Delphic of gamma sigma tau fraternity

Doesn't pass WP:N. Cool Blue 18:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Regional fraternity with only one active chapter. Not-notable enough for a student organization. Caknuck 19:45, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Giving the article itself time to expand means nothing if it's not notable in the first place. — Pious7_Talk 16:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete per Pious7's point, because not notable. Seems to be a commented linklist only. --Gwyndon 18:58, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Iridescenti had a great point in that there needed to be time for expansion, but it has now been a week since the article's creation. Beyond the creation and the AfD, there is no other activity in the article's history. Article is not notable in its current state, and if nobody has improved it in the week since the nomination, it's probably not going to be further improved. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Cambridge Centre

non notable mall, with little to no information actually in the article. ⇒ SWATJester 19:16, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

keep notable mall. . Article includes basic information, goes beyond being a directory entry. Sufficient sources certainly seem to exist here. --W.marsh 19:29, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete - nothing to distinguish this from many other undistinguished malls and no definite secondary sources in the article to establish notability. TerriersFan 23:10, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
- Most malls offer curling? --W.marsh 23:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
  - Fair point - however, none of the sources indicate that the ice rink is integrated with the mall or confirms its importance. Notability is more than existence being shown; it needs secondary sources to confirm its significance. If the necessary sources can be produced then I will change my view. TerriersFan 19:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
    - Well there is a secondary source, but unfortunately it requires a subscription/fee to view the entire article. Still, I think it does confirm what I added. --W.marsh 23:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

- Comment Not a unique feature. Eastdale mall in Montgomery, AL has had an ice rink for many years. It doesn't have an article here. Dimitrii 21:49, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep. There seems to be enough to indicate that it is a significant local feature and the size of the recent investment in improvements also helps tip the scales for me, but it is still a very borderline keep. -- DS1953 00:27, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep current version, ample evidence suggests that this is notable enough for an electronic encyclopedia, meets WP:A policy as well. Burntsauce 17:25, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment User Sasquatch4510 and potential sockpuppets 216.59.253.82 and 216.59.253.214 keep removing the AFD header from the article. I am trying to assume good faith and presume that they are confused as to the difference between AFD and PROD, but wouldn't mind some help keeping an eye on the page for more reversions.--Xnuala (talk) 21:55, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep but add more sources, per WP:ORG, to establish that it's worth keeping. - Tiswas 17:04, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
KEEP The article is very similar to all other shopping centre articles. Why should it be deleted and other sloppier articles stay?

Comment - comparison to the of quality other articles is not a basis for inclusion or deletion - it only serves to highlight the quality or lack thereof of the other article. - Tiswas 17:21, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Kozlov Centre

more non notable mall cruft. Again, no sources other than official site link. Again, no assertion of notability, etc. ⇒ SWATJester 19:20, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. I'm all for keeping a mall that is extraordinarily large, or is the biggest in a province, the first to do some notable thing, or is otherwise notable. But this mall does not appear to be any of these. Herostratus 01:58, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Owen figure-skating family

Duplicate page. Each member of the fmaily is notable in hir own right. Absolutely no need to have a seperate page for the family itself. Kolindigo 20:12, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I agree, but it would be a lot easier just to turn this into a disambig page than to use the AfD mechanism to try to get rid of it. Dr.frog 20:52, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

I thought about that, but I'm not sure a disambig page is that necessary. The way I see it, they aren't known as a family the same way that families who perform as groups are known as a family. I've always seen it as "Maribel Vinson and her daughters", never collectively as "the Owen family". But I could just not be reading the right things. :) Kolindigo 22:06, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

DAB page is largely unnecessary per Kolindigo. There are no incoming links. Just delete. Ohconfucius 04:53, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Though the article does point out that it might be worthwhile to create a See also link in each individual article to unite all the members of the family. SilkTork 14:41, 22 April 2007 (UTC) Additional comment: I've just checked. Only one article had the links missing - I've now added that. All articles are linked. SilkTork 14:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete as unnecessary. Although I've supported "X family" articles in the past when they serve an organizational/navigational purpose, this is two generations -- parents and children -- and there is no need for a page showing the family tree. Every member's article should have this information already. --Dhartung | Talk 19:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. The articles for each individual are well written enough. Not really a duplicate article, as it doesn't actually duplicate anything that the articles discuss. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

The result was delete. - Mailer Diablo 12:00, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Appears to be a non notable calculator game. A Google search for "Uncle Worm" turns up a dozen or so websites where one can download the game, but none of the "multiple non trivial works" required by WP:N.

Executive Summit

Delete Advertisement. dcandeto 22:57, 15 April 2007 (UTC)
weak Keep It may nonetheless be notable. It's a large industry, and if this is the top-level sales meeting it would be N. I asked for documentation about market share. If kept, the puffery can easily be removed--I just now did about half. There is no more justification for including the detailed schedule of a trade show than there is for a middle school. DGG 03:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
There are plenty of "executive summits" for much larger industries. For example, the telecom industry collects more money than annual box office sales every two weeks. The games industry is small when compared to the movies industry, and the games industry is dwarfed by telecom. The size of an industry should not be a criterion for inclusion.

More to the point, there's nothing particularly notable about this event. These type of events are as common as they come. Or should I start creating articles on every event I produce? As a bonus and worse, ethically and procedurally, User:IEMA and User:Gowardo appear to be working on behalf of Interactive Entertainment Merchants Association (IEMA) without identifying themselves as such. This makes their contributions astroturfing and conflicts of interest. Adraeus 08:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Aluminij

I think it is an ad to promote a company I really do not think it is usefull information Jdchamp31 22:59, 15 April 2007 (UTC)'

It's a company worth over 150 million convertible marks, one of the most successful in Bosnia. It's significant both economically (in the post-war recovery) and politically/culturally (as largest employer of Croats in BiH). I certainly did not create it as an ad. --Thewanderer 00:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I've rewritten the article and provided sources, inline refs, more info and less advertising. I have no opinion on whether it should be kept or deleted. REDVERS ↔ SЯEVDEЯ 09:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. If the article's stubby, it will be expanded. --PaxEquilibrium 21:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
Just a note, that I originally removed the speedy tag from this which claimed it was "blatant advertising", a criterion clearly failed by the article in all its revisions. It should probably be kept, but I say this based principally on reading the English version of their website which I accept does not usually qualify as an independent source. Searching for the reliable sources has proven hard since they are as a rule not in English. This fact shouldn't stop us carrying an article on it if it is notable, since a tag for sources would, we hope, eventually be answered by a relevant-language speaking editor who can accurately assess what a Google search returns. (NB. I say this in reference largely to the non-rewritten article which included a number of claims relating to success and awards which I found difficult to locate English-language confirmation of. They have now been removed, but we should bear in mind that the claims may nevertheless be true). Splash - tk 21:52, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Mobile Performance Group

Vanispamcruftisement. Contested prod. MER-C 04:20, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. No indication of notability outside small college town. Daniel Case 04:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Mobile Performance Group, though not widely popular or known, seems to have a niche in the electronic arts community. With a Google search I found a few people and groups interested enough in the group to write about it or post videos. Turbulence.org, A popular blog for network performance. A German University professor's curriculum. Besides these texts, there are videos on YouTube and some other video sites as well. Through another Google search I found the music director, Nathan Wolek, is a recognized part of the academic music community. Both founder Matt Roberts and Nathan Wolek have been collectively and individually invited to perform and/or speak at multifarious events in the United States and abroad. This is visible on their personal web pages, which are among the first links to appear Yahoo when one searches with their names.

According to the Knowledge:Notability (music) article if the group "Has gone on an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one large or medium-sized country,3 " then it is "very likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given group. . ." They have traveled to several locations within the U.S.

Though the interest may be primarily academic(besides the YouTube presence) there seems to be a notable interest from that community.

The group has performed at some of the most recognized international conferences in the new media arts field. International Computer Music Conference (ICMC 2006) and International Symposium for Electronic Arts (ISEA2006). These are both highly competitive international events. In addition to that the group has performed in several new media festivals http://www.mattroberts.info/mpg/about.html , featured in important new media arts web sites http://www.turbulence.org/blog/archives/002865.html and featured in the press San Jose Mercury News http://www.mercurynewsphoto.com/2006/08/11/mobile-performance-groups-parking-spaces/

Delete: Turns of phrase like "there seems to be" or "seems to have" really hit WP:WEASEL hard; what independent evidence exists that they have a recognized niche or that the founders are as popular as they claim? There are zero reliable, independent, published sources about this group. Of the "performance" links in the article, only half of them mention MPG at all, and then only in lists of performers in street festivals. Only 45 Google hits , and it's a telling thing that this AfD discussion is actually in the top dozen hits the outfit has. Fails WP:V, WP:BAND. RGTraynor 17:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I believe the groups entry should be reconsidered. The group has performed at some of the most recognized International Conferences in the field of new media arts. ISEA and ICMC are widely recognized International organizations dedicated to new media or computer arts. The group has also received legitimate press coverage. Please consider the following ISEA2006 ZeroOne San Jose: A Global Festival of Art on the Edge & the Thirteenth International Symposium of Electronic Art (ISEA2006) The group was selected, from an international call to artist, to perform at this festival http://01sj.org/content/view/381/49/ Their participation was covered by San Jose's most popular news paper Mercury News http://www.mercurynews.com/ http://www.mercurynewsphoto.com/2006/08/11/mobile-performance-groups-parking-spaces/ ICMC 2006 International Computer Music Conference http://www.icmc2006.org/ The group was selected, from an international call to artist, to perform at this Conference https://attica2.tcs.tulane.edu/icmc2006/temp/Rehearsal-LateNight.htm and they were part of the subject of discussion in a panel at icmc2006 entitled The Laptop Ensemble as Pedagogical Tool http://www.nathanwolek.com/nathanwolek/papers/wolek_icmc2006panel.pdf this panel included faculty from University of Michigan, Princeton and Minnesota State University

Other international festivals they have participated in are University of Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival (15th annual) http://emu.music.ufl.edu/femf/fest15prg.html ConFlux 2006 (Conflux is the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice.) http://confluxfestival.org/projects.php?projectid=350 ProvFlux http://www.pipsworks.com/contact/projects/parking.html Ybor Festival of the Moving Image http://www.yborfilmfestival.com/2004/artists/mobile_performance_group.html

You can also find their work featured on the blog networked _performance http://www.turbulence.org/blog this blog is also highly regarded in the new media arts field http://www.turbulence.org/blog/archives/002865.html

I think it is clear that the group has been recognized by several important institution dedicated to the field of new media arts, and the entry should be reconsidered.

A local music festival doesn't magically become "international" just because the organizers claim it is. The purported "participation coverage" given by the Mercury News is, in fact, just a couple of photos on a website slideshow; the actual text article just lists the group with many others as having participated. That one of the group's members mentioned the group in a lecture he gave himself (and for which the source is his own website) confers neither notability or verifiability ... and heck, I've been on panel discussions with some of the top science fiction authors around, but that doesn't make me notable. There is not a single reliable, independent, published source which actually discusses this group or reviews their material, and no sources presented backing up the assertion that these "international" organizations and festivals are widely recognized or that they are competitively selective of the groups playing there. RGTraynor 17:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

These clearly are not local music festivals I believe if you take a look at these organizations about pages you will see that they truly are international festivals, that take place in a different part of the world every year. They are also some of the oldest festivals dedicated to Electronic arts. I have provided some links for more information. ISEA http://en.wikipedia.org/ISEA http://www.isea-web.org/eng/about.html a link to the list of international artist for ISEA 2006 http://01sj.org/content/blogsection/13/48/ More than 150 artists from around the world will present contemporary art "on the edge" in more than a dozen exhibitions throughout San Jose and the surrounding Greater Bay Area. once again ISEA is a highly regarded international festival for electronic arts. ICMC International Computer Music Association http://en.wikipedia.org/International_Computer_Music_Conference http://www.computermusic.org/about_icma/about_master_frameset.html The ICMA cosponsors the annual ICMC, which, since its inception in 1974, has become the preeminent yearly gathering of computer music practitioners from around the world. The ICMC's unique interleaving of professional paper presentations and concerts of new computer music compositions—refereed by ICMA-approved international panels— creates a vital synthesis of science, technology, and the art of music. You can find a web page with more information regarding the last ICMC at http://www.icmc2006.org. Florida Electroacoustic Music Festival http://emu.music.ufl.edu/femf/index.html The festival features an international selection of contemporary electroacoustic art music. Concerts included juried presentations, curated concerts, and concerts of special interest or topics. Papers presentations, lecture demonstrations, and studio reports are also presented during the three day spring festival. This festival is organized by the University of Florida School of Music which is a well known and respected institution, this festival has a long history this year is the 16th annual festival. ConFlux http://en.wikipedia.org/Psy-Geo-Conflux http://confluxfestival.org/conflux2007/content/view/11/63/ Conflux is the annual New York festival for contemporary psychogeography, the investigation of everyday urban life through emerging artistic, technological and social practice. Although this festival is young it is highly regarded in the field of psychogeography, here is an article from the village voice about this festival http://www.villagevoice.com/news/0319,zimmerman,43875,1.html

Again I would ask that you reconsider calling these "local music festivals" calling themselves international. These festivals have a long and respected history and are truly international, they are highly competitive events featuring artist from around the world at the top of their field.

Keep I guess according to the above note I put my comments here. The website's claim to fame is that it was ran by Islamic terrorists and some dope decided to "hack it" and change the password. Some quotes from random articles I accessed:

"Jehad.net recently carried a message from bin Laden’s official spokesman, as well as copies of two purported jihadi training manuals: “The Mujahideen Explosives Handbook” and “The Mujahideen Poisons Handbook."

"...of Islamist terrorist organizations, the Internet substitutes for the loss of bases and territory. In this respect the most important sites are alneda.com, jehad.net, drasat.com, and aloswa.org, which feature quotes from bin Laden tapes, religious legal rulings that justify the terrorist attacks, and support for the al Qaeda cause.29 In addition, website operators have established a site that is “a kind of database or encyclopedia for the dissemination of computer viruses.”30 The site is 7hj.7hj.com, and it aims to teach Internet users how to conduct computer attacks, purportedly in the service of Islam.31"

It is fairly notable in its own right, regardless of the incident, based on the content that was there and who purportedly ran it. To my knowledge, it is one of the only so called "jihadist" websites that actually gained notoriety in the general public, mainly do to the "hacking incident". Do a google search and read up on the particulars of this domain.

Technology Group International

Since a prod was contested, the author has added a whole list of references to establish notability. After looking through them, I'm kind of undecided, since some of them are press releaseses, quite a few of the articles are from the same author (Thomas R. Cutler) or mention the company relatively briefly. Overall I'd might keep it, but wanted others to take a look. S.K. 16:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep 35,000 ghits, combined with the current quality of the article, is enough. YechielMan 17:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
~~Provisional~~ keep, provided that the description that they are a "provider of enterprise business solutions" gets edited to something more specific and concrete, and less buzzwordy. They seem instead to be a software business, not a chemical company; their products do not involve "solutions", and emptily grandiose promotional prose like that does not belong in an encyclopedia. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

@SK: I was similarly undecided about my articles. However, I looked into Mr. Culver's contributions elsewhere and opted to give the benefit of the doubt - he's a regular contributor to nearly two dozen industry publications, most in the manufacturing and distribution sectors, where this company's software is used. @Smerdis: I respectfully disagree with your characterization of the use of "business solutions" as "grandiose". However, as it is the commonly accepted way to describe products/services that solve business problems, your point about buzzwords is well taken and I have edited accordingly. Missysedai 22:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

". . . (E)nterprise business software for manufacturers and distributors" is much better, describing both the actual product and who might find it useful in relatively specific terms. FWIW, "business solution" is a pet peeve of mine: my strongly held opinion is that the phrase is vague, and reeks of overconfidence. - Smerdis of Tlön 00:15, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Most of the supporting articles were written by the same marketing consultant and say very little about the company.

Furthermore, the Keep single-use !voters rely upon her membership in this Anjel group as proof of her notability, yet according to the group's article (which is in itself a gossipy mess worthy of AfD) it never actually released an album, had any airplay or performed a single concert ... so what?

Underground Cafe and Alternative Bookstore

Article does not claim notability and does not cite any sources. Google yields only 49 results, none of which appear to be reliable, thus a verifiable article cannot be written.

The article has been a battleground between User:TakingYourselfTooSeriously who has been introducing the unsourced "controversy" section and an anonymous editor removing it; both admit to having been/being part of the organization, thus having a conflict of interest. TakingYourselfTooSeriously also insists that the original author has a conflict of interest.

Given the lack of reliable sources and the edit wars on this article, I feel that it is best deleted. -- intgr 18:51, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Virgin_Molotov_Cocktail and ChrisErb were also a part of the cafe. This violates COI. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by TakingYourselfTooSeriously (talk • contribs).

Delete - an edit-war is a content dispute, and as such is not valid grounds for deletion. However, there does not appear to be any reliable sources to establish notability. There appears to be some claim to local notability in some of the keep arguments from the previous AFD that resulted in "no consensus", but again, I can't find any sources to even establish that. -- Whpq 20:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

~~Keep~~ - over 600 Ghits excluding mirrors; whilst some of these just list it as a venue, there are enough that actually discuss it to convince me that it's a focal point of the Canadian hard-left scene & warrants its own page. Two of the three reasons given by the nom (WP:COI and edit wars) are invalid reasons for nomination, and the third (lack of attribution) seems easily addressed. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: The count on the first page of search results is wrong since it also includes duplicate mentions on a single web site. If you click on the last page of results, you can see that there are only 38 results. The only reason why I mentioned the content dispute was to add weight to the argument — we cannot have a neutral article without any sources and an army of editors with a conflict of interest, so that it is bound to be either a battleground or a biased non-verifiable mess. -- intgr 12:16, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete: Fails WP:V, WP:CORP/WP:ORG. Even 600 G-hits would be, in fact, pretty damn low, but intgr is correct; 38 unique hits - most of which are Knowledge mirrors and their own releases - is pathetically low, and has zero reliable sources. The group's own webpage states that the project has failed and more sources are not likely to appear. RGTraynor 17:46, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

In light of the above, changing to Delete. You're right - on close reading of that website it appears it's actually some kind of local music venue with a peculiar name and a nice line in self promotion, and not the Canadian equivalent of City Lights they publicise themselves as - iridescenti (talk to me!) 18:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Besides which, heck, I've been in Fredericton. It's a freaking small city, and if it wasn't the provincial capital and the site of the University of New Brunswick there'd be 57 people there. The kind of local club worthy of Knowledge articles are like Club Passim, in which the likes of Bob Dylan and Tracy Chapman fought to play, and Bruce Springsteen tried and failed to play.

Delete - serves no useful purpose given that all this information is easily accessible from the character map. In an incomplete form it's pointless, and in a complete form it will be unmanageably long. A goodly chunk of the characters won't even display correctly on most people's computers, anyway. If it must be kept, keep it as a character map style grid, rather than this sprawling laundry list - iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep - While this could have been Speedy'd at the beginning (as it was obviously work in progress), I think it is 'full enough' to stay. Of course, the other options are:

Move to Userspace
Keep article, but split it up, i.e. List of Unicode characters 0000-0999 List of Unicode characters 1000-1999 etc etc (this helps with the space problem).

Personally I'd sooner split it up but only as a secondary option to keeping. --NigelJ 20:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep but limit to the standardized subsets. — RJH (talk) 20:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment - there was a very notable song of this title back in the 1970s. It was a major hit and warrants an article based upon the WP:SONG provisions, however it's impossible to tell whether this article is about the same song (presumably the article is about a cover version).

Chip Fairway

Non notable wrestler, no evidence of multiple independent non trivial sources. The one "reference" provided can be seen here and the two sentences reference absolutely nothing in the article. Fails WP:BIO and WP:A. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 23:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Chip Fairway's notability has been established as a wrestler who has held titles in IWA Mid-South and the Heartland Wrestling Association, both notable promotions, appeared on the first Brian Pillman Memorial Show as well as appearing on both WWF and WCW television. Additionally, the nominator could have contacted me if he felt the article had been improperly sourced or placed any number of templates including {{citecheck}} rather then immediatly nominating it on afd. However, I've since specified the source in which Chip Fairway's particular "gimmick" is ranked no. 9 on a list of wrestlers whose personas are those other then a typical wrestler ("Keeping Your Day Job"). noted as one of the more unusual "gimmicks", others on this specific list include notable wrestlers Brutus "the Barber" Beefcake, Isaac Yankum and the Repo Man. MadMax 05:56, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Commment When you talk about notability, perhaps you'd like to stop talking about things that are notable to wrestling fans that are totally irrelevant to Knowledge, and instead use notability guidelines? Has this person been the subject of multiple non-trivial independent sources? No. Is there a good deal of verifiable information available about him? No. Wrestling in minor wrestling promotions does not confer notability on him. Minor league baseball players are not generally notable, therefore neither are minor league wrestlers. An unsourced claim that he appeared on TV as a jobber does not make him notable, we don't have articles on every single actor that has ever appeared on TV, just the notable ones. There was absolutely no need for me to use {{citecheck}}, as I checked the reference myself and it did not verify anything in the article at the time. I suggest in future instead of applying the unhelpful method used by the wrestling wikiproject of simply adding references to the bottom of the article like a magic umbrella, you attribute information to the references.

Comment please refrain from making widereaching, misleading generalizations about WP:PW and stick to the subject at hand MPJ-DK 12:04, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment The subject at hand is the deletion of this article, perhaps you'd like to follow your own advice and use my talk page in future? One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 12:17, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Weither or not you feel the article itself is properly sourced, which seems to be your major issue with the article, Chip Farway is a notable wrestler. IWA Mid-South and the Heartland Wrestling Association are both notable promotions and the Brian Pillman Memorial Show is a notable event. I'll be the first to agree that Knowledge should not resemble a wrestling trivia site, and wrestlers such as Texx Reed or promotions like as the recently deleted South Cali Pro Wrestling are clearly examples of non notablility. However, there are notable independent wrestlers specifically those who have wrestled for notable promotions and events. Wrestling as a regular competitor (nevermind winning titles) in a notable promotion does make a wrestler notable, regardless weither its properly sourced or not. There are plenty of wrestlers who have been included in Knowledge whose career highlight was competing as a "jobber" for the WWF and WCW. This is not a notability issue, this is a matter of providing references as in many wrestling articles nominated for deletion. MadMax 17:37, 17 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Again, your comments have nothing to do with Knowledge guidelines on notability for people, which can be found at WP:BIO. Rather than making up your own guidelines out of thin air, I suggest you use the existing ones. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃

I'm not simply picking independent wrestlers at random an neither am I "making up guidelines out of thin air". The reason you propose the articles deletion is your claim he's not notable. However, while the article may be poorly sourced in your opinion, the fact remains he is notable as a professional wrestler having won titles in two notable promotions. Regardless, this article already has one reference as per a published book (as well as numerous ouces used by other wrestling articles as reliable sources) and I don't see how his notability above the "average" independent wrestler is still in question. MadMax 18:51, 18 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Yes you are making guidelines up out of thin air. You're saying he's notable "for x and y", yet neither of those are in the notability guidelines. You claim two of the promotions are notable, yet neither of them has been proven to be notable, in fact they are unsourced at present. Inclusion is not an indicator of notability. You are quite correct in that he's probably as notable as the "average" independent wrestler, who by and large are not notable. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 15:28, 19 April 2007 (UTC)

So are half the wrestling articles on Knowledge, but I don't see anyone calling for their deletion. If you feel these promotions are non notable, you are free to nominate them for deletion. However, as they presently exist on Knowledge, the assumption is that they are notable. According to your reasoning, if Bret Hart or Ric Flair were unrefernced due to ther accomplishments, then they too should be nominated for deletion as well. Also, please note I said "above the average independent wrestler" (winning titles in two major independent promotions, featured in a published book, appeared at notable event, etc.) not "the same as". Despite your own opinions, I've provided several references suppporting his notability, references which have been used in numerous other wrestling articles. I would urge anyone voting in this discussion to take this into consideration. Also, I've since provided references established both promotions notability and have removed the unreferenced tags. MadMax 08:51, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment I'm nominating the articles at a steady and slow rate, I would only get accused of a violation of WP:POINT if I nominated 50 wrestlers for deletion in one day. You fail to understand the difference between someone's name on a title history page and a non-trivial source. The published book is a paltry two sentences, again not a non-trivial source. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 15:17, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

I never implied you were violating WP:POINT, and I understand your reasons for the articles nomination however I simply disagree with them. You claim subjects are non notable regardless articles clearly asserting nobility. Using this argument, you go on to make the claim that because the article may or may not be properly sourced, their achievements can be disregarded. You've nominated other wrestling related articles based on this point yet it has been shown through many prior nominations (see: World Xtreme Wrestling or International World Class Championship Wrestling) that such references can be provided. Also, if you feel independent wrestlers and promotions are by themselves non notable, you may want to consider discussing your views with WP:PW if you believe they should generally not be included on Knowledge in regards to future afd nominations. MadMax 03:16, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Please stop relying on proof by assertion, and provide evidence that this person meets WP:BIO, specifically multiple independent non-trivial sources. One Night In Hackney₃₀₃ 10:47, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Trap (Internet meme)

Contested prod. A non-notable protologism for androgyny, with no assertion of notability. Apparently confined to 4chan, YTMND, and "similar web forums," though I can't find any instance of it used in this sense on YTMND. None of the references mention the term "trap" even once. I can't find any reliable independent sources at all confirming that this protologism is notable. Krimpet (talk/review) 00:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I think you may be right, though I have a few anime buddies who are quite insistent about this one, so... here are some search results. They do take a little digging, because it's hard to narrow the search down properly, but I found a few anime blogs and reviews using the term. Here's someone using it on the MegaToyko forums, but the thread dies too quickly to see if anyone knows what the poster is talking about. Maybe it's not so much an Internet meme as an anime fandom meme? I found a few Bridget trap references on YTMND without looking too hard, for what it's worth (see itsabridgetrap, bridgettrap, and bridgetisatrap; YTMND links are discouraged).

I could probably find more, or maybe do some but this is really silly when my involvement with the article started with capitalizing the 'I' in Internet. -.- One of the people who actually added content to the article should pick it up from here if that's not enough. Workingonmygooglefu 02:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

You know, there's always another interesting link on the next page of Google hits. Wiktionary lists 'transvestite' as a meaning for (slang, pejorative) wiktionary:trap, and wiktionary:transvestite lists 'trap' as a (slang, pejorative) synonym. Workingonmygooglefu 02:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep Archnishop As a member of both sites i gotta say that allthough rtb might seem irrellevant it is quickly growing larger than hackthissite itself. The article kerowin linked to lacks credibillity and is an outlet of personal issues against the author of rootthisbox. — Archnishop (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Keep scenestar Kerowren I believe you yourself are using this deletion procedure for your own agenda.

You as a prominent hts member are (understandably) In favor of hackthissite. However I do find it highly inappropriate and to some extent offensive that from your own viewpoint of this situation you try to remove content from wikipedia which is in your opinion "controversial"

As for the copying of parts of the revision. The revision has been somewhat forgotten and albeit being under revision for over 6 months has yet to be used in the actual article. Last time I checked it showed very little activity considering only small minor edits have been made in the past months. Also, I would like to point out that me using it as a template/framework for a future more extensive article is perfectly OK under wikipedia's GNU Free Documentation License.

In repsonse towards charlene's argument of notabillity. The website has been around for years and has a dedicated following. However due to a dispute over the domain the .NET TLD was chosen over .ORG

.org In its current form has little more to do than a domain squatter gaining traffic from effort the efforts of the previous owner.

Reaffirming Delete - I have no prejudice towards rootthisbox.net scenestar, frankly, more power to you, but my concern is that you created the article so as to be divisive and "legitimize" rootthisbox.net. I say this because from what I have read on sources concerning the matter, it has been discussed and understood that rootthisbox.net is in no way a re-incarnation of RootThisBox.org, but your own separate project started after prominent mods expressed dissatisfaction with your lone choice to move the TLD:(There are other numerous sources testifying to this.)

That alone is my concern, that if you are indeed holding animosity towards HTS that you did not create this article in spite. Please note also that in no way is the revision forgotten, it is being continually edited, and that it was recently put up for a requested move to become the main article. And on an another matter, your version has no where near the same number of active users as HTS. It only appears to do so being that you copied the entire database. So users who have never even heard of rootthisbox.net appear to have registered. -- Kerowren (talk • contribs • count) 20:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

- Those texts were released by hackthissite itself and therefore lack NPOV. But in respond to those lame alligations; I was personally appointed by Jeremy_Hammond as project leader --Scenestar 20:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
I'd say Delete simply for the crap you're talking, scenestar. The .org site is the "real" RootThisBox project, and I haven't seen that many people move from .org to .net really. Hence I don't believe that you can say that the site has a dedicated following, or even that it's been around for years - because rootthisbox.net hasn't.

Either way, the stuff going on between RTB.net and HTS shouldn't matter here. To me, this is about notability, and if a webbased project like this doesn't get enough hits on Google, that's enough reason for me to vote Delete. -The preceding signed comment was added by Nazgjunk (talk • contrib) 10:25, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Sister of Va. Tech killer Seung-hui Cho. Contested speedy; I think this one deserves a full AFD debate. See article talk page. NawlinWiki 01:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep Her notability is established well past the level for WP:BIO. She is the subject, not just the source of multiple, independent reliable sources (see talk page). Her prominence and 'rising star' career has been described as a contributing factor in her brother's psychological make-up. Her success as the daughter of immigrants has been contrasted with the difficulties face by her brother. In addition, her eloquence has helped the world to sympathize with her family's predicament. Ronnotel 01:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Reading through the delete votes, I find few that directly address whether this article meets WP:BIO. The standard for inclusion is clear: it is whether she has been the subject of multiple independent reliable references, which I believe she has been. There is no exception for whether she was only made famous by being the relative of a mass murder, or whether she deserves to have privacy, etc. I sympathize with Ms. Cho and her family, however, I think by any fair interpretation of WP:BIO this article should remain. Ronnotel 15:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete No notability beyond being a relative of someone infamous. She is a primary source about a legitimate article subject, not a legitimate article subject herself. Articles should not be written based on speculation that a subject may become famous in his or her own right, so unless she does Oprah and gets a book deal out of this, I say no dice. --Dynaflow 01:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete without prejudice to recreation should she become notable in the future. We'd have to be awfully careful not to contravene WP:BLP here, and to be honest I don't think she's notable enough in her own right yet that we should bother. Notability generally takes some time to develop; most people don't become notable overnight. We all know examples of relatives of killers or other criminals that have had a few minutes' attention only to slide back into their preferred obscurity. A few minutes' attention isn't enough to prove notability. --Charlene 02:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment. I take exception to your characterization. In fact I am very sensitive to the family's grief.

I should clarify that it's the presence of the article I find insensitive, rather than the subjective attitude of the contributors. Despite feeling compelled to make some statements, it's an involuntary notability and likely a fleeting one, and this article puts the focus very much in the wrong place. Given your reasonable comments I won't speedy it, however. Newyorkbrad 03:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. As Dynaflow, just a relative of someone infamous. She could achieve notability in her own right, but hasn't yet. Exposure is not notability. -- Mikeblas 03:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete per Dynaflow. No justification for including information about someone who not only has not established notability, but may very well in fact be wanting to avoid the public spotlight after this horror. We should not forget that we are human beings and we should show empathy for fellow humans. Please let this woman have her privacy, as it is apparent that is what she wants. Khorshid 04:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete Utterly unnecessary. --Hypergeometric2F1(a,b,c,x) 04:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete. Not notable before this incident, not notable apart from this incident, and not asserted as such. Therefore her 'notability' such as it is is inseparable from the incident, and can be more than adequately addressed in the article on that incident. Shenme 04:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Speedy Delete. Relatives of well-known figures are almost never notable except in rare cases. Biggspowd 04:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Not notable in any way, other than her relation to the psycho killer. Chris 05:22, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Delete Hard to believe we're having this discussion at all. The sister is simply commenting what someone else has done. ACK Mikeblas: Exposure is not notability. Apart from that, a teeny bit of respect towards a person who has been involuntarily catapulted into the spotlights of the international media wouldn't hurt either. --Ibn Battuta 05:35, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete - maybe mention her in the article on her brother, or recreate when she does become notable, but making a statement to the press and being the sister of a murderer do not constitute notability. Biruitorul 05:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
KEEP - She is notable as a spokesperson and this should be given time to expand as the first victim of her brother Emily. Bnguyen 05:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong delete, she is not notable and deserves whatever scraps of privacy she has left. For comparison, David Kaczynski actually turned in his brother the Unabomber and has written and spoken publicly about this decision. --Dhartung | Talk 05:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
No, please delete this. Even if she would have preferred to keep her privacy, it would have been very difficult for her not to comment (especially as the parents apparently hardly speak English), and the press would no doubt have made her seem insensitive if she had declined doing that. But she is so far not known for anything else and does not deserve the punishment of a page on Knowledge reminding everybody she ever meets that she is the sister of the Virginia Tech killer. (And please make sure this discussion does not get into Google's cache or the many sites copying Knowledge content either.) If she ever becomes "notable" in her own right, I suppose the relationship is difficult to avoid, but that can be dealt with at that future time. Pharamond 06:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete I will fully support this article's recreation should she ever become notable for anything other than being related to and making a statement about an infamous spree killer. Jeff Silvers 08:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong delete. Merge relevant info to the brother's and massacre's pages. Seung-Hui Cho is the place for content on his family and family's reaction to the massacre. - Banyan Tree 09:00, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete without prejudice. It could be that her work in Baghdad will lead to her becoming N in her own right, but at present this page is as inappropriate as the page on Hitler's dog (which I'm about to incur the combined wrath of dog-lovers and nazis for by prodding). As it stands she has no reason to have her own page other than being catapulted into the public eye by something a relative's done, and I agree with all those above who say that it's horribly insensitive to have a page on her up which serves no use other than prurience and will probably become a vandalism target - iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Actually, she doesn't even work in Baghdad, but in "an annex near the department's offices in Washington". In case this is kept, I've sourced that.--Dhartung | Talk 19:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete Totally unnecessary and most certainly it's mere prescence (unless she does something notable on her own) violates WP:BIO. Yanksox 14:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete as unnecessary, although she can and should be mentioned in the article about her brother since she has made public statements regarding his actions. Otherwise I don't see the need for her to have a separate article. 23skidoo 16:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete. She is not notable, and only is brought to attention through the mishaps brought about by her brother. _└_┘_talk 18:55, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment Well, according to Knowledge's definition of notable at WP:BIO and WP:NOTE she's clearly notable. But that says more about what a mind-numbingly awful guideline notability is than it says about the appopriateness of this article. --JayHenry 21:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete. If it wasn't for her brother, would she still have an article? Being the sister of a murderer does not make someone notable. AgentPeppermint 21:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete, preferably speedily. Good grief. --BigDT (416) 21:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

List of eponymous albums

Listcruft; not maintainable, no obvious point. Discussion as Knowledge talk:WikiProject Albums#List of eponymous albums includes the suggestion that it be transferred to a category, but the original category was deleted, and there seems no point resurrecting it.

Keep Personally, as a music fan, I find it interesting. Wiki is not paper, and this is the type of list which serves as a valid extension of the article Eponymous while not cluttering that or other music related albums. In fact, that article lists many types of Eponymous lists, including List of eponymous diseases, List of eponymous medical signs, etc. Oddly enough, this listing isn't on the page, so I will be adding that. As someone who views Knowledge as a way of serving the music community through informative, extensive articles, I fail to see the justification for deleting such an article. --Ataricodfish 03:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Decant

This is a pure dictionary definition, and Knowledge is not a dictionary. I nominated it for WP:PROD on the grounds that it was a dictionary definition and appeared to be a copyright violation from a Merriam-Webster dictionary, but I wasn't 100% sure about that. The article creator removed the PROD tag and provided sources for almost everything in the article -- but that means that the article is basically a combined copyright violation of two different dictionaries (a Merriam-Webster and an Oxford). Due to the use of exactly copied text, I don't think Wiktionary can use any of this content. Delete. --Metropolitan90 03:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Rename to Campfire cooking which makes the name sound less like an instruction manual, then remove the instructional parts to make more encyclopedic.

No reliable or verifiable sources. An article on temporary marriage in Iran (using valid sources) would be a legitimate effort, but this article is very poor quality. Khorshid 04:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete as not verified. Same ref to a dubious 'proposal' is used twice, with a third ref to some statistics. Nothing says this thing actually exists. All these articles (googling) are from the same time period back in 2002. If such a thing actually had been implemented they would be something more and later.

There is a New York Times article about the issue which is cited in the article. Shenme is definitely right when he says the article is "meant for embarrassment of Iran".

Jake "The Snake" Roberts: Pick Your Poison

nn DVD release, WP is not a directory, just a match listing of a DVD, does not needs it's own article. A precedent case, the similar Hard Knocks: The Chris Benoit Story, has previously been deleted and speedied. Any info for this could be easily put on Roberts' page (and other similar DVD releases). Biggspowd 04:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete though I don't object to the DVD being on the wrestler's own article, at least by title. There are literally dozens of wrestling DVDs/videos made every year. If there's any notability to any of them in particular, that can be handled as it comes. FrozenPurpleCube 06:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep if you're listing precedents then there are a long list of WWE DVDs that have been up for deletion and kept. MPJ-DK 12:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment, That afd is not a legitimate precedent as that tried to tag about a dozen DVD pages, which varied in notability. There was no clear consensus, and many voters were torn between what DVDs should be kept or not. Doing things individually instead of grouping is better since not all DVDs are equal, and the Benoit DVD page was deleted, and this is very similar in terms of style and notability. Biggspowd 13:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment - torn between which should be kept and which shouldn't, which leads to the logical conclusion that SOME should be kept right? Which also leads to the conclusion that this entry should be judged totally on it's own, that's the "legitimate precedent" set right? - not based on what happened to the Benoit DVD on the basis of this DVD - and this DVD, even if the article doesn't do it justice is a documentary about the career of Jake "The Snake", the matches listed are "Bonus" features and thus does not define the DVD. If it was a DVD which's main feature were matches I'd agree it should be deleted. MPJ-DK 13:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep. The DVD in question is a legitmiate documentary of a notable person. MadMax 13:04, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment, no one is questioning that the DVD doesn't exist or isn't legitimate, or that Jake Roberts isn't notable, the question is if it is notable to have it's own page, which it is not. Biggspowd 13:28, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep WWE hyped this up and treated this as a major release. As stated above, the worker it is about is notable as well. Kris Classic 20:07, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

~~*Keep~~ I am going with keep, if the dvd is biographical in nature then I feel that it should be okay to have on wikipedia. However I feel that the page needs more explanation in the Overview section on what is going on in the DVD. Govvy 12:28, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Oops! Okay I'll cite Govvy as having the original ideaŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ 11:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete All the documentary's content is about his life, which is sufficiently covered in the main Jake Roberts article. Just rehashing that info into a page about a DVD is just totally redundant and unnecessary. I would suggest that the main Jake article has a bit of info about the DVD, but not its own article. If there are verifiable things in the DVD that are relevant and important in his life, just put it in his article. The DVD doesn't cover any new ground. Dannycali 22:52, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment I have not watched this DVD but from reviews it seems Jake makes a number of completely unverifiable claims that may not be appropriate for the main article. For example, I've read that he claims his crack cocaine bust in Florida AND his animal cruelty bust in England were both law enforcement conspiracies. Things like that give this DVD a unique element. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ 23:06, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment I disagree 100% with your statement. All the DVD is is a bio of Jake, that is already covered in his main article. Merge anything absolutely necessary to his article. The Benoit DVD page got deleted, so this and all the other low-selling DVDs about wrestlers should be gone too. They also have their own pages. Dannycali 00:59, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Deletion of similar articles isn't grounds for automatically carrying out the same action. ŞůṜīΣĻ¹98¹ 01:20, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete I have decided to change my mind from keep to delete, I mean how many books are out there and how many DVDs are out there?

Anti-humor

50 Dollars Man

This article about a pejorative term is mostly original research and novel synthesis of cited works. No sources are cited for the origins or usage of the term itself, only for the labour statistics and arrests for prostitution. The sources themselves do not use this term. I disagree with the de-prodder's suggestion that the article should be renamed, for if we remove all the uncited material about this term itself, we'd have bits of trivia that would not go well under any other title. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-22 09:10Z

I suggested it be renamed because your complaint seemed to revolve around the fact that the name was not sourced and therefore, appeared to be made up by the article's author. IF the rest of the article is valid and the only issue with the article is the name "50 dollars man" than I suggest that the article be kept and renamed with a more appropriate title. You said that the literature cited for the rest of the article did not use that name. I suggest using the terms used in the references. And I do believe the article is worth keeping for sociological reasons as well as public health reasons. Postcard Cathy 23:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete per nom. If this could somehow be completely rewritten to be based on sources then I would vote to keep, since the topic is interesting.

Trevor Ivory

Stub article about a person selected as a Parliamentary candidate in the UK. The general election is probably not for two years, and he has no other notability. Sam Blacketer 09:44, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Very weak delete - he was the subject of multiple independent etc etc last year when (while he was chairman of South Norfolk Conservatives) he publicly said "Tony Blair should kill himself and cheer us all up" (or something along those lines), but that aside he hasn't really come to any attention - iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
- (edit conflict) Google news archive results are mostly about that one event, but there are other events amongst those. Also, he was an active in politics prior to running, as I have now added to the article. I am neutral on this article. John Vandenberg 03:36, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Weak keep – I'd have thought any candidate for public office who is mentioned in mainstream media would, by definition, be notable. One aspect of being encyclopaedic, for me, means that nearly every public figure should have an article. If this chap gets quoted somewhere, and I wonder who he is, wouldn't it make sense to be able to find a short Knowledge article? I guess I am an inclusionist; I don't see the harm in having articles for minor figures and minor topics so long as they pass some triviality threshold. I am uncomfortable with the idea of a cabal pronouncing somebody to be "non-notable". Trevor Hanson 03:02, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment - remember that the UK has 659 MPs, and nine major political parties - while a lot of those parties are regional so won't be contesting every seat, each seat will have a minimum of three serious candidates (Labour, Lib Dem, Tory) - that's a lot of articles - iridescenti (talk to me!) 08:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment – a valid point, though "a lot of articles" (out of 6,889,054 articles in English) is a matter of interpretation. I don't see anything surprising in 2,000+ bio stubs being added each UK election cycle. A newspaper research desk would presumably be doing the same thing. (These comments may not belong here, but strike me as going to the heart of the matter discussed in M:Inclusionism: How minor a topic is too minor?) Trevor Hanson 18:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

I see that, thanks to user:jayvdb, the article now has six media citations, two website references, and a handful of basic bio facts. For my money, it's a scanty but useful summary of who the person is. If I came across his name in a newspaper account and looked him up on Knowledge, I think the current article would cross the threshold of usefulness. Trevor Hanson 22:01, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Weak keep I don't go quite as far as Trevor, and I think those contending for purely local offices are not necessarily notable. But he is the candidate of a major party for a national legislative seat, and given those two factors, I think he's notable. However, I have found out that not everyone agrees with me about this. I'd be happier with a second RS.DGG 03:57, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Mr Ivory or his agent may want to consider the legal implications of allowing him to be described here as a parliamentary candidate rather than a prospective parliamentary candidate. My recollection is fuzzy but as I recall it could result in money spent from now on being counted against his election expenses. BTLizard 13:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Structural research

Reads to me like an original research essay to publicise a neologism.

- Comment. I don't doubt that some architectural designs have been inspired by nature, but the article is asserting that this kind of inspiration is (a) a field of study in its own right covering all varieties of design, and (b) known as "structural research". Unless (a) can be established from independent sources, the article is original research. Unless (b) can be established, it's about a neologism. EALacey 11:02, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Blondi

This one is no doubt going to provoke howls (if you'll pardon the expression) of protest from dog-lovers, history buffs & Nazis alike, and I apologise in advance to the closing admin for the fact that you're probably going to have to wade through 200 lines of WP:WAX on this. I initially planned to prod this, but in light of the number of editors who've worked on it there's no chance this won't be contested. I realise she's a famous person's dog, but at the end of the day she's still just a ****ing Alsation, who accomplished nothing in her own right other than have five puppies (she didn't star in any propaganda films, or die while attacking the Russian soldiers, for instance). The sole source is a single-line sentence from the (itself highly controversial) Anthony Beevor book "Berlin: The Downfall"; although I've no doubt that every word in this article is true, she doesn't seem to have had much coverage even at the time. The only comparable articles I can find (in an admittedly not very thorough search) are Checkers, who is only covered in terms of the Checkers speech and not in his own right, Humphrey who probably just about scrapes through WP:N on the grounds of the press coverage regarding his alleged poisoning/shooting by Cherie Blair, and Socks who probably ought to go as well since his 15 minutes of fame are well and truly over. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 11:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep The dog's the subject of multiple, independent sources, even if they're not cited on the article here. As everyone knows that Hitler's dog was called Blondi, and that he killed it before he committed suicide, it's probably one of the most famous dogs in history.

Keep I think that the pets of (in)famous people tend to be notable. In addition, the unusual manner of her death makes her notable.

Delete - Fails WP:N utterly, which states that to be notable a topic must be "the subject of multiple non-trivial published works that are reliable and independent of the subject." A one- or two-sentence mention in a several hundred page book is a trivial reference. One-sentence mentions in news articles are trivial references. Those who are asserting the existence of such sources, please back up your claim by adding citations to the article before the end of the AFD. Otto4711 18:32, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Merge To the main article on Hitler. Even if the dog received passing mention in many books about Hitler, that does not require that it have a separate article. See also Laddie Boy (dog); same plan of merging would be appropriate for that little-known Presidential dog, as well as Fala , Barney and Socks. Checkers is appropriately given a mention in Checkers speech. They got passing mentions as a consequence of who their owner was, so mention them in an article about the owner.

Totting up Google hits is not a measure of notability. All it tells you is that the words "Hitler" and "Blondi" were used in the same article. Try actually looking at some of those articles and you'll see that they are trivial mentions. Repetitions of "Hitler had a dog called Blondi," even several hundred repetitions of it, does not constitute non-trivial mentions of the animal and the dog is not the subject of the articles. Find a source or two of which the dog is the primary subject. Otto4711 19:31, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

And, appropos of nothing in particular, I now have stuck in my head, to the tune of Old McDonald, "There was a Führer, had a dog, and Blondi was its name-o." Otto4711 19:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Weak Keep I'm usually a pretty strong deletionist -- however, aside from Checkers, Blondi was possibly the most geopolitically important figure of canine heritage in the 20th Century, and her contributions to the Nazi regime should not be allowed to be scooped out of the yard of history by dog-apologist historians. --Dynaflow 05:22, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep Your assertion that these pages are nothing more than lists is correct. However, you should realize that we had, at one time, much more content regarding these sets and the pieces. They were deemed to have too much content and too many links and were targeted for deletion. In order to keep them up on Knowledge, we pared it down to what you see today. Now you are saying that it is too little content!?!?!

Well, perhaps you could provide a link to the diff of one of those better versions? Or perhaps you might want to work on the page in your user-space.

What would make the pages better is a description of the reaction and response, how the set sold, and where appropriate, addition of new types of figures and modifications to the game rules.

Universal genetic code

This article has been written by a single author. It seems to be "original research" in the sense that it is "a synthesis of published material that appears to advance a position". In fact, the author's own words seem to assert that it is a "novel narrative or historical interpretation". On the talk page the author, Valich, says: "Radical integrative conceptual frameworks break down walls, explain phenomena, and fuel scientific growth. I hope this is the direction this article takes. It should evolve in theoretical structure, as will the field." There already exists an article appropriate for the subject, Genetic code. To be gentle, I had originally proposed the article for merger, but the consensus so far (see also comments on Talk:Genetic code) seems to be that there is little or no value in this article. Madeleine 14:36, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

problems with merger I wanted to note here that, since this discussion started, Valich added some content to Genetic code (presumably some sort of merger). I heavily edited it to try to fit into the stuff that was already there, and added a website reference. There were no references in the content he added, and I found two factual problems. (A) "In common molds, for example, the DNA sequence "UGA" is translated into the amino acid tryptophan. In the standard code, it's a "stop" signal." As far as I can tell, this statement is wrong. The mitochondria of molds do have this alternate genetic code, as do mycoplasma (a type of bacteria), but mold does not. (B) "However, although Crick and Watson thought that the current canonical genetic code was "frozen," many now view it as evolving in complexity toward a greater number of amino acids." Crick and Watson? They figured out DNA structure, but the genetic code had a lot of work of other people over later years. Maybe Crick said something about it, since he was a heavy theorist and involved in the observations of frame shift and the triplet nature of it, but throwing in Watson's name makes me reject this statement as nonhistorical hyperbole.

I am not willing to sift through the Universal genetic code article to figure out which parts are real and which are not. I'm afraid the article has very little to contribute; in my opinion a support for merger is effectively support for deletion unless there is someone willing to go through the article and find worthwhile parts of it. -- Madeleine 16:10, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, the problems go further than that: Valich is trying very hard to make the case that the term "universal genetic code" is outdated, however, in doing so, she ignores that the existance of alternate codes were predicted long before the first was discovered. This means that the view of history is a bit biased as well, portraying the discovery of alternate codes as a complete surprise as opposed to the validation of a prediction already made on evolutionary grounds.

Frankly, the only way to use this article in a merge is to re-evaluate the sources. and check everything. Too many errors to use it without question. Adam Cuerden 04:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete Seems to be a fork, and I'm not sure the references support it enough for it to be merged. We could do more with the Genetic code article, but I don't think this has anything to add. Adam Cuerden 15:12, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep and merge with Genetic code. There is some useful content here, including historic aspects. This article has significantly more references than Genetic code. Biophys 19:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep. I have updated the article to clarify it, and have deleted some parts. The article provides a much more realistic evolutionary perspective of the genetic code than can be found in the genetic code article. It provides an approach with tons of insightful and important information that cannot be found on any other Knowledge article. This is important for progress in the field and for expanding the horizons of those curious enough to delve into the subject. Somewhere we have to address the variations to the standard genetic code and the emergence of new amino acids - the 21st and 22nd, and up to 30 more now. I felt that this was the place to do it. Valich 20:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

~~Merge~~Delete The Universal genetic code page is the work of a sole author, one whose talk page is a bit worrying. I see concerns raised that he doesn't realize when he's citing an Intelligent Design source , uses citations that don't say what his text implies they do . I'm a pretty mainstream biologist, and statements such as "... we have no idea what lies before us in evolutionary time and space. You cannot label something as being "universal" if it only exists on one planet, and the evidence for it being as such only exists here" make me do a double-take. I think the material in the Universal genetic code page needs to be vetted by other editors familiar with the topic. It is currently insulated by being in an independent article. The subject matter in Universal genetic code belongs in Genetic code. The salvageable material can probably fit easily into Genetic code#Variations to the Standard Genetic Code without disrupting that article too much. Pete.Hurd 06:05, 23 April 2007 (UTC) Changed from "merge" to "delete" on basis of more recent comments by nominator et alia above. Pete.Hurd 05:22, 26 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete I do not think that the article as it is should be kept due to already mentioned issues. If this is to be kept not only a new title is necessary (I wouldn't name it evolution of the genetic code as it also implies the evolution to the standard genetic code, whereas this article mainly deals with variations from the standard one), but one would also have to prune everyhing unnecessary elements, which, in my opinion, would not leave much. For an article dealing within the field of natural sciences it has to be more concise and not swarming with quotes and half quotes from abstracts of the cited articles. Honestly, I believe that it is easier to create an article on this topic de novo rather than try to disentangle the given article.CharonZ 16:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

An experienced and meticulous editor should come through UGC and make sure that any significant additions and improvements that can be made to Genetic Code from UGC will be done.

WiiAlbanyGirl 02:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete I agree with madeleine's WP:OR complaint. The article is long and contains references, yes, but it's not clear that all the references are appropriate (see talk page, for instance), and length is no measure of quality or information content. In addition, the article IS arguing a POV, that deviations from the standard genetic code are somehow "significant" and constitute radical departures from the universal genetic code. This does not represent the view of anyone in the biological community, as far as I know - departures are oddities, hacks, and slight modifications, nothing more. Previous insertions into the article suggest that this argument has been advanced by the likes of Jonathan Wells, whose viewpoints are extreme fringe views, and who was quoted approvingly by User:Valich, which makes me leery of the author's motivations, as well.

Laz Rojas

Fails to meet WP:BIO, I think. Laz is somewhat well-known in the DOOM community for his various WolfenDOOM level packs (so he'd probably be notable enough to have an entry in the DOOM wiki on Wikia, for example), but that certainly isn't enough for a Knowledge article, and I don't know if he's otherwise notable. That being said, I'm not 100% sure he isn't - maybe it's just me who's never heard of him -, so I'm listing his entry here. Schneelocke 15:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Nancy Beard

As per a discussion on Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Ice_Hockey it is felt that just because a persons name is inscribed on the Stanley Cup (NHL championship trophy) they do not warrant their own article unless they were an actual player on the team. This particular person was a secretary for the team. I feel this does not make her notable enough to be on wikipedia as his own article, and instead intend to create a list of the people on the trophy that were "staff" members on the winning teams to cover their inclusion in wikipedia.

Call for help

Nominated for deletion in Aug 2005. Last Afd. (Wasn't sure how to do this, if I jacked it up someone please fix, sorry). Knowledge is not a collection of indiscriminate information, this article is a how to and little else. All of the important information is redundant and what isn't can be merged with the appropriate article (as was suggested the first time around). On top of this there are no references (its factual accuracy is disputed), the radio section is almost entirely OR, I would say. All of this and not a comment on the talk page since November 2005.

Comment "Poorism" may be a neologism, but Poorism is not an article about a neologism. It's an article about a type of tourism that at least two reliable sources, cited in the article, discuss. Both sources even call this type of tourism "poorism," which may help justify this particular Knowledge pagename. Pan Dan 16:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep - may be a neologism, but the article's about the phenomenon, not the neologism. The term is used by a number of sources ranging from the "Observer" to the Smithsonian. And don't know where the nom gets "very few Ghits" from, I get 15,000. As per Pan Dan, this seems to be the term in general use for this phenomenon so this is probably the correct page title (although possibly Poverty tourism would be more appropriate with this as a redirect) - iridescenti (talk to me!) 17:33, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Google scholar has a couple of references to this being used, especially when describing singing. The references don't seem to be published, though. I'm thinking that "Primal sounds" meaning human noises of some sort is a neologism, but it seems distinct from onomatopoeia, for what its worth. Either way, redirecting to onomatopoeia seems better than delete to me, because this could be a valid search term. Smmurphy 17:15, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

I have added some additional information. My research indicates primal sound differs significantly from onomatopoeia. Please check out my edit. If you feel I am all wet - chuck it. But primal sounds do exist and are used today, principally in chants. These chants credit "primal sound" as part of their basis for legitimacy. Lynnbr2 4/20/07.

The Third Testament

also:

From the very first paragraph, it is obvious that the purpose of this article is to push a POV, not to explain or introduce the reader to an arcane topic: "The purpose of The Third Testament is to provide the intellectual and logical basis for neighbourly love being the very highest goal in life and the way to a personal experience of the eternal Godhead." The article is so heavily-weighted toward pushing its spiritual message, I fail to see how it can be edited into something encyclopaedic. I recommend deletion, and then perhaps something more closely resembling an article can be written by someone who does not have a stake in the subject. Charles 16:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

- Comment. I'm not quite certain I understand what you are saying. The mere claim that "there are plenty of people who believe this stuff" does not seem enough to justify keeping an article the claims of which are unprovable and which serves only to push a POV. If Martinus can be rescued, and made into an NPOV article about a man who developed an eccentric philosophy, that is fine. As it stands, it is certainly not acceptable. ---Charles 17:35, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Professional Information Security Association

Speedy deleted by me as an article about an organisation that made no assertion of notability. Article's creator, who is connected to the subject of the article has argued that they are notable, have advised government agencies and points the following Google search . As I am not linguistically capable of evaluating those ghits, I am listing the article for deletion so that we can have wider community input on the matter. I remain minded that this organisation does not meet our notability standards but make no opinion pending an evaluation of those ghits. WjBscribe 16:50, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Mailcpathetsang 01:09, 23 April 2007

Delete The first search is invalid because it doesn't use quotes, merely searching for pisa+professional+independent+security+association. This means that even inside the first 50 GHIts, the search is picking up irrelevant hits from combinations of those words. A more correct search, for PISA+"Professional Information Security Association" reveals just 179 unique hits . Given this, the fact that no notability is claimed, and the complete lack of sources, I have to go with a delete, though I'm quite prepared to be proved wrong. EliminatorJR 18:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Not to Delete User EliminatorJR's discusion on "correct search" is not the most correct because the acronym is included in the search. A better search should be performed using English and Chinese.

Nonetheless thanks to EliminatorJR for pointing out other forms of search under Googles which reveals a more realistic results. Mailcpathetsang 11:28 pm 2007/4/24

Speedy Delete. It is the responsibility of the editors of an article to assert notability. This article makes no attempt to assert any kind of notability. This article is nothing more than spam for this association. The assertion that some number of g-hits makes something notable is not true. In any case, 180 hits supports a finding that this group is not notable. Vegaswikian 21:39, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
~~Not to Delete~~ Vegaswikian's reasoning ignored the definition of notability, which is "A topic is generally notable if it has been the subject of coverage that is independent of the subject, reliable, and attributable. The depth of coverage and quality of sources must be considered in determining the number of sources required and whether the coverage establishes notability." "Subjective evaluations are not relevant for determining whether a topic warrants inclusion in Knowledge. Notability criteria do not equate to personal or biased considerations, such as: "never heard of this", "an interesting article", "topic deserves attention", "not famous enough", "very important issue", "popular", "I like it", "only of interest to ", etc." It is believed that Vegaswikian has other non-bias consideration for a speedy delete rather than a normal delete. It is appreciated that Vegaswikian could further prove this thought process on a logical basis. Mailcpathetsang 1:31 2007/04/25
~~Not to Delete~~ Vegaswikian's reasoning on spam is another example of labeling without justification. Knowledge has its own definition, namely "There are three types of wikispam: advertisements masquerading as articles, wide-scale external link spamming, and "Wikipedian-on-Wikipedian" spamming or, "canvassing" (also known as "internal spamming" and "cross-posting"). Articles considered advertisements include those that are solicitations for a business, product or service, or are public relations pieces designed to promote a company or individual. Wikispam articles are usually noted for sales-oriented language and external links to a commercial website. However, a differentiation should be made between spam articles and legitimate articles about commercial entities." Neither the tone nor its content exhibits a tone of advertisements, not to mention a solicitation for a business (PISA is non-profit and has no business profit objective), sales-oriented (Vegaswikian fails to show any sales so far). In other words, Vegaswikian fails to show why a well-cited page (see above, 2,050 independent source) would still need further self-promotion of any sort. Lastly, PISA is an organization anti-spam, and its opinion has been submitted to an Office. Mailcpathetsang 1:31 2007/04/25
~~Not to Delete~~ Again Vegaswikian's reasoning fails to update the latest link with more than 2000 articles showing up in google.com search. Referring to yahoo.com's site , Vegaswikian is welcome to enquire why yahoo.com would list PISA together with other information security organizations. Mailcpathetsang 1:31 2007/04/25
~~Not to Delete~~ Under these observations it is proposed that virtually all Vegaswikian's propositions listed here are merely hearsay and much are advised laid on grounds without facts and supports, and possibly ad hominem. Mailcpathetsang 1:31 2007/04/25

Narcolasticism

Triclavianism

Not notable. The article consists of a definition of Triclavianism, the assertion that the number of nails used to crucify Jesus has been debated for centuries (but not that this debate is of any great importance, or that the belief in three was ever popular or significant), and also a long quotation from a single book that itself only established that some people believed this, but does not say why this should be significant. The Storm Surfer 19:14, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Notable. The quotation does a good job of explaining why the matter was debated, and why it is important. As the quotation indicates, St. Francis of Assisi, a major figure in the history of the Catholic Church and an ally of Pope Innocent III, had stigmata from four nails. Innocent's enemies wanted to discredit St. Francis, and did so in part by promoting Triclavianism. Although the article doesn't mention it, there is also an art history angle to this. Over the centuries artists portraying the Crucifixion have gradually changed from using two to three and now four nails. Thus the fact that a religious painting uses a triclavianist (as opposed to biclavianist or quadriclavianist) depiction gives a valuable clue to when it was painted. Andrel 21:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete, my primary rational is based on what i've already noted on the article talk page, in summary, the author of the quotation in the article appears to be the only highly notable source that is verifiable who uses this term, the Catholic Encyclopedia external link doesn't use the word, the google search offered on the talk page isn't for the same word, the only other halfway notable sources i've seen for this term are a parody website and Stormfront.org, and because this single author being quoted appears to be the only really notable person who uses the term, I think this article fails the spirit of WP:NEO, while one notable and verifiable source seems to use the term, that person seems to be pretty much the end of it. Homestarmy 23:45, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

The Oxford English Dictionary (OED) has an entry on triclavianism. It is a real word, albeit obscure. Furthermore, as demonstrated by the websites you cite, the word is still in modern use. Andrel 13:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ah, but Knowledge is not a dictionary, and the websites I cite were cited by myself because they are not very notable websites in and of themselves for this topic. (And because they seemed to be basically the only two) Homestarmy 14:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Whether or not the websites themselves are notable is a red herring. There are many technical terms in Knowledge which one would be hard-pressed to find on any "notable" websites. --joXn 20:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Whether or not the websites themselves are notable is not a red herring. (See how easy and fun it is to make blanket accusations about people's comments? :D ) Technical terms on Knowledge that do not have notability to them should be deleted, their existance simply means the process is not 100 percent effective at deleting 100 percent of deletable articles 100 percent of the time. Even if they do have notability, if they are just dictionary definitions, they certainly fail WP:NOT a dictionary, no matter how notable they are, and should be transcluded to Wiktionary. Homestarmy 00:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Also, the argument that "Knowledge is not a dictionary" seems a little specious. The point is that the word is notable enough to have made it into the premier English-language historical dictionary. Granted, the purpose of an encyclopedia is a more thorough explanation of a concept than a mere dictionary entry, and granted, this article does not yet have such an explanation, nevertheless there is more to the concept than the mere definitional "The belief that Christ was crucified with only three nails". As mentioned below, this means only that the article is currently a stub. --joXn 20:31, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, Andrel's initial counter-argument consisted entirely of "It's in a dictionary, it must be notable enough to keep on Knowledge.", and going on that alone, I saw little recourse but to mention WP:NOT a dictionary. I already gave my hand at looking for more on this topic to expand the article with and came up with what I wrote on the talk page, and as far as I know, there is nothing more notable to this concept than a single author's mention of the word. Homestarmy 00:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

keep Both the iconological and the theological aspects are of historic importance; that these questions may not seem to be of much importance to some of us now is just an indicator of presentism. DGG 04:56, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
keep The article could be more expansive on the theological and art-historical applicability of the concept of "triclavianism", but that just means that it is a stub. The concept itself is interesting and of historical importance. --joXn 20:23, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- This may seem like just being silly, but now I feel compelled to call your attention to WP:INTERESTING, though of course if the term's historical importance could be demonstrated, (One long quote from but a single historian and no sources which could be trusted much on history doesn't seem very important to me) then the article should indeed probably be kept. Homestarmy 00:23, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

The result was speedy keep. I see that this article is subject to content disputes, which might better be addressed by the mediation cabal. Non-admin closure. YechielMan 01:14, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

72 Virgins

The article uses primary sources that is Quran, and Hadith to make a point. Even if sources could be found it is not evident to me that this subject even needs an article. In case we think that subject is encyclopedic then he could recreate article with secondary sources later. Current POV filled unsource, disputed article should be deleted. ALM 19:15, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep While it is mainly primary sources, it seems there are a couple secondary sources whch are reliable. An encyclopediac article could come out of it with time. The topic is clearly encyclopediac and notable. Consitering the article is less than a month old, I think we should give it some more time to develop.--Sefringle 20:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep, possibly reverting to this version which seems the last not tainted by edit-warring. I don't see a problem with citing primary sources in this context, since all the article is using them for is "this is what the Quran says and here is the chapter & verse", rather than attempting an OR analysis of them. Even if it's not really what Muslims believe etc etc the fact that some people think they do and why is what this article's about (in the same way that we have an article on Well poisoning) - iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:23, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Strong speedy Keep: This is another attempt to censor information. "72 virgins" is a very notable term in the media. Everyone knows about the term (200,000 hits in Google). Infact if you were to ask anyone on the street some of the things they know about Islam or found interesting to hear about, one of the things they would probably say is "whats up with the 72 virgins thing?" If you have concerns about OR, you should discuss that on the articles page. And as people said, its ok to use primary sources. The fact is that after I introduced the sourced statement that Quran mentions "women with big breasts", this article has become an issue. It was untouched before. Facts are facts, sorry. People want to know about the 72 virgins and we should improve this article instead of trying to brush the subject under the carpet. Unsourced? POV? I dont think so. Why dont you take these claims up on the Talk page of the article instead of just getting deleted. Now we'll see huge edit wars going on in this little article after this AfD fails. AfD'ing it was "lets just try to get it deleted first". As we can see now, doing things like this only causes more focus on the article so its good in a way. --Matt57 20:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Max Karson

Yet another bio related to the Virginia Tech massacre. This article is about a student from Colorado who got arrested after allegedly mouthing off in class that he "would be capable of killing 32 people" following with "if anyone in here says they've never been so angry that you wanted to kill 32 people, you're lying." While interesting, we don't need an encyclopedia article about every kid that's ever shot their mouth off in class. BigDT (416) 19:27, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete The notability of this subject is so marginal as to border on a case of briefly-compromised anonymity. I support the call for deletion as per WP:N.--Dynaflow 19:37, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete I greatly sympathize with all of the victims and families of this shameful incident, but Knowledge is not a memorial. --Ali 19:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Actually, this person is not even a victim. He's just some college student who got suspended for saying something grossly impolitic about the VT shooting. His primary involvement, and indeed his secondary involvement, in anything of remote significance is approximately nil.--Dynaflow 19:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Yeah ... I was just about to say that. I'm sorry if my nomination made it sound like this was a victim - this is about a student from Colorado. I have reworded the nomination to make that clear. --BigDT (416) 19:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Woah, woah, woah. Did you read the entire article? E.g. the parts the come before his arrest for making inappropriate comments in class? The controversy over his newspaper was big news in Boulder for a long time. Moreover, see WP:NOTE, Notability is NOT SUBJECTIVE. If someone becomes notable for whatever reason, they are still notable. -- Craigtalbert 20:08, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep This is not just another "Virginia Tech massacre bio" though I'll agree it is the largest part of the article. But the subject has been written about in reliable sources before over The Yeti and The Crux. This meets the criteria in WP:NOTE. Is substantial as the source material covers the topic in sufficient detail, there are multiple sources, source material is credible and reliable. There's much more than what I cited in the article, see google news archive results. It took me six hours to do the research and writing for the article and I'll be very angry if you axe all of it for excessively emotional reasons. I wouldn't have written it if it didn't meet notability requirements. -- Craigtalbert 19:54, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

We will similarly try to not factor in your apparent stong emotions about the article. As for the Google test: In some cases, articles have been kept with Google hit counts as low as 15 and some claim that this undermines the validity of the Google test in its entirety. The Google test has always been and very likely always will remain an extremely inconsistent tool, which does not measure notability. It is not and should never be considered definitive.--Dynaflow 20:05, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

What do you mean, my "apparent strong emotions" about the article? If you spent as much time on a wikipedia article, on a topic that is more than notable, and it got axed because of other editors proprietary emotions on the topic, wouldn't that make you a little upset? Don't talk down to me. The article meets all the requirements in WP:NOTE, the google test isn't perfect but in this case it is further evidence in it's favor. You haven't produced a shred of evidence against it's notability except your own judgment. Yes, that makes me angry, and it's wrong. -- Craigtalbert 20:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I was referencing this statement: "I'll be very angry if you axe all of it for excessively emotional reasons." Neither anger nor excessive emotions should come into play here. Your personal investment of time has nothing to do with whether an article is notable or not. We want to be objective here.--Dynaflow 20:21, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

That's true, they shouldn't be apparently they are -- on both sides. So, let's get back to the basics of notability. If you don't trust google news archive, then do the search on highbeam or lexis-nexis a la carte. Reliable sources are reliable sources. Multiple sources are multiple sources. You still haven't produced a shred of evidence otherwise. You don't get to ignore WP:NOTE, or pretend it say something it doesn't, just because it doesn't support your point of view. -- Craigtalbert 20:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

My main objection is that this is pure recentism and its already low significance will most likely fade even more over time. The article also suffers from a local myopia. If the article could be rewritten in such a fashion that the lasting significance of this person in a context meaningful to users of Knowledge is made clear, I wouldn't object to it. the problem is, I can see no way that can be accomplished. Voltaire couldn't make this guy seem significant beyond Boulder, and perhaps not even in it.--Dynaflow 20:47, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I hadn't read WP:RECENT before, and I agree according to the definitions in the essay, this article does have a lot of "recentism." But, as the essay points out, WP:RECENT is not a guideline, and is not sufficient reason to delete an article. Maybe Max Karson is significant outside of Boulder, but there is nothing in the notability requirements about that. I don't know why you're pointing out things that aren't guidelines and even if they were aren't sufficient reason for deletion in AfD nomination discussion. Maybe you can explain that to me? -- Craigtalbert 21:03, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

My main objection is the recentism; my criteria for judging whether the article suffers from a recentism bias is WP:N, and specifically WP:BIO.--Dynaflow 21:26, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Well, maybe you understand WP:BIO and WP:NOTE better than I do. I've been editing wikipedia for awhile now, and I feel like I have a pretty good grasp on them, and like I said, if the article didn't meet the requirements in both of them I wouldn't have wasted the better part of a day on it, and a few hours on it now. So, could you kindly point out the contradictions between this article and WP:BIO and WP:NOTE so I don't make the same mistake again? -- Craigtalbert 21:42, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Strong delete this is ridiculous. If we had an entry on every schoolkid who got in trouble for acting like an idiot, we'd be up to ten billion pages by now. "The Yeti & Crux controversy" are nothing of the sort, they're a minor spat about a kid getting in trouble at school with no significant coverage - those "references" are to the schools website and the student law centre (and incidentally, are dated in the future). The only part of this whole saga with any non-trivial coverage is the Virginia Tech bit, and I'll bet nobody except his family and his principal even remember the story now three days later. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 20:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

WHAT? The controversy over The Yeti was covered in The Rocky Mountain News (three times), The Colorado Daily, The Westword, The Daily Camera and Salon.com. Now, maybe you don't know how to use wikipedia real well, but each of those newspapers have wikipedia articles, and you'll notice that none of them are "references to school websites." -- Craigtalbert 20:46, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Correction then - the references are to the school's own website, the student law centre, a local paper, two local freesheets and a website who's lead stories today are "I like to watch The Apprentice" and "The best wet-battered fried chicken in New Orleans". I can provide far better sources for a story about a man who has sex with goats or a bird being eaten by another bird; that doesn't mean I think they pass WP:N. Show me a single piece of evidence that anyone outside Boulder has ever cared about this kid - or that anyone in Boulder is still talking about this now, three days later - and I'll reconsider. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 21:02, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

You mean the pigeoniverous pelican doesn't have its own Knowledge article? That story was absolutely HUGE after DrudgeReport ran it on a slow news day.--Dynaflow 21:19, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm not sure what argument you're trying to make. The Rocky Mountain News and the Westword are published state-wide. Unless you're trying to say newspapers in Colorado don't count or something like that? If a newspaper ever writes an article about something that isn't of the utmost importance to the state of the world that it doesn't matter? Maybe you can explain to me what you're getting at. To address your second point, he was publishing the The Crux in Amherst, which seems to be significant enough to show that people outside of Boulder "cared" about him. If that's not, then if you do a Google News Search on "Max Karson" you'll see his story has been published by the Boston Herald, Daily Hampshire Gazette, First Amendment Center, KVUE, The Jawa Report , St. Petersburg Times, WDBJ, The Seattle Times, Inside Higher Ed, Milwaukee Journal Sentinel and Cybercast News Service. So, it seems pretty clear to me people care about him outside of Boulder. Can I prove that people in Boulder are still talking about this three days later? I'm not sure how I would do that. If you give me your telephone phone number maybe I can have some people I know in Boulder call you. I can tell you there are plenty of people talking about it on the CU Boulder campus. How else would you expect me to go about this? -- Craigtalbert 21:38, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

For a similar debate on a not-quite-unrelated subject that covers many of the same points as this discussion, see Knowledge:Articles for deletion/Sun-Kyung Cho , which started, with discussion that is also germane forthis AfD, here: Talk:Sun-Kyung Cho.

In this case this is either whole thing is either a complete waste of my time, or I'm correct in believing that editors are trying to have this article deleted for their own proprietary reasons. Not only have I wasted close to eight hours now on the research, writing, and subsequent debate on the topic, the people disagreeing with me claim to know more about wikipedia guidelines than I do, and won't explain where I'm wrong (if I am). I've made my point, no one has pointed out anything from the guidelines showing this article isn't right by WP:NOTE and WP:BIO. If your motivations for wanting this article deleted can be explained in terms of wikipedia guidelines, I would appreciate a quick write-up about them in my talk page. Finals are coming up and I'm not going to waste any more of my time on this debate. -- Craigtalbert 22:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

I don't mean to pry, but do you personally know the subject of this article?--Dynaflow 21:52, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

No. I am a CU Boulder student, but I've never met him. When discussing his recent arrest with other students, staff, and faculty, it seemed that no one (including me) knew the facts of leading up to and surrounding it real well. So, I decided I'd do the leg work and condense the relevant information in to a wikipedia article, as it more than met the guidelines for one. -- Craigtalbert 22:17, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

So, it wasn't all that notable on campus, from what you're saying. 132.205.44.134 15:34, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

I'm afraid I don't see how that is relevant. Our decision whether to keep or delete this article is not based on whether the individual is known about on campus, it is based on the Knowledge notability criteria. Adambro 16:10, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Speedy Delete seems like the whole article is here just to promote the guy. I mean, do you know how many nutjobs shoot off their mouths and create a whole fury about it being a "free speech issue", especially at college campuses? Do you know how many people, especially at colleges, "publish" their own "underground newspapers"? What's the circulation of those "publications"? I don't see anything particularly notable about this person or any of the so-called publications he created. Tejastheory 00:16, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: No, I have no idea how many "nutjobs" "shoot of their mouths" and "publish" "undergroun newspapers." I don't know that you do either, and since the significant of this article is related to that, you shouldn't pose that question rhetorically. At least this "nutjob" seems to have a lot of people supporting him (see: technorati stats, and blogpuse stats). Moreover, the criteria for inclusion in wikipedia has nothing to do with your opinion's about the topic of the article, and everything to do with WP:NOTE and WP:BIO (which this passes). -- Craigtalbert 00:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete per above arguments. --Oreo Priest 01:41, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep first of all, notable nutjobs are notable, and much of the news and their interest and present day notability of people could be seen as falling into that general category. Major national newspapers report what is notable to their readers. In borderline cases we can inquire whether it is or is not a major story, but this is not a borderline case. I am not sure of the reason for the attempt to remove the articles about individuals involved in these events. My instinct was strongly in the other direction, and I do not think of myself as particularly sentimental. Are we trying to prove the high quality of WP by rejecting anything that might be considered sensationalism? Frankly, that is hopeless, WP is a representative of the common components of our culture, whatever they may be. DGG 05:09, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Strong Keep I teach at a university on the other side of the country from Boulder. Since this story broke I've googled Karson's name every day to find out the latest. In addition to this case's obvious relevance to the (1) First Amendment, the Karson fiasco has wider implications regarding (2) the potential abuse of power by college administrators, and (3) academic freedom, which some might argue includes the right for students to question normative opinions. After the shootings, most instructors initially encouraged honesty and openness in classroom discussions about Virginia Tech. The classroom was a "safe space" where no single opinion/emotion was privileged as "right" or denounced as "wrong." For many of us, the freedom to speak openly about our emotions was an important component to the healing process. Nobody went so far as to support the killer; but some empathized with his pain and loneliness; others said they'd decided to be more sensitive in the future toward social outcasts like Cho Seung-Hui. The tone completely changed, however, when Karson was arrested. Not wanting to be the next arrest victim, students and professors reverted obediently to reiterating the politically correct, "Fuck Cho Seung-Hui" attitude. Karson's situation opens the book on a whole new set of questions: Can professors still allow critical thought? Are all ideas equal, or are some more equal than others? Should we encourage dissent, or should we fear its consequences? In the post-911 era of surveillance and zero tolerance, how can we protect the Max Karson's of the world from being too radical, or from simply saying the wrong thing at the wrong time? These are important issues, and I can assure you people are talking about them a thousand miles from Boulder. That said, I do advocate making some major changes to the article. The only thing newsworthy about Karson is his arrest following the Va Tech massacres. We don't need to know where he went to high school, or the nature of his pissing contests there. We don't even need to know about 'The Yeti' except for its suggested connection to his being arrested. Obviously, more needs to be added to the article as the story develops. I could see the Karson case going all the way to the Supreme Court, but I could also see it fizzling out in 2 weeks. Let's keep the article concise until we know the case's outcome, at which point expand it we can revisit deletion.M. Frederick 10:30, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Comment. It's fine that you're interested in the case, your just because you're interested does not make the subject notable. It's also fine that you think the case may one day go to the Supreme Court but understand that Knowledge is not a crystal ball. If and when the case goes to the Supreme Court, we can revisit adding an article for Mr. Karson and/or the Supreme Court case. --Crunch 00:11, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Not long-term notable, minor appearance in media related to a major event does not qualify. Perhaps reduce to one or two sentences in the "response" section of Virginia Tech shootings. Sad mouse 23:48, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: I don't see any of these requirements mentioned in WP:NOTE or WP:BIO. Perhaps I'm missing them and you could point them out to me? -- Craigtalbert 00:06, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

We went over this for every victim, some people wanted each to have their own page, but since their notability is restricted to the event, that is a more appropriate place. Likewise, while this guy is semi-notable, really it is just the event he is associated with that is notable. Sad mouse 00:38, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Again. Karson meets the requirements in WP:NOTE, and WP:BIO — he is not semi-notable, he is notable according to those guidelines. I have not see anyone cite a wikipedia policy that says otherwise. Unlike the victims of VTM, it does not contradict other wikipedia official policies such as WP:MEMORIAL. Creating a wikipedia page for this guy doesn't mean that "we" are some how saying he's "good." All I've tired to do with this article is get people the facts about a notable person in a controversial situation. If you think there's POV, or would like to trim the article down, those are all good discussions to have — and I would appreciate the help and collaboration. But policies are policies and guidelines are guidelines. -- Craigtalbert 04:31, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

He possibly meets the requirements (which is what I mean by semi-notable) - the only criteria which he could meet is that of multiple independent media reports, he fails all other criteria (which is fine, you only need to meet one criteria). My concern is that the subject of the media reports is actually the Virginia Tech shootings and not Karson. Using the example of the many victims who made the media multiple times because of the shooting, we decided that the subject of those media reports was the shooting and the victim was not the subject, so only those with external notability (eg the academics) kept their own article. So my position is to delete unless there are multiple non-trivial independent reports about Karson that do not involve the shooting. As a side note, I think you would be better off treating this discussion less personally, it certainly does not mean that your work is not appreciated. Sad mouse 20:58, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

With due respect, those who continue comparing Karson's newsworthiness to that of the VT victims appear to be unfamiliar with the recent debates surrounding academic freedom. Academic freedom is defined as "the freedom of teachers, students, and academic institutions to pursue knowledge wherever it may lead, without undue or unreasonable interference." The Karson case marks a rare instance in which a student was arrested for comments made in a classroom. These developments have implications for the First Amendment, and for whether or not freedom of speech in the United States applies to educational settings. My point is that Karson's arrest represents more than simply a subplot to the VT massacres and is relevant irrespective of the subject of his rants. It seems that many folks from the "Strong Delete" camp are wary of rewarding Karson's apparent cry for attention with further publicity. I understand and share these concerns, and will join in voicing them on the discussion page. M. Frederick 04:42, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Yes, his case was mentioned in his local Colorado newspaper. This does not mean he passes WP:NOTE. Does everyone mentioned in every issue of last week's Rocky Mountain News get an article here? No. Being kicked out of school for being disruptive is hardly notable, even in the context of the Virginia Tech massacre. --Crunch 00:00, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Yes, he was mentioned in the Rocky Mountain News, which is a "local" paper, though it is also distributed in Wyoming, and some other surrounding states, from what I've heard. But, you're right, if it wasn't for the 100+ other sources he's been mentioned in, that wouldn't be enough to pass WP:NOTE. -- Craigtalbert 01:32, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Did you notice that almost all of your "100+ other sources" are from papers near his college in Colorado or from his hometown in Amherst, Massachusetts? This is recentism and localism being confused for significant notability. --Crunch 10:41, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment Are there wikipedia guidelines on localism? I looked and couldn't find any. WP:RECENT hasn't changed since I last read it — it's not a guideline, and if it was, it's not a sufficient argument for deletion. I would expect that there would be more media coverage in Colorado and Massachusetts for the reasons you gave. Either way, still passes WP:NOTE, WP:BIO. -- Craigtalbert 00:48, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep per Ronnotel. This topic meet our standards. --Oakshade 16:09, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Subject meets and exceeds WP:BIO standards and upholds WP:A quite well. Burntsauce 17:14, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep. The worst part about the article, as it stands, is the way it is written. As Burntsauce notes, it more than meets biographical and attributive criteria. In addition to the VaTech controversy, Karson recently outed neo-Nazi Josh McNair. Given that he has been featured by both the Anti-Defamation League and the Drudgereport for his exploits, Karson's Venn Diagram is more than can be said for most of what qualifies as "notable" on this delicious slice of brutal populism we call Knowledge.

Strong delete' He is not an academic, he's an undergraduate who has apparently just received his BA degree. The nearest he;s gotten to be a scholar is to have taken a class with one/ Of the three references given, one is the general site for his college, and two are the student newspaper reports of a student variety show and a performance. He claims he's notable, so i don't want to call it a Speedy, but it's impossible to give the claim any credence. Zero published works--I can find no hits for his claimed book..

Takeover Radio

This article concerns a local radio station in the UK, or a "Community Licensed Radio Station". The station appears to broadcast children-produced content. The article includes a complete programming schedule, and now several of the "DJs" from the station are beginning to write articles on themselves. I'm uncertain how significant this station is in the UK, and hope to solicit input from native contributors. Clearly, the article needs cleanup; until verfication of its notability exists, Delete'.

Speedy Delete This person has exactly zero notability. As per the debates over the professor articles, I think a clear consensus has been reached over those that simply being a victim of the event is not nearly enough to be "notable". Rather, all of those are kept or delete according to their notability in academic or research terms. As a student, I don't think any serious academic notability will ever be found, and simply being a victim is not enough. Tejastheory 00:25, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The mistakes were the previous AfD's. Consensus changes. Sometimes it 'changes' solely based on who decided to show at AFD or which admin cleaned up the backlog.

Comment - Alternatively, if someone felt like taking the time to organize and collect the information, perhaps it could be changed into: "List of cities in the Middle east ordered by GDP" or "List of cities in the Middle East ordered by development investments" etc. --R e m i 02:03, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Nicky Nielsen

Somewhat related to above AfD on Dambaek entertainment. I am unable to find anything indicating that this person meets WP:BIO. Assertion of notability may be sufficiently lacking (a few vague statements, including "Mr. Nielsen's research... not been published"... making at least half of this article violate WP:V) to warrant a CSD A7, but brought here in case anyone can find anything, and to avoid the appearance of systemic bias. Delete barring any sourcing from WP:RS that indicates this person meets any notability threshold. Kinu /_c 23:34, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete non-notable individual; should have been speedied --Mhking 00:42, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Would the links at the bottom not help you chaps further and finding out about the notariety of nicky Nielsen in denmark?

Delete Cant be speedied if it asserts notability and claims published work; can be deleted here, because none of the work is published in reliable sources.DGG 05:32, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Imperialism effects on english language

Right now this article provides no useful information. " English language has gradually evolved"... no, duh? Examples? Additionally, the page name itself is too awkward to be used for a future article. Delete. Guy Fuchsia 23:30, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete. Legitimate encyclopedic topic, but this article contains no useful content, and the title is too oddly worded and capitalised to be worth redirecting to anything. EALacey 12:04, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Ouse District High School

Stub regarding non-notable central school, see discussion at Albuera Street Primary AFD Ga rr ie 23:48, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete per discussion referened above.Ga rr ie 23:51, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
~~Weak delete~~ This may be salvagable by an editor with better access to sources but in its current state it doesn't state much more than the school's existence. Is it worth redirecting to the List of schools in Tasmania article? I would support allowing re-creation when better sources establishing notability are found. --Mattinbgn/ 00:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Neutral pending expansion in the next few days.--Mattinbgn/ 04:40, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep Unwritten Knowledge policy seems to be that articles about high schools are noteworthy and should be kept. This high school is no different from the hundreds of others in Knowledge; the difference is that this one has only minimal information. I suggest the Knowledge community help expand the information in this article to include more significant and noteworthy information. Truthanado 00:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment This is a central school (Kindergarten - Yr 10), not a "real" high school. I suggest there is one class each for K-6, most of them are probably combined classes - otherwise it would have split into two schools by now.Ga rr ie 06:44, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Strong Keep As Truthanado said, high schools are generally notable, primary schools generally aren't. I'll update this in the next couple of days. -- Chuq (talk) 03:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
deleteEven by those standards, this one provides no information and no sources, and should be among the candidates for the few which aren't notable. . I'm somewhat of an inclusionist, and will tolerate an apparently informative article that can be sourced, or a well sourced article about something unimportant. But an unsourced article saying only the trivial is beyond my limits on any subject.DGG
Delete Note that a DHS is not a high school, it is effectively a country primary school which extends to Year 10. We were thinking of writing one for a DHS in WA but elected not to as we couldn't find any independent sources for anything other than its existence. Should merit a few lines under Ouse, Tasmania. Orderinchaos 06:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Merge and redirect to ~~Tasmania~~ Ouse, Tasmania per WP:LOCAL. If significant changes are made to this article, such that it is expanded with multiple reliable sources I may change my position. Burntsauce 17:08, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
- Comment Could you please explain how you would merge content for a single central school into an article about a state of Australia? Merge to Ouse, Tasmania I could understand. But how does one merge an unreferenced stub about a school into an article regarding a state?Garrie 23:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
  - Sorry I meant Ouse, Tasmania and have gone back to correct my comment. Burntsauce 23:47, 25 April 2007 (UTC)

Kurdish Knowledge

Non-notable article. "Merge" anything useful (not available with ku:Special:Statistics (which isn't even fully translated)) to Knowledge. -- Cat 23:53, 22 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep. Articles on Wikipedias in other languages are quite helpful for the Knowledge community. --Ali 23:56, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Then move it to meta. "Knowledge community needs it" is not an acceptable inclusion criteria. -- Cat 23:57, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Delete, non notable website. Wikipedias are not automatically notable. Picaroon 23:59, 22 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep per m:Eventualism this article has good potential even if it is not asserting notability now. Wikipedias do not automatically meet WP:N but given the specific situation of kurdish and the Kurdish people, their language version is pretty special - if small... Witty lama 01:06, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
So... you oppose deleting articles that don't meet our inclusion criteria, on the chance that they'll be better some day? Picaroon 01:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
If and when it becomes notable, it can be recreated. AfD isnt a deletion sanction. We are discussing the subjects current state. By the way, this is a proposal to delete "Kurdish Knowledge" article, not the actual "Kurdish Knowledge" itself. -- Cat 01:20, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep I do oppose deleting articles about topics that are on their way to notability. If it propves not to be notable, then is the time to remove it. DGG 05:37, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
How do you know it's on its way to notability? Picaroon 21:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep and set up some kind of policy for listing all the various language Wikipedias. Maybe that'll stop these borderline disruptive nominations. FrozenPurpleCube 05:55, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Maybe we should set up a policy for deleting non-notable websites - oh yeah, we have one. Picaroon 21:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Knowledge isn't notable? But I've heard about it in the news. Does that mean we have to delete the whole site, or just the article on it? Seriously though, documenting Knowledge is reasonable. This includes the foreign language versions. Thus I'd prefer a proposal on how to do so over these seemingly endless nominations. This is for full coverage, NPOV and because most of the foreign language versions are likely more covered in their native languages, and not English, making covering them difficult, but still important. FrozenPurpleCube 06:50, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Keep...and "isn't even fully translated" is not a reason. --Killaruna | talk 2 me! 12:52, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Oh it is. It shows how much "complete" the language edition is. -- Cat 14:15, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep meets all criteria, WP is WP:NOT paper. Yet another Kurdish article up for deletion, is anyone surprised? Carlossuarez46 19:34, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
What does the Kurdish language have to do with it? The site is non-notable, whether it's written in Kurdish, Igbo, or Pig Latin. Picaroon 21:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
Keep as a Knowledge with >5000, since we have articles on German Knowledge, Hebrew Knowledge and so forth. I'm not sure I agree that we should have these articles in mainspace, but we can discuss that later. YechielMan 21:47, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
First of all, the German Knowledge is in another class - it is notable, because it has been covered by multiple independent sources. This article is on a non-notable subject. In addition, when those articles are nominated for deletion people will say "but look! the Kurdish Knowledge was kept! Speedy close!" Picaroon 21:54, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

The result was keep. There are a lot of comments favoring a merge, but no strong consensus to do so. As merging is an editorial decision and a form of keeping the information, this debate is closed only as keep but discussion on whether to merge it or not is welcomed to continue on the article talk page.

History of Family Guy

Merge with Family Guy. Neither article is terribly unwieldly, and merging would make a substantial, comprehensive whole. Captain Infinity 20:45, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
Merge, the point of the main Family Guy article is to give an overview of the show, and should have a section on it's creation and such. Widdle down things and put back into that article. There are hundreds of shows in history far more important than family guy, and I don't see any "The History of C*H*I*P*S" articles floating around. Dannycali 22:48, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
