Minor conceptual model - no evidence of wider adoption by either the academic or C&C community. All references supplied by authors of concept. Fredrick day 11:48, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

• Wow. This is a really complete, detailed, informative, and well-formatted article. My very soul cries out at the prospect of deleting an article of this caliber. However... it does seem to based on a single paper submitted in 1999. There are many many academic papers submitted every year... I would figure that, since so much went into the writing of the article, that the article creator would have included links to second parties taking this up, if there were any such links. I can't see keeping the article. It's not quite original research, since the paper does exist. But with no shown impact, I can't see keeping the article. Herostratus 16:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete It is evident that a lot of work has been put into this article. But that doesn't mean it meets notability guidelines. Nothing in this jargon-laden article establishes its significance or notability. And there is good reason to be suspicious because it does not appear to have ever been published, much less published in a peer-reviewed journal. Rather, it was presented once at a conference, and in all fairness to the author I doubt many people have heard or taken notice of the paper. Allon Fambrizzi 00:48, 4 April 2007 (UTC)Allon Fambrizzi
• Delete, with regrets. Like the others, I believe a lot of work has gone into this article. I hate to see so much good work wasted, but the subject simply doesn't meet notability standards, and there aren't enough independent sources. Now if we could get this editor to work on some truly notable sunjects, Knowledge (XXG) would be the better for it. Realkyhick 06:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, unfortunately. I've been trying to come up with ways to salvage this article but I can't think of any. It is extremely well-written and deleting it would be a pity but I share the sentiment, that it basically doesn't meet WP:N. The best course of action, in my humble opinion, would be to notify the author and ask him to put the article somewhere more appropriate. -- Seed 2.0 13:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Note: This debate has been included in the list of Military-related deletions. -- Carom 13:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, fairly strongly. You mean that this sort of complete bollocks has infected someone's military? I blame PowerPoint, the death of literacy.

  Unlike some of the editors above, I am underwhelmed by this sort of writing. I agree that it does seem to represent a lot of work, and share the sentiment that it's a shame to delete something that effort has been invested in. But, having read through the whole thing, I feel like I know nothing that I didn't know at the beginning. It seemed platitudinous, tautological, and seeking to camouflage its emptiness with inappropriate abstractions. The only military application I could imagine for this sort of prose would be to torment unlawful combatants with, but that would be a war crime. In the end, this article really isn't about anything. - Smerdis of Tlön 14:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. Length and quality of prose do not an article make. There's a lot written here but it amounts to very little reliable information, and I have to agree with Smerdis of Tlön - after wasting the time going through this article, there's really nothing there to get worked up about. Anyway, delete for failing any number of policies, WP:NOR, WP:ATT, WP:V, take your pick. Arkyan • 15:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - Fails WP:OR.--Bryson 17:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, with regrets. Well-written article, but doesn't meet WP:N and WP:OR. Sr13 (T|C) 18:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - unrescuable and unrewritable - any genuine sources are going to be secret in any event. For I think the first time, I agree 100% with Smerdis of Tlon; 10,000 words of WP:BOLLOCKS is worse than a five line "look at me" speedy candidate. This is nothing more than someone expounding their pet theory - it all appears to have been lifted from two academic papers (what the hell kind of title is "A Dialectic for Network Centric Warfare", anyway) and the creator (User:Scholzj) is also the writer of one of the papers, so it's probably WP:OR in any case. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 19:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete As you'll see from my contributions I never vote 'delete' so this is probably my first 'delete' vote. I have no idea what the article is about therefore I can't acceot that it should stay. Xanucia 22:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep I think it's a great article, relatively well referenced, informative and well written, with it's notability shown by its academic status. Cloveoil 05:06, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Notability? He was one of a group of people that started a very small record label. He is one of three owners of a nightclub. He is listed as "road manager and producer" for notable artists... well, which was it? There's a heckuva difference between being a road manager and a producer. Absent any verification, I'd have to assume that he was the road manager, not the producer. Verifiability? All I could find was his MySpace page (which contains no mention of any of these accomplishments) and a brief mention establishing that he is, indeed, a part owner of Heaven. Nothing on his being a producer.

HOWEVER, if anyone has info that he was (1) an actual producer of an established artist and/or (2) the Steve Allen Show is highly notable and he really is a regular part of it, he might make the cut. Herostratus 13:22, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

This article is WP:SPAM advertisement for a brand of Champagne. While the parent company might qualify for notability under WP:CORP, this singular brand name does not. The edit history reveals that an anon IP apparently tied to the UK Distributor has been trying to incorporate more advertisement SPAM into various wine articles so the "Encyclopedic intent" of this article is pretty clear and in violation of WP:NOT. This particular brand is not notable for any significant contribution to the world of wine, in particular sparkling wine or Russian wine. Agne/ 00:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete or Radical stub. I can't judge the notability too easily, but certainly most of the content is not encyclopaedic/referenced. Also, there does appear to be a conflict of interest with the primary author and the topic of the article. Other self-added wine company articles have been speedied. --Limegreen 10:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Sex Panther Radio (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

College Radio Program with no clear evidence of notability. No reliable third party sources from what I can see; this is all based on primary sources and even those don't make a strong case for this meeting any guidelines. In my opinion this should be deleted. Isotope23 00:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• This radio program was detailed and mentioned in several editions of the Campus newspaper, a secondary source of information un-related to and not connected to the program itself. Stingray23464
• The organizations may be separate of each other, but the fact that both the program and newspaper are affiliated with the same university really doesn't make the source all that independent or impartial. Delete unless coverage from third-party independent sources turns up. NeoChaosX (talk, walk) 05:04, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Exactly. The fact that the campus newspaper wrote a story about a campus radio show doesn't do much to establish external notability. What I'd want to see is media sources off campus taking notice.--Isotope23 13:21, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Wavy TV Ten covered activities on campus surrounding the addition of Sexual Orientation to the University's non-discrimination policy. If you're aware of the political leanings of CNU's administration then I'm sure you know that this was a big debate and hot political topic. As such, Wavy TV ten came out to cover the activities. In the process, they interviewed many students and showcased Sex Panther Radio. The radio show was in strong support for the addition on the policy and created some controversy over the topic. -- Stingray23464

• In response to the deletion tag, another user has updated the article in question to include the Warped Tour website and information. From what I can gather, Warped tour granted the DJs access to bands normally restricted to the press and FM radio stations. If the Vans company isn't an ouside independent source then please clarify what your looking for further. -- Stingray23464

• Ok, but where is the citation that supports your Wavy TV statement? If this was a whole segment on the radio show, that would be a start towards meeting the multiple, non-trivial, 3rd party coverage that an article should have, but there needs to be a source. As for the Warped Tour info, granting the DJ's access to bands doesn't make any real case for inclusion. Please see WP:ATT; this explains the attribution necessary. Ideally, articles should have multiple, non-trivial coverage from 3rd party sources. A couple magazine writeup, news stories specifically about the subject in the article, etc.--Isotope23 13:30, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Let me do some research into it. Because I'm not associated with the program, all the information in the article is based off of web searches and common knowledge on campus, as well as a few updates that were not done by me. Is there a timeframe for deleation? --Stingray23464

Full-frame digital SLR (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Article is a neologism - the term full frame digital SLR is derived from marketing and subject to many competing definitions, and not able to be attributed in reliable academic literature Hmette 00:58, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment sounds like it should be a disambiguation page, then? Seems like a potential search term that should be pointed somewhere useful; if it's a badly-defined term that shows up in marketing literature, people would probably search for it on the internet trying to figure out exactly what it means. cab 01:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep. I recently did a lot of work on it, replacing speculative and nonstandard meanings with the ones supported by reliable sources. The main meaning and the related variants are covered, each supported by two good book references. If you had proposed deletion a few weeks ago I would have understood. By why now? And as neologisms go, this is a pretty old one, if you leave out the word 'digital'. Should we retitle and re-arrange it accordingly? I see part of the problem may be your concept that you had put into the article earlier that "The term is the subject of considerable debate and not capable of conclusive definition." I don't see it this way at all; I didn't find books that talked about debate, and there didn't seem to be any uncertainty of definition. The fact that some DSLR users have wanted to apply the term to their cameras, extending the definition, should not be relevant here unless we find a reliable source about that. Dicklyon 03:28, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Actually I did propose deletion some weeks ago, after attempting to find reliable definitions. The definitions found were principally actually linking to wiki itself. The comments in reply were essentially that "wiki is a neologism". I don't see it that way. The references appear to be recent "how to" books on photography, not really reliable secondary sources. The are articles that use the term, not about the term. So far I haven't seen any reliable secondary source material. The problem isn't that its a term that is used within the photographic community - that isn't enough to justify its inclusion in wikipedia, the problem is that it isn't used or defined consistently, and that definitions are not in reliable secondary sources, as required by wiki's policies.--Hmette 05:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps an issue. But so many books use the term full-frame in this sense, in a way that implies an accepted definition, that it seems to be a notable topic. As you've noticed, the wikipedia/google cycle makes it very hard to find good sources on web pages by googling; that's why I mostly use google book search to look for reliable sources. Now that we have an article on image sensor format, however, maybe it would be better to move much of the content there, and to make a full frame (disambiguation) page to dispatch to there or to the film format or the CCD article as appropriate. Sounds like a next proposal to try out after we survive the AfD. Dicklyon 06:17, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep To be quite blunt, I don't really see a problem with the article as it stands now. As far as neologism goes, even I have heard and used the term and I'm just a hobbyist. Seed 2.0 14:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep current version seems reasonably well sourced and NPOV. Well sourced notable neologisims are perfectly appropriate. DES 16:33, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep This term has been used ever since the cameras were first built, to distinguish these very expensive cameras from the ordinary digital SLRs. I seem to have heard there are now additional brands and models not listed in the article. DGG 21:19, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep Term is in common use. Article seems fine. Fg2 01:44, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong keep. Almost half a million Google hits; If this is a neologism then so are >90% of the other technical terms on which we currently have articles. Andrewa 09:52, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually only 24,600 google hits for the rather too specific title, but that's not how things are decided. Personally, I'm leaning toward the disambig idea that I mentioned above; what do you think? Dicklyon 15:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• I as an architect created this page after a recent presentation from Nash Timbers (Continuing Professional Education - Accredited) to our architectural firm (Woods Bagot) on the correct use of timber products and the current Australian standards in the industry. I and many of my fellow colleagues were impressed by the information that the company put forward in a non biased or self promoting manner. After the presentation i was interested in doing a little background research on the company yet there was little available, I understand that Nash Timbers does presentations such as these on a daily basis to other industry figures (architects, interior designers, engineers and builders).

If it really is that notable then sourcing should be easy - that it's gone so long without tells me there is no reason to keep. Arkyan • 15:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete: It's been eight months since the most recent nomination. In all that time, it hasn't progressed beyond the unsourced stub that existed back then, and has had all of about three meaningful edits. Arkyan's reasoning is sound, and frankly, I'm unimpressed with the argument in previous AfDs that dissident publications have a hard time finding sources which satisfy WP:ATT. Notable ones manage just fine. Ravenswing 16:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

RFerreira 08:13, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment: There are only 13 hits on Google News , and not a single one is even about an article attached to Dissident Voice; they all reference "Soandso is co-editor of Dissident Voice" or "Soandso's works have appeared in Mag A, Mag B, Dissident Voice, Website C ..." We could just apply Occam's Razor and draw the conclusion that the reason why the article hasn't established notability is that the website just doesn't happen to be particularly noteworthy.  Ravenswing  13:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

not notable.--TeckWiz Contribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 02:57, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Withdrawn-per conversation with editor. --TeckWiz Contribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 03:32, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Alfred Brown is a first class cricketer and therefore IS notable under Knowledge (XXG)'s own selection criteria. This entry is clearly referenced to Cricinfo and Cricket Archive which shows his first class career. The number of games he played is not relevent. The fact is that he is a first class cricketer for Yorkshire County Cricket Club and therefore should be included. I suggest you check as WP:BIO says "competitors who have played in a fully professional league" are by definition considered sufficiently notable for an article. Nick mallory 03:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC) Nick Mallory

However, many articles you've created are on people from the 18 and 1900's. That part is probably meant for people that played under 50 years ago, or who are really notable (ex. Babe Ruth). In other words: is anyone likely to search for some guy from the 1800's. And if they do, is a 3 sentence article going to help? --TeckWiz Contribs_@(Lets go Yankees!) 03:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Thank you for withdrawing your request to have this, and many similar articles on first class cricketers, deleted. These 'guys' may not be important cricketers like Babe Ruth but they nevertheless fulfill the criteria Knowledge (XXG) lays down for inclusion. This is an encyclopedia - which means the obscure guys get a mention as well as all the really famous ones. Even if someone played in the fast distant past of the '1900s' they still existed, they still matter, they should be here. As for the pieces sometimes being only three sentences long, well that's about all the information that exists on them. This is their only memorial. Scant though their facts may be, do you really want to deny them their due here? There are links to further details of all their matches via Cricket Archive on the page for those who want to find out more. Super talking to you today. Let's go Yankees!

• Merge then Redirect Does being heritage listed make it notable or significant? If it is a significant building, I would have expected significantly more information about the facility to ascertain it's value and importance. At best this article is a stub and the majority of the information is already contained within the main relevant article. That information is not within the main article can easily be added cleanly without taking up too much space and would not interrupt the flow of the article (in a section named key buildings or facilities). I'm not suprised to see another Aquinas related article at an XfD again. While the efforts of the editors documenting Aquinas must be applauded, regrettably those parties have been the cause of heated debate and discussion as they have just been indiscriminately flooding WP with excess pages, categories, tables, lists, et al. thewinchester 17:02, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Because if it's not, then you might as well erase all of Knowledge (XXG) since the purpose of site is to make its articles publically noticed, hence noted, hence notable.

• Comment. 1. M.A. Carrano is not the "intellectual architect behind imperativism"; the term can be found in texts that were written before he was born (relating to ethics). The definition presented in the article is not even clear of the role of the term itself. What's imperative? 2. The purpose of Knowledge (XXG) is not to make the subjects of its articles notable - that is exactly what Knowledge (XXG) is not. If this guy wants to make a name for himself in philosophy, he needs to do it the old-fashioned way: get a Ph.D., get tenure, and write a whole lot of articles. Q.E.D. ... discospinster _talk 22:12, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Save Disco's argument commits two logical fallacies: 1. The Strawman Fallacy: Disco distorted "intellectual architect BEHIND Imperativism" into "inventor OF the word Imperativism." This is obviously not the case. In precisely the same way that Relativism existed as a term before Einstein developed it into a formal theory - which he is now heralded as the architect of, Imperativism existed as a term before M.A.Carrano formalized it into a new philosophy. 2: Argumentum Ad Logicam: Attempting to discredit the education of an "autodidact" does not refute the validity of his claims in precisely the same way that the syllogism, "1. All philosophers have Ph.Ds, 2. Socrates, Plato & Aristotle did not have Ph.D's. 3. Therefor, they were not philosophers." proves that Socrates, Plato & Aristotle - not to mention dozens more such as Soren Kierkegaard or Ken Wilber - weren't philosophers.

• No duplicate !votes please. There are no independent independent sources about the subject. Stop trying to fabricate arguments in an unrelated manner. --Wafulz 00:36, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Save Wafulz' arguments are not only logically irrelevent, but also fallacious. Wafulz commits a reductio ad absurdum when he says, "Stop trying to fabricate arguments in an unrelated manner." In conjunction to Knowledge (XXG)'s decree, "deletion decisions are made on the merits of the arguments." In otherwords, "In order to partcipate, stop participating." It's interesting to note what Wafulz calls unrelated: while conjectures against the article are acceptable, rebutals that refute the logic of the critical conjectures need to be conveniently overlooked. The name of the fallacy Wafulz comitted is Slothful Induction.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.83.4 (talk • contribs)

1. Stop pretending to be multiple users
2. The article clearly doesn't meet verifiability policy or notability guidelines. You can go on and on about fallacies and arguments ad _______, but if those two aren't met, then there's no point. Concepts learned in Philosophy 101 don't matter if the relevant policies and guidelines aren't met. --Wafulz 02:19, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

Save 1. It's impossible to pretend to be multiple users since all IP addresses are recorded on Knowledge (XXG) by Knowledge (XXG).

Save 2. It doesn't matter how many times I come back to see his article since Knowledge (XXG) says this isn't a vote based on the majority but by quality of argument posed.

3. Who mentioned anything about philosophy 101 to a guy who's published a book on the subject? That's completely irrelevant. 4. The guy meets Knowledge (XXG)'s Notability Guidelines under ** The person is known for originating a significant new concept, theory or technique.**, in this case the guy originated a new philosophy, and the guy meets the verification guidelines by including links in the site to outside sources of verification. So not only have the policies been met, but the old arguments are just as spurious. So bro, it's not your fault. If anything blame wikipedia for having ambiguous policies that allowed a relatively unknown to earn mention. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.202.83.4 (talk • contribs)

The "quality of the argument" doesn't matter if you don't present multiple independent non-trivial sources. In other words, you would require multiple articles from reliable independent sources with editorial oversight with the Carrano as the primary subject. Starting every comment with "save" and not signing your posts creates the illusion that multiple people hold the same view. Use four tildes to sign your posts. --Wafulz 02:58, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

This article fails WP:ATT, WP:NN, is just about the shortest possible stub, hasn't been touched in months, and interestingly enough, the only Google hits for the so-called "Hongloumeng Prize" that is the subject's sole claim to notability are this article and the (Chinese language) web page linked within it. More damning, while the Google translation claims that this prize was awarded in Hong Kong, the Hong Kong Google has no more hits than the English one.

• Delete unless reliable secondary sources are added asserting notability. WP:BK says nothing about the notability of the publisher conferring automatic notability onto its books. Krimpet (talk/review) 02:37, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

It's not an individual book, it's a comic book series, one that was published by a major publisher and has since been collected in two trades, that to me says 'notable'.

I Am Not A Furry so I don't really know the best place to find the best references, but googling comes up with sufficient hits that, considering this was first published in the pre- and proto-web days, it must have been some kind of a big deal to somebody. With sufficient research it could probably be improved with a whole slew of references, so possibly keeping it and adding the appropriate templates would be a better course than deleting it?

Failing that merging and redirecting to Mike Kazaleh would be the best option. Artw 17:29, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Strong Keep for the reasons stated above, also because the author, Mike Kazaleh, has gone on to some notability as an animator, working for Bakshi, Kricfalusi...I'm tired of furry, too, but for me this qualifies as 'funny animal' Rhinoracer 15:11, 28 March 2007 (UTC)
  • That doesn't mean that we should keep an article of unverified information from unreliable sources-K@ngie 21:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • I take it that you don;t consider the Furry chronology a solid reference? Artw 22:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • That's just a passing reference to the comic. It doesn't address the problem of the lack of multiple, non trivial sources. Still failing WP:RS, WP:ATT and some more WPs listed below-K@ngie 05:45, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
        • As I understand it multiple, non trivial sources is the ideal, not the baseline. Artw 17:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
          • We can't just pull an article out of thin air - this thing is 90% unsourced, and the "sources" we have do not cut it (mostly being a trivial mention, such as "TAoCJ was an important comic", with no follow-up). How do we create an encyclopedic entry from that?-K@ngie 10:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Makes no assertion of WP:N and being published by a notable publisher does not confer notability - if it's worthy of an article then it should have some independent and verifiable claims of its own. Aticle is also devoid of reliable secondary sources per WP:ATT. Arkyan &#149; 15:23, 28 March 2007 (UTC)

• Keep. I'm looking for any criticism of Captain Jack (without a lot of success beyond simple expressions of affection; Kazaleh has a lot of love from fans, but his simple style can be hard to do in-depth critiques on, & what there is on Captain Jack is almost certainly old & heavily preWeb) & found this in an Amazon testimonial from 1999:

'Not since "The Adventures Of Captain Jack," by MIKE KAZALEH went out of print have I read such an entertaining book.'

High praise indeed, to be used as a comparison that way. Of course, it could be Mike or a friend just trying to hype his work, so I can't use that as a cite, but it struck me. Ventifax 04:30, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

• A merge into Mike Kazaleh might not be inappropriate, given the brevity of that article and the assumption that it is works like The Adventures of Captain Jack that give him the notability required for a personal article. This is not to suggest, however, that assumption is necessarily warranted, but deletion of Mike Kazaleh has not yet been proposed. Pop Secret 08:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Having done a little research on this subject I came up with a lot of luinks for Kazaleh, all indicating he's pretty notable in his field. A deletion attempt on his article would be insane. Artw 10:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • How does it meet notability (and WP:ATT) guidelines? We have a one line mention of it being "an important furry comic", and a catalogue list-K@ngie 10:14, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
    • It's not a great reference - you have to hunt around for it, and it's only one line, but it does show that Captain Jack is regarded as important by one of the leading experts on furry fandom (god I hate myself for knowing that now). Which pretty much confirms the information that googling has dug up in blogs, newgroups, the sites of comics vendors and other sources that don't make for good references. Given that this was published in 1986 finding the kind of online references to it that you'd get for it's modern day equivalent will alwyas be hard: I believe what is required is a subject matter expert to dig up refs in print form. Given that we've established that (1) it exists, and was indeed published by a major publisher,(2) it's still in print, (3) it's regarded as important by those that like that kind of thing I don't see the objection to it's continued existance in stub form, with the hope that such an expert will come along with the refs required for expansion. Artw 17:17, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Fame and notability are different things. The lack of reliable information available about this comic seems to show that, despite being famous within the furry fandom, this isn't notable - and it really does look like this article won't go beyond a plot summary given what we have. Also, notability is not subjective-K@ngie 23:04, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
        • The ref doesn't say famous, it says influential. As for the paucity of online references, see above for why I belive that it isn't a sign of anything other than that finding wikipedia-acceptable references for indie comics pre-the interweb is really fucking hard. That we find anything at all is indicative of a high degree of notability for a comic of it's type (or would you argue that an equivalent comic from the present day is more notable because it has N-dozen potential references?) Artw 23:40, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
          • What you're suggesting here is that we keep this because it's harder to find sources for this? Notability isn't subjective, and thinking otherwise leads to unsourced articles such as this. If there aren't sufficient sources available to write an article, there shouldn't be an article, because otherwise it is gonna be unsourced, unverifiable OR, running afoul of several guidelines. And to your question, I'd say yes, because notability is determined by the amount of attention paid to a subject, and multiple reliable sources indicate that a subject is notable.-K@ngie 00:40, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
            • This is not an unsourced article. This is an article that could do with better sources, and I would argue that he aboce should be taken into consideration when asessing the article. As for WP:OR, this article is nothing of the sort. You should maybe calm down a bit with your policy-cites, right now it looks like you're reaching for excuses to delete the article.

Wah Yan College Cats (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Previously deleted per CSD and later restored. There is little established notability to justify the existence of this article. It appears to be dominated heavily by content which has not been attributed properly - most likely original research, as the article history shows that it has only been edited by one registered editor. Additionally per notability guidelines for organizations, there appears to be insufficient secondary reliable sources out there to support this article. At most, I can see this article having a section in the Wah Yan College article, but not its own. Luke! 05:46, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Benjwong 21:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment deletion debates have nothing to do with whether people "want this to represent animal shelters in Hong Kong". Linking this from Cruelty to animals is a pretty clear example of undue weight, but the decision to keep or delete this article rests on the usual criteria WP:V, WP:N, WP:RS. Though IMO this is a perfect example of something that's newsworthy but not encyclopedically notable, it should at least be given a mention (and the sources from this article attached) on the Wah Yan College page, given that it is the subject of articles in two mainstream HK newspapers (South China Morning Post and Ming Pao), which is more notice than most secondary school organisations usually attract. cab 23:59, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete There doesn't seem to me much encyclopedia-worthy content worth merging. Of course, we could decide to IAR from here on, and keep all well-written or clever articles in WP regardless of subject. It would simplify some of these discussions. DGG 01:04, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

  Mere comment. I'm staying out of this one but I would like to point out that WP is built on consensus. WP is not a democracy but one of the very basics is that policy is not set in stone - please don't dismiss other's opinions (in this case, that schools should be exempt from WP:N or that they should by default always be notable unless proven otherwise) as a mere policy violation. -- Seed 2.0 21:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

  • There is no consensus that all high schools are notable. It used to be that most were kept by default, but thankfully others users have started to crack down on this and realized that schools are not exempt and that they have to follow the guidelines and policies arleady established. TJ Spyke 22:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Comment There was even an consensus at one time that all middle schools were notable, and that one has thankfully be laid to rest, though there are a few dissidents. The rational part of the concept that all high school are notable is the assumption that if the subject was examined closely enough, then something notable would eventually be found and eventually documented. This may even be true of some schools--many large long-established schools might prove to have the minimum of two notable graduates if sufficient search were made. But a similar argument could be used about almost any subject. It could for example be made about apartment buildings, which might quite possibly turn out to have had at least two notable residents. Or hospitals. And hospitals also have an influence on the thousands of patients that pass through them. WP is apparently to not be a collection of indiscriminate information, except for .

List of omnipotent fictional characters (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Delete article that cannot live up to its own name. This list of characters with omnipotence or "something near" it cannot be maintained. Most of the characters listed are not omnipotent. Omnipotence means having "unlimited or universal power, authority, or force; all-powerful". This does not apply to fictional characters. Even within the fictional context, it applies to almost none of the characters listed because most of them can be beaten by other characters and there are many, many things most of them cannot do. Recent attempts to clean up the article have failed because of subjective disputes over the issue of omnipotence. Inclusion of any character in the list usually invokes POV. As noted at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Comics#Omnipotence, the list does not and cannot work. There can be no such thing as "something near" omnipotence any more than anyone can count to infinity minus eight. The title is wrong anyhow. It would have to be "fictional omnipotent beings" rather than "omnipotent fictional beings" because you can't really be omnipotent if you're fictional but you can be fictionally omnipotent. Doczilla 07:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - I added references for 15 of them. We are not here to judge what omnipotent means, just record who has been called omnipotent by reliable sources, including primary sources. Trying to decide who could beat who is pure OR. We're not here to judge the contradictions inherent in "something near" omnipotence, either. We don't need to think about whether the Beyonder can create a rock so heavy that even he cannot lift it. What needs to be done is lots of citations. I'm sure there's some comic where Superman or Lois says Mister Mxyzptlk is omnipotent. Citations are what this page needs, not deletion. A renaming may be in order, though. - Peregrine Fisher 08:05, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Actually, calling them omnipotent is "pure OR" when there's no objective definition to evaluate them by. If by verification, you mean published sources that call them omnipotent, that's not good enough because the article title says they are omnipotent, and the sources frequently use the term incorrectly. Marvel Comics' online definition of omnipotent is not the dictionary definition of omnipotent. The fiction sources themselves (mostly comics in this case) show examples of where almost every one of those characters is not omnipotent. If someone has been shown to get beaten, the character is not omnipotent. It is not a matter of us debating who could beat whom. It's a matter of the fact that many of those characters have already been presented as defeatable. Doczilla 08:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

The only "pure OR" are comments like "if someone has been shown to get beaten, the character is not omnipotent." - Peregrine Fisher 19:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Good point. "If someone has been shown to get beaten, the character is not omnipotent. " --Action Jackson IV 19:38, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - too subjective and unmanageable. I can think of many other examples of characters in science fiction that arguably have or obtain something like omnipotence - there are quite a few examples just in the work of Arthur C. Clarke. I suppose it could be turned into something more objectively manageable, using some novel concept that we could devise, but that would be original research. By the way, the current title so reminds of the ontological argument for the existence of God. If there's an omnipotent fictional character, it possesses the power to make itself real, right? Metamagician3000 08:47, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• 'If we use reliable sources, there's no subjectivity to it at all. Verifiability is the novel concept that makes this objectively manageable. - Peregrine Fisher 08:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - for all the reasons mentioned above. Every character with this supposed ability has been trumped at some point, thereby disproving it. The stories say as much. Perhaps another term? "Cosmic being/deity" etc. These characters do belong to a loosely-knit "pantheon" that has assembled when required. We just need a term that adequately describes their immense power. Omnipotent, however, they are not. Asgardian 09:41, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• It's not a matter of whether they really are (fictionally) omnipotent, it's whether we can cite something that says that they are/were omnipotent. People are talking about this as if this is something we decide, it isn't. - Peregrine Fisher 09:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - metaphysics of omnipotence in a nutshell: Doczilla makes a brilliant point: "If someone has been shown to get beaten, the character is not omnipotent.". It seems that a central argument for inclusion of such-and-such a character in this list is "well, on page 48 of issue #386, Lois Lane warns Batman that Dr. N. E. Farious is 'an omnipotent force to be reckoned with'", which doesn't quite hold water. The characters are speaking figuratively, and I would argue that most, if not all, of the secondary-source literature would also be throwing around the label in a figurative sense - not a literal one. So it might just as well be List of fictional characters which have been called "really big jerks", List of fictional characters who have been referred to as "evil masterminds", or List of fictional characters whose mamas are so fat. I know that last sentence reads like a reverse WP:OTHERCRAPEXISTS, but my point is that this list is taking figurative, off-the-cuff terms and treating them as if they are literal ones (that bear some sort of measurable merit outside of pure trivia value) - and we all know where that slippery slope leads. ;-) --Action Jackson IV 09:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep - meets WP:LIST, is sourced. WP:NOT#PAPER. Matthew 10:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep: I can see this being a very useful list. I completely agree with what Peregrine Fisher said- "It's not a matter of whether they really are (fictionally) omnipotent, it's whether we can cite something that says that they are/were omnipotent." In arguing about whether they are omnipotent and trying to decide a threshold for omnipotence, we are conducting original research. In citing sources for what is and what isn't omnipotent, we are creating a good article by Knowledge (XXG)'s standards. They have missed some key ones though- why isn't God on the list? ;-) However, in answer to Metamagician3000- the ontological argument doesn't work, and this is good proof for that. I can see myself referencing this list, and I think it would be of great interest to a large number of people. J Milburn 11:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete. Per the arguments above, the list would have to be renamed to something like "List of fictional characters for whom claims of omnipotence have been made", if it were to be maintainable. This highlights a notability concern, as there seems no reason that list is notable. Any character in a storyline can assert someone is omnipotent. If there have been reliable sources which discuss the question of which characters are regarded as omnipotent, so that belonging to this list is clearly a matter of encyclopaedic interest to comics readers, then the list might be justified. However, then inclusion would have to depend on those sources to avoid problems with WP:OR. Mike Christie (talk) 11:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per the excellent reasoning of the nominator. POV/OR concerns abound. Noting also that arguments like "It could be useful" and "It's interesting" are not particularly compelling. Although I must say I would be hard-pressed to !vote to delete List of fictional characters whose mamas are so fat. Otto4711 12:30, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep — none of the examples in the list as it stands right now look egregious to me, and compared to many lists which get AFDed, this is pretty easy to source. I don't see any reason to rename this page to "List of fictional characters for whom claims of omnipotence have been made", but perhaps "List of omnipotent or near-omnipotent fictional characters" would not be too unwieldy. Anville 13:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete per the nominator, due to both WP:OR and POV concerns. The inclusion criteria as set forth by the lead section are both vague ("possessing omnipotence, or something close to it") and is full of WP:WEASEL words. That you cannot nail down a discriminate, non-arbitray, NPOV set of inclusion criteria is a sign that this is something WP:NOT suitable for inclusion. Arkyan &#149; 15:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete ]. I wouldn't necessarily object to a list of actual fictionally omnipotent characters -- but this seems to be a dumping ground for any really powerful, really knowledgeable, god or godlike character out there. A few things:

• No, it's not enough to "cite something that says that they are/were omnipotent." Citations also have to be reliable. Book reviews, TV listings, solitications of books, game reviews, and fansites concerned with "ranking" superhero powers just don't meet that criteria.
• I see only two primary sources used in citation in this article -- the rest are all secondary sources. Of those two, one is inaccurate, and the other looks like it may actually be citing Knowledge (XXG) itself.
• Even when a primary source can be found, we do need to make a determination as to whether the subjective words of a character reflect actual omnipotence on the part of the subject.

End of the day, I can't see how this article can be salvaged. Actual fictionally omnipotent characters are very few and far between, while mistakenly believed to be omnipotent characters are a dime a dozen. ~CS 17:35, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - As it stands, even with the current tweaks, there is a fundamental disconnect between the title and the list. I'd like to say "Rename" to something a kin to "List of fiction characters described as omnipotent" or "List of fiction characters who are all but omnipotent" which seem more in the spirit of the actual list material, but anything along those lines invites POV arguments to keep the list manageable. (ie "Where the other characters or the writers serious?" or "How powerful does a character have to be shown to get to 'almost'?"). - J Greb 18:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete- violates WP:OR and concerns about reliability of sources Thunderwing 18:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Not sure how it violates WP:OR. "The only way to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research is to cite reliable sources." If a ref isn't reliable, remove it. - Peregrine Fisher 19:08, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Strong DeleteDelete WP:NOT a list of which fictional characters some editors think are omnipotent. Carlossuarez46 19:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• They all have citations. Has nothing to do with what editors think. - Peregrine Fisher 19:54, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• • Wrong: I read some of the "sources" that have been added indicating that the claimed omnipotency of the characters is denied in the sources: every one has some failings or inabilities or some group is going to undo them...OMNIPOTENT means all powerful, not just powerful, and a character that is has all the power to do anything cannot have inabilities or any group cannot undo them without removing the OMNI from the POTENT. Carlossuarez46 19:56, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Let's just take one for example "the Spectre (comics)" a quick perusal of the article says that "The Spectre began by seeking bloody vengeance against Corrigan's murderers in a grim, supernatural fashion. In years to come, the character would gain a reputation among editors and writers as being too powerful to get a dramatic handle on, but creator Siegel apparently felt otherwise, because in More Fun #60 (October 1940), only the eighth Spectre story, he gave the Dead Detective an almost literal deus ex machina, the Ring of Life, which would appear on the ghost's finger when he faced a menace beyond his powers (in six stories reprinted in recent years)." An omnipotent character by definition cannot be faced with a menace beyond his powers. Carlossuarez46 20:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • That's you doing original research on what omnipotence means in terms of a fictional characer. You're using OR to say the Spectre shouldn't be on the list. Also, all fiction is in the present, so being omnipotent at one time is all that's necessary. They exist in a "perpetual present tense" according to WP:TENSE#Check_your_fiction. - Peregrine Fisher 20:15, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Since you indicate (a) that the meaning of "omnipotent" is susceptible to different interpretations and (b) being on the list is not dependent on omnipotence (however defined) except for some micromoment, that's further reason to delete because there are no objective criteria to be included or excluded from the list. Vote changed to strong delete because these additional reasons to delete that seem impossible to overcome. Carlossuarez46 20:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
          • There is an objective criteria. The same objective criteria that applies to all WP artilces. They're called reliable sources. - Peregrine Fisher 20:44, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Hi Peregrine, I think you're demonstrating some difficulty understanding "check your fiction" as a prose styling, and how it should be applied in a discussion. When writing about a fictional work, we write about it in the present tense because the conceit behind fiction is that it is unfolding before our eyes. This doesn't mean that there is an abstract "all fiction is happening at once" -- obviously there is a chronology. The "literary present" is a grammatical concept in regard to how we write about fiction, not a philosophy by which we disregard the changes or development of a fictional character. This concept is irrelevant here. It's something to be applied while writing the Spectre article. ~CS 20:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• As far as the actual issue at hand: You are correct that it is not our place to pick apart at character established as omnipotent with reasons why that character should not actually be called omnipotent. But it is our responsibility to think critically about where and when the work "omnipotent" is being used, and whether a list is accurately reflecting the work of fiction. That is what this list fails to do. A textually omnipotent character would be like God in Paradise Lost: an express issue explored within the text is the character's omnipotence, even if the word omniscient is not actually used. "Milton's God" would be a perfectly appropriate character for this list. However, the citations in this article are not pointing us toward works of fiction which explore or feature omnipotent characters. They're pointing toward: a) powerful characters who people within the fiction mistake as omnipotent, b) instances where reviewers, advertisers, and TV listings have used the word omnipotent as an adjective, and c) instances where Knowledge (XXG) editors have arbitrarily decided that a character should be described as omnipotent. These are not reliable, appropriate, encyclopedic, or accurate; and it is our place to determine what is reliable, appropriate, encyclopedic and accurate. ~CS 20:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• a) "Mistake as omnipotent." That's OR. Who are we to say if they're right or wrong. b) "Used the word omnipotent as an adjective." They're describing an omnipotent character, not sure what other kinds of speech they should using. c) If a ref isn't reliable, remove it. I added lots so there would be plenty left. - Peregrine Fisher 21:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• A) Who are we? We're readers of the fiction. If a character is defeated, he is not omnipotent. I don't believe it's fair to demand a reliable source, as authors of secondary sources would probably not wish to waste valuable printing space on reasserting the completely, blindingly obvious minute details of when a character is being literal, when a character is speaking figuratively, when a character is overreacting, etc. Anyway - as I've said before, it seems that a lot of these claims demand a very, very literal reading of the source texts in order to stand up. B) I think it's reasonable to say that there's a fair amount of "hyperbole" in TV listings and advertisements, and I think it's just as fair to cast light upon the oftimes hyperbolic nature of review texts, as a literary device to capture some spirit of the original work. --Action Jackson IV 11:12, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Right. We can't start lists based on hyperbole: List of fictional biggest jackasses on earth; List of fictional stingiest cheapskates; List of fictional skankiest hos; List of fictional people so fat that when they sit around the house, they really sit AROUND the house; List of dumbest fictional characters other fictional characters ever met; List of fictional characters who wouldn't urinate on you if you were on fire. Doczilla 20:51, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• It's a standard list, just like List of Marvel Comics cosmic entities, List of fictional characters who can create illusions, List of fictional characters who can alter probability, List of comic and cartoon characters named after people, List of comic book superpowers, List of characters who move at superhuman speeds, List of fictional characters on the autistic spectrum, LGBT comic book characters, List of dead comic book characters, etc. - Peregrine Fisher 15:09, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

Not the same. You're making lists based on any random quality or ability. Making your examples comparable to the omnipotent character category would give us things like List of singlemost powerful illusionists in each of their respective universes, List of infinitely fast fictional characters, List of fictional characters that somebody somewhere called the most severely autistic person in the world, List of the deadest fictional characters. We're not arguing about whether or not to make lists of fictional characters. We're talking about the nature of the list. There's no hyperbole in specifying things like fictional characters who can create illusions. Doczilla 05:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

I doubt you could quickly reference a list of 30 such individuals. If you could easily find refs (like I did for this page) for 30 "singlemost powerful illusionists in their respective universes" then it might be an important characteristic. The way we know that isn't an important characteristic is that there's no refs to back it up. Same for the rest. The notability of fictional omnipotence is demonstrated by the large number of reliable sources that can be found on the subject. - Peregrine Fisher 05:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

What "reliable sources"? The citations in this article include things like Amazon.com product descriptions, and other wikis. "Reliable" does not mean "random stuff I found using Google." ~CS 05:53, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

If the reliability of some of the sources is the problem, then that's not a reason to delete. Tell me which ones you don't like. I'll tell you why their reliable, or remove/replace them if they aren't. - Peregrine Fisher 06:57, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete There's not much to be said that hasn't already, the list is unmanageable. Especially in it's current state. There have been some omissions made on the DC list that makes no sense. For example, the removal of Imperiex. It clearly states in the official DC Encyclopedia that he is virtually omnipotent, but I guess even that isn't good enough. As for the standard where if they were "defeated" then they are not omnipotent, that pretty much eliminates 99% of the list for both Marvel and DC. Even the Living Tribunal was shown to be ineffective against the bearer of the Heart of the Universe, so therefore he should be eiliminated based on that standard? It's too overbroad. If there is no standard by which we can agree to, then there's no point in keeping this list because then it becomes too subjective. ShotokanNbjj 13:56, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• If you want to add the omnipotent fictional characters that you know about, please do. The standard that we can all agree on is reliable sources. - Peregrine Fisher 05:38, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete without prejudice per much of the above, but in my mind primarily for redundancy and an inherently arbitrary design. 1) Redundancy: the majority of this list mirrors in miniature the existing articles Cosmic entities (Marvel Comics) and Cosmic entities (DC Comics), lists of characters of a certain type that at least ignore questions of level of power while still giving basic descriptions and links. 2) Arbritrary: the problem with almost all lists of this sort generally falls under the guidelines of indescriminate collections of information. Peregrine Fisher does indeed have a valid point that wikipedia does not care if these characters are omnipotent or not, only whether it is possible to cite that they have been described as such. However, this begs the question of whether one description of an adjective merits a list. I doubt there would be much debate about an AfD for "List of Strong Fictional Characters" or "List of Generous Fictional Characters" regardless of the quality of citation. As used, "Omnipotent" is simply a descriptive modifier, only of interest because it appears to be a larger and more impressive modifier than other adjectives. I respect the work put into this list, but given the duplication of work of most of it, I can't bring myself to suggest keeping given that underlying problem. -Markeer 14:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete as yet another unmaintainable and unimportant trivia list.--JyriL 17:41, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep as while the list of omnipotent characters may seem to be beaten quite often, this is usually because they purposefully engineered their defeat (does not apply to all). Also, being "omnipotent" is not the same as being "omniscient", the ability to know all and hence wield absolute power wisely. Article has reliable references and maybe the title should be changed to List of fictional characters deemed to be omnipotent within their respective fictional Universe or some variant. Zuracech lordum 06:43, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - I've included all sources of the album's eventual existence as well as a fair description in that first paragraph. I've also made the infobox more substantial. I think as the mentions of the album and other things concerning the album accumulate this could be a decent article, it shouldn't be too long before Trent talks briefly about his vision of Y0 Part 2 in interviews seeing as how Part 1 is almost out and Part 2's gonna come around sometime next year.

But there are two sources for the information (that I can find): Blabbermouth (" 'Year Zero' is reportedly the first of two concept albums, the second of which Reznor hopes to finish next year.") and Kerrang! ("with part two scheduled for next year"). These two sources have me leaning towards keeping the article. Both sources are reasonably accredited sources, I mean both Blabbermouth and Kerrang have their own articles on Knowledge (XXG), so they're somewhat reputable and/or noteworthy. The page does, however, need to be cleaned up and possibly renamed/moved if we were to keep it.Drewcifer3000 02:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. I read through the story of the interaction with the Startcom company at User talk:Startcom. This company has had since December 2006 to get this straightened out, and they still haven't come up with reliable sources giving third-party opinions. Aren't there any Israeli magazines that have written about them? The bit about offering a cheaper certification seems like it should have got some press coverage, but I see nothing here.

I don't know if that means merging all three, deleting 2, etc. I've spent 3 hours researching Startcom and it appears marginally notable -- see my detailed comments on the talk page: Knowledge (XXG) talk:Articles for deletion/StartCom. In particular, I find the c't and DistroWatch references compelling. I think notability is the issue for this AfD, not the fact that it was spammed, obnoxious as that might be. Also, I sense this company's notability is growing with time.--A. B. 16:16, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• Comment. Even the article on StartCom Certification Authority, the most plausible of the three, has no reliable sources by my criteria. I agree that the c't article is interesting, but it's basically a warning against using StartCom certificates! And it's a web site. The mentions on the DistroWatch site, if you look at them, sound like multiple occurrences of the same press release. If one of the StartCom articles listed in this AfD is kept, where will editors go to find reliable material to update it, given that StartCom seems to get no notice in the regular press? I think that StartCom fails WP:CORP and it's so obscure that any article about it will be hard to maintain. EdJohnston 16:46, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• All Linux distributions have a reference to Distrowatch, since it's an important web site. Distrowatch indeed announces most - if not all - distribution releases. This is what they do.

• Strong Keep for StartCom Certification Authority. This certification authority (CA) is the root CA for the intermediate certification authority (ICA) run by the XMPP Standards Foundation at xmpp.net. This ICA has been issuing cost-free digital certificates to administrators of Jabber servers on the public Internet since December 2006. As of 2007-04-05, this ICA has issued several hundred certificates. It is helpful for server administrators to find information at Knowledge (XXG) about the StartCom Certification Authority as they decide whether to obtain such certificates. It is also helpful for developers of Jabber client software and Jabber server software to find that information as they decide whether to bundle the StartCom Certification Authority's root certificate with their software. This information is also helpful for end users of the relevant Jabber clients and deployed servers (e.g., the jabber.org server, which uses a digital certificate issued by the ICA, has over 220,000 registered users, many of whom may be interested in finding objective information about the StartCom Certification Authority.

• Delete all 3 StartCom articles on violations of WP:COI, WP:NOTABILITY, WP:CORP, and WP:SPAM. The articles also suffer from a market-speak tone that lacks WP:NPOV but that can be fixed with judicious editting. One problem of notability I have is that I'm a huge Linux fan and I've been visiting DistroWatch on a weekly basis for the past several years and this AfD is the first I've ever heard of StartCom Linux. I just never noticed them before. Another troubling point is that StartCom Linux does not even currently register on DistroWatch's top 100 popularity list.

Responses to your points: The age of the articles is not considered as part of this debate - all articles must uphold WP:V and WP:N criteria at all times. These critera must also be upheld regardless of the existence of other distros in Wikiepdia. Again, read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Unique or not, the StartCom Certification Authority page must be sourced like all the others, and it definately fails WP:SPAM. Nobody here is is working for any other Linux distributions or other entities - our only goal is to maintain a reliable and respected encyclopedia. In addition, many of us are also part of the open source community that you benefit from. This is the first AfD for all of these articles - so the primary notability has not been established by consensus. If the articles do survive this process, then you can use that as precedent in future AfD discussions, but remember that consensus can change.

Fictional portrayals of psychopaths (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Oy vey, where to begin? For starters, "psychopath" is as outdated a term in clinical literature as "idiot" or "moron", so any definition is going to be fraught with peril. The article makes an admirable attempt to offer multiple definitions, but ultimately it constitutes a breed of OR - as if one were to create Fictional portrayals of foofeefums. Additionally, the article is completely unweildly (unsurprising, with a word as unscientific and non-precise as "psychopath") and basically reduces to "fictional portrayals of characters who are not normal". The article can't even keep true to its own imaginary definition - witness Stanley Kowalski and Gary Gilmore in the "realistic" section, when both A Streetcar Named Desire and The Executioner's Song - specifically the latter - had strong subtexts that argued just the opposite. So, to summarize: Impossible to scientifically define, leaving in every single different pop-media definition of the slang-term "psychopath" leaves us with a completely unweildly and unmanagable list, WP:OR by its very nature, and really ends up feeling like something written in high school - well-written, organized, but juvenile. At least Fictional portrayals of sociopaths would be able to be objectively defined via the DSM-IV. --Action Jackson IV 09:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• CommentThere IS no such thing as a DSM-IV definition of "Sociopath" which is, in fact a virtually interchangeable synomym for Psychopath devised in the 40s or 50s to differentiate between Psychopathy as we now use the term and a far earlier use of the term to denote "any mental illness". It never replaced Psychopathy and the two terms are regarded as interchangeable though some sources suggest slight differences of emphasis. --Zeraeph 13:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete per well reasoned explanation of nominator. An article of that length with no sources is never a good thing, and it really does constitute OR, grouping 'psychopaths' together as the author sees fit. Good effort, but it doesn't belong on Knowledge (XXG). J Milburn 10:49, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep For starters, Psychopathy is as far from an "outdated term" as anything could be. An entire diagnostic system for the condition (Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R)) is in general medical use since 1991 and went into it's second edition as recently as 2003, three years after the last text Revision of the DSM-IV-TR, and as such, a far more accurate, recent and formal diagnosis than anything in the DSM-IV-TR. The Uk Mental Health Bill drafted in 2002 and 2004 makes considerable specific reference to "Psychopath", as does the existing Mental Health Act (uk) 1983. I also respectfully suggest that the nom tries telling Dr Robert Hare who created the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) that Psychopathy is "Impossible to scientifically define". Beyond which, fiction has a seperate and slightly different fascination with the concept "Psychopath", which, while not as scientific as the medical use of the term by any stretch of the imagination, is still a valid social construct. That lead to an unwieldy, but remarkably pertinent section in the main, medical article Psychopathy. I moved it off myself, to get the article back to cited medical and judicial information, not much caring what became of it. When I checked back I discovered that, while I may not agree with every suggestion presented in it, the article had somehow metamorphosed into one of the most fascinating I have seen on Knowledge (XXG). --Zeraeph 11:13, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - I don't wish to turn this into a debate over the merits of the term "psychopathy". That said - it does seem that the PCL-R is pretty self-confined. To use a bit of hyperbole: A (suitably screwy) Ph.D could create a checklist to diagnose Witchcraft ("does subject float when thrown into a lake?"), but this by itself doesn't really legitimize Witchcraft - any more so than a Spark quiz legitimizes the theory that deep down inside, we are all a specific Disney character. UK English has always been more traditional than US English, and it opens up a whole Amero-centric aspect that I'm really not prepared to discuss. Bottom line in that regard: I was taught in all of the Psychology courses I took in college that "psychopath" was outdated, and so broad as to be almost totally useless in diagnosing any condition (akin to having a General Practioner diagnosing you as "physically ailing"). I'd like to think that at the very least, out of all the professors I had, that Dr. Rosenberg and Dr. Foye were both reasonably up to date in their understanding of psychology. But anyway - even supposing, for the sake of argument, that the PCL-R and UK terminology combine to make an iron-clad, academically-standard definition of "psychopath", I still have to ask myself - does an article this multi-focused (to the point of scatter-brained) really provide any encyclopedic merit? Might do well on "Wikiartia", but for Knowledge (XXG), in the end, it's still crufty. --Action Jackson IV 11:55, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Well, if you really "don't wish to turn this into a debate over the merits of the term "psychopathy"" I suggest you strike your original remarks to that effect from your nomination and go with what is left alone. As a matter of fact the Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) is not only widely accreditted and peer reviewed in accord with WP:RS it is also generally regarded as an international diagnostic standard (which the DSM is not, most of Europe, for example, uses the ICD instead), by the medical, penal and academic communities. The fact that you seem completely unaware of this reality raises serious questions about the validity of that aspect of your nom to the point of negating it. I also very much doubt if the UK Parliament encourage "screwy PHD"s to draft their legislation. I am not personally prepared to accept unsupported claims of "what I learned in college" as a WP:RS for any assertion. Particularly not against such a body of evidence that is clearly in accord with WP:RS. --Zeraeph 12:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • Comment - Awesome. --Action Jackson IV 12:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • PS It is, in fact the DSM category of Antisocial Personality Disorder that is widely criticised, and has been shown by research to be "so broad as to be almost totally useless in diagnosing any condition" (see Rutherford, M.J., Cacciola, J.S., & Alterman, A.I. (1999). "Antisocial Personality Disorder and Psychopathy in Cocaine-Dependent Women," American Journal of Psychiatry, 156. pp. 849-856 ). --Zeraeph 12:17, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - absent a clinical diagnosis any tagging of a character as a "psychopath" is original research. Standard for inclusion is vague, seeming to encompass anyone who behaves in an anti-social fashion. Otto4711 12:45, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment There IS a case to be made for restricting the article to those characters specified by the text or script to be psychopaths (of which there are plenty) and forking the others off to a new article perhaps to be called, less formally Antisocial characters in fiction? Though my primary objection to this nomination concerns the remarkable degree of misinformation in the terms on which it is presented I would also see secondary grounds for objection in the quality of the article and it's value to those who seek information on personality types as portrayed in fiction. As long as the text of the fiction defines the character as Psychopathic it can hardly be WP:OR? --Zeraeph 13:09, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • But that then requires us to evaluate the qualifications of the person making the statement, which is still OR. Do we give the same weight to a declaration of psychopathology from a psychiatrist as we do to a cop or a plumber or a serial killer's latest victim? If so, then the restriction is useless and if not it's POV. Otto4711 13:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • I take your point, except that a fictional character exists only within the context of the fiction he participates in, and if a character is diagnosed by a person who is, in that same fictional context, declared qualified to diagnose him (such as a fictional qualified psychiatrist) that should be sufficient. If we delete this article on those grounds we would have to consider deleting all similar articles, concerning fictional characters with specific disorders and conditions, not just Fictional portrayals of psychopaths on the same grounds, which risk *wincing hard* these lists returning to bloat the psych articles them are affiliated with. Maybe it is time to devise a specific guideline essay on the subject?--Zeraeph 16:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
        • We already have WP:TRIV which is part of the MoS and WP:BHTT which is an essay section but addresses the idea that it's better to have these sorts of articles because of the potential of cluttering the main article. Personally I have little problem with the idea of considering the deletion of other similar articles and indeed have AFDed a large number of them. No one really seems to like them much but resign themselves to them for lack of a perceived better option. It's been my opinion for some time that the better solution is to delete the garbage dump articles as they come up and aggressively deal with the sections as they appear or re-appear in the main articles. Otto4711 18:12, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
    • And to comment on the notion of a list of anti-social characters, I would oppose such a list as being incredibly vague and indiscriminate. Any character who acts in any way contrary to society would be eligible for inclusion. Most works of fiction contain one or more such characters so the list would quickly bloat out of control. Otto4711 15:20, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
      • I take your point, perhaps a re-worded title would solve the problem? --Zeraeph 16:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
        • Honestly, I don't see a lot of utility in any such lists that draw in characters from every realm of fiction who have nothing in common other than they are perceived as "anti-social" or "acting against society" or whatever phrase one were to come up with. I don't think that such lists are generally in compliance with WP:NOT#IINFO or WP:NOT#DIR and the argument that there's some sort of research value in a list that lumps, say, evil Pokemons and Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs together. Otto4711 18:16, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Note that it is possible to state that some characters are psychopaths without performing original research. There is, after all, a fair amount of scholarship on at least one type of fictional portrayal: film. Pages 34–35 of ISBN 0934223491, for example, discusses Fritz Lang's movie M, stating that the film is "about a sexual psychopath", named Hans Beckert, who is a "psychopathic murderer". Uncle G 00:40, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
    • But upon what is that based? Is it in the opinion of the author, and by citing it we're giving it the sheen of factuality? Otto4711 18:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete no objective definition of who should or shouldn't be on the list. Carlossuarez46 20:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Based on the comments in defense of the List of omnipotent fictional characters for AfD above, apparently these lists will or attempt to include any fictional character exhibiting the feature for any brief mention of time. So, combined with any definition of psycopath, it's hard to find any fictional character not exhibiting psycopathy (in someone's opinion) for a microsecond. Carlossuarez46 20:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Most of the arguments in favor of deleting this article are petty and arbitrary (and often incoherent and confused as well). This article would be better-served with additional clarification of definitions and sources rather than wholesale deletion. This is a well-researched, well-organized piece that contains many interesting and valid insights about many different types of fictional representations, which have also been discussed elsewhere and in other articles. Most of the complainers here seem to forget that this article discusses fictional portrayals of psychopaths in popular and literary culture, as well as popular notions about what a psychopath is, or might be, in a fictional context. This is not an article about debating or verifying the clinical semantics of psychopathy and all of the medical concepts and terms related to the condition, nor is it a psychiatric report. The article is a critical analysis of fictional portrayals of psychopaths as they are generally understood in the accepted tradition of literary and cultural criticism. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tantalizing Posey (talk • contribs)

• I think I totally agree with you, the concept "Psychopath" IS common in fiction and often has a whole meaning of it's own. At the same time there should be clearer sources and definitions. --Zeraeph 11:15, 6 April 2007 (UTC)

• But then we're just changing from deciding whether the character meets the clinical definition to whether it meets this heretofore unstated and very vague "literary and cultural" definition. What exactly qualifies a charcter as a "psychopath" under this "tradition" and who decides that a character so qualifies? Still fraught with unacceptable OR and POV violations. Otto4711 18:57, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep "Psychopath" is a word found in most dictionaries, and it is reasonable to use it in Knowledge (XXG), which is a general reference work not tailored for psychiatrists.--Runcorn 11:58, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
• Keep "Psychopath" merely means "a person suffering from chronic mental disorder, especially with abnormal or violent social behaviour". At least in films, there's usually pretty litle doubt if someone is a psychopath. --Holdenhurst 19:01, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• WP:NPOV would seem to indicate that generating a list of people for whom the inclusion criterion is that there's "little doubt" is unacceptable. Otto4711 12:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep per Tantalizing Posey. Could anyone deny that most of the characters listed in the article are psychopaths? OK, maybe Harry Lime is just an unpleasant ruthless criminal, but how many others?--Newport 22:22, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• And this in a nutshell is the problem with the list. In your opinion there's no room for denying that the characters belong on the list, except of course for the exception you noted. But that's based on your POV, not an objective standard for inclusion. Otto4711 12:55, 8 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep Holdenhurst is understating the case and Otto4711 is possibly disingenuous. In Hollywood films, even colour ones, things are pretty black and white. It is utterly beyond reasonable doubt, in many cases, whether a film character is a psychopath in accordance with the usual dictionary definition of the word. To deny this is to push NPOV to absurd lengths.--Osidge 19:22, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

Sure, there were a few "he's playing here tomorrow night" mentions, but that doesn't satisfy WP:N or WP:MUSIC. Per the article and Action Jackson IV's comments, it looks like Alix *might* fulfill criteria #6 of WP:MUSIC, but I'm not convinced (nor has anything in the article convinced me per WP:RS)... in the meantime, if the above editor who did not sign his name would please give valid reasons as to why Alix fulfills WP:MUSIC, citing actual criteria, then I will change my vote accordingly.

Give Up the Ghost (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Article on this obsolete short-lived band fails WP:MUSIC; absolutely no WP:RS report on this band; only claim to notability is two records on small independent label which, by itself, does not establish notability. THF 12:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

• Keep - Passes WP:MUSIC criteria #4 as they've had 2 albums released on Equal Vision Records (home of Coheed and Cambria and Circa Survive amongst others), a notable indie record label - this is already verified in the article, and "poor article" is not a good reason for deletion. Also in the article is the fact that several members went onto several other notable bands (WP:MUSIC criteria #5). Also worth mentioning that singer Wes Eisold is also credited on Fall Out Boy records over lyrics shared with American Nightmare/Give Up The Ghost - although this is not mentioned in the article yet as I haven't got around to it. Calling 5 years "short-lived" is also a tad misleading. And the fact the band is obsolete is irrelevant, since notability is generally permanent -Halo 13:03, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment. Wes Eisold isn't notable, either. Meeting two of the minor eleven criteria in WP:MUSIC doesn't mean one meets notability, it just makes it more likely that one meets the central criteria standard of It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.—which this band does not meet. The fact that the band is obsolete just means that it isn't notable yet and it isn't getting any more notable. -- THF 13:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Meeting several of the WP:MUSIC criteria make it very likely that sufficient reliable information is available about a given group or individual musician. If you think that WP:MUSIC uses poor criteria then that's something else entirely, and this isn't the time nor place to take that up as it is an extremely well established notability guideline. For the record, they also did a UK tour so passes Criteria #2. If you think the article is poor and needs sources, surely the logical thing is to try and improve it rather than trying to delete it? -Halo 13:34, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Halo, instead of bickering with me and insisting that reliable sources exist, why don't you improve the article, and I'll withdraw the Afd? I think the article can't be improved because the band isn't notable; I added a tag indicating the article needed improvement, and the only improvements band supporters tried was to remove the tag repeatedly, indicating they thought the article was as good as it was going to get. -- THF 13:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

I haven't had chance, although I did add a source earlier. But I do know the AFD process here having saved several articles from incorrect deletion (eg. Nightmare of You, Hellogoodbye), pretty much know WP:MUSIC inside-out by now and know the loops you have to jump through at WP:DRV if an article does get deleted. For the record, I'm not a fan of the band at all and I'm not a "band supporter" in the least and have no idea how you made that massive presumption. I've visited the page exactly 3 times and never heard a single song they play, but I do know about the band by reputation, the "scene" they were involved with and know it's notable there, as well as hearing about the court case, and dragged up two or three sources and reasons, as per Knowledge (XXG) policy, in the space of 15 minutes in order to try and save this from deletion. -Halo 14:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

The links about Wes Eisold and Fallout Boy shows that there was a plagiarism accusation, not that the band member worked with Fall Out Boy. It belongs in the Fall Out Boy article to the extent it belongs on Knowledge (XXG) at all. -- THF 13:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Sorry? Are you reading the same link I am? It's the first sentence! "SOUTH Philly's Wesley Eisold is credited as co-writer on three songs on Fall Out Boy's new record "Infinity on High."" - I'm beginning to wonder if your nomination was in good faith if you can't even read the first sentence of a link provided to you?!? -Halo 14:23, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

"Credited with" is not the same as "worked with". Again, the credit apparently resulted from a plagiarism accusation. Did you read the whole piece? We're told Eisold never gave permission for his lyrics to be used -- THF 14:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)

Fronions (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) - (View AfD)

Even with the link, it is hard to tell if url is relevant or not to Fronions since website is in Danish and titled "««« GGPC »»» Gladsaxe Gymnasium PartyCrew" Even it is related to Fronions, article seems frivolous. Postcard Cathy 17:29, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

• EX-TERM-IN-ATE!!! (couldn't resist). Or rather, redirect to Dalek variants#Dalek Supreme like Gold Dalek does. MER-C 13:26, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete current contents, then redirect to Dalek variants. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:52, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect per WP:FICT to Dalek variants (I don't believe a redirect should point to a section header). No need to merge; article's contents are unsourced and lack any context. Barno 17:07, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect seems like the logical course of action here. Acalamari 23:53, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Redirect. I believe redirecting to a section header is fine; I've definitely seen it done before. Emurphy42 06:09, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete -- contents are fictive, and non-canon. The Golden Dalek per se was originated in the TV21 strip and is only marginally-canonical. -- Simon Cursitor 13:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
• Delete and then Redirect, per Andrew Lenahan — this entry, along with most of the other contributions of MrFijiax (talk · contribs), appears to be completely his own creation. As Simon notes, there was a golden Dalek in a Doctor Who comic strip once, but that's not what this article appears to be about. To that end, the original content should be scrubbed from the page's history, and the page turned into a redirect. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 08:21, 6 April 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy Delete, fictional nonsense. -- Flutefluteflute 08:20, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

• Delete - should have just been tagged {{hoax}} and {{prod}}. --After Midnight 18:18, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
• Speedy delete as 1) untrue; 2)wild speculation & ball-gazing. Query: could a responsible admin check over all of this contrib's edits, to avoid further fictives ?? -- Simon Cursitor 13:50, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

• What? I followed the link on the article after finding it by randoms. It's a manifestly clear delete, if not a very clear speedy delete, and yet it seems there was no listing on AfD? Utgard Loki 16:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
