Logduz[edit]

This is non-notable. There are thousands of small villages in Russia, and most of them are historically or georgaphically insignificant. --GoOdCoNtEnT 23:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - it was an accident. --GoOdCoNtEnT 00:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Named places, including villages, are normally considered notable. TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 00:14, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Physical town, just happens to be in Russia. (There are thousands of small towns in the United States too) Unless reasoning for it being a hoax, I see no reason not to keep it. Kevin_b_er 03:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It's notable. If this article were to be deleted, what of articles like Euljiro 3-ga Station? Definitely keep. — † Webdinger ^{BLAH | SZ} 03:35, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment While I agree with keep, notability for subway stations is different than notability for small villages, and thus can't be compared. ColourBurst 05:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Definately notable. Bradcis 04:05, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep, all real places, tiny or huge, are notable. Not only we should include 1st world nations, but even developing and third world nations. That's the beauty of an online encyclopedia. --Terence Ong _{(T | C)} 05:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete Allow me to state the reasons why this article should be deleted.

  Firstly, this company has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself.

  Secondly, this company is not listed on ranking indices of important companies produced by well-known and independent publications.

  Thirdly, the article is very poorly written as well.

All these reasons stated clearly shows that this article does not meet WP:CORP. --Siva1979^{Talk to me} 05:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• "where people can send voice as a message instead of text." Isn't that a phone? Regardless, delete as adspam. It shows scant Google hits anyway, and being innovative is not the same as being notable. Aplomado ^talk 01:26, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep - the article itself is poorly written, probably by a non-native English speaker, but subject of the article has been written about by a mjor cell phone manufacturer Ercisson and made it on to Engadget with only a little bit of research. -- Whpq 03:24, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The brand is actually "Tequila Canicas" which has an identical article (Canicas). The Institute does exist, but the brand is not notable enough to merit an article anyway- even its own "In the press" section is largely ads and trivial mentions. Also, the Institute's website has no results for both "canica" and "canicas". --Wafulz 01:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Great Kathmandu[edit]

Advertisement. Would have WP:PROD'd but this article has a previous AfD closed as delete here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Great Kathmandu. The new article has references and pictures, but I don't think this qualifies as a notable eatery -- Samir धर्म 00:59, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Nomination withdrawn. Article has expanded and, despite the socks, there is assertion of notability that may be substantiated by more information forthcoming from the original author. I'll work on the article with the original author, and if it's still insufficient, I'll re-nominate -- Samir धर्म 12:08, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Have to disagree with Samir. It certainly is not an ad. the user who created must think it is important and notable. But to me, an Indian restaurant is non notable. --Ageo020 01:06, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete still not notable, and fails under WP:CORP and WP:V --Wafulz 01:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• KeepWeak Keep 500 google hits and the newspaper award make a fair (although not great) case for notability. I don't see how it fails WP:V. Weak on the WP:CORP count, but it's not spam. Irongargoyle 01:23, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment where is the WP:CORP in the article? "Winner of the Observer Reader's best Indian restaurant in the UK 2000" does not qualify as multiple non-trivial works published -- Samir धर्म 01:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment The Observer has been in circulation since 1791 and was the worlds first Sunday Newspaper so I regard its opinions very highly. Recent modifications should bring this articals WP:CORP up to speed. Harbourcoat 03:58, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment editor's first day and 10th contrib -- Samir धर्म 05:21, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment There is alot of information about the business on the site now and if you ask most people in the north west about the Great Kathmandu they will tell you of its importance. The detail contained with in is no different to most of the establishments listed on wikipedia and I for one have not heard of some of them either and feel they have less importance then this artical. if you check google the Great Kathmandu has over 900 hits and is one of the first to come up when you type nepalese and Didsbury. The fact that people have logged on just to comment about this deletion shows that they care enough about this artical. I have informed people at the AGM of the Yeti Assoc. The Yeti Assoc is a organisation that tries to promote Nepalese culture in the UK and the world. Expect to see more information added to the artical by its members and suporters. More Nepalese related articals will follow. Harbourcoat 11:43, 28 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dumbass productions, Alan Farrey, Dumbass: The Movie[edit]

^{[Check Google hits]} about 500. almost all of which are google video/myspace/angelfire/ other nonsense. Delete because it would be impossible to find reliable third-party sources, as well as failing WP:CORP (|-- UlTiMuS 01:07, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Added Alan Farrey and Dumbass: The Movie to this nom as they are all related NN junk, all of which get only blog/mirror hits. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:13, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Hi, I understand your concern. May I just clear one thing up, though, Dumbass Productions is not a jackass copycat group of people, if anything it's the antithesis of it. Real films are made by these guys and have been released, admittedly in small numbers, in Co. Leitrim. I really understand your concern and I hope we can find some sort of middleground. Wikipedia is a huge resource of information and I think we can find something we both agree on. Jiei 01:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Also! I know for a fact that the company is undergoing a name change to dispel the very associations which are the basis for you wanting to delete it. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jiei (talk • contribs) .
• Perhaps it would be wise if you read WP:V and WP:CORP so we're both on the same level about what is and isn't acceptable Wikipedia content. And I am not nominating this article because of the title, since that is not a valid deletion criterion. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The reason for deletion is no "Jackass copyism," but rather that the company and its products and staff are not notable enough for Wikipedia at this time. They do not meet criteria set out under WP:CORP or WP:BIO, and are also not verifiable. --Wafulz 01:20, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Who is to judge what is notable enough? There are very loose definitions and it's impossible to say! I can understand why some of what you say may breach various policies and guidelines but at the same time I feel it's far more notable than some stuff listed on Wikipedia. I shan't argue the deletion of Alan Farrey and Dumbass: The Movie but I request that Dumbass: Productions remains. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jiel (talk • contribs) .

• Who is to judge? The community. Which is what we are doing right here. And basically, what you're saying is: Don't delete, because there is much worse crap hanging around. And if that's the case, please help us and nominate that other stuff for deletion as well. (|-- UlTiMuS 01:34, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete all. I seriously doubt any of them will remain, Jiel. You give us no reason to care about the subject of the articles or say to ourselves, "Yes, this is worthy of an encyclopedia article." The best you've given us is a movie that won a monthly award from a random website. You've got to do better than that or the article is going to be removed. Aplomado ^talk 01:38, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

1. The reason for deletion of the original article is biased because of the connotations of the name, as shown by references to its ambiguity and the quality of similarly named "sites".

2. You do not need to care about it. This article is not relevant to you. I mean "random website" proves it - it's the biggest national Irish teen website. It is worthy of an encyclopedia article because Wikipedia is universal, international site and the article is relevant to a lot of people. This is the problem. It is not relevant to you, therefore you don't care and you have the power to delete it (or to request its deletion ;) ) Jiei 01:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Characters in Super Smash Bros. Melee[edit]

• Delete, the first half of the article is just a list of characters and their symbols, I've added their names to Image:SSBM-SelectScreen.png. The second part is game guide'ish explaining the characters attacks/special powers etc/moves how to do them etc - ". Falco's Up+B and Forward+B attacks aren't as long-ranged as Fox's". Suppose it's also fan-cruft. Not really an enyclopedic article, which is why I've nominated it. Andeh 22:17, 25 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Good luck dealing with the shitstorm that accompanies all game-related AfDs. Aplomado ^talk 01:45, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment And I so do wonder why people vote keep. Hmm, might be because most of the delete voters know nothing about the subject matter? Havok (T/C/c) 13:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep w/ cleanup. Even though Wikipedia is not a game guide, SSBM is one of the best-selling GameCube games and ranks in the top 10 on NP charts even after 4 years. It most likely is a Players' Choice title, too. The guidecruft needs to go, however, and should be made into prose. TrackerTV (CW|Castform|Green Valley) 01:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  If the game-guide content goes, then it's just a list of characters/symbols and some descriptions of the minor characters.--Andeh 01:57, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete A list of the playable characters on the main SSB:M page should suffice. –NeoChaosX (talk | contribs) 01:53, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. The SSBM page doesn't actually have a list of playable characters, so that will have to be added in. ColourBurst 03:14, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and Clean-up, maybe make it an article covering both SSBM and SSB so it's something like ""Characters from the Super Smash Bros. series". TJ Spyke 07:32, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete or smerge to Super Smash Bros. Melee: the only arguably encyclopedic information here is the actual character list, which could usefully be placed in the game article (which currently has more information about characters that didn't appear in the game than characters that did!). The characters themselves, all being be famous Nintendo characters or cameos from other games, should already all have their own articles or be described in the articles from their respective games, so there's absolutely no point having yet another article about them that will just end up being filled with random trivia and redundant information. — Haeleth Talk 10:25, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: A list of characters being spun off from an article on a popular beat em up is not unreasonable, but this list fails completely, concentrating on trivia such as alternative colour schemes, logos, redundant information ('Mario from the Mario series') and cameos from minor characters.--Nydas 15:30, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge and Cleanup As far as I know, all these characters are already present in other games. The main article needs a list of playable characters and the guidecruft needs to go. This would make it concise enough to go back in the main article. Quendus 16:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Nominator comment, it appears the main reason to keep is that it's a popular game. But does that mean it can have a game guide and other fan-cruft? Is it a ground-breaking or historical game? I agree with the major clean up and merge with Super Smash Bros. Melee, the characters from Super Smash Bros. are in the main article, surely this could be too.--Andeh 17:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Truncate and Merge There is an immense amount of information here that does not belong in an encyclopedic article (e.g. the degree of severity of Link's Up+B attack). There is a significant amount written in long-list style when a comma-separated list would do (like the #Characters symbols section). It seems like there is also quite a bit of original research (e.g. Tingle: A merry fairy wannabe character...). When all of this stuff is cut out, the rest should be merged into Super Smash Bros. Melee (as there shouldn't be too much left). -- tariqabjotu 03:36, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment The characters were originally moved out as they were taking up too much space in the SSBM article. I suppose I'll go for merge them back in and remove all the stupid cruft. Hbdragon88 05:23, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hers is as far as i know the only poker entrance in this encyclopedia based on only one performance that didnt involve victory. The precedent here is if she merits an inclusion then clearly every one from this and next years WSOP Main Event 1-15 should be included, which is farcical.Further, those who finished 4th ,6th 7th and 8th in the same competition don't have their own entry.Cardigan3000 07:05, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Please note that skill is not a requirement for someone to have an article. Whether Williamson is a good player or a bad one should not affect the decision on whether the article exists or not. Furthermore, the TV highlights that showed her in a poor light only represent a fraction of the total hands played, and it would therefore be inaccurate to base her entire playing ability on that appearance, particularly as she has coped admirably in other TV events she has appeared in. Essexmutant 07:17, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Skill may or not be required by to confirm notability, however the only notable thing about her is her performance in a competitive pursuit. There are several sites that explain in detail her poor play, in fact several unfathomably bad plays which may have removed her from the tournament before her relatively unremarkable 15th place. The only other reference to her poker play is a 1st place in a 6 player table of speed poker (heat1, she finished last in the semi final) , which is about as low grade of a victory as you can have, her profit from the tournament was 500 pounds. So there are no TV events according to the Hendon Mob database apart from this. The only thing notable about her is her result in one competition, and that is a 15th place.Cardigan3000 09:10, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep Now, let's make this clear: I'm a huge poker fan. We're talking hardcore. We're talking playing in biweekly games and watching it on TV whenever possible. With that said, Williamson is- in my opinion- barely notable enough for WP. As stated above, she came in 15th (and was also the highest finishing woman), but that really doesn't confirm notability. Yes, the competition had 5,619 players, so coming in 15th is amazing, but it's not as if she was top three. So I was going to argue deletion until I thought of the criteria for sportspeople, one of which is playing at the highest professional level of one's sport. Even if it was only for a week, and Williamson never does anything spectacular in poker ever again (which, after watching the WSOP many times, wouldn't shock me), she still played at the absolute highest level of poker. As a result, I've decided that the article is worth keeping, but only by a hair. -- Kicking222 11:31, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Relisting: the (previous AfD of 23 August 2006) was closed early with no consensus because the article had been deleted, but it was then recreated (albeit in a shortened form). The original citation by Friday read:

"Vanity page about an academic, full of stuff like "Cohen describes herself as "math prof / mathematician / poet / writer / classical pianist /thrift-shopper / mother / grandmother / scrabbler extraordinaire". Sure, a sucessfull career as an academic, but unless having a job euqals notability, there's not much of substance here.

Can you establish why she is notable as a writer? Right now the criteria for that is this:

Published authors, editors and photographers who received multiple independent reviews of or awards for their work

I can see pretty clearly that her books definitely exist, but other than that, I see one possible non-trivial independent review, and no notable awards.

• Comment I don't believe the article yet evidences multiple independent reviews of the sort that are meant. The MentalHelp.net one is a solid independent review. The Temple University Press one looks like it is - but on closer inspection they are the publisher of the book in question, so the review can't be called independent. Whe WISSP and Greenwood things don't muster up to being reviews in my eyes. 05:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
• Strong keep. This person is clearly notable if for no other reason than as an author. Amazon.com is often useful in finding independent reviews (I don't mean reviews by users, it lists "Editorial reviews") see [11] [12] . See also [13] & [14] (these are listed in the external links). Has anyone bothered to search the academic literature? (most of which is not google searchable). Mikker ^(...) 11:22, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Weak Keep. While she is obviously a prolific writer, I'm not sure that she's a notable one. The combination of her lterary works outside of her field (mathematics) argues a kind of notability, though. Since she did not create the page, I don't feel it is vanity or intentional self-promotion. --Dennette 13:30, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To be a notable musician, one has to accomplish more than simply play with someone who's famous. I mean, if he recorded a solo project, or was featured in a reputable magazine of some kind, maybe. As it stands, I don't see how he can be determined notable to warrant his own article. By the way, an IMDB page isn't reason enough to keep his article.

• So, just because you only recieved 3 hits from google when you searched for our site, you have the right to mark the article for deletion? That is not what the internet is about. You are not being responsible when you mark things for deletion. You didnt even look at the fact that we are a site that is still growing. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .

• If you are a site that is still growing, then it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. WP articles are reserved for notable, well established subjects, not growing ones. That's just how it is. (|-- UlTiMuS 03:40, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
• Well I have read the deletion policies and no where does it say that an article needs to be removed because a user feels it isn't notable. You're biased because our site is for gay, bi, and lesbian people. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .
• It's a factual article, it's not absurd, it's not biased, it's there for anyone that's interested in it. It's not a joke, and it's not in any way misleading. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Kshoaf (talk • contribs) .

• Delete because I'm biased against gay, bi and lesbian people. That, of course, could be the only reason.

User:Zoe|(talk) 03:48, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• This is kind of funny, because I'm not "straight", so theoretically I should support this article as staying, but on WP you have to throw your biases away and it just doesn't meet the notability criteria.

• Oh, Jesus, another one of these deletion discussions: "I had no idea you actually had rules about what gets kept and what doesn't, and I resent it very much that you actually try to enforce them." Plus the homophobia angle (which is ridiculous, as these people can attest).
  Read WP:WEB. According to Alexa (which does have its limitations as a measure of popularity, we're aware), you're not even in the top 100,000 sites. I know the page says that's not reliable, but let's face it if you were really a high-traffic site you'd probably be here already.
  Now, within the criteria , and considering that Wikipedia already has a few articles on gay websites, can you tell us and show sources to prove that your site is notable? Has it been the subject of media coverage? Is it run by someone notable? Does its content get reproduced elsewhere? Show us. Daniel Case 03:55, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also regarding the idea of creating the article every time it is deleted won't work because pages can be proetect against recreation if you try that. Its not going to work and if a page was a simple recration it would be speedy deleted much faster than this.

Consider that many of these, particularly this one, are related to campaigns. A few weeks after November they will effectively be dead. In a year they will no longer be encyclopedic, particularly if the candidate loses. Any news generated by the blog can thus effectively be dealt with in the article about the official supported. We considered that sort of thing when WP:WEB was created. Blogs need to be lasting to be notable. The Daily Kos is perhaps the acme of a notable political blog. This is a long way from that.
As for their novelty, consider that in a few years they will be standard, perhaps meriting their own section in articles about political campaigning and such and an external link but not a separate article, IMO, no more than the individual classrooms in a school building would.

Surch[edit]

Advertisement for a non-notable website, fails WP:WEB. Not that Alexa is an accurate reflection of notability, but since the article mentions it, the site only ranks 73,378 currently [27].

• Include The page has been completely changed and the issues that you have talked about are taken out. But im going to disagree. Alexa is a widely used tool on the net and a creditable reference. There are many pages on wikipedia that list alexa. in addition you are referring to googles backlinks but not taking into account that they update on a whim when they want and how they want.... pagerank has not updated in almost 4 months so that is a completely unfair bias. Did you check msn or yahoo? Surch's traffic is far beyond most sites so the suggestion that it’s unknown is simply not true. I understand the issues with the first article but they have been changed.

  In addition, surch's alexa rating of 73K is a 3 MONTH average... todays total was 32K and our page views per user was higher than googles. So while we are new and our userbase is not that of the big3 it is growing and our users are consistent.

  I hope this helps. --Surch 08:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Though the article does look somewhat better than it did when I first nominated it, it's still lacking sources. While I can appreciate that Surch might be a useful tool, unless there are reliable sources out there that review the site, or something else that makes the article meet WP:WEB/WP:CORP, the article cannot be included at this time. Additionally, I believe the editors above that refer to crystal-balling mean that a lot of the reasoning for inclusion of the article is based not on what the website/company has accomplished, but what it expects to -- in other words, that Surch isn't yet well-known, but will be. Let me state that although I still feel the article should be deleted at this time, I have no prejudice against recreation in the future if Surch turns out to be wildly successful and then meets criteria for inclusion (and I wish Surch well in this respect). --AbsolutDan ^(talk) 14:28, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: I understand but there are hundreds of thousands of sites listed on wikipedia that have nowhere near the audience that surch has. In fact our Alexa rating today was 18K... Again, 8.9 page views per user. Alexa IMO is creditable enough. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=surch.com&url=surch.com Please check todays totals then look at page views per user. Surch has not made in that page any reference to what it expects to do rather what it IS doing. I would suggest a site that gets well over a million uniques a day to be VERY well known. You make suggestion to "wildly successful" show me any site that is other than fortune 500's and then why dont you delete all the rest..that would leave wikipedia with say maybe a few thousand sites. --Surch 21:46, 26 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - "I understand but there are hundreds of thousands of sites listed on wikipedia that have nowhere near the audience that surch has.": Then nominate them for deletion. "Alexa IMO is creditable enough. http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_details?q=surch.com&url=surch.com" - It's not. Google, with terms "surch search engine" displays your site, and some review on 5 Star Affiliate marketing program. "You make suggestion to "wildly successful" show me any site that is other than fortune 500's and then why dont you delete all the rest..that would leave wikipedia with say maybe a few thousand sites." - Something Awful, FARK, Slashdot, Neopets, the list goes on and on. The page was created with the purpose of advertising. If and when the site is notable, put it back, add some sources, and maybe we'll go from there. Wooty 00:09, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fair enough. I suppose you are, to a point, correct. I will repost when surch meets the standards of Wikipedia. Although Wooty, its funny that you only reference google. I think someone once said... "We are all nothing but a flock of sheep, a button collar starched and bleached." In addition...Who was it, the macintosh boys that were turned down for VC by some no-name banker? Hrm. Funny that. I suppose at this point I will ask that surch be deleted.

Comment There are problems with Google, sure, but at the moment it's the best way to determine notability, unless you've got a bunch of links from notable websites handy. I appreciate your understanding, and I wish your project well. Regards, Wooty 06:21, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]
