Evening Crazies

[edit]

Term for a supposed increase in 'hyperactivity and playfulness' in cats during the night due to their nocturnal nature.

The previous nomination ended with three 'votes' for merging to Cat and two delete/merge votes. It's still here and hasn't been merged. The thing is, it's not referenced and therefore fails WP:V, and I for one wouldn't put it into Cat unless a reference could be found. And if someone does come up with a source to support it, it's not like we'd be losing a huge amount of material that would have to be rewritten.

For what it's worth one of the cats we used to have exhibited the 'evening crazies' for a while, but the cats that I've lived with since have been crazy and hyperactive at completely random times during the day and night, so I have no idea whether this is actually true or not beyond a tiny bit of anecdotal evidence.

Dragon Kingdoms

[edit]

Delete this article on a webcomic which does not meet WP:WEB. This article was listed as a PROD for lack of reliable sources and for not meeting WP:WEB notability guidelines. The PROD was also endorsed by a second user [2]. The PROD tag was later removed by an anon user because, as they wrote on Talk:Dragon_Kingdoms, "Comic Genesis is a major webcomic site" and "The Webcomic List lists many comics, including Dragon Kingdoms." Neither of these are reliable sources or signs that this webcomic meets WP:WEB. "Comic Genesis (formerly Keenspace) is a free hosting provider for webcomics ... there is no requirement to join other than having a comic to put up." "The Webcomic List" seems to list every webcomic submitted to them: "Get your favourite comic listed for free! If you want to see your comic or a comic you read appear on The Webcomic List then please enter the it's [sic] details below! ... Your comic will be added to the list straight away ..." [3] Dragonfiend 02:39, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Why? Because of the guideline that states: "7. Content that is distributed by independent online sites will almost certainly satisfy the first criterion." Comic Genesis, whether anyone wants to admit it or not, is an independent online site, and if this comic should go, then there are dozens of other comics on this site that should be removed from the webcomic list section. Other reasons that support keeping the article. 1) The series has more than the suggested 70 comics in an 18-month period. 2) It ranks fairly high on a search engine. 3) It might be better to have a list within the Comic Genesis article of the more active webcomics on its site, than remove valuable material from this and other Comic Genesis sites. Again, CG may have thousands of comics, but very few of them are active. --65.32.81.3 02:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note #7 of WP:WEB also states "Such distributions should be nontrivial. Although Geocities and Newgrounds are exceedingly well known, hosting content on them is trivial." Being hosted on a free site such as geocities, myspace or comic genesis is a trivial matter, and not a sign of notability. -- Dragonfiend 03:49, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • At the time Dragon Kingdoms joined Comic Genesis (which was Keenspace at the time, in April 2004), there WAS a quality requirement (that the comic happened to meet). Not just anyone could join. Part of the re-branding effort in 2005 was for Comic Genesis to be more open to the many webcomics out there, to the extent of registering domains, such as toonspace.com, among others. So, while it is now possible for just any comic to join, that wasn't the case. Also, Comic Genesis is hardly trivial- it isn't even stated in a COMIC guideline page that it is. Even if it is now, it wasn't then. --65.32.81.3 03:59, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Proof Comic Genesis never had quality requirements. You're thinking of Keenspot (which was the entire reason Keenspace was rebranded: People kept getting the two confused). Nifboy 00:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • History of Comic Genesis Comic Genesis had a major crash under the Keenspace name in 2003.
        • Revised to Keep In fact, before they officially started taking any submission that came across the street in March 2004, they were limiting submissions, so the site wouldn't crash again. My submission was in February 2004, at the time they said "We're limiting comic submissions at this time, but if you're good enough, we'll take you. Please submit the work that you want to represent your comic." The first work I sent ended up representing the April 9th update. The comic posted by Nifboy started in 2002, before the short period of submission limitations. Since I don't know much about Comic Genesis before the crash, I thought they all had to be quality works. Even so, it doesn't make sense to remove comics that were already being hosted before the crash due to lack of quality. Because, if CG was as delete-happy as Wikipedia is, there would probably be about 10 or 20 comic sites left on it. As mentioned, this community is a black eye in the webcomics community, to the point that it WOULD be best to take all articles down, and move them to Comic Genesis, Comixpedia, or any other webcomics-related community's Wiki. In fact, I think all these deletions are going against what Wikis were supposed to be in the first place. It doesn't harm a directory on webcomics to tell a little about each one, as said earlier, if long listings become a problem, BOLDly split them into other categories! If they are truly inactive comics, THEN consider removal. If they are poorly written (which I believe is the TRUE issue here), have them marked for clean-up. Otherwise, remove them ALL, and have the webcomics page be a links page to sites that host these comics. --Videowizard2006 01:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Alexa 33,878, which is respectable for a webcomic --Ruby 03:23, 18 February 2006 (UTC) Changing to no vote per Dragonfiend --Ruby 03:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • 33,878 is actually the Alexa rank for all of the thousands of webcomics hosted on the free Comic Genesis hosting service combined. If you scroll down to "Where do people go on comicgen.com?", you'll see that Dragon Kingdoms is not in the top 20 most popular webcomic on Comic Genesis, and it accounts for less than 1% of their Alexa traffic. -- Dragonfiend 03:29, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If that's the case, couldn't the article be either on Wikimedia or the Comic Genesis wiki? Though it is strange that Comic Genesis isn't considered notable enough. Another possibility, rather than deleting every article in sight, is having the webcomic lists in genres. That way, the main page would still be readable, and people looking for comics of a certain genre can find them. Also, at the time Dragon Kingdoms joined Comic Genesis (which was Keenspace at the time, in April 2004), there WAS a quality requirement (that the comic happened to meet). Part of the re-branding effort in 2005 was for Comic Genesis to be more open to the many webcomics out there, to the extent of registering domains, such as toonspace.com, among others. --65.32.81.3 03:55, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Revised --Videowizard2006 08:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Close to 500 webcomic articles have been imported to Comixpedia from this site. The decline continues. Though maybe not all of the imports are articles deleted from Wikipedia, I have a feeling a lot of them are. If "there's no way to verify most webcomics' articles" (quoted from Nifboy), why not take them all down? Just make searches for them redirects to the appropriate comic site. As I've already stated, it is pointless for Wikipedia to duplicate the existing sites' (CG and Comixpedia) Wiki directories. This also works because, like it or not, some notable webcomic authors (such as the one of Checkerboard Nightmare) already feel that Wikipedia is a useless source for webcomic information (which I unfortunately agree with them). I looked at the Secret of Mana Theater article (for example), and I fail to see what is so notable about that. Also, I don't know why 2-3 people can shut an article down. Having 10 votes is hardly a large enough sample from the community to allow an article to be deleted, especially when there is no way to check that 5 of these people are Dragonfiend's friends, a well-noted nominator of articles for deletion. This is supposed to be a site for everyone. If your article is simply a description of the characters and the comic's history, and not "LOL, go to teh forumz", or "My comic is da BOMB" what harm does it do to put the word out there? Also, Alexa is no longer supposed to be used as criteria for an article, yet that is what DF has been doing. In fact, I'm thinking about proposing a new standard for webcomics to end this fighting.

I feel that it is fine to have an article on your (or any) webcomic, as long as: 1) It has been around for at least 6 months. 2) It has at least 20 comics in those six months, 70 by the end of 18 months (if a weekly), or 15 comics in 18 months for a monthly. 3) It doesn't go around saying it's the greatest comic ever. It is okay, however, to mention improvements since earlier editions. 4) It at least talks about the characters, mentions the time it started and its website link, and should have some history. That's all. If it isn't well-written, mark for cleanup. If the comic becomes inactive (three months without update) for a long time (like RPG World), it should go into the Inactive list for six months, after which, it can be an AfD (Article for Deletion). Inappropriate articles can go into AfD or SD, depending on severity. Completed webcomics like Kid Radd would be exempt from the Inactive list, and would go under the Completed list. I don't know why we all have to keep fighting, keep arguing, and keep deleting, when there is a simple solution right here.

Finally, to verify, is it so hard to go to said website and look through the archives? I didn't notice anyone checking to see if the info was correct besides DF, which doesn't exactly instill confidence in me. --Videowizard2006 05:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - Videowizard, I agree with you that Wikipedia's rules are too strict about what is considered to be a notable webcomic, but the truth is that is the rules of the site, and that is what we're going by here. This webcomic may or may not deserve an article here, but by the current standards it does not. I think your arguments are good, and deserve to be heard, but this is not the place to bring it up, this is only an AfD discussion. Try taking this up in the WikiProject Webcomics discussion, where it's not going to fall on deaf ears. If this article stays it would be an exception to this site's rules, so rather than try to preserve the article, see if you can get people to agree to change the rules. -- Zaron 05:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Videowizard2006, I can understand that this might be difficult for you, having not only an article that you wrote up for deletion but having the article be about your comic as well. The only thing I can think to suggest is that you might want to read over Wikipedia:Verifiability and try to understand that we are building a reliable encyclopedia based upon reputable published sources. The alternative -- an unreliable encyclopedia -- isn't really a worthwhile option. It may also help to read over Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. For example, Wikipedia is not a place for advertising or self promotion, nor is it a web directory. Best of luck with your comic. -- Dragonfiend 08:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • So, you don't hate it then? I thought maybe part of the issue was hatred of the comic. Well, I've noticed somewhat of an increase in the comic's popularity recently, having been included in the 2005 Blank Label Webcomic Telethon, and the number of hits have steadily increased. Unfortunately, Comic Genesis doesn't make the number of hits a comic gets public, so it isn't possible to verify that the comic has done so. Maybe it's just a little early for this comic to get an article here. Would've been nice, though. --Videowizard2006 08:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I realized something. As far as I know, this is the first comic series based on a RPG Maker creation. I haven't seen anything about webcomics starting before November 2000 that are based on RPG Maker. How come being first isn't considered notable? After all, there's the first sprite comic, the first Flash comic, the first 3D comic, etc. --Videowizard2006 07:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Catholic Guilt

[edit]

This is an extremely notable and widely discussed concept, and as such this article needs cleanup not deletion. However it was {{prod}}ded, which gives me the excuse to bring it here. Kappa 02:41, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

How old does something have to be before it's no longer a neologism? I don't think "catholic guilt" is one. 108,000 hits on Google, 465 hits on Google Book Search, 501 on Amazon's "Search Inside This Book." And not that it's directly relevant to the article, but I saw Big Catholic Guilt live, and they were really good. Anyway, as noted WP has White guilt and Jewish mother stereotype, so the article is not necessarily a powder key, but what's written there at present is not worth keeping. The article on Guilt#Cultural views of guilt is rather skimpy so it could be merged over there, provided it were improved upon. Schizombie 05:04, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • COMMENT I'm sorry I just need to interject here. There are a lot of you voting Keep and Expand but nobody is really taking any initiative to expand and cleanup the article. This really, really, really does not fix the problem. If it is so notable and worthy of more than the dictdef that it currently is why doesn't anyone fix it?

My point being that if nobody ever takes the time to expand and clean up these supposed notable articles then a pretty low standard for articles becomes established. Clean them up, expand them, or delete them. James084 18:01, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lon Amick

[edit]

nn actor with one direct-to-video credit to his name, calls himself a poet even though he's not published, and claims descent from Charlemagne along with millions of other people. ("Everyone is Descended From Charlemagne") User:Zoe|(talk) 03:49, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Firstly, to be a poet doesn't imply any published work. Emily Dickinson had no work published while she was alive; does that mean that while alive she wasn't a poet? Take that idea and stretch it to all artists. You are saying that if they have no art for resale they are not really making art. That is a lie. The bio says Amick is an actor who is in the planning stages of his poetry book; we have no reason to doubt this.

As to his ancestors, these may be fantastic claims but we have no way to prove them to be lies. If they are really all that bothersome I suggest editing out the portion “…whose lineage can be traced to Charlemagne the Blessed Anne Catherine Emmerich and Edgar Allen Poe among others.” However, I see no reason to really doubt these as factual. Also, if everyone is related to Charlemagne then he has just as much right to say so as everyone else.

Amick obviously does have an acting career and a position with Monumental Pictures. I think this is proven by the external links. While he has only one movie to his credit he is in talks for more movies and does hold a position on Monumental’s Board of Directors. I think if we doubt this we should contact Monumental Pictures and ask them about the nature of “Imprudence” Amick’s role in the company and any further acting work he may be doing.

I don’t think that this page is a strong candidate for deletion, this person has obviously done things and is continuing to do things that are beyond the scope of the everyday individual.

The above is from User:Scotsmanace, whose only edits are to the Lon Amick and Blake Fitzpatrick articles. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If Wikipedia had existed during Emily Dickinson's time, and somebody had tried to write an article on her, the article would rightly have been deleted, as she was not notable at the time. Also, it is not our job to try to prove things are lies. It is the job of the people who write the articles to prove that they are true and notable. So, when are you going to start editing the article of every single person of European ancestry to include that tidbit about being descended from Charlemagne? And where's the proof for Mr. Amick? Also, one credit does not an actor make. User:Zoe|(talk) 21:36, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. Im new to wikipedia, the banner thing said to delete it if we dissagreed and i do.

Yes, but that means it goes over here.

2. we are mearly trying to help, we are aware of the clean up campain, this is just a suppliment, 2 is always better then 1, and 3 is better th4en 2. so anyone elce starts one, that wont be a bad thing either. think of it like a milita, theres the army whitch does most of the work, we just try our best to do more then our fair shair.

All of us here are by default part of the cleanup crew.
I never thought I'd watch myself type this, but Wikipedia is not an MMPORPG. You are certainly welcome to have your group and website and do what you do. It just doesn't merit an article, especially seeing as we work hard to avoid self-referentialism here. I would commend you to the project namespace but, as I said, we already have something for that.

3. daniel case is a known obsessive deleter. he puts more deletion noices up then their are articles, ive been here a week and ive seen 3 deletion banner put up by him.

And this is a slow week, too :-). Like you said, there's the army and there's the militia. Daniel Case 05:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

delete - Many similar articles on non-notable people have been deleted in the past and there is no reason why this article should be kept on Wikipedia. Vandals have already removed this AfD tag before and it should stay on this article until the matter is resolved. Lughguy 22:06, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Well known presenter. -- 9cds(talk) 23:08, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, as per 9cds. SaltyWater 23:20, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - as per above. Article does have some POV issues and needs a cleanup. However, this is another reason why notability is subjective, POV, and should not be used as a criteria for inclusion in or deletion from Wikipedia. DanielZimmerman 23:27, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Are all of these really good faith nominations? I don't believe they are. At best, I think we're well in WP:POINT territory; at worst, this smacks of vandalism. -- Captain Disdain 00:19, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - This is a relisting of a nomination from February 2006, which was nominated by Kukini and closed as "Speedy Delete" without any discussion (!) by the administrator Sceptre. This re-nomination should definitely mention that it is a re-nomination, and it would be good if Sceptre could explain the rationale for closing the original nomination. --Saforrest 02:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • The original article was only the following content: "Lee started out as a marine engineer officer before travelling the world and living in Thailand. He later became a top model, presenting live shows for Barclaycard, Sony and Vodafone. You may recognise him from 90s boyband, Northern Live and his stints on Bid TV and Sky Vegas Live." Sceptre, not unreasonably, felt that this was not quite enough to establish notability. I think the current article makes it more clear, though. Just because something was speedied once does not mean it can ever be created again; speedy deletion is a way of cleaning out the thousand obviously bad/fake/wrong articles we get per day at Wikipedia, sometimes a few things slip through the cracks. (If they are really notable subjects, then someone will soon create a new article about it. Which seems to have been the case here.) --Fastfission 04:45, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Only it never said "Big dick" any where in the article. That's completely made up. I don't even know why I said that.

Comment. Go ahead and recreate it in the namespace if you're going to put it up as a glossary. The wording matters; there's just too many pages listing translations for words that have no real place in wiki, but as a glossary this could be useful. (I probably should have noticed that it should be a glossary in the first place, instead of AfDing it. Pardon me!)  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  00:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In the future, I recommend discussing it on the approriate talk page before marking an article AfD. It's much better to argue semantics (which is all this is) on the talk page than to cause problems by marking it AfD without thinking about it or discussing it first. --nihon 02:32, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your sentiment is correct but I didn't consider it a semantic issue at first. Regardless I have already apologized. I choose to take the positive POV that AfD obviously provides quick results, although at the same time, it is obvious that votes come in too quickly and without enough thought. AfD is allowed as a judge of an article's worthiness because it allows for discussion of its merits in a period of five days. This is simply a case of bad timing.  freshgavinΓΛĿЌ  06:22, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Usyukuro label

[edit]

This was {{prod}}ed by User:Cnwb as a "non-notable record label", and indeed, it gets very few google hits, but I looked in the deleted history (it was previously deleted as nonsense, being fairly incoherent) and noticed links to Japanese and German versions of the article, which I copied and pasted back into the article. The German one doesn't seem to exist, but the Japanese one does. It all just appears as question marks in my browser, so I can't make any kind of judgement about it, but I thought it deserved a day on AfD for that alone. Maybe it can be cleaned up, by someone who can work with the Japanese version? No vote. -GTBacchus(talk) 07:31, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Omnibenevolence

[edit]
The notion of an omnibenevolent, infinitely compassionate deity has often been attacked based on the problem of evil and the problem of hell.
The rest is badly written and actually says that Psalms 18:30 is contradicted by Hebrews.8:6-7. If that's not original research then I don't know what is. Cuñado - Talk 20:04, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. While this is an important topic in Christian theology, the idea can be very briefly summarized, and, in fact, is on God, theodicy, the problem of evil, etc. Besides which, while omnibenevolence traditionally is one of the attributes of God, in Christian theology, it generally has been considered only one of the perfections of God. In short, this content belongs elsewhere. Ig0774 20:29, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Aside from the other comments above, the term is a neologism used by relatively few people. In the history of theology and the philosophy of religion, the term "benevolence" has been used without problem; "omnibenevolence" seems to have been coined simply in imitation of "omnipotence" and "omniscience". --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 22:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Omnibenevolence, though a strange word I admit, has stronger meaning (for lack of a better word...implications? I'm tired) than benevolence alone. Omnibenevolence is a key premise in some formulations of the Ontological argument for the existence of God. In courses and some primary literature on religious philosophy, the word is used and addressed in and of itself. It deserves an article here, regardless of the quality of the current peice. Shaggorama 10:43, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    One of my main teaching and research areas is the philosophy of religion; the term "omnibenevolence" is of recent coinage (within the last decade or so), and until even more recently was mainly confined to undergraduate esays. Not one of the major writers on the ontological argument, for example, uses the term; they use "goodness", "benevolence", etc. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 23:31, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are only 3 criteria at WP:WEB, and it is not demonstrated that (1) "the content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works", (2) "the website or content has won a well known and independent award" or (3) "the content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators". The article itself must provide proofs that its subject meets one of these criteria; which it doesn't. -- Sandstein 09:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete non-notable or game someone is trying to invent. Can't find a single mention with google, while real games get thousands or tens of thousands of hits. Kids chat about their games. Weregerbil 16:24, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete — Apart from the supposed rumor, this article appears non-notable. WP is not a crystal ball. Also the rumor appears on the Volition, Inc. page, presumably added by the same author. The page can be rewritten if the game ever develops some notability. :) — RJH 16:01, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not notable yet. See the article's talk page - the article authors seem to be saying it's under development. Well, if it does get developed and published and popular, we can make the article then, but until that time, it's not notable.

  • Question - Can we call this a keep? or just leave it open and let it run its course? Tomertalk 12:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep — these are real languages. I wrote the original articles on the different Judaeo-Aramaic languages. They have much in common, but lack overall mutual intelligibility. Combining the articles would be a retrograde step. It is useful to have an article that can direct the reader to the articles on the individual languages, but could also discuss their position. Wikipedia is a work in progress, and it would be careless to kill off something that is in development. This really is not the kind of article that should be submitted to AFD. --Gareth Hughes 21:07, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- (3) she was nominated for grammies two times but lost because she is such a bad singer!

FK Kandava A single team playing in the regional floor hockey league in a remote area of Latvia seems not to be relevant enough for an article in the English wikipedia. Using abbreviated names does not help. Gf1961 15:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well, they are in the national championship. I vote keep, and we can merge player details into it. However, I don't like the 'I think' that is included in the article. Are we not sure whether the team is Latvian? James Kendall [talk] 16:05, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, that the term national championship is fake. Tukums is a town in Kurzeme region in Latvia, all towns, rather villages of the Tukuma "national" championship, that I could identify on a map, come from places not further than 30 miles from Tukums.

  • Comment: Not convinced it needs deleting, it does exist, probably needs a rename to BuzzerQuiz Jw6aa 02:43, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Go to www.buzzerquiz.com, and see the shell of a Web site that is there. All it says is "new site coming soon" and that was back in March 2005. The link is circular, and there is no indication that there is any plans for this organization to conduct any contest of any sort in the near future. This is bollocks, plain and simple. ~~LynnW
    • Only what you say if having an up to date web site is a requirement. ACF and NAQT have pages on Wikipedia.
  • Redirect to Quiz show or something similar. Too obscure and inactive to have its own article, in my opinion. BobbyLee 14:01, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • If you want the article kept, improve it and reference it. All of your comments have been assertions, I'm sure perfectly correct ones, but not evidence. Dlyons493 Talk
  • If you ask me, User:Jw6aa has a vested interest in this Buzzerquiz; perhaps he/she's a representative for that organization or something? As far as I'm concerned, mention BuzzerQuiz from the Quiz bowl page, but no more than that - from all the evidence that has been gleaned by users here, BuzzerQuiz is not so important as to merit its own page. BobbyLee 12:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • It seems like you're talking about evidence from people who appear to have have no direct experience and comments based on google searches. There is more to this than is currently available on the www and thus if you only went by that route, you might form a different view than if you'd actually been to the events. My interest is in making Wikipedia a better encyclopedia and not deleting things for the sake of deletion. I've been to the events, that is my reason for commenting. I didn't create the article, so I'd imagine I'm not the only person that thinks it is worthy of one.Jw6aa 14:55, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I find that a little rude and unnessesary. Also, just because you don't know about this game and site doesn't mean others don't. I also don't have the capability to use MediaWiki and host my own.

Turd-Ad

[edit]

Was originally prodded, but contested by author. Now listing on AfD. Original reason: NN forum website that would probably fail WP:WEB. Article is poorly written, although that isn't a reason for deletion... Kareeser|Talk! 20:20, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What needs to be done if this article is to remain? Sweet Clyde 20:30, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — The reason that I listed "Turd-Ad" on WP:PROD, and then Articles for deletion was simply because I do not consider your band/website to be particularly notable. On the other hand, if you can provide proof that your band has done something notable, or that something notable has happened to the band/website, and can assert that nobility, then by all means, you may keep your article (after the AfD debate concludes).
At any rate: Wikipedia isn't a hosting space, nor is it a fan page, but if proof is provided that shows that Turd-Ad merits an article of its own, then the community will decide in your favour. Kareeser|Talk! 20:27, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't regard them as my band, but I am the proprietor of the record label to which they are assigned. Anyhow, I'll see what I can do. Sweet Clyde 20:35, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The album is pending a release very soon, so when it is released the band will be notable? Ercheck:"possibly the creation of a 15 year old". You are incorrect although I fail to see what bearing the age of the author or contributors has on the quality or relevance of the article.JohnOHara 12:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment — Hi, John. To meet notability guidelines for music bands (including independant bands) for inclusion into Wikipedia, they must meet the guidelines as stated here (WP:MUSIC). If Turd-Ad can meet the criteria for inclusion, then you will be able to argue for your side. As for the "15 year old" comment, I believe that ERcheck was simply referring to the fact that most 15 year-olds aren't the kind to produce something notable, much less WP-inclusionable.

michael jackson did! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.157.48.246 (talk • contribs)

Personally, I would regard the phrase "non-notable pair of buffoons" quite offensive and believe that such blatant effrontery has no place on Wikipedia. I would simply like to add that Turd-Ad has a quite significant fan-base and, as aforementioned, is working on the release of an album with contributions from a wider group of affiliates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dr Romano (talk • contribs)



Wikipedia is criticised on the following issues: 

   * Usefulness as a reference
   * Anti-elitism as a weakness
   * Systemic bias in coverage
   * Systemic bias in perspective
   * Difficulty of fact checking
   * Use of dubious sources
   * Exposure to vandals
   * Privacy concerns
   * Quality Concerns
   * Flame wars
   * Fanatics and special interests [see note 1] 
   * Censorship [see note 2]

Note 1: I don't think dance music, Turd-Ad's main output, can be classified as specialist. Note 2: Yes, censorship. The act of disallowing someone's right to free thought and speech and freedom of information. This is what Wikipedia is once again doing, going against its very reasons for being.

Another point I would like to put to you regards the nature of your style of moderation. You seem to be working against us, not with us, trying to get this article deleted in an effort to flex your authorative muscles and show who's "boss". Your opinion is not better than ours. Wikipedia is a mass of human information and therefore should contain information that all humans want, whether it may be "specialist" to some it would not be to others. Surely going with the majority feeling or opinion is not in the best interest of the minority? Instead all tastes should be catered for. This page does harm to no-one but helps and pleases others. We kindly ask you not to delete this article. JohnOHara 20:06, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — The Wikipedia community (and I believe I represent several peoples' opinions here) isn't all against you. In fact, while I may have sounded rather harsh in dealing with this, the listing on AfD and the ensuing discussion is simply following guidelines detailed in Articles for Deletion. Wikipedia isn't a space for free speech (as that may sometimes violate the NPOV policy), nor is it (and this is important) a free web-hosting service. Non-notable entries are entirely that: Non-notable, and therefore, should not be included in Wikipedia until they can be proven to be notable. Kareeser|Talk! 20:21, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But some of reasons for being notable are hardly clear-cut. 30 minutes on a radio broadcast? What if Turd-Ad was featured for 29? (I believe it was featured on 2FM). Surely the rule should be: "Featured for a notable amount of time on a radio broadcast" I know you don't have the power to change that rule but you can see where I am coming from.81.129.71.209 20:42, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment — The reason behind the clear black-and-white distinction in the criteria for notability under WP:MUSIC is due to the fact that it is not good form to say "a notable amount of time". Being an ambiguous phrase, exceptions can be made, and if exceptions are made, then the standard is lowered, and later on, many articles that formerly would have failed the guidelines set out through WP:MUSIC would make it through. It is unfortunate to say that if you've been on 29 minutes, you've failed the test, but that's the rule. Kareeser|Talk! 20:50, 19 February 2006 (U

I say leave it alone, this self promotion claims occur too often on wiki. self promotion Crea7or 20:18, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am not agree with deletion: Fomine 10:52, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Crea7or is direct competitor of the Winpopup LAN Messenger.
  • This page is not promotion. It is short information only. See this page [28] if you are looking promotion.
  • "this seems to be non-notable software" - the software is contained in non-large segment of the market (LAN Messenger). But it is significant in this segment. So it is well founded to have this page if the wikipedia have LAN Messenger page.
    • Can you explicate the significance in the limited segment? Approximate marketshare? Or userbase compared to other products in the market? Or do you have notable press on the product that wasn't sourced by the company who makes the software?--Karnesky 11:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • You are right, there is no public info about userbase, downloads or sales. I have no objective comparison. I have only stats for two softwares in this segment and my subjective vision about competitors. Have I ineterest ? - Yes. Am I expert in this subject ? I guess - Yes. That is why I edit common topics like LAN Messenger, Winpopup, etc. and I do not touch my competitors pages. Fomine 14:15, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Vitaly, you have commercial interest here ( As me some time ago ). One of wiki admins has told me about wiki policy and commercial interest is not acceptable here at all. Links to commercial sites I also not acceptable as Perfecto told me. Please understand me and delete your links if you want to keep this article - but it have no encyclopedic info and will be deleted by the other users I think ( and I see the conforming answers here). This is not a software archive like "1000 new programs".crea7or
          • Pavel (Crea7or), this article is just short facts about the software (not promotion). The homepage url is fact also, and the description will be partial without the homepage. I do not understand what wrong with this link ?! Each commercial org promoute its products at theirs homepages. Do you offer to remove all external links ? I see the difference between wikipedia and my site, thanks Perfecto too. Fomine 20:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Pavel (Crea7or), it is ok, when independent person initiate such deletion process. But you are my competitor, and you have your commercial interest that is opposite to mine. You think that this article is advertisement. All others contributors has some doubt in "significance in the limited segment" only. What do you think is the Winpopup LAN Messenger adequate item of the LAN Messengers ? 20:21, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

MISSION

[edit]

This page is just an advertisment for an online game. It is not properly formatted, it not written as an encyclopedia entry, and no pages in Wikipedia link to it. Jorvik 20:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also, it was created by User:MISSION whose user page is an exact copy of the arcicle. Jorvik 20:40, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, MISSION is not a GAME it's an online cartoon and NOT an advertisement. I don't make any money off of the site and have placed this article on wikipedia to provide further information about the cartoon. I figured since other comic book type sites have THEIR own entries, I can make one for mine since thousands of people watch this cartoon. You might want to check out the entry for 'Sacred Pie' which is similar to my site, yet it has an entry too. I don't see why my entry is considered an 'advertisement' and being singled out for deletion while sacred pie is essentially the same thing. Please clarify this for me.

This is a list of certain schools, which WP:Is Not. There is already a list of Bible colleges so this is a fork to promote certain Australian bible schools.

Frequency 1350 and Pluto (Student Newspaper)

[edit]

Article about a student radio station. Although well written and neatly formatted, the article shows no evidence to demonstrate why this radio station is important. Zunaid 21:14, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I wrote the article. The radio station has a potential audience of over 100,000 people. It is well known in the Preston area and similar radio stations have pages on Wikipedia that have not been scheduled for deletion. Please do not delete it. Joebloggsy 21:19, 18 February 2006

The same goes for the Pluto, it has a massive audience and similar articles exist already that have not been deleted. Joebloggsy 21:21, 18 February 2006

  • It's not so much that we don't believe you, Joebloggsy, as much as is that the article doesn't show evidence of what you state here. Also, isn't "potential audience" a funny measure for a radio station's noteworthiness? Couldn't any radio station in the area make the same assertion? --Maxamegalon2000 21:38, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As could any other student radio station listed on Wikipedia. It isn't possible for student radio stations to ascertain correct RAJAR figures as that centralises on commercial radio and BBC radio stations. Perhaps if you could explain what is meant by evidence and examples of what we could provide then we could reach a more amicable solution. (Unattributed)

  • Check out the Student Radio Association page for other examples for student stations on Wikipedia. The university is the fourth largest in the UK. What would you suggest I add to the articles to make them worthy? Cheers, Joebloggsy. --Joebloggsy 21:50, 18 February 2006
  • Plus, Pluto has three celebrity writers, which is of interest. Joebloggsy 22:41, 18 February 2006
  • Here's my case for keeping the articles...

1. They are integral parts of one of the UK's largest higher education institutions.
2. Frequency is one of only a handful of radio stations in Preston, a major North-West city.
3. The university has one of the best journalism courses in the country, so these media have, and will continue to develop journalists who go on to be significant.
4. Other student radio stations and newspapers have been on Wikipedia without being deleted. (See the Student Radio Association page for examples).
5. Pluto has guest writers that include Mark Lawrenson, Tom Finney, and Jim Bowen and has been mentioned several times in the national press because of this.
6. Frequency often hosts meetings for the Student Radio Association, and is an integral member.
7. The two media get as many readers/listeners as any non-student media, and would not get deleted if they weren't student-based.
8. Pluto has been running since 1985 - making it one of the country's oldest student newspapers.

Resident Evil 4 (film)

[edit]
  • Comment: No. They never officially announced a fourth film, only the possibility of doing one. There's no concrete plans on doing a fourth film and everything in this article is nothing but speculation and gossip. It's the same reason why every single article on Batman Begins 2 gets deleted. Jonny2x4 20:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Even in the absence of an official announcement, it seems fairly clear that there are well-established and credible plans and expectations for this movie to be done. The article states (I'm assuming truthfully, until someone changes it) that "Producer Paul W. S. Anderson has signed onto the project and may write the script", so obviously there is at least a hypothetical project within the studio for him to sign onto. And if nothing else, it appears that the plans themselves for this movie are notable enough for an article (i.e., the article can be about present plans and verifiable reports instead of about a nonexistent future movie). –Sommers (Talk) 21:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Sonys has confirmed possible creation of the film as the script details of Extinction still stand to lead into the forth film. If the plot details have changed for the third film somebody please provide a source, otherwise the film is still in early pre-production stages. P.S. why was this article was nominated twice for deletion when you cant even prove the film wont be made? Empty2005 08:08, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please note: This AFD applies to a large number of pages. There are also various redirect pages (eg, Ruinmist) not listed; a vote to delete the lot will be interpreted as including those.

This one is a bit odd, so please bear with me. Basically, Robert Stanek is an almost entirely non-notable author, with hordes of obscure fantasy books coming from a small press, which he may or may not control. But he has a very good PR machine, which makes him seem like a major author; dedicated fans fill Amazon with glowing reviews, vaguely threatening 'legal' letters mysteriously get sent to places that mention that his books are not very good, and so forth. And in December, this PR machine hit Wikipedia; see WP:AN. Hordes of links to his material from unrelated pages; hordes of pages on his stuff. A lot of the cruftier stuff got trimmed then - I know, I did some - and we left it.

Last night, a couple of the authors of these pages started blanking Talk:Robert Stanek, demanding that comments suggesting astroturfing were removed. Fun ensued; see WP:AN/I. So I got to thinking about our pages on his works... hence, this AFD. I've been reflecting on these articles, and they're just not worth keeping.

  • I'd be uneasy with anything running to this detail on a "real" novel... and as it is, given the obscurity of Stanek's books, I really feel we're just being used for astroturfing. WP:NOT a soapbox; astroturfing is self-promotion in all but name, IME. It's certainly not motivated by improving the encyclopedia.
  • The obscurity of Stanek's work means that these pages will likely suffer the fate of vanity pages - even if they weren't created by him, they are of interest to a very small number of people, and will likely be left unmaintained for long periods. Many of them haven't been touched at all since the frenzy of creation, with the rest maybe getting a typo fixed or a link disambiguated.
  • Merging and redirecting without going to AFD was possible, but I know that would just result in me being yelled at (you should see Talk:Robert Stanek), and trying to see if community consensus agreed with me seemed smarter. Plus, this way I get to shift the buck to "Wikipedia". :-)
  • The books are, IME, non-notable... but due to the nature of the situation that's hotly debated. It is something to bear in mind, though.

Thoughts? I do feel we'd be better off without them. Shimgray | talk | 22:08, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Eakers4 added Robert Stanek to the list of deletions here. I feel it needs to be considered seperately - very different arguments for deletion apply to it (and I for one am ambivalent over deleting it). See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Stanek.

  • Delete Calling the fiction of this author "obscure" would be elevating its position far above what it deserves, and it's clear from my following of the backtrails and other contributions of his supporters/sockpuppets earlier today that their ONLY contributions outside his specific topics have been to weasel references into other non-related topics. This disease is already rampant on Amazon and Usenet - It's pure astroturf, it has no business here.
    Also, note that the "author" topic had a history of either copyright infringement (the posting of the covers of multiple novels without permission of the publisher) or blantant promotion (if the publisher was the individual posting them). I made the edit deleting them just before the start of the current revertwar. 69.213.249.15 04:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)     69.213.249.15 17:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC) New perm ID Synthfilker 03:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep, blank, and redirect to Robert Stanek After reading Monicasdude's comments below, I have to agree. Redirect to the author's page, allow a single mention of the fiction (as opposed to a listing of every single edition and variation of each book), perhaps one thumbnailed cover as an example, and there maintain as well the record of the astroturfing here and on Amazon and the attempted supression of/retaliation for bad reviews and commentary questioning the validity of the reviews. 69.213.249.15 17:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC) New perm ID Synthfilker 03:26, 20 February 2006 (UTC) Elaboration Thatcher131 has it right, I think. I've been trying to figure out a concise way of saying that myself. There's also going to need to be a general housecleaning to remove astroturf from articles like this: [33], (under the "In Modern Literature" heading, left only to provide an example) Synthfilker 19:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I still vote delete, but bear in mind that some of the users urging deletion are anonymous or very new, which is odd. See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Robert Stanek. Sandstein 10:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, blank, and redirect to Robert Stanek. This guy is the Angelyne of the fantasy/sf world and is therefore, for better or worse, notable. The deletion alternative simply makes Wikipedia his silent accomplice (which is why the author's apparent anon/sockpuppets are pushing deletion). Monicasdude 16:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Safe sex makespan

[edit]

Mildly funny example of pure bullocks...and it seems it went through AfD once before, according to the talk page, but there is no indication of what the verdict was. --Ruby 23:07, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is the "safe sex" version of the "glove problem", see [34], as Kappa pointed out in the last discussion debate about this topic here. It is a real combinatorics / optimization problem, and the mathematics presented is sound. It would need somebody to check the sources given in the MathWorld link, to find out all the alternate names, and to turn this more into an article about the problem than about wrong solutions for it. At the very least, consider transwiki to an appropriate Wikibook on operations research. Kusma (討論) 23:34, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Delete Earlier VfD is at [35] It's certainly the type of problem Operations Research deals with but I haven't the time to see if it's a real or joke variant. Highly likely to be original research and also apparently is unverifiable. See below. Dlyons493 Talk 23:50, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So, assuming that nobody rewords it, does it kept the way it is or not? Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 01:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Since I don't know what a "makespan" is, I suggest moving article to glove problem. The language doesn't concern me much. Wether te content is accurate.... actually, that I did not investigate. At least the problem was posed in a coherent way. linas 01:15, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Of course if it is to be renamed to "glove problem" it will have to be reworded. If no one is interested in doing so then it should be renamed to "condom problem" with a redirect from "glove problem". Paul August ☎ 15:15, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
