Dr Raven Darktalon Blood

This seems like somebody doesn't understand a joke from Penny Arcade. Why do you think they would have it optioned for 5 films when even huge franchises aren't optioned in that huge of an amount? An article this cluelessly made deserves deletion. -- LGagnon 01:08, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, this is a very recent Penny Arcade joke. Perhaps someone thought that the (real-world) Penny Arcade artists were seriously entering the movie business with this title??? Master Thief Garrett 01:19, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Either a joke, or the victim of one. Alai 02:34, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete --Fuzzball! (talk) 04:28, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as a joke. The text is taken verbatim from the comic strip. --Fastfission 15:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Misunderstanding or joke. --Sjender 16:25, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't know why, but this account seems to have been created for the sole purpose of casting this vote... Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:31, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - It just so happened that casting this vote was the first thing I did with the account. I created the account because I like having accounts on stuff just in case I want to do things. Is it poor etiquette for your first action to be one of destruction? I mean, I don't want to make anyone nervous or anything. --Sjender 17:21, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Votes from very new users tend to be discounted in VfDs, because they're intended to develop a consensus in the Wikipedia community, and new Users (and anons) are thought to be not yet part of the community. There's a template about that, which I'll try to find and stick on your talk page. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:44, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, If the character isn't already listed as a recurring character in the Penny Arcade article, merge the relevant information. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 14:45, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
- He's only *just* been introduced, we won't know yet. Most new characters in the strip do end up being recurring, but this one might not. Master Thief Garrett 23:20, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Actually, he's been around for a while [1] [2]- He started as a running joke in 2004. --DropDeadGorgias (talk) 17:32, May 11, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Probably a joke, noone could be that stupid. MonsterOfTheLake 01:41, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You've never visited the GameFAQs boards, have you? Master Thief Garrett 02:22, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Employment Pathways for Interns and Co-ops

Advert for IBM recruitment program. The spamlinks aren't even valid. —Wahoofive (talk) 23:58, 6 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete too obscure. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:00, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
I'm going to assume good faith on the part of article creator User:TerraFrost: it's something potentially interesting they had knowledge of and quickly wrote up. Indeed, the employment practices and programs of large employers are notable; the second section in IBM is Culture including subsection Diversity and workforce issues. I'd hope this information, modest as it is, could go somewhere. Samaritan 00:52, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
comment: I only got 24 googles for "Employment Pathways for Interns and Co-ops" IBM RJFJR 01:16, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Merge into IBM. Does not have the notability to stand on its own. Bubamara 04:06, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with IBM. --Fuzzball! (talk) 04:29, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with IBM. I agree with Samaritan's take on it. DeweyQ 06:58, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge My intention in creating this page wasn't to provide IBM an advertise, but regardless, I, too, now think this article is pointless. In fact, I've pondered voting this article for deletion, myself, several times, heh. TerraFrost 07:04, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge - agreeing with Bubamara - Andre Engels 09:04, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with IBM. Megan1967 11:45, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Vanity. The only possible notability I can come up with is he coded SimpleAIM. Delete. —Mar ka ci 2005-05-7 T 00:23 Z

6th Magic Kingdom Novel

Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, page is misnomer, all hits seem to link back to "us" therefore probably non-notable. Doesn't even give the REAL name of the book. Master Thief Garrett 00:04, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note 1: Tried to Speedy it for no-content but Golbez removed the tag, saying "this has been on here for hours; apparently no one thinks it's delete-worthy, and no one wants to remove the notice. I will. Put it on vfd; maybe they have ideas." It was NOT my intention to drag this thru Vfd but it seems I have no choice. Master Thief Garrett 00:06, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete since we don't even know what the title will be... or anything else about it. RJFJR 01:09, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
I'd say merge into Magic Kingdom (Terry Brooks), but it's already there. So delete. Bubamara 04:12, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Not likely that someone will search under that name anyway. --Fuzzball! (talk) 04:33, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - if there had been actual information, I would have voted merge instead - Andre Engels 09:07, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
With due respect to the author, is this factual or just a guess to get first-posting props ? Delete and keep deleting until there is some substance. --Simon Cursitor 07:43, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Mitchell Adriel Gardner

Mitchell "Mizzatch" Gardner was born on December 23rd,1990 and is the Guitarist and vocalist to an American Punk/Rock band named Semper Dingus. He promoted his own band and now is opening the uterus to being a noticed with Semper Dingus ...hoping to be noticed via a vanity page in Wikipedia, I guess. —Wahoofive (talk) 01:00, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, not notable, vanity. Megan1967 03:44, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not notable. I would expect to have heard of a 14 year old punk-rocker if there was any trace of notability. WCFrancis 03:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete NN. --Fuzzball! (talk) 04:34, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Entropia (band)

non-notable band, Delete RJFJR 01:06, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Two gigs and no recordings before breaking up. Delete —Wahoofive (talk) 02:15, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Does not appear to be the band of the same name listed on allmusic.com. However, I eagerly await the band's web page due sometime next year. Gamaliel 02:51, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fantasia's Youth

non-notable. One of many teams raising funds through the American Cancer Society's Relay for life. This seems to be part of a fund raising project. While I applaud their efforts to raise money to fight cancer there are a lot of teams doing the same thing. Delete. RJFJR 01:36, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Medianet group

This may be a speedy delete canidate, but I felt it would be better to bring it here. Article is currently bordering on nonsense, and a search through the page history does not show anything of much merit related to the article title. Closest match to the title on a Google search is at http://www.medianetgroup.com/, homepage to a small (multi-level marketing?) company of limited notability. --Allen3 ^talk 01:41, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I couldn't work out what the article was about, but it was probably not notable. Sjakkalle 07:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete. The first line is not even close to being enough for an article. The rest of the text is copied from the article Border Gateway Protocol and has no visible connection to the subject of the article. - Andre Engels 09:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Delete. Agree with Andre. I wonder if the copying was an honest mistake of some kind or an attempt to pad out the article beyond a single sentence with an irrelevant info dump. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:33, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Timeline of American music and radical politics

This is a list with one entry. It has been vandalised but rather than revert I suggest that the page be deleted as it appears to add no information about either American music or radical politics. Tiles 01:38, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Here is the version with the most complete list if anyone wishes to consult it. No vote. —Wahoofive (talk) 02:13, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Oops, wrong version. I was tracing a vandal's contributions. But I still think Delete - Tiles
Delete, looks to be someone's class project. Lecture notes on vfd in the past have been deleted and I dont see any difference with this list. We already have (X) year in music for every year on Wikipedia so even if complete it wouldn't be all that necessary. Megan1967 03:52, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
From the first version of the article: This page began as a site for work undertaken in Chris Smith's seminar of the same name at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, TX, in the Fall 2004 semester. Principle among its offerings is a timeline of American Music and Radical Politics, a collaborative work-in-progress by Dr Smith and the students of the seminar. - No vote - Andre Engels 09:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. What on earth does "Jamaica founded" have to do with the article title? Seems like original research and largely redundant with the 'year in music' series. Niteowlneils 20:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Orangs and oranges. Mikkalai 20:20, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

DELETE, not merge. I there isn't any knowledge, even about slang, lost by deleting this. Even slang has to be more than just words people say or type, or even word substitution, there still has to be meaning behind the expression. I see an internet meme, but no meaning.

The result of the debate was Redirect and I'll tell you why. It may well be a valid article, but there's way too much that smells of original research in there at the moment. I'll keep it in the history if someone else things they can resurrect the good bits. Golbez 00:05, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Bro

wikipedia is not not a dictionary, and certianly not a dictionary sourced by original research, and definitely certainly not a dictionary of wrong original research. (Brother began with monks? Check out the Bible for an earlier citation... --Samuel J. Howard 02:07, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

redirect to brother BigFatDave 19:46, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup, if necessary. It's no worse than the dozens of other slang terms in Category:Slang: dude, geek, &c. — RJH 19:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to brother, unless someone can provide correct research. Don't forget to include the link to the bro disamb. Mgm|^(talk) 21:12, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and cleanup. Don't redirect because it has evolved into more than just an abbreviation. I have "bro's" that are not related to me, and I also have a brother who I would never call a "Bro". It's not a dicdef because there is encyclopedic information about it's use in different cultures. This is not original research. It's not a new term or a new definition of an old one (WP:NOR criteria). The background info should be condensed and verified though. —Teknic^Talk/Mail 03:02, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup. Agree with Grue. --L33tminion (talk) 04:34, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

- Definitely, the bit about the monks is, as far as I know, utter twaddle. I've read screeds and screeds of info about monks and nothing in that led me to believe they would abbrieviate or "trivialise" each others' titles. I don't know that abbreviations even *existed* until the 20th century. Master Thief Garrett 23:24, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The subject of this page seems to be non-notable, with only 360 google hits. --Canderson7 02:15, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

The article borders on being incorrect:
- "She started acting at a very early age" - she has not done anything since
- "is a child actor" - apart from being female, she also had her only role between birth and third birthday, it would be doubtful whether at that age it should be called 'acting'
Single role, age (under) 3, shared with her two twin sisters. I would say delete - Andre Engels 09:23, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- In case my comment "I doubt she rates more than a mention" is the reason for the "important" comment, I should "disambiguate" that comment.

Muliebrity

Lovely dicdef: Muliebrity is the state of being a woman. —Wahoofive (talk) 03:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Info - This word appeared in Roget’s II: The New Thesaurus, Third Edition. (1995), as well as The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language: Fourth Edition. (2000). It appears to already have a Wiktionary entry Knoma Tsujmai 03:51, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Gender role, its already in Wiktionary. (vote of Megan1967; changed below; <mikkalai>)
- Keep and expand. I noted there is already an article on Virility which is the opposite of this term. Megan1967 04:01, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This isn't the opposite of virility! Wel, it is, but most have never heard of it, unlike virility. Who's *actually* going to enter this as a keyword, AND get it spelled correctly, AND expect it to actually BE here??? Master Thief Garrett 04:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Indeed, the opposite would be femininity. (from Latin, 'vir' = man, 'femina' = woman, 'mulieber' = not a word). Radiant_* 13:04, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
  - I hang my head in shame, I should have thought of that. I took five years of Latin and I can't even point out a simple word origin like that? Master Thief Garrett 23:19, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Now you may hang the rest. A traditional opposite for feminine is masculine from "masculus". And those who know Spanish, will readily recall the word mujer <- mulier. Mikkalai 23:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- ~~Have you done a survey Mr Garrett? Redirects are cheap.~~ Megan1967 05:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - There's a big difference between "cheap and useful" and "useless redirect", some are even of misspellings for goodness' sake... but, yes, you don't want to delete possible redirects or the ~~inclusionists~~ natives get restless... Master Thief Garrett 05:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - ~~I wont buy into the inclusionist v's deletionist debates - redirects have nothing to with inclusionism, otherwise the vote would have been keep not redirect.~~ Megan1967 07:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Question: Does this mean someone will add information about Muliebrity to the [Gender Role] page? Why redirect to a site that doesn't even contain the word? Knoma Tsujmai 05:16, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Exactly. Don't redirect to a page which doesn't explain why the word is being redirected there. Delete. Rick K 05:28, May 7, 2005 (UTC)
- Good point, on the off-chance someone *does* search for it, then they should at least be rewarded for their efforts! Master Thief Garrett 05:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Neither this term nor Virility has anything to do with Gender roles. Whether this is a real word is not the criterion for Wikipedia. It's still a dicdef, and no one has yet argued it will ever be more, and redirecting it to a marginally related topic isn't that valuable.—Wahoofive (talk) 05:55, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hopefully, I will be able to return in a few months to see a complete article. -- Samuel Wantman 07:56, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What, please tell me, will you expect to see here that is not already in femininity or similar? Master Thief Garrett 09:19, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please keep it. Muliebrity is not quite the same thing as womanhood. The word is used in gender studies.

Delete. Exploding Boy 23:07, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, neologism. Would support a redirect to femininity if people really want, but this is just a misnomer. Radiant_* 13:04, May 9, 2005 (UTC)

Keep Everyking 00:30, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -Lommer | ^talk 22:39, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. It's a neologism, and at best the article could be slimmed down and transferred to Wiktionary. I note that Mikkalai has added to woman an isolated sentence that links to this article and to femininity (despite the fact that, as he himself pointed out above, there's no article on the latter). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You keep eyeing women! Yes, I did it, but this "isolated" sentence serves its purpose of introducing these terms irrelatively the existence of the articles. Also, making more links increases chances that someone willing to write will stumble onto them. And it is isolated because I have problems with knowing women. Mikkalai 16:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Also. I am curious why don't you scorn me for 4x expanding the article I am voting to delete? Mikkalai 16:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm not sure that I understand all the above, but I can see little use introducing any of these terms, when one is simply a modification of the article title on normal English grammatical lines, one is a mere dictionary definition under VfD, and one is a redirect to an article linked to in the article's summary. As to expanding the article under VfD, why should I think that there's anything wrong with that? Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 17:22, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep useful (216.191.154.61 did not sign off)
Keep, and expand. A good start by Mikkalai. Leanne 05:33, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It still does not change my opinion that it has to be deleted. I tried hard to find evidence in its defense (I am not a deletionist by nature), but found pitiful material. I put it into the article simply not to let my work wasted (Mel, that's what it was). All this may be safely moved anywhere where all "effimacies" may be discussed and meanings compared. Taken isolated, the article has little usefulness. Mikkalai 17:34, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
DELETE Pacian 07:56, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Has been expanded, and is not a dicdef any more. Also, has sufficient Google hits not to count as a neologism nobody has ever heard of. -- AlexR 08:00, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep It's turned into a debate between "I've heard this in gender studies" and "I haven't heard it in non-related fields." If it exists in gender studies, you can't say it doesn't exist if you don't study it! Otherwise non-technical people would be voting computer/engineering terms out right and left, because they never heard of them. -- kronchev 4:48, 14 May 2005
- Put it another way, what *exactly* does this word describe and mean that femininity doesn't? Are they synonymous or different? Master Thief Garrett 10:19, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- We don't live in 19th century. If it is important in gender studies, it most certainly must be discussed online. It is not. It is only used, rather chaotically. Mikkalai 17:34, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and expand. Useful topic. Iam 06:41, May 15, 2005 (UTC)

The tone and context made it clear that this was not an attempt by a sockpuppet to bias the outcome of the vote.

Merge and redirect to Vril. Note: as someone who KNOWS German Secret Weapons for over 25 years let me explain some things that you people don't know. Here's a list of OTHER German claimed weapons that seemed like fantasy that were later confirmed as real:

1) Kugelpanzer- lierally a round, ball tank shipped to Japan and used for light recon. Seems ridiculous, yet one was captured by the Russians and is on DISPLAY in the Kubinka Museum. Tale proved TRUE. 2) Mystery "N-Material" (aka modern Greek Fire) developed by the German Army and supposedly dropped only to be picked up by the SS for production. Again, seems like a pure fabrication. Material was discovered to be CIF3 and WAS produced at its own facility at Falkenhagen. So dangerous was the material that four water towers all connected to the central storage unit in case of ignition. CIF3 can literally repel water once ignited and only a huge amt. of water that is under pressure can ensure that CIF3 burns out underwater without spreading. The German facility had to submerge the storage area to the ceiling and had bleed shafts built into the structure for water overflow. Strange but TRUE. 3) Mystery V-4 missile. In most missiles books just a bluff to keep Sweden from turning to the Allies in 1945. But on Misdroy launch catapults pointing NORTH were found along with several Pabst ramjets and rocket launch cylinder units. The V-1 by comparison pointed WEST and used a chemical cylinder to produce steam for launch, not a rocket... and the V-1 used a crude Argus-Schmidt pulsejet, not a Pabst ramjet. Tale proved TRUE. 4) Mystery V-7 weapon. Considered a complete hoax. Only problem is the patent of it by Bruno Schwenteit as the Elektrische Luft turbine und Raumschiff, crediting Rudolf Schriever and Dr. Richard Miethe. Proved TRUE. These are just a few waffen used as examples. No one claimed that the Magic Eye worked or flew... only that a lab model was being tested by early 1945. Vril from the start concentrated on channeled flight using manipulation of gravity through intense rotating EM fields to produce strong frequency oscillations that intensified would open a small channel through spacetime. A black hole simply uses its intense gravity and imploding mass to punch a hole in spacetime. Vril tried a limited white hole effect. But no one has claimed that their JFM, Vril series of discs, or the huge cylindrical Andromeda machine actually accomplished this. Rather the opposite. The Vril 7 that tried from Arado-Brandenburg in late 1944 was completely wrecked in one experiment. Their claims are on the Vril page and no one is deleting that page. All I'm saying is that these people who come here don't know enough about the subject to credibly disprove the claims. Come back when you know more about German Secret Weapons technology, which at one time was 11,000 tons of military documents at Wright Field postwar.

- Although it is tagged as "inhaltlich aus dem Buch zitiert", this timetable and possible table of contents (and it seems just to be a part of something larger, as it hops between Old Egypt, Mesopotamy and others), smells very much of copyvio, although I think one won't find anything by googling; I'll have a look into our library, but t´his may take a day or two..Lectonar 06:10, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  - I found it in the German Wikepedia (Der Untergang des Abendlandes), the Decline of the West, which is already around here; the german article is slightly larger, including the part above, taken from the synopsis. I think the english article is just fine, and there is already a redirect from Der Untergang des Abendlandes. Perhaps this one here is just a temp article from someone trying to translate it. Lectonar 06:19, 25 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I've had a sniff round Thames' user page, and from his (I think "his") predilections and the edit summaries in the history of the German Decline page it would appear that he is using this German material to enrich the English article. Probably we should leave it alone, unless Thames appears to leave it adrift. Dave1898 14:39, 26 Apr 2005 (UTC)
- Thanks for the deference Dave1898. Lectonar is right that i used the this temp page for translation purposes. But my translation is retardedly bad, even when aided by google language tools. So I put in a request over at translation to english. Hopefully they can do a better job than I could. I guess you guys can delete it if you want--I'm not done the translation, and machine translators won't translate that far down the German article. So if you delete it, I'll have to rely entirely on the wikipedians over at german-to-english. I do admit, I've been in quite a lull recently. But if you all feel the deletion is urgently needed, go for it. —thames 08:41, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

John 20 and all of the linked verses

I deleted the entire text of the chapter. There are also links which appear to be an attempt to discuss every single freaking verse of the chapter. Is this a real necessity? Is this original research? Is all that commentary in the verse articles copyright violations? The World English Bible is certainly copyrighted as of 1997, so listing every verse in it is a copyvio. Rick K 09:24, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Why would it be original research, when the articles give references to published commentaries? Up land 10:09, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as per the discussion and conclusion to keep on VfD John 20:16. Commentary is not original reseach. Commentary on the verse does not violate copyright - commentary on a text is always within the bounds of fair use; it is the actual copying of a text beyond the bounds of fair use that violates copyright, including excessive quotation. There are almost certainly non-copyrighted versions of the bible available if there was any doubt about the amount that was being quoted.--AYArktos 10:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Actually I've had a look at all of the verse articles now and I think all of them are big enough to stand on their own, so change that to a keep. I would still recommend that short articles on biblical verses be merged into passages though. JYolkowski // talk 18:50, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. "I deleted the entire text of the chapter." Thank you. Simply repeating the text is not encyclopedic; Wikipedia is not a primary source. "There are also links which appear to be an attempt to discuss every single freaking verse of the chapter. Is this a real necessity?" How the articles are structured is a minor concern VfD need not be bothered with. Summary articles can be instituted as appropriate for verses that do not merit individual articles. As for the discussions themselves, they are notable and verifiable, vide the sources listed, and must be covered. Wikipedia aims to be complete. "Is this original research?" Not as long as the commentary is sourced. "Is all that commentary in the verse articles copyright violations?" The commentary? Of course not. If any parts of it are, remove and rewrite as appropriate. "The World English Bible is certainly copyrighted as of 1997, so listing every verse in it is a copyvio." No, for two reasons: a list of verses in the Bible is not copyrightable, this scheme having been established long before any period copyright can be applied to, and second, what AYArktos said. JRM · Talk 13:50, 2005 May 7 (UTC)
Delete. Keeping John 20:16 was a bad idea when it was up for VfD a while back, and keeping this is a bad idea now. What we need is a new sister project like Wiktionary or Wikisource, maybe called Wikibible, where this sort of thing can be discussed. But it's just not appropriate for inclusion in an encyclopedia. --Angr/_comhrá 13:52, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please notice your examples of sister project, as is the case with all Wikimedia sister projects, are medium forks (as in, the kind of information presented, not content forks.

Keep Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/John 20:16 was held only a few months ago, I don't see much reason for a second debate on this issue when the last one seemed fairly clear. Also the reason the World English Bible was chosen is because it is public domain and we don't need to worry about copyright issues.

If there are copyvios, replace the quotes by equivalent references to the KJV e-texts or another public source. Deleting the articles would seem to a bit overkill. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:17, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: We have attempted to discuss the copyright issues - please see my vote above and also the comments of JRM and SimonP. According to this encyclopaedia the World English Bible (confirmed by the web site of the World English Bible) is public domain. Secondly all of the verses of Chapter 20 in the Book of St John equate to less than one page's text in my version of the Bible (King James) and there are well over 800 pages - no way would quotation on this magnitude violate anybody's copyright law - but this is a tangent as the version of the bible being used is copyright free.

This discussion is clearly distinguished from recent discussions of excepts of the bible without commentary: VfD 1:26 and VfD Isiah 45. It is however, a seemingless gratuitous reprieve of the earlier discussion on VfD John 20:16 which concluded that commentary on bible verses was within the scope of Wikipedia. --AYArktos 21:20, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep As with previous discussion on John 20:16, it is not original research as shown by references and clearly not a copyvio. Bible commentary is encylopedic as would be commentary on any other major religious text.

Jeremy Broun

Highly POV vanity. User:213.40.131.65 admitted on Furniture Today that he is Jeremy Broun. If he were logged in we could Userfy this, but as it is, dlete. Rick K 09:46, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

This seems like the Gestapo ! What do you mean by 'admit' ? I am the author of Furniture Today !! What is wrong with my contributions to the knowledge base of tghis website please ? Am I expected to know what "userfy" means ?

Userfy is a local slang for moving the contents of the article into your user page. Users' personal page may contain any kind and amount of personal information (within reasonable limits, of course; gigabytes of photos will clearly be frowned upon). Mikkalai 20:44, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I'm not sure what the standards of fame are for a carpenter to get an article, but Jeremy Broun certainly deserves an article for his writing at least.

From Jeremy Broun on 8 May 2005 - I have withdrawn my articles Furniture Today and A History of Designer Makers as associated articles to my entry, due to further negative and insulting comments by "critics". What I have endeavoured to contribute in these two short articles has been criticized under your guidelines 'Blatant nonsense' by someone and as 'too enthusiastic' by another and as 'an essay, not a piece of Wikepedia writing' by someone else. If the writing aims to educate and inform does it really matter whether it is an essay or an article. As far as I am concerned I contributed these articles in the same way I contribute to the British media (except on this occasion I did not charge a fee). My style of delivery is an important and respected feature of my writing whilt the core of my writing is objective. Any professional knows that personal anecdote adds to the interest of an article. I get the feeling that the bulk of "critics" (eg "BigFatDave" ??) on this site are young students or people totally uneducated in the Crafts culture (in the UK) I have given 40 years of my working life to ? I am not prepared to have my professional (and respected in Britain) writing abused in this way. I joined this site in good faith in helping expand its knowledge base in my particular professional field of furniture design and making which is badly lacking. It appears to be a free for all for "critics" to hurl abuse or speak utter nonsense themselves ! I joined this site fresh just 24 hours ago and am disappointed at how democracy is so readily abused by so called free speech. What are the qualifications of those who have been so quick to degrade my writing and why are "critics" so quick to aggressively attack and find any excuse to reject my enlightened writing ? What are they actually trying to demonstrate or defend ? I thought this website was an International forum ?

- Unfortunately you misunderstood the purpose. It is not a forum. It is encyclopedia. An encyclopedia must have certain rules, otherwise you don't need it: just do google search and you have tons of text. I would like to deeply apologize for the reception you've got and I deeply regret the misunderstanding. It is really sad, since it seems that we are lacking editors with expertise in your area.

A History of Designer Makers and The History of Designer Makers

Not an encyclopedia article, but a (conference?) paper. Copyright status unclear. Delete or move to Wikisource if copyright is OK -- Chris 73 Talk 08:39, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Personal essay. Author (Helpfully listed above in the VFD list) has been posting vanity a good deal today. Didn't even take his byline off this one. Delete. Trylobyte 10:42, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am new to this today. I dont understand how this article can be described as "Vanity" and is likely to be deleted ? It is a well considered, articulate, informative, factually correct and unique ! I am a professional writer and published author ! Please advise . I have tried getting in touch with an adminstrator.

I improved the first article called "The History of Designer Makers" by changing its name to "A History of Designer Makers" assuming I could start afresh. What is a "byline".

There is a rather patronising implication that I am deliberately breaking the rules which is not the case. I am a respected practitioner in my field. I am merely attempting to expand the knowledge base of this amazing website so please do not be so quick to jump to criticism and kindly explain to me why you consider my article is "Vanity" . It is repreentatative of what is going on in my professional field TODAY based on a long and important tradition.

I apologize. There are a lot of people with anonymous IP addresses that come to Wikipedia and claim to be an expert, or impersonate someone else. Because you have not created an account, we cannot be sure that you are the real Jeremy Broun or an imposter. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 14:32, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Come on now. Let's remember to assume good faith here, at least. Jeremy Broun is a real person and can reasonably be called an expert on the fields of furniture and woodworking, but do you really think he's the sort of person that people would impersonate online?!? That's a real long shot, there. And to what end would this supposed impersonation be carried out? This isn't exactly a super-controversial topic here. To assume that a user is an imposter [of Jeremy Braun!] without the slightest shred of proof is against the very spirit of Wikipedia! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:52, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, I have been overreacting since I have been burned by many vandals damaging my talk pages in the last 24 hours. [5] [6] Zzyzx11 (Talk) 15:11, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am staggered by these remarks ! No I do not know what a "byline" is and yes I am a well known International author - one of my books "The Encyclopedia of Woodworking Techniques" is published in several languages including "USA English". Check out what "Starblind" has said about my entry at Jeremy Broun and my reputation.

If I am accused of "self promotion" of course through this knowledge base I am hoping to promote my proessional field which is neglected in Popular culture. Why is there this immediate level of aggressiveness ?!! My article is a historical document NOT a piece of propaganda or commercial advertizing. There has been very little written so far about the British Crafts Revival and you are fortunate that i am sharing this knowledge with you !

Sat 7 May - from Jeremy Broun (UK). I have learned a lot today and obviously I am a little naive as the above comments about imposters and vandals caught me totally by surprise. My aplogies for not registering/logging in. My only excuse is that I am a member of a dynamic UK WIKKI site (a forum for UK furniture makers) and we all edit freely, but having said that we are given a password. I was obviously too enthusiastic to submit my entry and two articles. I am sorry to have created such a stir when my intention was to add to this amazing knowledge bases which I came across by accident. I am the real Jeremy Broun if you care to enter my name in Google you will find numerous pages connected with my work. I am primarily an educator and if I promote myself in the process it is because I have learned it is necessary ! I do not participate in "Vanity" publishing but write objectively about a variety of topics.

Might I suggest you delete the first article "The History of Designer Makers" and allow "A History of Furniture Makers" to stand. I would like to add to the article something about the English Cotswold School of Designer Makers in the 20th Century which I had missed out.

I apologise if we gave a rude introduction here. You see because Wikipedia is popular free-content encyclopedia that anyone can edit, we are a target of vandals and imposters, either added nonsense to existing articles, or making up rubbish articles. Every day, new cases are added to our list of Vandalism in progress. So it sometimes gets many editors, including me, on extra, extra alert. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 19:30, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

My apology also. Of course I should have read your guidelines first and I fully appreciate the need to check authenticity. Sadly this wonderful tool called the Internet is abused. I have now registered and therefore hope that any contributions I make are accepted wihout raising the alarm. Jeremy Broun.(It does take a lomg time to digest the extent of the protocol !)I have also re-edited my article called "Furniture Today" and trust that is now acceptable.

Delete, unless a huge cleanup is done to make an encyclopedia article from this rhetorics. In the current state it is useless. Aslo the title is too broad. Does the article cover designer makers of jewelry? Also it looks like original research, disallowed in wikipedia. References are required. Mikkalai 20:46, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. So, I'm wondering who would ever enter "The[A] History of Designer Makers" into the WP searchbox. OK, right, I don't like the pagename for openers. And if I should stumble across this article I wouldn't know what to make of it. It doesn't look or read like an encyclopedia article but rather a page from a book about an obscure something that doesn't fit in here (and I really do like Random page). There may be good information here but it is so poorly formatted that it is almost unreadable. Perhaps a massive rewrite and a more logical pagename would get my vote to keep. hydnjo talk 01:33, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

From Jeremy Broun - in view of the last comment (by "Hydnjo") I have withdrawn my article. The article was originally written last week for a British Furniture Designer Makers Internet Forum after time consuming research and was entusiastically received. The title obviously refers to Furniture not Jewelry or other crafts because it was sited on a Furniture Design listing. I am not prepared to have my professional writing abused in such a Phillistine way when I submitted it in good faith to help broaden this knowledge base on my subject. I have made several changes to my article in my attempt to conform to your "rules" but it is just inviting further insult. Perhaps it would be a good idea to highlight and summarise the key rules for any new subscriber as it was misleading to me that this is a freely editable website as obviously the rules are extensive. 8 May2005.

Eco-Social Democracy

It's an extremely limited neologism: 2 web hits for eco-social democracy, 1 for eco-social democratic that isn't one person's personal ad, and nothing for eco-social democrat. The only inbounds are redirects Eco-Social Democratic and Eco-Social Democrat created by the same author. That author, User:Michaelm, has been part of a continuing series of disputes as he has edited politicians and political parties to attach his own idiosyncratic labels without explanation or against consensus. User talk:Michaelm, Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Michaelm, Wikipedia talk:Requests for comment/Michaelm.

Delete. Local slang. There's plenty of ways to commit suicide (of family and friends, off the top of my head, two shot themselves, one took an intentional drug overdose, and the other hung himself), jumping off something tall is just one of many--don't really see a need for separate articles on each one. Suicide#Methodology already mentions "jumping from height"--if someone wants to expand that (possibly breaking the section into its own single separate article (Suicide methodology, or whatever), since Suicide is 51k), that would be a better place for the concept. Niteowlneils 00:01, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually there already is a HUGE article Suicide methods. Mikkalai
  - Dunno how I missed the link, thanks. Suicide methods is only 17k, but doesn't have much detail about jumping from bridges. Good re-write, SimonP, but I still think that the content should be added to the Suicide methods article, with a redir to it. As for Hydnjo's suggestion, defining what is a 'suicide bridge' seems far too subjective to be practical--is George Washington Memorial Bridge a "suicide bridge"? How many suicides does it take to qualify? How many attempts? If someone survives an attempt, does that disqualify it? This is supposed to be a worldwide, timeless encyclopedia, not suicide_methods.com. Documenting methods seems reasonable--trying to document what methods are most successful`/desirable, not so much. Niteowlneils 07:12, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I have rewritten the article. It is a well documented idea that certain bridges attract far more than their share of suicide attempts. - SimonP 02:11, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was REWRITTEN; different topic; VfD no longer apply; kept
- VfD invalidly closed by User:Mikkalai.
  - VfD is closed validly. Please refresh your knowledge of the policies. The content of the article now is on a completely different topic, and if you want to merge the new article, then be bold. Merging is not the topic to be discussed here. Mikkalai 15:28, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - I beg your pardon, Mikkalai, but at Wikipedia:Deletion policy it clearly states that the VfD remains open for 5 days. Period. Regardless of where consensus seems to be heading. Furthermore, the VfD template says "please do not blank, merge or move" the article while it's listed here. At least one Maintenance page says that after the 5 days a non-admin can close the discussion if the consensus is clearly "Keep", but this is not mentioned on some other deletion policy pages. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that some admins seem to view "Merge" votes as different from "Keep" votes. Regardless, you did close the VfD invalidly. Soundguy99 02:46, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - No, allow me to beg pardon. You seem to have a bad habit to read only what you like. If another solution has been found for some of these pages than deletion, leave them listed on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion for a short while, so the original poster can see why it wasn't deleted, and what did happen to it. This will prevent reposting of the same item. After the original poster has seen the explanation, or in any case after about a day, the page can be delisted from VfD.
      - the article is not only different, it is for 100% different topic. It no longer belongs to VfD. I don't care about this silly article. I do care about wasted time of other people who have to look thru heaps of garbage. If something can be delisted, so be it. Mikkalai 07:25, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        Well, you may think so, but most of the votes were cast after Smerdis's rewrite, so apparently a number of people disagree. Also, I couldn't find the 'section 1.6' you mention anywhere on WP:VFD, WP:DP, or the admin guidelines. R adiant _* 08:50, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
        OK then. About section 1.6: I forgot that I have section numbering turned on in my settings, so this number is not part of section title. Please search for the cited text in Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Mikkalai 18:24, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge with Suicide, most of this article's content is trivial (e.g. "these suicides are more likely then others to be impulsive") and the selection of bridges is entirely arbitrary, and no sources are cited. Radiant_* 13:18, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
- Merging with huge article is not advisable. Also, merging should be discussed at talk pages, not at VfD. Also, it goes to Suicide methods. Also, there are already separate articles about specific types of suicide, e.g., Suicide by cop. The triviality of content is not among criteris for deletion. We have much more trivia here. Mikkalai 15:28, 9 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Merge is a valid VfD vote. R adiant _* 08:50, May 10, 2005 (UTC)
  - Yes, but it is counted into "keep" and it is a suggestion, not obligatory. Things must be kept simple. This is vote for deletion. You cannot put all possible editing decisions into VfD. "cleanup" and "rewrite" are also valid votes. This vote is a request for deletion, and the only outcomes are to keep or delete. After it was decided to keep an article, the rest of its fate is to be decided at its talk page, not here. Everyone really has to periodically refresh the understanding of policies. Very often a customary usage tricks you into an illusion of understanding. And it is understandable: there are so many policies around. Mikkalai 18:24, 10 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Some admins count it into 'keep', some others do not. I would like a more strict ruling either way, but I'm afraid that would be instruction creep. From WP:GVFD, "If the consensus is to merge the article and the merger would be a non-trivial one, many administrators, hard-pressed for time, will only begin the article merger process, by tagging the article." Btw I am unable to find "100%" or "article topic" on WP:DP, nor 'changed' except in context of redirects (of course, given that some policy pages are reworded daily doesn't really help :) ).

additional comment: the semi-policy Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies states that a published author who has written a book with an audience of 5,000 falls within the criteria for inclusion. Robert Muchamore's audience > 5,000.

Comment on the above vote - the last vote was 2 for rewrite and 2 3 for delete, the result delete. One vote for delete stated "No Amazon sales rankings are listed", while another voter stated "Amazon suggests he actually sells quite a few books". Amazon sales rankings are listed for the Cherub series, however, Amazon sales rankings are at best not easy to interpret (an FAQ on Amazon sales rankings). The books are stocked and read in Canberra, read in England, and read in the US - read by children not (in general) wikipedians - the author fits the criteria for inclusion as a biography on the basis that the audience is > 5,000 --AYArktos 07:42, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You need to look again. There are three delete votes (all in bold) and no keep votes. (You can consider the source of this vote to be the rewrite.) Challenging Amazon rankings doesn't affect my vote. I doubt if it will do so for anyone else. - Tεx τ urε 14:45, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

the Amazon UK ranking for the recruit is 4,156 [8]. Not sure what this tells anyone, more meaningful is the listing (one of three in category) for the Red House Children's book of the year award. The award has been running for 25 years (not flash in the pan) and Muchamore's first novel was one of three selected out of 262 candidates of books for older readers. How will Wikipedia be improved by deleting an article about a shortlisted children's author? The criteria for inclusion of buiographies would seem, as noted above, to include this article within its scope--AYArktos 23:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A person's interesting conjectures as to the future needs of the US Navy. However, a person's conjectures are not encyclopedic. --FCYTravis 21:46, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It can't be from a public release of the navy itself ("threats... of the People's Republic of China and possibly a resurgent Russia"); on the chance the authors are taking these proposals from a significant think tank or analyst active in the public discourse, they could possibly be mentioned, attributed to their source, somewhere related article. I doubt it though. The only real information is that there are 12 supercarriers and 25 Ticonderoga-class Cruisers. Delete: crystal ball, POV, soapbox. Samaritan 21:50, 7 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, no notability. K1Bond007 05:30, May 8, 2005 (UTC)
Comment disagree on notability. Product does exist (vers 1.0 and 2.0 are finished and 3.0 is in beta) and has been used to create finished and playable games. "VERGE engine" via Google yields 466K, "VERGE game" 778K, however "VERGE vecna" only 1.4K. Probably will never be labeled 'complete' and will almost certainly never be published in solid state, creating bizarre limbo in terms of Wiki Is Not Crystal Ball. Notable IMO, and needs expanding (which I have done), but still may not belong here. ~~No vote~~. Marblespire 06:31, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't know what you guys consider "notable", but how can Verge be considered "non-notable" when it provided a (albeit incomplete) product/service at a time when there was no equivelent toolkit software available to english speaking people? It may be obscure, and more deserving of mention in an article on the "history of homebrew RPG development", but by all means, don't let a portion of internet history go to the wayside. 66.1.102.198 07:20, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems to be a real game. You don't find it listed in online stores because it's available for free. --Tokek 20:00, 8 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it's not a real game, it's a game creation tool. There are quite a bunch of those, and most of them never get anywhere. Google test seems appropriate. Delete unless notability established. Radiant_* 13:22, May 9, 2005 (UTC)
  - Disagree "never get anywhere," as this software has been successfully used, which many others can't claim. But how many games has it actually produced? A dozen or so. But if we have RPG Maker, we should probably have this. Weak Keep. Marblespire 07:38, 11 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Fanji

This is a fictional term (and a poor one at that) or an extremely, extremely rare term. I did a Google search:

Results 1 - 7 of about 9 for fanji anime -encyclopedia -wikipedia. (0.07 seconds) The mius signs tells google to not show results that contain those terms. The narrowing was required to eliminate most of the taichi results (apparently a Chinese proper noun, possibly part of a person's name) and wikipedia mirrors.

However, only one person uses the word in results 1-3 (by "Eldrick Tobin, Master of Perversion"). Non-english occurances occur in result 5 ("Htb lei fanji lpuejci enynk dydlaz mf") and results 7, 11, 15, 16 ("o fanji degli MP3nji, ti cade il pisello, e"). In two results it occurs as a part of a URL ("fanji.edu.mx") and other results (7) show "fanji" occuring as part of an encoded data (e.g. fanJi+qPw2CxGt). Only one person on Earth using the word is not note-worthy. --69.214.226.102 20:49, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
