Question It is claimed to be a German abbreviation, of more general applicability. Is the term used in Germany?DGG 00:35, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Mitali Mukherjee[edit]

"Mitali Mukherjee" appears to be a self-promotional article. It violates the norms of wikipedia and deserves to be deleted immediately. Indian_Air_Force(IAF)

This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 09:36, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment It's a bit difficult to ascertain whether a subject is notable, when the AfD nominator blanks the page before attaching the AfD tag. [1]. I'll WP:AGF and merely restore the article, though. EliminatorJR ^Talk 10:24, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Very Weak Keep this is one of those tricky borderline ones; the name returns hits in Google, but some appear to be about someone else; a lot of the refs are forums, blogs, etc - however we've kept Western anchors with less experience than she has so I am wary of WP:CSB. The article does need a tidy up at the very least. EliminatorJR ^Talk 10:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Verifiable (e.g. official profile here: [2]) but doesn't seem notable due to lack of independent coverage. Tried alternative spellings too (e.g. "Mitali Mukherji" cnbc which gets another 37 GHits [3]), but no reliable sources there. I've "saved" a few South Asia-related articles from deletion processes in the past, but I really don't see anything that could be done to help this one. She reads the news and gets talked about on forums for being pretty. That's it. cab 05:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - i've always voted delete on ones like this. i mean, everyone will have their 15 mins of fame. and its that much easier if you're a newscaster or a blogger or something. but then having articles for everybody who has had their 15 mins of fame is not what an encyclopedia is for. Sarvagnya 05:19, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete as NN. The small number of GHits contain a large number of references to Mitali Mukherjee (Mitali Mukhopadhyay) the singer. The newscaster isn't notable at all. --Ragib 06:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete Not notable. I am an Indian and there are practically thousands of news readers with new ones popping up everyday. They are hardly notable and don't qualify for an encyclopedia entry, I reckon this was a weak self promotion stunt Correctus 06:47, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep on the ground that the article is improved. The person DOES seem notable, there is no point in deleting the article just because there are more notable "Mitali Mukherjee"s, plus there are many pages for less notable anchors from the west.

Puerto Rican actress with small starring role 17 years ago, no references killing sparrows 06:04, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete as it stands but am happy to change my mind if any Puerto Rican can provide evidence she's bigger there than the article currently makes her sound. The sentence "Even if she does not have the greatest voice or a charming personality" probably ought to go, though. - iridescenti (talk to me!) 15:39, 10 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete due to insufficient verification. The series she is described as having starred in is not listed in the Internet Movie Database. That may be due to the fact that IMDb has insufficient coverage of Puerto Rican television, but in the absence of IMDb verification, one or more other sources will be needed. --Metropolitan90 01:16, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete?- The IMdB listing gives a running time of only 8mins, meaning this was one of those short films shown at film festivals and probably nowhere else. During a quick Google search I could not find any independent sources. This is a good of example of why mention on IMdB is not always criteria for inclusion. Danski14^(talk) 02:01, 13 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - From the America Ferrera article, it seems that the director (not the Ryan Williams linked in the article) of this movie met and began dating Ferrera in the making of a student film (perhaps this one?) while he was (or they were?) at USC. Perhaps their association lends this movie notability. For now, however, I'd say that the director of the movie might be notable enough for an article, and most of the information here could be in that article. But unless this film was shown at more than a couple galleries, and the galleries were of note, I don't think the film is notable enough for its own article. I guess that makes me in the weak delete category. Smmurphy^(Talk) 15:00, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to a Samsung (disambiguation). Almost 120 articles have Samsung in the title. While glancing through I see that most of them are just divisions of Samsung Group, some of them are no longer connected at all (like Samsung Motors) and would be somewhat hard to find from the main article. This is probably a common problem with the Korean chaebols.

Keep pending expansion. I think there is possibly much wider use of this concept, and it impinges on questions of scientific method. If I write several different articles about the effect of global warming by the year 2010, all with different numbers, and manage to get them published in various obscure places, i can then write a single article in 2010 referring to the one that happened to be right, and showing how close I came. DGG 05:22, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment unfortunately the scientific method also refers to the journal used. So obscure magazines are entirely ignored by the scientific community, although even there we might find valid articles.

- Wikipedia is concerned with verifiability, not truth. This means that there has to be reliable sources. For instance, if your message board was reviewed by a notable website, that would probably count; so would a mention of it in a newspaper, magazine, or TV show. These are what is known as secondary sources. The problem is that you don't have any sources for this article except the message board itself, and, unfortunately, that doesn't meet Wikipedia policies.

        I don't think there is one, now. i tag the article for speedy-delete as a copyvio. Someone else removed that tag, apparently because this AfD was in progress, buit without butting on the ((copyvio)) tag. I saw this, and, rather than fight over the speedy tag, put on the copyvio tag. No further problem. Earlier your thought that "I also doubt that copying from a Myspace profile really counts as copyvio" could have been a problem, but wasn't after the policy was explained. Now we must either decide to delete, or decide to keep and rewrite the article so it isn't a copyvio, or decide to keep and get permission from the author of the text on the myspacepage to release it unde the GFDL. Whether we keep or not will depend largely on notability I would think, guided by WP:MUSIC. DES ^(talk) 19:04, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Jurassic Park Visitors Center[edit]

This is a rediculously unnotable article, which by the way was only created on March 11, so obviously it wasn't important if it was only created then. But if this article had to be created, then it could have atleast have been about the entire fictional universe of Jurassic park island where the film is set,that would have been more reasonable and notable Rodrigue 17:00, 7 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have to disagree with your logic here. Just because an article wasn't written several months ago doesn't mean that it isn't important. Every Wikipedia article was new at some point. There are numerous articles about the fictional world of Jurassic Park, and the Visitors Center is a significant setting in the book and movie. --Wasted Sapience 18:18, 14 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. One of the worst arguments I've seen in an afd, but ironically Rodrigue made a decent point somewhere - material like this would be justified if it existed as a small part of an article about the entire Jurassic Park world, but not in its own article, and with this excessive amount of trivial detail.

Delete. Being an "impotant place" in a notable film is not a reason for inclusion in and of itself.

Pulong Buhangin, Sta. Maria[edit]

To the best of my knowledge, this Philippine-related AfD has no known precedent of its kind, so I hope this opens a lot of good inputs from Filipino editors. As with the TfD for Template:Santa Maria, Bulacan, I think there should be a fine line between what place-names deserve their own WP article. Creating an article about Philippine barangays (that would be something similar to a municipal district for non-Filipinos) is taking it too far, as not all barangays are notable, and some are too small to deserve their own place on WP. We might as well write articles about every purok (place) or kanto (street corner) in the Philippines, in the same flawed logic that just because a street such as EDSA or Mendiola has its article, then some unknown private alley should also get its article just because the article's writer lives there. Addenda I might as well include the redirect to this article under the name Pulong Buhangin. --- Tito Pao 01:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually there were some previous barangay-related AFDs, and most of them were to keep. However, I still believe a barangay is by default unnotable. Either one is notable or all are unnotable. So delete for me. --Howard the Duck 02:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep - A real place. A barangay is a Phillipine version of a small government district, usually that of a town or village and sometimes a district of a larger city (like a borough). Towns are inherently notable. --Oakshade 04:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- They're not exactly towns... towns are the municipalities... barangays are neighborhoods or French communes. --Howard the Duck 15:10, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - unless a barangay is notable should it have its own article. And even then, information about barangays - and there are about 42,000 of them - would probably be best kept in the municipality or city's article. --Chris S. 04:06, 16 April 2007 (UTC). I change my vote to Neutral. --Chris S. 04:20, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Of course there are around 42,000 of them - They are actual towns, villages and districts where people live in in a very populous Asian nation, that's why Wikipedia considers municipalities inherently notable. Even more imporatant than city neighborhoods (ie:Larchmont, Los Angeles, California) because, unlike city neibhborhoods, barangays are actual governments that administer the services in them. --Oakshade 04:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Question: about how many people live here? We are relatively strict about city neighborhoods; many are home to 50 or 100,000 people, and not all of them are included. It seems "neighborhood" is the nearest comparison.DGG 04:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But if it's an actualy govenment district with governing body made up of a legislative council and committees, then it's much more than a simple neighborhood that doesn't have such entities. --Oakshade 04:44, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It has a population of 23,069. This is much larger than the usual population of a barangay, by the way (usually under 5000). TheCoffee 06:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I appreciate Oakshade's attempt to save the article. However, I believe having a lot of barangay articles would be too unwieldy. Given the way provinces split as fast as an amoeba and cities pop up like mushrooms in the Philippines, it would be hard to manage changes to the affected barangays. I live here but I already lost count how many new ones sprung up during the last decade. I suggest we cut this in the bud before it overwhelms wikipedia. As Chris S. suggested, let's add a barangay if it is notable enough.--Lenticel 06:35, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep. Barangays are the smallest unit of government (subdivisions of towns) in the Philippines, so small that most of them don't have any verifiable information aside from census data and government officials. I note Oakshade's view, but I still think barangays should be dealt on a case-to-case basis. In this case, there does seem to be enough Google hits and references for it to be notable. TheCoffee 06:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Additional comment. Per DGG, I would agree that a barangay can also be compared to a neighborhood, except that for historical and administrative reasons, barangays are incorporated as a limited version of a local government unit (LGU) like a city, province and region (AFAIK, there is a so-called law titled Barangay Code in the Philippines). However, it isn't exactly sa powerful as, say, a city government in that most of the functions of a barangay involve minor administrative functions (such as the issuance of a residence tax certificate and arbitration of very minor neighborhood disputes); in addition, barangays are essentially dependent on their municipal or city government, fiscally and administratively. Also, it's very, very rare for a single barangay to be as notable as the town/city, if not more so. So, yes, on these points, not all neighborhoods can be notable enough for a WP article, even if it's a large barangay. Which is my contention as a resident of the province of Bulacan. Pulong Buhangin is one of many barangays that I know of, but I'm not sure it's notable enough to be on WP.

I took a look at the borough article, and I'll have to disagree with the comparison because a barangay is too small and too weak, administratively and legally, to be considered as a borough or town or city. In Manila, yes, there are some districts which can be considered as the historical barangays that made up Manila (e.g. Sta. Ana, Tondo, Sampaloc...these used to be considered as the principal Manila barangays), but as far as the government and the law is concerned, these barangays do not exist anymore because they have been subdivided into their proper barangays ("Barangay 74, Zone 1, Purok 3" anyone?). And there are potentially hundreds of these in Metro Manila, which on their own might not be notable enough.

In Pulong Buhangin's case, this is the same barangay as it was historically and administratively. Having said that, I'd want to contest the article's notability on its own merit, not just on the basis of its population. Most of the Google hits for "Pulong Buhangin" return sites for directories and classified ads, but very little (if any) material that could be used for a WP article. --- Tito Pao 12:00, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My first inclination here was to !vote keep per WP:LOCAL, as the general consensus is that inhabited towns/cities etc are inherently notable, and the fact that a barangay has an elected government would lead me to believe that is good enough for inclusion. However I must admit that it's hard to find a comparison to make in terms of municipal/local government here in the United States, as to whether a barangay is more than just a "neighborhood", I cannot definitively say. So, going on the assumption that the closest analogy is "neighborhood" I would say weak delete based on lack of sources supporting notability. Arkyan  ^(talk) 15:40, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The closest US anaogy is not "neighborhood" as neighborhoods don't have independent governments with elected officials like towns and cities do. --Oakshade 16:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I repeat, barangays are not "towns", the towns, translated into Tagalog, bayan, are the municipalities. The closest comparison would be the communes of France. --Howard the Duck 10:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Actually, many neighborhoods do have such organization. There are community boards, and also overlapping utility districts, historical districts, business improvement districts, police districts, fire districts, sanitary districts, water districts, library districts, and on and on, usually elected, sometime appointed. (Where I live the community zoning board is where the action is.) In a wiki of local interest to a region then probably every one of them would be included. But this is a general encyclopedia. DGG 06:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That depends on what's defined as a "neighborhood." In the traditional American sense, most of those things you mentioned, ie library districts, water districts, police districts, fire districts, etc. are in fact governed by county, city and town (sometimes called "township") governments, not neighborhoods. At least in California, the term "neighborhood" refers to sections of such places that are not independent government districts. For example, Noe Valley, San Francisco, California is a distictive neighborhood, but it has none of those "districts" you mention. All of those services are provided and governed by the city and county of San Francisco. A barangay does have those entities. --Oakshade 06:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll give it a look. Don't assume the familiar is non-notable. I notice a few other apparently non-notable ones are being proposed for deletion recently, so the situation may be on the way to resolution. DGG 07:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wow, some of you should not be posting here. I can agree with you if you say this article is not worthy for wikipedia because it can not be verified, but to imply that it is self-published or 'crankery' is uncalled for. I received the pamphlet, was confident that the geometry was 'established', but didn't see an article on Wikipedia so I wrote one. No, I didn't check Google before because I don't like referring to google as my primary source of info. Otherwise, feel free to delete, but next time don't make quick assumptions. Burnedthru 20:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If there was more substance to the VSG article, making it clear it was really something that could be called geometry, that would go a long way to convincing people it's worthy of being called geometry. But the article is extremely sketchy, and contains blanket hyperbolic statements such as everything is everything which make it not worthwhile reading, let alone content for an encyclopedia. We're not here for spectacle, an encyclopedia is for reference of hard facts. spectacle is promotion and belongs in another venue. If you feel like this has been a great injustice, on your user page you could attempt to write a more compelling sketch and propose it for adoption. But without more facts on the ground like research papers, I doubt it'll go anywhere. Rybu 18:42, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this seems like pretty much nonsense. It appears that it's simply Euclidean geometry with an a method to identify the end-points of lines. Not only does this not clearly even form a geometry - a proof would have to be produced showing that it's consistent. I suspect this is someone's pet project - and is thus non-notable. --Haemo 21:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, if everything really is everything, this is the geometry of the plane where the isometry group is the group of homeomorphisms of

{\displaystyle \mathbb {R} ^{2))

. If Bess has non-trivial theorems about the group of homeomorphisms of

Alfred Wentworth[edit]

One appearance as a main character, but not even close to being the biggest role (both detectives and attorneys are bigger roles). Not only that, but it's only an appearance in the pilot, and in one of the lesser-aired seasons (look at TNT; an episode featuring Benjamin Stone is rare, except at 4:00 AM). Additionally, the article lacks references and at no point does it assert any notability. A Link to the Past (talk) 02:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Er, is that an argument for keeping it or an argument for redirecting if kept? - A Link to the Past (talk) 02:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - It's an argument for following WP:FICT's guideline number 3 to redirect minor characters wikipedia entries to a list of characters which contains the description of that character. This is problematic for the Law_&_Order_characters page because it contains no descriptions of any character. Phuff 17:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The significance of his role (District Attorney) makes him notable enough. -- Freemarket 05:50, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The character lacks both real world notability and, Hell, he's not even a notable character in the show. Being in a single episode of a show, no matter how big it is, pretty much ensures lack of notability unless he became particularly popular. Do you have anything to show that this character is particularly well-known, well-liked, or is a subject of popular culture, more so than many other one-time characters? - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:21, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Since there is no actual description about the character, I for deleting the article, but redirecting it to Law_&_Order_characters.

Delete I am the individual who created the article in the belief that a comprehensive thorough list of ALL radio stations regardless of size would give Wikipedia more notariety and credibility in the Radio Industry as a one stop site for research relating to the overall trends and insights in radio; especially the relatively new medium of Low Power FM. My goal is in line with Wikipedia Radio Project to do my part to one day give the Radio Station section Wikipedia Portal Status. Perhaps i'm a little myopic and biased as I am passionate about radio and consider ALL FCC licensed radio stations to be relevant whether or not they are in the middle of nowhere or in New York City. I still support deletion as Wikipedia is not my personal site and I respect the consensus of my fellow Wikipedians. Bottom line - I respect your wishes and though I may personally disagree, I respect and admire people who are considerate enough to not simply delete the article and articulately explain their reasoning - so you have my vote for deletion.

Wren's Nest[edit]

I am nominating this article on a council housing estate for deletion because I can see no notability claimed or sources listed. I did a Google search and while I can verify it's existence, I still see no claim to notability. killing sparrows 04:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All geographic places are inherently notable. Cheers, DWaterson 08:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. As above. Andy Mabbett 10:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup. The article contains a lot of unnecessary trivia about the estate's awfulness, but scarcely mentions Wren's Nest Hill's central claim to notability: as the link says, it's a classic British geological site that was pivotal to Murchison's establishemnt of the Silurian. There's plenty of material at the Dudley Council page. Tearlach 14:03, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve. Not all geographical places are inherently notable in spite of the above comments to that effect. The general consensus with WP:LOCAL is that inhabited places, ie. towns, cities, villages and other independent settlements are inherently notable, but this article does not specify Wren's Nest is any of these things - it is defined as an "area" with no sources to either corroborate or clarify this for us. The information provided by Tearlach is enough to establish notability for the nature reserve, however, and information pertaining to it should be moved to an appropriately named article, with the other non-notable information excised. Arkyan  ^(talk) 15:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: well, the article does refer to the Wren's Nest council housing estate, a housing estate being in itself an inhabited place. I note for example that the police describe it as a "neighbourhood" here, though reference to a map of the area would also confirm that it is a built-up settlement. Cheers, DWaterson 17:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Admittedly I am somewhat unclear on what a housing estate is. Part of the problem with WP:LOCAL is that it is largely US-centric in terms of defining things like city, town, settlement and so forth. At first blush it looks to me something like a housing development - which usually aren't notable. Is it an independent entity, seperate from a city/town/village, or is it a neighborhood of an existing settlement? That's where the line would be drawn I think, understanding that better might help refine my opinion. Arkyan  ^(talk) 17:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Well, housing estate provides a fairly reasonable definition. In this case, you are right that the Wren's Nest estate is not an independent settlement entity - it is a part of Dudley and I suppose that "neighbourhood" would be the correct term to apply, though I think I would use "suburb". But I disagree at this being the place where you draw the line for notability - I would normally consider most suburbs to be notable. I would draw the line at individual streets, but a particular suburb can very easily have its own distinct character and identity from its parent town that creates notability in its own right. Otherwise, if we draw the line at this point, we would need to start nominating many other articles for deletion en masse. In any case, I'm not sure that WP:LOCAL is the correct guideline against which to assess notability - not only is that guideline inactive, it is also about places of local interest such as "churches, historic buildings, breweries, malls, masts, neighbourhoods, parks, schools, and streets", rather than the places themselves. Cheers, DWaterson 18:58, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A look at, say, Castle Vale or any of the linked pages in Council house#Examples gives plenty of precedent for the notability of UK housing developments. Such estates are a significant fixture of post-WWII UK urban history; often they have a distinctive architecture and ethos, as well as incorporating (at least nominally) some historical connection with the rural areas they were built on. Tearlach 19:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you both for the feedback. I understand that WP:LOCAL is inactive, although I was more referring to some of the somewhat recent discussion that had gone on in the talk page regarding the status of minor settlements. I have seen some other AfD's coming up as of late that is starting to further muddle the issue, so I'm contemplating bringing it back up in a broader discussion again ...

In any case, the impression I get is that these housing estates are somewhere along the lines of a neighborhood or housing development. In terms of US cities, at least, when I think "suburb" I tend to think of an independent city that shares a common urban area with a larger city, rather than being a part of that larger city itself. In my experience on AfD's for these types of articles, neighborhoods and developments are not granted "inherent notability" but are forced to rely on the broader WP:N guidelines for establishing notability, such as some sources to verify cultural or historical significance to the region.

I still feel that most of the established notability is for the nature reserve and not the estate, and that information should be moved out into its own article. If some soruces can be found to show the estate itself is notable, and not just for neighboring the nature reserve, then I would not be opposed to keeping it and having the article split, but without more information my recommendation would still be to put the emphasis on the notable reserve and rename accordingly. Arkyan  ^(talk) 19:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and rewrite to primarily focus upon the nature researve which is what mainly makes it notable. However prefer to keep current name and cover the estate as both in Dudley and not enough information for 2 articles. Davewild 17:34, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep This article needs a lot of work but the Wren's Nest area is important to industrial archeologists, naturalists, geologists, waterways enthusiats etc. Martin Cordon 21:38, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment from nominator. Create an article, Wren's Nest National Nature Reserve, which would contain the bulk of the current article (most all of which was added after my nomination and is notable!), and the bits on the housing estate could be added to the Dudley article. The estate section is still just about a housing project and has no apparent notability. I guess re: the above arguments on whether this place is notable, I feel that just because something exists, and has been written about, that fact alone does not necessarily make it worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. Apologies to anyone who lives there, but who cares? Sure, we've got lots of server space, but we don't have the human resources to patrol, copyedit, cleanup, etc. articles about everything and everyone that is reported on in every newspaper everywhere. If approved I will create the article and move the relevent material. Please notify me of the outcome or send the article to me (userfy). Thanks --killing sparrows 00:02, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of important and famous Baby Boomers[edit]

I am nominating this list for deletion because it seems to me that the criteria for inclusion are sufficiently broad that the list's contents cannot be effectively constrained.

Comment: These are all peer-reviewed academic journals from an apparently reputable academic publisher. My university library also subscribes to Emerald. It actually seems that an article on Emerald Group Publishing Limited has already been speedy deleted as advertising.

Pharamond 06:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You've made my week. In general its been possible to show that every published peer-reviewed journal is notable--, at least the ones in Web of Science and other indexes, but this may be a case where sections may be more appropriate. I will also write a completely new article on the company, and there will be no problem keeping it, as they have been specifically the topic of several published works. Stephen, a good catch. DGG 07:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep for International Journal of Physical Distribution & Logistics Management . This journal has actually been rated by several independent raters, summarized in the peer-reviewed article cited (& not published by Emerald), and considered 1st, 2nd, or 6th among the 12 specialty transportation journals using various measures. Thus, I think by our rules it is inescapably notable, even though it is not in Social Science Citation Index, my usual criterion (The authors are university faculty, though primarily not from the US. SSCI is very US-centric for applied journals; Scopus is more balanced.).

Articles about journals traditionally have some puffery--everything is a "leading international journal" or the like. When seen, such comments just need to be removed. Though as you will see there is some reason to be suspicious of the quality of Emerald journals, this one is OK. (to be continued) DGG 00:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for Supply Chain Management: an International Journal. It is in SSCI and JCR, and ranks about midway in its group. Since JCR covers about the top quarter of peer-reviewed journals in the firs place, this is a respectable performance. The authors are mostly academics,not businessmen. DGG 00:14, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
merge for International Marketing Review. It is in Social Science Citation Index, probably because it has been published a relatively long time, but unfortunately its impact factor puts it in the bottom 15% of its group. This is only a rough way of assessing journals, and all the caveats are discussed at Journal Citation Reports and Impact Factor, but it is relevant for the comparison of similar journals in the same field. When I add the publisher article, I'll merge in the essentials.DGG 00:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
merge for Accounting, Auditing & Accountability Journal , unless I can find out some more. It isn't in ISI and I have no other quantitative information. There are other ways of evaluating , but they're complicated-- You can look at how many libraries have the journal--which is not that useful as it once as because because Emerald like many major publishers sells most of its journals as packages--which also mess up subscription numbers. You look at a sample who publishes in it, and what their academic reputation is. You collect opinions of specialists. One look And so on. for now, I'd be very content to merge it in the general article. DGG 00:33, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
keep for the moment for Journal of Knowledge management. This is a new field; there are at most 10 journals in it, & this is one of just 2 of them to be included in Scopus. (None are in Web of Science.) I'd suggest keeping it on that basis. I think it's at least respectable, and the authors are academics. DGG 03:36, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

List of eugenicists[edit]

This "list of eugenicists" is unsourced and contains no information that wouldn't work just as well as a category (for those who self-identify or self-identified as eugenicists, at least). There is also no definition given for what a "eugenicist" is - is it someone who advocates that people with severe defects voluntarily choose not to reproduce? Is it someone who encourages the supposedly 'fit' to have more children? Or is it someone who forces involuntary sterilization on or murders people based on supposed eugenics principles? You'll find members of all three groups in this list, with no clarification as to who believed/believes what.

Delete Francis Crick? really? Charles Darwin? Why? Presumably because his cousin, Francis Galton, invented the term, does everyone who is on this list have their cousins included as well?

Also, the term once encompassed pretty much everything that we now call behavioural genetics and much more, do we include everyone who published in the Journal of biosocial science (formerly Eugenics review), or Annals of human genetics (formerly Annals of eugenics)?

Aaron Altscher[edit]

Article in current state fails to meet notability guidelines for people. The subject of the article was a former contestant on the reality television show, The Apprentice LA, sixth season. The only claim to notability is by way of a contestant on the show. Seven days earlier, I had expressed my concern on the notability of the article subject by way of a ((notability)). Given that the subject of the article was on a widely syndicated/watched television reality show, and no improvements have been made since then, I believe, it is fairly safe to assume that this individual is not notable.

Article for a recent event that took place at Virginia Commonwealth University - it's a moon pie eating contest, simple as that, but events aren't speedy deletion candidates.

Lower Mainland-Vancouver Island[edit]

The subject doesn't appear to exist. I've lived in Vancouver for years and this is the first I've heard that these two metro areas are beginning to form into a single urban area. Frankly, it's an absurd claim, and certainly not notable or attributable to any credible source. bobanny 07:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete - Per nom. Erroneous implication for a non-existent/conjectured urban area, which, when one looks at the actual geographic masses in the title :"Vancouver Island" and "Lower Mainland", consists of an area considerably larger than Belgium. Most of the former is relatively sparsely settled, particularly on its northern half.--Keefer | Talk 07:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's nothing wrong with such a large "urban area", the US Census bureau, for example, identifies a number of extremely large "metropolitan areas" for statistical reasons. Nevertheless, there is no indication that thsi particular area actually exists, and one could say it's original research but it looks more like just something someone made up.

Neogoth[edit]

newly coined neologism. This article cites no independant or reliable sources for "neogoth". It contradicts itself saying neogoths are members of the goth subculture and at the same time neogoths are a counter movement. It advances original positions such as that cybergoth originated inside the goth subculture. in searching for the term neogoth I can only find 2 cd's both sold by Cleopatra records using the label neogoth (and neither CD actually contains the contents of this wikipage, but rather are music compilations and nothing more). No bands are promoted by anyone as "neogoth".. no one on the internet seems to say "I am a neogoth". google searching turns up no reliable references on neogoth (but many which point back to wiki). and www.neogoth.net is nothing but a placeholder on the name. neogoth.com is for sale. neogoth.org is some kind of error message page. I can not find any reliable independant sources to attibute this information to and I've tried. TheDarknessVisible 07:49, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete There is no "modern goth subculture". There's a goth subculture which hasn't changed much since the 80s and just call themselves "goths", and there are a bunch of subcultures inspired by it (dark wave, electroclash, ethereal wave, even boho & emo) who would sooner die than refer to themselves as "neogoths" (well, a lot of them would sooner die than anything, because the world doesn't understand them and it's all so unfair, but you get the picture).

Planetary mass type[edit]

This is basically a neologism. A search on Google for "'planetary mass type' -Wikipedia" turns up no articles that use the phrase. A search at the ADS Abstract Service also shows that this phrase is not used in astronomy. Planet already covers much of the material presented here, but it includes references and generally accepted scientific terminology. In contrast, planetary mass type may contain original research. This article should therefore be deleted. Dr. Submillimeter 08:01, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If the classification system in the article is astronomy standard, keep: 7 ordinary pages point to it for the information in it: this info was likely put in its own file, not in Planet, so users would not have to download and ferret through all of Planet for this information. This article is here for the information, not for the name: its author had to call this page something. If this page could have had a better name, rename it. If the information is adequately duplicated in another Wikipedia page, redirect. Anthony Appleyard 08:55, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Moreover, the introduction now clearly indicates that this violates Wikipedia:Conflict of interest. Dr. Submillimeter 22:46, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - The first reference, which appears to refer to the origin of the classification system, should refer to a primary of secondary source see WP:OR. This reference does not refer to anything and is therefore an invalid reference.

Nikos Tzouannis[edit]

Not-notable journalist. Before seeing the Wikipedia article I did not even know him. Never heard of him. He works for NOVA Greece and that is all. Is that enough to make him notable? Definitely not one of the well-know Greek sportcasters. If you search in Google, putting the Greek characters, you will have a link telling you that he took some interviewes during a Olympiacos-Panathinaikos match (he was not the main or one of the main sportcasters during the match!), and that he played in a match between journalists! Now, if you click the English name, you'll find only the Wikipedia's article about him. In any case, I do not base my arguments on just Google search. This is just another argument that he is not notable. Yannismarou 08:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I created these pages because I thought I was being helpful. There is a page called List of schools in Tasmania with lots of red links for pages to be created so I had a few hours free and decided to pitch in and start creating them. I have no knowledge of any of these places. I would not have bothered if I thought they were going to be deleted. I have very little spare time so it is fustrating to find I have wasted it. I thought 'red links' were links where a page was required? Can anyone suggest how I might contribute in future without haveing all my efforts deleted? Also, it seems to me that if a self-interested private school creates their own page, it stays, whereas state funded school don't seem to be important. Just a thought. MrsPlum 22:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Before doing this work it would have been a good idea to discuss it at a talk page I guess - either Talk:List of schools in Tasmania, or Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Tasmania might have been good places to try. Unfortunately this does happen that when articles are created without finding sources first then what is created is a directory-style stub which does not show that the subject of the article is at all notable. Garrie 23:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - First off, thanks for being helpful and trying to resolve redlinks. If more people did this, Wikipedia would be a much better place. Second, the proposed deletion is no reflection on your work, its just that it appears the articles don't meet the notability guidelines for schools. Schools need to have some notable feature(s) other than their existence - for example, interesting architecture, a number of famous alumni, or a record of winning nationally significant competitions. Many schools can meet these criteria, but these current articles don't include that kind of info. Have a look at WP:SCHOOLS for an idea of the kind of information that might justify a school article.Euryalus 02:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. I should have added - WP:SCHOOLS is not official policy, but it is a useful guideline nonetheless. Check out the active links at the top of its page for more current conversations on schools articles. Euryalus 02:57, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- List of schools in Tasmania doesn't appear to show there being any huge variation in the number of articles created between private schools, and public schools? (Percentage wise there may be, but that is because of the sheer volume of primary schools, most of which were added in a red-linked form, by an anon user in November 2005). (I'm also not sure why you assume that an article about a private school must have been created by the school itself?) -- Chuq (talk) 02:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, no evidence of notability has been provided for any of the schools listed above. If sources can be found to show individual notability then the articles can be recreated in the future.Ga rr ie 23:02, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I don't support standalone articles on these schools unless there is enough material supporting a standalone article. It would be good if there was a page on the school districts or however they organise their schools in Tasmania. Capitalistroadster 02:41, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Good idea, the list of schools in Tasmania page could be re-arranged into a tabular format with some basic information about each school - like List of schools in the Australian Capital Territory -- Chuq (talk) 02:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a great idea, and should be done for all states and territories, with a separate list for each state. Larger states may need breaking down using some method such as region, type, school system etc. I would be willing to help out on this--Mattinbgn/^talk 03:30, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep - If the tens of thousands of United States town articles created automatically by User:Rambot a few years ago are kept, I see no reason why these shouldn't be kept also. However, it would help if these article had a bit more content than the name of the town they are in and an external link to the schools website. If keep fails (and it looks like it will), redirect primary schools - either to the town/suburb article, the high school that it feeds into, or a general list article. If not redirected, they will only be re-created later by someone else. -- Chuq (talk) 02:58, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't think there is a problem with someone creating South Arm Primary School if they can establish notability & cite their sources. So I don't particularly see the need to turn these articles into redirects, the articles haven't been around very long anyway (and I don't think they have many incoming links).Garrie 04:21, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - The good thing is that we can create them as redirects, and they can be converted into articles later if the notability increases. -- Chuq (talk) 07:13, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Subterrestrial[edit]

This is effectively a neologism being used to describe planets that are the size of Mercury and Mars. The term is generally not used this way within astronomy as revealed by a search through my textbooks, Google, and the ADS Abstract Service.

Clairredolence[edit]

This page contains information on a non-notable area of parapsychology. The subject matter is mostly a romanticized new age idea that has been tagged onto parapsychology by its own believers, rather than by parapsychologists. After a brief period of research, I was unable to verify that this topic existed outside of a "fringe of a fringe", and can assert that it hasn't even succeeded in attracting of notable kooks, let alone serious investigators/well known pseudoscientists.

The topic also does not exist in popular fiction. The closest that I've found to a reference to it were a couple of "related incidents" in TV shows (a Doctor Who episode in which somebody smells a familiar smell around what they think is a ghost of a relative, and a scene from the movie poltergeist where a spirit runs through somebody and leave a distinctive odor behind). In these cases, it is referenced through an action, but it never named.

In brief, it's not notable, and should be deleted.

The result was NO CONSENSUS TO DELETE. The raw total is 11-5 Delete. But its not a vote. The Keep commentors make the point that (1) It's notable (this is true), (2) It's sourced (this is true) and (3) this is sufficient for the article to be kept absent a compelling reason to delete it. This is a pretty strong position; we don't often delete well-sourced articles on notable subjects. The Keep commentors has a variety of arguments. Is it a POV fork? [User:The Behnam|The Behnam] notes "[W]e have had complaints that it is both too anti-Iran and also too pro-Iran." That doesn't sound like a POV fork to me; I would say that if you have complaints from two opposed camps that you're probably doing something right. Aarktica makes the point "[A]nything that has CURRENT in the title — while news-worthy — is hardly encyclopedic." This is a good point, but not fatal; it appears that it's encyclopedic now and I guess it can be renamed, merged, or delete if and when it is no longer notable. The agrument is made that it's original research, which may be true; but the considerable sourcing tends to belie this, granted it doesn't completely negate it, per Mardavich's comment. For the rest, commentors mainly assert that its unnecessary and unhelpful. But this is not a telling argument when others claim that it is useful and helpful to the Wikipedia. Because of the "vote" totals and the variety of the Delete arguments, I think No Consensus is called for rather than a straight-out Keep. Herostratus 14:13, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Current international tensions with Iran[edit]

Keep: This is not a POV fork. Its a significant series of events that cannot be incorporated into any other article without making it unwieldy. Also it has many related sub-articles that would loose any connectivity if this main article is deleted.

When the article was created, the events already were tied together by Foreign relations of Iran. It's not clear why we need an article that focuses only on the tensions, and doesn't include the aspects of Iran's foreign policy that other countries can agree with. And there's no clear reason that we need the summary of current events to be separated from the summary of historical events (especially when foreign relations of Iran has long addressed both). --Interiot 07:26, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep It's a decent article with lots of sources on an important current issue. So long as a variety of people keep contributing to it, and offer both sides of the story, then it's legitimate - although it could degenerate into another edit war at any time of course. The fact that there's been such an intense debate about it on the talk page shows that a variety of views are being expressed so I don't see the problem. There wouldn't be any articles on politics if they were all deleted for being contentious, it's the nature of the beast. Nick mallory 12:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Too much of an 'analysis' tying things together as if they are related. While they might be, not everybody agrees about the way this unity is presented. I mean, seriously, we have had complaints that it is both too anti-Iran and also too pro-Iran. That's just absurd. Of course, the information itself is good and should be relegated elsewhere, but this article seems to be too much of a construction. I am, however, willing to reconsider if I see some good case for it, but this article has been unworkable for weeks and I have come to believe that it may be a fundamental flaw.

Delete. The article definitely started as OR/POV (named Iran international crisis), and people have worked to improve it over time, but even if made fully NPOV, it's not clear there's a purpose for this article. All of the issues covered are already covered at Foreign relations of Iran, History of the Islamic Republic of Iran, or one of the more detailed articles under Category:Foreign relations of Iran. As pointed out on the talk page, we don't have any other article that covers just the most recent events while archiving historical events to History of the Islamic Republic of Iran, except in Portal: space. Or if it's going to go the other way (eventually renamed to something like the 2008 US-Iran war if something serious does happen), then it's crystal-balling to try to predict when the peak in tensions is, or that the tensions will result in hostilities rather than diplomatic resolution. --Interiot 17:04, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

However, this would be an example of a new synthesis of published material serving to advance a position, and as such it would constitute original research. "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published this argument in relation to the topic of the article." --Mardavich 21:18, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Those articles were brought up three months ago on the talk page [11], but some of the editors seemed intent on describing the current situation as a crisis [12], a crisis that involves multiple countries [13].

Keep Article isn't a POV fork, it discusses genuine tensions with Iran, especially from 2003 onwards when Ahmadinejhad was elected. The article is well sourced and is certainly notable. Although individual pages exist for many aspects, e.g. nuclear program of iran, this page serves as something of a summary, and we must remember that tensions exist with iran over more than just its nuclear research.

- Comment Hate to disagree, but I'll bet one months' salary that it doesn't exist. First, I live in the province where this university is supposed to exist. At present, there are less than 10 tertiary institutions with university status, and this one isn't it. If it was, people here would know about it. It also claims that it has its own conservatory of music, but the truth is there are no music conservatories in the province of Bulacan (otherwise, why would the musicians in my province go to Manila to pursue their music education?); so do the other institution in this dubious "university", judging by their names (facilities in "CityLand Pulong Buhangin" which is likely a residential subdivision, "StarsBorn Institute" which reeks of the StartStruck TV series in the Philippines ("where stars are born"), and both "University of Bermillo" and "Ryan College" which looks like the invention of someone named Ryan Bermillo). In addition, the links on Google are either mirrored articles of the WP article, or submitted links to Alumni.net which, to the best of my knowledge, does not verify if organizations exist (members on this website can add their own organizations) and hence cannot be considered a reliable resource. --- Tito Pao 13:13, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tibia (computer game) (2nd nomination)[edit]

Delete - Only assertion of notability is a big number. Unsourced beyond fansites. Fails WP:ATT, WP:RS, WP:V, WP:N and WP:WEB. DarkSaber2k 12:17, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Don't delete - Big number is sufficient assertion, in my opinion. This game has been mentioned in Polish media regarding its addictiveness, so it is certainly having a cultural impact. Anything with a cultural impact should be reachable via Wikipedia. Ivucica 14:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This debate has been added to the list of CVG deletions. DarkSaber2k 12:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, per the fact that this game has been ported to both Linux and a portable phone edition, as well as having had a firefox add-on developed to search the web for Tibia information. I've also found the following articles:

[14] <- ~~Indicates that Tibia is large enough to attract people trying to scam accounts~~ Sorry, this is actually another ten year announcement from a different source.

[15] <- This is the account scamming announcement.

[16] <- Indicates a total player base of 250,000 players

[17] <- Announces the fact Tibia has been around for ten years

I've seen others as well, but the computer I'm on refuses to load IGN and a few other sites, so I can't see if there's anything there. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 14:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- As I pointed out by linking to WP:BIGNUMBER, length of time and number of players are not useful for establishing notability. The article still fails WP:ATT, WP:RS, WP:V, WP:N and WP:WEB. We have one story about account scamming, but then again, any web game that offers premium and free accounts attracts scammers. DarkSaber2k 14:32, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - That still doesn't address link 3, an independant article which announces the fact the game's been around for ten years. I imagine that when I get home tonight I'll be able to scrounge up more sources in addition to those three. Plus, the article on account scamming is notable because it's a third party announcement. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 14:36, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Actually, I did, it was the scammer story I didn't refute, just pointed out that having people trying to scam accounts on a game isn't exactly notable in itself.. WP:BIGNUMBER has numerous other related things on it, one of which mentions the length of time something has been around. DarkSaber2k 14:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'd argue that WP:BIGNUMBER doesn't apply here. This is not a first party source claiming that Tibia's been around for ten years, but an independant third party doing an article on Tibia being in existence for ten years. That's a big difference. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 14:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I disagree, as your are trying to assert 'It has been around ten years, it's notable' 'It's notable because it has 250,000 players.' Which is exactly what WP:BIGNUMBER is describing. BUT, the fact that there are articles at all goes some small way towards notability. DarkSaber2k 14:45, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        No, that's NOT my argument. The contents of the articles indicates that Tibia has been around for ten years. My assertion of notability here is that Tibia is notable enough that two third party sources felt it was important enough to write articles about it being a decade old. I'm not saying "Tibia is ten years old and is thus notable", I'm saying "Tibia had two articles written about it being ten years old and is thus notable". If I wanted to just go for WP:BIGNUMBER, I'd just state the fact that according to the last AFD, the game's homepage was under 1,500 according to Alexa's traffic rankings. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 14:50, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        
        I get you now, sorry for the misunderstanding. DarkSaber2k 14:54, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        No worries. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 18:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

keep WP:BIGNUM is not policy and I don't agree with it. This game has a LOT of players (hundreds of thousands) world-wide (note 11 other languages whose wikipedias have articles about it), has a high Alexa ranking, a large fan-base, and is known by a lot of people, and therefore has wide impact. That's what notability is. It does need citations for its content, of course, but that's not what AfD is for.

Weak Keep - It may sound like an implausible idea, but the author has provided multiple sources, some of which qualify as reliable under WP:RS. As such, it just about passes the "multiple non-trivial coverage" criterion in WP:N. I'm not sure all the information in the article is verifiable, and it does need a cleanup, but that's not necessarily a reason for deletion. Walton ^{Vivat Regina!} 17:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (but not speedy) - the Time article is real but none of the cited sources describe a cartel or even use the word.

Delete per Resurgent insurgent above.

Delete. There is the possibility of a merge with Toilet as an incidental paragraph in a new section entitled Low flush toilets. The "Cartel" in question is purely a humorous phrase used by Dave Barry in relation to Canadian regulation on low flush toilets. The "references" in the article are mainly to the introduction of low flush toilets in Canada. Other than a link to Barry's book, the only reference to the Cartel is in reference 3 - the other references are about low flush toilets. The article - intentional or not - as it stands is more of a support for Dave Berry's book than an article of merit in an encyclopedia. SilkTork 18:41, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Westwood Tunnels[edit]

This is an unecyclopedic account apparently based on nothing more than student hearsay without published sources (perhaps added by those involved or their friends - it may be true, but Wikipedia rules insist that everything is supported by reputable published sources) and does not add anything useful to the section on the Westwood Tunnels in the main Warwick University entry, which summarises the main information in this article, but itself lacks sources. This article also fails the notability test. ThomasL 17:25, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Theoretical periodic table with 8 atomic orbitals[edit]

Looks like uncited original research; even the atomic numbers, the whole basis for elemental positions on the Periodic table are not fully defined. We've already recently deleted pages for lots of "potential/future" elements and uncited names for groups of them (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Untribium and also those who remember User:Cosmium) on the basis of WP:CRYSTAL and that what we can say about them are just mathematical results and/or obvious trends. I'm taking to AfD because there are several inter-related pages here...bundling several forms of an uncited name for this non-existant group of elements. Looking further, I now see that we already have an extended periodic table at Periodic table (extended), which does include the actual useful info one would want (and can know). A redirect there for the 8-atomic-orbitals page might be reasonable if "Theoretical periodic table with 8 atomic orbitals" is a resonable page name or WP search term. DMacks 17:22, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep for now... Perhaps we can ask the author to provide some sources. Based on what I remember from my chemistry courses, the table appears accurate for what would happen with 8 orbitals. I don't think deletion is appropriate... just yet. - grubber 18:27, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Now that you bring up Periodic table (extended), it seems that these articles have significant overlap, and the "extended" version even goes out to 9 orbitals. The only difference I can see is that this AfD version uses a different coloring scheme. I personally prefer the "extended" version, and I'm not sure I see any reason to keep both. I'm tempted to change my vote. - grubber 19:42, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per Grubber. My understanding is that the strength of the periodic table is that it allows the prediction of yet undiscovered elements; and as such the series it predicts can be discussed meaningfully; it is not a mere crystal ball prediction. Note, though that octonium, linked here to element 121, seems to be something completely different. - Smerdis of Tlön 19:21, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Schmuck[edit]

None of the content seems to meet wikipedia guidelines.

Vernacular Usage - goes against Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a dictionary

Use in popular culture - Not references, not very notable - not encyclopaedic in the way it is written

Surname - Of the four people mention one (Roger Schmuck) doesn't have an article, two (Marcus Schmuck and Peter Schmuck) have stubs and one (Donald Schmuck) has an article that has been nominated for deleted on notability grounds with a result of no consensus - not the most notable bunch then.

Taking all of this into account I'm not really sure if this page it at all necessary - if you want to find the definition of the word there are many internet dictionaries that can be used - Wikipedia is not a dictionary. At the most this should be disambiguous page for people who's name is Schmuck (as suggested previously) - although taking into account their (small) number and lack of notability I don't think this would be necessary - with maybe a link to the List of English words of Yiddish origin article for information on the word. Any thoughts? Guest9999 17:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to List of English words of Yiddish origin, per a lack of encyclopedic content. It's essentially a dictionary definition. Cheers, Lankybugger ○ Yell ○ 17:31, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is not only a dicdef, it gives a bit more origin to the word, and shows some of its other background. The problem here is that there seems to be a very fuzzy line on what constitutes a dictionary definition - and while it defines the term, it also gives some background to it. Perhaps revisit it in a few months and see what it looks like. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 19:46, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This is essentially a disambiguation page. I will format it to look more like one shortly. -- Black Falcon 20:03, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have removed the "pop culture" section. Also as Dennis notes above, the article is borderline and probably could be expanded into a full-length article. However, even now I think it's fine as a disambiguation page. -- Black Falcon 20:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - If adding a background means that the article is not a dictionary definition then any word could have an article - especially in English where most words have a somewhat interesting history - essentially this makes the Wikipedia is not a dictionary policy redundant. [[Guest9999 23:09, 16 April 2007 (UTC)]][reply]
- Well, what I'm seeing is kind of weird. If it's a strict etymology cite, then yes, it's not only a dicdef, but a really good one. If you can flesh it out beyond an etymology (case in point...well, schmuck), then you might have something. The line's really fuzzy, though, as near as I can tell. Probably should bring it up in a talk page somewhere. --Dennis The Tiger (Rawr and stuff) 01:59, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another Comment - The information about the origins of the name seems to come from a website called Schmuck Fest [[21]] I don't know how reliable this is. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Guest9999 (talk • contribs)

Keep I came to the page specifically to look up the history and finer details of its vernacular usage and was enlightened as to its non-American meanings and histories through the page.

Delete unless better sources found; [22] is about the only reliable source now - not self-published, or a product sales listing, or a passing mention of the subject's name only. Fails WP:BIO as currently written. —Resurgent insurgent 2007-04-16 18:51Z

Strong keep: Plenty of adequate sources have been given: Tsarion is mentioned as being a "close friend" of Jordan Maxwell, whose article is no longer in deletion dispute (yet still has a "not verified" template, which can simply appear on Tsarion's page too). Tsarion is supposedly the grandson of Tara Singh [23] (not Tara Singh, however). Tsarion's appearance on the Sci Fi Channel documentary Quest for Atlantis, his Conspiracy Con (and other forum) appearances, and numerous radio interviews (of which the aformentioned Chris Pirillo source is) like Coast to Coast [24], Jeff Rense, and Kentroversy (Kent Daniel Bentkowski). He has been written about in The Stranger (Seattle newspaper). Tsarion is also part of the Horizon Project. He's got PLENTY of notability if you just do the basic research. Besides, WP:BIO and WP:RS, which Jefferson appears to religiously adhere to, are GUIDELINES, not POLICIES. See Talk:Michael Tsarion for more info. -Eep² 07:35, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have merged this into a new article, at Inventory items exclusive to Super Mario Bros. 3. I merged another article in, which I will bundle into this discussion shortly. Basically, I didn't think that it was enough of an article on its own. That is why I created the page with the long name to start with.

Librarians in popular culture (2nd nomination)[edit]

This article was nominated for deletion back in october, the result was: "Keep, nomination withdrawn". Only two arguments were put forward: that the list was useful, and that the Category:In popular culture exists to "keep the crap this out of the main articles". Furthermore, the debate was closed by a non-admin other than the one who nominated the page. This page is an indiscriminate list of librarians in popular culture, completely unmaintainable. Usefulness is not an inclusion criteria. Putting the trivia and unencyclopedic stuff in an article of its own does not make it any less encyclopedic.

Dr bab 20:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Ah, In Popular Culture, we meet again. Once more, there's another article about X in popular culture and once more, it consists basically entirely of an unreferenced catalog of virtually any mention of someone, or something, being, playing, seeing, doing, acting like, mentioning, or talking about, X. This is not the purpose of an in popular culture article. They are not meant to be the garbage heap of Wikipedia, where we throw all the unreferenced gibberish that drags down other articles - they are supposed to be encyclopedic articles about the portrayal of something in popular culture; NOT a pile of unreferenced trivia. --Haemo 21:08, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - I was goung to say keep it for inclusiveness, but Haemo and Dr bab's arguments make sense to me. But the references are amusing. Perhaps someone can move them to an ALA wiki page that would be easy for people to maintain. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 22:23, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, as indiscriminate as it gets. "World of Warcraft features several librarian characters"? "Questionable Content is another webcomic that recently began featuring a character who works in an academic library setting"? "Debbie gets friendly with a librarian in Debbie Does Dallas (1978)"? Krimpet (talk/review) 02:28, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, indiscriminate nomination. With respect to WP:IINFO and WP:TRIVIA, I'm having trouble seeing how this nom doesn't apply to the whole category or other article sections spread throughout WP. Although this list is not encyclopedic (or complete) in the traditional sense, to me it typifies the sort of valuable (and at times wacky) information that Wikipedia houses -- and I'd hate to see it go ahead of similar pieces. --John Hubbard 03:46, 17 April 2007 (UTC) (Librarian, and author of the linked Librarians: We're Not What You Think site, which some of this article's text is taken from.)[reply]
- Comment Several of the In popular culture articles are probably good candidates for deletion. That they exist is not an argument that we should keep this one too. Dr bab 08:09, 17 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment I give credit to John Hubbard for revealing his identity and his connection to the contents of the article. As I edit various pages here, I have noticed a definite pattern of page editing by top members of the American Library Association who do so anonymously, and by using sock puppets, and in a biased fashion. So to see librarian John Hubbard announce his identity and his interests is quite refreshing. Perhaps, to reward such behavior, this page could be put on a slow deletion timeline in respect of his interests and openness. --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 14:06, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep First the nominator did not recommend improving the article, or engage in any discussion to that effect with the authors, it should always be marked for improvement first, unless the article is total crap. This one is not total crap. It is actually useful. If it was improved upon it would be even more useful. If wikipedia has popular culture articles in regard to profesions, which it does, there is no reason to think that this one should be deleted more or less than any other on the basis of the aforementioned positions. Keep for utility, keep for improvement, and keep because nominating to delete an article that just needs improvement is wrong. The article is also encyclopedic, in that diderot had literary references (some even popular) to professions in the encyclopedia, as did the classic britannica. --Buridan 14:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I am sorry if you feel I should have "engaged in discussion" with the authors before nominating an article that is "not total crap". I am of the opinion that this article really is unsalvageable. It is a completely indiscriminate list of appearances, mentions etc. of librarians in all sorts of media. Please note that usefulness is not an inclusion criteria, nor is the existence of other "Popular culture" articles in worse state than this one. Dr bab 19:31, 17 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  - Comment The list is notable, it is encyclopedic. It needs improvement, not deletion. We disagree as to whether it is 'total crap'. --Buridan 19:33, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment - first of all, this is an article, not a list. Part of the fundamental problem with these kind of articles is that they are treated like lists, when they are not. Either actually bother to write an article about the topic in popular culture, or make it an actual list, so it can be deleted for being indiscriminate on that basis. Furthermore, I have no idea what it means for a "list" to be "notable", but I'm sure it's not an inclusion criteria. Furthermore, the arguments WP:USEFUL and WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS are not arguments for inclusion. This article has been around for a long time, so you really have no excuse for not referencing and improving it. You still have until this AFD ends to do it, so I suggest you trim all the unreferenced, or WP:OR, material and then comment here so people can re-evaluate how it's going in the mean-time. --Haemo 22:34, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - comment why don't you just dig out the citations instead of cutting it? why don't you want to improve the article? it is notable because it describes a notable profession in a significant context. --Buridan 03:55, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Comment - why don't I dig out the citations? It's not my job or something to root around for citations for an article - that's the job of people who want to keep this article. I did my good faith best to look around for some WP:RS for this article. I couldn't find any. I'm sorry, but that's just it. If you want to keep this article, then ensure that it meets WP:ATT - don't toss the burden onto other people. Furthermore, you still aren't making any sense - you claim this article is notable? What? First of all, that's not the reason for deletion - there is no doubt that being a librarian is a notable profession. However, even articles about something notable that completely fail WP:ATT get deleted. What you have is a collection of apparently unsource-able trivia - since neither I, or I assume, you, can find sources to back them up - yet you argue against deletion because "this article is notable". I'm sorry, but that ain't in the Wikipedia policies, and admins are empowered to disregard WP:AFD arguments not based - or in this case, pointedly contrary - to stated policy. --Haemo 23:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- - - - Comment This article is not a list, but it is still a 'listing', and might as well be named list of librarians in popular culture. If the article should be improved to an acceptable form, it would mean to cut away everything that is there now, as listcruft, and write a completely new article, that is actually an article, and not a list. If everything is to be cut, I say delete the article and leave the space empty until someone that cares about the subject (and there appear to be at least a couple) takes the time and effort to create a good, non-list article.Dr bab 08:54, 18 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Strong Keep I don't think that improving this article means throwing away the content: generally, if you're suggesting just 'getting rid of' content, you're not really trying to improve what you've got to work with. What the list *could* stand is a bit more meta-organization, and a bit of clarification w.r.t. the utility of the text. There's a lot of useful stuff collected together, here, and someone just needs to retroactively make some sense of it. Strong Keep, as the person nominating it for deletion has not done due diligence. --elijahwright 15:45, 18 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
- Comment User: elijahwright has made a single edit outside this debate.Dr bab 18:23, 18 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  - Comment I don't understand this obsession with how people arguing that this article does not meet standards are throwing away content, or are "refusing to help out" or "aren't doing due dilligence". First of all, people in AFD's are not required to do any of those things. Furthermore, if it's so easy to find sources, then why haven't any of the people arguing for keeping this article done that. I know I have - I looked for sources for many of the facts, and came up empty-handed. It really makes me upset when people start arguing that I haven't done any work, or am not trying to improve the encyclopedia. I work hard when I try to comment on an AFD, and it's totally contrary to WP:AGF to assert otherwise. As it stands, you're trying to keep this article because the people arguing that it fails WP:ATT haven't tried to improve this article. Not only is that patently untrue, and violates Wikipedia policy, but it's totally offensive. This is not an argument for inclusion - and it's vastly offensive to me, personally, and surely to other editors who are being tarred with the same insulting brush. --Haemo 23:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Can we all just get along like true wikipedians? Whether the article stays or goes, it can be discussed in a civil fashion. No? --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 03:59, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I agree with Hubbard, "it typifies the sort of valuable (and at times wacky) information that Wikipedia houses." It could just use a little cleaning up.Sils660 17:39, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment' - what? This doesn't even make sense. Wikipedia is WP:NOT an indiscriminate collection of material, and it's certainly not a collection of article which fail WP:ATT. Your argument is a pointed example of WP:ILIKEIT. --Haemo

KEEP! What harm is it doing to have this wiki up on the website? In fact, it is a great way to share with people just how prominent librarians are in the world since we often have the misfortune (and sometimes fortune) of disappearing behind the scenes. The whole purpose of a wiki is to assemble information for people to find easily - indexing the instances where librarians come up in pop culture is both fun and enlightening. If you feel left out, go start an "engineerss in popular culture" page or something. That could be fun, too.
- Comment - So, in other words it's WP:ILIKEIT] coupled with an insulting claim that people are arguing against keeping an article people they "feel left out". That's ridiculous and offensive. The purpose of Wikipedia is to collect information - however, that information must be reliable and meet WP:ATT. This article does neither - which is the entire rationale behind deletion - not whatever sort of insulting jealousy you've decided to attribute to me instead. --Haemo 23:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - comment fixing WP:ATT is easy, just do it. --Buridan 00:24, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Reply - I can't - that's the whole point! I've looked for WP:RS for this article, and I can't find any. If it's so easy, then why don't you be bold and do it? --Haemo 00:48, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The people arguing against this article's deletion have so far, in short, put forward the following arguments:
- It's useful
- There are other articles like this one
- They like it
- Or because it does no harm.

Neither of these are valid arguments. In addition, it seems, like Haemo pointed out, that some of them seems to be of the impression that the responsibility of fixing this article lies with the nominator, and the other people voting for deletion. This is false. Dr bab 06:25, 19 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]

VERY SUPER DUPER HIGH TENSILE STRENGTH REALLY STRONG DELETE: After evaluation of the argument above, the KEEPers are unpersuasive. The DELETEers are guided by and following Wiki policy. Wiki policy is the guide to follow. In this case, Wiki policy supports the deletion of this random list.

By the way, one of the five places to "visit" in the "Blues Clues" computer game for children is a library. Anyone want to add that fact to the list? --LegitimateAndEvenCompelling 11:54, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep just a plain keep. If it were a reasonable delete, there woud be no reason for the stressed words above. The role of librarians in popular culture is particularly interesting to most librarians, who generally think of most of it as denigrating their professional status. The attempts to compensate for this are similarly interesting. non-librarians also find this of interest, as shown by the frequency they use the role as a symbol. This does not mean the article should be kept because it is interesting. It means , that because it is found interesting, notable works have been written using it as main or subsidiary theme, notable characters created, and the appropriateness of them all have been notably discussed--in a great variety of media and a great variety of sources. A summary page like this is appropriate. It isn't OR because the material is either supported by the main WP article on the book or film or whatever, or else is sourced. DGG 07:33, 20 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: I am not opposed to an article that discuss the role of the librarian in popular culture, if it was properly sourced and not original research. The main reason I am opposed to this article in its current form is that it is a totally indiscriminate list, the number of times a librarian figures in any form of media is ridiculously large, and attempting to list them all is just futile. I know I keep repeating myself, but I can't see how this article should not be deleted based on WP:NOT#IINFO. If we keep this article/list, wouldn't it also mean that we open for similar lists that list every single appearance in popular media of composers, firefighters, policemen, lumberjacks, carpenters, cooks etc.? Dr bab 09:29, 20 April 2007 (UTC).[reply]
  - Comment of course, it is not an indiscriminate list at all. There is also no reason not to have the other accounts of professions in popular culture, monty python's lumberjack skit for instance, is surely popular culture, as is the story of paul bunyan. The discriminates here are two categories which is librarians and popular culture. That for instance removed the references to librarians in unpopular subcultures, such as wikipedia editors;) --Buridan 14:15, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - original research. Metamagician3000 11:06, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The function of such 'popular culture' articles (and sections), is to provide a place for people to put indiscriminate information, with which they might clutter up genuine articles. In other words they are a defence mechanism against a variety of quasi-spam. It may well be that such articles need to be pruned occasionally, but they serve a useful purpose in protecting serious content from being diluted with mundane and irrelevant allusions.

Mary Heights Learning Center[edit]

Really wanted to "prod" this, but I figured it wouldn't be a totally uncontroversial case because it's a school and most schools are kept here. Anyway, after removing all unencyclopedic info, you're left with a tiny stub about a school with no way to gauge how "notable" it is (so it probably isn't). If someone can add some great information to the article, then maybe this has a chance, but I'm thinking this will be pretty one-sided: delete. →Ed Gl 20:56, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

But why should one word in a TV show get its own article. This is the tried and true definition of WP:FANCRUFT. Delete. Part Deux 22:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong/Speedy Keep. Because this one word was more notable in 2006 than Anna Nicole Smith was (she obviously made a splash in 2007). Certainly there's no reason to list all the words that pop up at the start of the show, but Truthiness, with the huge amount of attention this word got (check the scope of the citations) is definitely of note. Deleting something just because it's been deleted before is not an argument that the current article should be canned, and should be counted as irrelevant to the article as it stands. The article is certainly too long and informed to be merged back into the already very long Stephen Colbert article. This reads like you want to set up a set of rules so that should a word or short phrase be notable, it can be deleted, because it's just one word, which would be a really bad precedent. Thespian 22:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

>Editing to add: I also think you need to look into WP:CONS, specifically, "Consensus does not mean that everyone agrees with the outcome; instead, it means that everyone agrees to abide by the outcome." If the article keeps coming back because people want it, with many people editing it, then arguing it and nominating it for a third time, is ignoring consensus. The initial deletion happened before the word became so popular. The second was withdrawn. The situation is completely different at this time, and this is now inappropriate with the amount of external coverage.Thespian 22:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep If it was just one word on a TV show, it would indeed be worthy of deletion, but the article is well cited and establishes notability. The term was selected as the Merriam-Webster 2006 Word of the Year and the American Dialect Society 2005 Word of the Year, and has been used on news shows and in the New York Times. That's more than sufficient for an article. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 22:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep. Very widely reported by many news outlets; the ADS and the MW references in particular raise this to a very high level of notability. bikeable (talk) 22:39, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep With all due respect to the nominator (whose name I have purposely not looked at), are you shitting me? Look at the sources! How many highly-regarded papers and TV news programs need to discuss something at length for it to be acceptable? Whatever the number, I'm sure this article meets and exceeds it. The word is obviously incredibly notable, and there are far more than enough reliable sources to back that up. Jeez, there's a reason articles make Good Article status- not just because editors have spent many hours bringing it up to snuff, but because there are enough sources to make an excellent article possible. -- Kicking222 22:41, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If it's good enough for the American Dialect Society and for Merriam-Webster, it's good enough for us. I would assume that those two organizations have a more rigorous review process than we do. Also, the article was illustrated as part of Wikipedia:WikiProject WikiWorld. --Elkman ^(Elkspeak) 22:53, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong keep. I'll WP:AGF that Part Deux was not actually trying to cause a disruption with this nomination, so that would take it out of the realm of speedy keep. Nonetheless, the nomination does seem to simply be a case of WP:IDONTLIKEIT, since identifying the term as nothing more than fancruft (i.e. non-notable) is utterly absurd given the sources and citations detailed in the article. Mwelch 23:24, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
KEEP Its a WP:GA...A good article! How can we possibly delete an article that the community has rated worth of high respect... it has 42 references...it was the American Dialect Society word of the year... the Merriam-Webster word of the year. WP:FANCRUFT doesn't apply because Truthiness is notable. 42 sources and you say it is the true definition of fancruft. I too will WP:AGF... but you almost made me not.

Putt Putting for the Hokies[edit]

I can find no record of this proposed film via google [26] so I placed a "hoax" tag on it which was removed by the creator. I am deeply suspicious that this article is more influenced by recent events in the US but I am not 100% certain, and so this Afd for more discussion. A lot of my suspicion is based on the fact that it's an utterly ridiculous film title, but I recall thinking the same when I first heard Bowling for Columbine Dina 22:11, 16 April 2007 (UTC) Actually this Virginia Tech Hokies, which I wasn't aware of, might just clinch it for me.

Asian fetish[edit]

This article is utterly atrocious, full of uncited POV, original research, and continuous edit warring. In my opinion, the title alone makes it inherently POV and unsalvageable. The result of the previous deletion discussion was "keep and cleanup," but, as usual, the latter part hasn't happened – and it's clear to me that it never will. The problems with article ownership are just too severe. It's been tagged for cleanup for nearly a year, but is actually worse now that it was then. It's time to pull the plug. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 22:26, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Yes, it's badly written, of dubious POV, and a magnet for WP:OWN, but unfortunately none of those are a reason for deleting it. One way forward might be to cut it down to its bare (and sourced) definitions. EliminatorJR ^Talk 00:50, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - In the last few months the HongQiGong, me (Teji), and to a lesser extent Computer1200 have contributed the most to the discussion and editing of this page. Despite intense differences of opinion we have actually made some minor progress. It is easy to come into the article (or back to after a year) and say "delete." But I encourage those for deletion, but especially those who want to keep the article to review the following discussion sections (as consensus on the first few paragraphs has been reached.) Furthermore, the main problems with the article is the use of student opinion pages and internet forums as support for outlandish begging-the-question statements like "Asian fetish as a cause of crime." Half of the article (or more) consists of these unattributable and unsubstantiated statements. To appease Hong, I recommended creating a separate section called "Commentary, Opinions, and Activism" to address the issues to which he is so attached. With support, we can move the questionable material into that section, or remove it altogether. Most importantly is the support of the editors on this page. Please help the article by supporting and enforcing my restructuring effort, or at least the effort to remove questionable material.

[[27]] - Initiation of rewriting, first paragraph

[[28]] - Discussion on terminology section and rewrite of the paragraph

[[29]] - Discussion of origin of term section, rewrite of Hwang's theory, discussion on moving Hwang's theory out of terminology section

[[30]] - Discussion on separating neutral info from commentaries and opinions

[[31]] - Suggestion to remove "Asian fetish as a cause of crime section"

[[32]] - Suggestion to remove "Stereotypical media portrayals" section.

[[33]] - Complaint about racism

In general, removing the opinions would remove any need to balance them or verify them. Most of them are based on student opinion pages, forums, and are generally unrelated, unreliable, and unsubstantiated. Please make support the effort to remove or restructure. With more support, this article can be cleaned up. Teji 23:47, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The extensive coverage given to Hwang's theories clearly violate the undue weight provision of NPOV. This is a marginal scholar, and yet his views are about the only ones given any room in the article. Crotalus horridus (TALK • CONTRIBS) 01:32, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ma Records[edit]

Non-notable record label. Unreferenced and fails WP:CORP. Also, it has been tagged for notability since October 2006 to no avail. Rockstar (^T/_C) 22:52, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - The only newspaper reference I've been able to dig up is an off-hand mention in the Pittsburgh Post. Context: "You always train like you're racing the best," said [Marco] Aledia, 27, who runs Ma Records out of his home in suburban Columbus, Ohio. "When you get a shot at one, you've got to take full advantage." Note - Be careful when doing any sort of search, google or otherwise, for MA Records. 'mas records' is a phrase that seems to come up a lot in Spanish media discussions, and I found many, many hits for "MA Records" that had NOTHING to do with this record label. Chris Croy 01:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

James Masterton[edit]

Article originally submitted for Speedy deletion, apparently because of lack of verifiable sources and other concerns that, however, do not seem to fall under any criteria for SD. Further discussion at the article's talk page. - Phaedriel - 23:59, 16 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep I would strongly encourage people to check out the talk page because this is a classic case of "I don't like it, so delete it!" Now, the AFD. The source for the article is his own brief autobiography. You can confirm most of its truth claims with a quick googling; He definitely wrote commentary on UseNet starting in 1992, he definitely writes for LaunchCast and dotmusic, and his content DID move to Yahoo. The remainder(ie his date of birth) are utterly uncontroversial. I'd also point out that his commentary is considered reliable enough to be cited in six different Wikipedia articles. Finally, I believe he passes notability: Many people really do care and talk about what he says. The BBC has quoted or cited him on on three occassions. Googling for "James masterton" music coughs up 22,800 hits, almost all of which have people actually talking about him and his commentary. Chris Croy 02:01, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sourcing is required to be reliable, independent, third-party sources; one's own autobiographical website doesn't count. Furthermore, the sources must not be a "trivial mention," but be about the subject. None of your BBC quotes are about Masterton. Pending some genuine sources talking about Masterton, rather than Masterton talking about someone or something else, Delete as failing WP:V, WP:BLP. RGTraynor 16:00, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I regard RS as generally destructive nonsense. Apparently, people are reliable sources except when making uncontroversial statements about themselves. Again, every truth claim made in his autobiography, with the exception of his year of birth, can be verified by anyone with an Internet connection and a couple spare seconds. He has been writing chart commentary since 1992, he does write chart commentary for yahoo, and the content was acquired by Yahoo. Finally, if a 'reliable source' discussed him, you know what their source would be for all of the above facts and others? Him. Journalists don't follow up on claims made by subjects unless they have some reason to believe the subject is screwing with them.Chris Croy 01:01, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And if no journalist, anywhere, wants to say anything about a subject, that tends to suggest the subject isn't notable. In any event, neither your opinion nor mine budges the requirements of WP:V a single jot. RGTraynor 03:34, 18 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Puttur,_Tamil_Eelam[edit]

This article is non-notable, POV plus so poorly written that it makes no sense. It's an article about a place but instead focuses on an educational establishments located there. Additionally, it has an advertisement requesting some university alumni to contact somebody. Qwertyca 00:16, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. All towns are notable. I removed the request that alumni contact someone by e-mail and added the latitude and longitude. Google has several references to reports of atrocities that are said have taken place in or near Puttur. I would like someone to add the material that usually appears in an article about a town: year of establishment, population, name of the mayor, local industries and infrastructure. And I suspect the article should be renamed Puttur, Sri Lanka since the boundaries of the area controlled by the LTTE are continually shifting. --Eastmain 00:40, 17 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I have been bold and renamed the article per established WP convention. I have also added a reference to the existence of the town; the rest of the article remains unsourced, but all extant towns are notable even if there's nothing much going on there.
