Tiffany Hunter

Non notable bio: as author writes: "Obscure adult entertainer on the Internet." -- (☺drini♫|☎) 00:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - A search for "Tiffany Hunter" +adult on Google returns 518 results. A search for "Tiffany Hunter" returns 3,960 results. Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 00:11, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non notable, non entity DV8 2XL 00:46, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete From the article: "obscure" and "relatively unknown". This is verging on Speedy territory. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:53, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Starblind expressed it eloquently. At least make an effort to persuade us not to delete a new article! -- llywrch 01:01, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete under Category A7. This article goes out of its way not to assert notability ie use of obscure and relatively unknown. Rob Church's Google search confirms the description. Capitalistroadster 01:12, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per Capitalistroadster. Jaxl | talk 02:52, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. NN. Although a Google Image Search = 'aaarhh... my eyes!' Cnwb 03:08, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The only things that came up on a Google Image search for me were Tiffany Hunter Tiffany Hunter, Tiffany Hunter, Tiffany Hunter, Tiffany Hunter, and Tiffany Hunter, none of which would elicit that reaction. However, I didn't have "safe search" turned off. ☺ Uncle G 16:29:13, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Keep, she's not obscure at all.BillyCreamCorn 15:54, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please supply proof that she's not obscure. Further research fails to show a listing on IMDB for her, & the first 2 hits for possible candidates from a Google search on "'Tiffany Hunter' +adult" are to an escort service (which provides a dead link supposedly to her web page), & a some guy's testimony that "she really likes to party". We've passed the criteria of notability & are now either at "verifiable" or "vanity". -- llywrch 17:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Alien experiment (Lilo & Stitch)

This page is exceptionally long and not really at all encyclopedic, frankly. No references are provided for any of the material, and it is written in a slightly strange informal narrative. It is simply a list of said characters interspersed with annotations, not an article on the subject. I am not sure whether this is nonsense or not, but either way it should be deleted. --NicholasTurnbull 00:09, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - (largely) unverifiable fancruft; non-encyclopedic. Rob Church ^{Talk | Desk} 00:13, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- Fancruft, as above. Stlemur 00:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I've worked extensively on this article in the past and most of it is not fancruft. Some past revisions of the article were a lot worse and basically summarized entire episodes of the show. There have been times when erroneous entries and information have been added and this is troubling because the content is unverifiable since there's not many credible sources about the article's content. I agree that the article isn't notable enough for Wikipedia and probably can't be salvaged into something more useful. I'm a little torn on this one, but Delete --Jtalledo (talk) 00:18, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. Well-written fancruft some of it may be, but nontheless fancruft. Admins, if this does get deleted, the edit history is huge; better watch out for the load on the servers! Tonywalton | Talk 00:22, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nominator. DV8 2XL 00:48, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Minor fictional characters like these are supposed to be merged into lists like this one. It's certainly better than having an article on each one. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:01, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and possibly condense if it really boils you turnips. This is essentially a list of Pokemon, with each episode of the show dealing with a different "Pokemon-thingy". Since the show's premise revolves largely around the "Pokemon-thingies", I'd say a list like this is informational about the show and not merely fancruft. User:Joylock
Keep per Starblind. An individual article for each of the hundreds of experiments would be fancruft. This list is a much better alternative. Thatdog 03:52, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Starblind, Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, minor characters with such an obvious relation to each other should be covered in the same list. Fancruft is not a valid reason to delete. - Mgm|^(talk) 07:52, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Keep or if you think it is too large, split into an article for each series. (000 series, 100 series, etc). Acetic '^Acid 17:02, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
KEEP - per nom. UniReb 19:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- not perfect, could use cleanup perhaps, but not a reason to delete it. JChamberlin 19:19, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There is ample precident for keeping articles about major themes and lists of minor characters for works of fiction, and this is both. This is easily verifiable, from any episode guide. It is also as verifiable as any plot synopsis. ManoaChild 20:25, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: This is, apparently, a term and incomplete list of non-appearing characters on a TV show that appears to have fairly limited audience. (I mean that the UK folks seem to have never encountered it, and even the fannish Americans appear to be at a loss about it; suggesting that this is a Buena Vista syndication that just isn't being run.) This is not, as some have argued, a list of minor characters, but a list of minor characters below the minor characters (i.e. not phylum, but race). Far too narrow, too granular, too much of concern only within a fictional universe accessible to and of concern for only fans. I.e. the hated "fancruft." Geogre 22:43, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. Show is currently being run on the Disney Channel with new episodes still being released, a newly released DVD, and a spinoff in production. Characters are not non-appearing as they appear in the episode which featured them and in later episodes. ManoaChild 22:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep- per Starblind--Oppolo 23:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep because the cruftequences of deleting make me feel ill. -Splash 01:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - This obviously has to stay. This article is useful and quite well-written, so I do not consider this to be fancruft. So much work has been put in to this article. --FlyingPenguins 05:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I disagree. This is one of the worst articles I've read. However, that doesn't merit deletion and most of the entires on that list have certainly appeared on on the series, so keep. --Apostrophe 22:21, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Maybe the article needs some more work, but the basic idea it covers is worthy of staying. Evil Eye 23:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I did not go to this high school but did grow up in Minnesota. This group is well known in the state and have even been documented on KARE 11 (about 10 years ago). The group is worth having a listing in an encyclopedia that wishes to inform people. There are already many fraternities listed within this website. Being sponsored by the school for over 30 years, I see no difference with this one. 167.181.247.6 12:15, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- If the club received coverage on television and in newspapers independent of the school itself, as you are implying, please cite it in the article. As things stand, there is no evidence to back up your claim. Indeed, there's no evidence presented for verifying even the existence of the article's subject. Uncle G 16:41:52, 2005-09-01 (UTC)
  - I'd say that even if the part about being on KARE 11 is true, it still wouldn't be notable. Lots of non-notable stuff shows up on local TV news. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 15:16, September 2, 2005 (UTC)

Kaseidramon

Kaseidramon is a completely fanmade Digimon, as the author of the article has admitted this. This is evidenced by any informed person. A real Digimon might have a image, and no 'looks like a Mega-level "insert Digimon here."'

MsMcMillan seeks noteriety with her blog... she does regular interviews for media outlets in Canada on the subject of blogging... she was recently quoted in at least 2 if not 3 mainstream daily publications in a contreversey surrounding Marc Emery

The real problem is Ms.McMillan does not like not having control over her own public relations.

She has made the comments that were attributed to her, re Angolans in Africa and Aboriginals, and their children needing to be "locked up" or put into residential schools

FWIW... I think racism, such as Ms.McMillan exhibits over and over again.. (see various discussions about her over at the Cannabis Culture Forum) needs to be documented and discussed, and people in Canada should be aware of what they are getting when they vote for a party of people who openly condone and support racists.

If there is anything factually incorrect with the entry about Ms.McMillan then she should be free to edit the entry like every other Wikipedian... and not just wipe out her contreversial statements when they cause her a problem, which they seem to be doing, as more media in the last week were alerted to her Angolan comments and various comments about Canada's indigenous people.

Lastly... what is Mike Brock and Ezra Levant doing with entries... when Ms.McMillan is not? Perhaps some of the progressive bloggers might be induced to comment on this. Somena 05:04, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. According to the Truth Laid Bear ratings, the Small Dead Animals blog is at least semi-notable with 3930 visits a day and 113th in links so there is a case for it staying. However, the article needs to seriously cleaned up in terms of NPOV and wider significance needs to be shown. User Somena seems to have serious POV problems in relation to this article. Capitalistroadster 05:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Somena is most likely correct when she says that we are voting on this VfD because McMillan "does not like not having control over her own public relations". Alexa rank is negligible (>100,000), but McMillan seems to be notable -- "Ms. McMillan was called an "inspiring friend" by conservative MP Monte Solberg, the opposition finance critic. She is the paid administrator of "The Shotgun", the on-line blog of the hard-right-of-center magazine Western Standard." Other reasons for notability are discussed on starblind's talk page, it seems. Having just tried to broker a compromise between warring bloggers, I sympathise with those who will have to negotiate between the blog-warring factions here. Sdedeo 06:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, but less NPOV McMillan passes the notability test. She is on the radio alot (more than Mike Brock, another Canadian blogger who went through VfD and remained). She also seems to be quoted in the newspaper alot as a "blogging authority." Editors should also keep in mind the Systemic Bias that has been identified in Wikipedia against entries that are non-American. Bloggers generally are more notable and have a greater cultural role in Canada than elsewhere. For more info see Canadian blogosphere.--Simon.Pole 08:27, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Just Google 'KKKate' and you'll see that Somena (Meaghan Walker-Williams, aka Edward T. Bear, aka numerous other sock puppets) is pursuing a personal vendetta against McMillan. Read the history of the page to see McMillans comments, which are substantially correct. Colby Cosh is a far better known Canadian blogger and not listed in Wikipedia.--Jtk3 22:02, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I have actually been to this blog, which in and of itself practically makes this wikiworthy, given the minutely small number of blogs I have ever bothered to read. I am troubled, however, that the entry is currently being used to promote an anti-Tory political agenda - per Somena and her assertions - which is an outright violation. If its stands as is, with its baiting content (the Solberg quote is loaded, as is the controversy) - i.e. no one is willing to bother to rewerite it as part of this AfD process, then it should be Deleted until it is authored in a manner that conforms to NPOV, or else merged to the cdn blogger list. Dottore So 01:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. McMillan seems quite convinced of her notability in this newspaper article: [1]. I'll happily rewrite the article out of sheer bloodymindedness if it survives. Sdedeo 02:06, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(note on JTK3 commentator above, Mr.John T Kennedy and his wife Lynnette Warren's only contribution to Wikipedia prior to this entry has been to vandalize a page dealing with Somena. See here and here )

Why is it *anti-tory* to point out what this woman has said including links to the comments and screen captures to prove she said it. Monte Solberg doesn't have a problem with people knowing about his relationship/inspiring friendship with her... or that it is well known... he has on 3 separate occasions promoted her blog on his website, and also in an interview by Blogging Tories Blog Alliance owner Stephen Taylor which was podcast on the internet.

If the Tories are comfortable with somebody like McMillan in their ranks, it seems a little unreasonable for them say people drawing attention to their involvement, association and promotion of this woman is "unfair" or partisan.

I personally don't vote. I don't belong to any politcal party. I'm actually libertarian... and I could care less which political party is running the country... they are all crooks as far as I am concerned. But I do think Canadians should be able to see the kinds of views and positions of "tories" who openly advocate these sorts of things on-line and be made aware of what they are voting for, and what they can expect from these people if they should ever achieve power.

For instance... would it be "NPOV" to build an entry about former Canadian Alliance MP Jim Pankiw , who made several remarkable derogatory comments about Aboriginals among other things? What about to draw reference to Stephen Harper's infamous remarks about contreversial "Atlantic Canada" or the Firewall around Albert? Is it NPOV to have an entry about Svend Robinson's shoplifting? Would it be wrong to have an entry about David Ahenakew's anti-semetic remarks? Would it be NPOV to have a mention on Michelle Malkin's entry, about her defence of internment for Japanese?

No. It wouldn't and it isn't See all the entries above. These are remarkable events, and remarkable commentaries by various personalities who crave noteriety and drawing attention to themselves.

McMillan says on her own blogpage that the reason she chooses a "dead gopher" on her website graphic is because it's a reminder to people that she is not afraid of saying offensive things. In fact, that's a big part of why she blogs according to interviews she has given... she enjoys saying contreversial and un-politically correct things. Context is important in all this.

Yes... my entry on McMillan is biased. If somebody wants to present the information about her in a non-biased format... that's what Wikipedia does and is for i.e. several people add and subtract, delete and modify until the page is the most correct and neutral. But notice that's not what the subject Kate McMillan wants. She wants the facts about her to not be referrenced or linked to. She wants to have all control over what is being said about her. And if she can't have it that way... she demands that nobody say anything about her at all. Now considering McMillan's recent remarks on her blog about Marc Emery, and how she went out of her way to make sure that as many people as possible found out about contreversial statements by Mr.Emery, I find it remarkable that she would object to getting the same treatment, because of her own contreversial remarks.

Somena 02:40, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A brief riposte. Some of your points cited as supporting examples I agree with, but then I think we are dealing with something that is different in both kind and specie. Ahenakew, for example, was elevated to the Order of Canada, and then expelled after his anti-semitic remarks. In an encyclopedic treatment of Ahenakew, therefore, that is important. Your other examples are equally disingenuous. Robinson was an elected MP (hence notable) and resigned due to the incident you mentioned. All the others are MPs, too, for that matter. Ms. McMillan is barely noteworthy at all. To single out her comments about race, etc... is, in my view, very tendentious since it implies a notability through controversy which does not exist. Also, a small point, but why should anyone be coming here for political commentary at all. Pour la politesse aux autres, you may wish to respond to any direct points on my talk page, instead of clogging up the AfD. Fwiw, I vote Bloc, so I am not being an apologist here. ;) Dottore So 03:32, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't know if Breck Wall can be really considered a notable person. On Altavista I found only 5 listings that were actually about Mr. Wall, two of which were blank pages, one was a old newspaper article reviewing a stage show produced by Mr. Breck's shows and the rest were just spam keyword use. Google showed little over 10 articles some of which were unsubstantiated and undocumented accusations regarding Mr. Breck's involvement and friendship with Jack Ruby.

Speedy delete as recreation of previously deleted content. Proto t c 10:03, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

{{db-repost}} only applies if the deleted page was deleted as a result of a VfD, not SD. Unfortunately. Tonywalton | Talk

So you're saying that if an article is deleted under A7, and it's recreated, it can't be speedy deleted without coming to AfD? Zoe 19:41, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Basically, yes. Encephalon provided a useful conversation about this on his talk page below. Hope that clears things up; I found it helpful, anyway. --Blackcap | talk 19:57, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

WP:CSD G4 ("A substantially identical copy, by any title, of a page that was deleted according to the deletion policy.") says: This does not apply to content in userspace, content that was speedily deleted, or to content undeleted according to undeletion policy. If the previous deletion was a speedy (under any criterion, not just A7), it gets at least one more shot. Or even more - it could be speedied over and over again. However if it's reposted after a VfD voted "delete", then it merits a db-repost tag under CSD G4 and a deletedcontent tag on the deleted page to stop it being recreated.. What happens if, as seems likely with this article, it gets speedied due to an overwhelming consensus to speedy prior to the VfD period being up is worrying; does that count as a speedy (so db-repost doesn't apply) or a VfD delete (so db-repost does apply)? Tonywalton | Talk 20:02, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Tony, I don't think this is quite the right place to have a long discussion on CSD etc, and you're welcome to post on this Talk page, my Talk page or yours; I'll just comment here that I don't think this idea is correct: If the previous deletion was a speedy (under any criterion, not just A7), it gets at least one more shot. Or even more - it could be speedied over and over again. I'm posting some thoughts on this particular AfD's talk page.—Encephalon | ^ζ 21:19:00, 2005-09-01 (UTC)

Agreed. I'd typed my stuff in then got edit-conflicted before I had a chance to read yours. I don't think we're disagreeing on the general "Make the Cam Wilson articles go away" principle, though! Tonywalton | Talk 23:27, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, we most certainly agree on that. My only concern here is with the careful use of CSD; if improperly used it will simply prolong the deletion of vanity/inappropriate articles from WP, as these will likely be targetted for undelete/re-AfD campaigns, purely for "process" reasons. That's not necessarily a bad thing — it's important to protect the integrity of WP's policies such as they are — but I think all of us can agree it's better to be careful with the rules in the first place and avoid such situations.—Encephalon | ^ζ 04:35:09, 2005-09-02 (UTC)

So we agree that this could be given nn-bio (A7) a second time, but not deleted as reproduced (G4)?
brenneman ^(t)^(c) 04:47, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Aaron. No, we all agree that inappropriate articles (such as vanity articles) should be deleted in accordance with WP policies. Where we disagree is that I don't believe that it can be done in this case under CSD, while some editors (all of whom I have great respect for) do.

Comment. It's a very poorly written article. As it stands, it is a two-paragraph summary of the company's alleged business dealings. Complete contravention of the NPOV policy: everything written about it is from the company's point of view. What do its competitors think of the company? How do its customers feel about it? Any studies on customer satisfaction? If so, how well has it done? Who do the governments, local and national, think about it? Has it had legal troubles? What is its economic history? What role has it played in its industry? Is it merely one of several players? Are those claims about its finances accurate? Why is it notable, aside from having a lot of customers, which is something millions and millions of companies around the world have? What particular notability has it a claim to that warrants mention in an encyclopedia? The fact that it introduced ring tones (I don't know, I'm just asking, as that seems to be the only claim of uniqueness I can see)? These questions pertain to WP:NPOV and WP:N. Next, we have questions pertaining to WP:V. To write a good encyclopedia article, the subject must be eminently verifiable from multiple reputable, independent sources. What sources were used to write this article? I see links to the company website. What primary or secondary sources were used to write this work? Or can be used by us if we wish to expand it? Do any exist? WP articles cannot be products of original research, they must be based on multiple reputable primary or secondary sources. See WP:RS. Like thousands of other articles currently on WP, this one seems to contravene some major WP policies and guidelines. Problem is what to do with articles that may indeed be about a notable subject (and this one may well be, I don't know; not enough is said about it for one to know), but which are in their present state really weak (and will likely always be weak)? After studying the policies, it seems to me this conundrum is open to interpretation, and is in fact the source of much dispute on AfD. My vote here is to delete (mainly because I think it will be near impossible for WP editors to source the material (what exists, that is) to write a good article per WP:V, WP:RS, WP:NOT, WP:NOR), but equally many well-meaning editors will vote the other way.

Young Social Entrepreneur

Seems like a bunch of nonsense to me. I requested its deletion before a lot of this additional information was added, at first it seemed like a person trying to be clever. Now I think it should be merged as FreelanceWizard said. -realwingus 07:59, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into social entrepreneurship. This appears to be a legitimate term in this area, specifically referring to -- you guessed it -- people under the usual ages for successful entrepreneurs. There are awards and societies for this, but it's basically just a type of social entrepreneur, and so doesn't deserve its own article. Some of what's in this article might do well over in the other article, maybe. On a side note, I'm still trying to figure out why social entrepreneur redirects where it does, so I'm going to fix that now. :) --FreelanceWizard 08:16, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, it adds nothing to related articles. Pilatus is right. Peeper 12:50, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
keep this church is directly addressed in the Book of Revelation (and there is a tome of scholarship on that), it is also mentioned in Colossians as the recipient of another (Pauline?) letter, and it is the site for the 4th cent Council of Laodicea. In addition to the Biblical accounts and Church history, there is (I think) relevant archaeology, (and, no doubt, classical references) to the ancient city. This could also be reported if renamed simply Laodicea - certainly worth an article. (If minor fictional players in transitory works get a mention (see Amee), then real ones in enduring works like the New Testament certainly do!) --Doc (?) 13:02, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

In the Letter to the Colossians that congregation is mentioned just in an aside, and what has come down to us as the Epistle to the Laodiceans is bogus. The Council of Laodicea is obscure and three centuries later than the mention in the Apocalypse. From my previous votes you know that I do not believe in splitting the information atom.

Laura and Ed, the fact that ~~something is written~~ you may claim something is written in a pejorative style does not automatically qualify it for deletion; it qualifies it to be re-written in a neutral style (unless it's an "attack page", an article which has the sole goal of denigrating its subject, which this patently isn't.

- You would feel very different if a member if your family had been persecuted during the Red Scare. You'd feel very different if your future could be threatened by these mis-statements. You'd feel very different if someone anonymously slandered your family. Removing the innaccuracies and tone results in a page that clearly does not meet the standard set forth in Wikipedia:Biography This should be removed. By the way, I can't help being a newbie. Sight sources you ask? I knew the man! Elliot Krafsur who wrote a refutation in the talk session is S.S. Krafsur's son!

  - I can't speak for everyone, but I certainly don't blame family members for things done by someone else (someone who's now dead, in fact). So Ellitot Krafsur bears no responsibility for Samuel Krafsur's actions, morally (and certainly not legally). However, trying to white-wash history is a separate and distinct act, one which may merit condemnation. Noel (talk) 14:59, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
weak delete ignoring the factual and POV issues... Is this guy notable? Or was he just one name in a notable organization?Roodog2k 14:47, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- He worked for a few years as a journalist for TASS, the Russian news agency. Hardly surprising that the KGB was interested in him. This does not make him a spy as the author anonymously claims. Ed6061 14:51, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Krafsur was never convicted nor charged with espionage. The biographer is clearly on a mission. Here he applies highly severe judgment based on a few interpretatively disputatious intercepts. He ignores the legitimacy of being a TASS employee in wartime when the USSR was an ally. He persists in anonymity. His subject has been dead for twenty two years. The biography will cause further harm to the Krafsur name simply by association, as has indeed happened.Ekrafsur 15:07, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    - Incorrect. A URL refers to Samuel Krafsur as "KGB Agent" but the referenced document only suggests that he might be a source for other contacts. Furthermore the only issue at dispute is whether Krafsur was a "spy". The idea of his being an actual "KGB Agent" is totally farfetched. It seems likely that the URL heading is in fact a mistake, unless of course someone can point to a specific document that show otherwise. Jdivine 06:44, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - The URL you refer to starts with "http://www.nsa.gov/venona/" in other words, the web page at that URL (i.e. not the image of the old message, but the HTML file listing all those images) is a US Government document, one associated with the NSA archives, which does indeed refer to "KGB Agent Samuel Krafsur". It might be incorrect, but it is a fact that a formal US government document refers to him that way, and it's entirely appropriate to include that fact in an article about him. Noel (talk) 14:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        I do not agree that an HTML index page, in all probability assembled by an intern, would be categorized as a "formal US government document". Based on your user bio I'd concede that you are the better judge for what standard is appropriate for Wikipedia -- but that doesn't mean I buy your argument. Jdivine 03:47, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        
        Well, it certainly is a US government document, even if you're going to quibble about the word "formal". It's certainly not the work of a private individual. Noel (talk) 17:29, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article as written is indeed pejorative. For crying out loud, under Extenal Links we have "Spying on America." The Venona documents listed do discuss IDE but make no indication that the information gathered from him was covertly obtained. Indeed, as a journalist he would likely run across interesting tidbits of information from time to time. And as an employee of the TASS news agency Krafsur would have undoubtedly spoken from time to time with various Soviet government functionaries, some of whom were likely covert KGB. This does not make him a "spy." And frankly, if you caveat and footnote this article enough to make it "fair," it becomes clear that Krafsur is not a figure with enough historical importance to warrant his own biography. Also I note in the talk page for this topic and in their biographies that Nobs and Dwain appear to be on a bizarre quest to rehabilitate the image of Joe McCarthy. This would tend to lend a slant to their "POV" on topics such as these. Jdivine 07:36, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- If he was just "a journalist", why does an intelligence officer of the NKGB say (in the message of 17 May 1944) "we propose to use him", when he was already a TASS employee at that point? (And the term "spy" is imprecise, and one not used by those knowledgeable in this field.) Noel (talk) 14:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - All terms are imprecise. I'm not knowledgable in the field, but perhaps you are. Could you suggest a better term and replace the phrase "Spying on America" with something more appropriate? Jdivine 04:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - The page referenced reads "... we propose to use an employee of the Editorial Office ... for cultivating newspapermen's circles ..." This "cultivation" seems something a mere journalist or an employee of the TASS news agency would not normally be "used" for. The statement is somewhat ambigous, but seems to be a suggestion that names of potential "sources" might be gleaned from this man. Jdivine 04:03, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Decrypt # 1433, 1435, first sentence reads "SERGEJ has brought in IDE but is not able to direct his work systemactically". What does "brough in" mean? It is a reference to "signing on KONTRAKTATsIYa" (contracts) as in # 705. There is plenty more from this batch of decrypts which can be shown conclusivley that Krafsur did more that talent spot & recruit, he was a purveyor of high level information without whom "we are completely powerless" [4]. nobs 04:24, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
~~Borderline keep~~Keep. He's a pretty minor figure, and his work for Soviet intelligence appears to have been of fairly minor import, so I'm not sure he really rises to the level of notability required. Still, we seem to have articles on less notable people (all sorts of minor sports figures, etc), so it's not clear to me we should get rid of this page. Noel (talk) 14:35, 2 September 2005 (UTC) Now that Nobs has reminded me of the connection with I. F. Stone, that ups Krafsur into someone on whom we need to have an article. Noel (talk) 17:18, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, nn. Google results for Simon Samuel Krafsur come up blank; one unrelated hit for Simon Krafsur; 44 hits for Samuel Krafsur, but almost all of them appear to be Wikipedia and Wikipeda-derived results. While Google hits are not a perfect indicator of notability, Wikipedia shouldn't be the first place a story appears on the web; that would seem to be the case here. If he really is notable, he'll eventually be mentioned elsewhere and can be listed here then. Aquillion 23:53, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

He is listed in many books. The internet is not a substitute for books and archives there are many people who are or were important that are not well sourced on the internet. Dwain 02:09, September 4, 2005 (UTC) Yahoo has even more hits than Google.

While I agree that visibility to Google can vary from subject to subject and should not be used in borderline cases, a subject with no google hits at all (or, as in this case, only hits from Wikipedia and Wikipedia mirrors) is simply not notable. The extra Yahoo hits you referred to, note, seem to be because Yahoo is poorer at recognizing Wikipedia mirrors; flipping quickly through them, it seems that everything there is just the same few Wikipedia pages repeated over and over from different mirrors. That is a bad thing; when the Google search results on a subject turn up nothing but Wikipedia entries, it's a safe bet that someone is trying to use Wikipedia to push a non-notable subject into notability. That's not what Wikipedia is for. Aquillion 00:32, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Krafsur is a direct pipleine into the White House; see discussion at Talk:Samuel_Krafsur#1433.2C_1435, and other notable comments regarding his value to KGB on that Talk page. nobs 02:37, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I don't doubt the value of your research into the Venona decrypts; but I'm still not comfortable with the idea of using Wikipedia for information that has not yet become generally accepted. I think it would be better if you published your conclusions with regard to his importance elsewhere first, outside of an encyclopedia; if he's as important as you concluded in those links, it will not take long for your conclusions to become widely-known enough to use as the basis for a Wikipedia article on him. Aquillion 04:40, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

But it's not the research of people here who brought him to public attention; his name originally came up in books by specialists in this area. (E.g. he's in the ComIntern archives book too, as well as the Venona books by West and Klehr/whatshisname). The work by people here is more in the nature of verifying the statements in those books.

Thanks, Doc. I also managed to verify it. It is referred to as Huntington High, and there were two colored schools in Newport News, this one and George Washington Carver, separated by a railroad track. At least one former Branch President of the NAACP went there, Flora Crittenden (one newspaper says it was Carver, but an official Virginia House bill thanking delegate Crittenden for her service says it was Huntington).

Big blue room

I am not sure about this one. To me, it is a rather stubbish little definition of a phrase that, to my knowledge, does not enjoy a great amount of usage.
