Kemi Baruwa

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non notable actor. DimaG (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been included in the list of Actors and filmmakers-related deletion discussions. -- • Gene93k (talk) 00:36, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Non-notable? Perhaps, but I would like to respectfully point out that this actor is a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company, and has appeared in a number of film and television roles besides. I haven't been able to do a proper search yet, but five minutes spent on Google turned up reviews in a number of papers, including the London Times and the New York Times. The reviews I've seen thus far do not seem to discuss Kemi Baruwa at any great length, but I'm not finished digging. In my experience, anyone playing principal roles in the RSC is someone who usually has left a trail of reviews in their wake. Evalpor (talk) 01:44, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - He may have performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company, appeared in some films and television. But there has to be something that stands out. Because then everybody in the company should be in Wikipedia. Then every person (even if minor) in a film have to be in Wikipedia. Everybody you see on TV has to be in Wikipedia. Whenaxis (talk) 11:29, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Like I said, I'm still digging. If I turn nothing up, then I'll vote accordingly. I'm just saying that for me, an RSC affiliation is a signal to look closer at an actor's article that winds up in here. Evalpor (talk) 16:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No significant coverage. For example, she is not indexed in the International Bibliography of Theatre & Dance, nor in Wilson's Biography Index. --Bejnar (talk) 05:59, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - I give up. Actor has not yet stepped into the fore. Evalpor (talk) 03:15, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Belguimtown

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

No proof that this even exists, let alone is notable. Seems awful joke-y to me. Creator's previous contributions appear to be mostly nonconstructive, including a now-deleted article called "Deadly Fart", two attempts to create an article about himself, and this.

Delete Considering the content of the page and the creator's other contributions, this looks like vandalism. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 02:01, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete or Merge - Delete: Because it is a non-notable subdivision, if we kept it then we have to add every subdivision in the world. If its notable and 'real' then it could be in Wikipedia. Merge: Because if its real then we should add it to the town/city it is situated in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Whenaxis (talk • contribs) 11:32, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. Outback the Koala (talk) 07:17, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Googling seems to show that this does exist, and therefore, it is probably notable. Though the article is written poorly in its present state, it can be improved. So can the creator - though he is off to a rough start, he is capable of maturing and becoming a good contributor. Lets AGF. Dew Kane (talk) 05:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Note that this title is not spelled correctly. None of the content is verifiable, aside from it being a subdivision. There is no evidence that I can find that this subdivision is notable. -- Whpq (talk) 16:26, 6 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge useful content to Cape Breton Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia. There is a settlement named Belgiumtown in Cape Breton. See the Standard Geographical Classification (SGC): 1217030 - Cape Breton, geographical codes and localities, 2006 at Statistics Canada. Mindmatrix 21:19, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - What useful content do you propose be merged? That it has the "Monster Truck Rally where people go do drugs and ramp off pieces of metal on their bikes". The article is devoid of any useful information and has zero references. -- Whpq (talk) 21:25, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Nah, I wasn't paying close attention. I think I'd rename the article, delete the text, and redirect to the municipality article or Reserve Mines, Nova Scotia, but I'd retain the category in the renamed redirect. The redirect may need a disambiguator (Belgiumtown, Nova Scotia), as there are other places with this name (at least one in British Columbia, among others). Mindmatrix 21:45, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Why would it even be worthwhile renaming? There is nothing worth keeping. If a correctly named redirect is desired, it's easy to create. -- Whpq (talk) 01:23, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Portuguese profanity

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Bringing this back to AFD two years later, it is a clear violation of WP:DICDEF and WP:INDISCRIMINATE and in the two years has yet to be sourced or improved into a usable article. It simply cannot be constructed in a manner that would be a presentable article. MBisanz ^talk 23:39, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. The "Shorter list..." section is an indiscriminate list, but the lead section includes encyclopedic (if unsourced) information. The long-standing and as yet unanswered calls for cleanup and improvement seem like a case of WP:There is no deadline. Cnilep (talk) 14:29, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The subject is obviouly promising and contains cultural and historical dimensions that could turn this into a good article. While I've never edited this, I have worked on related articles including Latin profanity and Esperanto profanity, so the general type of article interests me, and this is part of a series. (One of these days I'm going to have to get around to Proto-Indo-European profanity.) The fact that two years have passed does not mean that a deadline has run. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:35, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The nominator's got a good point about this being unsourced after all these years. I can understand that it's not published in a book, but isn't there at least a website someone can point to? For all we know, the source is "João, my friend from Brazil". Mandsford (talk) 14:41, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I find the article is quiet discriminate, perhaps it could be more so, but it is far from a useless jumble of information. It is a weak dictionary, but only because it is poorly constructed. As far as I know there is no expiration date for poorly constructed articles.--Tmckeage (talk) 21:39, 8 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thomas Playford V

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:POLITICIAN, as he does not appear to have ever actually won an election. Doesn't pass the GNG either; being the son of Thomas Playford IV doesn't make him notable in itself. TheCatalyst31 ^{Reaction•Creation} 23:14, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. As a mere minor party candidate at a state level, he clearly fails WP:POLITICIAN. There is coverage of the guy but it is all related to the campaigns he has run. Subject to any compelling arguments to the contrary being presented below, I don't think there is good reason here to depart from the community set standard of WP:POLITICIAN. --Mkativerata (talk) 23:27, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable soccer player, fails WP:N; also linked to various IP editors who continually vandalize pages relating to Los Angeles Galaxy and List of current MLS players. It is likely that the subject of the article is the hoaxer/vandal. JonBroxton (talk) 22:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Has published books on Holocaust studies but I can't find GS cites. has received a notable prize. Xxanthippe (talk) 00:45, 2 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Keep' Meets WP:PROF as a expert in his subject: multiple books in WorldCat,[1] many in hundreds of libraries. Many of them translated. Winner of important national level award. 00:46, 2 April 2010 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)
Clarification Requested. The claimed prize evidently does not have its own WP page. When I looked for more details about it, I found this official page, which says the prize is given biennially. The subject's faculty page says he won in the award in 1997, but another official AHA page that ostensibly shows all the prize winners does not list his name. In fact, it seems to say that 1997 was an "off year" in which the prize was not even awarded. Could an expert weigh-in to clarify this matter? Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 15:06, 2 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
- My guess is that this refers to the 1996 prize, "H-Net: Humanities Online, based at Michigan State U.; Richard J. Jensen, executive director, U. of Illinois-Chicago; Mark Lawrence Kornbluh, chair, Executive Committee, Michigan State U." — Michael's vita also lists him as former "editor" of three H-net email lists (out of some 70). Since our H-Net article doesn't even mention him, I don't think this award can be viewed as an indicator of notability for him personally. And (obviously) I don't think that mailing list editorship counts towards WP:PROF #8, either. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - Thanks David. The article's wording implies that Michael won the award both personally and exclusively, which seems to be quite a stretch in light of what you've said. Thanks, Agricola44 (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
The problem is that while library holdings are high cites seem to be inconsistently low. A search on GS for 'author:"Robert Michael" Holocaust' give around total of 21 cites. Xxanthippe (talk) 05:33, 3 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Delete. The Robinson prize issue lessens my trust in the accuracy of the sources about him, so WP:V is an issue as well as WP:PROF. I did some more searching and found this nomination for the Robinson prize for H-net, which (as with other verifiable sources about the Robinson prize) fails to mention Michael. Our article has only one primary source, and although I did find a secondary source about Michael, this obituary, it appears to be so closely paraphrased from our own article (including the Robinson prize claim with as little justification) that it seems to me unusable for fear of circular sourcing. —David Eppstein (talk) 07:30, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep (but tag as a stub) -- The problem with this article is that it is only a stub. The CV which are the external link from the article lists about a dozen books, mostly related to the Holocaust. I do not regard being moderator of e-mail discussion lists as notable, but contributing editor of Menorah Review might be. This is a field of history that I so not deal with. Additionally I am faced with the difficulty that in US all lecturers are "professors", so that I find it difficult to see how distinguished be was. Peterkingiron (talk) 14:59, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete in view of various revelations above. Xxanthippe (talk) 22:10, 3 April 2010 (UTC).[reply]
Delete not a prize winner, but a contributor to an "Outstanding Teaching Aid". Lack of significant coverage in secondary sources. One short obituary from The Boston Globe and one from his pet project H-Net. --Bejnar (talk) 06:16, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- If the Globe piece were an independent obituary, I'd say that it contributed to some amount of notability. But it's labeled as a "death notice", which I think just means that some family member wrote it and paid the Globe to publish it. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:05, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

After serving in both WWI and WWII and receiving the British Empire Medal I belive notibility as a soldier has been established. I have added a copy of his Military Medical Record downloaded from the U.K. National Archives as additional proof of his service. There is also a link to the London Gazette announcing him as a recipient of the British Empire Medal - Medal of the Order of the British Empire. Thank you --Richard Jordana 16:22, 2 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richjordana (talk • contribs)

Comment. As a rule, only the highest awards for valor (Victoria Cross, Medal of Honor) automatically qualify the recipient (see WP:MILPEOPLE for general guidelines); the British Empire Medal by itself isn't enough. Also, quite a few people served in both world wars, so that doesn't do it either. Clarityfiend (talk) 20:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe the combination of the B.E.M. and serving in both World Wars would qualify him? I'm not sure who in Wikipedia makes these sort of decisions? One last query... If you decide to delete him, would he no longer appear under the B.E.M. recipients page? Category:Recipients of the British Empire Medal --Richard Jordana 20:40, 2 April 2010 (UTC)

Reply. Immediate decisions are made by the voters and administrators lurking hereabouts. If you want to plead your case for getting the criteria changed, try Wikipedia:WikiProject Military history. And yes, he would no longer show up in the category. If you check out the other recipients, you'll see that they qualify for achievements other than the BEM. Clarityfiend (talk) 21:34, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Lacks coverage needed in reliable sources to establish notability per WP:BIO Nick-D (talk) 23:09, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the combination of military service and a BEM is not enough to establish notability under WP:MILPEOPLE. His military career, although noble and worth remembering in my opinion, is probably similar to many thousands of men and women of his generation, thus the Military History project's standards have been set quite high in terms of decorations and notability. Thus, if Mr Tompkins is to be considered notable it would probably be because of his work in molecular biology. However, as the article is written it does not provide a positive statement as to his contributions in this field, so I don't believe it passes WP:GNG. — AustralianRupert (talk) 01:22, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I've been in contact with Medical Research in Cambridge. They have informed me that the BEM was not for Military duty but for Civilian service. He was nominated by a Nobel Peace Prize winner for his duty to his country. They will be forwarding the details to me along with the information at the crypt at St. Pauls Cathedral in London. I have added (Civilian Division) after BEM so I'm assuming that the article shouldn't be in the Military-related deletion discussions? --Richard Jordana 16:50, 4 April 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Richjordana (talk • contribs)

Delete the London Gazette describes him as a porter when he was awarded the BEM so it was probably in recognition of his many years service at the Laboratory. Although I suspect a long and hard working career and he did his bit during both wars like thousands of others, he does not appear to be notable in wikipedia terms.

Speedy delete, strongly. Advertising and original research:

FrostWare was created on January 1, 2010, under Quinton Wilson. His goals and aspirations to be the dominant company in the Linux community is starting to show as the company has gained explosive popularity....
On Jolicloud's release the company had a few reviews that led to solid followers as the first time rookies took advantage of the speed and small size it offered. Soon tens of thousands of downloads came flooding the servers as they young company found it evident they needed to expand....
The company now offers support for almost any Linux problem or any concern a costumer has, although the software is free of charge the company makes more money from Jolicloud revenue than most corporations that have been around for longer than a decade. Tons of investors continue to invest into this company as its success is evident. It is perceived to be the next Microsoft and Apple together.

I'd say this qualifies for speedy deletion as advertising; other stomachs may be stronger than mine, though. My first thought was that this material was added to the article as a hoax or spoof, but apparently it's always been like that. I'm still not convinced that this isn't a leftover April Fool's joke. If it is a parody, it's not bad, although I'd have tried to work in a few references to "knowledge management" and "software as a service" as well, although that might have made it a bit too obvious.

Or are we not allowed to delete spam because the article is only two days old, now? - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 14:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I tagged this for speedy deletion. Were it real, it would appear to be blatant spam; but in fact it seems to be a hoax. The claimed product Jolicloud also has an article. While that product has notability issues, it asserts that this distribution was created in France.[2] Neither the Jolicloud article nor its website mention "Quinton X. Wilson", Statesboro, or FrostWare. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 22:49, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to Tim Noah. -- Basilicofresco (msg) 14:19, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It won four Emmy Awards.[3] (As a side note, this appears far more notable than Sonicsgate, a film I proposed for deletion that was kept. Sometimes the deletion process seems a bit arbitrary given that there are a number of deletion votes for In Search of... already.) Chicken Wing (talk) 03:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes... I saw that blurb on the Tim Noah website, but was unable to determine if the film won the Emmys or if Tim himself had. If it can be sourced that the individual film had won them, then I'd be very happy to change to keep. But if the Emmys are Tim's and not the film's, then I'd still have to feel that the film itself has yet to show individual notability through RS. Schmidt, ^{MICHAEL Q.} 13:56, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm surprised there isn't some sort of Emmy database out there. If there is, I didn't find it in my brief search. Anyway, a bit of original research here, this article says Tim Noah has eight Emmy Awards, which would suggest that the four number applies just to "In Search".[4] The article also notes that "In Search" has aired on HBO and The Discovery Channel, which may be marginal evidence of notability. This account notes that one of the four awards went to Patricia Royce for producer, suggesting that the awards are tied to the film and not to Noah. It's a borderline case to be sure, and I probably wouldn't cry myself to sleep if the article disappeared, but four Emmy Awards is four Emmy Awards. Chicken Wing (talk) 14:09, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - Why are past Emmys such a bear to source? Researching past Emmys at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences website at http://www.emmys.org/ is amazingly unhelpful. Like you, I found repeated references to them in SPS, but nothing in RS. And even though numerous reliable sources DO call the film award-winning,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13].... they always do it as an aside in articles more about the creator than the film. Two possibilities presented themselves for this assumedly award-winning film: 1) it could be kept and expanded and sourced... or 2) set as a redirect to Tim_Noah#Films where there is already substantially more information about the topic. If someone has better luck than me, I would have no problem with it being kept, or spun out again later if someone were to properly expand and source the awards... but at the moment, the Tim Noah article is far more comprehensive about the film.

I'm really trying to understand why three solid references are removed that show validity of the subject.

Article #1 is about work in the Intelligence community (don't we want to know about what the DOD is doing?). Articles out of the intelligence community are few and far between. Please see the last sentence in the Abstract. Can it be more clear?

"Our contributions are built to work with AllegroGraph, from Franz Inc." 1. http://c4i.gmu.edu/OIC09/papers/OIC2009_4_SchragEtAll.pdf

The other two are in peer reviewed scientific journals. I don't understand how these CAN'T be considered relevant. In the field these are the best reference to have.

2. http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/ICSC.2008.10 3. http://www.computer.org/portal/web/csdl/doi/10.1109/ICSC.2009.33

Keep the references listed in Google Scholar seem to indicate more secondary source recognition than for most software. The fact that some of it is quite depreciating, doesn't lessen its notability.

- The title matches that of almost all the articles in the list at List of prisons in the United Kingdom#England and Wales - the only exception I think is Lancaster Castle, which is a special case and Lancaster Castle (HM Prison) exists as a redirect. This says to me that the title is a very useful search term, and the stats.grok.se figures show this title has had at between 40 and 200 hits a month since at least September, so at the very least the title should be kept as a redirect.

It will give the creators time to add content and sources. --MelanieN (talk) 04:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

My point is that no amount of sources will change that it's a primary school. Unless it has a Blue Ribbon award or other high-level cert (which it doesn't appear to), it won't turn it into a notable primary school. tedder (talk) 04:20, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There has certainly been ample time to gather evidence of notability, as the article was created twice in December 2009 by the same author. Besides, the AfD process usually takes a week, so it's not like we are rushing the article to deletion. Favonian (talk) 09:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There have been previous deletions? Shouldn't those previous discussions be linked here? --MelanieN (talk) 15:42, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

They weren't AfDs. One PROD resulted in the author blanking the article, and shortly afterwards a new attempt was made with (as far as I remember) only an external link to the school website, and that was speedied (A3). Favonian (talk) 15:58, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Merge/redirect to Los Angeles Unified School District which is the usual action with otherwise nn primary schools. TerriersFan (talk) 15:43, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge to Los Angeles Unified School District. (There are at least three schools by this name in the United States; this article is about the one in Los Angeles). I just added some more detail to the article, which was so minimal you couldn't even tell what city it was in, except by the telephone area code 323. However it still probably does not meet notability standards. Sorry, guys, I tried. --MelanieN (talk) 01:23, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. First, let me say that, although I'm essentially a merge-ist, I don't think that merging to LAUSD (the second largest school district in America) is smart. There are more than six hundred schools in that district, and a significant majority are lower-grade schools that we'd defaultly describe in the district article instead of on separate pages. I could see creating an article about the charter school agency (PUC Schools or Partnerships to Uplift Schools) and writing about all eleven of their schools, or creating a Charter schools in Greater Los Angeles article (Excel was the 100th proposed in the district, so there will be no shortage of potential content), but dumping it in LAUSD doesn't seem reasonable.
Second, this particular school has received some non-trivial media attention: e.g., Spanish language media and LA Times (both conveniently reprinted on the schools' website). Even though the LA Times is their "local" newspaper, it's also the second-largest metro newspaper in the entire country, which I think argues in favor of it likely not having the usual "everything in our backyard" problem (=the primary reason we want some kind of non-local media coverage, especially where small town papers are concerned). WhatamIdoing (talk) 01:47, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'm changing my vote to weak keep based on the coverage you found. I agree about the LAUSD article being impossibly huge, and I like the idea of creating an article Charter schools in Greater Los Angeles or List of charter schools in the Los Angeles Unified School District or something similar. I think with so many schools it would have to be a list, not an article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:05, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

WP:OTHERSTUFF aside, United States presidential election, 2012 is more borderline in terms of WP:CRYSTAL since there are verifiable things taking place right now (the Census and resulting redistricting) that will materially affect the election. That article does contain a lot of speculation, but even without the cruft there's enough for an article.

Delete, an essay of original research, a "how-to" guide, a non-notable neologism to the extent that the title isn't self-explanatory; and in my opinion most importantly complete bollocks, and really, patent nonsense: an important skill today's highly group oriented environment. Individuals are expected to be able to work in teams and have the skills to cooperate with team members. As a team member, your success is measured by your ability to communicate with your team members, your boss and your peers. Ah. Today's environment is "highly group oriented", as opposed to, say, yesterday's? Wow, didn't know that. I think somebody may be pulling our leg. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:22, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In the past, work groups tended to be more hierarchical and so communication would be a matter of doing what the foreman or boss said. Please see Team building, for example. Perhaps you have some foul-mouthed epithet for that too but the abundant sources demonstrate that it is the way of modern business. Colonel Warden (talk) 09:37, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. It remains my opinion that where a text seems to have been improvised "by a mind gifted with sufficient leisure and vocabulary", and seems to have been written by the pound, what you have is "content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no reasonable person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever." I will admit, American English contains a more precise technical term. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 15:25, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete While the contribution is appreciated, it doesn't pass Wikipedia's rules against essays and how-to guides. I have no proof that this is taken from somewhere else, although I think that the article's author has been using this in presentations of some sort.

Sure, but there's a difference between writing an encyclopedia article in essay style, and writing an essay. The word "essay" can have different meanings, but if a person is advocating something (and how-to instructions or recommendations are a form of advocacy) it falls under WP#NOTESSAY as well as WP#HOWTO. As noted below, the topic is covered in small-group communication. Mandsford (talk) 13:55, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:N/WP:CORP. As a production company this is not a notable entity. Third party references in the article do not discuss the production company, and in any case are pretty shaky basis for an article about anything. Rogue Cinema is possibly OK for the actor being interviewed--though it should be noted that interviews aren't the best sources. The NY Times page (not article) is just syndicated data of unclear authorship. There are quite literally 109 ghits on this subject, many of which are user profiles or otherwise user-generated content.

Neutral at this point, but leaning towards a weak keep. A Google News Search returns a number of results from the Oxford Mail about Didcot Town results mentioning Peace specifically ([18], [19], [20], [21], [22]), but these are all from local papers. However, there is coverage in the Telegraph ([23]), and from the BBC (for example Didcot Town manager Stuart Peace aims for consistency, Peace to stay as Didcot manager, Didcot want manager Peace to stay). The last two of those BBC stories deal exclusively with him and his managerial tenure. While he certainly doesn't satisfy WP:ATHLETE, a look through the Google results, especially those BBC stories, may well be enough to establish notability under the GNG. Even if this page gets deleted, I agree with Cptnono that this article should be userfied, as there seems to be some chance that he may eventually meet WP:ATHLETE. -- Lear's Fool (talk | contribs) 05:53, 7 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

SIMULTANEOUS 4-DAY TIME CUBE WITHIN SINGLE ROTATION.

4 CORNER DAYS PROVES 1

DAY 1 GOD IS TAUGHT EVIL.

Believer is far more EVIL than a False God, for Google cut back my Site from 34,000,000 to 4,000,000 in 1 night for the above Statement. 1 Day1God exists only as Evil.

I thought Google was free of such evil bias, predjudice

and shenanigans that block real truth from being known.

Once before, Google cut back my site from 89,000,000 to 34,000,000 in a single act for something I said, that/s Evil Google is ONENESS EVIL as I experienced and you can see. Evil people propose Time Cube Trim.

I call down a Demonic Curse upon the Evil Americans who ignore Earth's 4 Corner Days within a single rotation of 4 quadrant Earth. Believing in a God when there is proof that there is no God, dooms humanity to a Hell of Horror. America is 1/2 way to it's Hell. The American "Bill of Rights" - "Freedom of Speech", is BullShit. MisEducators suppress The Time Cube Principle and will not allow Students to discuss or debate it's merits and application. Also, the Academic bastards will not even allow Time Cube on their web sites. On Yahoo, Time Cube - 81,000,000 and on Google was once 89,000,000 - until

cut back to 3,000,000 by ignorant believers.

 Ptolemy said Earth was center of Universe.

Ptolemaic System was correct, but why? Because the BINARY of the masculinity SUN and femininity EARTH revolve as the Cubic Creation center of the Universe.

One thing that did crop up is List of Sega Mega Drive games which could be used to fulfill the same criteria (except within a realistically small population) - there's a "regions released" column and the table is sortable. These games-by-system lists are a hell of a lot better target for maintainence since they kill a lot of birds with one stone. The problem is, there's no guarantee consensus would agree in a column of that nature being rolled-out, and currently all of the lists have different set-ups/columns.

Delete 'Action game' is a blanket term which could refer to any kind of twitch gaming, IE most games which aren't turn-based. That makes this "list of most video games from the 1990s", which is meaningless. Contributors have built up a vast array of categories and lists of games from different years/time periods, from different genres, on different systems and with different settings - all of which can help readers find what they're looking for a hell of a lot better than this list could ever hope to. Someoneanother 19:10, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- It's silly to suggest that Category:Action video games can help readers find what they are looking for better than a list which includes the year, system and publisher on the same page. Polarpanda (talk) 10:18, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  - It would be silly to suggest that, which is why I didn't, did you read my !vote? That category is a dumping ground for games which have not been or cannot be classified in a more descriptive sub-genre (beat 'em up, shoot 'em up, platformer, action adventure, FPS, third-person shooter, lightgun game, fighting game, maze game, the vast majority of survival horrors etc. etc. ad nauseum), it does not represent the population of action games which is likely to be more than half of all games released on all computer and console systems as well as the vast majority of all arcade games. This list was not designed as a counterpart to it, which is why most if not all of the games within are not in the action game category but instead located within sub-genre categories. Someoneanother 16:34, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    - I'm sorry we obviously have different understandings of the word "all". I presume you mean something like List of platform game series which is no help at all if I'm looking for games from a particular time period. Polarpanda (talk) 17:27, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      - So which do you build up/create? A list comprising of most video games from the time period, or lists/chronologies by sub-genre? As a group, 'action games from the 90s' is so massive and wide-ranging that including a few extra data fields like publisher etc. doesn't even scratch the surface. Chronology of platform games: 1990 to 1999, Chronology of beat 'em ups: 1990 to 1999 or expanded versions of lists like List of beat 'em ups are much more wieldy. Someone another 18:12, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- as Axem and SomeoneAnother have noted, the concept of "action game" is used too vaguely for this list to be in any way discriminate. It also suffers from no sourcing and original research. Reyk _YO! 22:30, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Action game is clearly defined, all defining characteristics listed in the article for that genre. The list can be added to over time, it surely a long one. Someone could perhaps make a bot to find all video game articles that have in their info boxes that they are of the action game genre, and then add those to the list. A bot could perhaps even read the date released, and other information to compile this and other such list automatically. I'm going to go make a bot request for that now.

Currently the page consist of pretty much exclusively plot detail and gives no references except for the comic itself and its creator. The general requirement for a stand alone article as stated in the general notability guideline is "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject". In this instance I cannot find any evidence that this comic has received any coverage from reliable, third party sources and per Wikipedia:Verifiability "If no reliable third-party sources can be found on a topic, Wikipedia should not have an article on it.".

Keep - Sources here and here and what appear (from Google searches such as "FIDR Viet Nam" and "FIDR Cambodia") to be a profusion of relevant foreign language sources, many of them government-based. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:43, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - additionally, WP:ORG provides the following alternative criteria for notability, deeming an organisation notable where (a) the scope of their activities is national or international in scale (FIDR operates in multiple countries) and (b) information about the organization and its activities can be verified by third-party, independent, reliable sources (which it can). Essentially it drops the "significant coverage" criterion in favour of a "wide scope of activity" criterion, which is good as there's plenty of reliable sources on FIDR but not a lot of English-language significant coverage. - DustFormsWords (talk) 06:47, 25 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
