Found loose in Category:Wikipedia articles needing translation. Don't know which language. Kusma (討論) 01:59, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just a wild guess... It's using the arabic alphabet, so I'll guess... arabic? It could also be Farsi, I think, but it's probably arabic. There's also the english word Glaucoma in it, which doesn't have an equivalent article in arabic wiki; my hypothesis is that this is an article meant for the arabic wiki, and we should move it. СПУТНИКССС Р 02:29, 23 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's definitely not Arabic - it uses a number of letters found only further east; but I'm not sure which language it is. ColinFine 00:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Notice - - I have revised the page. This renders all of the comments irrelevant. Like beating a dead horse, you know. Leon Winer, Feb. 12, '06

Notability only marginally established through mention of "book" authorship, which turns out to be a 12-page university publication. However, my main concern is that the article is self-authored and therefore probable vanity. See Wikipedia:Vanity_page for more information. --Alan Au 00:17, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Odin Brotherhood[edit]

del nonverifiable, It looks like only Mark Mirabello who wrote a book with the same title can say something about it. Since the article was created by a user:Mmirabello, I smell original research, too. mikka (t) 01:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sure, to boost the sales of the book; it would be a good idea. Are there any independent confirmations of rich fantasy of Professor? Please read the policy wikipedia:Verifiability. mikka (t) 02:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note about this AfD[edit]

Tracking all mentions of an entry or link across wikipedia and deleting them before the AfD is even completed is a form of harassment. I also perceive users placing 7 warning templates on the entry as a form of malicious harassment. There seems to be a total lack of assuming good faith and civility by many here, as well as the most severe violations of attacking new comers which I have ever seen. The editor has less than 25 edits, and has only been a member of wikipedia for three days. He doesn't even know how to sign his name with four tildes (look at the top of this page). This entry was not even 10 minutes old, before it was submitted for AfD. I think we need to wait and see if he is going to add further content, verifiable sources and clean up the entry - or whether it should be merged into another article. Contrary to what has been stated here, I have heard about this alleged secret society elsewhere in print and even on a radio show. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Dab and myself are in fact the only editors who have voted in this AfD who have edited or contributed content at wikipedia about Germanic Neopaganism, Ásatrú, Odinism, Odinic Rite, Polytheistic Reconstructionsim, etc. and I feel that those who have not contributed to these subjects do not know if it is relevant or not because they don't know the subject matter whatsoever. Relax everyone. HroptR 16:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I do have knowledge about the topic. That I do not edit on these topics does not matter. --KimvdLinde 17:06, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Valid point; just because someone doesn't have anything to add to an article is no basis to automatically assume they have no knowledge of the subject matter.--Isotope23 17:15, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Most earlier contributions went through 146.85.84.60 contributions. Just for completness sake. --KimvdLinde 17:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So he has been editing since the 3rd of February? How does this justify harassment? Regardless, of your expertise on the subject matter, NPOV dictates even more discretion if you find it personally disagreeable. HroptR 17:27, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am sorry, but Wikipedia is not a list of links to all possible (fantasy) books written on a certain topic. --KimvdLinde 17:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Some well made points HroptR and I apologise to Mr Mirabello for biting... Still, as the creator of the page is clearly monitoring the debate one might reasonably expect any changes to happen quickly. We all appreciate very few among us have knowledge of this, perhaps because it is an inherently niche topic. We all want to promote our own interests (and commercial publications) but don't lose sight of whether this is really a topic for WP... It's a promo for a book, and would need to be completely rewritten to become some kind of objective article about the society, a society which you state is "alleged" to exist, and therefore doesn't sound extremely verifiable. ++Deiz 18:55, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Clean up[edit]

I have gone through and done a quick wikification of the article, so it is a book entry and not an advertisement. I ask editors to consider whether this should be redirected to Mark Mirabello (which also needs clean up) or elsewhere, and whether it is NPOV at this point. HroptR 19:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So you are advocating purging all reference to him on wikipedia? You stated: Neither have I gotten any verification from within the Asatru or Odinist community that this group exists which community would this be? I don't think the argument is whether the group exists or not, but whether mention of a book should be purged because the content is questionable. Deleting the biography just seems like sheer malice. HroptR 20:33, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I am talking about deleting an AUTObiography Wikipedia:Auto-biography, in clear conflict with the policies of Wikipedia. And to answer your question, the Asatru/Odinist community in Europe and the USA where I am part off. --KimvdLinde 20:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC) It was an error on my site. --KimvdLinde 14:27, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You might want to revise that - the person who authored the Mark Mirabello entry Stege1 has commented at the talk page. To wit: Mark Mirabello did not write the entry as stated in the nomination for deletion. HroptR 01:49, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, you are talking about deleting an autobiography in clear conflict with the GUIDLINES of Wikipedia. Strongly discouraged, but NOT absolutely forbidden. And if HroptR is correct, not an autobiography in the first place. Jcuk 09:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Now: No opinion. Mandrake of Oxford is a vanity press, as such its publications are not inherently notable and likely to be inherently non-notable. Ikkyu2 21:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

User:Monicasdude asserts Mandrake is not in fact a vanity press. I have no way to verify this, so I've changed my opinion to No opinion. I note that [Mandrake's own web page], while maintaining a pretense of editorial standards, requests that books be submitted in ready-to-print CRC format, and can require authors to pre-order a quantity of books; a reputable publishing house would never permit either of these practices.

Hey Ik, if you mean was I responding you then I wasn't (we seem to be in agreement here) and have reformatted.. otherwise...? ++Deiz 00:03, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Now that it's cleaned up it's clearly nn. Comparing one's lack of sourcing to biblical prophets just proves the point: when the book sells as many copies as theirs has, re-submit the article. Carlossuarez46 23:47, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice try User: butterflyblues or should I say , User: dogbytes12 or should I say User: warhammer, but faking votes does not help you out, see for the trace that you just left here: [15] See also history for attempt to hide the fake voting by removing my and the fake entries. --KimvdLinde 04:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Desperate newbie / sock-meatpuppet scramble eh?? Nothing lends more credibility to a page than that... Been making some new friends HroptR?? ++Deiz 04:24, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
I do not think it was HroptR, but some students from the university that like the professor very much (nothingb wrong with that). One of them made the page about him. When one of them got hold of the deletion request, things started. HroptR is sincere as far as I can tell, strong in his arguments, but not deceptive or anything bad. --KimvdLinde 04:29, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, and please nobody think I'm accusing HroptR of anything, just remarking that the new postings mention him. ++Deiz 12:59, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
In this bizare play that is curently at stage, I just wanted to clarify things. --KimvdLinde 15:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment:Sockpuppetry and stacking votes is not my modus operandi. I know plenty of established wikipedia users I could encourage to vote or comment, but I have not. Mob rule is still mob rule. For me personally, not citing sources and verifiable research has undone this book entry, not group consensus or lack of notability. However, I think there is a fine line between fanatical deletionism and revisionism. People are being way too emotional about this on both sides of the issue. HroptR 16:04, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • That's interesting, a link to sources which verify that claim would be useful. ++Deiz 02:08, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • It can be verified at an obscure and little-used site, www.amazon.com. Here's a link to the previous, fourth, edition [16]. Monicasdude 02:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FBI library. I have found that as well. But that is not surprising as some Asatruer/Odinists are neonazi in line with the misuse of our symbols during Nazi Germany, so I can imagine that the FBI would indeed get everything available. But I think we are digging very deep at the moment, and yes, we will find some stuff..... --KimvdLinde 02:41, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yeah, we'll discover that the previous edition of the book was published by Holmes Publishing (who seem to have no website) and has a sales rank of #1,509,755. Far from being "little-used" and "obscure", Amazon is actually quite popular and well-known. Probably because it does more than sell books about the occult and Norse secret societies... ++Deiz 08:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I am not accusing you of adding the fake stuff. I am only saying that as soon as the word came out at the university, it started to rain anonymuous and new people at this page. I will change the wording to take away the confusion. Sorry for the misunderstanding. --KimvdLinde 15:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hey AdelaMae. I don't think any recons would subscribe to the Odin Brotherhood just because of the occult elements and secret society bit. For what it's worth, it is on the reading list of several neo-heathen Asatru /Odinist groups like the AFA with a blurb: "a fascinating, poetic, visionary, and many suspect, metaphorical, look at Odinic religion" and is mentioned on several Asatru webistes and forums briefly like this one. The radio show from Odin Lives linked in the article goes into the works impact as well as the veracity of the order. I just think it is a poor precedent to delete fringe authors because their works or beliefs aren't seen as valuable to the mainstream. Many subcultures are not highly represented on the internet. HroptR 20:14, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note to new editors:[edit]

There appears to be many editors who have edited anonymously or have created a username solely to vote on this issue. While we appreciate your concern and passion about this issue, unfortunately the input of new users does not have much weight in these matters, because you are not yet a contributing member of Wikipedia.

Also, it is expressly against Wikipedia policy to create more than one user account to affect the outcomes of deletion discussion or AfD. This is called sock puppetry. This practice is highly frowned upon by your fellow Wikipedia editors and is expressly discouraged by Wikipedia Policies and Guidelines.

Furthermore, every computer on the internet has a unique IP address, which in most instances, can identify the specific computer and the physical location used to make edits. If numerous editors in a vote all have the same IP address, this is evidence of sock puppetry, and your votes will not be counted. You could also be blocked from editing in the future. You are not completely anonymous!

From Wikipedia:Sock puppetry:

The Arbitration Committee has ruled that, for the purpose of dispute resolution, when there is uncertainty whether a party is one user with sockpuppets or several users with similar editing habits they may be treated as one user with sockpuppets.

I encourage you to stick around Wikipedia and contribute to the project, regardless of the outcome of this vote. - HroptR 22:52, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT Wild debate. Note that the book has a sales rank of 9,395 at Buy.com [[18]] Maybe its rank is lower at amazon because smart people look for deals--it is cheaper at buy.com! --146.85.84.60 01:35, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


COMMENT. The Oera Linda reference above is interesting. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oera_Linda The book has its name from the Linden family. Is it coincidence that Mirabello's middle name is "Linden"? --146.85.84.60 03:27, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Apparently a favourable coincidence to you since you have been adding (and been reverted in each case) links to The Odin Brotherhood in numerous articles here at Wikipedia. Please stop doing so. → P.MacUidhir (t) (c) 03:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

COMMENT. Here is the link to the FBI Library Collection. Type "Odin Brotherhood" or "Mirabello" to find it. http://fbilibrary.fbiacademy.edu/webopac/cgi/swebmnu.exe?act=3&ini=splusweb So, if the Odin Brotherhood does not exist, why is the FBI reading about it?

  • I'm not entirely sure what you're trying to prove here 146.85.127.124. If you're suggesting that new sources have come to light which will enable you (you're clearly some kind of expert) to write an encyclopedic, verifiable, unbiased and objective article on this topic then maybe you should stop piling stuff onto this AfD page and DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE ARTICLE WHICH HAS BEEN NOMINATED FOR DELETION. The majority of editors on this page know nothing and care even less about Odinism. What we do want to see are submissions which belong in Wikipedia. As it stands the article flies in the face of several of WP's criteria for inclusion and if you tot up the opinions of experienced editors (per the warning at the top of the page and the "Notes to new editors" piece by HroptR, several "editors" opinions will be discounted due to the evidence of sockpuppetry) you'll see the article could do with less hot air and more hard work. ++Deiz 01:32, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

Paul Kelly (ecologist)[edit]

I believe this to be a non-notable bio, although the article does attempt to assert some notability. I've had some discussions on the talk page with the article's creator regarding sources, but those that were provided (such as the "very exasperated person in the White House who reads his letters then hands them to the president") don't really fit the criteria at WP:V. Joyous | Talk 03:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Christian Jantzen[edit]

Seems to be an nn sports reporter. Article is orphaned and unverified. A Google search for "Christian Jantzen" "SBS television" brings up only 1 hit. In addition, article reads suspiciously like a copyvio. Abstain for now, will take into account further arguments first.

Not hearing of Jantzen, I'll give you some leeway, although most sports fans should certinaly know him. But not hearing of Doran makes me question your interest in sports because he is a big name in journalism, radio and TV. That was just an example the Max Walker one, but there are many American journalists you could search for that are as notable or less notable than Jantzen that would get a much higher number of Google hits for the simple fact they are based in America where there is information on everyone. Australia doesn't have a huge presence on the Net compared to America. Search for "AFL DVD's" and the game's huge popularity does not give the expected amount of hits.

Philippine Cyberservices Corridor[edit]

Delete for two reasons. One, this is definitely already a promotional article, no matter how one salvages it, and wikipedia is not a promotional tool. The corridor is not even notable. There are so many tech facilities spread out all over the country, the whole country is a corrider? The Philippines also does not have a high technology district, that can be compared to Silicon Valley, even just in notability. Two, part of its title "cyberservices" is not used in technical or mainstream in any language, other than by its marketing inventors, see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Cyberservices. Note to everyone, I am Filipino, and I am not race bashing.

Simply put, it does violate 2 sections of policy. Deliberately promoting what is definitely 'not there, and predicting way too far in the future. A new administration can change alot. I rephrased in order to not sound offensive to any newbies. ;) --Noypi380 10:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a high-technology business district, the same as the others listed in this Wikipedia entry. This deserves its own entry as much as the rest.

Its not a high-technology business district, its 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga. Pls try comparing that to Silicon Valley. That distance is almost the 9/10's of our country! Definitely not notable. --Noypi380 09:39, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

If we were to pursue logic of Noypi380, we would have to delete all other entries in the category High-technology_business_districts as well. The reason why Noypi380 has targeted this entry is his/her anti-Filipino attitude, as can be seen from his/her other posts.

I'm not anti-Filipino coz I am Filipino, and proud of it. I challenge you to cite a post that is anti-anything. My user name "Noypi" when reversed is "Pinoy", which at home is short for Pilipino (Tagalog), or Filipino in English. Pls read all of my work before you judge me. Pls see our Filipino community portal. The corridor is also not a high technology district, the Philippines has none, and I am a Filipino who is honest about that. :) --Noypi380 09:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You may be right about Noypi380. For this person to say "the corridor is not even notable" is a contradiction to the Philippine president's statement that over 100,000 people are employed in the corridor. It seems this person is biased against the Philippines, and I would not be surprised if this person comes from a country that competes with the Philippines for offshore work.

Why target the Philippines? Why is Noypi380 silent about other corridors in other countries?

Pls try to compare the corridor which is 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga with Silicon Valley. That is almost the 9/10's of our country! The government is trying to make our whole country a corridor? Truthfully, no. --Noypi380 09:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What is going on is the government is taking credit for those over 100,000 tech workers. Those over 100,000 are being employed in tech-related enterprises, spread out all over the country. The government conveniently credited themselves, by calling it all a "corridor", as if the government planned it ahead of time. That is why it is not notable, and it would be more politically correct to remove it. Silicon Valley is definitely a corridor. Though I am Filipino, I am the first person who would admit that there no such place in our country remotely like Silicon Valley, no matter what the government labels it. --Noypi380 09:28, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Lastly, I believe that the votes about this point, 2 votes and comments all in all, are from one and the same person, source, or organization. Wikipedia is not for promotion! Even though its from the government!--Noypi380 10:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, I'm not with the government. Heck, I don't even like the government. I'm certainly not Dondi, either. I'm Mike Abundo, from mikeabundo.com. --Mikeabundo 11:56, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was not refering to Dondi, source does not matter, that article is clearly promotion. Articles in wikipedia must be notable, or are expected to be notable! Its not even notable in the Philippines! --Noypi380 12:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Note: I am the author of the article)

That is the problem, there is no intended district, just 600 miles of country, in a small country. It is not a notable tech/business district because it is not a district at all. The article is like a hypothetical United States Tech corridor from San Francisco to Chicago! All that land is a corridor!? --Noypi380 12:50, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is a scientific research corridor called the International Northeast Biosciences Corridor that stretches from Quebec to Connecticut, over 1000 miles. Yes, all that land is a corridor! Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes sir, but pls compare further. Firstly Mr. Commissioner, is your corridor existing, or is just hype? Does the effort at its current stage, if ever, warrant an article in Wikipedia, or just in local newspapers? Just because the plan is big does not mean it should be in Wikipedia already. Wait and see. The goal is too far off, too unpredictable. Or can you say "600 miles of fiber optic cable" is equal to "the corridor", and then put an article here on the whole corridor? No sir. It is best that the article only exist if/when that dream is almost a reality, unless crystal balls are back in fashion. Secondly, the article cannot deliberately mislead readers promoting what is not there. Perhaps, alot have already been mislead. --Noypi380 09:39, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Please check the link to the 2005 State of the Nation Address. Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I checked it now (although it's not really a link to the text of the Address itself, but a link to the Executive Summary of the address), and I stand corrected. Perhaps it would be better to talk of this Corridor NOT as a defined land area (as the article says), which perhaps is the source of Noypi's delete vote. I would say Keep if the article is reworded to include the following information from the Executive Summary of the SONA:
"Philippine CyberServices Corridor, an ICT belt stretching 600 miles from Baguio City to Zamboanga which is envisioned to provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards."
Noelle De Guzman 02:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Although President Arroyo mentioned about a "cyberservices corridor" in the speech cited on the page, it is only but a mere concept. The Philippine Cyberservices Corridor does not even exist yet in reality as of yet. Also, the chosen resource in itself is faulty. If President Arroyo talks about the concept of the Philippine Cyberservices Corridor, that does not mean that the corridor exists, even if she tries to promote forming a corridor by the end of her term. As of now, while cyberservices are booming, there is no concrete proof that the corridor even exists.

--Akira123323 14:30, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

P.S.: Just for the record, I'm a Filipino too. I may be critical of the concept but that does not mean I am anti-Filipino, judging by the comments I read above.

-Actually, as with the International Northeast Biosciences Corridor that stretches from Quebec to Connecticut, only selected locations are allowed to call themselves part of the corridor. Specific criteria must be met. Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That is the precisely the point Mr. Commissioner, international readers may be misled that the thing is up, or is going to built soon, when you compare it to such examples. It seems you are still planning you're corridor. For now, it would be best to remove this article, and build a new one when you're corridor is nearly finished. Your successor might even change its name, there are so many unpredictables. Am I right to assume that you do not yet have the criteria for selecting locations for the corridor? We cannot promote what is not yet there, sir. It might not be even notable when it already built. That is why the article should not exist, yet. :)--Noypi380 09:52, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
good suggestion. will implement. some salient facts to point out!
-the backbone of the corridor (fiber optic network) was established in the late '90s via the telecomms deregulation
-the true resource of the corridor are the people, product of decades of enlightened educational policies
-the job generation was the result of a conscious effort of government to attract investors by establishing financial incentives and special economic zones
-promotion of the industry has been spearheaded by trade missions led by senior government officials since the late '90s
-for cities to be recognized as bonafide locations within the corridor, there is a defined process and criteria Dondi 18:34, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Where are the process and criteria set out, so we can all see the source for the assertion? Noelle De Guzman 02:41, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, it is there... the land is there. There is controversy on its characteristics but the stretch of land does exist. Even if it not what the President of the Philippines claims the fact that it is important for her government indicates the general importance of the topic. --Vizcarra 00:30, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I also thought of using an NPOV tag too, but I still seriously doubt that the article should be here in wikipedia. Pls allow me to clarify the terms first since there is a confusion, I was not able to speak properly when I read those offensive comments, and I was emotionally swayed. --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
For the moment let us all call the corridor "PCC". There are two PCCs in question here. One is the planned future PCC, which is based on a source, (only the presidential speeches). The other one is the "current" PCC, (subject of the article before you edited it). That "current" PCC is not sourced, is not planned, is not a district, and it does not exist, never mind about the area. That is why I argue against its notability, because there is none. Speaking in an NPOV way, it violates this policy. The one who started that article is also a government official in our country who is responsible for promoting the local industries. I apologize that he is promoting now something that is not there, and is also in doubt. On the future planned PCC which is not the subject of the article, that I concede is notable. However it is just a plan. Over 50% of long term government plans in the Philippines do not push through, even elections, and on that regard, that is why users Noelle, and Akira, and Coffee, all Filipinos, voted delete. We only start important Philippine-related articles only when we are already sure it is almost built, as too avoid this violation. That is how we do things in order to accomodate wikipedia's policies. The future PCC is a long time away, and "PCC" is certainly not the correct name in the future, and that is assuming we are using the PCC as defined in the speeches. The article was deliberately misleading, sourcing the "planned" PCC, and saying that is already here to a "current" PCC, which does not exist, and I was vehemently against. That is basically all of it in NPOV. That is why I urge everyone to delete it already. It can be brought back anyway, in perhaps 5-10 years time, assuming all goes well. But for now, it is a soapbox, stuck with little useful data --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On the anon user, and Mr. Commissioner (User Dondi). I am disappointed that both of you did not assume good faith, when I proposed the AfD. You both deliberately attacked me even though you both knew that I am Filipino, even calling me anti-Filipino which is a common stereotypical tactic used by government officials against opponents. It is worse when it comes from people of your age and status. I hope it does not happen again. More importantly why can't you just contribute in the article called Business process outsourcing in the Philippines, an article that is supposed to accomodate, without being a soapbox, the sector you are working in. --Noypi380 07:02, 11 February 2006 (UTC) Out of line myself, pls observe, good faith thanks. --Noypi380 03:18, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Reiterating my decision to delete, a piece of evidence that I found can probably explain why:
"The development of the Philippine CyberServices Corridor which shall provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards was pursued. The Corridor, which is connected by a US$10 billion high bandwidth fiber backbone and digital network, shall serve as a “one destination” for investors, stretching 600 miles from Baguio to Zamboanga. Certain areas have been declared as ICT hubs with high-speed networks and connectivity: (Pasig-Ortigas, Makati, UP-Ateneo-Eastwood, Alabang-Paranaque, Subic-Clark, Cebu-Asia Town Park, University Belt, Davao). Additional 9 areas have been identified as potential ICT hubs: Leyte, Camarines Sur, Pangasinan, Iloilo City, Baguio City, Davao, Zamboanga, General Santos City and Cagayan de Oro." (THE 2005 ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE ARROYO ADMINISTRATION, 2005)
What I question is that why would an article talk about a concept that is only a concept and does not physically exist. It is concedable that the Arroyo administration is pursuing the corridor, but pursuit of a concept does not mean that such a concept exists in reality. In fact, there is still no hard evidence that the PCC even exists except for the concept. Note that the first line of that quote mentions "The development of the Philippine CyberServices Corridor which shall provide a variety of cyberservices at par with global standards was pursued". Pursuit, as mentioned earlier, is not tantamount to formation. President Arroyo herself did not even give a timeline on when the PCC concept would finally take shape and when it would be completed. Because of that, it's still a non-existant concept and I still stand by my decision to delete. --Akira123323 07:51, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Thanks for your considered responses and explaining the distinction between the current vs proposed PCC -- the Wikipedia article definitely confuses the two (I have not yet checked to verify your claim that the two are indeed distinct). If indeed "over 50% of long-term government plans" are empty "electoral promises" then that should be mentioned in the article. I did not previously see the article Business process outsourcing in the Philippines - that is a very appropriate article. Merge to Business process outsourcing in the Philippines. Again, let me remind you that the existance of a Wikipedia article (or section of an article) on a subject does not make it "better" or give it more credence, it can also be bad. Corporations often advertise on Wikipedia, only to have their article become a description of all its horrible business practices rather than a description of the things it sells. For example, if President Aroyyo has made promises in regard to the PCC / PCC proposal that she does not hold, then this could serve as documentation for future reference that she failed her promises. Quarl (talk) 2006-02-12 13:40Z
Yes, thank you very much. :) --Noypi380 00:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It seems another option is to remove the categorization of the article from the High Tech Business Districts. With regard to suggestion to merge to Business process outsourcing in the Philippines, this would not be acceptable as Cyberservices is more than just BPO. With regard to crystal-balling, this is not acceptable as the $10B high bandwidth telecomm backbone already exists and can be verified physically, as well as the call centers and other companies mentioned in the article. There is actually going to be a MOA signed between the governors and mayors within the next 60 days to formalize the existence of such corridor on a local/regional level (it is already part of national policy on a country level). Upon such signing, article will be updated. Dondi 07:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Mr Commissioner, but the work you are doing now in office is not equal to the "corridor". Telecom backbone + call centers + contracts is not equal to a "present" corridor (subject of article, non-existent) and is not equal to a "future" corridor (based on vague speeches of president who can be deposed even tommorrow). See how deceiving? I urge you to vote delete, and don't worry if it is removed. I'll help you out create encyclopedic articles related to the Philippine information/communication technology industry. Pls, I mean pls, vote delete, based on the reasons I said. I hope you change your mind. :) --Noypi380 00:38, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. --Akira123323 22:08, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In that case let's delete Superman 3, and all of the Category:2007 films... just kidding. --Vizcarra 22:42, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's an unfair comparison. Read the text above again, particularly my discussion with Quarl. This is clearly not like Category:2007 films or Category:2007 elections. Those things are almost certainly going to be done in 2007. The films have definite release dates, even down to the hour in so many countries. The elections have poll voting and counting schedules planned beforehand, with contingencies. The future "corridor", assuming the sources, does not even have a deadline, and has so many other uncertainties. There are so many plans but no completions in the Philippines. The "future" corridor is not even the subject of the article, for the subject of the article is a "present" corridor that does not even exist, read Akira's earlier comments. That is why there is no apparent NPOV dispute. No corridor, no dispute. You're confusing the future uncertain, unfinalized, plan with a corridor that is not there. See? That article has already been proven to be blatant act of deception through wikipedia. The planned 600 mile "stretch of land" does not automatically present itself as a corridor now unless the thing is fully or nearly built, if it is built. I urge you to reconsider you're vote to delete. Of course, all of this assumes were not kidding... :) --Noypi380 00:06, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Boner![edit]

Non-notable, unreferenced game. Borderline speediable, although I couldn't find any criteria under which to do so - perhaps this is an example of WP:IAR. In any case it's here now, it's unreferenced, it's non-notable, and it's original research.-- PeruvianLlama(spit) 15:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dimes - I am afraid I completely disagree.

This is a real game. and whilst the rules written in a slightly tongue-in-cheek manner (i.e very verbose language was used) it was the best way to describe a relatively complex game.

I agree it is unreferenced, because we invented the game! How else will it get referenced without a start point at which to document it?

Pokémon-X[edit]

Pokemon fan fiction webcomic, found here. It's hosted on Comic Genesis, which if you don't know is like the Geocities of the webcomic world. Although the main author of the article keeps on insisting that the webcomic is popular in the article, I see no evidence of this. The alexa report for Comic Genesis do not even mention this comic, as seen here. How is this random website notable? How is it more notable than a typical blog, geocities personal or random fan fiction? I don't think it is. - Hahnchen 17:21, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sam Vaknin[edit]

Copied from Article's Discussion Page:

With the exception of one small book of short stories in Hebrew, which may have been formally published some time ago in Israel, he is entirely self published ("Narcissus Publication" is registered in his wife's name and produces Sam Vaknin's works exclusively, always in soft cover).

It seems to me that, if there were an Hebrew Wiki, there might be a case for his inclusion in a Hebrew Wiki. There is certainly a case for his inclusion in http://mk.wikipedia.org/wiki/ where regular users are better placed to assess his real validity, but apart from that, it seems to me that if there is a place to draw the line between valid articles and vanity this is it, as Sam Vaknin would seem to me no more than one of the droves of people who use vanity presses and self promotion on the internet to chase their "15 minutes of fame". --Zeraeph 10:05, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

Response. My reference to the Amazon sale ranking is based on the Amazon pages, not on anything the author may have said. And however fake the customer reviews at Amazon may be, the "editorial reviews" are, according to Amazon, selected by Amazon itself from outside sources, not user submitted.

Defeat in detail[edit]

Paul August deleted my prod tag without comment. Wikipedia is not a usage guide, or slang and idiom guide. James084 20:18, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a "slang term" see for example its use in the following Britannica article: [46] Paul August 23:14, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Gee, if it's in Britannica, then it must not be slang...--Isotope23 03:01, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I could support a merge & redirect to Maneuver warfare.--Isotope23 21:51, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is a very well-known military term describing an important tactic/strategy. Why do you think there there is a "pair of books" and an "wargame" named after it? There are innumerable references to this term. Besides the Brittannica reference above, and the others provided by Avi above, see [47], [48], [49], [50], [51], [52], [53], [54], [55], [56], [57]. I could go on and on. It would probably be easy to find thousands more. Paul August 23:49, February 8, 2006 (UTC)
  • If it's so easy, and you clearly have references up the wazoo, why can you not be bothered to improve the article by adding some? That would be more productive in terms of making the case for keeping than sniping at people in AfD. —rodii 03:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
In my view while the links above are sufficient to show that the term is legitimate, none of them are a very appropriate reference for the term. An appropriate reference would be some authoritative book on military tactics, strategy or history, unfortunately I don't have any such reference at hand. As for making any other contribution to the article, as I said below, this is not my field of expertise and I'm unqualified to add anything to the article. The only contribution I feel I'm qualified to make, is to try to insure that this article doesn't get deleted. I apologize if I've been "sniping". That hasn't been my intention. Paul August 04:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, OK, me too, sorry. :) —rodii 04:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. Paul August 04:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FYI. I'm the person who removed the "Prod" template. There is no obligation on the person who removes the the prod template to improve the article. I have engaged in discussion. What do you mean I "don't deserve to survive AfD?" This is about the article not me. Whether Wikipedia should have an article called "defeat in detail" has nothing to do with anything I do or don't do. Paul August 23:46, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, improving the article is "optional", but I agree where the template reads "If you can address this concern by improving, copyediting, sourcing, renaming or merging the page, please edit this page and do so." The "Defeat in detail" talk page is blank, so you didn't discuss it until after the nominator brought it here for proper process. Removing the prod template without doing something proactive to advance the discussion isn't grounds for "don't deserve to survive AfD", but it's likely to cause other editors to discount your assertions. It looks more like edit-warring than consensus-building. Despite this, I'm modifying my vote slightly given the further citations. Barno 00:06, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Barno above. At least leave some kind of comment when the prod tag is removed to explain why the article deserves to be kept. Furthermore, if you feel strongly about keeping an article that, at least in this case, is little more than a dictdef, why don't you feel strongly enough to improve the article a little bit? Just coming in here and voting to keep and improve doesn't seem to get these articles impoved in any way; thus, leaving a hoard of bad articles. BTW, I would like to point out that the reason that I nominated the article for deletion is legitamate and until the article is improved it remains legitamate. James084 01:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm afraid I know just enough about this term to know what it means, and to know that it is a very common and important military term, and consequently to know that this topic deserves to have an article on Wikipedia. However military strategy and history is not my field of expertise, and without going to the library and doing some research, I am unqualified to make any real improvements to the article. That an article needs to be improved is not a legitimate reason for deletion, see Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Paul August 02:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And I would refer you to WP:NOT to point out what Wikipeida is not and that is it is NOT a dictionary. This article was a dictdef. James084 02:51, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes Wikipedia is not a dictionary. And I'm well aware of WP:NOT, which says "if you come across an article that is nothing more than a definition, see if there is information you can add that would be appropriate for an encyclopedia." Thus, that an article only contains a definition is not a legitimate reason for deletion. A lot more can be said about this topic than just a definition. Paul August 03:58, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This vote seems to conflate the editor and the article. Just because there is disagreement over the tag and you dislike one editor removing it does not mean that the whole article irredeemably needs to be deleted. You can vote as you like, however, I urge you to reconsider this particular stance. Georgewilliamherbert 03:02, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Article has been Cleaned Up significantly. I've done a couple of passes through the article; I suggest anyone who voted Delete might want to re-read it now and reconsider. It's not done but it's a reasonable first pass now, IMHO. Georgewilliamherbert 02:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Symetrism[edit]

Non-notable political ideology. Probably with no existence outside the life of User:Symetrist. -- RHaworth 20:03, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please note the use of the word possible. Without verification, there is no reason to assume that you are not trying to create a concept for the purposes of self-aggrandizement or plain tomfoolery. Anyway, if you have created it, it violates WP:NOR; if you have not, it needs sources. Until such point as you can bring adequate and verifiable sources, it is a possible hoax. My apologies for inadvertantly hurting your feelings. -- Avi 03:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Don't be hard on the guy - his comment is no more a violation of etiquette than calling the idea a no-brainer. Symetrist: how do you prove it?

Student Linguistics in IIT Kharagpur[edit]

Non-encyclopedic. delete UtherSRG (talk) 20:40, 8 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To take up some of your points. The external source happens to be the IIT Foundation itself, and the main problem with your dictionary is that it is merely of interest to students of the IIT Foundation. You may be aware that many schools and colleges develop local slang. It serves no purpose for the general community if every school in the world made lists of their own slang and then used their own school website as a verifiable source.
You point to the internet slang list which you feel is comparable with your own list. It may help you understand why people are rejecting your dictionary while accepting the internet slang dictionary if you consider how many people use the internet as compared to how many people attend the IIT Foundation.
It would seem that a reference on the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi page linking to the page on slang would be sufficient in this case. SilkTork 00:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete creating an article with just this list serves no purpose. You should put the list in context inside an existing article on the subject. Elfguy 14:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Found another wikipedia entry on Internet slangs which looks a lot similar to my entry. In fact, the linking from the parent article is wierder than mine. What's more surprising is the fact that it quotes urban dictionary as its source/reference. Why are you adopting double standards? As regards to the point of writing in context, I have linked the article from IIT Kharagpur's page which is quite bulky in itself and adding something like this would make it even more awkward looking. Ambuj 16:50, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Would the list be acceptable if he made it into an article if it looked more like the Leet article?
  • Delete and merge contents with IIT jargon ot IIT Lingo per deeptrivia. Arundhati bakshi 17:04, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I wonder why are all of you silent about the Internet slangs article that is quite similar to mine. All the tags like non-encyclopaedic, no brainer and Listcruft of non-notable and WP:NFT neologisms all apply to that also. Should I put a delete tag to that entry also. Anyway, I am an inclusionist and not a deletionist, so I will never do that. But I have all right to demand fair treatment. Ambuj 06:56, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Now to address the point raised by SilkTork, I would like to add that just by knowing that there's a word faccha in the lingo of IITs is not sufficient unless you know that it refers to a first year student, which the IIT Foundation's site doesn't quite do. About the Internet slangs article, I feel that we should compare the utility of the article and not the scope. What I mean is that instead of comparing how many people use the internet, we should see for how many people this page would be helpful. Obviously you can't include those who use the internet for only e-mails and googling into the audience of the article, but definitely include those who use usenet groups and discussion forums. Compare that to the IIT Slang page which makes the social fabric of the IITs. If you are inside the IITs, you have to know what these words mean to really be able to talk to any student. I am not saying that the student are rude, but many a times they don't realise that they are using the slangs. At any point of time, there are 25000 to 30000 IITians studying in the campus. Add to that the 4000+ students who pass out every year. Seeing from an alumni's point of view, suppose you are an alumni from a batch that passed 30 years back and you want to get nostalgic about the student life you had, then each and every word will be invaluable (this work is not made up in class one day, but is a tradition of over 50 years). Take a look at the statistics that the IITs have been functioning since the early 1950s and you will understand the target audience I am refering to is enormously huge. For those who still don't understand the importance of IITs, take a look at this video. I know that giving examples is not quite relevant as some might say that they are exception, but I take the liberty of quoting one for those who might be interested. This incident took place some 15 years back in an auditorium in Los Angeles. There was one IITian who was sitting in it and was not very happy with the movie projector's focus. He became increasingly irritated and blurted out Tarapado, focus as he used to do in his IIT days. Within a few seconds, a voice came from 2 rows behing that said Which Hall?. 203.110.243.21 07:41, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think the point is that it is sufficent that we are aware that a particular school, website, village, hobby, etc has developed local jargon. We don't even need to know any of the words, let alone the meaning of them. Once involved in a school, website or hobby you might need to know the meaning of faccha for IIT or lege for RateBeer. But the rest of the world doesn't need to know. That the IIT website does not have a glossary itself is even more argument against including one on here as this is not the place for original research. I suggest you approach the IIT website with your work. I am sure they would find it of value. And that is truly where it belongs. You may notice that I am not voting against your article. I am only here to engage in the debate you requested. SilkTork 09:25, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You don't need to know most of the stuff in Wikipedia. Including the material in Internet Slangs, marijuana slangs, or in the Jargon file, all of which have entries here. Nonetheless, they may be of use to some people. Arundhati bakshi
  • The argument pointed by SilkTork will lead nowhere. I can apply the same thing to the Internet Slangs article and say that we only need to know that the internet users have developed a slang of their own. So let all those websites/discussion boards that have users frequently use these slangs maintain their own listing of such slangs. I will now give a gist of what I believe should be debated upon.

Given the fact that the Wikipedia community considers the atricle on Internet slangs worth keeping, then it can be concluded that the claims that the page under consideration is non-encyclopaedic and no brainer do not hold. The debate should actually be on whether it is a listcruft or not. That is, whether the people who might be interested in this article big enough to grant it a place in the encyclopedia. Furthermore, if its not, will merging it with an article on IIT_Lingo or something equivalent will make it satisfy the criteria. When deeptrivia suggested that I go ahead with making an article general to all the IITs, I considered it well before deciding to start an article on Kharagpur's Jargon alone. This was because it will require significant editing and morover will discourage people from other IITs to start such page. Even now I feel if the article is deleted, it should certainly be made a part of a larger article involving all the IITs. The reason why I felt that IIT Kharagpur itself merits such an article is that the IIT community (comprising of students, professors, workers, etc.) is 20000+ strong at any point of time. And since the culture of this jargon dates back half a centruy, a lot many non-students have also started to adopt to a good part of it. The only argument that feels that can go against it is that most of the workers here don't use the internet. But I feel that this should hardly be the reason for not allowing this article to be posted. This is because if it doesn't get posted, when these people WILL start using the net, they will refrain from making such a page because they would come to know that such a page was not allowed to be hosted before. Unfortunately I will not be around for the next 3 days, the time when the fate of this page will be decided. It that happens, and is decided on polls rather than merit, here's my choice sheet for the single transferable vote: 1) Keep.

or 2) Delete and merge with IIT Lingo.

or 3) Delete and move to user's sub page.

  • Delete, too specific topic, and more importantly, Wikipedia is not a slang or usage guide. If there is a general academic slang in India in general, it would merit a mention or even its own article, but this is way too academic-crufty. JIP | Talk 19:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Except here and here and here and here. Shouldn't rules be enforced consistently? Why is English boarding school slang OK but Indian IIT slang not OK? Arundhati bakshi 21:31, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Of the articles you listed, while I feel all are more notable than this IIT Kharagpur thingy, none meet my criteria above. So my opinion is that if this article is deleted, then the first three should also be proposed for deletion (I thought the list of sexual slurs would be fairly long and complete, but it turns out it's far from it), and the last should be stripped of its slang section. JIP | Talk 23:26, 10 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • That's one of my points. Why is this list being singled out and the others not? And why is British schoolboy slang more notable than Indian IIt slang? Arundhati bakshi
          • Pointing to examples of bad use of Wiki is a very poor argument. I would be more inclined to vote to keep if I was shown a good argument for the value of this particular dictionary of school slang. SilkTork 09:50, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
            • And why is it a bad argument? If the rules of Wikipedia apply to one article shouldn't they apply to others as well, or is that only for certain users to decide? I would prefer to see the list incorporated into an aticle maybe of IIt culture -- then it would make more sense -- but if this one goes, why should not the same criteria for deltion not be applied to similar articles of no greater value?
