most decorated enlisted soldier from the state of Maryland [who] was also the personal driver of U.S. President John F. Kennedy and right hand man of Chiang Kai Shek." Somehow, someone with such a bizarre yet kindof noteworthy career trajectory fails the google test miserably with four hits, three of which are not relevant, one of which comes back to wikipedia. The content of the page, which was created July 23rd and shortly abandoned, was written entirely by anon users, possibly the same one, with the majority of content coming from a vandal, although the IP may be shared.

This article has been tagged for speedy deletion a long time now, and I think that's because I am not the only administrator loathe to delete this as a vanity article not asserting notability.

Just a pub. The article even describes it as a "no-frills" pub.

- Keep The pub is a landmark of the Plymouth waterfront. People all over the UK instantly recognise her paintings. The size of the pub should not be relevant in making the decision to delete the article. Also, the article is about the pub itself, not about the selection of beers it serves. I thought the goal of Wikipedia was to provide a reference about little known subjects as well as well known subjects. This article could potentially provide a resource to someone who has seen the painting and has wondered whether the establishment featured in the painting actually exists. How about having this article as a stub in preparation for the main article about Beryl Cook? Pigeonshouse 18:13, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- We're voting on this pub, not her paintings. And I just looked at her paintings on her website and, man, those are ugly. More significantly I only saw one that indicated any connection with the Dolphin, and really it could have well been any pub. It doesn't even seem to me she painted the pub exactly, but she painted people who happened to be in the pub, in a somewhat generic background. The pub itself is incidental. Most paintings in the world are of real places (if not most than very many) and I'm not sure being painted by a somewhat recognized, marginally talented painter is grounds for including every such thing in an encyclopedia. This isn't exactly Giverny. -R. fiend 18:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Well for a start, whether you think her paintings are "ugly" or not is rather irrelevant. And she has painted a lot more pictures than are on the website, including the one shown in the top right of the pub's website - which is an accurate picture of the outside of the pub, and most certainly could not be "any pub". The same site has another picture of hers on the left hand side which features the landlord. I am not an expert on her paintings, but I am sure there are many others that are recognisably this particular pub. In addition, that website has reminded me that many of the Tolpuddle Martyrs were visitors - something which I think is notable MyNameIsClare talk 11:20, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm aware that my opinions of her work is irrelevent; I just really thought it bad enough that I felt I had to say something. However, these not exactly great connections to various other things seem somewhat lacking. It's not mentioned in the articles for Beryl Cook (though I have no doubts someone here will add it in the next hour or so), nor the Tolpuddle Martyrs, and there doesn't even seem to be a page yet for Bosom Pals. So these seem sort of tenuous connections to sometimes pretty minor things. I think the Bosom Pals connection might be the best reason to keep, but I'd like to see an article there before I consider that a compelling reason. -R. fiend 22:56, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Based on the following definition, I'd guess crap. Hosterweis (talk) 01:20, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
cruft: /kruhft/ [very common; back-formation from crufty] 1. n. An unpleasant substance. The dust that gathers under your bed is cruft; the TMRC Dictionary correctly noted that attacking it with a broom only produces more. 2. n. The results of shoddy construction. 3. vt. [from `hand cruft', pun on `hand craft'] To write assembler code for something normally (and better) done by a compiler (see hand-hacking). 4. n. Excess; superfluous junk; used esp. of redundant or superseded code. 5. [University of Wisconsin] n. Cruft is to hackers as gaggle is to geese; that is, at UW one properly says "a cruft of hackers".

It's an argument of enough public visibility so that it cannot be ignored.

- From original research:
- The following are examples of allowable claims, research, and views (as long as they are verifiable and sources are cited):
- listing well-known claims which have few (or possibly just one or two) adherents (e.g. Shakespearean authorship theories or Linus Pauling's advocacy of Vitamin C);
- listing notable claims which contradict established axioms, theories, or norms (e.g morphogenetic fields or conspiracy theories);
- including research that fails to provide the possibility of reproducible results (e.g. theological or philosophical theories);
- citing viewpoints that violate Occam's Razor, the principle of choosing the simplest explanation when multiple viable explanations are possible (e.g. Phlogiston, Aether).
- This appears to fit squarely within those bounds. --Unknown 16:14, 27 July 2005 (PDT)
- Keep. This is grasping at straws, clearly, but it's cited. Gazpacho 01:07, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

It should be called something like Claims of scientific foreknowledge in the Bible, or better yet, Modern Science and the Bible, which could also discuss the instances were the Bible contradicts modern science. COGDEN 23:30, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep but clean up and rename. Style is mediocre, there are not enough citations listed in the article which makes it look like original research, and the name should be changed to Claims of Biblical Scientific Foreknowledge or something similar. Overall, it's almost NPOV, but lacks citations and needs more counter-arguments for the various points. Xaa 00:45, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, although it definitly needs a cleanup and a rename along the lines COGDEN proposed. A article about contradictions between the Bible and science would also be acceptable, though I'd recommend making it a separate article, if only because having both on one page would make a very long article. -- Ritchy 29 July 2005

- Delete This is NOT original research, because by definition it must be, "...any new interpretation, analysis, or synthesis of published data, statements, concepts or ideas that, in the words of Wikipedia's founder Jimbo Wales, would amount to a 'novel narrative or historical interpretation'..." Since other fundamentalists hold this position, it is not a "new/novel interpretation". It is obviously not encyclopedic, however, as it cherrypicks material which supports a contention (persuasive), both within the Bible and within the scientific literature. This particular user, as it has been shown, has ignored the substantial proof that the OT was compiled at a much later date than he purports, and that it relied heavily upon well-established practices throughout antiquity, such as burying waste and avoiding blood. Not encyclopedia material, this would spread ignorance and confusion rather than enlighten. Only way to preserve this page is to present theories of the origin of information in the OT, and compare to synchronous information in the ancient near east, which would make this a huge page...untenable--skiddum12:19, 2 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I've been trying to clean it up and incorporate some context. I think this can be done in a reasonable compact way by simply referencing other articles. See the paragraph I added Biblical_scientific_foreknowledge#Historical_Context. Work still remains to be done to reach the higher standard and NPOV, but I still feel it's a valid pseudoscience topic.MickWest 17:46, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

re: re: alleged neologism: volume of usage of a neologism does not preclude its being such. you must prove that, according to Wikipedia's definition, as a neologism, "Biblical scientific foreknowledge" is not, " word, term, or phrase which has been recently created ("coined") —often to apply to new concepts, or to reshape older terms in newer language form. Neologisms are especially useful in identifying inventions, new phenomena, or old ideas which have taken on a new cultural context. Neologisms are by definition "new," and as such are often directly attributable to a specific individual, publication, period or event. The term "neologism" was itself coined around 1800. It can also refer to an existing word or phrase which has been assigned a new meaning." I think this title definitively falls into "reshape older terms in newer language form..."; specifically, you have repeated a neologism created by, "...They are often created by combining existing words (see compound noun and adjective) or by giving words new and unique suffixes or prefixes. Those which are portmanteaus are shortened. Neologisms can also be created through abbreviation or acronym, by intentionally rhyming with existing words, or simply through playing with sounds."

[edit]I did a search through PubMed and other sources and found some additional material. Unfortunately I have only time to put it in the Pro Bible scientific foreknowledge link section. Also, there appears to be a article which was written in medical journal in another language which I wish to have translated via friends. I also found other material which I did not want to put in the link section until I did more fact checking. Please be sure to examine the link section.
Also, if anyone speaks Italian I would appreciate any input gained from this article:

- Keep the article needs serious development, but anarchists regularly espouse normative statements of social behaviour, and suggest mechanisms to cause adjustments towards the norm: ie, law. Discussing these normative statements and mechanisms under the heading "Anarchist law" is probably most appropriate. Fifelfoo 23:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Wouldn't it be better within a larger context? The anarchism article is kind of cramped, though. --Tothebarricades 04:09, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- "The Future Society of Anarchism" or equivalent title would result in the existing edit wars being played out as a series of normative statements. There's a difference between the normative statements of anarchism that "humanity requires no government to function effectively" and "social taboos would prevent murder." The example of banishment or shunning without trial for socially abstract "crimes" is one that I consider sufficiently like "government" (in its form of mob rule) to be anti-anarchistic, yet many anarchists consider "banishment" to be a sufficient legal system. Similarly, my strong feelings about the need to be confronted with specific charges, evidenced, and evaluated by the community before social sanction take place is considered "government" by others. "Law" is probably the best heading. By the way, "Anarchist economics" was colonised by par-econon supporters, who removed the prior content (mostly about the industrial commonwealth, the example I know best). I predict that even amongst workers-movement anarchists the same would happen to a "future society" article which covered econ, law, gender, family, society, etc. Fifelfoo 04:17, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep cf. the Anarchist FAQ. -Dv 14:03, July 28, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. Not a neologism. It has been common for at least 35 years, and probably was used by Individualist Anarchists since 1870. The article should however show how it is related to the Natural law and Polycentric law. However, traditional socialist anarchists may not like it because anarcho-capitalists immediately picked up the term when they extended their free-market beliefs to a stateless conclusion. Nevertheless, both sides have used the term anarchist law. Carltonh 22:30, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This was marked for transwiki to Wiktionary, but I don't think it should be on either. It's a little fishy when there's an external link to a business website in the article.

- Delete - unmaintainable list, because advertisers use recognizable tunes for nostalgia value and various other reasons. This list would expand every time some agency uses some tune in in a commercial. Every advertising agency regard their own campaigns as noticeable - and would be in position to include themselves into WP, of course.

This page is entirely useless and an appropriate entry could be handled better by Grey Cup. I hesitated at first because they red link EVERY match on Grey Cup. Individual games are definitely NN and not encyclopedic, in this context. Mmmbeer 21:50, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
delete for the reasons Mmmbeer gives. Thryduulf 01:20, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Merge into an article about other grey cup matches, perhaps 1960-69 Grey Cup matches or 50th - 59th Grey Cup matches or something. I see nothing in this article that explains why this particular match is notable enough for an article of its own or how it can grow without the insertion of trivia. Truly notable matches where there is chance of more than two or three short paragraphs of encyclopaedic information can have break-out articles, but I don't see this match as one of them. Thryduulf 13:36, 3 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I was all fired up in disbelief for nominating a Grey Cup article until I read the "article" in question. The score is wrong (I suspect the contributor was thinking of the 54th Grey Cup) and that would have been the only encyclopedic part of the entry since the other sentence was POV.
Delete[Vote changed below] but let the red links stand since articles on the Grey Cups will be very interesting and encyclopedic and we don't need all 92 Grey Cup games on the Grey Cup page. The long and colourful history of the Grey Cup will be a long enough article on its own. DoubleBlue (Talk) 03:46, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep.

- Keep. The article in its present form is pretty poor, but the 55th Grey Cup is a topic worthy of an article.

This article should be tagged as a stub and given a chance to grow. --NormanEinstein 16:20, August 2, 2005 (UTC)

The name was based on a mistranslation by me -- it is now properly handled by a redirect from Marquess_of_Hai_Hun.
- It's a harmless rediredt, and somebody else might make that same mistranslation when searching for an article. So keep. - ulayiti (talk) 23:36, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, per above. Also, requests to delete redirects should go to Wikipedia:Redirects for deletion, since they're a kind of special case. -- Visviva 23:41, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as it is pretty unlikely that this particular mistranslation will ever occur again. To the ears of a native english speaker, "Earl of Hai Hun" suggests "Hai Hun" is a geographic place. This is not so, therefor a cautious translator would avoid this formulation. "Hai Hun" (海昏) is a derisive nickname, so a clearer translation would be "Earl Hai Hun" (without the "of"), directly translating as "Earl Ocean Confusion". So if we want to keep as a redirect, I suggest renaming it to "Earl Hai Hun" or "Earl Ocean Confusion" (which gets right to the point). But deletion is probably better. technopilgrim 19:28, 29 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A software program that stores information of kidney stones. No indication of notability, not a breakthrough or radical development in any way. It is also an ad. JFW | T@lk 23:00, 27 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Apparently the laboratory accomplished what no other clinical laboratory had done. They developed the assays and the statistical presentation of diagnostic testing results for specialists in urology and nephrology. dsaklad@zurich.csail.mit.edu 06:55, 28 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
