The Esarni End

[edit]

Supposedly the thirteenth in a series which only actually has twelve books. The thirteenth is a work in progress, its title is unknown, and it already has an article page at Book the Thirteenth (A Series of Unfortunate Events), which will doubtlessly be moved when the actual title is known. Delete. TheMadBaron 00:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But if I'm going to laugh if it turns out to be the right title. He could market that skill. The Hooded Man 00:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
If it did turn out to be the right title, the thing to do would be to move Book the Thirteenth (A Series of Unfortunate Events) to The Esarni End. We don't need two articles about the same book. TheMadBaron 00:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Kadavul

[edit]

dict defn as best Ewok Slayer 00:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Of course, in saying that, the fact that people in Oman and India and Hawaii had all made temples and plays and such calling them "Kadavul" this that or the other suggests that it may warrant an encyclopaedic article. I'm not sure. Does God warrant an encyclopaedic article? Or how about a name for God? If we have an article for Jehovah or Beelzebub or some other obscure name for a deity, then we probably should keep this. Actually, stuff it, I don't know which way to vote on this one. Zordrac 08:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. In its original form, it was certainly worth deleting, but now it's a perfectly reasonable (sub)stub. If somebody can expand it a bit with some information specific to the name Kaduvul, it's worth keeping as a standalone article. At worst, it should get a redirect to Allah --RoySmith 14:28, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Unless there is something unique to the tamil interpretation, redirect this alternate name for Allah. We keep separate articles for seperate concepts. Alternate names are resolved through redirects. Rossami (talk) 15:53, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
From what I read, with the game shows and temples and all of the rest, there are assertions towards this name having meaning that is separate from Allah. Zordrac 18:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Redirect per Rossami, assuming it is accurate, and merge this in the article about Allah. If there is something unique about the way Allah is conceived or worshipped by Tamil speakers, the article needs to mention what that difference is. If it's only a synonym, redirect. Smerdis of Tlön 16:11, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It did seem pretty obvious that it was the word for Allah, both from the original version of the article and from the google search I did on it. But I am not sure. The existence of all of those game shows and temples and stuff with the name "Kadavul" suggests that a redirect is probably inappropriate. Zordrac 18:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I am going to vote now. I have discussed this in dic def talk, and it seems that there is a clear precedent for making an encyclopaedic article about the name of a deity. Based on what references I did have a look at, it seems that this has an encyclopaedic value at least partially independent of Allah. After all, there is an Indian English-speaking game show called "Kadavul" while they speak English and could easily have named it Allah. There must be some reason for that. So, while I am not the one that should be writing the article, I think we should stub it and leave it for someone a bit more knowledgeable. Zordrac 05:44, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Henry Thomas Arbuthnot

[edit]

Not a speedy because of some claim to notability, but doesn't seem to have any place here. Possible listify. Stifle 00:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

1838-1919, I dare say he was, for the most part, a 19th century senior military officer Zordrac

*Delete as nothing in google, and nothing in article either. Zordrac 08:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep for now as enough evidence from others that it is a good faith article that may have merit. I may change my vote back to delete pending the results of a discussion. Needs to be expanded. Zordrac 18:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. FWIW, I note that User 62.101.207.27 has many contributions, mostly various Arbuthnots, apparently copied from the Arbuthnot family archives. Possible copyvio? Perhaps this all should be a list? Anyway, the other Arbuthnots seem genuinely notable. Herostratus 09:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I know, I'm lazy, but can you link straight to his contribs for me? I am tempted to change my vote to keep based on your argument. Zordrac 10:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Done, down there vvvv - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 11:56, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: One of the things WP:NOT is genealogy, and the contributor is, essentially, filling out the family tree. It's true that this one, if written by another hand, from scratch, could pass muster, but that's written from scratch, which is to say that none of this content would remain, which is to say delete. Note that none of these Arbuthnots is related to John Arbuthnot, who is, until the late 19th century, the only really famous one. Geogre 12:11, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The funny thing is that your argument almost convinced me to change my vote towards keep, yet you voted delete! :) I am going to change my vote to keep, just to make sure that there's no consensus and this can be debated properly. Zordrac 18:37, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Two Google hits on "Henry Thomas Arbuthnot", from the same site listing the Arbuthnot family tree. And I have seen nothing in this discussion to establish any notability, let alone enough to warrant a WP article. - Dalbury(Talk) 21:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: the following Arbuthnots are included in the ODNB:
...although it may perhaps be added that Wikipedia is likely to be much more inclusive in other fields, such as cricket players (to take an example with relevance for British biography) than the ODNB would ever be, so why not army generals? I don't feel like voting on this particlular article, though. (Just one suggestion: maybe, if he is a son or younger brother of somebody more famous, include a brief note on him in that article?) -- u p p l a n d 09:20, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge although what Uppland says has some merit, the problem here is that there were lots of senior army oficers in those days, the majority of whom barely get a mention in their regimental history. If this guy led any notable campaigns then I'd vote keep without hesitation, but since the author hasn't taken the trouble to add any background, and the majority of sources will be treeware for someone from this era, it's hard to see this as anything other than free mirroring for [5]. Perhaps the best thing is to merge all the Arbuthnots (of whom this anon author has added several) into one proper article on the Arbuthnot family? Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 10:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. User:62.101.207.27 Expanding it is the intention. There is no copyright breach here as the author is webmaster kittybrewster.com responsible for original entries.

LOL! And you think we hadn't guessed that? Anyway, at present there are many stubs: I would suggest merging the Kittybrewsters to one article and the Edinburghs to another until such time as they become unwieldy. I think it would give a better idea of the history and continuity of the families, as well as beign easier for me, the reader, to follow. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

Flonkerton

[edit]

Non-notable joke on TV show The Office. Nine google hits. Seems silly to redirect to The Office, since "flonkerton" is neither mentioned there, nor likely to be. -GTBacchus(talk) 09:30, 19 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

LOL sorry just checked. 3 of the 16 hits are this Vfd!!!!! HA HAHAHAHA! 08:49, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, clearly notable, its Google count has trebled due to discussion in a popular and notable web-forum[7]. Internet phenomena are notable; just need to rewrite article to reflect recent developments... This one'll be on FAC in no time. -GTBacchus(what!?) 17:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Can you explain this better? I thought that 16 hits is pretty low. Only decent hit is A blogspot page, which hasn't been filled in yet. Zordrac 18:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I suspect he's taking the piss. The "notable web-forum" he cites is, in fact, this very AfD discussion. → Ξxtreme Unction {yakłblah} 19:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Zordrac, you yourself said that the Google count had gone from 5 to 16, which is more than treble, and that part of the growth was due to discussion here. I was just rephrasing your post.

LOL good one. Move this discussion to BJAODN. Made me laugh. Zordrac 20:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Doesn't that make it a good joke, and thus ineligible for that "honour"? (FWIW, delete running gag so notable that not even fans of the series remember it.) — Haeleth Talk 20:51, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Haeleth, when you refer to "fans of the series" you're probably referring to those of the UK version. It's actually from the US version (The Office (US)) which is why the UK fans wouldn't remember it. It's really not notable from the US version anyway though. Mrtea 00:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I got the same hits Zordrac got. But if you look at the hits, you'll see that though it says there are 16, there are only 9 on the only page that comes up. Of those 9, two are to this page, two are to cafepress, that cuts it down to 7. One is to flonkerton.com, which does not exist. That leaves 5 Google hits for the word with the meaning in the article.

Murdered_out

[edit]

Neologism? Probably vanity to get the picture in. Mark K. Bilbo 00:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Do not Delete- Clearly the previouse poster is too presumptious to appreciate some authentic Sacramento slang. The term murdered out is widespead in Sacramento and contributes to the cities rich and colorful culture. This is not a joke and should be kept. Mark Bilbo is just bitter because he will never be murdered out. Rather he is clearly Unmurdered out and probably has never here's a good one. Song lyrics which been laid either.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.231.167.204 (talk • contribs) 29 November 2005
  • Delete - vanity --PTSE 01:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, I asked my parents, who live in Sacramento, and they have never heard this phrase. The first page of a Google search only comes up with one usage in this manner, and that's a song lyric. User:Zoe|(talk) 04:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - I laughed so hard I was going to BJAOD it, but then I did the usual old google search and my google gives me 946 hits (I know that for some reason other people's googles give them less hits - maybe because I have safe mode off?) [8]. Simpsons episode. Sideshow Bob: I'm all murdered out. Of course, he was talking about actual killing. That's the only reference to any kind of a joke. Even the song lyric [9] is talking about actual death. In other words, the article above is about something that doesn't exist. Whilst Sideshow bob's quote is listed at least 10 times, and hence is quotable, he wasn't referring to it in the way that this article suggests. Zordrac 09:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Asgard legionnaires

[edit]

Band vanity... no evidence that they pass WP:MUSIC. The one thing that might be worthy of discussion is the claim that they are the first metal band to release anything (apparently a demo) in Doha. Honestly, I don't know if that's meaningful in and of itself... it certainly would be if they were signed to a reputable label, etc. But other evidence points more towards the typical story of a high school band that had some fun then the members grew up and the band split up ([10], they are broken up now) still with apparently no label releases. Not on AMG, very little on Google (though that's understandable since they're based in Qatar). The author's other contributions are mostly vandalism, but that is just of minor interest here. --W.marsh 00:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as non-notable. Ifnord 05:30, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as band vanity, no tours, no records. Herostratus 09:14, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. First of something is automatically notable. If they are truly the first such band from Doha, then they need to stay. Good old google with its 598 hits gives me a good starting spot. And here you go with a review. Might need some more verification, but we're not getting it from google. But the claims make it notable enough. Zordrac 09:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: First of something can be significant, but it depends, in a way, on whether it's a something that sets examples and paves the way. There isn't any evidence that there is now a Doha metal scene, nor that this is a venerated trailblazer. The band appears to have remained undistributed and uncharted. Geogre 12:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Given that WP:MUSIC is a guideline and not a policy, this is perhaps a great example of why it should remain a guideline - here's a band that doesn't fit WP:MUSIC, but is notable due to its significance of being the first band from Doha. Perhaps WP:MUSIC is the wrong rationale to judge them. Anyways, keep assuming proper verification. --badlydrawnjeff 14:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I just don't know that being the "first" band is automatically notable without A) verification and B) any sign that being the first band had an impact. Say I formed a band in 1987 and billed it as the first death metal band in Kentucky... more people live here than in Doha. But we played a few shows in people's basements, had no releases, didn't spur a scene, no one really remembers us. Would we be notable? I think not... just typical band vanity. Now evidence that they had an impact on the music scene is obviously going to be harder to come by, becase they're in Qatar, not Kentucky. But still... considering the lack of releases, verification and the way this fits the typical high school band mold... --W.marsh 16:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Well, right, you said exactly the thing: It's Qatar, not Kentucky. Of course verification is important, and I'm adjusting my vote to reflect that as I should have before. Notability because of the culture and inherent impact is, IMO, important. --badlydrawnjeff 16:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Popularity is not everything. A lot of unpopular things have historical importance because of being the first of something - even if they did not subsequently influence anything. Firsts that influenced culture, like for example AC/DC was significant not due to its popularity (it wasn't all THAT popular) but because it was the first ever heavy metal band in Australia, whilst less popular bands such as Carcus (band) were if anything more influential because of being the first death metal band in the world, in spite of popularity. I can think of so many examples of hardly heard of things that are important because of being the first, and having historical importance. Zordrac 18:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, I would suggest that hardly heard of things with historical relevance is precisely what an encyclopaedia is there for. If its something that we already know about, then we don't need to look it up, do we? I mean, who cares about looking up about ICQ? We already know about it because its enormously popular, well known, etc. You might care about the intricacies of how it came about or something, but other than that, who cares? I am much more interested in hearing about less heard-of things like about a planemo to describe Pluto and the 10th planet, or about that woman who was a natural conductor of electricity, because then we are learning something new. IMO those things are much more encyclopaedic than a popular thing such as ICQ. Zordrac
All of this is true, but the bottom line is that something actually has to have an influence, even if it's obscure to popular culture.

Not really, leaving the company soon, just whacked in whatever was in the company website.

What exactly are you allowed to have about a company here? I looked at a couple of other ones, but not sure what wikipedia defines as 'advertising'.

Delete if you see fit.

  • Well, definitely not copying the website, that could be copyright violation on top of advertising. Policies are found at WP:CORP and WP:NOT. Frankly, though, an entry by the company would likely be viewed as advertising regardless.

I got tired of trying to figure this one out so at this stage I am abstaining. I need some rest. However, if the claims are true, its a definite keep in my books. National champion at the age of 18 sounds notable. I don't know if you guys remember a fellow by the name of Ian Thorpe, or perhaps Kieran Perkins. Both of those were enormously notable for being national champions - because Australia was the best nation in the world at swimming at the time, and they had a chance of then being world champions. Korea, of course, is one of the best at wrestling. If its true, and he's done that much at 18, then he's notable in my books. Zordrac 09:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

If his name is, for example "Ryan James Lewis", and that comes up with 20,000 google hits by that name, then we have verification. The word "Lewis" combined with any kind of athletics combination or olympics comes up with millions of hits. Whilst these are dominated by Carl Lewis it is quite feasible that a "Ryan James Lewis"" or whatever his name is, is part of that. Therefore, I don't think we can say absolutely that the claims are false. Zordrac 18:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Roller coasters aren't inherently notable enough for inclusion in an encyclopedia and this one isn't much more notable than any other coaster. New rides are frequently the fastest, or the highest, or have the most loops when they first open, but they are usually surpassed in a few months or years because the industry is extremely competitive. I have a hard time thinking of anything that could make a roller coaster notable enough to be in an encyclopedia. For me, it would have to be the first of a type of coaster, the most visited ride in the nation, the oldest coaster in operation or cause a large number of deaths. -- Kjkolb 11:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Aaron LaBerge

[edit]

Delete I'm just not convinced that he is notable enough to be worth an encyclopedia entry. It's not as if he's being said to have made any innovations, nor is in a position to make policy for his company. Caerwine 04:46, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as per nom. I have suspicions the article was written by a LaBerge family member Bwithh 05:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Corporate officers are not inherently notable. FCYTravis 05:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - meets WP:WEB with lots of media coverage. [20], [21], [22], and ESPN is a major company. Vice President of a major fortune 500 company makes him notable, I dare say. He's probably earning $1 million per year. Zordrac
    • Comment A million dollars ain't what it used to be. . WP:WEB doesn't apply here in my opinion, tho it would for the website, but it's the article on him, not the website that's being nominated. Caerwine 22:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply Meets WP:BIO by the exact same criteria that is in both policies. Out of WP:BIO, "Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events". Same thing but written differently. Zordrac 23:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Response What newsworthy event is he alledged to have participated in? The 82 hits mentioned below are not a particularly notable number, especially for a modern person who makes his living working with computers. At best, this guy appears to warrant a mention on the ESPN.com article, if it were a separate article and not a redirect to ESPN, and even then that would be shaky since he appears to have nothing to do with the content side of the operation. Caerwine 23:13, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. 82 Google hits for the Aaron Laberge at ESPN/Disney. There is an Aaron Laberge who posts a lot in forums and such, but the posts don't sound like an executive. They may be from his son. -- Dalbury(Talk) 23:00, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Joan of Arc. Owen× ☎ 21:31, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Geoffroy Therage

[edit]

The entire stub is redundant and cannot grow. This was Joan of Arc's executioner. He was merely the man who carried out the sentence, not anyone involved in the decision. The only document that mentions his existence is her retrial transcript and his one quote, that he feared damnation for having burned a saint, is already repeated in the main Joan of Arc article. Durova 04:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A redirect is unnecessary because there is barely enough historical data about this man to constitute a footnote. It is rather unusual that Wikipedia names him at all. I have never seen a biography that indexed his name. Durova 14:21, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think it matters a lot, but I'm sticking to my guns, on the basis of, shrug, "what harm does it do?" We're told that redirects are cheap, and it's a real historical person, etc. etc. I'm probably wrong, but I have a faint, faint synaptic firing that says maybe I've heard the name somewhere. However, the only likely places are Shaw's Saint Joan and Mark Twain's Personal Recollections of Joan of Arc. I just did an online search of the PG text of the Twain book [23] [24] and the executioner is not named, only referred to as "the executioner." Deletion would probably do no harm since a search would find the Joan of Arc article. In fact most Google hits on "Geoffroy Therage" are to copies of the Wikipedia article on Joan of Arc. So, it doesn't matter... but I can't think of any particular reason to change my vote. Dpbsmith (talk) 21:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The_Skeptic's_Annotated_Bible

[edit]

Not notable, somewhat of a vanity page Mark K. Bilbo 05:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I question the inclusion of this article. The SAB is somewhat known in online atheist communities (I'm a regular at alt.atheism on Usenet by the way) and you find a number Google hits but it's still something of a "local" phenomena. It's not all that well regarded and certainly isn't viewed as a scholarly work. The SAB is already cited at Inerrancy and, I think, that's sufficient for a non-peer reviewed, purely web phenomena. The traffic in Alexa isn't terribly high and the discussion forum at SAB has attracted only about 480 users. If somebody wanted to take a crack at it (I'll pass), it might be worth merging into an article of "contemporary" online Biblical criticism works but I just can't--myself--see it having its own article. Mark K. Bilbo 05:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as per nom. Seems like small potatos and not particulary scholarly. A mention in inerrancy seems more than enough. David D. (Talk) 05:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral Currently reads like spam. Probably notable but only if it can be cleaned up. Regards, Ben Aveling 05:36, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Whether or not it's fantastic scholarship, this book gets over 100,000 Google hits. Looking at the talk page and history it's pretty clear that this article is the victim of more nonsense from Jason Gastrich. The proper solution is page protection. Durova 05:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Neutral. I remember coming across this years and years ago and reading a fair chunk of it, but I can't remember any mention of it in the past few years (probably because I stopped reading philosophical debates on forums back in high school). The atheist in me wants to keep it as a notable atheist website based on that, though. Nifboy 06:02, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. SAB comes up regularly in online discussion of Christianity - most people with an interest in biblical errors/inerrancy arguments will have heard of it, I think. It's scholarship is shoddy, but that isn't a reason for deletion of the article about it. I don't think it is fair to describe it as a vanity page, either - there is no evidence that the site author wrote the article, and a variety of people have been editing it back and forth. SAB is 'cited' at Inerrancy only as one of about forty links at the bottom of an already-long article. It merits it's own pageSquiddy 07:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. SAB is very well known on the internet and has been around for years. It's a good athiest resource if that's the type of thing you're looking for. JHMM13 08:31, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Never really thought about its notability before, but I've used it plenty of times. And <Jonathon Ross voice> can we have a big welcome back to Mr Jason Gastwich?</Jonathon Ross voice> --Last Malthusian 13:16, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Well, just in case there's confusion, I'm an atheist, a known regular of alt.atheism, the host of the alt-atheism.org website, and Gastrich thinks I'm in some "conspiracy" to wipe Christianity off the Internet or something equally silly. I'm seriously questioning whether the SAB is notable enough to have a separate article of it's own. Mark K. Bilbo 13:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Comment Just in case there's confusion, I wasn't suggesting that you were Jason Gastrich, just that (per Durova's comments) his cold hand seems to be resting on AfD's shoulders again. --Last Malthusian 16:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment Except it's not even that. Actually, it came out of a question by another user--who is definitely not Gastrich--of whether the SAB is notable enough to have a page and my own attempt to defend the SAB sounded pretty weak in my own ears. Even with my own personal bias of being an atheist I couldn't come up with much to defend the SAB having an article of its own. Mark K. Bilbo 17:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Let me try a defense: I have voted for inclusion on articles of much lesser notability, whether or not I liked the concept embodied. 100,000 Google hits is a very large number. I don't believe we're in any danger of lowering the bar here to include all books. This one happens to be widely read and widely commented upon. Someone who has heard of it might well look to Wikipedia as a source of information. The article can list the book's strengths and weaknesses in a nonbiased manner. Given the subject, few other well known sources can be counted upon for neutrality. Durova 19:11, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • Interesting. In six or seven years of being one of the loud mouths on alt.atheism and running generally amok in the online atheist community, I've rarely seen a reference to it. In fact, the most attention I can recall being paid to it comes from Gastrich (who seems quite obsessed with it). I just still can't see it having its own article. It's already cited in Inerrancy and Alleged_inconsistencies_in_the_Bible (maybe some other places I'm not aware of). That seems about right to me. Mark K. Bilbo 23:52, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom, imagine if encyclopedias listed every published work of any note, at all. Despite its generally use and fame (or notoriety, if you will), it really isn't a significant work of scholarly examination. - WarriorScribe 14:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • But Wikipedia is not paper. Durova 16:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • True, but not really relevant to my point. In the meantime, a database can become burdened with superfluous or unnecessary information, and those things may infect the integrity and use of the database, as well as its performance.
        • It could hardly be more relevant. There is no need to delete this, we have room for obscure topics, even if this were one. And don't talk about burdening the database; if this article is deleted, they'll archive this discussion and keep a copy of the article open to sysops, taking up just as much space. Yeltensic42.618 03:01, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Merge. Conflicted, but it doesn't seem notable enough for an article on its own. Best to make it a note in an article discussing criticisms. --StuffOfInterest 16:25, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep as it has historical importance. Should be linked from debates about the bible etc as well as atheism and the like. Zordrac 19:40, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Historical importance? On what grounds? Would you care to cite some world events that have been shaped by the Skeptic's Annotated Bible? Has it perhaps been a central text in the Intelligent Design debates, or did it directly lead to the Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, or what? — Haeleth Talk 23:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete/merge. Nothing against the subject-matter as such, but I'm not sure why it deserves an article of its own. This would be well placed in a broader article on critical editions of scripture: there must be other things of the same kind out there. — Haeleth Talk 23:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep. Sure, it's not the most scholarly work out there, but it certainly has a sufficient amount of notability. Anyone ever hit Random Article and see stuff that seems trivial that is kept because it's worthy of inclusion? Anyone ever notice the large section on comics or TV shows? This is worthy of inclusion.Harvestdancer 00:26, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's well-known enough to be worthy of inclusion. Rose 02:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abstain. However, if the SAB is notable enough to have an entry, then a paragraph on rebuttals (namely, the two full rebuttals) are obviously notable as well. --Jason Gastrich 08:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's possible, almost certain, that the SAB is more notable than any rebuttal of it. But if it's worth mentioning that people have written rebuttals, then it's worth mentioning the rebuttals. Regards, Ben Aveling 09:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As I mentioned Here there could be many rebuttals. It's worth mentioning rebuttals exist, but to specifically mention any rebuttal means that the rebuttal has to be notable enough. If this article is kept, we need a way to decide which rebuttals are worth specific mention and which would be covered by the sentence "The website has particularly riled Christian fundamentalists who believe in the inerrancy of the Bible, and some have responded with apologetics." Most of the alleged rebuttals are covered by that one sentence.Harvestdancer 15:34, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment On the same note, it might be said that the "Skeptics Bible" could also be referred to the same way in one sentence at the bible article. --DanielCD 21:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I did say "most of the alleged rebuttals". My point was that ones noteworthy enough deserve their own metion. Harvestdancer 00:22, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I mean, really, unless we're dealing with garbled gibberish text, a hoax, a string of inane comments, or a vanity page for some insignificant loser like me, there's no point in deleting a page...if you don't think it's important enough, just don't read it. Don't ruin it for the rest of us who want to read about it. Wikipedia is not paper; there is plenty of room for more obscure topics. Yeltensic42.618 20:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep 110,000 google hits with the quotes. This is clearly notable. Would you delete just anything because YOU haven't heard of it?? OK, it's mostly vanity, but what we do with notable vanity articles is NPOV, not delete. Jules.LT 18:00, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Davey Morgan

[edit]

Vanity page. The author is Davey Morgan. I'm unsure whether this organization is notable, but Davey sure isn't. Deco 05:28, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]


  • The organization is very notable, if you would check the below links, you will find other references to the Euphemian Literary Society.
Links:
- Davey Morgan


If you will go here: Euphemian Members Page you will find that Davey Morgan is noteable.

01:01, 29 November 2005 (GMT)

I haven't read the WPBIO thing yet, but the Euphemian Literary Society is very noteable. It is one of the most profound liteterary societies in the US in which Robert E. Lee was himself an honorary member! You can search www.google.com yourself and find it listed many times and you can search erskine.edu and find it. The society has had a big impact on history.


  • It seems someone went ahead and speedy-deleted it. I don't contest that the ELS might be notable, and there is a possibility that Davey wrote the content of that website being the ELS historian. But Davey himself is clearly not notable if his only claim to fame is an honorary, temporary position in a student organization. Deco 06:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you very much, but I am not a honorary temporary position in an organization, but the official webmaster for the organization and the historian. I was appointed the position and had to qualify to become a member, in which I will always be the member, because I am an Erskine College faculty.

  • As a yet-to-be-released software product, I would say delete. However, I tend to consider this article as a description of a completed research project: the authors have published some papers on their system [25] (one of them has been presented at CHI 2003, which I think is an important conference in the field of Human-Computer Interaction). Actually, it's just a matter of point of view.

Domination Through Impurity

[edit]

Garden-variety band vanity. 66.191.124.236 05:48, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Band vanity. No claim of notability. Herostratus 08:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - I was going to vote delete because they haven't been published, but they meet WP:WEB quite happily due to media coverage. [26]. I would suggest that in cases like this WP:MUSIC, which states that a band has to be published, shouldn't be used, as they seem to be notable enough as a live band. This is a similar case to Fugazi and You Am I, 2 extremely well known live bands that were known as live bands for 10 years before releasing their first albums (Fugazi never released an album AFAIK). You Am I eventually had number 1 hits. The reality is that some bands don't want to make a studio album and only ever play live. Many examples of this kind of thing. There's ABBA impersonators that are extremely notable that get 50,000 people at their gigs, yet never release anything. Zordrac 19:54, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Unrelated to the article, but Fugazi hella released albums. :) Peachlette 04:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Wrong Fugazi. The one I am referring to never released an album after 15 years on the national circuit (or a single, either). Wrote over 50 songs though and played to crowds of 50,000+ Zordrac (talk) Wishy Washy Darwikinian Eventualist 17:18, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
2 notes to my comments - 1) Apparently Fugazi doesn't have their own page (hmph, they should!) 2) Apparently this band does have published albums so may meet WP:MUSIC anyway. Zordrac 19:57, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - how exactly does this article have anything to do with WP:WEB? That would only apply if the URL was the entry. Sadly, even the link you provided does not confirm any of the three WP:WEB suggestions HackJandy 22:01, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Erm, reviewed in the media? Sheesh. Obvious as you're gonna get. Zordrac 22:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I see blogs and I see webzines, but I don't see any attention from the mainstream media. Unfortunately we don't generally count web mentions as establishing notability of a band, except in certain cases like Allmusic. And this band doesn't appear on Allmusic. — Haeleth Talk 23:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The above contributor is the originator (I won't say "author") of the article, which, as mentioned above, is copy'n'pasted from the band's website. I have no argument about the band's notability, but the article could document which label, which festivals, etc. As it stands, though, it's a copyright violation, it's not wikified, and it has no sourcing of any kind except for the band's website. It's gotta be better than that. rodii 02:07, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I can't vote again, but may I say, if band has a record produced on a label, tours and plays various festivals then WHY DOESN'T THE ARTICLE SAY SO??? WHAT LABEL, WHAT TOURS, WHAT FESTIVALS? Even if it IS true, I'm basically at the point where, if a band is too freaken lazy to make their OWN case for notability, why should I have to slog through the web to find it? I say: even if a band is notable, if they don't make the claim in the article, the hell with them.Herostratus 08:45, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. the band did not write this article. I am a fan of the band, and I was merely adding a side project for one of the members from the Nile page, and I decided to add information for it. I took the bio from their website and didn't change anything because I didn't realize 10 people would see it over night before I had time to learn how to properly use wikipedia and edit and add to the content. also this is from WP:MUSIC "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such." From this, DTI is allowed to be posted here because Joe Payne from Nile is in this band. (Cyrock)

      • Comment Allmusic.com is rather cryptic about Joe Payne; his genre is rock, and absolutely no other information. I get 262 Google hits for "Joe Payne" + Nile. I don't think that makes him "extremely notable". -- Dalbury(Talk) 02:05, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Comment Has nothing to do with him. The Guideline says "member was in a BAND that is extremely notable. Nile is one of the most known death metal bands other than Cannibal Corpse. Thus, according to my previous statement, this article is allowed. Also allmusic is not very up to date and correct. They list Nile as Rock, when they are Death Metal, and do not mention their latest album which came out 8 months ago. (Cyrock)
          • Comment. You forgot to quote the rest of the line from WP:MUSIC, "note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such." Right now it looks like Joe Payne's notability comes from recently joining a notable band, and I don't see that notability rubbing off on Domination Through Impurity. When Joe Payne gets his own article, then there can be a Redirect from Domination Through Impurity to his article. -- Dalbury(Talk) 02:29, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
            • Comment. Open your eyes. You forgot to read. I quoted the ENTIRE thing in my original post on it. Stop trying to make things up to further your own arguement. Also until it clearly says an Artist needs to be "extremely notable" before joining an "extremely noteable" band, this article is clearly able to be posted. It only says the BAND of which the artist is in has to be. Also your personal opinion on Nile "rubbing off" on DTI has ZERO credibility. Your personal opinion is not fact. I can just as easily say it will "rub off". (Cyrock)
              • Comment. Cyrock, sorry, I didn't mean to pile on you like that. I was getting a little frustrated after seeing a bunch of really poor band articles. The D through I article is improved, by the way, good work and congrats. It must suck to have a bumch of people piling on you when you're just starting out. Sorry, and welcome to Wikipedia! Unfortunately getting caught up in a deletion argument is probably the worst way to start out! There's a lot of fuzzy warm goodness here too, so don't get scared off!

Jag är Ipren - Den intelligenta värktabletten

Only 960 hits on Google, and none of those seem to be in English. Delete as a non-notable foreign something rather. JHMM13 08:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Further Comment. A google search for Ipren gives 41,400 results. This is a Swedish ibuprofen. Redirect as such. - Randwicked 09:07, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Judging from the title, this is not primarily intended to be about the pharmaceutical, but about the TV commercial that comes with it. This explains the relatively few Google hits - "Jag är Ipren - Den intelligenta värktabletten" ("I am Ipren - the intelligent painkiller") is an exact quote from the song sung by the dorky man dressed as a pill, the "Ipren man" (in the picture). It is a notable campaign in Sweden. I don't know what the policy is on articles on TV commercials, but since this isn't really an article to begin with, I vote delete. If somebody is willing to write a decent stub, I would reconsider. Ipren could be redirected to Ibuprofen (but it is now a redirect to Irpin' for reasons not explained in that article). I am skeptical to redirecting this whole phrase. u p p l a n d 10:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nikhil joshi

[edit]

Unwikified vanity; context shows the artist might be of note but the majority of this article is unsalvageable. Erath 09:59, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I do not know who is Nikhil joshi. But this is not the only article in wikipedia to have such text and tenor. Why single out this article. Some articles for administrators themselves look no different. But may be wikipedia has a silent ownership and there are more equals among equals. When individuals are profiled, there will be some contents to manifest like vanity - but outlooks are mostly subjective. Modify, moderate, do anything but don't kill information. sum

I didn't "single out" this article because of its content. I would nominate any similar article for deletion. The article is a vanity page for a non-notable person and a copy-violation from his own website, according to the votes above, which are fairly unanimous. I appreciate your concerns but I feel consensus will show this kind of article is not welcome at Wikipedia. Erath 17:04, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Galvin Family, the

[edit]

No indication why this family is notable, seems to be just a vanity page StoatBringer 12:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. PJM 12:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as non-notable. Looks like it was taken from one of those bogus "buy your family shield" kiosks. Coat of arms belonged to an individual, not a family. Ifnord 15:15, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Preserve The Galvin family used to be rulers of southern provinces of Ireland, such as Dungarvan and Youghal. Also, a sect of the Galvin Family are the founders of the communications giant Motorola. Also, the Galvin's are high ranking officials in the American health system, one being Chief of Physiotheraphy for the AHA. A member of the Galvin family was in the English national football team in the early 1900s. Daniel Galvin, world renowned hairdress, is 'World Hair Colourist of the Year' and is a powerful force in fashion from London, and ever increasingly, the world. Another thing of 'notable' worth is that a Galvin was the very first soldier to paratroop into Holland after Operation Market Garden was commenced.

Also, I think there is no information here that would serve as 'vanity'. As the site says itself "Many visitors come to this site to acquire knowledge. The second reason is to share knowledge." I am merely sharing knowledge, and now people may, if desired, which I'm sure people will desire, to read the article. It is not MY article, it is a article for other Galvin's around the world, of which there are many, and anyone else for that matter to find more on there background and be educated in its long and notable History.

As well as this, I had not finished this article and I did intend to add 'notable's' and such like.

As for calling the family shield bogus, I have official documentation that says otherwise, and dozens of NON PROFIT sites also show the coat of arms. It is a part of FAMILY history, not for INDIVIDUAL profit

  • Delete. I've had a good think about this. There are notable families, such as the Kennedy family. I might even accept this article if it were about the ancestral rulers in Ireland (though I would imagine Galvin clan might be a better article title in that case). But it's stretching the definition of "family" too far to claim that everyone with the same surname is part of a single family that is per se encyclopedic because some of its members are. Any individual Galvins who are notable should have their own article, as some of them do. --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 12:04, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The word family can and does mean 'A group of persons sharing common ancestry.' or 'Lineage' so actually the phraseology is correct. I have also expanded this article to include the notables, or the 'distinguised lineage'. As for the Notables, they are all proper and correct, and worthy of being notable. As 'notable' means 'Worthy of note or notice' and for those looking upon on FAMILY ancestory, they are notables, or for those just browsing Wikipedia in general. So, the arguements that this is vanity is incorrect, as it serves no egotistical purpose, but a insightful one. And if you look up to the bit I posted earlier as to what Wikipedia is about, some of you seem to have forgotten, as it is there help people "accquire knowledge" and thats what this article does. Not to serve as a vanity article, as vanity is pride in ones own accomplishments, and the accomplishments of Galvin ancestors are not my accomplishments, but theirs. Also, it does now contain notables and the phraseology within the article is perfectly correct and proper. EDITED Alexius05 12:25, 1 December 2005
  • Comment Considering every 'delete' comment here has been totally proved worthless and idiotic, I think it's been about time we close this discussion. Yes. unsigned comment by Alexius05
As stated on Wikipedia:Deletion policy, in the normal course of things this discussion should last five days, and it will be down to the administrator who closes the debate to decide on the worth or otherwise of the arguments here. "Vanity" - only mentioned as a reason for deletion by one person - is sometimes used as shorthand for "articles in which someone has a personal stake", such as someone writing about their own website, company, family, etc. And the fact that you had earlier created a (speedy deleted) article on Alex galvin probably didn't help matters. Had you actually bothered to engage with people rather than dismissing them as "idiotic", you might have got further (I nearly voted to keep this). --OpenToppedBus - Talk to the driver 16:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment to OpenToppedBus. I sincerely apologise, however, the sheer number of lamentable comments have aggravated me as all comments have been responded to and though they may have been useful, they are now outdated(referring to the comments such as StoatBringers) or are and were incorrect (such as Ifnords). As for the call for personal family member pages, from a variety of you, do you really think I'm going to start upon them when I get a veto upon the creatin of this page (designed to be the root of the member pages). The idea seems almost hypocritical at this moment in time. Also, despite this, there are already several notable pages linking the Galvin name, links which are on the page.

Anti-Penny Orginization

[edit]

Unverifiable (see WP:V), and does not contain an assertion of notability, since no activities or members other than the founder are mentioned. Chick Bowen 17:18, 23 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I find a pro-penny organization[36], that seems concerned about anti-penny groups. I didn't find an anti-penny org, but I'm sure one exists as I've heard their literature somewhere. I believe for a time Rush Limbaugh was a force in opposition to the penny which made it news in the early 90s. Although this group might be fraudulent, I don't know.--T. Anthony 12:44, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There was another called "Penny Love America", but it just seemed to indicate "people want to get rid of the penny" without any naming of any specific organization. It mostly just named pundits.--T. Anthony 12:47, 24 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Its an article about a non-profit organisation that does a number of things for the community, including providinng a free meal every week to 300-400 people in need. One of the reasons why there are not links to this website from others is because the website hasn't been up for that long. Thx Kingyj 20:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep I just did a bit of a cleanup though it still needs some work. I think it's an important and notable mp3 blog that's gaining buckets of popularity with every passing day. It's been mentioned in the press (ok, just a tiny bit but it is something) and is a big part of the community. The word itself is interesting as well if its use kicks off. It's not quite as popular as something like Fluxblog but it's getting there. I'm slightly biased because I'm a reader (though don't know the author personally or anything like that) but I think it should stay if we're to have articles on mp3 blogs or other such websites at all.

Hammertime

[edit]

This definition of Hammertime looks like an inside joke or hoax. I just graduated from NYU law, where this phrase is supposedly popular, and I never heard of it. "Hammertime" might eventually deserve a page, if someone feels like doing a doctoral thesis on M.C. Hammer or Super Mario's Hammer Brothers, but I don't think Wiki should cover something that's basically a blog entry. Mareino 16:05, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fair point, I guess. I heard it from other 1L sections when I arrived at NYU Law. Supposedly it came from other schools, but I don't know which ones, so I said on the post its origins are unclear. Since it is a universal concept with no name, I thought it was worth posting it on here. Plus, I've heard it used in my own sections and it seems to be catching on quick. Thanks for the post. Wwjdd 02:50, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am currently a student at NYU law school and have heard the phrase "Hammertime" on several occasions, particularly right after (and sometimes during) the 120+ minute procedure class I'm taking that is scheduled to be 110 minutes long. I am not sure of the phrase's origins either, but have been told that it describes the extra time that a student (especially one who is being questioned as a class draws to a scheduled end) is on the spot as s/he is being "pounded" (or "hammered") with questions. This makes sense to me, as law schools in general are known for the use of socratic questioning. As far as it's popularity, I have noticed that the phrase is known mostly to students who have such professors, and the fact that a student (even one at NYU law) has gone through school without hearing it may simply mean that the student has not had such professors. I also have no idea when it started being used. Forgot to sign, sorry. Mp1639 03:24, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lithuanian settlemets in U.S. in early 1900's

[edit]

Probable hoax. Article was created by an anonymous contributor during a spurt of other edits that were quickly reverted as inappropriate or vandalism. The article also makes several claims that appear dubious at first glance such as the settlements being safe havens against their members being burned for performing "dark magic" at a time when witchcraft was not typically illegal or that the settlements formed suburbs before the time when transportation advances made suburbs practical.

List of Caucasian Americans

Yet more pointless listcruft, impossible of maintenance, disputable as to usefulness and dubious of intent. Tonywalton  | Talk 19:23, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this version is just plain silly. A list for Americans whose ancestry traces back to the Caucasus region might be useful, but even that is doubtful. Caerwine 19:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'd be interested to know what you meant there - I think a typo monster ate it. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:34, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I see there is a Category:English Americans. I shouldn't be here, but I'll work on a kind of list from that.--T. Anthony 10:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

              • Problem with ALL of those groupings is that not every white person fits them. For instance take myself. I'm white... but I'm none of those sub classes. Granted my ancestors were English, Irish, German, French, Dutch, Belgian, Native American, and Scandinavian... but I don't identify with ANY of those groups as the blood is too diluted. I'm simply Caucasian(White).Gateman1997 19:40, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Although on consideration we don't have a list of Americans based on ancestry from the Caucasus. There is no List of Armenian Americans, List of Georgian Americans, or List of Azeri Americans. If the list is limited to that it could be useful, albeit confusing.--T. Anthony 06:46, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak Keep. Probably WP:POINT, but Gateman1997 says it best. Either keep them all or delete them all for consistency. HackJandy 21:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC) * I am a major contributor to this page now. Striking my vote HackJandy 11:15, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete on the basis that this is simply too broad a category that is unmaintainable, and potentially could have hundreds of millions of names. And do you include caucasians who immigrate to the US from Canada? The UK? What's the criteria. Forget it -- too, too broad. If one wants to split it up into less broad categories -- and if similar categories have been OK'd for other races -- then fine. 23skidoo 21:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment And what of African Candians who have moved for the US? Would you have issue placing them in the List of African Americans? Would a Jewish Canadian who became a citizen of the US not belong on List of Jewish Americans? There are proportionally 6 times as many people who consider themselves "White" than "Black" according to the 2000 US census. The List of African Americans seems quite managemeable in its current state, and a list six times that size would certainly not contain "hundreds of millions of names. In fact, there are only 200M Cuacasians living in the US today. The fact is only a very small fraction of a percent are noteable. HackJandy 08:21, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete with extreme prejudice - an overly broad category with only five people in the list? It comes across as a joke page, or possibly an attempt at satire. 147.70.242.21 22:39, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep and stub. No matter how you personally might think, if we have a list of african americans etc, then we cannot deny a list of caucasian americans, or else we are being racist. Yes, the list is small, but articles are rarely complete when they are first made. Zordrac 23:32, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep As stated above, if we have a list of African Americans then we should have a list of Caucasian Americans. Deleting this article and keeping the African one would be racist. Jtrost 23:43, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Edit with exteme prejudice limiting the list to notable Americans who actually trace ancestry to the Caucasus region. Durova 00:02, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed. If that's not done Delete as redundant. I mean really these "Lists of Americans" cover "Caucasian America", in the sense of white America, as well as seems reasonable. Maybe more then seems reasonable even.--T. Anthony 12:27, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I voted delete, but does this mean a List of Caucasian Africans would work?--T. Anthony 15:35, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Emphatic delete - this (and similarly-named) list is a meaningless exercise in futility. It fails on several fronts:

1) The definition of the "races" is dubious at best (we all have descended from Africans. Some came to the US after Europe, after Asia, etc.). In many contexts, it is a political, not a social or genetic, difference.

2) The distinction between races is also arbitrary at best. As late as the 1980s (maybe later, but I'm not sure), Louisiana State law required a placement of "Black" on a person's driver's license - regardless of appearance - if the person is at least 1/32 black. Do Paula Abdul, Mariah Carey, and Halle Berry make this article? All have ancestors who lived in Europe.

3) The name of the article - List of Caucasian Americans - is much too vague. Who is going to visit the hospitals on an hourly basis to keep the list up to date?

4) And if you think my question in #3 is silly, so is the idea of having even a Partial list of Caucasian Americans... and I also extend that argument to any "List of **** Americans" on Wikipedia for that same reason. Adding "notable" or "famous" might not make it better, but the title should mention why the individuals on the list deserve to be singled out on Wikipedia besides their so-called race.

5) As far as I am concerned, there is only one race of people on Earth: the human race.

B.Wind 00:11, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • 1) Your feelings on race are irrelevant in the eyes of most governments on the face of this planet. I agree we're all humans when it comes down to it... but that's not the way our governments see it. 2) And the distinction is ambiguous to a point, however as you point out there are limits placed on what constitutes a race for a person. However for the sake of this list Hallie Berry could make a case for being put on it. 3) The name of the list is also just as it should be. To be on Wikipedia a person has to be notable per WP:BIO so to make the list it is implied a person is notable. 4)Point three isn't silly, just misinformed. 5) As I said in point one, the US, Canadian, UK, French, Russian, South African, etc, etc... governments disagree with you.Gateman1997 06:27, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment B.Wind, with regard to number 2. Paula Abdul is 1/2 of Jewish American. Mariah Carey is 1/2 Irish American. Halle Berry is 1/2 English American. Race, just like religion, seems to be in the eye of the beholder. Halle Berry, for example, would probably take issue being called Caucasian even if she is 1/2 white (url). On the other hand, why would it matter if she is labeled on both the Caucasian page and African American page anyway? Both are correct. HackJandy 08:10, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment on above. While I've already voted to delete, I have to take issue with #3 and #4: Wikipedia already spells out that lists do not need to be named "List of famous ...", it is implied by being here that the list is of notable people (e.g. List of vegetarians) Turnstep 03:07, 4 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

      • Hi. Oh the whole Vfd thing was bringing me down. For the record, I really do say Schwhoa. Sometimes its nice to bring in a perspective there. I know, its not enough reason for it to stay, but I hate to see things be unanimously deleted when they were good faith. I have been trying to think which philosophy most describes me. I was looking at the different ones. I was going to say inclusionist, but not really. I've been voting 50/50, and some articles really annoy me, and I often vote delete when everyone else votes keep. I guess I tend to like to disprove common misconceptions. i.e. if everyone is voting keep, I am more likely to want to vote delete, and vice versa. Of course, that doesn't mean I will go against everyone. I was spending ages on these votes, and I got too tired. Its tiring to do research on every single damn vote. That Asgaard one should stay there, no question in my mind over that one. But this one, well, who cares. I presume you are referring to Hammertime as the other one. Similar kind of vote to this one. I wasn't lying, but you're right, I wasn't researching things like I normally do. Sometimes this is just so tiring, you know? Zordrac 05:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: there are even three interwiki links. The Dutch one is the source for this article, which is a straightforward translation of a text that our Dutch comrades appear to consider unobjectionable. The Czech Wikipedia appears only to discuss the conlangs; the Polish Wikipedia article linked to here is on the conlangs, but it has what I'm 90% certain is a stub on the real language group at pl:Języki północnosłowiańskie. — Haeleth Talk 01:16, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, of course. Easy for me to say that, since I wrote it. In this article, I was merely trying to describe a phenomenon: the fact that the term "North Slavic" is used for three different phenomena - the grouping of East and West Slavic together under the header "North Slavic" (you don't believe me? Google for it), the fact that there are scientists who believe a North Slavic branch does exist, or has existed (I'll look for sources), and a group of conlangs based on that last premise. As for the conlangs: I agree that the languages mentioned there are not notable enough to warrant articles on their own (viz. wikipedia.pl, which has individual articles about no less than six of them!). We've had many discussions already about merging articles like that into one, and in this case I simply decided to do that in advance. While the languages mentioned may not be notable enough on their own, they certainly are as a group. That has nothing to do with "wikipedia being a vehicle for their promotion". BTW, the languages in question are all artlangs, so there's really nothing to promote here. --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 08:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    I am very well aware of that tradition. I am also very well aware of the fact that notability is by no means a commonly accepted criterion. But like I said, I do personally believe that it should be a factor. And therefore, I have explicitly not created articles about individual languages, nor do I intend to. But as a conlang subgroup, ánd as a scientific phenomenon (albeit a slightly marginal one) it most certainly has a certain amount a notability. --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 10:04, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

[edit]

I am surprized why people keep ignoring that the main issue with wikipedia is wikipedia:Verifiability. I am not at all against fringe theories here, but the more obscure subject is covered, the better it must be referenced.

We have plenty of trolls here to invent nations and languages. For example not long time ago Black Ruthenian language was created several times. (and BTW the waves of this hoax are still on net; e.g. at a website that sells cars: Black_Ruthenian_language). I suggest you to take a look at it and see that this one was written with love and care, much better that the article we are discussing.

Threfore rather than poking at my ignorance you better provide solid references. I tried to search web, but the traces of the term (in non-toy usage) were very weak to convince me in its notability. mikka (t) 20:03, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am surprized that, when searching the web, you didn't find this or this publication by prof. Kortlandt, who does use the term North Slavic. Kortlandt can hardly be viewed as a marginal reference. The former reference was on the first google page when I searched for "North Slavic". Xyboi 20:17, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, Kortlandt is one of the sources I had in mind. And here's another reference (regarding the use of "North Slavic" vs. for "East ánd West Slavic" vs. "South Slavic"):
Bernard Comrie & Greville G. Corbett, The Slavonic languages (London, 1993), p. 75, pp. 115-119 and several other places in the same book. An authoritative source, if I may say so.
The existence of the North Slavic constructed languages is obvious enough and needs not to be proven here. If the many references on the web are not good enough for you, the article written by Prof. Tilman Berger definitely should be!
As for the alledged North Slavic background of the Novgorod dialect: I know there are sources for that too, but I can't recall them offhand now. I'll look into that.
Satisfied now? Instead of displaying such a condescending attitude, you might as well have asked these questions before issuing a VFD against the article. I'm not exactly a newbie in wikiland, but let me tell you this: if this is the way potentially prolific new wikipedians are normally dealt with after they write their first or second article, there's a huge chance you'll lose them forever! --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 20:53, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My "condescending attitude" is in my nomination: "insufficiently notable linguistic exercise. Wikipedia is not a vehicle of its popularization" and related to toy-languages. It is a modern development, played on web. Still, miserable visibility hence notability. The actual linguistic discussion is secondary importance here. If this article survives, it must be renamed into Constructed North Slavic languages. If there was a serious theory about "real" N-Slavic langs, it must be presented under this title, with proper references, for verification. Kortlan's use of the term proves nothing; for all I saw, it is just a matter of convenience. In any case, this if way far from mainstream. As for my attitude, we live in real world. There are muggers and killers and trolls, and me. As you see, nothing terrible happened. Your opinion prevailed. No need to panic. I am not going to fight tooth and claw. mikka (t) 21:21, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, Mikkalai, I'm not trying to popularise anything; I notice a certain phenomenon and I try to describe it, that's all. If you don't care for "toy-languages", that's fine. So leave people alone who do. As far as I am concerned, constructed languages are an art form just like any other art form.
Next: first you claim nothing of what's written can be proven and ask for references, then you get your references, and next you say that "the actual linguistic discussion is of secondary importance". Now, have I missed something?
About renaming the article: no. North Slavic languages are an existing phenomenon, whether you like it or not. And there are two different meanings for it, both given in the article, plus the constructed languages that are based on the premise of one of those. I see no reason for splitting it in two (or three) until the size of the article would demand it. And FYI: Kortlandt is one of the best-esteemed authorities in the field.
And at last, keep your allusions to trolls and the like to yourself, please. --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 21:41, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
"And at last": the sentence read "... trolls and me", i.e., I was putting myself in this list not you, hinting that you must deal with these phenomena without panic. IMO wikipedia today no longer especially lacks "prolific" cntributors, but really needs those who can substantiate their work by fact, not by snobish refernce to someone's ignorance. I still don't see solid references in your article. mikka (t) 21:55, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I haven't said a word about your ignorance. But to be very honest, I am very unpleasantly surprised about the unfriendly tone of this discussion. Anyway, schwamm drüber. How do you want those references placed in the article? References to the very existence of a phenomenon surely shouldn't be placed in the "external links" section? Frankly, instead of complaining, I don't understand why you don't place those footnotes yourself, if you care so much for them. Best regards, --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 22:00, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I voted keep above already. I'd like to inject some cites, but it's hard to know where to fit them in this flamewar. However: this article could use a little fixup, yes. North Slavic is somewhat tenuous as a language family; it's more often considered an areal pheonomenon, or a dialect continuum including East and West Slavic. I agree the article could stand some more depth and some better sourcing. To me that indicates the article should be improved, not deleted. Some links, though (via google): [48] [49] and

North Slavic is a real linguistic concept. It's not particularly obscure. Comrie, Timberlake, Hult, Rappaport, and Tommola are all well-known and respected academic linguists with substantial publication records, not hobbyists or amateurs. I repeat, if Mikka thinks that the conlangs aspect of this article is bogus, he should edit the page or take his case to the talk page, not try to do this via AfD. And yes, the vitriolic tone of this discussion has been surprising. Keep your chin up, IJzeren Jan. rodii 00:49, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you. Honestly, I do agree with you that the article could do with some more depth. I sincerely hope that people more knowledgeable than me will take care of that, because unlike some others here, I am not a real expert in the field, merely a well-informed amateur. But I'm still not sure you to go about the "cite your sources" thingy. It appears to me that a footnote would be inappropriate if the book(s) in question only prove that a certain word is indeed used in a certain meaning. --IJzeren Jan In mij legge alle fogultjes een ij 06:33, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Whitix

[edit]

NN "command line operating system" (whatever that may be). Google hit on http://c9online.l2p.net/index.php – "the home of Whitix" – is a dead link. Other Google hits seem to be in Malaysian or something, but I suspect that that "Whitix" is a game character. Creator of Whitix, Matthew Whitworth has been A7 speedied.. Tonywalton  | Talk 20:55, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A command line operating system is an OS that uses a prompt (like the old DOS, and most unix varieties), but as far as I can tell Whitix has only one user. The homepage is dead, and the only place it's mentioned in google (in english) is one person's sig file on one message board. Completely NN. --Bachrach44 21:04, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Not really: an operating system doesn't care about command lines or whatever. Unix is an operating system, and happily talks either to a command line or to a windowing environment (X11 on Solaris, Quartz on Mac OS X, for example). The term "command line OS" sort of says to me that Master Whitworth maybe isn't quite as au fait as he thinks he is… Whatever. Tonywalton  | Talk 21:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hi, Matthew Whitworth here. I wasn't aware of this article on Wikipedia before now, and it was not started by me - by a user called Bakie (I'm not responsible for the vanity :)) - who might not be well-versed in operating systems. Yes, the homepage is dead, but that's because I haven't been able to keep it going. CloudNine

Fashion of Thinking and Fashion of thinking

[edit]

I've actually spent a long time thinking about this one before I nominated it as I think it's a more complex issue than meets the eye. Google comes up with only ~400 hits for "fashion of thinking" and "fashion of thought", a decent number of which stem from wikipedia and pages that pull from wp. There is only one page in wp which links to this page (despite the fact that this page has been here for months), and that page (thought), doesn't really need the link. The author seems to claim that it's a phrase, but I honestly don't see it. It's simply a less common use of the word fashion. Is "make a left hand turn" worthy of a wp entry? It has 100 times the results of this phrase, and it has about the same claim to notability or uniqueness. --Bachrach44 20:56, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has a policy of no original research, so this material is not appropriate as an article here. In addition, I find it dubious that you are the creator of the article as (1) your ip is different than the article creator's and (2) they aren't even in the same range.

  • Comment. I am abstaining for now. The article itself clearly establishes notability alright, having held a seat in the Irish parliament is good enough for that. My worry is the verifiablility of this, because no sources have been cited, and I am having trouble finding any information on this. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:18, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment - would it be possible for you to upload those texts to Wikisource? I was unable to access them from The Times website (not surprising because of their dates). Furthermore, I wasn't able to retrieve lists of MPs from either the Parliament website or the History of Parliament website to confirm the information. The Parliament website suggested that UK denizens may be able to retrieve historical lists, though. --Syrthiss 15:50, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • An online digital archive of the London Times from 1785 to 1985 is available via the Thomson Gale detabases (subscription required). My understanding it that uploading the articles themselves would be a breach of copyright. I do recall that there is a publication entitled "Who's Who of British Members of Parliament", which might be of use for verification purposes, but I don't know what periods it covers; the standard "Who's Who" starts, I think, sometime in the 1890's. I have to agree that the UK Parliament is quite poor in terms of the extent of the historical information it provides online. Gustavus 17:01, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You might be able to upload that information depending on what the copyright laws are in the UK.

Unfortunately, his colleagues are more likely to be praying in front of a certain wall in Jerusalem than to be editing Wiki's.

        • Comment. Dalbury, Thank you very much for getting back to me. I really appreciate it. I believe there is place in Wikipedia for the Newman article based upon the criteria given within the following excerpts of the WP:BIO:
          "Biographies on the following people may be included in Wikipedia. This list is not all-inclusive. There are numerous biographies on Wikipedia on people who do not fall under any of these categories, but there is no intention to delete them all. . . . Painters, sculptors, architects, engineers, and other professionals whose work is recognized as exceptional and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field. Persons achieving renown or notoriety for their involvement in newsworthy events. . . ." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:BIO#People_still_alive)
        • Mr. Newman obtained his Talmudic expertise in the Yeshiva world of Jerusalem, and he excels in the field because of his genius. Unfortunately, it is difficult for an outsider to have that sufficiently documented or quantified. It's kind of an insider thing--the people who know are able to recognize the people who know. Yakov is unique, though, in that he is able to add to that rich background considerable expertise in philosophy and the hard sciences. He is also able to bring a wealth of colorful life experiences and adventures obtained while traveling the world. He really is someone odd and wonderful--a treasure. I want to share him, but I don't know how to get it across who he is. Hopefully, I am can make enough progress to save the article. Again, I really appreciate you helping me. Thanks!

Comment For the record, text and pic come from http://www.danishgrove.com/newman/biography.html. Flapdragon 14:35, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Response: Dalbury & Flapdragon, I am very thankful for your time and your responses. I would like to continue to draw on the feedback I have received from you and others to refine this thing until it ultimately works. (How does the Dylan Thomas poem go? "Do not go gentle into that good night...")

Of course, my primary ambition is to document the fact that Yakov Newman is a notable Talmudic scholar and expert on Judaica. But, that is extremely difficult to do. Most of us are accustomed to the system of degrees, peer review, and publishing used within Western Academia to establish credibility. The Yeshiva world works a little differently than that. The sages there do not spend too much time worrying about being accepted as an expert by those who are not of that world, so I have had to struggle for outside material. To this point I have found documentation for him being cited by the author of a Kabbala manual. And, I have found a Conference program listing him as being a presenter on Jewish/Christian history. That is not much, I know, but I hope that it will be seen as evidence that he is regarded in certain circles as being an authority.

Regarding Mr. Newman's poetry, that really isn't a priority for me. He is a talented poet, but that is primarily only going to be known by a few folks along the coffee shop circuit between Boston and Berkley, so I am willing to remove such a claim if it presents a problem.

As for Mr. Newman being a genius, I present the following evidence: The Wiktionary defines genius as meaning "someone possessing extraordinary intelligence or skill." (http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/genius) According to the official Mensa International website, "membership in Mensa is open to persons who have attained a score within the upper two percent of the general population on an approved intelligence test that has been properly administered and supervised." (http://www.mensa.org/index0.php?page=10) The official Utah Mensa website identifies Yakov Newman as being the Deputy "LocSec" (Local Secretary) for Utah (Region 9, Group 840) in May of 2002. (http://www.geocities.com/utahmensa/may01.htm) I believe the preceding sufficiently establishes the fact that Mr. Newman is a genius. But, I will remove that term if it sounds like hyperbole.

As for Mr. Newman being a notable, one of the criteria given in the [WP:BIO] is that of being someone in the news: On March 18, 2003, the Deseret Morning News reported under the headline "Peace protest ends in arrests" (page B-2) that Yakov Newman and nine other members of "Utah Citizens for Peace entered [U.S. Congressman, Jim] Matheson's office Monday and demanded he change his stand on the pending [Iraq] war. They refused to leave his office if that stand didn't change — even if it meant some arrests..." Accompanying the article is a photograph of Yakov reading a prayer book while he and another protester are being arrested. (See Deseret Morning News Archives)

This incident is also documented on the following websites:

As for the biography, it actually originates with a public domain media kit that Mr. Newman supplies to organizations that he addresses. The first time I saw it was on the Utah Atheist website some years back. They posted it after they had invited him to address their organization. Since then it has bounced around the web in various incarnations.

So, what do you think? Am I making any progress? Thanks! Redtopusa 01:54, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    • I repeat: without a filibuster (preferably in three sentences or less), what is his claim to fame and what separates him from other scholars? Both the article and posts from Retopusa and Bluezionlion indicated more an essay of idol worship rather than an encyclopedic article. With all the words going on, what would make Mr. Newman noteworthy to the average Joe Blow in Peoria (or Manchester)? 147.70.242.21 19:24, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • (1) Yakov Newman's claim to fame is that he is a news-making public figure and a rare authority in Talmudic studies.
      • (2) What separates him from other scholars is his genius and pioneering efforts within the discipline.
      • (3) He is noteworthy to the average person because he represents one of the few sources accessible to such an individual for traditional Talmudic learning. Redtopusa 22:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, Redtopusa, none of those contentions make him rise to meet the notability criteria:

1)"News making public figure" -- being part of a group who had a sit-in, for example -- wouldn't be sufficient in that it doesn't separate himself from the others in the activity. The term "news making public figure" is an exceptionally vague term -- a county commissioner making the news when he bowled a perfect 300 game, for example, wouldn't in itself merit inclusion in Wikipedia.

2)The fact that he is a "rare authority on Talmudic studies" (by whose objective standards? That would have to be referenced, too... but I digress) is not notable to anybody outside the field. If that were the case, we'd have to include "premier authorities" of every possible field of Academia... and that is most highly POV at best.

3)Genius is not noteworthiness in itself - there are over 6 million geniuses in the United States alone - and "pioneering efforts within the discipline" harkens back to my comment #2 above.

4)And your #3 ("He represents one of the few sources accessible to such an individual for traditional Talmudic learning") is essentially a restatement of "rare authority on Talmudic studies," and until/unless Talmudic studies get more mainstream attention, it cannot be notable enough for a general-purpose reference.

While I am sympathetic to your (and Bluezionlion's) passion for Mr. Newman (and I know you are doing this in good faith - coincidence aside (per B.Wind)), there are more appropriate places and resources for your project at this time. Until Mr. Newman gets much more national notice, I cannot see this endeavor succeeding here, and I must maintain my advocacy for deletion. 147.70.242.21 23:05, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

New Version: I have greatly reduced the article to include only what I felt I could document. I wish it were better, but I think it is the best I can do. If it still fails to meet the necessary criteria, please delete it with my blessing. Thanks to everyone who worked with me on this. It has been fun. May you and your loved ones be blessed! Redtopusa 00:54, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Redtopusa, though I feel you have had trouble relating to the Wikipedia concept, I for one salute your passion, persistence, good faith and courtesy. I feel sure there will be things you can contribute to articles such as Talmud, Yeshiva, Judaica etc. The essential thing is to make sure what you add is objective, verifiable, neutrally expressed and genuinely notable. Best wishes, Flapdragon 02:02, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I wholeheartedly agree. I think that it was simply too early for this article. The notoriety of Yakov Newman needs to be established to a much wider audience. One useful way is to "work your way" down from general to specific (for example, while a particular actor in himself might not be notable, he could be mentioned in an article covering a motion picture or television series in which he appeared). Redtopusa, please don't let a stumble dissuade you from writing great articles - just about all of us get into similar situations at one time or another, and not necessarily at Wikipedia.
