  • Comment. Danny, I am curious what specific violations of WP:POINT had occurred. The author is quite definitely guilty of vandalism, such as removing AfD tags and removing talk page entries (for which I did leave appropriate warnings), but what point was he/she trying to make?

  • I dunno... Wikipedia is communist? I'm sure he believes he has a point, considering his choice of articles to vandalize. Danny Lilithborne 02:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Having a point to ones arguments does not violate WP:POINT. Please do not go around slinging off WP policy docs as random buckshot in AfD discussions. If it does not in a definable and arguable sense meet the criterion, please don't list it in the AfD discussion. Georgewilliamherbert 10:28, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what you want to hear. You can do a google search and find thousands of articles and books on the exact topic. Any of them could be used to expand the article past its stub state.

I'm not sure why anyone outside of X3 and SMF would care, but good for that admin. Also, the page still exists. You can still expand it if you feel you can add anything that will add notability.

Lumber Cartel[edit]

All sources fail WP:V they are all self-published and unverifiable. Artcile is speculative, written vaguely, and conveys no usable encyclopedic information. Complete WP:OR. Might be a nice blog entry, its not an encyclopedia article. References unsourced opinion. Crossmr 05:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Since this was a Usenet phenomenon then Usenet is the primary source for it - the groups have date-stamped postings. [16] has 33,600 hits. It was pretty much a daily thing on news.admin.net-abuse.*. which was a group I used to follow in the early days of spamming. As DarthVad says it's much along the lines of There Is No Cabal Dlyons493 Talk
And usenet isn't an acceptable primary source, regardless of where it happened. WP:V is non-negotiable and you can't verify those postings to usenet. The timestamp does not verify who wrote those messages. The timestamp can also be forged as can the from header. And as I pointed out below regarding TINC its never been put up for deletion and it should. Its a neologism and defining and explaining it is WP:OR. Those jargon files cannot be used as primary sources as a definition.--Crossmr 14:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not sure I'm following all this - are you saying Google Groups timestamps and/or headers are forged? And what is the primary source for Usenet happenings if not Usenet postings? Dlyons493 Talk 15:01, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I never made the leap from using a newsreader to one of the web-based alternatives like google groups, but does it just not show usenet content and allow you post to it through the web? Whether or not the specific google interface allows you to forge time stamps, I have no idea. But that group you're referring to is just a usenet group. Anyone can access that with a newsreader and forge their timestamp. Not-withstanding that, you cannot verify who made any of those individual posts which goes against WP:V this is why forums are also not acceptable as sources. As for the primary source of what happens on usenet, there may not be a primary source. Regardless of how notable a topic this may be within the usenet community, if no one outside it has ever covered it (like say Wired) then you may not have a usable source. Wikipedia is not an indescriminate collection of all information WP:NOT and from WP:V "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is thus verifiability, not truth" Wikipedia is about verifiability not truth. As true as this article may be, if we can't properly verify it, it can't be here.--Crossmr 15:14, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You may vaguely recall something called deja news? Google acquired their database sometime ago. Those archives go back to 11 May '81 [BBC]. The database is certainly more secure than many, many sites that are routinely accepted as reputable sources. Indeed, much of the uproar over Deja was because of the concern that they kept your words set in stone, so you could never take them back. You can forge a datestamp easy enough on your usenet client, but that doesn't keep the server from accurately recording when and from where it received your message. Keep in mind, as Bryan pointed out, this is not a case of using a usenet post as a source for anything other than it's own occurence. In that context, this is about as reliable a source as you're ever likely to see for anything. Arker 00:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Published in The New Hacker's Dictionary, which - as the dead-tree version of The Jargon File - is semi-cited in the article. With regard to verifiability, Usenet postings are obviously primary sources about themselves. In this case the authorship of an individual post is irrelevant, as the article is about the meme, not the spreaders of it. I'm ambivalent on its notability - I think There is no cabal is appreciably more widespread, and would support a merge - but deleting this on verifiability grounds is pretty wikilawyer-y. Opabinia regalis 23:02, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately this [17] doesn't work as a source for the entire file. While it provides a basis for the name, it doesn't provide a basis for most of the content in the article. For example "Somewhere around late 1997..." that reference in the jargon file doesn't give any verifiability to that statement. As for wikilawyering, please read WP:V the policy is non-negotiable and a cornerstone for content on wikipedia. Thats not wiki-lawyering, its safe-guarding necessary standards to ensure quality. A single source saying "Hey this exists" isn't license to write whatever unsourced information you want on a topic. --Crossmr 23:10, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The original post was in Nov 1997. And is cited in the article. The long rant to which that post was a reaction was written not long before, though it no longer exists. So "Somewhere around late 1997" is about right, if poorly written. Opabinia regalis 23:49, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Unfortunately the citations are usenet postings, which are not acceptable for citation. The fact is every single claim made by the article outside of it being a mysterious cartel mentioned, which is covered y the jargon file, isn't properly sourced. Putting together theories and claims and drawing conclusions based on usenet postings is the definition of Original research.--Crossmr 02:42, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The problem is, I don't believe it can, and obviously other than claiming it should be kept, no one else is interested enough to either. Which is exactly why this article was put up for AfD. While the Jargon file is a publish source that indicates the Lumber Cartel exists and why(very generally), there is no other credible source for the rest of the information.--Crossmr 00:36, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
"A travesty as well as a tragedy?" Those are some pretty strong words to throw around for something like this. "Internet culture and history" is more than well-represented on Wikipedia already. Let's counter this bias by removing or merging borderline articles like this. Recury 22:46, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I believe what is non-negotiable is the principle expressed on WP:V, the principle of verifiability. It states clearly that it may be edited "to better reflect practical explanation and application of these principles." Keeping this would not violate that principle in the least. It would violate a legalistic reading that treats every word on the page as equally important and sacrosant, but I believe a fair reading of WP:V as a whole, particularly the two introductory paragraphs (where the quote above may be found) as well as sections 1 and 2 argue strongly against such a reading, as does WP:SENSE.

Joe Courtney (politician)[edit]

Delete Violates Wikipedia's discussion on political candidates according to Wikipedia:Candidates and elections; non-notable candidate, not noteworthy in own regard if suffers deafeat. Plus no article for this House race. RexRex84 06:30, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I placed Chris Murphy (politician) and Joe Courtney (politician) pages up for deletion because the Diane Farrell page was delete (which I objected to). All I am saying is that Farrell should not have been deleted and these 2 not. Like Courtney, 2006 is Farell's 2nd time running against Shays in a tight contest. What we need is CONSISTENCY here. Perhaps we should just create another page on Farrell and defend it from AfD again.
Comment I agree completely. Deleting Diane Farrell's profile was ridiculous. While the current political notability policy is misguided, even following the policy, all three candidates (Murphy, Courtney and Farrell) have received more than adequate press coverage per WP:BIO requirements (all three have been profiled on the front page of the NY Times, among others) and should not be deleted. What needs to be done to petition to resurrect Farrel's bio?--Francisx 04:46, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Disagree strongly. Even if Courtney weren't running for Congress in the Second District, he'd deserve a WP:Bio of his own, as he is a prominent Connecticut lawyer, political figure and former state representative who has received considerable personal (as opposed to election-specific) press coverage. Write an article on the race as well, but don't delete this. --Francisx 20:17, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay.. so the article needs to establish notability. Former state reps are a dime a dozen, and so are lawyers. Has he done anything notable? Authored any notable bills? Lawyered any notable cases? --Aguerriero (talk) 21:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Aguerriero. Francis, if you want Wikipedia to have an article on Joe Courtney, you do the research and write it. What we have now is not a full article but a tiny stub that has no business being an article of its own. The article can be replaced with a redirect to an article on the election in question until there's enough info for a full article on Courtney. -- Mwalcoff 04:32, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Mere candidate for House race that does not have own article. See Wikipedia: Candidates and elections. Non-notable in own right. RexRex84 06:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said above, if you think we need an article on the election itself, create one. I think it's more constructive than deleting articles. But people coming to Wikipedia looking for information on the race will likely be searching for candidates' names, rather than the abstract concept of the election. Furthermore, I notice that the policy about candidates and elections is still under debate, and in that debate there is support for articles on candidates for offices such as this. Frankg 16:37, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a voters guide, and most certainly is not free webspace for candidates. (BTW, the vast majority of Wikipedia policies and guidelines are under debate.) Fan-1967 16:42, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But Wikipedia is a place people go when they want to find (hopefully!) unbiased information on a subject all summarized in one place. Either way, I don't see why this article fails the (more established?) notability guidelines. Frankg 16:46, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Farrell was never a state legislator, though, at least not to my knowledge. (Man, sure wish I could look this up on Wikipedia. ;) ) I don't really think her article should have been deleted either. Compromise suggestion: We remove this article but create an article for this race, and redirect searches for Chris Murphy to that page. What do you think? Frankg 19:33, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
CommentThe deletion of the Diane Farrell article was a travesty -- 'Diane Farrell' gets 4.7 million Google hits, 118 current Google news articles, has raised more money than the vast majority of sitting members of Congress, and is perhaps the most prominent Congressional challenger anywhere in the country. If new or proposed WP standards don't count her -- or Chris Murphy (who dispite what you say is one of the most powerful members of the State Senate) -- as sufficiently prominent people, then it is those standards that are lacking. Excluding biographies of prominent politicians would place a chilling effect on the amount of useful information available on WP. It also has the perhaps-unintended effect of editorializing in favor of incumbent politicians at the expense of their often equally notable challengers. We may not need WP pages on every single person who has ever run for elective office, but Diane Farrell and Chris Murphy are serious, well regarded politicians who have each raised millions of dollars, and who's names are justifiably familiar to the majority of residents of Connecticut. Keep the bios non-partisan, but don't remove someone's bio just because they're a politician.--Francisx 00:30, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The Diane Farrell article was merely 'candidate and member of town council'. If she had raised millions of dollars and had statewide notice, it wasn't in the article. Just being a candidate isn't enough to warrant an article, and Diane's article was just her being a candidate. --DarkAudit 14:03, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Ok. Well, if I wrote a bio for Diane Farrell that mentioned more than her just being a candidate, could I post it? I'm hesistant to undelete this, but she is clearly an important and notable person, even if her past WP article was lacking. --Francisx 02:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Of course, it's part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy that is Wikipedia -- at least this week.

Question: Is there a rule that if the subject of an article doesn't exist on google or Yahoo that it is considered unreliable. Come on, Just if something doesn't happen to come up on a search engine that is always 100% reliable, why should it be deleted. Also it is new on the internet and it will catch on (I think)... The burnanator 09:27, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment You THINK, but you don't know, and Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The article does not prove the subject's notability with cited, verifiable sources; this is independent of Google hits, though those results back up that judgement right now. If it catches on, great, it'll belong on WP, but it's too early to expect that now. HumbleGod 09:31, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. There is a proposed guideline that if something is allegedly an Internet phenomenon but it doesn't show up on Google, it's non-notable. In this case, the article doesn't even claim that the subject is an Internet phenomenon, just that the creator hopes it will be. --Metropolitan90 15:15, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jungle Jam and Friends: The Radio Show![edit]

I'm not quite sure how this one isn't vanity for a non-notable radio show. There's no evidence that this has been syndicated or widely broadcast (the article doesn't assert this), and while the article does assert that the show is "award-winning," there no source to back this up or even any information on what awards this show has won and when. Additionally, there seems to be a walled garden of JJaF pages; I'm not sure if this is merely evidence of an enthusiastic fan or group of fans focusing on this subject, or if it's just a case of low-key vanispamcrufizement. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 09:17, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result was : Alexa rank is unlikely to mean anything much to our readers (yes, not everyone here edits) and the claim made is very shaky grounds for notability. The second-highest? Really? Because it's "316,670"? What, only one of the 316,669 sites above it are related to Tango? If you actually checked that, that's original research. Notability rests on non-trivial, independent, reliable external coverage, none of which have been demonstrated here.

I'm slightly confused here, Tobias; are you voting for the deletion of the article that you created which refers to your own website? --die Baumfabrik 05:14, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks for asking. No I am not voting for the deletion. The website is the second most used among tango dancers, so I don't really understand why you vote for deletion. It also has some unique feature which make it valuable for tango music collectors. I very often tried to bring tango people to edit in wikipedia, but most of them simply don't do it, sometimes because they don't like WP very much. I wrote the article myself, since I know the website quite good. I also started an article on todotango.com - nobody accuses me of vanity there. I also started List of tango music labels, List of tango singers, List of public domain tangos, Sociedad Argentina de Autores y Compositores de Música, I edited other tango related articles. I created lots of stubs for locations where tango people where born. I asked lot of people to create basic tango articles in other language wikipedias, since I don't speak romanian etc. I love tango. And if I am not sleeping I either dance it or develop tango.info or edit in wikipedia. Tobias Conradi (Talk) 15:04, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

To assume such conclusion based on just one single Chinese character is simply POV and non-encyclopedic. Furthermore, no important references are in place.[reply]

Zamanfou[edit]

AfD submitted by anon user 212.251.125.15, with comment - "deleted unsourced tripe (probably some editor's personal musings) on the background behind the so-called phenomenon, per WP: no original research". This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo 13:24, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The so called "phenomenon" returns only 25 results in Google Groups, of which most consist of a single usenet user's signature. On the world wide web, almost all returns are reproductions of the wikipedia entry, or unrelated websites such as "zamanfou casino" and forum usernames. In fact describing "zamanfou" as some complex Greek social phenomenon, when in fact it is nothing more than a slang expression, similar to "devil may care", while amusing, is completely incorrect.

Floating Solar Chimney Technology[edit]

This is typically a vanity article; the only person interested in it is its author. The issue has been covered in a single sentence in Solar updraft tower, and that is probably more attention than it deserves anyway. We have seen a proliferation of "Solar Tower" type articles in the past. Just a few months ago we had 3 almost identical articles Solar Tower, Solar chimney, and Solar Tower Buronga, all of which were riddled with commercialism. Those 3 articles have now been merged into one single article, i.e. Solar updraft tower, which btw still needs a lot of cleaning up as it bears the traces of its torturous past. But these kind of articles keep popping up; another example of that is Vortex engine. I think it is about time to put a stop to it. JdH 13:13, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The arguments about weight and strength could be used to prove that neither a Zeppelin nore a Boeing 747 can fly, too. Those floppy "men" at used car yards are a lightweight tube with air flowing through them. In that case, they are powered by a fan or air compressor, not a solar collector and chimney effect, but they do stay up because of the pressure difference—stability is the issue. --Scott Davis Talk 05:13, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • In that case there is a positive pressure difference; in the case of the solar chimney there is a negative pressure difference. Therefore, an unsupported floppy solar chimney would deflate rather than inflate. JdH 08:11, 14 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There Is No Cabal[edit]

Neologism, the jargon file website while it defines that the term is used on usenet, the rest of the article is complete WP:OR.

Keep Why is this article up for deletion? People proposing deletions need to state reasons, rather than expecting authors probably not familar with Wikipedia bureacracy to second guess them or wade through reems of policy waffle. My best guess is non-notability - though the car, (and its silly number plate)seem to pass the google test. Presumably the assumption is New Zealand racing is unimportant.

Winstonwolfe 02:35, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, good guess! Not-notability it is. For the record, if this car's claim to fame was that it holds the record for the quickest 13B turbocharged, tubbed drag car in the United States, then I would feel just as strongly that it should be deleted. Even if it were the quickest 13B turbocharged, tubbed drag car in the entire world, I would still be nominating it.

Cute gurlzz[edit]

WP:WEB - no Alexa data, advert, SPAM, shameless promotion Rklawton 16:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Er, Cute Gurlzz is a free resource that makes no money and promotes no business. Its not spam, its not shameless promotion and its a fair reference to the term Cute Gurlzz which is unique. The site makes available free images for people to use as avatars and icons or in anyway they wish. The use of the word Funner is a fun derivation of the word fun, to have fun, having fun.

But hey, delete it if you want. I guess maybe your like that.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.65.206.145 (talkcontribs)

Its not my only contribution i'm mentioned elsewhere but you also seem to have deleted my other stuff as well even though people in exact same position are alloed to keep their stuff on Wikipedia.

All I can say is that maybe I could rewrite the entry more in the third party. Geez, you people are so low. Its a unique web site that has been running for over two years, Cute Gurlzz are unique, they are like Play Boy Bunnys, its like having a reference for My Space. My Space is a networking site etc. Cute Gurlzz is an established site for girls to get a free drawing. There are no Google Ads, no Adverts, no links, no requests for money, and moreover, Wikipedia is not going to generate any traffic for the site. I just thought as I had a bit of time i'd do a Wikepedia. All I can say is that maybe I could do with making the listing more objective.

I run a web directory myself thats free and I never behave like this with people, you know, if theres something lacking you should correct it, not judge, especially when you havn't looked at the site, I can see that only one of the top four 'judgees' actually looked at the site. And since then 1-2 more people have had a quick glance. Its only 1 page with a database of images.

What do you do with folks who use your sites and who refuse to follow the rules? At Wikipedia, we discuss the matter and (sometimes) delete their articles. If you've got a better way, don't hesitate to let us know. Rklawton 16:58, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I consider for deletion the article, considering the number of biased, unreferenced statements contained within the article, rendering the content unverifiable.

Eric Vescuso[edit]

Nonnotable athlete with an unimpressive 22 Google hits. Prod tag was removed without explanation. Maxamegalon2000 18:45, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a well known athlete amongst the tennis community as well as the Marquette Alumni, Brophy Alumni, Bay Area community as well as the USTA. He has multiple Google hits and had many more until Marquette University archived the majority of the statistical and journalistic information regarding the tennis program.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.88.67.230 (talkcontribs)

The club does have an article, and so should it's renowned pro. Eric Vescuso is a well-known player in huge metropolitan area that has accomplished what few or no previous Northern California coaches and teams have ever done before, and that is win the California State Title in multiple divisions against the top tennis region in the country (Southern California). As well he had a solid career in NCAA division 1 top 50 program and has been ranked nationally mulitple times.— Preceding unsigned comment added by User:Charldav (talk • contribs)

It should be noted that the Courtside Club article was created by User:Charldav after its mentioning at this page. --Maxamegalon2000 23:11, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Courtside Club has since been deleted for copyright violations. In the interest of full disclosure, I was the one who tagged the article for speedy deletion. --Maxamegalon2000 03:16, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sir, I it is commendable that you deem yourself the bastion of truth and judger of worthiness for content, however, when an athlete is ranked nationally in an individual sport, and accomplishes things none or few have, it is noteworthy. I'm sure your talents could be put to better use than harassing a viable article. In addition, there are more than 22 google hits and that is saying more than the majority of the "notable" athletes contained in this index.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 63.88.67.230 (talkcontribs)

I merely nominated this article for deletion. It is for the Wikipedia community to determine its worthiness. There are now 26 Google hits for "Eric Vescuso", the four new hits being from Wikipedia. I must say, attacking Wikipedia editors and vandalizing their user pages does not add to the credibility of your arguments. --Maxamegalon2000 17:41, 9 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Eric Vescuso is a notable tennis pro and coach, and has worked with a host of very notable pros to improve their games. This is beyond having one of the highest winning percentages in Marquette history.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.9.250.6 (talkcontribs)

The result was history merge with Current events in Hong Kong. Several things to take note of here. First, it is true that we now have two duplicate articles. Second, the page was moved by "copy-paste", which is the wrong way to move things because it fragments the article history. Note that calling for deletion because we already have an article and "there is no need to keep the history" is calling for a violation of the Gnu Free Documentation License which is absolutely fundamental to Wikipedia, and trumps consensus. Simple deletion of this article without deleting Current events in Hong Kong is therefore out of the question.

The reason for the nomination is that the article so far only contains current events from Hong Kong, and nothing from Macau. Against this, it has been argued that the article previously contained current events from Macau. It has then been pointed out that there are enough current events to justify a separate Current events in Macau article (although it should be noted that such an article does not yet exist, if anyone wants to create one, by all means do so.)

I am calling this a history merge primarily because a cop-paste move was executed, which needs to be fixed. It may happen that the article ought to cover both Hong Kong and Macau (which would mean moving the article back), but I will leave that discussion for the article's talkpage or Wikipedia:Requested moves. For now though, I'll consolidate the page histories. Since the article's current title suggests that the article is about Hong Kong only, I will delete the subsequent redirect (which will be without any history, so GFDL is upheld) as well.

One of those guidelines is the Alexa rank - and at 547,000, it doesn't meet the 100,000 guideline. A Google saerch yields nothing on any media mention of the website.

  • You know, I have a hard time believing that you are sincerely asking for links or references. Didn't you sum it all up above when you said there were almost no google hits, or "zero" news items? Before quoting, once again, from the guideline that we all know. I really wonder what kind of "google trawling" you do. In any case, let me be quite clear. I'll be happy to start posting links and other excerpts from a broad range of publications, all written by real live reporters, into this discussion, if you promise to then add them as references to the article. Because I'm sure you'll agree - given your interest in google - that Freebord and its 125,000 google hits is just as important as frog cake and its 836 google hits. --JJay 22:05, 11 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Not sure why you're searching in french, or why you've chosen to personalise this by bringing up a minor article that I've edited, but if you'll notice that when I did edit it I added sources from The national heritage trust of South Australia, The Australian National University, and Australian Radio National - all found via my "interest in google."

I'll take your comment to mean that you plan on redacting your initial comment and will add references and links to the article. Here is a small sample.

Comment Could I ask everyone involved in this debate to please try to remain calm and WP:CIVIL:civil? There have been inappropriate remarks thrown around by both "sides", and this debate is sinking into name calling and bitterness which helps no-one.
Kevin, the reason Google hits were brought up is that it is one way to measure the notability of a site. Because of the way Google's PageRank algorithm works it is a rough guide to the number of other sites that think your site is worthwhile. What is being (crudely) measured is how many other sites have written about your site. That's different from the number of people who visit your site, which is what the webstats show. Remember that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, which means it reports on things that have found widespread use beyond their own narrow subject area. So, for example, if The Times had decided that Pussing was notable enough to write an article about it, then Wikipedia would cover this term with an article, using The Times article as it source.
Unfortunately I don't think "Pussing" has reached that level of notability yet. If you read Wikipedia's guideline on neologisms and especially verifiability you'll see more about this. Many thanks, Gwernol 12:47, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CommentThanks for your latest comment Gwernol. I understand what you say about google but when the google stats were pointed out above by Tmopkisn, these were discredited by another user. Also, the problem about pussing is that it is a secret sexual practice breaking one of the last remaining taboos (non-private urination) so it is highly unlikely that the Times would offend their readers by covering it! What I can say is that if you do a search on google for the term pussing you will see that it has reached widespread coverage as the term is included on many other sites (inevitably adult ones), particularly if the search entry is combined with another sexual term (like peeing) in order to differentiate it from the sort of definitions mentioned above by Mithent.

Comment I suggest merging the content of this article with Urolagnia. That article could use some work anyway, and this editor might be the perfect person to do it. Dina 14:20, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for your comment Dina. One of the problems I apparently seem to be having is explaining that Pussing is not just about Urolgnia or Urophilia, it is about employing strategy and tactics to bring two people together in a semi-public place to perform the actual act of doing and watching. There are more than enough words already for the act of urination and this is not just another one! Pussing means sitting in a bar, working out where things are, working out what can be seen where and by whom, determining who is around, making the physical move of getting a member of the wrong sex into a cubicle with a FULLY CONSENTING member of the right sex totally unobserved, staying unheard and undetected whilst in there and remaining totally unobserved on exit. This is not what Urolgnia or Urophilia is!!Kevinbeds 15:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Urolagnia is defined as : (also known as urophilia) a sexual fetish with a focus on urine and urination. While there are variants to any fetish, Pussing seems to fall well within the scope of that article on the subject. Look, it's very likely that your article is going to be deleted. If it's important to you that this subject be represented on Wikipedia, why not incorporate some of the content in your article into that existing one? If you feel the Urolagnia isn't well written, you can edit its content as well. That way, everyone can be satisfied. Dina 15:58, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment OK Dina I have done that. I just hope it doesn't start off another torrent of abuseKevinbeds 16:34, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CommentWell, you'll probably get edited, but hopefully not abused. Thanks for helping sort this out peacefully. Dina 16:52, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CommentI tried expressly to steer clear of how to advice, instead keeping it to the facts of what actually happens. But because this involves strategy and tactics it is necessary to explain what those are!Kevinbeds 21:04, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I keep trying to cite sources but these all seem to be poo-pooed on here! You must understand that the term relates to a secret sexual activity involving a taboo so all the sources are adult website related!! One is hardly likely to read about this activity in the pages of The Times!!Kevinbeds

Comment This word should be kept as it describes the activity without being to vulgar. I mean come on, it isn't a swear word so why should it be deleated? Wake up people, it is only a word after all, one of countless number of words that are floating around on the net and in books and dictionarys.

Can you please provide some reliable sources to show that this is not made up? Shouting louder and louder that it exists is not convincing anyone. Stifle (talk) 11:34, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kevin, you are stepping out of line. Comments like "if they have any, which I am seriously beginning to doubt" are offensive personal attacks and if you continue to make them you will be blocked from editing Wikipedia. I ask you again to remain calm and civil.

It is very important that you understand that verifiability is an absolute, inviolable cornerstone of Wikipedia. Quoting from that policy:

1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources.
2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reputable source, or it may be removed by any editor.
3. The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.

You have not provided any reliable sources for the activity of Pussing. Until you do, the article will likely be deleted. Please read the verifiability policy carefully. Note in particular the simple idea that "The threshold for inclusion in Wikipedia is thus verifiability, not truth." Until your article reaches this threshold none of the other arguments matter.

You may find this unfair, but it is the definition of what an encyclopedia is. There are thousands of free and low costs web hosting companies where you can write an article on Pussing if you want to. Thanks, Gwernol 12:42, 13 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment 1. You have overlooked the exclamation mark at the end of my parenthesis about other people's sexual activity. Have you never heard of humour? 2. It cannot be expected that reputable sources, as you call them, are likely to publish articles about a secret sexual activity breaking a taboo. If they did, their reputation would be called into question. 3. I did add what I considered to be a reputable internet source to the original article but the very first complaint was that this was an adult website, which is why I removed it, even though the website is non-commercial and non-profit making. 3. I have never asked anybody commenting to supply a source so I don't see the relevance of your point 3. 4. I do not want to write an article on pussing; what I was expecting is that Wikipedia would embrace developments in language, society and culture and be a pre-eminent reference source for such developments. I was clearly in error and, to be frank, now have an extremely poor opinion of Wikipedia. 5. I am not shouting louder and louder; I am simply trying to respond accurately to each point which is made. If you want proof that it exists, just search for it on the internet. If it didn't exist, it wouldn't be on so many independent webhsites. Or, to put it another way, why would websites seeking traffic in a highly competitive environment include pussing as a search term if nobody knew or did this?

Matt Hollowell[edit]

Delete - MLB umpire only for relatively brief period; worked no postseason or All-Star games, no significant regular season games. Hard to imagine the article ever being anything but a stub. (Also note that the article is an orphan.) (Article was previously marked for deletion by Seidenstud, tag was removed by another user.) MisfitToys 20:39, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Leave the page - Five seasons seems significant to me. Players who have played few games/years are on this website. I'm not sure why the bias against umpires exists on this site. They work hard and make a contribution to baseball just like players and coaches. Ags412 20:51, 8 July 2006 (UTC)Ags412[reply]

Well, what about substitute umpires who are never on the regular staff but merely fill in during vacations or strikes? This is a really slippery slope. I'll note that all of the other post-1890 umpires with articles worked postseason (and usually All-Star) games. MisfitToys 20:53, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Another point: There are fewer than 75 umpires that work MLB games in a year, but over 800 players, almost all of whom have pages on this site. In fact, being a major league umpire is a tougher accomplishment than being a major league player. Obviously players are more in the spotlight while umpires often go unnoticed, but this should not prevent them from having a page on this site. But it seems to me that if such a select group of people can accomplish something as difficult as becoming a major league umpire, if even for a short period of time, then that person deserves to be recognized on this website. Ags412 21:48, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure the numerical comparison is entirely useful. Anywhere between 18 and 50 players appear in each game (sometimes even more in September), but only 4 umpires; there are fewer positions. Besides, shouldn't the article describe something the person did rather than just note their job title? Since you began the article, adding something in that respect would be useful. Players' accomplishments are easily quantifiable and varied and can be compared; umpires' work tends to be more uniform. The Wikipedia bio guidelines should be kept in mind; for sports officials, I'd suggest something similar to the criteria for professors (Ivy League profs could be regarded as working at the highest level, yet they don't automatically qualify for articles). MisfitToys 21:55, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The numerical comparison is relevent because it shows how much more difficult a position being an MLB umpire is to obtain as compared to being an MLB player. My point with that is that MLB players who appear in very few seasons and have "stubs" are not shut out from this site, so why should an MLB umpire be? Additionally, if you want more than his job, give it some time. This page has been up for less than 24 hours. Part of the reason it was put up is so anyone who knows something can contribute. Give them time to find it. Ags412 22:00, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
On the other hand, veteran umpires have union job protection, so talent isn't the only criteria for work; a pitcher who's no longer competent loses his job, but it's harder to get rid of a bad umpire who's been around for ten years. Besides, the uniformity of their work is a primary goal for umpires; uniformity is completely irrelevant (and essentially impossible) for players. MisfitToys 22:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Which means it is even tougher to get a job in the major leagues because there are less openings. Therefore, breaking into the major leagues as an umpire for any amount of time is an extremely difficult feat in any respects and thus a "notable" accomlpishment.Ags412 22:25, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There are many credible references. True, the subject is an economic principle specific to the airline industry and to the culture, but it is studied by government, the press, economists, and private industry. It is in common usage and refers to a tendency that can be attributed generally to any airline that causes that effect. A Department of Transportation publication (as cited by Justin Ritter) defined it as "the characteristics of a low-cost carrier’s market entry and the side-effects that come with it. (DOT, 1993)" Searching for "Southwest Effect" in Google Print yields over 50 book citations. A Google Web search for "Southwest Effect" delivers links to well over 700 Internet sites using the phrase. Deleting the entry is not warranted. Wipfeln 22:08, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
