No claim of notability in article. 18 non-wiki ghits, none of which seem to be this group. Previously tagged with speedy deletion, but creator of article removed the tag. Creator of article subsequently blanked the article, but I'm not comfortable just prodding it given the previous speedy. Fabrictramp 23:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

List of misleading place names (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This page is redundant in concept with the set of pages Knowledge:Multiple-place names; a minor point is that the Knowledge-namespace page set is far more complete than the article being nominated for deletion. Also, the content of the nominated page is a collection of partial disambiguation page contents and is therefore more misleading of the state of ambiguity than Knowledge:Multiple-place names, which provides links to disambiguation pages. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:21, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment But in the same token, what's the point of using this article when most of the time you are redirected to a disambiguation page? Or are able to reach it after reaching the main article? When would a normal reader come in contact with this unless they purposefully search for the article? - Kneel17 00:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
A quick look at a few links suggests that "most of the time you are redirected to a disambiguation page" is exaggerating the matter. I would guess that in some cases hitting the search button in WP would bring the reader to this page. Note that I have had nothing to do with this page. However, as I noted, lots of editors have over a long period of time, and I'm inclined to trust their judgement. Deleting this would not really improve Knowledge and it does not harm the project. It is not against policy. --Bduke 01:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment. The nominated article, List of misleading place names, has been around since June 2005. The set of pages that I suggest make this nominated article unnecessary/redundant, Knowledge:Multiple-place names, has been around since Sept 2002. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 02:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Folk-blues musicians (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Appears to violate WP:NOT#LINK (specifically item 2). I am not saying it may be considered interesting or useful, but it is not what an encyclopedia is, per policy. User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 23:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC) (page created to complete AFD nomination by User:Pharmboy)

I suppose so (at least from speedy deletion), but in the state I saw them there was nothing but lists of internal links, headings and templates. An ordinary list would have some sort of lead (thus not being speediable) that would define its scope. Either way, should be deleted because it's original research to classify artists by genre unless it is established otherwise by reliable third parties. MER-C 05:14, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
All Music Guide is reliable. Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Yahoo, Artist Direct, MSN...they all use their information for categorization purposes. Now that references have been added, the idea that these articles still should be deleted is extremely weak. I hope that people's concerns have been addressed, because as I said below there was no WP:OR that went into the inclusion of even one artist on any given list. They were all referenced. Furthermore, each list appears with the corresponding category I in most cases created. This serves to give broader coverage of musicians in these genres, especially those who do not yet have articles and thus cannot be categorized. What a thankless job. (Mind meal 05:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
  • Delete Categorizing musicians into genres is WP:OR unless explicitly stated somewhere, and even then there'll be conflicts unless the artist themselves says it. Corpx 03:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC) I still think this should be deleted because this list is no more useful than the category Corpx 09:12, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I respectfully disagree. Already 5 musicians that cannot be categorized appear there, and the same can be said of all the other lists mentioned. Each list took a lot of time and effort to compile. If we are to delete them all, at least consider respecting my contributions enough not to insert WP:POV votes about "usefulness". Please see Wp:lists#Purpose_of_lists, especially the development section. These lists are like any other, and I'm still trying to figure out why my work specifically was targeted in this case. (Mind meal 09:24, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
  • Keep This is ridiculous. Musicians perform in genres. Looks like you lost anyway. If there is someone inappropriately listed in a genre, then say so. Otherwise, you assume both original research and inaccuracy. I challenge everyone supporting deletion to render a name that does not belong in a list. Anyone? How is placing musicians in their appropriate genres wrong? That takes the cake.(Mind meal 04:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
Keep I agree. Izzy007 (talk · contribs)
Delete indiscriminant collection of info. This could be 30 megs and not cover a third of them. Use a category. This page does not qualify for speedy deletion. From WP:LISTS: "Lists should always include unambiguous statements of membership criteria based on definitions made by reputable sources, especially in difficult or contentious topics", this criteria is far to ambiguous and likely to yield contrary sources. Until(1 == 2) 04:26, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
References are being added as we speak. You will find no discrepency. None of this was WP:OR, for each musician was carefully referenced. If the problem was with lack of references, then the articles should have been tagged with an appropriate tag. Now that the articles are referenced, I believe there is even less ground for deletion of any sort. (Mind meal 04:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
I sure hope that people won't just be stubborn here and will change votes accordingly. I know many of you thought you were correct listing these lists for speedy deletion, something adminsitrators have not agreed with you about. Surely with references you are not to be mean-spirited and still vote for deletion? That would really be an ugly thing to do after all the work i put into these. This whole group grew silent once I added references and the speedy deletion tags disappeared. So as they stand now, what are the argument for deleting them? It makes no sense now. I really don't understand the motives of some users. (Mind meal 08:10, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
A link to a Knowledge article is not a reference. Until(1 == 2) 13:42, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • rename and fuse It has come to my attention that folk blues is another way of saying country blues, If you all read the articlecountry blues you will find a list of guitarists already there, if we create a list of country blues guitarist, add it to the country blues article and then redirect anyone looking for a list of folk blues guitarists to the list of country blues article (much like if you type folk blues in the search engine you'll get country blues) that way the article won't look so incomplete because they'll be more guitarists there and country and folk blues are pretty much the same thing.

If this does go ahead we can all work together so we don't merely have a list of internal links that goes against the poicy of wikipedia (and annoys everyone with slow internet who has to click on every link!) by adding a small bit of information to each guitarist. --Mikeoman 09:54, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Country blues is more or less guitar-driven, though there are exceptions, ie. some pianists and singers. Folk-blues has many instruments, like guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica and mandolin. (Mind meal 10:36, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
  • Delete with reluctance. I'm not unsympathetic with the argumants in favor but there are some problems with assigning particular musicians to particular genres. Just noting the first entry on the list, John Fahey certainly played some things which might be called "folk-blues" but he also played stuff that some would class "Musique concrète" and he himself called his genre "American primitive" (reference provided upon request). People are likely to raise similar arguments about almost anyone on the list. The consequence of all this is a never ending creation of more and more genres with less and less distinction between them. better to have fewer more broadly defined catagories.Darrell Wheeler 12:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete, reluctantly. Here I think Mind meal's got a good idea, but not the right way to go about it. We can't just crib from a copyrighted source and call it ours. Unfortunately, some of these lists and categories are so specific that they need backup, and so there's no other easy way to get this information out. So I say delete for now, but I'm not prejudiced against a further re-creation with a different structure.--Mike Selinker 13:38, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, yes, emphatically Yes, there are paths to finding various artists, e.g., allmusic.com. However, the List is valuable. The list is easier and faster to search through than other lists. Links are faster to download, than, say, www.allmusic.com. There are many genres of music, so it is not appropriate to bemoan the number of lists of types of musicians. Dogru144 15:08, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
The reasoning is not logical. The categories function as better lists because articles are added to the categories by editing the articles themselves, to add the category, which is to say that the editing occurs in one place. Hu 16:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
It already is a category. Hu 16:33, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Whenever a category exists that is virtually identical to a list article, the list article should be deleted, as categories are much easier to maintain. Realkyhick 17:15, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Obvious since I nominated it. It should be a category, not an article, and all the other lists that are similar should follow suit. Pharmboy 17:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete and Categorize as per all of the above. It would be more appropriate to split it into a category. Greg Jones II 17:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep, short-term. First, this list could never be a cat. simply based on the fact that you can only categorize existing articles. A list can include items that don't (and unfortunately may never) have an article on WP. Second, any list of persons would suffer from the same downfalls that are pointed out here. I agree that there should be a brief description after each item, though. The third issue is the length of this list, which I believe is mostly attributable to its age. Unfortunately I do not know enough about this particular topic to know if it can ever be populated. So what to do; The existance of red-link or unlinked (unlinkable) items and a heading rules out both WP:NOT#LINK andWP:CSD#A3. This article (even with recent changes) could still be deleted under WP:OR. However, in a sample 500 lists of people only about 1/3 have any sources and several of those would be considered insufficient. To delete one on this bases means to delete many, many lists. I hope that everyone here would prefer simple citations as opposed to deletion. Lastly, if the article does not grow it could be deleted by WP:N. To prove this would take time. So...The article should be kept to see if it can grow and be sourced. If it does then there is no argument against it. If it does not it should be deleted using WP:OR orWP:N. (Sampm 20:37, 22 July 2007 (UTC))
This list is already a category. The non-existing articles argument you and the creator advance is bogus because there are other places to place such requests, such as WP:MUSICIAN. Further, if you know the person is notable enough, then just create the article yourself. Another bogus argument advanced is that there are other lists that should be deleted but aren't, so let's violate policy and keep this one too. Name the other lists and we'll nominate them for deletion too. Hu 23:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Knowledge still has hundreds of red links about non-current mainstream pop musicians with notability that they can be found in most music encyclopedias covering their type of music, and several individual musicians that I'm familiar with that have entire books published devoted to them. I am one of the many editors who has been gradually chipping away at the red links and stublets for over 5 years. Don't mistake any current deficits of coverage for inherent lack of notability. -- Infrogmation 00:15, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
The red links argument for lists is bogus. A place like Knowledge:WikiProject Musicians is the appropriate place to request articles. Hu 00:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Gosh should I add 600 names there now? Or should I kick myself for not having added 5,000 names there a few years ago? -- Infrogmation 00:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I just took a look there for a first time in a while. and noted that there are requests for expansion as well. My numbers of things I apparently need to list there was far too modest. I think I could curtail all other activities in Wikimedia projects for a month or so to do nothing but list areas we need work on. I rather think you are vastly overestimating the completeness of Knowledge. There are many areas of specialized knowledge-- including many significant musical generas-- where we are still in as incomplete a state as we were with, say, world leaders back in 2002. -- Infrogmation 00:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Good idea. (Not the kicking, no good kicking yourself). Now that you pointed out that Knowledge is not complete, we are no further down the road, and the red links argument for lists is still bogus. Hu 01:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think it should be deleted, however, I am not so much for it. Categorization if it gets too detailed, can be misleading, and many of the artists aren't streotypes anyway. For me, blues is just blues, and no more detailed categorization is necessary. --Sumori 04:13, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Your objections have been heeded, however, there has been no comment on the addition of short biographical content. It seems to me that the difference between some disputed lists and those not yet disputed is that factor. If adding such info would save this list then lets do it. If it would not then nearly all lists in this category and its subcats should be nominated. I'm not saying we should violate policy. My point is that many other lists have survived so there must be some redeeming factor or something different about this list. If there is a difference what is it? If there is not a difference then why have those lists survived? Have they just failed to be nominated? (Sampm 14:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC))

Craig Malisow (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Article was originally speedied but I think it may have some notability although the writing is poor. I rather the community decide if this one passes WP:N.JodyB yak, yak, yak 22:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment Has Craig Malisow won any awards for his writing? (I sure hope he didn't write THAT!) or written for a national paper? --Malcolmxl5 22:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Well, since "He is famous and smart.", I suppose we'd better keep the article.... ROTFL. Delete - no (legitimate) claim of notability (unless you count "is a big-time reporter"). While we can verify that Mr. Malisow is a reporter, I haven't been able to find any valid WP:N reasons to keep. -- MarcoTolo 22:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - As I read the article I could not help laughing. "He is famous and smart," "Craig Malisow is a big-time reporter." Certainly does not appear notable per WP:BIO. So I believe we should delete this article and by aideu to this "famous and smart" "big-time" reporter. --Tλε Rαnδom Eδιτor (ταlκ) 23:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

*Delete. Stating that someone is a "famous and smart" "big time reporter" does not make them notable - they have to have already been notable. He is not very famous and deleted! Bart133 23:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment I did look at the links - but unless I'm missing something, I'm still not convinced that the subject himself is notable (there may also be WP:BLP issues). If the DEA incident had significant ramifications beyond Mr. Malisow getting arrested, perhaps a citation in the Online pharmacy article makes sense? -- MarcoTolo 00:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)


Comment

Sorry, Random Editor Person...when you wrote this: "So I believe we should delete this article and by aideu to this "famous and smart" "big-time" reporter," did you mean, "...and bid adieu..."? I have never heard the other phrasing/spelling. Maybe it means something that I don't know, and maybe I am misunderstanding, so if that is the case, then I apologize. I may be confused. As for the rest of the comments, I am sorry, I am probably not as good as a writer as all of you people. I guess I do not know how to write it better. Maybe a better writer could look at Craig's material, and write a better article about him? I know I do not do it justice. Sorry about that. This is my first-ever entry, and I am trying to make it acceptable. Thank you for all your help and patience and assistance and suggestions.SLOW93 20:41, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

John 14:6 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

A single bible verse without verifiable citation, which appears to have been written only to give a sermon on its meaning (or rather what it means to the author). While I have no doubt there are individual bible passages that are so quoted and prevalent in western civilization that they deserve a wikipedia article analyzing their historical significance...this article and this passage are not even attempting to be such.

  • I don't want to go to Hell, but Delete This article cites no sources, so it is entirely OR. The words are weasley, the interpretations are not verified, and I don't see any 3rd parties referencing this passage, thus making it notable.

  • Delete, amen. This article takes sides in what was a major dispute in theology c. 1530. Bearian 23:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak delete with no precedent against re-creation. This is a famous verse, the basis of theological debate for centuries before, and after, 1530. Like all such texts, there is an enormous literature, both from a purely theological and from a history of religion perspective. But the article does not reflect it, and offers little to build upon. So far from being POV, it ignores all the discussion and all the POVs, and is therefore meaningless in an encyclopedic sense.DGG (talk) 02:17, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - DGG has it about right here - it's not a very good article at all, but could probably *be* one down the road, if someone takes the time to develop it with good critical sources, et al. Hallelujah, and all that. Tony Fox (arf!) review? 04:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete per WP is not a directory of prominent people from a religion/caste. This would be the equivalent of List of prominent Methodists or something similar. Also, none of these entries are cited.

Non-notable, autobiographical entry. While he does have some media links, that's pretty much only because he's a journalist: they usually do get such links. Severe WP:HOLE issues. The Evil Spartan 19:54, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment - 6,150 articles on the web site of The Age, the major daily newspaper in Melbourne which does not put all its articles online, including 767 news section articles and 433 op-ed pieces plus all the movie and TV reviews. A further 168 in the Sydney Morning Herald. 4 recent articles plus one other mention from the last month on Google News. 21 citations in Google Scholar. And the non-self published books going back to at least 1994 mentioned by Canley, most of which are in the State Library of Victoria and National Library of Australia ("permanent collections of several ... internationally significant libraries" - WP:BIO). I do not see notability as an issue but the autobiographical/COI nature of the article certainly is. However this can be cleaned up by independent editors. Dbromage 06:36, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
The difficulty is, though, what can be said about him, when nothing reliably sourced is written about him? Certainly any kind of analysis of his review style/content would be OR.

  • I am not a fan of articles for individual songs, but it appears that this is likely to chart and prove its notability under the current guideline. Keep for now and move to Superstars (song). Maybe this "should have been added Monday", but under the same reasoning, deleting it now is an unnecessary process. The artist is clearly notable, and it seems likely that the song will be notable, and we'll surely know better in a little while. Dekimasuよ! 03:26, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. The song is not notable at this point, based on any information in the article. Except that David Fonseca is involved, and the song will appear soon, there is really no other information. I have no objection to recreating the article later after the song comes out, there has been a chance to add third party commentary, and the song can be judged notable based on the independent sources.

Prod contested, taking to afd at DGG's suggestion. Currently a college player, he has been a member of notable teams. BUT just because one is a member of a notable team doesn't mean you yourself are notable. As I said in my prod, there is no indication of his contribution to the team's success. For all we know, he spent more time on the bench than on the field.

  • They're both U.S. soccer players, it seems, though your guess is a good as mine as to why an article about Alexander Parker is titled Corben Bone. --Malcolmxl5 22:24, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

I wouldn't say huge problem. Just an annoying problem. Someone who thinks Corben Bone is notable can blank the page and write an article on Corben on this title and if it turns out Alex is notable, then a new page can be started. But that is IF either are notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 172.146.136.185 (talk • contribs)

May or may not be notable. I don't know how presitgious of an honor that is so I won't comment. But anyway, if you read the article, the author wrote about Alexander Parker, NOT Corben Bone.
No, I understand your point. Parade always issues a player of the year for all major high school sports, so it's a pretty prestigious award, even if the magazine is free with your Sunday newspaper. Corvus cornix 19:47, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
I know that Parade does that. But I am still not convinced it is a prestigious award. Besides, Corben Bone received the award, not Alexander Parker who is the subject of the article.

There is no need to have a page detailing the results of every Premier League game for the 2007-08 season. The resulting page would be huge, and it is also a violation of the Premier League's copyright over their fixture lists. - PeeJay 17:41, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Reply - Tell that to the Premier League then. We're here to debate the validity of this article, not copyrightability of sports fixtures. - PeeJay 22:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment Seriously, this is a copyright infringement. It's the fixture lists that are copyright - see this - and the Premier League is very hot on this issue (though what leverage they'd have on a website outside the UK is another question). Regardless, this should be a speedy G12, and I've tagged it as such. Note that once played, the results are copyright-free. ELIMINATORJR 22:34, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the speedy tag; The page in itself is not a copyvio, and hence does not fall under the G12 criteria.

However, as it has also been PROD'd (and contested), I hope no-one will mind if I bring it here rather than adding a {{hangon}} tag.

  • Keep -- Long running and recognized online game with significant international community, and many open source and related internet projects. Notability bias works against this subject as it is an exclusively internet phenom. Reminds of Subspace as similar in notability, status, etc. Working on sources to satisfy WP:N, see open directory category, freshmeat project, case's ladder league... ∴ here…♠ 18:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    Well the Open Directory source is a directory entry, as appears to be the case with the Freshmeat project; I would call those trivial. The ladder league would not be an independent source. If it's as recognized as you say, then I'm sure there must be an article or a review out there from a reliable website. MarašmusïneTalk 18:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    Running 24/7 for over 10 years, mpogd.com, mobygames.com. The best indication of notability I can find is the sheer number of client+server apps which have been ported to most modern operating systems. These ports are not simply tetris clones, but actual TetriNet clients and servers. If not kept, should be merged into Tetris. This a long-living internet meme and community which I feel would be best kept seperate from the main Tetris article. ∴ here…♠ 18:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - I was the one who contested the initial PROD on grounds of non-notability. Article clearly has a lot of room for improvement, particularly in the area of independent references, but from the logs it is apparently that improvement is being made at a fairly rapid pace (many edits in the past week alone). Moreover, there is and historically has been a significant online community, and a simple Google search turns up numerous articles and pop-culture references to the game (some of which should certainly be incorporated into the article).Konekoniku 18:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment I've been looking for references; I won't deny it's a popular game. Lots of sites that will be useful for WP:Verification (entry at Mobygames, passing mentions at places like Gamenikki). However I haven't found anything to satisfy WP:N. MarašmusïneTalk 18:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    I believe notability can be satisfied by the numerous ports and open source projects based on this subject. The fact that ports of this are available for nearly any modern OS shows a level of recognition within the electronic community. I would venture than a widely indexed port for an OS like Debian might be treated as a single published article on the subject. Mainstream media coverage appears non-existant. ∴ here…♠ 18:56, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    There is no question as to how well-known or popular it is, that has nothing to do with this discussion. Notability is not popularity. "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." I have nothing personal against the game, but it does not meet notability guidelines, so should not be here. ~ JohnnyMrNinja {talk} 19:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

This band from Africa appears to fail WP:MUSIC. Judging by the article, they have released one album at an unknown label, and won a price (not further specified) by the French government, probably rather minor. Article apparently created in WP:COI by WoyClub, an organization they are closely affiliated with.

Nokia 6151 (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

I PRODded this article with rationale: "Non-notable product; fails WP:CORP, since no independent coverage is given. Sources cited are the vendor's web site, a blog platform (WP:SPS), and a web site that copied information from the vendor." PROD was contested. I would like to add that mobile phone models are so short-lived that permanent notability of a single model is rather unlikely. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B. Wolterding 16:48, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep. Nokia is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones and its models usually have sales numbers in the millions. For hard facts like technical data, the manufacturer's own site is normally regarded as a reliable source, and if an independent source is accepting the manufacturer as a reliable source and adopting the data from there, this is to be seen as an additional verification. The added remark seems to confuse the commercial availability of a product with its encyclopedic notability; by the same logic one had to delete nearly all articles about cars or home computer models, or indeed biographical articles once the article's subject has died. Due to the important role mobile phones are playing in people's everyday lives, (and its role in Nokia's product strategy), this mobile phone, as many others, is likely to be prop up in films and photos, diaries, attics and technology history contemplations decades after its sales have officially ended. Regards, High on a tree 18:30, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    • It's a consequence of the guidelines. See WP:CORP#Recommendations for products and services: Individual products are generally not notable and should be included in an article about the company, or in an article of broader scope (which already exists in this case, actually there's not much to merge, if anything). For the general remark: These phones receive temporary secondary coverage when they are released, and will probably not be covered afterwards, so it falls into what is described in WP:N#Notability is not temporary. In five years from now, I think no one will be interested in what a Nokia 6151 is, or in which colours it was available. --B. Wolterding 09:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge/redir to Nokia 6xxx series (along with most all of the individual models listed on Template:Nokia phones, to their respective 'series' article). For the most part, having articles on specific cell phone model numbers is akin to having separate articles for Ford Expedition V-6 and Ford Expedition V-8. Sohelpme 20:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep or Merge. Random pick-offs of articles in a comprehensive series do more harm than good to the project. Dhaluza 20:11, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
    • The choice is not random: This article had been tagged with notability concerns since November 06. --B. Wolterding 09:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
      • It's random in the sense that there are dozens of similar articles, and the same AfD argument could be made to others. Editors are working on a series of articles here with comprehensive coverage of a subject area. Perhaps each individual phone make/model does not need a separate article, but how to merge them is an editorial decision that is not suitable for AfD. The nominator is requesting deletion, which erases the content, history and link. All of these should be preserved. The phone obviously exists and was sold to the public in non-trivial numbers. Dhaluza 10:30, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
        • I would agree with you on the dozens of similar articles, but that's an WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS argument. Also, had I listed them all for deletion per WP:BUNDLE, the nomination would probably have been rejected since I was "nominating too many articles at the same time". So I'm nominating the one at hand. I am requesting deletion since I think that the article's content is not worth being kept. However, if "Nokia 6151" is considered a likely search term, I'm happy with a redirect as well. --B. Wolterding 12:14, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

I do not understand your assertion that the article is "intended to defame and harass someone". Can you please expand on that, preferably with examples from the current version of the article? --ElKevbo 21:44, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Dr. McSweegan, it seems that we've gotten off on the wrong foot here. By no means is the site here to defame and harass people. In fact, we have several core policies in place (most importantly regarding the biographies of living people and maintaining a neutral point of view) to prevent those very problems. If there are inaccuracies in an article, by all means bring them forward for discussion. We value accuracy very highly, and are working constantly to ensure that our articles are more accurate and thorough. Caknuck 22:13, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Policy says: When closing AfDs about living persons whose notability is ambiguous, the closing admin should take into account whether the subject of the article has asked that it be deleted. What we're doing here is arguing about whether or not Dr. McSweegan is sufficiently notable to justify an article. If Tom Delay asked for his article to be deleted, it wouldn't be. If someone created an article about me, it should be speedily deleted; I'm simply not notable, even though a Google search will turn up quite a bit of trivia about me. Dr McSweegan is somewhere in the middle, and that's what interested parties are debating here. In a few days, an administrator will come along and decide what happens next.Studerby 23:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

"In a few days." Is that the policy: to leave questionable or libelous material on your site long enough for it to be seen by thousands of Wiki users, then replicated by Google, Reference, Answer, etc. so it can be stored and retrieved by anyone from any number of other sites forever? Very reasonable, very responsible of you. I'm going on vacation for a few days; when I get back we'll settle this in public, not behind Wiki's barred doors. Emcsweegan 00:53, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

I thought about it and thought about it, and requested oversight of the relevant versions. Did this before discovering this comment by Dr. McSweegan. Blueboy96 01:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. There are a some stories from 2003 about how he says he was being "paid to do nothing". The news stories were simply reporting this interesting claim because it suggested some sort of corruption. There do not appear to be any more independent sources since that time. This biography serves to document someone's briefly famous dispute with their employer. Knowledge is not a news archive, notability is weak, and the subject wants it deleted. shotwell 23:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment It seems Dr. McSweegan's issue is that the original version is still in the history (per his statement here that it was "intended to defame and harass me"). Oversighting it would take care of the problem, in my view. Blueboy96 00:07, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep in the present form, and watch. DGG (talk) 02:29, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Although I was involved in stubbing the article from its previous form to avoid a lot of the issues EMS had. I want to acknowledge that the current version is a much better assembled article, and those responsible should be wikipedia's stub patrol. However, even now, the article basically says "Here's a guy who didn't like his job, his bosses moved him, and hey, even though he didn't like it, he's good at it. Oh, he also thinks crackpots are crackpots, wrote a couple papers in his field, and a couple of pretty unknown sci fi novels." I really haven't seen any major arguments for notability. Should EMS ramp up his activism against moregollums or whatever it's called, and become a national speaker against the diagnosis, or do the same for Chronic Lyme, or any other disease, and become known for being not the loudest mouth, but the best mind against it, that would be notable. Being one among many saying it's a load of hooey does not make him notable to me. Couple that with his desire to NOT be on here, as a dubiously notable person, and I really have to support deletion. ThuranX 03:16, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
It seems to me that McSweegan's main objection was that the original version was still in the article's history. I personally think the oversighting removes the issue from play--hopefully Dr. McSweegan agrees. Blueboy96 12:23, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep and Clean Up This article has some NPOV issues, but if Dr. McSweegan wishes for 'his side of the story' to be represented, his best course of action is to create more sources (interviews) so they may be used in the article.Archon of Atlantis 09:35, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - Seems notable enough for inclusion in this project. --Tom 17:45, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - McSweegan does seem to be a player in a controversey significant enough to have its own separate article (Lyme disease controversy), though not significant enough to be mentioned in the article about the controversey. Given the polarization of his situation, which does seem to be noteworthy, it is unlikely that there are any truly disinterested parties who could write an informed article in a NPOV using only the sort of sources acceptable for citation in WIkipedia. However, if such article could be written, it would be worth having. How close is the current article to meeting such a standard? Hard to tell. --Pleasantville 18:19, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Listcruft--and given the size of India, it may never be complete. Blueboy96 13:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Strong Keep should be reserved for extreme cases, pointing to a few useful redlinks while completely ignoring all of the convincing arguments isn't even reason enough for a weak keep. Malc82 23:03, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment: WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is generally considered an argument to avoid - after a quick look at the entries under List of schools by country, I suspect a bunch of those qualify for AfD consideration as well. -- MarcoTolo 23:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
Yes, I am aware of that, but the argument was related to WP:BIAS which invites comparison. Dhaluza 23:38, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
I've read the WP:BIAS arguments and I disagree. Personally, I'd say delete to ] or ] as well. This list is nearly 900 lines long as it is and I, for one, can't see how it can be reasonably managed. Given the size of India, this list very well may be longer than ]. If the list were split per your example above, it would much more keep-worthy. —Travis 15:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
The point is of the Bias arguments is that we have fairly full potential coverage of school districts in the United States because the mostly US editors here have worked out the scheme above. Our much fewer number of Indian editors have not had the time to work out the more mature scheme outlined above. If we delete this list now, then we will make largely inaccessible a great deal of work. At one time, the scheme for the US looked like this. We should give these editors the chance to let this list mature into a better scheme. Dsmdgold 15:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
For what it's worth, I copied the whole list to my user space and have started breaking into separate lists by state. —Travis 00:22, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per Corpx. --ForbiddenWord 14:13, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep While my vote is borderline, I do not see a need to delete this. Please see the guideline at Knowledge:Categories, lists, and series boxes which states these three methods of organization are not in competition with the other. Categories should not replace lists or vice versa except for special circumstances, of which this is not. This article has obviously had a lot of work put into it and the rationale is much too weak to just delete it all. That the list may never be complete, the same could be said for the category also.(Mind meal 22:06, 25 July 2007 (UTC))

Why don't one of you help me improve it! I want some people to join in the discussion at the Astrosaurs article about ideas about improving it. With the help of other users, We can make this article great! I just wish people would join me. By the way Matticus 78 there is plenty information about the book series. But thats not what i meant. I meant that we, (Not me on my own) Should include the plot for all of the books except the ones that have not been released. Thats all i just hate it when people can't help or tell me their ideas. (Woggy 18:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC))

I just want some help. I want peoples suggestions about ideas for improving the article! I posted 2 messages for the discussion and they never got answered! If we all work together and discuss improvements this Article will be a masterpiece. Come on everyone we need to work together and discuss improvements! Isn't there anyone who is willing to do this? (Woggy 18:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC))

Well, the article is a relatively low-traffic one in an area of fairly limited interest, and therefore edits will be quite infrequent and the talk pages rarely read, so your comments may not be replied to or acted upon for many weeks, if at all. AfD is not a good place to go touting for help, first because nominating for deletion is not the best way to improve an article, and second because the people who regularly read and comment on AfD discussions will not necessarily be particularly knowledgeable about or interested in the subject area of the article in question (we tend to apply our knowledge of Knowledge policies, and our skills at researching a possibly unfamiliar topic, to form our opinions).
Fortunately, the Knowledge community has identified the problem of articles that need attention but are not often visited/edited and get overlooked. To help solve it we have "WikiProjects", a sort of central collaborative workspace where editors can find out about articles in a particular subject area that might need attention, discuss improvements, coordinate activities, rate the quality and importance of articles, and so on. In the case of Astrosaurs, the most appropriate place would be the Children's Literature WikiProject. If you visit the project page, you will find a list of editors who tend to concentrate on editing articles about children's books and related topics. Might I suggest you send a message requesting help to one or two of the active editors on the list at Knowledge:WikiProject Children's literature? I am sure someone will be happy to lend a hand (but be patient - someone has to read your message first, and not everyone visits Knowledge to edit every day). Since you said you have changed your mind about nominating this article for deletion, I will close the discussion and remove the notice on the article itself. If you need any more guidance, you are welcome to leave me a message, but I doubt I will be able to do much to help with the article itself because I don't know all that much about children's literature. Though for the record, your suggestion to add a short plot summary for each book in the series is exactly the kind of thing that would improve the article - if you've only read a couple of the books, then just do it for the ones you know, and it need only be a few short sentences. Good luck! ~Matticus C 20:07, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

(UTC)

  • 'Comment:I am open-minded about this AFD for the moment but would like to find out more before taking a stand. I raised the question with the nominator (see Roger Davies' talk page) and he has speedily replied, though I still have some doubts. It's common sense that Knowledge is not a Directory and that surnames like Goh, Smith, Davies, although the Davies may have a long ancestral history :-), etc should not be compiled into a list just because some bearers of these surnames (notable or not, wish to see themselves on the list). Some groups of people however do qualify (eg List of Jewish _____ mentioned by Corpx above). I would like some in-depth examination of the importance of the Nairs as a group before I decide whether they should be lumped with the Jews or with the Davies. Cheers.Ivygohnair 22:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Merge into Nair, since it's a caste. If it were simply a surname, I'd say delete. Mandsford 01:03, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • That would be like merging "List of Famous Methodists" into the Methodists article. While cast is important to a degree, I dont think its as relevant as it was ~200 years ago. Besides, there's not much anyone can do if you include yourself into a cast even if you were not born into it. Corpx 01:43, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Not necessarily. I don't know how large the Nair caste is; it may or may not be larger than the Methodist church. There are a lot of castes in India; I'm not sure how many subdivisions of the Methodist Church exist, but Baptists are divided into Southern Baptists, Freewill Baptists, Primitive Baptists, etc. Nowadays, caste is still a part of heritage even if it's no longer part of the pecking order. Honestly, I'd never heard of the Nair caste, and the only ones I've heard of at all are at the opposite ends of the spectrum. Mandsford 22:16, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • With all due respect to the people who wish to delete this list, some of you seem to be unacquainted with the actual topic on hand. Because "Nair" is not just a surname its a community of people that encompass many surnames. So if one were to delete this so called "list" they would also have to delete every other list on Knowledge. There is a list of distinguished/famous Rajputs, Iyers, Ezhavas, Jews, Brahmins, jats etc there are countless lists on Knowledge of people pertaining to eminent or accomplished people from a certain caste or community and most of them do not have proper citations, whilst this list of Nairs has many sources and references shown. Secondly NAIRS ARE NOT A CASTE they were a community. The word Nair in Ancient Kerala was a synonym for warrior and since they were traditionally a warrior clan they had their own army called the "Nair Pattalam" which is now called Nair Brigade this was the army of the king, there are historical cases where people derived from the lower castes or lower stratosphere were assimilated or inducted into the Nair Brigade if they showed skill in the art of warfare and thus acquired the surname of "Nair" which was conferred onto them by the king. Many of the surnames in the Nair community are actually titles and not to be confused with a caste thus when you say "Nair" It is most definitely a community or a race not a caste. Because there were Nairs who were royals/kings/lords, but also Nairs who were servants and held menial jobs, although traditionally they were a warrior clan. If anyone wants more information on this they can read this http://www.kerala.cc/keralahistory/index13.htm. So in conclusion i would say take all these points on board before you contemplate on deleting the list, and if you decide on deleting it 1. you merely delete the accomplishments of a community 2. You will have to delete the 1000 other such lists on Knowledge from the list of Jews to Ezhavas. Because they too have made a list of eminent people from their community. Oh and by the way there is a * list of famous ezhavas * which is exactly the same as the list of Nairs. I wonder why no one tries to delete that? Even though that list doesn't show barely any references or citations as the List of Nairs. Its pretty sad that some insecure individuals show their hypocrisy and double standards in wanting to delete one list whilst not the others. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.38.248.35 (talk • contribs)
I'm the insecure individual who nominated this list. It was ignorance, not hypocrisy, that led to the Ezhavas escaping nomination. That has now been rectified (Knowledge:Articles for deletion/List of Famous Ezhavas). I have also nominated Knowledge:Articles for deletion/Jewish volunteers in the Spanish Civil War for even-handedness. --ROGER  06:58, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Nairs were all those things you described, but it has evolved into a cast of Hinduism now. I wouldn't mind if it only listed Nairs from their heyday (before/early british empire), but that would leave only 3. Everyone else listed on there is from late-British rule->modern day India era, when the "Nayanars" were just another cast in the social structure. Corpx 05:37, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak keep. While I don't currently see any reliable sources in the search, there are "about" 150,000 results according to google (and yes, I know how reliable that figure is, but I've clicked through 300 of them and there are still more to come). A random selection suggests that the majority are about this topic (with a small number concerned with a vehicle manufacturer, and another small quantity concerned with something called a "bill of exchange" that's used in Russia). This large number of articles suggests notability within the community, and given that notability, I feel the existing sources (while self published) are adequate to ensure verifiability.

  • Keep Has anyone even put a sources tag on it? Perhaps give it time, or actually find sources you approve of. This is genuine, and this article is quite well-written and intriguing. Give it a little time, or better still, do some of the work. It's not like this is non- content, it's informative.Merkinsmum 11:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep - it seems the community at vexel.org has about 6000 members (how many active, etc I don't know), so that seems to be an active community interested in an emerging art form. It seems to me not a small community for an emerging form, either. Smmurphy 03:42, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary and Request treatment at Wikinews. Articles of this kind help to delineate the boundaries of Knowledge versus her sister projects. The vexel concept as an emerging tool for artistic expression is simply in too early a stage to warrant encyclopedic treatment; as noted at http://news.deviantart.com/article/27110/ (probably the closest to a reliable source currently available for this concept) the definition of the term and the how-to around use of the graphic method are still a matter of debate ... it is an emerging art technique. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:50, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Thekke Puthen Church (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This article is about a local parish church in India. No sources are provided, I could find no Google hits for the church's name other than Knowledge and its mirrors, and I could not even find the church listed in the directory of the denomination's parishes in its state (see and ). Thus, the article has problems with verifiability and lack of reliable sources. I submitted this article for proposed deletion a few months ago, but the PROD tag was removed at that time. The justification for notability was that it is the only Malankara Orthodox parish church dedicated to St. Youhanan Mulk, but I don't believe that qualifies as notability in the sense intended by WP:ORG. I recommend a delete. Metropolitan90 06:03, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

    • Pastor David, since your a pastor you should know this is one of the most well-quoted verses in the Bible and one of the most well known. event though it doesn't have much information to the article. It still deserves it's own page exactly like John 3:16 does.--Hornetman16 03:34, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
      • While I do not care to get into an extensive debate here, let me say that I respectfully disagree. (A) It was not ever a lynch-pin verse in the early theological debates of the church, such as John 1:1 and the Great Commission; (B) it was never a doctrine-defining verse, such as the Words of Institution; (C) it has not been the object of modern scholarly debate, such as 1 Corinthians 11; (D) nor does it have a secure place in our cultural vernacular, such as John 3:16. I am glad that you find it personally meaningful, as do I. However, devotional value is not the same thing as encyclopedic notability. Pastordavid 16:12, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
        • Δοξα σοι ο Θεος! it's nice to see a pastor capable of a reasoned, encyclopedic approach to the Bible. Kudos to you, Pastor David. :-) --Targeman 16:26, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
          • The difference between me and you, Pastor David, is that your Luthuren (or however you spell it) and I'm Pentecostal. It mean a whole lot more in my church.--Hornetman16 20:41, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
            • Actually, that has nothing to do with it. The use of Scripture in theological development from 33-1517 has nothing to do with whether or not I am Lutheran (A & B above). Since then, it still is not a topic of debate among modern biblical scholars (C above). It is not a part of the broader cultural vocabulary (E). Further, it is not doctrine-defining even in the modern Pentecostal movement - which instead focuses on places like 1 Corinthians 12 and 14. "It means a lot" is not the same thing as encyclopedic notability - that is, "it means a lot" is a subjective value statement. As I noted above, it "means a lot" to me as well. But in neither of the traditions in question is it a doctrine-defining, or church-defining, verse. Pastordavid 20:57, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

(unindent) Notability is not hear-say or opinion, it is something to be verified in reliable, independent sources. Sources with a clear conflict of interest or which are not generally known as independent and reliable are not acceptable verifications of notability. VanTucky 21:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Most ancient common ancestor (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

The article is based on original research. The name of the article appears to be coined by the author.

  • Strong Delete Regardless of what the article specifically says, overall it's clearly an essay, and pretty much entirely original research, and should be deleted as such. User:Calgary 21 July 2007
  • Keep The term does exist, and it's a pretty simple concept which therefore needs a sourced definition. There's no need to delete, just a complete rewrite. The MACA is always defined relative to some group, e.g. for all animals it is considered to be some sort of sponge -- rewrite in progress! . --Michael C. Price 08:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
That two websites incorrectly used Most ancient common ancestor when they should have used Most recent common ancestor does not make this a real term. As I said earlier, most ancient common ancestor for you and I is the very first self-replicating RNA. Please think about it. Fred Hsu 15:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Still no reason to delete. Do a redirect then if they are synonyms. --Michael C. Price 11:15, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment Antonyms are not synonyms. They mean the opposite, not the same. Edison 21:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Notice that 'writing style' was not one of the reasons I listed as reasons for deletion. This article is factually incorrect. It is simply wrong and should be deleted. Fred Hsu 15:35, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    • article quality has nothing to do with the deletion process (can we post this in giant letters somewhere please?) shoddy articles on valid topics should be cleaned up, not deleted. This one is unsalvageable since its very title is unsalvageable. dab (𒁳) 18:01, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per JulesH for looking up the Most Prevalent Common Ancestor Term. The citations are for some decently written articles that happen to use the same combination of four words that fit in the context they are writing about. No assertion or citation suggesting this is a scientifically prevalent term or even a particularly popular term. -Markeer 12:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

For all living animals it is considered to be some sort of sponge.

  • Merge into one or more related articles. There's not much to salvage but what's there shouldn't be lost. Category:Phylogenetics has some good merge candidates, including Clade and Most recent common ancestor. Keep only if the article is vastly improved between now and the AfD close. As it is, the article doesn't even do a good job of defining the term.

Perhaps the latter? Extremely sexy 14:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Please do not merge until someone comes up with a clear definition of this term which makes sense. Please also cite real sources for this term. Currently cited sources talk about most recent common ancestor which is already well written in its own article. What can we add to that article that is not already there?

The fact that the grammatically-challenged may refer to it as the "most ancient common ancestor". Sohelpme 19:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete and merge - if there is anything of value here it should be merged into one of the other main articles. This is definitional in scope, which is not the purpose of Knowledge. --Storm Rider 18:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete to get unsourced, OR/POV essay out of the page history, then create Redirect to most recent common ancestor and add a note there like "sometimes erroneously referred to as most ancient common ancestor". Compare to . The "most ancient common ancestor" of any set of living things is the world's first living single cell--not all that interesting or important. Sohelpme 19:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
    • Comment Unlike WP:BLP, copyright issues, and a few other things, it is not necessary to hide original research through deletion or edit-masking. It may be convenient or even A Good Thing but it is not necessary. I'm sure there are lots of articles in Knowledge that were OR at one point until someone cleaned them up. Those edits remain in the history unless someone bothered to remove them. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:39, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Redirect per Sohelpme. Has very little content which in fact should be in most recent common ancestor. Dan Gluck 19:55, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Reminder: hey folks, you are now looking at a completely trimmed down version of the article, if you simply click on the article link. The original revision which I talked about in my deletion nomination is THIS ONE. Fred Hsu 20:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Revert and Merge the original version Fred Hsu mentioned above at 20:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC) with Multiregional hypothesis and redirect. Thanks for bringing this to our attention. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:05, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as complete nonsense, or Redirect to Most recent common ancestor to assist people who type the opposite of what they mean. Current evolutionary theory would say that all species have the same most ancient common ancestor, perhaps a single cell organism in a primordial pool. Most recent common ancestor would make sense. This is not a term with sources to show it is used in the literature and if not a hoax is at least original research. Edison 21:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment Er... folks, it's not my version. I added original research template first. Then I added the nominated for deletion template. I think the entire article is simply nonsensical. There is nothing to be salvaged from the original article. I posted the Reminder comment earlier to give newcomers to this thread a heads-up, in case you mistake the current version for what I nominated, in which case my nomination comments would make no sense. Fred Hsu 23:19, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Hearing no objections and seeing no improvement, I reverted to last version by Fred Hsu. Any comments made here between 08:39, 21 July 2007 and 04:38, 22 July 2007 may be referring to a rewrite started by 08:39, MichaelCPrice at 08:39, 21 July 2007. Which bore very little resemblance to the version that is now up. The version that is now up is the same as the version that was up when the AfD started. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 04:45, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment It looks like everyone above, except the original nominator Fred Hsu, Calgary, and the man who attempted a good-faith rewrite Michael C. Price, stated their opinion while the rewrite was up. The closing admin should take this into consideration. IF the consensus is for deletion based on OR grounds rather than other issues, I recommend instead reverting to the latest version of the rewrite and hiding the OR-version edits. Personally though, I think the OR version is more salvageable than the rewrite. The rewrite has issues of quality and readability. The text needs to be vastly improved before it should be placed in the main body of the encyclopedia. The OR version just has issues of OR, adding sources and citations should fix the problem. See Multiregional hypothesis for potential source material. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 12:25, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment: the article should be deleted. The term simply does not exist. Multiregional hypothesis references are irrelevant to this article. If this article exists simply to support such hypothesis, then it should be part of the multiregional hypothesis. Please let us not create an article with fake, nonsensical scientific name with body text which talks about something completely different. No amount of out-of-context citations can salvage this article. Fred Hsu 13:13, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment: At best, I found 4 sources on Google. These sources are ambiguous and may in fact not be sources at all. See the article talk page for details. In contrast, I found 8 sources that use this term in the context of Clade and 1 that used it in the context of geneology. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:27, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • REQUEST for closing admin: Userfy the talk page if the article is deleted. There's some stuff on there I want to hang on to for a bit. Don't leave it where it is, if the article is recreated as a redirect to something else, a stale talk page will be confusing. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 14:34, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Still delete. The article may be substantially different from the one that I previously commented on, but now it looks like original research, rather than a duplicate of existing information with the wrong title. There are two references in the article, but neither seems to be discussing the idea proposed by the article, which to me seems nonsensical. JulesH 16:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • delete. the term is used (a) incorrectly, by authors who don't know what they are talking about, and (b) casually, within some understood context. nothing to do with what the article pretends to be about. Arguments for Multiregional hypothesis can be discussed at that article. dab (𒁳) 17:59, 22 July 2007 (UTC)

arbitrary break

  • Comment dab gutted removed most of the unsourced material from the article again but this time left at least some of the original. I moved what's left into a section and turned the header into a disambiguation section, with some citations to back it up. The article is no longer unsourced original research. However, the section that's left of the original is and remains tagged as such. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:21, 22 July 2007 (UTC) edited davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 21:18, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as unsourced (a non-scientific popular publication and a throwaway, uncited reference in a scientific one?) original research. The use of unmoved mover doesn't help it either, makes it look like creationist BS. The original article was worse, with extensive use of first-person plurals - POV OR. WLU 13:54, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. "Most Ancient Common Ancestor" is not sourced and the article gives one no idea what it's supposed to mean. It just says that the two things it might mean - it doesn't. There doesn't seem to be anything worth saving here by merging into another article. Perhaps a redirect to most recent common ancestor or abiogenesis. Bgplayer 19:28, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete There is article Last universal ancestor. This article does not seem to have any useful content. Biophys 02:21, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • comment: I feel that the references davidwr mentions are really referring to Last common ancestor. So I favor redirection to Last common ancestor now. I have enhanced the MRCA article to talk about different between MRCA and Last Common Ancestor (LCA) and point to LCA article, the same way the MRCA article talks about the identical ancestors point.

List of Deceased Wrestlers (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

I don't see how this article has any relevancy. Perhaps it could be made into a category but I doubt that as well. This article's existence doesn't seem to serve any purpose in my opinion and the relevant information could simply exist within the pages of each individual mentioned.

Everyone dies eventually. Not all racing drivers die in races. You could draw a comparison if this was "List of wrestlers who died in wrestling matches", but it isn't. Equally, not everyone 'disappears' — in fact, it's really quite unusual (and often even notable on a per-person basis) for someone to fall off the face of the Earth.

The latin phonetic method of Shanghainese (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

DeleteThis page looks quite like a rehash in expanded form of the deleted Lumazi - a project to develop a Romanisation scheme for Shanghainese. The content was originally inserted into, then deleted from, Shanghainese ( and on the grounds of "self promotion"). Several grounds for deletion:

  1. no assertion of notability;
  2. external links reveal only a limited online presence: one project website, and one example of implementation; other links are to web forum posts;
  3. The article links to Chinese and French wikipedia articles, but those were created by the same user over a 3 week period - which seems to give the subject matter a hint of notability that it does not in fact possess. PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 01:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

On further reading of the Chinese Knowledge page (zh:吳語拉丁式注音法), that article gives the following details about the project: it was created in 2001 by a person identified through his/her web alias as "上海闲話abc", and developed with two other persons identified via web aliases as "Hisahara" and "Key". Nothing is stated about the extent of its usage on that page. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 01:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Comment I'm really not sure about this. Could this fit under WP:NOT#HOWTO in that wikipedia is not a pronunciation guide? Corpx 02:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment Well, I've read the article, and I still can't quite figure out what it is. Is it some kind system for romanizing Chinese characters, or what? I'm kind of inclined to support deletion as it seems to be altogether non-notable, as well as a sort of manual (not to mention incredibly confusing), but I wouldn't want to do that if I'm not sure exactly what I'm discussing the deletion of. Calgary 05:43, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Very interesting for a linguist, but misses notability criteria by a large margin. This is a very recent proposal, it has had no official recognition, and its author is not notable. This system might catch on in the future (although I doubt it), but it's certainly not notable enough right now. --Targeman 14:12, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - sourced and I see no reason why an editor might want to hide an article about this romanization system from other WP users. Badagnani 18:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
There are no external sources. And what do you think about the notability criterion though? --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 00:49, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment - There are external sources. It's also real bad that the original author of the article was not alerted of this AFD nor was any discussion posted to his/her discussion page. That really isn't right! Badagnani 01:44, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
The external links consist of the project's own website, one example of implementation on a website, and web forum posts. There are no external, third-party sources for the article. Most problematically, no claim to notability is made out.
This AfD was notified on Wikiproject:China, and of course it is prominently displayed on the article itself. There is no requirement to notify the creator (who, btw, has not edited since June 5, when this article was created). If you think notification is necessary, I will do so now. But please give us your thoughts on notability.--PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 01:50, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
Knowledge is not an indiscriminant collection of information. Notability needs to be satisfied. --PalaceGuard008 (Talk) 03:33, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Neutral Notability is just above borderline IMHO. If the article can be cleaned up and properly sourced before the close of AfD, I'll happily add a keep vote. As-is, it's overly advert-like in tone and relies too much on her own website for sourcing, and losing the article wouldn't be any great loss. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:52, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep per Achidiac and Andrew Lenahan. She appears notable, but what a mess of an article! Autohagiography at its worst. Bearian 16:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. Obviously this needs to be more or less scrapped in its current form and rewritten, but I think the designer is definitely notable. (BTW I started Knowledge:WikiProject Fashion.) I don't think the other voters looked through the sources for the article--one of them is vogue.co.uk, which has a full slideshow of her latest collection at London Fashion Week. Her show was an off-schedule one, but London Fashion Week is one of the four major fashion weeks in the world, and if Vogue magazine attends your show and posts pictures of your collection its website, you're pretty big news. Obviously she's a new designer (this is her first collection that Vogue posted a slideshow for online), but I think the other sources referenced (including and are at least enough for a short article. See also her website where she lists all the fashion magazines her designs have been used in--not necessarily articles, but if your clothes are in fashion spreads in Elle, I.D., Vogue, Vogue Italia, Vogue Russia, Glamour, InStyle, GQ, FHM, etc etc, you definitely should be covered here. Calliopejen1 10:06, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete. Seems to me like a standard business professional in a glamorous industry. Not notable enough yet, but she could easily get there soon. Uranometria 21:35, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Comment. If you are on Vogue's website, you are not a standard business professional. If you look in the drop-down box, you'll see they went to about 250 shows this season and took photos. This means that Vogue UK (one of the most important fashion magazines) thinks this woman is one of the 250 most important fashion designers in the world right now, which I think is decently notable in such a huge industry. If you were one of the top 250 actors in the world, to compare this to another profession, would certainly have a wikipedia page. I'm adding new references to a The Independent piece on her. There are certainly enough reliable sources to be had here... Calliopejen1 13:09, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete reads more like news or an advert. If you have to explain the notability in full detail to someone, then maybe they aren't that notable to begin with. Pharmboy 15:35, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Lets please keep this civil. We can disagree without being disagreable. Pharmboy 18:09, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep. The article has changed in major ways since its nomination. The subject meets WP:BIO by a) being the subject (or being the creator of the subject) of multiple reliable secondary sources and b)by being known for originating a significant new concept in that her fashion concepts have been recognized by the Centre for Fashion Enterprise (an internationally recognized institution) as being worth nurturing and retaining in London.

David L. Leamon (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

I'm sure a claim to having had the lobby of a local public library named after oneself is not enough to pass notability criteria, but I suppose it's enough to not be speedily deleted. Non-notable librarian, with no sources. — Coren  01:25, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. I think Mr. Leamon more than meets the criteria in WP:BIO. He has played a major role in co-creating, a significant or well-known work or collective body of work (multiple Libraries significant enough for you?) which have been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles, and he personally has been the subject of multiple independent periodical articles as well. Additionally, his work has become a significant monument within each community, 2 of his libraries have won significant critical attention and are internationally significant both architecturally and for the services they provide. If you go by the academic standards, he is repeatedly quoted in newspapers or newsmagazines , has appeared on CNN and is widely regarded as a significant expert in his area. Zafti 17:22, 24 July 2007 (UTC) — Safti (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
  • Keep on the basis of the building activity. Librarians dont get very often to design major new facilities, and to have planned two notable ones with major architects is quite distinctive. It's sometimes hard judging the work of administrators, but I think he's well over the bar. DGG (talk) 07:28, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep The article has expanded some and accumulated citations since being brought to AFD. The references are from two newspapers, but the set from one newspaper are not accessible, which is why I append Weak to my support. Assuming Good Faith, I would say that the subject passes the first WP:BIO criterion of being the subject of multiple secondary sources (I count the 6 articles being from 2 secondary sources in this case - which is why WP:AGF is needed). Having a part of a building named after you satisfies (weakly) satisfies a second of the WP:BIO criteria - receiving a significant recognized honor; people seek out having wings of buildings and rooms named after them as persistent marks of their influence. --User:Ceyockey (talk to me) 00:00, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

This is a text-book example of irredeemable WP:LISTCRUFT if I ever saw one. The underlying concept is not notable, and it's indiscriminate and arbitrary (why not before the age of 40? Or 60? What is "early age"?) — Coren  01:20, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Well, "List of wrestlers who died during a match" would be an analog. Also, please try to remember that the existence of one article is not a good reason to keep another. — Coren  01:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete or Merge: Would be made a lot better into a regular encyclopedia article, and not a list. It is something that's notable, but doesn't need to have a page to itself, especially when only six are mentioned and there are probably many more that can be found and included. At the moment it just seems like it was copied off another page (Old Assyrian Period?) and then filled in with the info of the wrestlers. Good idea, just poorly made and needs to be included in another way. - Kneel17 01:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Listcruft, pure and simple. Besides, who defines "early age"? Count this one out, ref. Realkyhick 02:28, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. That was fast. Didn't realize I wielded so much influence. :-) Even so, I'm not really thriled about this list, and I think it would be better sorted by name than by date, though I think there's a way you can set charts up to allow user sorting. I gotta say that there seems to be an inordinate amount of coverage of pro wrestling on Knowledge as a whole. However, I think this list now escapes the choke-hold of listcruft. (Choke-hold? Wrestling? Get it? Oh, never mind.) Realkyhick 02:59, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Yes, but take note that being dead is not at all notable, or list criteria, whereas the situation/circumstances surrounding your death may be. Calgary 03:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep First off, the article is improperly named. The appropriate title is List of professional wrestlers who have died during their career, as that is described by the article as criteria for inclusion. When you look at it that way, it seems to be of far greater value, as it is entirely objective, rather than subjective (For example, if Ric Flair were to die any time soon, he would still be included in the article, as although whether he is at an "early age" for death may be arguable, the fact that he is still an active professional wrestler cannot be disputed. Once you take that into consideration, I'd have to say that yes, the subject of of professional wrestlers who have died during their active careers is indeed notable enough for it's own list. Calgary 03:42, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
"Young" is ambiguous, "Early" is also ambiguous. As for "in their career", that would put the list to maybe 15 notable individuals at most. Wikidudeman 03:49, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

List of Monster in My Pocket characters (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Catalog listing of hundreds of figures in a toy range. It's a useless list as well, because none of the names link to articles about the toys. Indiscriminate information that belongs on a fansite, not an encyclopedia. Crazysuit 01:16, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete: per Crazysuit. Purely pointless... fairly entertaining list to look at, though. - Kneel17 01:23, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • delete - the "See also" section is hilarious - it includes a link to The Lesser Key of Solomon. The main Monster in My Pocket article is quite large, so I think merging is completely out of the question, whether someone can format it or not. I sympathize with anyone interested in this subject matter who says "but it's useful!"; but I think this is a little too much detail for Knowledge to have on this topic. Thus listcruft, thus delete. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:27, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: I was more or less forced to excise this from the Monster in My Pocket article, but without this, it ignores the rich lore that Monster ion My Pocket draws from. It's not a collection simply of famous monsters, but little-known monsters as well. To eliminate this makes no sense, especially when every Kinnikuman character is listed. There is nothing "hilarious" about a link to The Lesser Key of Solomon considering it is one of the sources from which Monster in My Pocket characters were drawn. Except for Warlock and Vampire, there really is not enough about the monsters that are unique to their MIMP presentations to make them more than supplementary information to the monster's main page. Had more materials, such as the announced live-action feature film, been made, that would be a valid argument. To delete this article is simply not thoughtful, as the whole point of the range is that they were "real" monsters, in the sense of all being pre-existing ideas in international culture before they were toys. Yes, it got sidetracked, but even the Super Creepies are based on real arthropods. --Scottandrewhutchins 15:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete, this should in a template or a category instead of a listcruft article.--JForget 16:43, 22 July 2007 (UTC)
  • But the point is to link to the entires on the monsters in wikipedia, as nearly all of them have an article. You people all seem to be missing the point. --Scottandrewhutchins 15:11, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - Knowledge articles are not mere collections of internal links. If there are reliable secondary sources that discuss these creatures in the specific context of MIMP then great, write an article on them. Otto4711 12:25, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
    • It was not simply a collection of internal links until it was reworked by someone else. It was originally "Characters of Monster in My Pocket" and I was forced to concede the change under the three-revert rule. With User:Spylab's changes reversed, it would be a work in progress and not simply a collection of internal links. --Scottandrewhutchins 16:23, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Apparent neologism. No sources at all. At best, a dicdef. Blueboy96 00:40, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete - appears to be a non-notable neologism. --Haemo 00:57, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Transwiki: change in thought... if it is not a neologism, it most certainly is a definition. - Kneel17 01:02, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Do Not Delete - Actually, this term has been in use for many years in these industries and one's lack of knowledge regarding it does not make it a neologism. It has also been called duking. By these standards, terms such as Meme, in this usage, would also be a neologism. elipo 21:30, 20 July 2007
  • Delete, I found similar results in Google News Archive ranging from an end-of-year bonus to a bribe. It's a fairly obvious phrase for transferring money, not so obvious why it would be so clearly limited to a certain usage within the restaurant industry, and no sources indicating it has been. --Dhartung | Talk 19:58, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

is there possibility of this becoming an encyclopedic topic? i doubt it Xorkl000 00:37, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

Delete - kind of original research topic. Miranda 00:51, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Delete Original research and no chance of becoming encyclopedic. Oysterguitarist 01:32, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
weak delete - I actually think it is an appropriate topic idea, though I can't see how an author would be able to generalize across all Africa. If one could really perform that generalization, though, and if the external research is out there to refer to (and I bet there's all sorts of African Women's Studies stuff out there), I think it would be a fantastic article for Knowledge to have. Unfortunately, this article isn't it. AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 01:38, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
Comment if there were any National Geographic references included within the context of the article, then that would be a different story, since verifying facts are shown. Miranda 02:26, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
To both of the above: There is a place called Africa. There are women in it. What experiences do African women share? Do they have a common condition? In what ways do African women's lives differ from each other, and do African women experience things that others do not? My suggestion is that this can be a referenced and encyclopedic article, because all those questions have (probably) been written about in Women's Studies programs all over. Although, like I said, the present article isn't doing a good job at all.AllGloryToTheHypnotoad 21:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete I could imagine an encyclopedic article under this title... but this isn't it, or even the start of it. Delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:36, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete talk about indiscriminate...this list could go on for billions of entries. VanTucky 22:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete Unfortunately. This would have been a very interesting article, although I think it would need to be completely re-started as there is OR and few sources. The lack of wikilinking, categories and poor writing would also justify the full restart of it.--JForget 17:58, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete You can tell which people vote to delete or to keep without even bothering to read the article, since there's no "list" involved at all and no clue as to why it was so titled. I did read it, it's not just a matter of being mistitled, and it is somewhat arbitrary to generalize about half of the residents of an entire continent. For those who judge a book only by its cover, spouting Knowledge slogans doesn't make up for it. Mandsford 01:34, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
