Leigh Laurie

No evidence of RS coverage of her one role as an alternate. Nothing to prove she passes WP:BIO for entertainers. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 23:37, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - apparently first professional role, and not surprisngly, there does not appear to be much in the way of coverage about her. Google news shows a single result. -- Whpq (talk) 22:53, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
delete per WP:BLP1E. Can't see why every 10-year-old girl in a musical would deserve a Wikipedia entry. Article creator seems to have contributed only to this article, and an article on the musical itself. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:04, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pa'l Mundo: All Access Live

Apparently unreleased album (crystal ballism) with little or no media coverage, the only reference is a pre-order page on CD Universe. Fails WP:MUSIC#Albums. Prod removed without comment. —Hello, Control ^{Hello, Tony} 13:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Second Reflection Eternal Album

Keep I worry that at year's end, if the album actually does come out, someone will have to start the article from scratch. I'm okay to just leave it as a {{future album}} which disclaims any serious expectation of reliability anyway. Shalom (Hello • Peace) 03:52, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as per nom. Esradekan Gibb ^"Talk" 23:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Close call. I was initially going to suggest a merge with Reflection Eternal, but the sources were lacking. Thus a delete is more appropriate. When/if it finally ~~escapes~~ gets released, then will be the time to consider the inclusion of an article on the album, but not before as the current article tends to be fuzzy on the details as to label, release date, and so forth.

Saint Hilda's Primary School

This article does not currently meet Wikipedia's notability standards. I say it only deserves to be kept if someone can improve it to show notability. The article also does not meet WP:SCHOOL. GO-PCHS-NJROTC (talk) 22:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Speedily deleted -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 02:05, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Intereffectuality

I believe this is a hoax.

Google Scholar does not know this word - see here.
Google finds only this article.
I can find no trace of the magazine Journal of Critical Aspect cited as a reference.
The other three references are books and do exist. I have consulted one of them {Loiseaux and Fraistat): it contains absolutely no reference to "Intereffectuality".
While getting it from the library I checked the indexes of every other book in the same catalogue section - about four shelf feet - and found no mention of the word.

In summary, I can find no evidence that this word has been used before. If not actually a hoax made up one day, it is a protologism unsupported by evidence. Delete. JohnCD (talk) 22:34, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, hoax. (I had a minor in textual criticism. The terminology of that discipline generally doesn't use small words to define big ones, the way this article does!) --Dhartung | Talk 22:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, I thought the style was quite convincing; in fact, I wondered if it had been written by the Postmodernism Generator, but I don't think that goes as far as inventing new words, it just re-shuffles the old ones. JohnCD (talk) 23:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete as hoax per nom and per Dhartung, seems to have certainly been made up. The fake sources are enough for me to call this one a G3. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete due to crystal ball concerns. Creating a redirect would be fine except that this song is not from the album to which a redirect is suggested. Davewild (talk) 12:34, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Everyone's At It

Not yet a notable song; hasn't been released and won't be for a few more months. Violates WP:CRYSTAL. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 22:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dawnchaser

Non-notable music producer - No reliable coverage - I'm seeing myspace and various fleeting references that are otherwise tenuous. Article fails WP:BIO and WP:MUSIC. [1] Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 22:17, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I see forum posts and download links but no articles about this person. If the claims in the article are true and can be documented with reliable soures, then it would be keepable, but I've not found any such sources. -- Whpq (talk) 22:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
strong delete - I deleted his myspace link per policy. I wanted to delete all the peacocking and unsupported hyperbole from this article, but realized that this would leave almost no content. If this article is 90% peacocking, and as Whpq says no sources can be found, this is an almost certain delete. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:12, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sanches Viva

Does not meet WP:PORNBIO criteria; unreferenced; added a PROD template and was removed by someone who just slapped on more porn titles which does not add a reason for notability AgnosticPreachersKid (talk) 22:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Keep all, I see no arguments being made for deletion in this discussion. There is a divison of opinion over whether a merge and redirect is appropriate but this does not need an AFD discussion to be implemented. Davewild (talk) 12:44, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nite Owl

Also nominating Silk Spectre, Captain Metropolis, Comedian (comics), Hooded Justice, and Ozymandias (comics). Most of the articles have no assertion of notability outside of the comics themselves; putting the relevant info into List of Watchmen characters would be the best thing to do with these. Even with the upcoming film, not enough third party commentary (none in the articles, or just original research, and not much dealing with the characters themselves looking for sources.) Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 21:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If you want them merged, then you should start with merge tags. This is "Articles for Deletion" not "Articles for Merging." —Quasirandom (talk) 22:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Since the plot summary for all the characters is already in the main characters list, I don't see the point of a merge. Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs^(talk) 22:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So redirect all. This seems like a waste of time. --Dhartung | Talk 22:43, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Drakkenfyre - Given that this page has much more detail than the list of characters page, and given that if you merged all the character pages it would become one of the longer pages on Wikipedia and therefore less accessable, I think this is a bad idea. As Wikipedia's guidelines for deletion say: "Articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded can often be merged into a larger article or list." This is not a short article and it is likely to be expanded when the upcoming movie is released. I have reviewed the other character pages you've nominated for deletion and linked to here and this seems to hold true for all of them. Drakkenfyre (talk) 11:59, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This debate has been added to the LGBT WikiProject discussion board. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect all to List of Watchmen characters - they all fail WP:FICT. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:08, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep all. There is coverage, ranging from incidental to substantial, of most if not all these characters in seemingly reliable sources... interviews (1, 2) that discuss casting and character in the upcoming film, entries in Toonopedia, and I'd venture plenty more for reliable sources for those willing to search them out.--ragesoss (talk) 22:15, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Silk Spectre, Ozymandias, Nite Owl, Comedian. Each main character is sufficiently signifigant in both story terms and metafictional/symbolic status to warrant a separate page. And the upcoming film coverage will mean expansion for each. We don't want one crowded megapage.--Noclevername (talk) 23:12, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Change the List of Watchmen Characters to a List of Watchmen Supporting Characters. The critical analysis of each major character is detailed and would be a loss to the Internet and Wikipedia if it were lost. --Eideteker (talk) 02:32, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yung JoJo Tha Prince (rapper)

0 non-wiki ghits, no sources in article to show notability. Possible WP:COI issues. Contested prod. Fabrictramp (talk) 21:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am also nominating the following related pages because they ~~are albums by this artist, and~~ also get 0 non-wiki, non-myspace hits, with no sources in articles to show notability:

--Fabrictramp (talk) 21:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails WP:V. Given the alleged chart position of the first album, it could be a WP:HOAX. Charting albums usually show up somewhere. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 21:36, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Was previously speedied at Young JoJo Tha Prince. I think this could very well indeed be a hoax, but will refrain from tagging it for now. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 21:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comparison of web hosting services

Invites WP:OR and likely to become a link farm for NN hosts. Appears Web hosting service can sufficiently cover this area in an encyclopedic verifyable manner. Hu12 (talk) 21:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep it please. It's only been here a day or so. Please give it a chance to become a good article. See Comparison of Internet Relay Chat clients for a similar established article. Also note that saying it invites original research doesn't mean it has original research. If there are a lot of problematic links added, we can remove them. --Vergency (talk) 21:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Internet-related deletion discussions. -- Wisdom89 _{(_T / ^C)} 23:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. We usually draw the line by allowing certain lists of products, but not lists of services. Web hosting services are definitely out, though: there are far too many to list even a small subset, and they change constantly. Both of these factors, as well as spam concerns, make it impossible for us to maintain this list. There are plenty of other web sites which maintain catalogs of web hosts. Zetawoof_(ζ) 23:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:OR seems to be the main complaint, yet it doesn't appear in the article. As for changing constantly, I suggest that infant services not be listed. E.g. the four currently listed are each well established. --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:41, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I see no complaints regarding the Oversight privilege here. Perhaps you mean something else? Zetawoof_(ζ) 00:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I think it was OR :) --Vergency (talk) 00:47, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - In any case, the other page referenced was a list of invalid reasons for speedy deletion. AFD would be perfectly appropriate for deleting a page full of original research. This isn't really the complaint being voiced here, though. Zetawoof_(ζ) 00:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - Yes, and I'm trying to correct that... --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:59, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. per my nom. Clearly fails Wikipedia:NOT#INTERNET. "Wikipedia articles should not exist only to describe the nature, appearance or services a website offers..". Web hosting service can sufficiently cover this area in an "encyclopedic verifyable manner". Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, so many things that do not belong in an encyclopedia (such as Comparison of web hosting services) are excluded or removed. An encyclopedia should, by definition, be informative and useful to its readers, this is neither.--Hu12 (talk) 01:24, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It is very useful, as it tells readers the difference between major services in an easy to read table. --Vergency (talk) 01:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - I agree... The directories that I have found don't directly compare the services. --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I was talking about the talk page. --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:07, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Per Delicious carbuncle. There are other sites that do that, so put a link on Web hosting service. Plus, there's very little chance of this being complete.

Adam Harden

I'm having trouble verifying that this young actor even exists, much less is notable- googling his name and the film which made him famous yields a surprising 0 hits. I hate to be an old cynic, but could this possibly be a not entirely true article? -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC) FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 21:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I was actually about to file an Afd for this article as it seems like a hoax and none of the information is verifiable. Anyway I don't think the article asserts actual notability as a few small uncredited roles wouldn't merit a wikipedia article to begin with even if the inforamtion was verifiable.

Delete per nom & AOS. I suspect a hoax also or a self vanity piece, in any case no notability. The only link provided is to Facebook, which is hardly a reliable source. No entry in IMDB and nothing found via Google. — Becksguy (talk) 07:29, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete as the article is patent nonsense and an obvious hoax. Opening sentence claims subject starred in a film, whose link leads to an article about a singer.

comment - if this is a living person and a minor, are we (Wikipedia) even allowed to have an article on him with zero reliable sources? I just deleted some personally identifying info from the article - his school, and his parents' first names - as I'm sure we're not supposed to have that sort of thing in an article about a minor unless maybe it's been published in a reliable third-party source.

John A. McPake

There is no assertion of notability whatever in the article, and none available through the Internet. The article was created by the same person(s) who created Gleda and the Sparkling-Cloth, a vanity-press book which I have also nominated for deletion, along with Frank Wilson (children's author), which was also created by the same person(s). You may want to see the related deletion discussions. Neither McPake, Wilson, or the book in question are notable in any verifiable way. Qworty (talk) 04:31, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

weak keep and comment - Actually, I do see assertions of notability in the article - that he has exhibited locally and internationally, and "has been elected President of Manchester Academy of Fine Arts". I've found a few links - [3] and [4] and[5] - that mention him. I feel I'm unqualified to comment on how notable he is as an artist, and I can appreciate the nominator's suspicion that this article could have been just part of a walled garden of non-notability - but this artist seems to pass an initial smell-test, for me, anyway. The article is poor quality, but could maybe be improved to Wikipedia standards. There are indeed some web-references, at least. Shouldn't punish a possibly notable artist just because he illustrated a wikispammer's book. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:27, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm not sure that logic is sound. Is it necessarily true that a notable book has a notable author? (Here's an example of a notable book whose authors do not have articles: King & King. Lack of article is not necessarily indicative of lack of notability, but it's anecdotal, at least.) Powers ^T 23:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Self-publications tend to reflect the notability of the author/publisher.

Santiam Junction, Oregon

It's a road and railway junction. The community may well prove me wrong but I cannot see how a simple road and rail junction is notable for inclusion. It'd need to be pretty significant. The article says it is the site of the National Register of Historic Places-listed Oregon Pacific Railroad Linear Historic District, which be taht as it may is referring to a large area of track and land, not to a particular railway and road junction. Canterbury Tail talk 21:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I'm inclined to keep this as a notable landmark, but I can't find evidence it was ever an inhabited community; and the "airport" is basically an emergency landing strip often used for mountain rescues. The significant use of the site, aside from as a regional landmark for driving/hiking directions, is as a highway maintenance facility. As such it may be best merged with the airport, which is marginally notable. --Dhartung | Talk 22:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and check-out all the other non-notable stuff {{Honorverse}}. This article along with many others in this, space, are all written in an entirly in-universe style and amount to little more than plot summary. Note the <noinclude> text from the above linked template;
It outlines articles about the fictional universe, from the point of view of someone inside the story. Meaning it makes no reference to the world outside of the books. However, the linked articles may or may not distinguish between those points of view.

Ecomaterials

AfDs for this article:

This article was originally deleted via AfD back in March of 2006. When the article was re-created it was tagged with a speedy-repost, but I think it should be re-assessed for the following reasons:

A lot has changed in terms of environmental awareness in the past two years. ~~I don't know how many google hits the term "Ecomaterials" got in 2006~~, but in 2008 it gets about 8,000 (also Ecomaterial and "Eco material").
The original article was more of an advert for a company that made Ecomaterials (as a trademarked name, I guess), and although the text is essentially the same in the new article, it does not mention the company.

For the record, my position here is Neutral. ... discospinster _talk 20:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

~~Neutral-~~Delete There are copy-paste copyright issues, as most, if not all, of the article is copied from [12]. Also, the lead in says:
Ecomaterials is a word that defines construction materials that are ecologically and economically viable.
, but a Google search turns up a variety of definitions for the term, not limited to construction. Overall, I think that ecomaterial is more of a jargon term than a specific topic for an encyclopedia. Maybe it can be documented on Wiktionary. Also, to keep the Google hits thing in perspective, other environment-related concepts, such as ecotourism, get over two million Google hits [13] Phillip (talk) 20:55, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Media representation of Hugo Chávez

AfDs for this article:

First of all, this page is irredeemably POV. It entirely fails to note that Chávez has garnered plenty of positive press in the West: [18], [19], [20], [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], for instance. It strings together a bunch of loosely-connected incidents and makes it seem, in violation of WP:SYN, that there's some sort of media conspiracy against Chávez, when the picture is hardly as clear. It also distorts reality. For instance the last two paragraphs (totally unreferenced) present Chávez' December referendum as no big deal and liken the change to the status quo in the UK or Germany, when in fact, quite a legitimate case can be made that this was a power grab (but in any event, it's not our job to make either argument). We have here a content fork and an essay rather than serious scholarship. Second, the page fails WP:N - of course a major figure like Chávez will be portrayed by the media in one way or another, but that doesn't normally require an article on him. If we can live without Media representations of George W. Bush or Media representations of Benito Mussolini, then surely we can do without this as well. Finally, much of the content is duplicate and exists elsewhere - we already have articles on the coup attempt, on Aló Presidente, on RCTV, etc. Biruitorul (talk) 20:14, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. I see no problem with this article. The subject is notable, verifiable, and inherently involves reliable media sources. If your 8 sources would help to reduce a perceived POV problem in the article, why are you presenting them here rather than adding them to the article? Cel ^{Talk to me} 20:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Because it still would have WP:SYN problems - what we need is multiple third-party sources showing that the subject has been of interest to researchers, not an assortment of Wikipedians stringing together articles to make it seem like this is something notable. We need outside confirmation of notability. Biruitorul (talk) 20:56, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

You mention WP:SYN, but this doesn't really advance a position or contain a thesis. What position do you see this putting forth? Also, articles of this type should be noted, which allude to the material contained within the article. I don't see a notability issue, as articles like the aforementioned abound; I am, however, concerned with the SYN symptoms that the parent is mentioning. Cel ^{Talk to me} 21:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The position seems rather clear: that Western media is portraying Chávez as an emerging dictator bent on curtailing freedoms and assuming ever-greater powers, when "in fact" (ie, the POV advanced by the SYN) he's a democratically-elected president like any other who's got a bad rap and an array of media outlets (and governments) ganging up against him. Biruitorul (talk) 00:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, even if the article seems POV-pushing to some, that issue has a solution other than deletion. A simple improvement drive on the article can solve that problem. This issue is notable and verifiable, as can be established with sources. Cel ^{Talk to me} 01:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It might be better to retitle this Media coverage of Hugo Chávez; the "representation" is a bit outside what most sources will tell us. See Category:Media coverage and representation. I'm not entirely convinced that this article needs to exist, but I think it is possible for one to exist. Right now it's not much more than a list of incidents. --Dhartung | Talk 23:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it has real world significance and verifiability. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 00:55, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as WP:OR, WP:N, and WP:SYN. The sources given are not about his media coverage - they are simply examples of his coverage in the media. There is no claim to the notability of the subject of the article, namely, the media representation of an individual. The individual himself is without a doubt notable, but his "media representation" (the subject of the article) is not. His media coverage, in other words, isn't the "story" - his actions are. By claiming Chavez's media representation warrants an article on its own, I believe, is an example of WP:SYN, particularly as the article seems to be another article describing his actions. BWH76 (talk) 11:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge and redirect to Hugo Chávez#Chávez and the media (which is essentially keep). The article is too short and redundant to justfy it being a spin-out of the main article. It also could use some NPOV balance. Ursasapien (talk) 11:40, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
delete - Dhartung makes a very good point, but BWH76 puts forward a very good response to it. If there were third-party reliable sources who were discussing the quality of Hugo Chavez's representation in the media, I think this would be a good article to have. Unfortunately, if this is nothing more than a summary, then yes, WP:SYN and Wikipedia shouldn't have it. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:40, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is my first submission and edit, but as a writer, would like to begin doing more here. All of what I submitted was based on actual and factual information which can be referenced on this page. Being aware of the boy band, NLT, and having this young lady's name included on V Sevani's page, I thought it would be a very good idea to be able to connect with someone that was named there to gather further information. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dobs7 (talk • contribs) 20:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The references are about the same single film. One film does not notability make. IrishGuy ^talk 20:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand that, but doesn't it make sense that when a name is mentioned in Wikipedia that there usually is interest in finding out who that person is? That's how I even submitted this, because of that reason. This allows people to follow a thread from one person to another giving them greater information which is why this site is here. Just a thought. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dobs7 (talk • contribs) 20:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Notability to come. --Dhartung | Talk 21:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After becoming more aware of Wikipedia guidelines, I continue to feel that this is of great interest considering that this person is mentioned on an independent topic from this. I read the following: The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1]. Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular" - although not irrelevant - is secondary. With notable, secondarily being 'famous' or 'popular' I feel it deserves to be listed. Again, considering that Lissa Lauria was mentioned on V Sevani's listing, it surely is significant and interesting. BTW, I'm enjoying learning more. I will soon become a greater part of this and hopefully contribute to a greater degree. Thanks.DobsDobs7 (talk) 22:49, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete - if she's significant enough that someone could potentially write a book about her - not just a promo piece from her publicist or her film studio, mind you - then she's worth having a separate article about her on Wikipedia. I don't see that right now. Peripheral people don't get their own articles. Also, btw, I edited the article - every article here is supposed to be written in an encyclopedic style, and assertions of fact are supposed to be supportable. Statements like "Lauria knew that the stage was calling her" aren't really supportable, unless maybe they were reported in an independent third-party source that meets Wikipedia's reliability standards, in which case they should be reported as "in an interview in Variety magazine, Lauria said that she knew that the stage was calling her". AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:47, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What is unforunate as a new user of Wikipedia, is that I guess I've learned that when something is added to be an extension of another topic, namely V Sevani where Lauria is mentioned, that you can just remove the statement about her and an upcoming film with Uma Thurman. Is that how these things are solved? Do you just delete what proves someone should be included because it proves to be an article of interest? Furthermore, you are getting obviously very personal which I did not think was supposed to happen when 'discussing' this. I am not a publicist or anyone like that. I'm someone that is on the fringes of the industry and knows of NLT and wanted to include the person that was spoken of in that article. If the 'flowery language' of the 'stage was calling her' is offensive to Wikipedia, then I'll change it if you didn't edit it already. But a true statement on V Sevani's page should not have been removed because it helped the reason to delete this. I added it again. It was there to begin with and no one is disputing V Sevani's page.Dobs7 (talk) 14:58, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as it is a referenced article that asserts notability and that is only a few days old. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- References #5 and 9 are the same reference. As are #8 and 6. Another is a film website, one is an official website, and the last is a variety listing of film credits. None of these are valid reference denoting notability. There is not one reference where Lauria is the subject of published secondary source material which is reliable, intellectually independent, and independent of the subject. Nor is there any evidence that Lauria meets the following: Has had significant roles or been featured multiple times in notable films, television, stage performances, and other productions. Has a large fan base or a significant "cult" following. Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment. IrishGuy ^talk 18:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - Considering the youth of the article, we should give those interested in editing it more time than but a few days to find additional sources and establish these points. We're not in any kind of a hurry. Plus, some sources are better than none. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 18:07, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment - I can appreciate the concern over the speed of AfD from creation of article. I didn't check that when I posted my !vote above.

AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 15:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If she seems to be at the start of a career, it's probably worth keeping the article around for now as it is likely it can and would only be expanded and improved over time. If she suddenly just disappears, then, I could see deleting it, but right now it strikes me as premature. Sincerely, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 16:32, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I understand your position. Though, at the same time: we could say the same about every vanity article on Wikipedia. Thus the elder gods gave us WP:N and WP:RS so that we could come to our decisions. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's no real problem with Wikipedia having many articles. Early editions of even the most revered encyclopedias had articles entirely based on primary sources and that were wildly inaccurate, but they made do with what they could because it concerned an element of human knowledge. If nothing else, I think Dobs7 makes a valid point below. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:30, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Re: what IrishGuy said, if you investigate Lauria further, you will see many notable accomplishments for such a young age, not only in the field of acting but as a singer/songwriter as well. She is the lead singer (as well as soloist) in an L.A. band called L Squared (obviously from the LL in her name) and if you go to their myspace, their fan base is huge with many street teams, fansites, etc. I agree that deletion is pre-mature, especially with greater notoriety coming from a film in pre-production. Also, according to further online information, she just booked another film made for Lifetime TV called "Jake's Wing". I feel that her page on Wikipedia will be added to and probably very quickly over the next few months. Dobs7 (talk) 17:24, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Myspace means less than nothing here. Fan sites mean less than myspace here. We want real sources. You're unfortunately making it seem like her Wikipedia article was created in a street-teaming exercise. The request was simple: provide reliable sources to demonstrate her notability. If you want to learn more, read WP:N and WP:RS for clarification. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 17:29, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, I'm not part of a street team. That's actually funny if you knew my age. I added that because of Irishguy saying about 'cult following' and fans. That's the only reason. There has been many realiable sources provided to demonstrate that, and as every day goes by, there seems to be more and more, which will probably continue on a steady basis.Dobs7 (talk) 18:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

One more additional comment - why does someone keep removing the name "Lissa Lauria" off of V Sevani's page? The film that he is in with Lauria and Uma Thurman has been on there for quite some time and is a fact which is spoken of all over the internet. I did not add that originally. But now that the name Lissa Lauria is being discussed if it's notable enough and the possibility of deletion, someone keeps removing her name. I'm beginning to wonder why that is happening and if this hasn't gotten very personal, although I've been told that it should never be so.Dobs7 (talk) 22:17, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- It is an unsourced statement that doesn't belong in that article. It was originally added by XoBrianaox who only edited four articles and hasn't edited since February. IrishGuy ^talk 23:22, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Unsourced? It's all over the internet and is in pre-production. It's also on the production company's site as well as V Sevani's NLT websites. That's how I ended up here. It seems to me that it keeps getting removed because that's the one reason to keep Lissa Lauria's page. My question is, why wasn't it removed from V Sevani's page before? It's been there for quite a while. Why only now? I will put it back with sources as soon as I have time. It's a statement that was put there by someone who obviously felt it was an important part of the young man's career and being his first feature film, it is. Is there a 'higher' authority that a person can appeal to re: the omission from V Sevani's page? If there is, I will find them.Dobs7 (talk) 02:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Kevin: I'd like to see some stronger evidence of notability. Dean of a school is a good sign, but not enough to be automatically notable, I think.

It's very seldom that one individual writes an entire textbook in this field, especially when the textbook is aimed being an extremely authoritative text. Merely being selected as one of the contributors should be enough to make him notable. Cel ^{Talk to me} 01:45, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I spent a little time on Google and see stong evidence that he is well noticed in academic cirlces and is published all over the web.

strong delete. Utterly fails eveything. Blatant promospam. WP:VSCA.

If this sort of article can't be speedied, there must be a problem with the process. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad (talk) 14:52, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There's sort of an ambiguity about whether one should speedy spammish articles on notable bands (I believe we should but not all admins do so in practice). And there was some sort of weak claim of notability so probably the speedy deletion on those grounds would have also been declined. Pichpich (talk) 00:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't find any claim to notability, in the article. There was maybe some hyperbole and peacocking, but that's not the same. To me, a notability claim in the article would look something like "X is notable because..." - except, you know, written better than that. And this article definitely is a CSD:G11, I think. Though, it's true, I've tried to G11 spam articles many times, was rebuffed by editors, and had to take it to AfD. Thankfully, those sorts of AfDs result in a delete 90% of the time; I just think it's a tremendous waste of all these good editors' time to have to bring such articles here. Oh well.

Keep; the best sources will be ten-year-old Japanese gaming magazines, but I have no doubt they exist. The general rule seems to be that actual mainstream console games are notable.--Prosfilaes (talk) 21:58, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The game does have a page on neoseeker, gamefaqs and gamespot. However those pages have little info regarding the game itself. Besides the picture found in the article seems to be from a gameboy color game.--Lenticel ^(talk) 22:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. What actions have been taken to verify that the article is not just in need of improvement, but irredeemable? --Kiz o r 20:50, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I've found a few profile pages for the game [26], [27], [28] which do confirm things such as developer and release date, and suggest notability, but they don't provide that much information to build a verifiable article from. I've been able to find one review, though I don't know how reliable the website is. The existing information can probably be edited and sourced to the game manual (if somebody has it). The profile pages and the fact it is a mainstream console game suggest notability. I'm going to say keep. Also, as mentioned above, I don't doubt there's Nintendo magazines out there with reviews that could be used to make a reception section. Bill ^{(talk|contribs)} 02:07, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, It has an entry on Allgame (Godzilla: Kajuu Dai Kessen), and GameSpot (Godzilla: Kaijuu Daikessen). It was released December 9, 1994 in Japan for the Super Famicom. The serial number is SHVC-AG2J-JPN. It was published by Toho (or perhaps they just own the copyright to Godzilla), and developed by Alfa System (according to GameSpot). It's a 2D fighting game. The playable monsters are Godzilla, Mechagodzilla, Mechagodzilla 2, Super Mechagodzilla, Anguirus, Biollante, Gigan, Guoten, King Ghidorah, Megalon, and Mothra. I believe there were two Godzilla games made for the SNES/Super Famicom. The other was a 1993 Super Famicom/SNES game called Super Godzilla, also distributed by Toho and it was released in English and Japanese.

I don't speak Japanese, but using the symbols found on enwiki and the interlanguage links on the Japanese Wikipedia, this category on jawiki is the category for SNES games. I searched for Godzilla and found this page about a 1993 videogame with Godzilla, King Ghidorah, Mecha-Godzilla, and Biollante, which is in the category Godzilla films and Super NES games. I think that's the Super Famicom version of Super Godzilla though (based on the year and since the title is <something> Godzilla). The list of SNES games lists the release date of that game as December 22, 1993. And yes, from the Google translation I see that's Super Godzilla.

The Japanese Wikipedia page for Alfa System mentions Godzilla and Toho and Street Fighter II, possibly indicating a fighting game, although I believe it's mentioning a PC Engine game since I can't find the sub-title of this game, 怪獣大決戦.

The list of SNES games lists a Godzilla game under 1994 with the release date December 9 with a price of 9,980 yen, which is this game I believe. That link currently redirects to Godzilla though. The Google translation of the Japanese Godzilla article mentions it, under "Armageddon monster Godzilla." I'm sure there were reviews of the game in Japan when it came out. The Japanese title of the game is ゴジラ怪獣大決戦 according to the Japanese Wikipedia. There are 2,100 Google hits for that (14,700 hits if you put a space after Godzilla). --Pixelface (talk) 05:41, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, like Prosfilaes said, I'm sure coverage of this game exists in Japanese magazines from 1994. Help from WP:CVG/M and Japanese-speaking Wikipedians may be needed, but sources can be found and translated before our deadline. --Pixelface (talk) 20:00, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Sure, there were a lot of killings there during The Troubles, but the issue is whether this label is anything other than a neologism. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, numerous sources easily found. Guardian Irish Echo The Post etc. There is a book, Dublin Bombings and the Murder Triangle. The term has other uses including a mystery novel and similar application in other cities, but none seem collectively as notable. --Dhartung | Talk 19:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Merge an explanation of the term into the Troubles (e.g., "The area comprising East Tyrone, South Londonderry and North Armagh saw such levels of violence that it became known as the 'murder triangle'.") Dhartung's sources show that the term is not a neologism, but expanding this into a full article would be duplicating information that belongs elsewhere.

Keep - Absolutely, meets our music notability criteria. If an artist meets our music notability criteria (he does), the individual is notable enough for an article. Badagnani (talk) 19:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It further appears, from examining the past several thousand edits of the editor proposing deletion, that 90%+ of his/her deletion proposals are for individuals or items related to ISKCON (the Hare Krishna movement). While editors are not prohibited from editing or attempting to delete articles in a single subject area, I believe this shows some sort of agenda or WP:POINT. Bringing one of the top American classical accordionists into such a battleground is really not proper. I recommend the editor branch out into attempting to delete articles on a wide variety of subjects, not just those related to ISKCON-related subjects. Badagnani (talk) 03:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Please state how individual meets the criteria of Wikipedia:Notability (music). Otherwise, there is no reason to see this article as anything but an advertisement. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 19:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Actually, you'll need to state how he doesn't. I've actually read the criteria and see that he meets them. The burden of proof is on you. Badagnani (talk) 19:49, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - It's not a good idea to comment (let alone start a deletion discussion) if you don't know what you're talking about. Bridge Records, Inc. is one of the top classical record labels. Badagnani (talk) 20:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Still, not a major label, and only one album on an independent label. More notability is required. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 20:07, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I can't continue to discuss with you if you don't carefully read the article and compare it to the notability guidelines. I suppose I need to set them out for you. They say 2 CDs. There are 6. Badagnani (talk) 20:11, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I do not disagree with the number of albums. But only one album is on an independent label. AND, Its still an article a person wrote about themselves. Its an advertisment. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 20:16, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I cannot continue to discuss with you if you don't carefully do your research. Several are on independent labels. It is strange that I have had to actually do this research and point out our own guidelines for you each step of the way rather than you (as nominator) doing that. By the way, the word "it's" contains an apostrophe. Badagnani (talk) 20:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

(Weakish) Keep, but trim to relevant, independently sourced information. This may be a vanity article, but the following links suggest to me that he has received sufficient coverage as an accordionist for an article here: [29], [30], [31]. The chess instructor/eBay seller type stuff can go a.s.a.p., however.--Michig (talk) 21:19, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And since the record label that has released at least one of his albums has also had one of their albums receive a Grammy[32], I feel the record label is sufficiently notable to count for WP:BAND criterion #5.--Michig (talk) 21:25, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - The individual is highly regarded in the rarefied field of classical accordion in North America, and publishes what is probably the most comprehensive website for accordions and other free-reed instruments. Thus, he is particularly notable as far as players of this instrument in the classical field goes. Badagnani (talk) 21:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep—Passes WP:N, meaning it passes WP:MUSIC criterion #1. I just added a reference to an article about him in the Post-Tribune and there are plenty more. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 21:21, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The three sources above do not meet Wikipedia:Reliable sources nor do they establish WP:N. One album on an independent label (not a major label), does not make for an article. Also, sources must be reliable, not websites with little or no reputation. This article is still an advertisement. Thanks. Ism schism (talk) 21:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No, in fact several of the albums are on independent labels (however much you may hope or wish that they are not). This was pointed out just above, so it seems that you are not only not carefully reading the article or notability guidelines, but in fact this very discussion. Badagnani (talk) 22:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep He has one foot in academia with another in music and is a writer. I don't think that he can be specifically excluded by any of the subject specific criteria since no single guideline has specific purview. However, he does seem to meet the WP:N guideline of being noticed in independent sources. Yes there is no one compelling source, but there are enough sources to convince me. On the other hand I'm not impressed by the article, which should be trimmed substantially. --Kevin Murray (talk) 22:24, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Update—I have added citations to two articles about him in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, and two articles about him in the Post-Tribune, one of which mentions his first-place prize in the American Accordion Musicological Society solo competition. --Paul Erik ^{(talk)(contribs)} 03:49, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - But trim down to relevant information only as per Michig's comment above. I have gone ahead and removed the ebay link and some other comments as a start. Gouranga(UK) (talk) 20:46, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
keep and close - looks like a bad faith AfD. Article says: "He has performed on accordion with cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, violinists Gil Shaham and Itzhak Perlman during concerts": for a guy like me with no clue about classical, to share a stage with those names reeks highly of notability.

Comment - Simply writing one line and hoping he doesn't meet the notability guidelines really isn't satisfactory. The multiple CDs belie your comment. It's important to ascribe good faith to other editors, but in this case your comment stretches this guideline quite to the brink. Badagnani (talk) 21:45, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - a statement with no basis in policy. TerriersFan (talk) 22:50, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - This is just another "assumption" being played in by the attempted establishment of "WikiProject Student Unions", which is not a WikiProject, does not solve any debates on the notability of student unions at all, does not provide any kind of policy in existence that points SUs are notable, and is another one of those "This is notable because I said so" attempts. Sorry, no offense, but by using the same non-guideline excuse in attempt to outweigh the several guidelines and policies on Wikipedia is...

Delete: SUs are not inherently notable, and this article specifically lacks notability because it is local in scope and has only trivial mention in reliable sources. There are a few mentions in local Syracuse newspapers, but I don't think that is enough to satisfy WP:ORG.—Noetic Sage 18:23, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no evidence of notability outside the SU area, therefore failing WP:ORG for local organizations. SU's are not inherently notable and c/ping the same rationale does not make them so. TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 18:39, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

      - Nope you've just done it on at least two pages that are on my watchlist. I'm sick of these pointless debates that end up with about 1/3 delete, 1/3 no consensus and 1/3 keep. Not a productive use of my time which was why I chose to comment here and not on the other ton listed here: Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Deletion#16 March (AfD, CfD, TfD).

        This is not Wikistalking. If you review Wikipedia:WikiProject Universities/Deletion, you'll see every single AfD, including, but not limited to AfDs you may or may not have participated (in voting keep because of the Wikipedia does not have a deadline thingy).

G-Log

No citations or references on notability. Company no longer exists since Nov 2005 - you'd imagine that anything notable would have been merged with Oracle article by now. Bardcom (talk) 17:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete/Redirect – As mentioned by the nominator – all relevant information has been incorporated into the Oracle piece. Shoessss | Chat 18:41, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep if the original company was notable before Oracle acquired it, it remains notable. Notability is permanent. The total information from this article that was actually incorporated into the Oracle Corporation article is: G-Log September 2005 Transportation Management Solutions N/A That wasn't a "merge," it was a "delete almost everything and merge." DGG (talk) 02:44, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. OK, I have restructured the page which was a mess. As DGG says the content wasn't merged. I also agree that a merged company retains its notability. My problem is that I am not particularly convinced that the company was notable. However, in marginal cases we should default to keep. BlueValour (talk) 00:15, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Still no references to notability though. Google throws out the usual amount of press releases, but I can't find anything notable. Have you had any luck? Anybody? Bardcom (talk) 01:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The "local" applies to local branches of an organisation, which are almost always non-notable. This particular article is about a statewide agency, transcending any particular college, and is a suitable place to put paragraphs about the parts in the indiviual colleges, instead of trying to write articles about each of them.

Keep: I agree that there are no reliable sources found in the article itself, but it appears that there are a number of quality sources out there which have yet to be utilized.

Keep Sorry I couldn't contribute to this discussion earlier, was on vacation in real life. First off, this should never have been a deletion discussion and this page should not exist. This is a merger discussion, and should have been kept to the talk page. This should be a speedy keep on that basis. Second, I fiercely oppose a merger to Georgetown University, which I spent over a year making a featured article, and would hate to see trashed by an section that clearly deserves its own article. From WP:DEL#REASON, I note that "all attempts" have not failed, and I did find and cite portions of the article with my own, and also User:Noeticsage's secondaries. Additionally, university papers have been found to be acceptable external sources by director Raul654, as I dealt with the issue in Georgetown's FAC. Despite the current campaign of one user against such articles, other student unions have been found notable, so non-notability is not an innate attribute of such organizations. And a former US president was involved in this organization.--Patrick Ѻ 00:28, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notability established in hundreds of non-trivial mentions in Student Life: [42]. Note that Student Life is completely independent of both the Union and the school, so it's a secondary source that easily meets WP:RS. Oren0 (talk) 00:52, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment on Sources There are a total of six wustl.edu links, which in this case, does not help establish notability because it's just the university website of the SU. Three of them comes from studlife.com, the university's student newspaper, also not a WP:RS. The collegeprofiles.com reference is a trivial source. KMOV is a local TV station, hence a local source. The Columbia Tribune and insidehighered.com would have passed as good sources, but the article was more about the Student Union President, not the organization itself, hence fails as well.

Comment: The original request to merge was contested because of violations of DELETING, MAJOR CHANGES, Wikipedia:CONSENSUS, and PRESERVING INFORMATION, which made this entire episode unnecessarily contentious. For the record, I do not agree with the implicit objective that the article should be removed without an opportunity to be reviewed/improved.--Lmbstl (talk) 00:57, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Merge. I know that some editors oppose a merger, but I think it is the fairest solution. To me, this AfD isn't about obliterating Washington University Student Union from Wikipedia. It's about presenting in the context of Washington University. This is quite simply a question of presentation, and I say we present the information in the parent article. Lovelac 7 03:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep "presenting the Washington University Student Union... in the context of Washington University.: that;'s exactly right. The major parts of the University are appropriate for separate treatment. Just as the college of Arts and Sciences there should have a separate article, dealing with the academic side of things, so should this. DGG (talk) 22:25, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, why are some of these more debated than others? I have to get to work, but these student governments have to pass Wikipedia's notability requirements like any other organization. Delete them all unless they have citations showing real, non-local notability. Lord Uniscorn (talk) 11:58, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So your argument is to delete because you think most of the other AfD's will end in deletes? Judge each on its own merits. This one has numerous sources as linked above and it, like most of today's noms for these groups, is getting significant keep support. Oren0 (talk) 18:10, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, my argument is "Delete them all unless they have citations showing real, non-local notability", like I just typed. Lord Uniscorn (talk) 23:24, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No, if the university is important enough the branches are important. Notability is about importance. And a major state university is of non-local importance. DGG (talk) 01:43, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry, but these AfD discussions are supposed to center around Wikipedia policies and guidelines, not User:DGG policies and guidelines. Lord Uniscorn (talk) 16:57, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Actually notability must be present in each subarticle as well. Or else you'd end up with articles like Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Undergraduate Business Program at Cornell University. Cornell's definitely a notable university, but their undergraduate business program sure as hell is not. When considering student organizations in each this SU, experienced editors often can't ignore guidelines set by WP:UNIGUIDE, WP:ORG, and other pertinent Wikipedia policies. Although most of these SU articles are written by current students, past alumni, and the occasional Joe from a rival university, these articles are often not notable with trivial or no reliable sources to back their article up. We really should not label every SU article across the board for AfD, but this should not stop editors from judging each and every single SU article separately using existing policies and guidelines. - Jameson L.

Comment Brief assessment against the proposed guideline WP:N/CA at the time of writing (here [46]): The British press stories do not confer notability on the case, because they are basically using it to rehash the focus on Madeleine McCann. I cannot read the Spanish stories, but the ones in English all seem (at first glance) to come from a single provider. The proposed guideline would therefor suggest that the article be kept and moved to a new article titled something like Disappearance or Murder of... provided that the spanish references met the sourcing requirements of WP:N/CA.

Keep The page Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter can not be WP:OR because this idea is so old as atomism. From here it is not an original research of one author, but it is more belief a lot of people and scientists in many countries. The theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter can not be simply the synthesis of different ideas because it is the theory in opposition to atomism. The theory is common and have the right to be in Wikipedia. Moreover the theory is very important for the next development of science.

About the argument "non-neutral point of view" (WP:NPOV). Please show where it take place in the text precisely? And what do you mean under “articles require better sourcing”? On the page is 22 references !!

The page is translation to English from Russian Wikipedia where the page was already carefully examined for such criteria as WP:OR and so on. I call you to help for good translation of the article, and for search of more reliable references if you are sure that it is necessary. If you think that the name “Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter” does not occur in either of their Wikipedia articles may be you find the better name? Fedosin (talk) 06:31, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia has specific and longstanding practices to deal with fringe physics theories. Right now, the article suggests that 10 or so people, over the last 100 years or so, have independently thought, "Whoa, isn't an atom sort of like a mini-solar-system, and a solar system sort of like a mini-galaxy?" This doesn't particularly differentiate your theory from the hundreds of few-adherent physics theories we delete all the time. The article does not even begin to suggest that there's a coherent school of thought behind the "fractal" idea; it's just a list of people who have, at one time or another, said, "Whoa! Fractals!" Oldershaw, for example, has published dozens of unrefereed papers and gotten exactly one obscure citation. The Plyashkevich works appears to be in Russian books, not in journal articles; I can find no US libraries carrying these books, and no one citing these books in further discussion: again, not notable. The Fedosin books are completely absent from Western libraries and are cited nowhere. The Baryshev and Teerikorpi book is about galaxy clusters only, not "infinite hierarchy". This is what we mean by "not notable". A few people have come up with this fractal idea, but nobody has paid them any attention. Two ideas: (1) You are welcome to keep working on your idea and attempting to publish it in refereed journals; Wikipedia has nothing to do with this. After some of these articles are published and receive notable mainstream citations, then perhaps your theory can be summarized here. (2) Fractal-ish cosmogeny (as a religious/philosophical idea about the structure of the Universe) might be the topic of a notable article, ideally backed up by scholarly articles tying together the similar beliefs of the Raelians, Bryusov, etc. Bm gub (talk) 15:39, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear (User talk:Bm gub). Thank you for your opinion. I think you agree that Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter is not only the theory of nowadays. It is a whole world outlook with ancient history, like atomism. Only in last century it become understand that the theory must be approved mathematically as it necessary for modern science standards. As a whole world outlook the theory is in focus of our view can not be dependent of quantity of published articles in scientific journals. Of course it must be on the Wikipedia. Atomism is a part of the Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter, at the same way, as circular motion of things is a part of development in philosophy. If you think that it necessary to add some reference or publish some new articles on the theme – but it was already done. Some publications and references in scientific journals simply was not called because of absence of place on the page. For example, shot list here:

As for Gandalf61, User:TenPoundHammer, User talk:EdJohnston opinion about deletion of the page. The page Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter was generated in February of 2008. No one commentary or discussion was on the Talk page from this members of Wiki. But suddenly in March of 2008 they tell about deletion of the page. What is this? It is very like to attack of some people. Of cource for somebody it is much more convinient to destroy then to build. So I appeal to Wikipedia editors to take into considerations possibilitiy of this attack, which has no real foundation. Fedosin (talk) 07:19, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Once again, you have identified a bunch of articles which no one has ever cited. Fedosin, Oldershaw, and Michelini are writing this stuff and uploading it to the ArXiv, but nobody is reading or using it. Zero citations across the board. Jaakola et. al. had an alternative cosmology (steady-state, tired light, etc.), but not the cosmology this article is about. Apeiron is well-known as an unrefereed "crackpot journal" and not generally a reliable source.

Before you complain about destruction/censorship, please read WP:NOT. Wikipedia is not a science journal for the publication of new cosmology theories, or the advertisement/promotion of little-known theories. Whether or not a theory is "new" or "little known" is a judgement call, guided by principles like WP:NN and WP:RS and WP:FRINGE, and that call will be made by the editors' consensus, as with any encyclopedia. You are welcome to present evidence and arguments that your theory is notable, reasonably weighted, and based on reliable sources, but please do not pretend that there is some free-speech right for all articles to exist. Bm gub (talk) 14:28, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dear (User talk:Bm gub). First of all, you must prove all your arguments. Give us evidence that main thesis and conclusions of theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter was not used in scientific research and was not published in scientific journals? Can you say exactly how many publications must be on the theme and after it you say all right? Can you prove that the theory has no ever cited ? Please give us some references where the theory is found to be false or have mistakes and so on?

About your opinion that Fedosin, Oldershaw, and Michelini and so on are writing this stuff and uploading it to the ArXiv, but nobody is reading or using it. Your opinion is quite wrong. Nobody in science can not have new results in the theory without knowing of foundations of theory which must be used. I must repeat again that the theory of Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter is not simply a cosmology. The theory is world outlook and so give us a lot of new results in many different fields.

In addition to 23 references on the page Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter, and to 9 references on publications, which are above, please check of the Publications List at www.amherst.edu/~rloldershaw shows over 50 articles in refereed journals. Is it too little for you? Fedosin (talk) 05:10, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SPIRES shows one citation for 11 Oldershaw papers. The one citation is to an technical experimental note, in French, itself with no further citations. Clicking through "citations" links on a ADS search for "robert oldershaw" shows 70 total citations to 26 of Oldershaw's 46 papers. These are (1) dozens and dozens from *other* Oldershaw papers, (2) two from the unrefereed crackpot journal "Foundations of Physics", and (3) several citations to Oldershaw's non-fractal cosmology articles like [47] and [48], and (4) two from Alfven, the other lone anti-Big-Bang guy. Fedosin on Spires shows one article only, and no citations to it. "Fedosin" on ADS shows zero. This is the standard way of gauging interest in a physics theory, and what I have seen (barely a few citations to 20 years of articles) is basically "zero interest".

Here some comments from: Talk:Infinite Hierarchical Nesting of Matter.

The page is useful, don^t delete!--MiraLeon (talk) 12:41, 20 March 2008 (UTC)

I am new to Wikipedia so I do not know if I am doing this correctly, but I would like to speak in support of Fedosin article on Infinite Hierarchical Nesting. I have worked in the area of discrete fractal paradigms and hierarchical cosmological modeling for over 30 years. This basic paradigm has a long history, which can be traced back to Democritus and Lao Tse in about the 5th century BC. Many scientists and artists and philosophers who have studied nature have "rediscovered" the discrete hierarchical paradigm over the centuries. Spinoza's metaphysics is based on the paradigm. It is very much worth considering and taking seriously.

Fedosin's article has grammatical problems and includes some sketchy versions of this paradigm, but it is a reasonable start. It is reductionism, rather than "atomism", that Fedosin really wants to question. The strength of Wikipedia is that articles become better and more useful as many people add their expertise to the articles.

Why not keep this article on Infinite Hierarchical Nesting for 6 months to a year and see if develops in a positive way.

Some of the arguments for deletion are arguments "from authority", and basically say 'this is not the way I think, so it must be wrong'. Healthy science with a capacity for progress requires that we allow fringe" ideas. Most of the best scientific ideas have come from the "fringes": like a patent inspector 3rd class in 1905, self-taught Faraday, Mendel, Wegner and his continental drift, Spinoza, Copernicus,etc. We should learn from history so that we do not repeat our mistakes.

Comment Reasons for participating: In his long diatribe above Fedosin questioned my motives for taking part in this AfD. I gave my opinion above because I saw this AfD in Category:AfD debates (Science and technology), which I scan regularly.

Scott Etches

Delete as per WP:BIO. He stood in an election and received only 1.66% vote which eventually made him last person in that election. This article - Randy Kamp - can light on those issue. Thus, nominating for deletion. -- Niaz ^{(Talk •}^Contribs) 16:09, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

_________________________________________________________

Response to deletion submission.

By the same token then it should be noted that Ralph Nader's page should be deleted as well as he did not get as many votes as an independent as Scott Etches. Furthermore unlike Ralph Nader Scott Etches did go on to win a seat in a public election to public office. So to suggest that public officials should not be included in the wiki simply because at one tiime they ran in an election and did not get elected is a silly assertion. Also it should be noted that of the over 400 independents who ran in te 2004 election Mr. Etches ranked 11th in that field for percerntages of the vote. Running as an independent in a party system dominated state is activism rather than an intent to actually get elected. Issues not on the radar of the parties have an opportunity to be expressed during the debates.

Is Wikipedia not an ever-evolving encyclopedia? I myself intend to continue developing this article and others I consider myself knowledgeable in. As additional sources come to light I see no harm in allowing the article to be here in a state of constant development. -- Financial-Foodie (talk) 06:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Being that I am the originating author of this article, my opinion may be somewhat biased, but I will try to remain objective. Thank you for your comments Eastmain! While this organization may have only a regional membership, it has historical basis as one of the first and arguably largest organizations of it's kind. I did not include these in the article itself since I have no unbiased source to quote those facts but I believe them to be true. If someone has documentable evidence of those I would be greatly appreciative of that information. Furthermore, the GSBA's Scholarship program was definitely the first of it's kind (also excluded from the article for lack of a citable source) in the region, perhaps in the entire United States or greater global stage. To further Eastmain's comments about the GSBA's involvement in advocacy, the organization was also a founding member of larger organizations such as the WBA and later the NGLCC, as noted in the article. -- Financial-Foodie (talk) 06:21, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment - the issue is if the article meets the criteria of notability per WP:ORG.

reply to comment - I'm definatly a wikinewbie Barek, but I'm glad you pointed out WP:ORG to me and mentioned notibility. It's an important issue. Since you've convinced me to remove the "Prominent Members" section, I'm hoping I can convince you to change your vote regarding AfD. After reading through WP:ORG, I have added a few other secondary sources and I plan to search and look for more verifiable evidence of this organization's notibility. In the meantime, I am still of the opinion that this article's content has historical and informational value. -- Financial-Foodie (talk) 21:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. Here's another reliable source (but a small publisher) with substantial coverage[52]. There's also minor coverage in a number of articles from major publishers[53]. There's something inherently interesting (i.e. worth reading, notable) about a local gay chamber of commerce as opposed to, say, a hamburger restaurant with the same amount of encyclopedic news coverage. That's because gay empowerment and social values are a very important long-term issue, and understanding them (unlike hamburgers) is important to an encyclopedic knowledge of modern American culture. So my tendency would be to lean on the side of inclusion of articles of this type if they are close to the threshold.Wikidemo (talk) 19:05, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Sarah Whiting is one of the most notable young academics and practitioners in architecture. Her acumen is highly regarded by architects, critics and academics. The fact that the New York Times solicits a contribution from her (source listed on references) on one of the highest profile architecture competitions in the World (Les Halles of Paris) indicates that they highly value her opinion. Just because Google/Google Scholar doesn't return substantial number of results doesn't mean that the person isn't notable.

Keep Gunwitch has been a notable figure in the seduction community ever since he came into it, as others noted. Look up the http://www.fastseduction.com/youarenew/ site - fastseduction.com being one of the central sites of the seduction community, a direct off-shoot of alt.seduction.fast newsgroup where the movement began. Gunwitch has his own personal mention there, along with a few other notable figures. His method has directly influenced other methods, such as RazorJack Method, Crablouse Method, and the memes he championed are pervasive in many more. Gunwitch has mentored many seductionists who went on to create their own methods and products, such as Tyler D of Real Social Dynamics. Search Gunwitch on google, and see how many seduction websites reference his materials, many of them as "MUST READ". Any mention of "sexual state" or "daytime pick-ups" in the seduction community will instantly make associations with Gunwitch Method in people's minds. Also, there's many results featuring Gunwitch the seduction teacher as there are referring to the fictional comic book character of the same name!

      - Comment Deletion discussions are not a vote, but a discussion to establish concensus if an article deserves inclusion in Wikipedia. Mentions on web sites and unpublished claims of influence do not establish notability or meet the need for reliable sources for a biography of a living person. Dissolva (talk) 06:36, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        So in the age of the Internet, websites don't count? I'm reading those guidelines, and they don't mention that mentions on websites don't count, unless it is self-published. As I said, do a google search and find out all these websites that talk about him, talk about his methods, etc - published by other people who are involved in the seduction community. Before going any further, I suggest that anyone involved in this discussion research the materials a bit, search on fastseduction.com and the other seduction websites, google etc, and evaluate all the available sources and decide for themselves how notable the subject is, rather than just see that the references are only a few published materials and lots of websites and blogs and automatically discount it.

Banishment in the Bible

Contested Prod. Article is ~~half~~ possibly copyright violation and half original research. IronGargoyle (talk) 13:32, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep – I was really on the fence with this one. First, I do not believe you could delete under copyright for the fact the Bible is not copyrighted. If so, the Gideon's would be in a heap of trouble. As for original Research, you maybe able to make a small case. But than again, is quoting the Bible original research and the author provides the source of the information? Finally I looked at Lists to see if it could fall under that category. My personal feelings is that, as quoted from Guideline's; “…The list may be a valuable information source.” In that this could be considered valuable information, in that it does provide a list of information that an individual may search for, it does meet with Wikipedia requirements.

Comment – No, I realize that and recognize your concerns. I was more trying to address the points that IronGargoyle made. To be honest, this one can either way.

Just FYI, I don't find it trivial and/or un-agreeable, I just think it's an incomplete list of quotes that could go on forever without any use for anybody.

Delete for now. I believe that this topic (as well as Rien's suggestions of Marriage and Animals) could well deserve an encyclopedic article which discussed the reasons for banishment, contrasted actual with threats, etc. (assuming appropriate secondary sources could be found, of course). But is just a list and doesn't feel to me that it belongs. I am not concerned that the current content is OR any more than List of fictional penguins or many other lists--additional editors can add or remove entries. There are no novel conclusions or syntheses in the article as it currently stands. Ma^t_chups 15:59, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment While it's a valid topic, and I'm reluctant to say delete, I can't vote keep either. It's unreadable. Some of the problem could be solved by fixing the form of the citations (refer to "Genesis Chapter 3" section for a proposed revision). Still,

I think that it would require a massive rewrite to bring it up to the standards of an encylopedia. Ultimately, it's more of an insult to have someone rewrite your article beyond all recognition. Mandsford (talk) 16:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article is just a list of quotations from the Bible which each have something to do with banishment, along with a sentence putting each in context. It's not written in an encyclopedic style, and the article makes no attempt to establish banishment as a Biblical concept in itself. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 17:04, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I have added an opening statement to the article to establish the context of the piece. Hope this helps. Shoessss | Chat 18:12, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - for this to be a valid encyclopedic topic, you must first show (and I'm sure this isn't impossible) that scholarly research has been conducted on the subject and has produced material on it. Yes, God banished people in the Old Testament. However, it's not enough to simply pull verses out of the Bible showing that and collect them together here - we call that OR. Biruitorul (talk) 20:20, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I take it you did not view the article, in that the first cite is from a Scholarly work? In addition, I believe you will find more than enough academic papers, regarding this specific topic, as shown here – [54]. I do not mean to sound conferential, but have to ask – what defines an encyclopedic article? I always viewed that concept as someone looking for reference. Hence go to the encyclopedia and hopefully that is Wikipedia Thanks. Shoessss | Chat 22:02, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I certainly did view the article! The first cite is from Hobbes' Leviathan and the cited passage says absolutely nothing about the Bible. And no, the Google Scholar link does not show articles devoted to the subject. It may show papers that happen to have both words in them, but please show me a paper that actually treats the subject at hand. An encyclopedia is a tertiary source, which relies on primary and secondary sources. Occasionally, primary sources are enough, but here we need the intermediate filter of secondary sources that show others have thought of this connection before the Wikipedia article's authors did. Right now, one could very easily go to an online Bible search and derive the same "benefits" offered by this article. Biruitorul (talk) 23:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I am sorry that out of 10,900 hits on Google Scholar with the specific search criteria of Banishment Bible you found no sources that fulfilled you requirements. Therefore, I tried a secondary filter of Banishment & Exile and found several sources that reference that specific topic. Now I am not sure how you view Georgetown Immigration Law Journal, Journal of American History and several other sources as shown here [55], but personally I see them as independent – verifiable – reliable and 3rd source references. Just pointing out the sources :-) . Shoessss | Chat 01:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately, that still proves nothing. The GILJ article is about Britain, and mentions in passing the Bible authorised capital punishment. The JAH article is about the Irish. In fact just two of the sources are Biblical in theme. Certainly, both discuss the fact that Adam, Eve and Cain were banished, and the significance that had for them and us. However: a) those individuals' banishment is extensively discussed in the articles on them, and b) just one quotation is on Adam (and Eve implicitly) - aside from the fact that it doesn't even mention Cain, all the other quotations are from later in the Bible, and we're still left without scholarly backup for that. Better just let people thumb their Bibles rather than string together these random quotes for them. Biruitorul (talk) 03:04, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

With regret, Delete unless the article is rapidly improved, but do not salt. This is a valid topic, which could be the subject of an interesting article, but this is not an encyclopaedia article in its present. It is merely a list of Biblical quotations, probably derived from a concordance. There is no reason why an article on this subject should not exist, but the sources quoted should be articles in Bible Dictionaries or other encyclopaedias, no doubt periodically with suitable biblical citations (for which there are templates). However, this article cannot survive in its present form. Peterkingiron (talk) 11:31, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep and add material. Just add something describing the topic, not just quoting the verses and adding a little material from websites. Should be easy enough to do.I dont think it OR, since the material added probably came from the cited websites & needs more exact referencing. But there are much more authoritative sources than those. DGG (talk) 18:36, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Well, obviously you put a big amount of work into that and I commend your effort, and I don't want to sound dismissive. However, to my understanding at least, it seems like mostly narrative, retelling various episodes in the Bible. Moreover, you're just duplicating text from other parts of Wikipedia for a large amount of the article. For instance, under Exodus 30, the part about Aaron comes from Aaron. Under Leviticus, you just dumped text from Leviticus. First, it's silly and unproductive to duplicate text like that: once is enough. Second, and more important: what has any of this got to do with banishment? It's just padding that says a lot about random parts of the Pentateuch but nothing on the purported subject, banishment. So, good effort, but I still say delete. Biruitorul (talk) 18:50, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep. Personally I'm so not interested but this is a subject of Bible scholars and can certainly be handled to wikipedia standards even if the current version is wanting. Per AfD if an article can be improved through regular editing then it is not a good candidate for AfD. This article can and should be improved. Deleting useful content doesn't help the project. Benji boi 16:33, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Let me also clarify that seemingly every aspect of the Bible has some scholarly research and this is hardly an exception. here's a few for those looking. Benji boi 16:38, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with some nice cleanup/wikify/etc. tags, very much per User:Benjiboi. Some of this is OR, fine: leave the article and let's replace the OR with well-sourced statements. More important is that the article topic itself is not OR, and the first few references for the article establish that this is indeed a researched topic. Deleting is not the answer if we think this to be a "potentially useful" article that just "isn't there yet": there is currently a framework of useful summary information and biblical quotations that would be tedious to reproduce, which gives potential editors something to work with in trying to improve this article. Otherwise, starting with a blank slate, this topic would be much more difficult to get off the ground. Call this a work in progress, leave it be, and re-list in another six months if it's still nothing but a list. --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 16:48, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as original research synthesis. If you can find secondary sources that assert that this topic is one that has received critical analysis, then by all means start an article on the subject. However, "banishment" is just one of the many things that happens in the Bible and I cannot find any secondary sources which assert banishment is any more worthy an article than, say, Snakes in the Bible or Skullduggery in the Bible. ScienceApologist (talk) 15:19, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – I’m sorry – I do not think we are talking about what is more worthy or less worthy of inclusion. But rather, if this topic should be included in Wikipedia. As some may have noticed, I have been working to improve the piece. Is it anywhere near completion, sorry to say no. However, concerning secondary sources, I can answer that question in the positive. Here is a link [56], showing search criteria under Google Scholar on Banishment in the Old Testament. Reading through the links provided, there are several worthy papers concerning this topic specifically. That is my opinion. Others may differ. To the closing administrator: If the consensus is to delete, please archive a subpage on my talk page. This is not a way to get around removing the article, but more so that I could work on the piece and resubmit with a more structured theme at a later time, without losing the work already expended. Thanks. Shoessss | Chat 00:49, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did some digging in the library for you. The Religious Ideas of the Old Testament by H.W. Robinson has an entire chapter on banishment. Encountering Ancient Voices: A Guide to Reading the Old Testament by C.L Carvallo also has quite a bit dedicated to the topic. For those of you who can't or won't go to a library, here is an excerpt from a paper. this is another paper that discusses banishment as a solution for the unclean via Leviticus. There's several of these out there, you just have to look for them rather than immediately discount them as non-notable because they don't show up on your google scholar and google news searches immediately. It's really an endemic... Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 07:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Banishment is an obvious theme in story of the Garden of Eden, as well as in the explanation for souls making it to hell - I'm sure there must be sources that deal with the theme of exile in at least these contexts, enough to satisfy ourselves that this topic is indeed touched upon by secondary sources. As a comment to ScienceApologist: though Snakes in the Bible might simply be a list of Bible verses, I see no reason why Skullduggery in the Bible could not exist (although perhaps under a different name, since I suspect you chose that one for comedic effect). Both trickery and banishment are common themes in the Bible which serve recurring and important roles throughout otherwise often disjoint stories. The study of such prevalent and common themes is no doubt of some interest to theologians and students of literature, so assuming we can get some sources, I see no impediment to having articles on either subject! --PeruvianLlama^(spit) 02:45, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

David spett

This article deals solely with one news event, and Spett's involvement in it. According to "What Wikipedia is Not":

"Even when an event is notable, individuals involved in it may not be. Unless news coverage of an individual goes beyond the context of a single event, our coverage of that individual should be limited to the article about that event, in proportion to their importance to the overall topic."

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT#NEWS

This is the sole topic on which Spett has attained widespread notoriety, and as such, under the criteria listed above, and according to Wikipedia policy, the article ought to be deleted.

Spett is currently already mentioned in the context of this controversy on the Medill School of Journalism page, and that listing seems within the scope of what Wikipedia is looking for. Thus, this individual article, at this time, is unnecessary, and ought to be deleted. Plugstickcupbook (talk) 08:48, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete I'm not even sure that NOTNEWS is relevant here, because he doesn't appear to meet WP:BIO. However, strongly disagree with David's comment above that "being a student-newspaper columnist is just not enough, regardless of whether someone else picks up on the same story you did" I could easily construct hypotheticals where that would likely be enough (say a student at a major university found that the president of the university had plagiarized, the president resigned as a result, and the matter got international attention).

Androphobia

This article has been around for ages, but in searching for references for it (as part of general fact-checking) I turned up very little (most of the g-hits seem to be of WP mirrors). See the talk page of the article for a longer comment on sources. Briefly, I searched Pubmed, Pyschinfo and other medical sources and got no references. It turns out this was a term apparently coined in the lesbian/queer community; but it seems to not be widely used in the literature about gender studies either however. It also seems very similar to Misandry, which is a well-used term and has a well-referenced article. In other words, I think this is a very rarely used (and thus probably not so notable) near-neologism that isn't used in the psychiatric literature. Note there is a Wiktionary entry; this could contain the short definition that this article has and have appropriate etymology added. phoebe/(talk) 07:44, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In my defense i would have to say The Starship Trooper is a local hit up here in my hometown in alaska, we have a big film festival every year and many of my submissions are quite popular. At one point everything is made up, im sure Dark Side of the Rainbow didnt get popular for a long time. Hell it isnt even that popular now and it still gets a page. If you go to the Darkside Of The Rainbow page you can see a list of other synchronicities by other bands and movies and they dont have a page either. If you have watched dark side of the rainbow, you have probably seen the definitive list definitive list which lists how many "rainbow connections" occur (there are 105). The starship trooper has 124 rainbow connections recorded thus far, this is only counting the first five songs played. the cd is played two and a half times which is about 23 songs.

This page is far from spam, it is exactly the same as any other alcoholic drink page, the creator does not make or sell the drink, but is a consumer of it and thought that others should know about it.The page does not contain any links to where people can buy the drink, but tells them what they need to create it themselves.It is a drink that can be made by anyone and does not belong to a certain person, group, or place. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twinnies (talk • contribs) 00:30, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I understand you worked hard to create this page but there's no evidence that it's notable and appears to promote one version of a daiquiri with most of the article lifted directly from daiquiri. No evidence that this is a notable drink per WP:N and the existence of other articles is irrelevant TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 01:14, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  - The reason i am against the articles deletion has nothing to do with time put into it, it has to do with the fact i believe that the topic in question deserves a page. The part of the article lifted from 'daiquiri' is to give the reader some knowledge about the origin of the drink without them reading the full page on 'daiquiri', the fact it is taking from this page is told to the reader before the paragraph starts. Having this pages does not cause any harm to wikipedia or its readers, it contains nothing biased, but a neutral view of the drink. Although it is not a offical alcoholic drink, it is a variant on the original daiquiri and is quite popular in certain areas. The page is clearly not advertising the drink,but rather allowing people to become known about it and possibly create it themselves.The page does not link to any where the drink can be purchased for a profit to the author or a link to clubs,bars or any other form of facility where the drink can be purchased from,or to increase their customers numbers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Twinnies (talk • contribs) 01:51, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    - Yes, however Wikipedia has notability guidelines and a google search does not indicate any notability for the product under either name. A product has to be notable to be included, it's not for something made up by one bar TRAVELLINGCARI^{My story}_{Tell me yours} 02:02, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      - The drink was not made up by one bar, it was not made by any bar. It was first introduced to people at a bar, but has since grown and is now made in many private homes and different clubs and bars which sell the original frozen daiquiris. You will not find a site for it on google because it is just a spin on the original frozen daiquiri and became/ becomes popular and known through word of mouth.--Twinnies (talk) 04:19, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

i think that the magic daiquiri is a real drink. a few of the clubs near where i live have served them for ages. i think that the page should stay there. around where i live people just call them MDs for short. that is how popular they are. the MD page should stay —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.228.228.3 (talk) 08:29, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete, no opinion beyond that as to whether it should be merged or kept separate. As a comic series from a major publisher, it's at the very least an element of an undeniably notable subject, DC Comics, so deletion is not an option. The question then remains whether there is enough substantive information specific to that element to justify an independent article, or whether it should merely be merged or even just mentioned elsewhere, such as in a list of DC Comics titles, a list of DC characters, and in the creators' bios.

Rachel Aldana

Simply put the article shows no evidence that the subject is notable. Notability - as layed out in WP:NN - is defined by a topic having "received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject". Of the sources provided in the article, only two look like they might provide significant coverage (not just trivial mentions), one[61] is from a tabloid and the other[62] from what appears to be a blog written based on the "facts" in the tabloid article. Neither tabloids or blogs are reliable sources and they shouldn't be used to source information about living people. The other trivial sources are no better being blogs[63][64], a youtube video of a chatshow[65](Vanessa's Real Lives) and two unreliable sites based on user generated content [66] [67]. These are actually used well in the article - they are not used as sources for any facts about the person only as sources to show that the sources themselves exist - however without any reliable sources to establish the notability of the subject or form a verifiable base for the article to be built on I don't think how they are used is relevent. I have no problem with the subject matter - there are likely hundreds of articles on Wikipedia for people noted only for the size of there chest - in this case it just does not appear that the sourcing exists to allow us to write a verifiable encyclopaedia article.

Delete - The Guinness record doesn't seem to be confirmed due to the conflicting information found in those two People articles.

Weak keep pending confirmation of the Guinness record. If confirmed, then that covers notability (yes I know not every record-holder is notable, but Aldana has additional notability as a model and public figure). Most of the cited links lead to sites that under Wikipedia's outdated rules are of questionable acceptability, so until Wikipedia opens up to allow blogs and fan-made references as legitimate websites better links are needed. If the record is confirmed bogus then under Wiki's current rules related to porn there's probably not enough to sustain notability. 23skidoo (talk) 22:11, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The sources are not reliable. I wondered if this could be redirected to an existing article on breast size as some kind of footnote on a woman with notably large breasts if it could be reliably established that she did have significantly large breasts - however, as Gigantomastia indicates, her breasts are not remarkable, and the growth of over-large breasts is a very serious medical condition rather than something to be smirked over in a tabloid newspaper.

Delete The one real notability claim that Rachel has is her Guinness World Record claim. That on its own could satisfy WP:N if verified, however the only news source I can find is The People. According to WP:RS all mainstream news sources are "welcomed", but it further goes on to state, "When adding contentious biographical material about living persons that relies upon news organizations, only material from high-quality news organizations should be used." As this is a WP:BLP article and this claim of "largest breasts" is disputed, The People fails WP:RS since it's a tabloid paper with a dubious reputation. Tossing out the big boob record claim we don't have enough in this article to satisfy WP:N. -- Atama ^chat 16:00, 21 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Einstein's razor

AfDs for this article:

Articles for deletion/Einstein's razor

Article appears to be only original research. All quotes and sources provided require an healthy application of WP:SYNTH to conclude that "Einstein's razor" is a new notion any different from Occam's razor. FeloniousMonk (talk) 02:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retain Superficial analysis. This is hardly original research. None of the editor's works are cited. The first citation is to a Professor Mohan Delampady with 17 years of publications in Probability and Statistics including the book cited here. Note Delampady's using it to distinguish between the "boundary between simplicity and complexity", not just degrees of "simplicity".DLH (talk) 00:56, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Original research/synthesis regarding a non-notable neologism. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Einstein's razor is used in at least three different cited publications as well as by a number of web sites, none of which are by the editor of this article. This "Original research" attribution is groundless.DLH (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

delete This appears to be a neologism, used primarily by proponents of intelligent design. A google search returns 143 hits the first of which is from the more or less defunct PCID of the pro-ID ISCID. The remaining hits are primarily forum posts discussing it. A few of the hits seem to be actual uses but at present this remains very much a minor neologism. The article consists primarily of original research, throwing together a few examples of people who have used the term, some of which are blogs or fora posts which have had their nature disguised by being referred to in a way that sounds like a scientific citation (see for example the source labeled "Tracy Lightcap (2006)" which links to this blog entry).

JoshuaZ (talk) 02:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The major published articles use it to distinguish their argument from Occam's razor. Citing One PCID article out of the three publications is hardly a "Majority" by any stretch of the imagination.DLH (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Only 1 google scholar hit to a non-notable paper which explicitly uses the term as a neologism. [68]. The intelligent design issue could make the article more notable: that is as a variation on Occam's razor used by proponents of ID. As it stands however the article doesn't seem to address anything not addressed by Occam's razor. No need to multiply ~~causes~~ articles.Nick Connolly (talk) 03:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Poor scholarship does not justify argument - wrong Bruce Katz. See: Bruce Katz

Bruce Katz, Ph.D. (University of Illinois) Adjunct Professor. Speech communication and computer science; artificial intelligence. Dr. Katz received his B.A. in Philosophy from Duke University in 1981 and his Ph.D. in Artificial Intelligence in 1990. Between 1990 and 1998 he was a lecturer in Artificial Intelligence at the University of Sussex in the U.K. While at Sussex Dr. Katz taught a variety of courses including Knowledge Representation and Cognitive Science, and headed the Masters Program in Knowledge-Based systems. He also conducted research on the perception of beauty in man and machine and published numerous papers on this topic.

Dr. Katz specializes in Artificial Intelligence, and appears well qualified to speak on the subject.(Especially compared to the detractors here.)DLH (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - No reason given other than the lemming factor. See the cited authors' discussion of the differences / clarifications as to why they use "Einstein's razor" rather than "Occam's razor".DLH (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Occam's razor as per nominator. The term does seem to be used so a redirect may be helpful but it appears to be a mere redubbing of Occam's razor rather than anything new. Simple explanations for Science are a concept that predates Einstein. DoubleBlue (Talk) 16:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - More than "simple", the authors use it to distinguish the tendency to attribute to "Occam's razor" explanations which are TOO simple. Thus the extension to Einstein's razor to emphasize this important difference.DLH (talk) 00:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Retain -- An easy solution to many Wikipedia disputes is as follows: (1) retain the disputed item or a brief description of the disputed item (e.g., “Einstein’s Razor”); (2) briefly describe the dispute (e.g., some people believe that “Einstein’s Razor” is not a common term); and (3) link to Wikipedia discussion pages and external websites where the dispute is discussed or debated (another solution to some Wikipedia disputes is to put an item in a “trivia” section). The Wickedpedian solutions to disputes — long edit wars and arbitrary censorship by Wickedpedian control-freak administrators — are unworkable and unacceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.215.27.125 (talk) 12:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment DLH, please note that after you make your initial "vote" known (Keep, delete, merge), any subsequent comment should be labelled "comment" in order to prevent confusion when the administrator is determining what the consensus was. I've gone ahead and struck through the word "Retain" on all comments after the initial one, although the rest of each comment will remain. I'm assuming that the 63.215 url is also yours, but I'll ask that you simply confirm that and strike through or remove the heading that says "retain". No real harm done, you're new here, but it never hurts to remind everyone that no matter how many comments you make, only one of those is labelled as a "vote". Thank you.

delete as per nomination.--Doug Weller (talk) 18:03, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It seems quite odd that I've never run across that term in any of the physics, astrophysics or physical cosmology texts I've ever read. This leads me to believe that the neologism charge is qute true, as is the assertion that the term is non-notable. Also, if it's "really" a corollary to Occam, it should rightly be called Einstein's corollary. (Think Monroe Doctrine and Roosevelt Corollary). Hence, it's not merely a neologism, but a rather bad one at that. If it deserves any mention at all, it would be as a section in Occam's Razor. Jim62sch^dissera! 19:37, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I wonder if DLH realises that Einstein, was talking about mathematical formulae, about which he and all physicists believe that the most elegant formula (which is really what Einstein is saying) is that which is as simple as possible without losing any of its explanatory force?Jim62sch^dissera! 19:54, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - For reasons given in nomination, but also because DLH (talk) is simply using this entry to flog his POV on Intelligent Design. I.e., it's a case of WP:SOAP. Over on Uncommon Descent, he's casting this as some sort of ongoing persecution by Wikipedia against ID (of course, there's evidence of this POV to be found here, but this is pretty blatant) and attempting to recruit votes from fellow ID proponents. The URL is here:

http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/does-citing-pcid-justify-censorship/

Pertinent quote for those who'd rather not follow the link:

"Does citing PCID and ISCID justify deleting “Einstein’s razor” because it is “pro-ID”?
If you think this is anti-ID discrimination and against academic freedom and free speech, then please provide supporting comments to retain this article at:..."

Most pertinent:

"Please comment on whether you think “Einstein’s razor” is indeed just a “neologism”, or if it provides a useful differentiation from Occam’s razor. e.g.,

1) Is neo-Darwinian evolution with “random mutation” and “natural selection” an example of providing the “simplest” scientific hypothesis per Occam’s razor?

2) Or is that an improper use of Occam’s razor?

3) Or is “RM + NS” “too simple” and in need of a better theory per Einstein’s razor?"

So, basically, DLH (talk) just wants to use this as a platform for discussing the application of "Einstein's Razor" to the current scientific consensus regarding evolution in order to demonstrate its purported failure to satisfy the criterion of the "razor". The issue of whether or not "Einstein's Razor" is a valid term is totally subordinate to that goal.

Didymos (talk) 20:38, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If the term was actually widely used by Intelligent design proponents that would be a reason for keeping the article. As it stands the very best case that could be made for it would be a paragraph in Occam's razor. If DLH (talk) can recast the article in terms of a concept widely used or discussed or just otherwise notable within the ID movement then it would be worth retaining. After all Wikipedia can accomdate articles on concepts that are confused or incoherent so long as they are notable and it can be verified that people actually make use of those concepts. Currently the article doesn't do that and it just a bunch of "huh?"... Nick Connolly (talk) 21:35, 17 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment OK, it looks like that anonymous retain vote from 63.215.27.125 above belongs to one Larry_Fafarman, who has been indefinitely banned for sock-puppetry and sundry other offenses. It's a straight cut-and-paste of his comment here:

http://www.uncommondescent.com/intelligent-design/does-citing-pcid-justify-censorship/#comment-188534

Weak Retain If we're going to disqualify neologisms, better put the Denialism article on the hit list next. (Just look at the dates.) By the article's definition, the term "Einstein's Razor" is a play of words off the term "Occam's Razor," made due to some perceived scientific inadequacy of the latter. If in addition to the cited works, ID theorists are starting to use the term -- on blogs or wherever else -- that argues for the article's inclusion, not exclusion. This is supposed to be an encyclopedia, right? ô¿ô (talk) 00:35, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Re: "All quotes and sources provided require an healthy application of WP:SYNTH to conclude that 'Einstein's razor' is a new notion any different from Occam's razor."

WP:SYNTH disallows original research (not synonymous duplication) via A (sourced) + B (sourced) = C (original conclusion). I'd like to see it demonstrated how the article does so, rather than just asserted. I don't see it. Or how the terms are synonymous either. ô¿ô (talk) 01:05, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

In light of Wikipedia:Notability, and after reading more above and googling for myself, I'm changing my vote to a weak retain. While the term appears to denote a discrete concept, it has caught on only in a limited way. I'm also changing DLH's struck through "Retains" to "Comments." Those strike-throughs are making my eyes hurt. Plus Mandsford missed two of them. ô¿ô (talk) 16:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. The author did not remove speedy. I did that myself. I originally put speedy on because I saw that the article had been previously deleted for copyvio and that the text at the time was full of tell-tale indications of a text cut-and-paste. The author complained that this was unfair and that the text was new and, as the previous deletion was some time back, I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I don't think we should be thinking of vandalism here. I think the author is just very confused.

Keep - Please read the Wikipedia Guideline regarding Notability, which states: "Notability is not temporary. If a subject has met the general notability guideline, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest in the topic, though subjects that do not meet the guideline at one point in time may do so as time passes and more sources come into existence. However, articles should not be written based on speculation that the topic may receive additional coverage in the future." Anyone who has been the subject of front page articles in the New York Times and countless other publications will always be notable. At the very least, she will always be the answer to a trivia question, and most likely she will have a much larger presence than that.

The result was Merge/Redirect to district, per WP:School. What we have here, is failure, to communicate. There seems to be a very widespread comfusion about supplemental notability guidelines. These guidelines (in this case a proposed guideline) do not present additional hurdles that an otherwise notable subject has to pass to be considered keepable. On the contrary, these supplemental notability guidelines provide a shortcut to allow retention of articles which do not currently meet the strict requirements of WP:N, but based on their subject matter, can be shown to follow a known precedent that given time they can be shown to be notable. For schools, it has been shown that almost every high school in the world can be shown to be notable. So to avoid deleting them over and over again while wikipedians finally get to the task of finding the required sources to pass WP:N, we generally keep them, as long as they are more than a mere directory listing, because it has been overwhelmingly shown that sources can almost always be found, given enough effort. Lower level schools, however, are less likely to have such sources. For this reason, middle schools are not considered inherantly notable; this does not mean we imediately press the delete button, but rather means we need to consider them against WP:N, and if they fail that, a small listing at the school district is appropriate. The nomination at this AfD seems to stem from a misapplication of the WP:School criteria, to create a new special hurdle. The discussion here did not center around the requirements of WP:N. MOst if not all of this discussion needs to be thrown out as off topic, as a result. However it is clear that this article fails to assert special notability, and does not in-fact list any relaible sources, so I am closing this AfD as merge/redirect.

The result was no consensus to delete, which defaults to keep all. There are valid arguments from both sides, mainly "info is redundant" for those favoring deletion, and "could be improved, possibly to FL" for those favoring keeping the lists. There isn't a copyvio issue here, as far as I can tell - as Fosnez pointed out, there is no way this is negatively impacting Billboard anyway. If someone really feels strongly about it, it falls under fair use - put a rationale on the talk page. If editors still feel the information is redundant, I would suggest merging the articles together - such does not involve AfD. Hersfold ^(t/a/c) 16:53, 24 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

List of Billboard Hot 100 top 10 singles in 2004

Also nominated:

Series of articles listing every U.S. top ten hit by year. I'm on the fence about these; to me they seem to go against WP:NOT#IINFO and they're redundant, as this info (in a less elaborate format) is already highlighted within the "20xx in music" pages. There are also articles listing number-ones, so these seem a little excessive - do we really need a list of every top-ten hit too? They also look to me like a bigger project that someone started but never bothered to finish - some of these still have empty columns and there isn't any indication that other years will be created (the author hasn't edited anything since May 2007).

Delete I have put a copyvio tag on the article. Billboard's charts are copyrighted to them - they did the research. In order to use the charts people have to pay. In order to view the old charts you need to subscribe. It is OK to write about the Billboard chart, and there is a certain amount of the information we may use, but I'm not sure how much. I would think that this reusing of Billboard's research without their permission is likely to be a violation - but I am not 100% sure. There appear to be more such "articles" here. SilkTork *^YES! 18:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

people refer to it all the time, so I'd like a discussion of how much of the information they present is actually in the present article. I've removed the speedy tag to permit some further discussion here. DGG (talk) 01:11, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I would prefer that an admin with experience of copyright laws looked into the matter and made the decision. The Billboard site has a copyright notice, and the terms of use clearly indicates they don't want people using their service for free: "The Service and its Contents are protected by copyright pursuant to U.S. and international copyright laws. You may not modify, publish, transmit, participate in the transfer or sale of, reproduce (except as provided in this Section 2), create new works from, distribute, perform, display, or in any way exploit, any of the Content or the Service in whole or in part." and "Copying or storing of any Content for other than personal use is expressly prohibited without prior written permission from NIELSEN." This is not something we should be debating amongst ourselves if we don't know the law - we should alert someone who does know the law. I don't know enough to say one way or the other, but with copyright violations it is usually best to err on the side of caution. SilkTork *^YES! 09:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It would also mean that every single discography on Wikipedia was violating copyright, as they can have the chart positions on sometimes numerous different billboard charts. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 04:48, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that IS the case then every instance of copyright violation would need to be removed. Copyright violation is not something that Wikipedia can do, even if people find the information useful, and not even if it has been going on for years and is widespread. Indeed, the more widespread it is, the more urgent it needs looking into. If we don't know the law here on this AfD we should pass it by somebody who does know. It just makes sense. And looking at THIS where Billboard are quite clearly selling the information that is being given away here on Wiki for free prompts me to urge DGG to immediately restore the copyvio tag. SilkTork *^YES! 09:33, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I think it may have more to do with how much of the chart is published and/or how it is presented. There are quite a number of reference books. for example by Joel Whitburn or Fred Bronson, which lay out all of the U.S. number-one songs or that summarize all chart singles and their peak positions, etc. Any of these books can be used as a reliable source to verify chart peaks in Wikipedia articles. The touchy part, I believe, would be if full portions of the weekly data was placed in Wikipedia — like if someone created an article "Current Top 40 Songs on the Hot 100" and then updated it each week and formatted it to look like it does on Billboard's website with all of the columns, etc. - eo (talk) 12:45, 23 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all this is a very useful and notable list and logical format. I doubt there is a copyvio issue here, as we are only providing a summary of the top songs for a whole year, not every detailed weekly list. That information is available in many many places, and is even usually mentioned by DJ's, VJ's, and online MP3 download sites, so it would be quite a stretch for somebody to construe that our publishing this summary data is somehow competing with Nielson's market role for their intellectual property.

There is no indication in the article that they pass WP:BAND and no references. Even a new stub should have those if it's going to be kept. This article's been here for 3 and a half years.--Michig (talk) 21:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Note. I did check for Wikipedia articles in other languages, but there is only an article on the Swedish WP, also completely lacking in references.--Michig (talk) 17:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The players in the band have been in other notable bands. WP:MUSIC lists that as one of the criteria. As per other links that have been given, they seem to have received media coverage, just not in English. If someone who speaks the language could browse some websites and provide us with translations/summaries of their coverage, it'd be great, and it would go towards fulfilling even more criteria for this type of article.

Comment. Can anyone provide a reliable source that demonstrates that a member of this band has been in one of the bands listed above and a reliable source that demonstrates that one of those bands passes WP:BAND? Any significant coverage of this band in reliable sources? --Michig (talk) 08:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: this demonstrates some of the players relation to the Deathchain group and the Darkwoods My Betrothed group, among a number of others. This means they pass WP:BAND. Rather than spending so much time and energy trying to delete the article, why don't you help improve it? Cel ^{Talk to me} 14:18, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Metal Archives is not what I would call a reliable source, as the information on the site is editable. I was unable to find any coverage in reliable sources with which to improve the article, so there's nothing that I can use to improve the article. Apparently, nobody else has been able to find anything either in the three and a half years this article has been here.--Michig (talk) 14:26, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: That information is also available here and here. Also, I respectfully disagree with you (and WP, apparently) that other wikis do not constitute reliable sources simply because of their openness. That's akin to saying OSS doesn't work because it's open. Cel ^{Talk to me} 14:40, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. We're not here to discuss policy, just to apply it.--Michig (talk) 14:52, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Yes, well, in any case, it should be eminently clear now that members of this band have been members of other bands, in addition to receiving non-english media coverage on sites such as this. more than passes this group on WP:MUSIC. Cel ^{Talk to me} 15:30, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Radio Milinda

non-notable pirate station, only 78 Google hits Rapido (talk) 00:01, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - I have added a number of sources to the article and flagged it for Rescue. Given that this radio station was around before the people that made google were born, I would say that it be best not to use Google as a notability guide. Notability, however, is established by my sources and the fact that this pirate radio station was the first Irish pirate station to be shut down by the police. Fosnez (talk) 02:29, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. WP:NOTBIGENOUGH should be considered when you are giving thought to this. As the article has already been tagged for WP:ARS, I think it's fine as is, but continued improvement couldn't hurt. Cel ^{Talk to me} 04:10, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, notable pirate radio station, sufficient third-party sourcing in the article. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Weak keep. A fairly flimsy claim to notability, and some coverage that perhaps falls short of non-trivial coverage in reliable sources, but let's keep it for now and give it a chance to improve.--Michig (talk) 14:47, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as reliable secondary sourcing is now provided so notability is established. Google hits are not always a reliable indicator for non-current people or organizations. - Dravecky (talk) 14:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notability is now asserted quite clearly through multiple sources. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 17:53, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Russian Institute for Advanced Researches

Not notable organization, the info is written by the director himself, all the references are to self-published free internet resources. Copyright problems. I want to have a formal AfD decision as the article is continously restored Alex Bakharev (talk) 05:51, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I reference to our web sites, is it prohibited? Who can say is it notable or not? The reasns are not enough to delete the article. Especially after all copyright problems are resolved.Ryururu (talk) 06:33, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- We have a policy WP:CORP. It said An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources.. Please provide reliable, independent secondary sources showing notability of your institution ASAP if you have ones Alex Bakharev (talk) 07:05, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

the institute exists and works, what is untrue in our information in the article?the main reason why some users are trying to delete the article is that riar scientists made some suggestions in wiki articles that contradict their edition of the science problems, and by deleting us from web society they try to delete their scientific opponents, and this is not a science method but just politics.Ryururu (talk) 07:08, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Super Fun Mystery Episode

Completely useless episode entry for South Park. They only created it as a placeholder, and we don't need it at all. The Matyr ^{(converse with the Matyr)} 06:27, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or redirect. I'm never usually one for deleting, so I think the most sensible solution is to orphan the article until the actual 2nd episode of season 12 comes out. Then redirect this name to that one. It's a much better solution than deleting. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 07:42, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not even broadcast yet, no non-trivial sources attesting to impact etc. If it turns out to be particularly notable or controversial, then the article can be recreated. Lankiveil ^{(speak to me)} 12:31, 16 March 2008 (UTC).[reply]
Delete Not a notable episode yet, especially considering it hasn't aired. Wait until it has an impact on society (which South Park seems to specialize in), then create the page again. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 19:57, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Hasn't aired yet, therefore hasn't established notability. -- Matthew | talk | Contribs 23:28, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Wikipedia is not a crsytal ball and there is not enough reliably sourced, verifiable information to support and article at this point. Guest9999 (talk) 16:46, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why not redirect? - to Britney's New Look instead of delete? Here, I'll do that now and we can close this discussion as REDIRECT WAS THE RESULT. That's a much better solution. Wilhelmina Will (talk) 00:16, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
