Vanity article (subject and author's name are the same). There are some claims of notability in there, but I doubt he meets WP:BIO standards, and if he does it still needs a major rewrite. Userfication maybe? -R. fiend 00:05, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Superior Model Management

[edit]

Like uh, at the most, it's 29 days old. Wikipedia is not a company launch announcement service.-- Perfecto 00:37, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • not delete This might be no relevant information for people in all country's but it is for people in Holland. Because of this is an international encyclopedia I think this article is allowed to stay. It is no ad, because there is no text such as "visit this site now" or something. Just the same as for example Elite Model Management. Regards P.S. Sorry for my bad english I hope you all understand my words. Comment pls? DC.
  • This agency has a supermodel Lonneke Engel. I also wanted to make a listing for Premier Model Management who has Naomi Campbell but that is also not allowed? DC.
  • Delete - I removed the unverified claims of representation made in the article. Voters may wish to view the old version if they haven't already. If the claims are correct, please cite a reliable source. At the moment, there is no source, not even the company itself (which wouldn't be sufficient, but would help). --Rob 01:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • So when there is a source you will accept. Well in that case i understand but still one advice. Remove the words "the company claims" I think you are not the company so you are not alllowed to speak for them in negative way. ;) And the other question, would you accept premier model management as agency for Naomi? DC.
    • If there is verifiable information about the organization, then it will be considered, but by no means assured of acceptance. Personally, I would accept an article with a modest number of models with qualified articles. However, other editors are much stricter, so I don't want to suggest if you spent a lot of time finding sources, you'll be assured of acceptance, as you won't be. Finding verifiable information is merely the starting point of consideration. Generally, when an article is seen as advertising, editors are much stricter in terms of demanding clear proof of notability. But, I can't really speak for other editors. Also, I reworded the article, as best I could, so as to avoid anybody being mislead into thinking Wikipedia is vouching for any claims. We can't state as fact what this organizataion does, because we don't know. We have no knowledge that this company actually represents any models. But, we do know it claims to. All I did is state the facts, as best as is known.--Rob 02:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Only relevant page about him that comes up on Google is his mini-biography on the website of his college sports team, and even that doesn't say anything of much interest. The picture in the article should probably be deleted, too. Hbackman 00:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

EFanzines.com

[edit]

Another site from the submitters of FanboyPlanet.com that fails WP:WEB. -- Perfecto 00:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

But it passes WP:WEB criterion 2, including significant content that "has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation." The deletion-nominator has edited the article to remove references to that content, and I've restored them. Monicasdude 12:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Monicsdude, please cite sources, so we're sure you're not pulling it out of an another Fanzine's hat. --Perfecto 14:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why do you think the linked, already well-documented Wikipedia articles (the references you deleted) aren't sufficient to support an assertion of notability? The publications/writers are listed on the front page of the Efanzines site. We're not talking about terribly obscure stuff here, after all. The site has 30,000+ Google hits, as well. Indiscriminately tagging articles for deletion because you think their creator is a self-promoting jackass isn't good practice (even when the creator is a self-promoting jackass). Monicasdude 14:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
PS ...and what you wrote is, the fanzines it happens to have permission to host won an award, not the site. WP:WEB??
Yes, that's accurate. Under WP:WEB criterion 2, it's sufficient if either "The website or content" has won a recognized award. Since you agree that the site includes award-winning content, what's your argument for deletion? That the site can't be notable because it includes too much content? Monicasdude 14:46, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm OK with an article on Energumen (fanzine), with an external link to efanzine. Let's see what others think. --Perfecto 15:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I still don't see what your argument for deletion is, since you aren't disputing that the site meets WP:WEB criterion 2. Energumen is by no means the only relevant content on this point, and, aside from those, quite a few of the fanzines/writers who didn't win Hugos meet the alternative standard that "Being nominated for an award in multiple years is also considered an indicator of notability." Monicasdude 16:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Eusebeus 07:30, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. This is another that I put up, partly because of my close friendship with one of the principals. I think eFanzines.com is the most important site in fandom right now due to the fact that it is one of maybe two that are trying to 1) preserve fanzines from the past by providing a space for the scans to be stored and accessed and is 2) the largest site for current fanzines to be seen by a larger audience. It is an important site, nominated for the Hugo Award for Best Website in 2005 and should be included.
  • Delete as non-notable and approaching vanity. Looks like a group of folks willing to create articles for each other and vote for each other when AfDs come up (see Christopher J. Garcia). --Bugturd Talk 01:04, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Look, I've not no connection with the self-promoting clown who created this batch of articles, and the only AfD I object to is this one. This site has content that's undeniably notable (having won the recognized Hugo Award), and the overall site was nominated for that award last year. Nobody here denies that the site is notable under criterion 2 of WP:WEB. "Created by a self-promoting jackass" is not a sufficient reason for deletion if the subject of the article meets notability criteria. Monicasdude 01:12, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • regardless of what you think of me or my other posts, if I had never posted anything else, would eFanzines.com be considered? I'd say it would. It does pass WP:WEB Criterion 2, as pointed out, but more importantly, it's a site that hosts zines created by at least five Hugo winners, many nominees (at least ten that I can find) and at least two Hugo-winning fanzines. It also won a FAAn Award in 2004 and is widely regarded in fandom.Mlloyd

Projectplace (software)

[edit]

Previously deleted in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Projectplace (software), WP:DRV overturned the deletion with some concerns over the thoroughness of the debate. To see those concerns, please see this version of DRV. This debate is thus opened to give a more thorough treatment. -Splashtalk 00:58, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete as advertisement. --Bugturd 01:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No verifiable notability info in article yet.--ragesoss 02:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:40, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless properly sourced. No independent evidence has yet been offered that this meets any of our recommended inclusion criteria (see WP:CORP). Some evidence was offered during the DRV debate but it all traced back to the company's own website and press releases. This does not constitute the kind of independent, verifiable sources necessary to support an article. Rossami (talk) 15:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't believe WP:CORP applies here, because this article is about software, not a company. Would you apply WP:CORP to Microsoft Project? The software exists, was one of the first and is one of the few of its kind, and this is a STUB. What's the big deal? --Tsavage 16:18, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, because WP:CORP explicitly deals with both companies and products. See the section titled "Criteria for products and services". The existence of the software is not questioned. However, mere existence is not sufficient for an encyclopedia article. The claim that this product is either "one of the first" or "one of the few" of anything remains unsourced and unverified through any citation except sources which were traced back to the company itself. I'm going to stick to our policy that the article must be built from and supported by independent sources. As I said during the DRV discussion, this application does not show up in any of the independent journals or reviewers that would be expected to cover such software. For example, neither Gartner Group nor Forrester Research have any listing for them. Rossami (talk) 18:49, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • IMO, you're taking that part of WP:CORP out of context, or at least interpreting the guideline in an arbitrary way (which is, of course, your prerogative). First: Do you mean that all products must first appear under their company names, until such time as that company article gets too big? If Projectplace was sold to We Now Own Project Place LLC of Phoenix, Arizona, would that become the primary article title (IOW, in this case, it makes sense to make the software the primary title)? Second: Are you suggesting that all articles containing uncited claims, like "one of the first", be submitted to AfD (isn't developing sources and ironing out routine editoral questions properly part of the basic WP editing process, with Talk page)? (Also, you refer to Gartner Group and Forrester Research. They are big "brands" in online market research, but do they operate equally in Europe where this product's base seems to be, and, how entirely reliable are they as sources? In the 1990s, practically all of their for-hire, research-based dotCom marketing advice was subsequently proven to be absolutely wrong.) It really seems to me, with this second AfD nom, the intent of the objectors so far is to pound this stub into the ground unless it meets WP:FA standards. --Tsavage 19:20, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
          • Unsourced claims must be substantiated or they must be removed from the article. The question is whether, after removing all the unsourced claims, there will be anything left of the article. So far, no cites have been provided that trace to anything other than company literature. As to Gartner and Forrester, yes, they do have excellent coverage in Europe and yes they are generally reliable sources. (I would dispute your allegation about .com marketing advice but even if true, they were hardly alone in the .com bust.) Regardless, they are independent sources. If you have a different independent source that you prefer, please present it. I used them only as examples. This stub does not have to reach Featured Article standards but it does have to meet minimum WP:V standards. Rossami (talk) 19:58, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
            • Seems like a lot of argument over trying to rekill a stub. There should be little doubt now that this is a worthy stub, so what is the point? You may dispute the ASP information, but it's kind of obvious and simply waiting for a source (like many other WP articles) -- on that point of "notability", are you arguing that Projectplace wasn't launched in 1998 (the domain name was registered 12-May-1998), or that there were many, many other commercial ASPs at the time?

            • There's now a citation for "one of the first". Hopefully, Bloor Research meets the research and analysis credibility standard of Gartner and Forrester... --Tsavage 21:54, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
              • Your objections seem to have been satisfied. The "notability claim" of being a pioneer in Web applications is sourced -- is that source not good enough? The software won a European Union best practices award. It was selected as the development environment for a university-level teaching method that has been adopted. All of that is cited. What next? --Tsavage 02:08, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Changing to abstain. Right now, the article hinges on a single independent cite. Bloor Research does show up as an independent research entity. From the evidence I've found, no, they do not rise to the level of Gartner or Forrester but Bloor is not the topic of this discussion. I still think this company is too small to meet my personal standards for inclusion (total revenues in 2004 of approx $6 million and only 34 employees) and that their product is only marginally innovative but the article no longer violates WP:V. I'll give this the benefit of doubt for a while. Rossami (talk) 23:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep See CNBC documentaries on this company, see official anual results, see advertising in Nordic region (IDG), Benelux (NRC Handelsblad), Germany (Systems, Cebit, print) and the UK. See the actual service if you don't believe the limited information in the article. The features and info is something I experienced myself. It's verifyable because everyone can actually contact this company and use the service! Has any of the above "no evidence" people actaully spent any time on investigating this or are you guys just claiming something for the sake of?
  • Keep. It is a well known company in Norway and Sweden. --Sleepyhead 19:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Notable enough for CNBC Europe. Randomgenius 20:49, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I looked around during the previous DR, and found sufficient material apart from the company web site to indicate that it as notable enough company, and a significant competitor in its field of collaboration software. In addition, the article is software, so I don't see how WP:CORP exactly applies, are we to include only products from companies that meet WP:CORP guidelines? It may be a little uglier than most, but a stub is a stub... To call it advertising and demand references is excessive. (I'll also clean up the stub to make it more stubby.) In fact, looking at their logo just now, I remember I had a demo account way back (1999-2000 or so) along with a couple of other online collaboration services I was trying out. So, unless I'm just plain lying or delusional, yes, I am personally certain that this is a working company that's been around for a while. --Tsavage 20:17, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anthropos Consulting and Corporate Anthropology

[edit]

Non-notable company. I am also nominating Corporate Anthropology in with this article as they reference each other and the "corporate anthropology" article seems to be an advert for Anthropos. Andy Saunders - 00:59, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not true that Anthropos Consulting is a non-notable company. If you visit the site www.anthropos.com.br and look at client list you´ll find most of the 500 Fortune companies with branches in Brazil and Latin America. As the first established company in corporate anthropology it´s natural the link. It will be a loss for Wikipedia to not have corporate anthropology and Anthropos Consulting in file. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Marinsfilho (talk • contribs)

  • Delete non-notable producer. --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I vote to not delete this article, not because of Mr. Garcia's film credits (which are, as stated below, insignificant), but because of his fanzine writing credits. This fanzine "The Drink Tank" has published an astounding 64 issues in its premiere year. He writes for fanboyplanet, but is independent of them, and efanzines.com (which was nominated for a Hugo award last year) only publishes his fanzine online - he does not write for them per se. http://efanzines.com/DrinkTank/index.htm Frank Wu 10:44 30 January 2006 PST
  • Keep. I made it and I stand by it. He has produced three films that I know of and another that's coming soon (or so he's said in his writing). As far as mot being notable, I'd say that he's more notable as a fanzine editor and Computer Historian than as a filmmaker anyhow and should remain. IMDB also lists him as the producer and writer of The Chick Magnet under the name Chris Garcia http://www.imdb.com/name/nm1829545/. I also disagree with the deletion of fanboyplanet.com, though it happened while I wasn't watching. His wrestling reports are also significant.

Valhalla legends and BNLS

[edit]

These were previously AfD'd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Valhalla legends(delete) and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/BNLS(redirect). Taken to WP:DRV there were concerns over the Valhalla legends debate and an observation of the close relation between the two articles. The feeling of the debate was the Valhalla legends should be restored and re-AfD'd, and that BNLS should be considered alongside it. I've reverted BNLS to it's pre-AfD state for this purpose. A split outcome may be necessary. -Splashtalk 01:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Could you please clarify what concerns these were and where the discussion about this can be found? DreamGuy 02:22, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The concerns were brought by Harrym at WP:DRV, however, the content of the deletion reviews seem to have been purged and updated since, and I am unable to locate an archive for those discussions. If someone more familiar with the system here is able to unearth that discussion, that would be extremely helpful, but in its absence, I'll try to summarize it briefly - anyone else who remembers what was said there is welcome to fill in any blanks I leave behind.
The core of the argument was that Valhalla Legends is a programming and software development organization and not one based on gaming. The problem with the original AfD nomination was that the outcome appears to have been based almost entirely on votes cast which were more or less irrelevant to the issue of whether vL should or should not be deleted; this can be in part blamed on the niche which the organization largely occupies.
I believe the general concensus of the deletion review was to restore the page and give it a chance to be updated to better reflect notability and verifiability, then be relisted for a more informed discussion. The second part of that chain seems to have been skipped over, however.
Finally, I don't want to be overly critical, but the delete vote issued above by is exactly why the original AfD result was challenged and overturned. Valhalla Legends is not a "gaming clan;" attemping to have it deleted based on that reasoning is not going to be productive, in my opinion, and will likely simply to lead to a repetition of the deletion review that caused this relisting if more such votes are filed.

  • BNLS: Keep. 350,000 logins per day must surely exceed the nascent Wikipedia: Notability (software) guidelines. -Ikkyu2 06:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both. I reviewed the DRV comments and can see the concerns raised insofar as fragged out clancruft doesn't cover BNLS. But the question of notablity still pertains and neither of these meet threshhold, imo. I note Ikkyu's point but since the existence of the software is inseparable from its single-application use, the notability should be considered jointly. Eusebeus 07:45, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I'm not quite sure I understand youur comment on my point. As I understand it, the software lets users play some historical (no-longer supported) Blizzard games in multiplayer mode, without having to use the company's Battle.net servers (which were shut down years ago). Whether or not that's notable, 350,000 logins per day seems to document that the software has well in excess of the 5000 users needed for notability, and that's what I based my opinion on. -Ikkyu2 08:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete both, and hopefully also we can have the anti-deletionists at WP:DRV cleared out so we don't have to vote on everything multiple times. It's bad enough that the standards for deletion consensus are extremely high and that delete and redirect votes are counted separately instead of realizing one should default to the other in a conflict versus keeping, but then we also have to satisfy some people overturning votes on flimsy reasons. This is getting ridiculous. DreamGuy 18:41, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have to say I find this point of view confusing (and this is not the first time a similar opinion has been posted). If BNLS is a notable achievement (and it seems that you are conceding that it might be), how can it be argued that the creator of that service has not achieved notability? You can't have BNLS without Valhalla legends, but Valhalla legends would be what it is whether or not BNLS had ever been released for public consumption. Essentially I find it difficult to separate the product from the product's creator; perhaps I am misunderstanding how notability applies to different kinds of subjects, but I feel that if a product is a notable achievement, the creator of that product by definition has done something notable. Zakath 19:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wholly reject the assertion that creation of a notable product confers notability back to the creator, particularly in respect to Wikipedia. Take the article on Dr. Pepper for example, even though the creator of Dr. Pepper is wikilinked in the article, it is a redirect back to the Dr. Pepper article. The product is of far greater importance than the creator; he is almost a footnote to the product itself. I don't concede that "BNLS is a notable achievement"... I have no strong opinion on that either way. Valhalla legends has no strong claim to notability in my estimation. A mention in the BNLS would suffice if that article survives the AfD. My vote stands.--Isotope23 18:14, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: People are apparently not even taking the time to READ the comments that people familiar with this topic are making. Valhalla Legends is not a gaming clan. It has no relation to gaming other than that some of its members play games. That is not its goal, nor is it the reason for its foundation, nor is it rational to state otherwise. I believe I laid out a good case at the DRV for keeping both of these articles. I included links to support my argument as far as possible. I feel strongly that people who are considering voting for deletion should at the very least read these arguments and attempt to rebuf them before casting their vote. Harry Metcalfe 20:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Should that be the case, how about you rewrite the article to state said facts, instead of insulting people. I vote Delete until such a time as the article is rewritten. --Agamemnon2 08:10, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: As Harrym alluded to, people are dismissing this out of hand and it is frustrating. To comment at Agamemnon: we don't have the opportunity to rewrite the article, and when we do, we are told that we are not verifiable because many of us interested in keeping the article are primary sources, which means that the claims are not verifiable.

Further, dismissing this article out of hand as gamercruft is obnoxious. It's not a gaming organization, as stated repeatedly. I understand what the term means.

To correct the factual inaccuracies on this log, BNLS is not a matchmaking service like Bnetd was. It provides the client-side authentication measures to connect and authenticate to Battle.net. This enables third-party clients to connect to the official service and emulate the somewhat odd authentication schemes implemented by Blizzard with ease. As noted in the BNLS article, there are alternative libraries and implementations of this service, each with varying degrees of popularity. However, if the 350,000 users per day is accurate, but there were less than the cut-off of 5,000 users, that would mean each user would need to connect to BNLS 70 times per day. This is clearly (I should say, clear to someone within the niche) improbable, as a Battle.net Chat Service (the community name for the protocol) connection is fairly stable as long as it is not violated, and can last for multiple days if not abused. When one considers that Battle.net even allows up to seven connections from a single IP address, maxed out, that means that every single user would be permitted up to ten connections per day to reach this number. Still, this is highly improbable.

Also, many of these third-party clients do not actually play the games produced by Blizzard, but merely emulate the communications protocol involved in the connection. This protocol is extensively (and originally) documented at BnetDocs, as Harrym pointed out in the deletion review. This collection of information also includes information on multiplayer game information, although very few bot developers target this particlar subset of functionality.

The most particular notable distinction that this community has made is that it has been a sustaining force for Battle.net. There is no question that Starcraft is an immensely popular game. Developers have made bots for a plethora of reasons -- simply to chat, to log channel activity, to moderate meetings, to host tournaments -- the list goes on. Valhalla Legends has been a highly reputable source of information and services for this niche for some time.

Simply because you are not part of a niche does not give you the right to dismiss its members (by which I mean members of this particular niche, not this particular clan) out of a derogatory term. I understand the implied meaning behind "gaming clan cruft, plain and simple." It is unfounded. Robert Paveza 02:39, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment I have to agree with Rober Paveza here. "gaming clan cruft" is not a complimentary term, and using such terms completely avoids the substance of the argument, which is whether or not the subject meets notability requirements. The nature of the subject is not what is under debate. Valhalla Legends is not a gaming group, and no matter how many people misinterpret it as such, it will not alter the fact that it is not. I have yet to see a single person actually rebuff the arguments that caused an unchallenged reversal of the original deletion vote. While at present I would agree that the article has little to recommend it, Harrym presented a very persuasive defense of the subject, and I think that if the article were rewritten to better reflect the information he provided, it would be a worthwhile addition to WP. That issue has thus far been ignored by every single poster to file a delete vote.

Nobody is asking you to write it. However, if you want to hold to this position then go and merge all the variants of poker (again, Wiki is not paper) into one page to show you're serious then go nuts with Motorola...

  • comment, this guy has authored a few books, so does that mean he is worthy of an article on wikipedia? if so, why isn't every university lecturer or professor worthy, because they publish work every few weeks or months?Helzagood 01:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The Myth of Hitler's Pope has sold well, has had a high public profile, and already had a page here. So, not an average academic production. For myself, I would say mapping out academia is a reasonable longer-term aim for WP anyway. Those who write books, rather than papers, are the place to start because people are more likely to want reference information on the author of a book they have. That should be a criterion: do people want to look up this person on WP? In the case of Dalin, the answer is a clear 'yes': a rabbi writes a passionate defence of a pope. Charles Matthews

Asia District, Peru

[edit]

This is a short article that reads like a Department of Commerce description. The article fails to note what is remarkable or notable about this district other than it is a center of commerce in Peru. I'm not sure it would be prudent to create an article about every center of commerce in every city of every nation. Admittedly, I could be in err about this so I submit to the community. James084 02:13, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. Seems to be a beach district in the Canete province in Peru but much of the information seems to be based on Wikipedia. It would be useful to have input of Peruvian Wikipedians but we don't seem to have a noticeboard for Peruvian Wikipedians or a general South American one. If this is a real district with real community of interest, I would vote to keep but I am not confident. Capitalistroadster 03:01, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. It's a real place where people live and work; that makes it notable unless it's extremely small. I agree in the strongest possible terms that the article could benefit from much improvement via consensus editing. -Ikkyu2 05:11, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete unless rewritten per nom. Comment: I am uncomfortable in general voting "weak keep" or "keep and rewrite". Too many articles survive AfD on this basis and susbsequently do not get rewritten. Zunaid 13:19, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Questions That's a fair point. Do closing admins actually check if votes like Keep if rewritten have had the article rewritten or not? Is it fair to ask them to? I'm just asking the questions, not implying they do or don't. Dlyons493 Talk 20:56, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Simon Dowling and Work In Progress EP

[edit]

Non-notable musician. Delete. Work In Progress EP is being nominated as the musician's equally un-notable debut EP. Andy Saunders 02:20, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Yes indeed, fair enough but I know the criteria as well as anyone and the point of AfD is to give opinions based on interpretation of said critera and nominated articles... Having read the articles it is IMO obvious that this is vanity by someone whose music catalogue is theoretical to say the least. I accept there are two articles here, the second of which might not technically be eligible for speedy but contains the words "recorded in his bedroom". I'm not an admin so I don't make final decisions and if my opinions are considered outwith WP guidelines then by all means ignore them... Deiz 03:08, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'd prefer it if spods who record experimental music in their bedrooms didn't put themselves forward to be in an encylopedia but you can't have it all, eh? Deiz 20:28, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Hey people, if you feel it is non-notable and all your other wiki-lingo terms to say it should be there, feel free to delete it. I may have misunderstood the 'free space' idea behind wikipedia, I have my myspace to promote from. I wasn't in wikipedia for promotion at all, I thought I could just do it. I'm amazed you're all so tight arse, for want of a better term, about it, just delete it. And don't call me a 'spod', whatever it is, name-calling is neither big nor clever. And my music is not experimental, if you look at the influences there is no mention of Pink Floyd, or drug-induced melodies, it is simple acoustic rock/emo. Also, with regards to 'bedroom recordings', you'll notice that Jonah Matranga, Willy Mason, Blink-182 and Foo Fighters have all released records that have been recorded, at least partly, in bedrooms. You people jump to A LOT of conclusions, I mean, aren't you a bunch of geeks that spend all day on the internet, you'd have noticed my ISP or whatever its called is different to that of a 'Christopher Marshall Mason' (Ha, he has the same middle name as Jimi Hendrix, we'll have to meet up for a drink)
  • Yep It has to be said he has a point, at least he's in some way talented eh?
  • Simon, respect for your response there which is fair comment. The AfD arena can be a nasty place and once an article ends up here it's open season. The trouble is, it largely comes down to one word - notability. If an article is clearly unnotable (think about what is found in a paper encyclopedia and read the WP guidelines) then there's not a lot that can be done to save it and and when unsigned comments appear saying "Oh, I've heard of him" it looks crap. I apologize for calling you a spod / experimental, the sentiment was directed towards "Christopher" or whoever wrote the unsigned comment. Signing your own comments would also help, we don't all go around detecting IP addresses for fun. I still think that putting "recorded in his bedroom" looked a bit crap on the EP article... Good luck with the music, I look forward to seeing you here in the future - having your vanity article deleted is a right of passage for many WP users (yup, me included) but in the meantime why not stick around and contribute to some pages featuring music and artists you care about. If you're serious about spreading the word I'd be genuinely interested to hear some of your stuff, if you have any mp3's then get in touch via my talk page. Deiz 13:40, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • To be honest Deiz I thought writing my entire name was signing it enough SIGNED CHRIS MASON!!!!
  • This is possibly just inexperience with Wikipedia then, to sign your name (or IP if you aren't logged in) and the time then hit 4 tildes or in other words ~ ~ ~ ~ with no gaps. That's a WP signature and when dealing with sockpuppets (as you may imagine, this happens a lot with deletion debates, the creator of the article saying "I've heard of him" while claiming to be someone else) opinions signed by WP editors with a track record of edits are taken seriously, unsigned comments or comments by users with very shallow edit histories are not treated with the same respect. But anyway Chris, by now I'm sure you've perused Wikipedia's guidelines about signatures, notability of musicians and lots more besides. ++Deiz 19:09, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Non notable. This means not already well known, or not significant in some way. A not well know scientist who made a breakthrough would still be notable.

By your standard any not descript animal with no real defining charateristics would be deleted as non-notable. However, we list them all as separate things.

Comment: Eh, I don't think this is one of those issues where everybody walks away happy. Nonetheless, the AfD as it stands makes a good case. The article is currently a waste of HD space. If by some miracle the article were to undergo an amazing transformation wherein it was wikified, formatted, neutral, accurate, cited, and squeaky clean, I might consider changing my vote. Mostly, I'm against a site that might not be universally considered notable as having an article. My point of view would likely be drastically different if the article were about the organization rather than the website...anyways, if the article shows marked improvement before the discussion closes, I will reconsider my vote, which I think is about as happy everyone gets. - CorbinSimpson 09:21, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was speedy keep. See WP:DRV. -R. fiend 05:29, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clarification: This nomination was closed early because there was already an on-going discussion at Wikipedia:Deletion review. The renomination should not have been created until that discussion had a chance to conclude. This prevents confusing and circular discussions. It also prevents any appreance of impropriety through "forum-shopping". Rossami (talk) 02:42, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As nominator I want to record the fact that I strongly dissent from any implication that an AfD discussion, which is based on consensus, can be prevented from proceeding because there is a prior discussion on DRV, which is not consensus-based. I see no reason why this nomination should not be re-opened by anyone wishing to record their opinion of whether this article should be deleted, but I will not edit war. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 09:22, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of state-named Avenues in Washington, D.C.

[edit]

This article was listed previously.

The result was no consensus, and as is normal for such a result the article was kept. Someone has queried this result on the basis that he thinks the discussion favored deletion, and he has taken the unusual step of going to Wikipedia:Deletion review to try to get it deleted. Since Deletion Review is one of our few forums that are not consensus-based, I think it's probably fairer if the article is relisted for discussion in this consensus-based forum. I recommend, I admit rather lukewarmly, a keep, and present my arguments below. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 02:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Looks like a perfectly good article to me. The existence, in the one full part of the United States that does not have statehood, and moreover the one devoted wholly to government of the United States, of streets (mostly avenues) named after all fifty states of the Union, is no coincidence, and a list of those streets is of encyclopedic value. It is of perhaps as much encyclopedic value as the list of streets of Atlentic City that appear in the US monopoly board, or lists of streets in London that appear in the British version. That is to say: not much, but the net value is positive and the article is unlikely to pose any great maintenance problems. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 02:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Agree with Tony Sidaway. The article has encyclopedic value, is completely verifable, and is more expandable than a category is. The content is certainly more encyclopedic than other lists we've deemed notable enough for inclusion. —Cleared as filed. 03:06, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Provides more than a category can, as it includes redlinks, and can include redirects (like if Ohio Drive were to redirect to the park it's contained in). Provides more than a redirect to U.S. state can, as it links to the roads. Provides more than Category:Streets in Washington, D.C. can, as it pulls out the ones specifically named after states - because, you know, not everyone lives in the U.S. or has the names of the states memorized. (I have split them off into a subcategory, but I don't have high hopes for its survival.) Common sense, dudes. This does more good than the zero harm in keeping it. --SPUI (talk - don't use sorted stub templates!) 03:14, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep useful list --Jaranda wat's sup 03:24, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, I stand by the opinion I expressed the first time around. - SimonP 03:44, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but maybe rename it to List of state-named Roads (or Streets) in Washington, D.C., so as to include Ohio and California, instead of just having them seem oddly out of place. Rory096 03:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Notable and well organised information. Golfcam 04:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, and enhance While it is mildly problematic that there are so many redlinks currently, this only means that this worthwhile list regarding state-named roadways in the U.S. capital (and ancillary topics of DC being a planned city) should be enhanced. For instance, it'd be great if a map was devised to highlight all of these roadways. Furthermore, each entry should be accompanied by approximate locations in DC and/or all of them should be categorised/sectioned according to location (e.g., NE, Foggy Bottom, etc.) As well, I'd actually suggest renaming it to List of state-named roadways in Washington, D.C. (lower case r, since many roadways are named Avenue, Road, Street, et al.). E Pluribus Anthony | talk | 05:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:NOT, etc. Hardly encyclopedic, atomic level detail on streets doesn't even qualify as "almanac style entry". Simple verifiablility isn't the hurdle for inclusion, we're an encyclopedia, not Everything 2. While we're at it, censure Tony Sidaway for bad-faith venue shopping. - brenneman(t)(c) 05:23, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Would someone please add this to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Log/2006 January 30 again, please? Someone keeps removing it but I don't like to edit war. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 05:28, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • This has been a strange debate. I have no strong feelings about the article (other than my original vote of delete as non-notable listcruft) but I note tensions run high in others (both supporting and not). I don't know why this AfD was closed early as there was no consensus for speedy keep.

Possibly a hoax. Not mentioned in the newspaper article listed. —Brim 05:34, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here are a few links to assess significance: [[25]], [[26]], [[27]] and here are some resources from the, um, "C-ass community?" [[28]]. I also found a lot of people discussing and co-ordinating these rides on forums, journals, blogs, etc.Ben Kidwell 07:43, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I don't understand use of "per nom." here. The nomination says "possibly a hoax" but it has been clearly established that this entry is not a hoax. It may not be notable and since it remains a very brief entry on something that is basically a prank (very different from a hoax), I would agree with those who suggest merge and add a redirect to the main entry on critical mass bike rides. "Per nom." deletion doesn't make sense when it was nominated as a possible hoax, which it is not.Ben Kidwell 16:44, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mount Copaja

[edit]

This is a tricky one, so bear with me while I explain. This (orphan) article has remained a ten-word stub for nearly a year (I was the last editor, stubbing it last March). It may be a real place, and as such I am loath to afd it, but... it doesn't even say what country it is in, so technically it could be speediable. Google returns about 650 non-wikipedia hits for "Copaja", but many of them are for the website of Felipe Copaja, or for scientist Sylvia (S.V.) Copaja, or for other people with Copaja as their surname. Of the first 120 google hits, only one was for a Mt. Copaja, and that 404'ed. Unless there is some extension of this article, or at the very least confirmation of the mountain's existence, it doesn't really have a place here.

I wasn't sure if it was indeed a vanity page, as there wasn't even enough content for that. I suppose I could have even marked it as a speedy delete for lack of content, but I decided consensus was better. Rory096 07:47, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bertha Chevallier-Boutell

[edit]

This article seams to be one messy hoax. Not only theres no google hit on Bertha Evelyn Angela Frances Chevallier-Boutell outside wikipedia, but I haven't been able to find any reference at all about a Bertha Chevallier, Berta Chevalier or any combination of them. Not even the Aspall site has any reference to her. Mariano(t/c) 08:04, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anti-Semitism in Black Metal

[edit]

This article is a brieft, biased, mainly POV article. It has already been tagged as not meeting Wikipedia's expectance of articles, and has also been tagged as needing to be cleaned up. The article also repeats information that only exists about a small scene in the Black Metal genre, which is explained in much greater detail on the NSBM article. Its also mentioned in brief, but greater detail on the main Black Metal article. As such, this should be deleted as Biased POV Repetation and a redirect should be left to the NSBM article Leyasu 08:42, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Benjamin Coffer

[edit]
  • Comment Mind explaining why it's a hoax? No google hits outside WP mirrors, admittedly, and no sources cited, but the google count isn't so strange considering what he's notable for is supposed to have happened in 1968 and he died in 1985. No vote for now. Sam Vimes 14:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Benjamin Coffer is an English student at St John's College, Oxford. It is likely he was born in 1985. Students at this college have a history of fictitious Wikipedia posts. For example, Jon Day (see deleted pages). This is a waste of everybody's time.
  • Delete --Terence Ong (恭喜发财) 14:36, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete. Smacks of original research -- all of the sources are from letters (from Rickards and Osborne, and to Creighton), which appear to have been reviewed and assembled into a theory on Coffer's importance. Even if the claims prove true, it's not clear his accomplishments were notable enough to deserve an entry. Basically, even if this guy did all this and deserves recognition for it, we must wait for someone else to determine that and publish it before we can include him in WP.

  • Delete all except LASER (emulator), which should be kept for notability. I fully expected this to be a full delete, but I was surprised at the number of Google hits of the specific phrase "Little Arcade System Emulator". I should also point out that as far as I can tell, the nominator is incorrect and LASER is *not* a product of Cyberdog Castle.

I can't put my finger on a specific policy saying that Wikipedia does not want long comparisons between four characters in contemporary US television and comic strips which continue down into the minutiae of fertility problems, whether they wear glasses, and which of them are noted for tearing their hair out. But I'm sure it falls under WP:WIN somewhere. I just don't know where. Original research? Indiscriminate collection of information? Or merely outstandingly pointless? At least a dozen accounts are listed in the history page, which staggers me a bit, so someone obviously doesn't think it's pointless. But I bring it here for comment anyway.

  • Keep I certainly wouldn't want to see loads of articles like this on all sorts of tenuously-related characters ("Jean-Luc Picard compared to Princess Toadstool", etc.), but the Peter/Homer similarity is widely noticed and remarked upon by even casual viewers of both series. I would prefer that each claim be referenced by at least one episode citation, and perhaps some of the less-important points removed (e.g. the glasses). Still, deletion is not cleanup, and this is good information. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:27, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep as per WP:FICT, this would not fit in the original article. However, I would suggest a re-naming and a clean-up of some of the discursive language (WP:NOR). Possible names - "Similarities between Peter Griffin and other television fathers" or perhaps cut out the rest and just make it "Similarities between Peter Griffin and Homer Simpson". -- Lochaber 18:26, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete WP:NOR.I'm sorry, but "I've heard it in lots of places" or "I've heard it remarked" is not a reference. This article is original research. It may in fact be true that there are relationships. If so this should be published in a secondary source, and then we can write an article here. If this Mad magazine article mentions some similarities, then this may be a reference. I suspect that this whole long artlcle is not from Mad, it is rather this authors own knowledge.Obina 00:36, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the article gives us some fair ground to work on by citing things already, namely the comparisons made in the episodes themselves. CanadianCaesar The Republic Restored 01:15, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This page seems to contain a lot of false or unverifiable information and may be an extended joke or an attempt to prove Wikipedia is a bad source. Dabbler 18:02, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep,“Unverifiable information” should not be grounds for deletion in this instance. Despite the opinion of User: Zoe, the entry does not read as nonsense, chronologically it makes perfect sense, and much of the information couldn’t be verified unless the reader were exceptionally well versed in “electronic noise music,” or British magazine publishing. Admittedly, it does seem a bit fantastic that one individual could do so much, however, you’ve no way of being certain the article is a hoax. User:Wizard of Gore18:53, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If you can prove that this information is correct, we might change our minds, but see WP:V. User:Zoe|(talk) 19:52, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. The picture on the page is highly suspicious -- it looks like a college shaming attempt. Anyway, besides that, the assertion that "'Unverifiable information' should not be grounds for deletion in this instance" is hogwash. Unverifiability is always grounds for deletion. It's the only way to keep original research and hoaxes out of the encyclopedia. On the other hand, this article is linked from a few others that appear to be serious. Further investigation may be warranted. Powers 19:57, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment This page was changed to a redirect back to the original article and also all the references on other pages (see comment above) seem to have been inserted by User:Wizard of Gore. This is looking more like a speedy delete! Dabbler 20:25, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Powers, do you mean to suggest that the information on Wikipedia pertaining to the Giant Squid can be incontrovertibly verified? All I’m getting at is that articles should be based on the best information available. If that information can’t be proven inaccurate you’ve no choice but accept it as fact. Dabbler, why on earth would you watch the Master and Commander article? As I understand it Stefan Beck did play midshipman Calamy. If I’m wrong, please forgive me.

Oh, and hogwash? Come on guys.Wizard of Gore 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Response. Giant Squid contains information gleaned from what sources we have available, and thus is the best information we have so far. This article, on the other hand, lists ZERO sources. That's the difference. If there were no sources for Giant Squid, we'd probably consider that a likely hoax as well. Remember, Wikipedia is not a primary source. You say "articles should be based on the best information available." So far, we have NO information available, except the say-so of whoever wrote the article. Since Wikipedia relies on verifiable sources, that just isn't sufficient. Please read WP:V. Powers 23:32, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's awfully strange that there's a page on Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World in what purports to be an encyclopedia. I see also that Dabbler has contributed an article on "trampolining." I don't know which is more pathetic, the fact that he "watches" an article about a crappy movie, or the fact that he thought a children's pastime worthy of explication in an "encyclopedia."

Big Mamas Funeral

[edit]

Article fails to assert the notability of this literary work. Does not seem to be a remarkable piece in any way. James084 20:15, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This work gives a good example in a comparatively short form of Garcia Marquez's 'magic realism'. As with a lot of his works, a lot of background knowledge is assumed in order to understand it, particularly the history of Colombia. I tend to assume that anyone who approaches any of Marquez's work has the intelligence to know what he or she is doing. It would be an insult to such a person to arbitrarily eliminate this entry.Alloco1 01:50, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Set of articles about martial arts instructors. Created by Soldado (talk · contribs), who removes tags people place such as {{nn-bio}}/{{notability}} and ignores them. Some of the articles make claims of notability but I have a hard time evaluating the claims. I didn't find anything related via Googling for soldado borracha or "jose de amorim".

'Keep itIt seems to me that if somebody really wanted to look at porn, they wouldn't go to anything Wikipedia. It's not harmful and should be kept up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.81.168.72 (talk • contribs)

Keep it. You can't seriously be considering this. I can think of no more gross an example of subjective morality's continued stranglehold on mass media than this insurrection into the collective free-knowledgebase that is Wikipedia. We've got issues on this website, and we don't need to be judging an ACCURATE, popular article when there are several incomplete, poorly written, and largely false articles existing on the site daily. The "neologisms" argument is a wolf in sheep's clothing. It denies the global community the ability to have its say in what information should be readily available to mass audiences, which is what Wikipedia was made for. Last time I checked, we're not Microsoft. This timid argument is ridiculous.


The idea of banning "Neologisms" is faulty policy to begin with, and that's what this debate boils down to. The gap between 'current' neologisms and legitimate terms is only bridged by apparent common usage. Common usage is related to popularity, which is, in most cases, due to nothing more than personal exposure to the word. Wikipedia is special for many reasons, not least of which is its ability to disperse new--yes, even BRAND new--information to a large, international audience. To deny that Wikipedia facilitates society in this exciting learning process is to depreciate our own website, and self-impose a lower standard of value and influence on society than traditional media. We're peeing on our own feet, folks.


This article strikes at the heart of the faulty "Neologism" policy. We can't just say "wait we don't allow these because we say so," if it appears as though there is a legitimate reason for the policy ITSELF to be reviewed, which I believe is the real issue here. If you expel the ability of Wikipedia to help new concepts make it as quickly as possible into the marketplace of ideas, you're destroying what makes this site unique and extremely important.

Comment: Things are not notable because they are on Wikipedia; things are on Wikipedia because they are notable. --Andy Saunders 21:34, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so "Wikipornia" isn't exactly the most important and valiant example of the flaws inherent in the "Neologisms" policy; that DOESN'T mean that the flaws don't exist. If you outlaw the Wiki-community's ability to help new concepts come to the forefront, you're stunting the vast potential of Wikipedia, and railing against the very concept behind the internet itself.


If we decide to delete this, and other similar articles, I wish you good luck in your quest to make Wikipedia as dry, boring, linear, and immediately out of date as a regular encyclopedia. Why don't we just publish a book if we want to exclude the idea of timeliness, completion, community, and open-source R/evolution that began this site?

The phrases "laser," "homophobia," and "genocide" were all neologisms. Source Wikipedia.Indeed this word is soon to become a cultural phenomenon as Collegehumor, and Wikipedia obtain thousands of unique hits every day. Let it also be known, that because there is little information surrounding the phrase "Wikipedia" that is the only reason he can claim the allegations that it is "not terribly encyclopedic." As you all know, users are enabled to add information they deem necessary, therefore addition to this definition will occur over time. This article should NOT be deleted.— Preceding unsigned comment added by onestudlyomelet (talk • contribs)

    • FREE CLUE: The only thing that bridges the gap between "were" and "are" is, as you all keep screaming about, COMMON USAGE. Common usage is related to popularity, which is, in most cases, due to nothing more than personal exposure to the word. Wikipedia promotes common usage and is a place to LEARN, not a place to assimilate. The neologism argument is flawed.

    • Comment I tend to agree this is not a WP:SELF problem (and if it was, I don't think such is basis for deletion, only a rewrite). To quote the policy, "Wikipedia can, of course, write about Wikipedia, but context is important." I think if everyone and their mother used this term (or for instance, newspapers) then there would be no problem. As it is, however, it is a new idea and needs to gain popularity before being included. Existing on google is quite different from being widely used (as might be demonstrated via google). That is how I read it at least. Thus I claim it is a relatively unused neologism and should not be included as such. --Hansnesse 01:20, 31 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment There seems to be some confusion as to the nomination. I see no one thus far arguing for removal because of morality. Note that removal for the protection of minors is against policy (See this policy), however deletion because the word is a neologism is consistant (in my view at least) with its neologism policy.

  • Delete I vote for deletion. Wikipedia is not a slang guide. Anyways, this isn't popular slang at all. "Thousands upon thousands" being familiar with the term is maybe a few thousand people out of "millions upon millions" that speak English. And anyway, like the article says, this term was coined and used about 5 times on Collegehumor.com. Wikipedia does not and should not have articles about inside jokes or slang terms used by every single website's userbase on the web. It's simply unrealistic. Articles about internet subculture are valid articles (think 1337) but Wikipornia is not common enough to merit having its own article. Used 5 times on one website? Please. The only reason this is being debated is because CollegeHumor linked to this article requesting users to "Save Wikipornia." TheDapperDan 21:52, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep There is no reason not to keep this article. Everyone here citing Wikipedia's "A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide." Needs to read the next sentence of that policy. The next sentence says "Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., should be used." This article, although is a slang term, is not a guide on how this term is to be used, but rather an explanation of the term itself, which is Wikipedia worthy, because it explains a phenomena, not mearly a straight dictionary word with a meaning and definition. Therefore, I vote Keep. Drlecter491 22:27, 1 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't qualify as a phenomenon. Right now it's just a silly word someone made up. If it becomes a phenomenon, then we can write an article on it. Powers 00:50, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


  • Keep it As a valid current phenomenon, Wikipornia should be kept as an entry to continue with the modernity of Wikipedia. If it is in use in the public domain, there should be no reason to delete it.
  • Keep it Do not become totalitarian. Just because views towards your website are not favorable or may jest you does not mean they are not newsworthy or important for people to be able to find information about. Your website is about providing people as much information about a given subject.
  • Delete as neologism, and one invented less than 2 months ago at that. To be truly objective about this apparently emotional vote: delete this article, and wait 6 months later, and see if the term is in widespread use. If it is, then maybe it merits an entry in Wikipedia, otherwise, no.—Tetracube 01:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I understand it, the whole idea of Wikipedia is to be a sort of dictionary that evolves as our language does, faster than any Websters or Encyclopedia could.

  • Delete. To everybody from collegehumor.com and LUELinks, chill. Wikipedia's rules say that among other things, articles on neologisms are not allowed. Slang is fine when it enters general usage, but new words or phrases that are not a part of common usage are not. For example, we have articles on jazz and skyscrapers, but not Longcat or RICK JAMES, BITCH! because these memes are not in common usage. I fail to see how this word is encyclopaedic. - CorbinSimpson 06:38, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Bullshit. That Neologism "rule" is a Nazi loophole designed to keep out sexually explicit language and depictions of "immoral" actions, such as Teabagging. If we delete this article, good luck in your quest to make Wikipedia as dry, boring, linear, and immediately out of date as a regular encyclopedia. Why don't you just publish a damn book if you want to exclude the idea of R/evolution and community that began this site.
Ahem: Teabagging. We don't want to exclude "R/evolution and community." The objective is not to create an encyclopedia that is boring, linear, and out of date. We just have a high threshhold for new material. When a word becomes well-established (with, in my opinion, Teabagging being right about at the threshhold), we include it. We can't include every little thing someone makes up -- it's not feasible, and other sites (such as Urban Dictionary) cover that niche sufficiently. When "Wikipornia" becomes as widely known as "Teabagging," we'll add it. Powers 13:30, 2 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete neologism. Belongs somewhere else, as mentioned, such as UrbanDictionary.com. Not on Wikipedia. onishenko
  • Keep Wikipedia is a continously evolving format. It offers more than standard encyclopedias because it offers certain, less scholarly points of view than say Britannica would. You get a more complete sense of a subject through Wikipedia, rather than be restricted by select facts that are approved by a select community. I believe that by censoring popular trends in culture because "they are more fitted for urbandictionary.com" you are only depriving Wikipedia of one of its inherent advantages over standard encyclopedias. Wikipedia has the opportunity to be a factual, first-stop resource, but also has the opportunity to supplement the facts with popular opinions, trends, and other less tangible, shifting elements of culture. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.36.60.116 (talk • contribs)
  • Thank You As the creator of this much controversial article, I would like to thank those who have supported the upkeep of not only the word "wikipornia" remaining in wikipedia, but the integrity of wikipedia itself.

  • Comment Oddly Enough, that link goes to a page explaining that the phrase either has to be 'verifiable' or not to plainly obvious. No one can say that "wikipornia" is unknown or that its existence can't be verified. --Onestudlyomelet 21:44, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If you are refering to the WP:BALLS link, that one goes to a policy page. Wikipornia is not, to the best of my knowedge, policy (nor is WP:BALLS, for that matter, an article in the encyclopedia). --Hansnesse 21:50, 3 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I really don't understand why people don't want to keep this entry. People are citing two policies which have no baring on this entry at all. The "Wikipedia is not 'A usage guide, or slang and idiom guide.'" states specifically that the artical should not deal with the usage of the slang, not that the article should not be about a slang term itself. "Wikipedia is not in the business of saying how words, idioms, etc., should be used." The article makes no mention of the idea that slang terms themselves cannot have an article.

The citing of WP:BALLS is simply rediculous, because the article itself states that it is NOT Wikipedia policy. The policy which states that Wikipedia can not be used to publish original research cities that coining a neologism in an article is a way of establishing that the article is original, and therefore unsuitable for Wikipedia. AGAIN, the policy does not specifically ban neologisms, and because this article is not a reasearch paper, or an attempt to publish any kind of theory, data, etc, as stated on the Policy page about no original research. Therefore, it doesn't fall into that catagory, and the fact that it may be a "new" word doesn't mean it's excluded because it does not pertain to new reasearch. There is a "content guide" which seeks to have users aviod neologisms, "unless they have realistic evidence of existence via verifiable usage data or, at the least, search engine hits." As the wikipornia article itself states, there are google hits pertaining to the word.

Many people also are saying that it's too new and/or not widely used enough to warrent a Wikipedia article. My question to them is, at what point does it become old enough, or widely used enough to be deemed Wikipedia worthy. If anything this article should be kept because it pertains to something that exists on Wikipedia. It is not a straigh dictionary definition, nor is something not noted or unworthy. The fact that so many people have visited this page and put in their two cents (rightly or not) shows that this article is well known and widely used. I urge the administrators to keep this because it is an example of what is best about Wikipedia: the ability to evolve and be crafted from the ideas of its users. Drlecter491 00:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WP:NEO Specifically states
In many cases, neologisms get deleted. Protologisms are almost always deleted. It could be via speedy deletion or the Articles for deletion process.
But this is not a court of law, and although citing policy is a good idea, we should always be sure to ignore all rules (see also this policy). There are dozens if not hundreds of neologisms up for deletion at the present moment. We have the neologism policy (and similar policies) because we are building an encyclopedia, not a dictionary, not a phrase book, certainly not a free for all content host. This is undeniably a neologism. It is a routine deletion, one of more than two hundred nominated per day (and this is nothing new). It is wonderful that so many people have taken an interest in Wikipedia, and I hope they stay. But we can not turn Wikipedia into a host for every person with access to the web to post their ideas. If "wikipornia" becomes commonly used (think thousands of google hits), then it should be included. But until then, we leave it (and the thousands of words like it) out. --Hansnesse 01:11, 4 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
