Procedural nomination; I've just removed a ((prod)) on this ("Non-notable group, with no sources. PRODed once before... but seems to have gone..."), as this is clearly inaccurate; a brief google-skim shows over 60,000 hits, including plenty of apparent reliable sources. I'm about to go off for six days and am very unlikely to have time to expand/rescue this before the prod expires, so bringing it over here to let someone else check the sources and see if this actually is expandable/rescuable. (Incidentally, the "prodded once before" is inaccurate - there's nothing in the deletion log & no deleted edits in the history.) Despite my procedurally nominating this for deletion, I (provisionally pending checking of the apparent sources) !vote keep. — iridescent (talk to me!) 23:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Stephen Krashen (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

The article lacks sufficient sources to argue notability for the person. (Please recall that a high number of published documents and search engine hits do not constitute notability.) After a brief review of a biography posted to Wikipedia, which was removed due to copyright reasons, it does not appear that this person has significantly contributed to this field. However, this is my view of it, others may differ. If there are additional sources, not by the subject himself, that provide evidence of notability, perhaps this article is worthwhile. As it stands, there is not enough information. Additionally, the article has been online for some time without any new (legal) information added to the page. — Chris53516 (Talk) 23:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • A7 is for articles that make no attempt to claim importance/significance; "professor emeritus" is certainly such a claim, so this isn't a speedy candidate. Thomjakobsen 00:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Citing policies, page hits, or even the number of references is irrelevant to notability. READ THE GUIDELINE! Please, do not cite a search engine or another policy for your argument. It doesn't help! — Chris53516 (Talk) 05:44, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I suggest YOU read the guideline, and stop trying to bully others when you're losing an argument. FROM THE GUIDELINE (the REAL one[3], which I doubt you bothered to read): "The person's collective body of work is significant and well-known" and "The person has published a significant and well-known academic work... if it is widely cited by other authors in the academic literature". The first hit in the link I provided is a book review which states, in fact, that his work is significant in this field. The 3000+ cites back up this claim. This is not a fly-by-night prof looking to get famous. This is a professor emeritus at a notable institution with several books to his credit, one of which has been cited by over 1000. Many of his articles alone are cited by close to 100 apiece. This man's work is significant and thoroughly cited, therefore, he is notable. End of story.--Sethacus 06:14, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Article needs improvement" is not a valid reason for deletion of a stub article. The discussion here is about whether the subject of the article meets notability criteria; the Google Scholar link provided above shows that he easily passes the guidelines at WP:PROF on number of citations alone.

Keep Ok well true this player has never played a professional league game, although he plays for a league team, and im sure if you go though a few of the fringe players and young players who signed contracts for this season, you will probably find they havn't actually played a professional league game either, so why don't you have a little look though all them as well, seen as you have nothing better to do, oh your a man of steel on wikipedia ain't you, the deleting articles man "Robwingfield", you should get a life me old mucka, oh well at least the Ludovic Quistin article will continue to remain as it should, enjoy your deletions important man. Stew jones 23:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Please be civil, Stew jones, and note that all subjects must be notable to warrant an ecycopedic article. For footballers, the criteria is that he must have "played in a fully professional league' per WP:BIO. --Malcolmxl5 23:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If the Conference League is not fully professional (and I'm not sure of this), he fails WP:BIO and should be deleted, as that is the highest league in which he has played a game. It'd be funny though if he went on to represent England and this AfD discussion was brought up... --Mkativerata 23:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Conference is not fully professional. The article can easily be restored by an admin should he ever play in a league higher than that (or for England!) --Malcolmxl5 23:34, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep although this player has not "yet" made an appearance for Bury, I'm sure it is only a short matter of time before he does.

Extremely borderline notability. Nominating per a thread on ANI. Yes, he has a grammy nomination, but that was an engineer... do we have articles for every sound engineer on every Grammy nominated album(s)? I recuse from this one, as I simply don't know enough about what is notable for back-end music technicians like this.

NOTE: User:Ryanwestmusic, who appears to be Ryan West, made the article and worked a lot on it. • Lawrence Cohen 22:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was my question, though... does being a sound engineer on a Grammy nominated album count? We'd have a dozen new articles on engineers each year in that case. • Lawrence Cohen 22:15, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I think this would fall under "Notability is not inherited" - the artist and the album might be notable, but everyone who worked on it is not necessarily notable. Mr.Z-man 17:13, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure how to add my two cents here, but here goes. I am a mixing engineer and record producer with plenty credible references on the web. Whether Wikipedia decides that because I'm not famous outside of the music business I don't deserve a blurb or two, I'm non-plussed. What space does it take up? 300kb? I could list a whole bunch of stuff that in some people's eyes, would be enough for an article. I've been interviewed by Scratch, Remix and Mix magazine. I was on VH1's White Rapper Show. I am currently producing my cousin, Lady Miss Kier of Deeelite. I have two Grammy nominations....yes nominations, not wins, however I was nominated and attended. I have hundreds of products on the market with my name and creative input on them. You may not give engineer/mixers much credit, but I think that's a mistake. Besides, who in the heck said you must be famous to be listed here? I mean, I've seen listings for CEOs of middle of the road corporations. Where's the priority here? Like I said, either way, I'm non-plussed, but let's be clear here. My listing has been plagued by jerk-faced pranksters. I'm not sure how I became the target of that crap, but I can assure you it's made me weary of this whole thing. Sorry for the dissertation, but how's a guy supposed to feel?

comment The article development of religion focuses on psychological elements that could have lead to the development of religion. The article makes no mention of middle or upper paleolithic peoples with regards to religion. Neither does it make any mention of primate or animal self-awareness.

Taken individually they are reliable sources, but... organizing them as the article does creates a novel synthesis, which is considered Original Research under WP:NOR. Blueboar 00:27, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
but aren't all articles a synthesis of several sources. In fact a good article requires citations from several sources. A synthesis that is original research provides a conclusion, that the individual sources did not arrive at. There is no conclusion in this article.Muntuwandi 02:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
development of religon
My understanding is those are different disciplines altogether, for example development of religion states
The development of religion is concerned with a variety of perspectives on the ways in which religions come into being and develop. Broadly speaking, three types of models provide different perspectives on the subject:
  • Models which see religions as social constructions;
  • Models which see religions as progressing toward higher, objective truth;
  • Models which see a particular religion as absolutely true;
There is no mention of what archaeologists have found regarding religion. This is a social science view of religion. The origin of religion deals mainly with information from archeology and evolutionary biology which goes back millions of years. The very first evidence of any sort of behavior that can be directly associated with any form of ritual, spirituality or religion is the intentional burial of the dead by the Neanderthals some 300,000 years ago. No other species on the planet is known to intentionally bury the dead, especially with the addition of grave goods. All this is not present in the development of religion article, and hence this article, origin of religion is actually covering different material. So to say that the origin of religion is a POV fork is incorrect, because they are not covering the same material. POV forks cover the same material as the article that they are forking from and put non-neutral slant on it. Muntuwandi 21:39, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

comment A suggestion, instead of one liners on an editors opinion, I would be greatful if someone could actually pinpoint which section, paragraphs of the article are not neutral, original research or a synthesis.

comment development of religion offers no timeline on religion. Muntuwandi 02:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
What do you mean by that? What "particular religions" does it deal with? I don't think that is accurate at all. It doesn't have any good information or theoretical content on "origins," but that doesn't mean that the origins of religion, or proto-religion, doesn't belong in the entry. The creator of this origins entry simply refuses to work with the development entry, and has done so for some time now. How is this material not relevant to the development of religion?PelleSmith 17:15, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

only one subsection Religion as a Byproduct of Evolutionary Psychology out of the whole article has any footnotes. The rest of the article has no footnotes whatsoever.
the article origin of religion has over 28 references, the majority of the articles are available on the web for instant reading. The article has footnotes all through. If there should be any complaints about an article, they should be about the Development of religion article. This article origin of religion,thus cannot be a POV fork of a poorly referenced article.

  • Synthesis
WP:SYN says Editors often make the mistake of thinking that if A is published by a reliable source, and B is published by a reliable source, then A and B can be joined together in an article to advance position C. 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.[1] "A and B, therefore C" is acceptable only if a reliable source has published this argument in relation to the topic of the article.
There is no section in the article where sources are combined to form a conclusion that the authors of the article did not make. If there is one, please highlight the exact paragraph. Any accusations of original research or synthesis require evidence. Muntuwandi 19:08, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

the article in its present form is quite horrible, but there can be little doubt the topic is valid. Issues of WP:CFORK with development of religion, prehistoric religion and anthropology of religion need to be addressed, if necessary by merging. This is a difficult job for expert editors, and calls for deletion are not very helpful. The topic is valid, but the article as it stands is crap?

comment. I think development of religion should focus on how religion progressed from basic ancestral worship to religion as an institution. This article should focus on biological and evolutionary factors. Muntuwandi 23:21, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article as it stands does not address biological and evolutionary factors except in the opening paragraph where it refers to a second article on the God gene. Furthermore, the article is titled "Origin of religon", not The role of biology and evolution in the development of religion. Additionally, an article that had that name would have to present several different biological and evolutionary theories and ideally give the reader a framework for evaluating the strengths and weaknesses of those theories relative to one another and relative to non-evolutionary/biological theories. The article doesn't do that either. Best, Egfrank 12:02, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Much of the criticism is focussed on this article, but I think the Development of religion has no useful information on religion in general. I don't believe the articles should be merged because the "origin of religion" is a valid topic on its own. The materia for the "origin of religion" is going to be significantly less because scientists are still trying to piece together human evolutionary history. Development of religion will have more material because most of the studies deal with present day religions. However, as you mentioned, there are several ways to approach the origin of religion. In this case we should focus on the most objective, that is the human fossil record. Muntuwandi 20:46, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The wikipedia way (and the academic way) is to include all theories and let the reader decide for themselves which is the most objective/best formulated/etc. Hence the need to address multiple theories. Best, Egfrank 21:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment. Editors are entitled to their own opinions, however no one has provided any evidence that this article is a POV fork of any other article. Muntuwandi 03:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
WP:POVFORK states:
POV forks usually arise when two or more contributors disagree about the content of an article or other page, and instead of resolving that disagreement, someone creates another version of the article (or another article on the same subject) to be developed according to their personal views rather than according to consensus. This second article is known as a "POV fork" of the first.
There was never any dispute on the development of religion article regarding this content. So according to this definition "origin of religion" cannot be a POV fork of development of religion because the editor who created this article never edited development of religion before. Muntuwandi 04:25, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Also, could people please try to keep indentation levels tidy? I've taken the liberty of doing some minor neatening so that I can read the page; if I messed up please fix my efforts! --tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 13:42, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment I disagree with merging the articles because development of religion has plenty of its own problems. If someone is willing to clean up the development of religion article, then a discussion on merging may be warranted. One of the key differences between the two articles is that development of religion deals with actual religions such as Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Hinduism. The sources for the origin of religion, such as the books cited above, actually make no mention of any specific religion. This is an important distinction between these two articles at the moment. Muntuwandi 16:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
We could also merge Origin in before cleaning up, which would be beneficial since the merged-in content would serve as a scaffold for expanding this particular subtopic of Development during cleanup. The two articles may be distinct in their contents at present, but if you read this page you'll note a few people would prefer them not to be; and since this is a wiki, we can effect that change, starting with a content merge. --tiny plastic Grey Knight ⊖ 07:06, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
comment. Which information is a synthesis and which is OR.Muntuwandi 03:02, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
all of it. You are quite obviously unable to write an article on any topic whatsoever without turning it into an essay about "out of Africa". Most of your material is perfectly valid, but belongs on completely different articles. dab (𒁳) 07:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You are right that I am interested in 'out of africa'. But this is one of the most important hypothesis of the 20th century and it has implications beyond the theory. I dispute merging the articles for a number of reasons:
  • The main sources cited use the term "origin of religion" and not "development of religion" eg Evolving God: A Provocative View on the Origins of Religion" and The Prehistory of the Mind: The Cognitive Origins of Art, Religion and Science. this article uses the term "origin of faith"[4].
  • the article Development of religion is not well defined and has several problems with it. As I have mentioned earlier it only has 3 footnotes in the whole article. Origin of religion has 28 footnotes. Why is development of religion being treated as like it is good article, when it is possible that it has plenty of OR.
  • None of sources cited in Development of religion are cited in origin of religion and vice-versa meaning these topics as they stand are mutually exclusive.
  • merging is an attempt to water down some of the information that is in this article. As I mentioned earlier, the sources cited make no mention of any particular religion. Development of religion does make mention a number of religions such as judaism, christianity, bahai etc. To mix these up is OR and a WP:SYN because the sources cited have not mixed them up.
My suggestion therefore is to let these two articles run for some time. They can be revisited in the future. Development of religion has had very little activity recently. If editors truly believe that the articles should be merged then someone should clean up development of religion to give an accurate representation of how the topic is studied academically. Muntuwandi 19:27, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It's been clearly indicated to you on this article's talk page what is wrong with the article, addressing specific issues. What is wrong with your sourcing and approach has been explained to you in relation to no original research, synthesis and reliability on multiple occasions. Please do not put on airs to the contrary. Vassyana 20:49, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't seen any credible explanation. I think editors are confusing certain issues. It seems that editors are disagreeing with the authors of these studies not with the article. You are entitled to disagree with the author's assertions at a personal level. However one's personal beliefs should not interfere with wikipedia articles. At this stage, nobody has shown any proof that the article contains information that is not found in the sources. We should recall the Wikipedia is not censored (WP:NOTCENSORED).Muntuwandi 22:09, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
WP:MERGE states: If a page is very short and is unlikely to be expanded within a reasonable amount of time, it often makes sense to merge it with a page on a broader topic. For instance, parents or children of a celebrity that are otherwise unremarkable are generally covered in a section of the article on the celebrity, and can be merged there.
This article is not short and likelihood of expansion is high. Especially when scientists begin to find more genes related to religion. Muntuwandi 22:31, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good find. Maybe we should keep after all and look for some sources and info, if it's really a distinct term and class of business. I could swear I've heard it somewhere too. However, the fact that the best source found to date is a 1994 article, albeit in the New York Times, suggests the term isn't in general use and as you say is subjective. If it were an obscure field of business, a single NY Times reference plus a few others would be enough to sustain an article. As a term that if real would apply to a several billion dollar a year industry, if that's all there is then perhaps it's just not worth discussing in an article.Wikidemo 16:12, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Number of the Beast (occurrence)[edit]

Number of the Beast (occurrence) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Completely unsourced list of occasions someone has used the number 666. This is listcruft and unencyclopedic. We don't need "popular culture references" sections in every article. B 18:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think anybody's disputing that this topic is encyclopedic and notable - just that it needs its own article. It seems right now that the only reason it can't go back to the original number of the beast article, or indeed the only reason it left there in the first place, is its huge size and choppy presentation. Which in turn are only a necessity because it insists to list in painstaking detail each and every occurrence of the nubmer in bullet-listed form. Given that having this type of "article" is against Wikipedia guidelines (WP:TRIVIA), and this will in all probability have to be reduced to paragraphs of prose as lquilter suggested, I think it is best if this is rewritten and merged back pre-emptively; Unless it becomes some gigantic, well-referenced, brilliant treatise- and I frankly don't think there's enough to be said about this subject to warrant that- the best it can hope for is probably to undergo a substantial rewrite and then be merged back by consensus anyway, when it'll be obvious there isn't enough material in it to justify a separate article. --AceMyth 08:44, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strongly disagree. There is plenty of content it simply hasn't been introduced into the article as of yet. Years ago I was looking into the subject and there were quite a few books and plenty of papers on the very subject. Granted I felt that some of the thinking was a bit extreme it was pitch-perfect tabloid fodder and there was plenty of it. And lists or bulleted points in and of themselves can be encyclopedic it's just that this one needs more work. I think a decent article should be written and some notable examples provided. Benjiboi 11:57, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know how much time this AfD has left, but if you do have the material to turn this into an article you feel could stand on its own, I strongly advise you to rewrite it as at least a proof of concept and make an announcement here once you're done. AfD is not a vote and if the closing admin sees the article does have potential and you are serious about this, they might even overturn a "delete" majority (especially if most of the votes were cast prior to the rewrite). Myself, I still think that 1. No, bulleted points of loosely associated trivia functioning as the entire framework of an article are unencyclopedic by definition, and it would do well to shift the article into prose form; and 2. This text, as it currently is, stands more to gain from being given a context inside of the original article than it does from being given its own article to expand. I very much doubt I'd change my mind about 1, and I urge you to take my advice on that- going head to head with guidelines and consensus rarely benefits an article's health. As for 2, I might be proven wrong just yet. Have at it. --AceMyth 22:19, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, as much as I've had success rewriting or rescuing articles from AfD I find the entire exercise a bit too stressful. I saw this was up for AfD and then saw how much the article needed some TLC but I have numerous other commitments to tend to before doing a rewrite to maybe save an article. I believe it certainly can be a great article and to me AfD is to explore the potential of an article: Is it beyond hope of ever being a good article or can it be improved through regular editing? If I have time I will try to research some potential sources for research. Benjiboi 23:37, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment Thanks for your comment, although you neglected to mention that you created the article in question and thus your suggestion to keep it might not meet conflict of interest guidelines. You might want to find the impartial third-party arm's-length references that you suggest are plentiful and add them to the article in order that it could be reconsidered -- that's what AfD is for. You're correct that I don't know much about vinyl toys, but I do consider myself an expert Internet researcher with a lot of experience in interpreting Wikipedia guidelines, and I couldn't find anything much that added notability to the article, including the search parameters you suggested; I wish you better luck. Accounting4Taste 13:53, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment I think it was obvious that I wrote the article based on the history anyone can see when viewing the tab. I felt the article worth writing. I do fully admit that I am a neophyte to Wikipedia and all of the ins and outs. I am still learning the correct SOP's and "interpreted guidelines" so graciously pointed out by sagacious wiki-giants such as yourself. Thanks for being such a gentleman about it. Well, as for "better luck" looks like your "Internet research expertise" was just recently expanded. Ahh..both our minds and skill sets have suddenly grown.

    • Comment. I'm always willing to be convinced, and this tips me over the edge in the opposite direction. I was fooled upon seeing it the first time because I thought the price listings on the first item indicated that the site was selling the toys; this appears to be an arm's-length third party review site which adds notability sufficient for me to change my suggestion to "Keep". I'll add the citation to the article myself. Accounting4Taste 15:43, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • The site shown has 2 problems with it. 1) It really looks like simply a menu of products, having items for sale does not make one notable, else Ebay would be all that we need. There is a rudimentary review of each product. 2) The page is a blog, and does not have the hallmark of a reliable source. Look, there are blogs out there where people review Fan Fiction, but it does not make said items of fan fiction notable. What we need is not just a third-party source (which are ALWAYS availible on ANYTHING. Hell, I could probably find a third-party source which talks about me), but a RELIABLE third-party source as outlined in WP:N, WP:CORP, and WP:RS. I still have seen no evidence that such references exist.--Jayron32|talk|contribs 16:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Good luck finding a Designer Toy website that doesn't use a blog to convey news. I hate to tell you, but if you don't accept Vinyl Pulse or Plastic and Plush as reliable sources for the Urban Vinyl scene, then Wikipedia probably shouldn't have anything about the genre listed. My "rudimentary" blog has been noted in the LA Times, Entertainment Weekly and several other mainstream publications.

    • Comment Jayron32 you amaze me with your self appointed expertise on the subject of "Designer Toys". While who can deny your display of vigor and verve on summary conclusions about a genre you clearly know little about, perhaps you are applying interpreted Wikipedia guidelines to suit your own sense of prosecution and edification. We can all appreciate the self appointed guardians of the right from time to time when taken in good measure, but in this scenario it seems a bit overdone, no?

    Delete I haven’t been around Wikipedia too long, but I don’t think being mentioned once in a New York Post article and once in a local paper makes him notable.

    • Comment In response to User:BelovedFreak’s comment: I’m a real boy, not a sockpuppet! I travel a lot and use a wireless card in my laptop, and I never bothered to register with WP before – it just didn’t seem important. Obviously, now I wish I had. Given my lack of verifiable history, I can understand User:Shritwod’s suspicion of my motives, but I have never made any contributions or changes to Henderson’s article. I came to the article by way of Lou Pearlman after hearing about him in the news.
    Here’s why I think Henderson isn’t notable.
    1. He had to publish his books himself. Not one publisher would put out either of his books. Doesn’t that tend to show that the works aren’t notable or of interest to the general public?
    2. He hasn’t received press coverage on his own. While he has been mentioned in the New York Post, the Gainesville Sun and the Orlando Weekly, all of those articles were primarily about someone else. Look at the titles: “Louie Wasn’t ’N Sync,” “Book: Crist Tried to Whitewash Probe” and “Pearlman’s Jihad.” The Washington Post was also listed as a source, but the free article preview doesn’t mention Henderson. (Maybe he’s somewhere in the rest of the article, but I didn’t want to pay to find out.)
    3. Lawsuits don’t confer notability. Yes, Henderson sued Pearlman. But if being involved in some kind of legal action were reason enough for inclusion in Wikipedia, we’d have to deal with a bunch of frivolous articles. (More than we already do, I mean!)
    4. Several references are iffy. Are unjustis.co.uk, fraudsandscams.com and crimes-of-persuasion.com – the subject’s own site – reliable sources?
    If you publish a book accusing a famous person of something, you’re bound to get some media attention – that’s the sort of thing reporters live for! I have no idea if the stuff in Henderson’s books is true or not, and I don’t think it matters here.
    I don’t have anything against this guy personally – in fact, I admire his persistence and dedication. I think he definitely has a place in Wikipedia – as a part of the Lou Pearlman article, maybe. I just don’t think he’s notable in his own right. SandyHand 18:27, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Just to respond to these:
    1. Simply because one aspect of a person's life does not make them notable, does not mean they aren't notable for other reasons. For example: David Berkowitz was a postal worker. To say that he can't have an article because he was a postal worker is silly. Likewise, simply because this guy published his own books means that he can't be notable for that reason. Just like Berkowitz was notable for reasons OTHER than being postal worker, Les Henderson can be notable for reasons OTHER than being a self-published author.
    2. No where in the notability guidelines does it say that the coverage must be by ones self. Wikipedia guidelines only say that the corverage is multiple (he is in the media for several different events) and non-trivial (while he is not the sole item covered in the articles, his coverage was significant), and in reliable sources (The New York Post, Washington Post, Orlando Journal Sentinel, etc. are all notable)
    3. Really? While not every lawsuit confers notability, some certainly DO. Consider Dred Scott, whose sole notability comes from a lawsuit.
    4. True, but that calls for cleanup, not deletion. While there are some sources of iffy reliability, there are also some sources of unquestionable reliability. The existance of bad sources does not cancel out the existance of good sources.
    The fact remains that notability is not determined by the substance of WHY a person is notable. According to the notability guidelines, what makes someone notable is nto what they did, but who NOTICED what they did and what the WROTE about it. If a subject has been a focus of multiple, non-trivial references in reliable sources, they are notable REGARDLESS of what they did to earn that coverage. --Jayron32|talk|contribs 03:27, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    The result was delete. Nobody has produced an argument to defend the rank OR problems with this article. Given the keep comments are all (bar one) "per Bikeable", who subsequently changed his argument to "merge", there is little in favour of keeping. And Gandalf61's argument is not convincing. Asserting something is not OR but failing to provide any evidence to back up that assertion is never convincing. Consensus - rooted in policy - is clearly to not retain this article. None of Wiktionary, Wikisaurus or Wikibooks would accept this as they do not want original research, so a transwiki is out (other wikiprojects are not our dumping grounds).

    The result was No consensus for Disinformation (art and music project) and Delete Rorschach Audio . Electronic voice phenomena (EVPs) are sometimes referred to as "Rorschach audio," after the psychological test in which subjects read their own interpretation of inkblot images.[25] This provides confusion with the research artwork topic run by "Disinformation." Consensus is that the topic for Rorschach Audio lacks source material that is independent of control of the the group Disinformation to meet general notability guidelines. Regarding Disinformation (art and music project), the article lists many references, none of which is connected to the text in the article. However, there was little to no discussion on the merits of each of the article listed references in the context of whether there was sufficient reliable source material, independent of Disinformation, to maintain a Wikipedia article on the topic. Ignoring the SPAs, the discussion was not clear as to whether Disinformation (art and music project) met general notability guidelines. -- Jreferee t/c 00:24, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • The "extensive citations", from what I can see, are written by the subject of the article (also the creator, judging from the edit history) and so don't qualify as independent secondary sources, regardless of whether they appear in journals or not. Primary sources have their uses, but when you base an article around your own interpretation of them, that's original research. You can read about it in more detail at WP:OR. The problem's even worse if, as others have noted, all the editors are sockpuppets of the Joe Banks in the article. In that case, you're basically writing an essay and quoting yourself to back it up, and there are problems of conflict of interest. It'd be a whole lot easier in the long run just shelling out on a proper website and posting the promo material there. Thomjakobsen 23:22, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • I should add that, if the article is not deleted, then after it is released for editing, it must be subject to the same rules applied to other articles concerning neutral point of view, verifiable references, original research and conflict of interest. The article moves from describing a work of art, which is off-limits to academic criticism in my mind, to a nonfiction, academic article with this statement alone: ""Rorschach Audio" offers the primary hypothesis that an understanding of the relevant aspects of psychoacoustics provides a complete explanation for most EVP recordings,...." There are other problem statements, but it will save us a lot of time if we just ask for that statement to meet wiki standards. I might propose an alternative solution to deletion. That is, to merge the article with the EVP article, since it is a clear-cut criticism of EVP it belongs there. -- Tom Butler 00:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • It's already there. Could be expanded though. That might help the article in general, since there are so few skeptical sources re EVP. ——Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 01:12, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I don't mean a link to it as a definition of a term--cut and paste. As the article stands now, I see it as an effort to camouflage a simple fabrication of explanations as art so that it does not have to be properly vetted. At the very least, there needs to be a tag placed on the article indicating that it includes unsubstantiated claims. Following some of the editing practices I have seen in the past, whole blocks of it can be properly deleted as being unsubstantiated. For instance, the loaded statement: "... (the name Disinformation is used in the spirit of what Ludwig Wittgenstein referred to as the "Liar Paradox". The research into (mostly Very Low Frequency band) radio science that was required to realise early Disinformation LPs and CDs etc provided the technical experience necessary to explain the source and behaviour of the stray radio signals that form the subject matter of EVP research...." Where is the research supporting that statement? Why have none of the wiki lawyers not demanded that he support such comments? One more interesting statement: "Nonetheless "Rorschach Audio" is an active and ongoing research project, and (under the terms of the Berne Convention for the Protection of Literary and Artistic Works) every writer has a (moral and legal) right to be accurately credited as the author of their own work, and the author of "Rorschach Audio" is no exception." Based on that, the author has conflict of interest and all of the work is original research. There simply is no reason to keep this article unless it is intended to set a new precidence.

    • Yes, it needs sourcing, as several have noted. You could go through it and put citation requests on each uncited paragraph. After a few weeks, if they remain uncited, the info can properly be deleted. Technically, it could be deleted now, but that would cause angst. The only reason for keeping it is that it seems to be notable: it has been mentioned in sources outside of itself. So I don't think there is a technical reason to delete it. ——Martinphi (Talk Ψ Contribs) 02:35, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • I think some editors here are missing my point. And being rather rude about it in the process, I might add. Is that how art platoons always behave? The Rorschach Audio article is specifically designed to show that certain theories explain the experiences called EVP, specifically that idea of a "Liar Paradox". If you refer to the Electronic voice phenomena article, you will see that it is written as a balance of opinion between EVP being the mundane mistaken as phenomenal or paranormal. The Rorschach Audio is used as a reference for the mundane argument. I see no problem with that, as it is a valid theory that should be tested, but when I look at the article, I see no evidence, no research, only art by one guy who claims copyright of his art. That as a reference is circular logic. The Rorschach Audio article is fine if it is not taken as evidential. As an alternative to deleting it if you all think it is okay for self-advertisements as articles in Wikipedia, either established support for the claims or those claims must be deleted. Looking at the article, I see that little of it will be left. Tom Butler 17:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • The author claims this is AHRC funded research. The AHRC list all award holders online. Whatever term I search, I find no reference; I've tried the subject, author and even keywords. www.ahrc.ac.uk /awards/ -- Redisburys 17:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • That was not my implication. The AHRC site search engine fails to find Banks' entry, even with reasonable keywords, and I see no reason to assume anything more than that Redisburys ran into the same problem. I only found it by being geeky and skimming the list manually. Gordonofcartoon 11:11, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sorry, not my intention to mislead, but it really does not show up using their search feature. One tends to trust such features to work. Joe - check this and talk to the AHRC. I note, thought, this is funding for a min of three years, which has only *recently* been awarded. If it needs a page would this not be AFTER or towards the end of the research -- when something has been found. I should point out that unsigned comment IP is Goldsmiths' College (Joe Banks).

    • It's probably pointless, but I'd also like to assert that I (Joshua Portway) have no idea who Redisbury is (he's not me), and that it's plainly ridiculous to think that I'm Sam Blacketer. The only account I have on Wikipedia is this one (Jportway). As I told you in the email I sent you Joe, I have contacted everyone that I could and let them know that I didn't think that deleting your page was a good idea. Hopefully the people who I contacted can verify that here - I'm sorry everyone if that seems petty, but I really, really don't want this to be the start of another ridiculous paranoid vendetta.--Jportway 17:55, 12 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hello "SmashyPond". I'm going to be generous and assume that you aren't the subject of the article and that you genuinely don't know any better, despite the oddly paranoid tone of your posting being unusual for a disinterested observer. The reason I haven't taken part in this discussion before is that, for reasons that should be starting to become obvious, I didn't want to be involved in anything to do with deleting this page. I really don't care much whether these pages stay or go, and I was well aware that I would become the target of these kind delusional accusations if the page was deleted. Unfortunately, given the historical precedent, I suspect that if this page is deleted then I will be the target of the resulting tantrums outside the playpen of Wikipedia and I just have better things to do with my life than deal with that kind of crap. I have indeed been "involved all along" as you claim - but not in trying to get this page deleted. A couple of other people who have commented on this page already know some of the history behind this, and I am being very restrained in not publicly posting the whole sad story to this page because it would be extremely embarrassing for the subject of this article. However, if there's any more silliness in this thread (especially by apparently newly created accounts) claiming that I'm somehow victimizing Mr. Banks (and associating me with Nazi vandalism) I will be tempted to explain it all here just to show how nice I'm actually being to him. If you like, Smashypond, you are welcome to email me (as is anyone else - I'll put my address on my user page) so I can disabuse you of these conspiracy theories.--Jportway 17:16, 14 October 2007 (UTC) — Jportway (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

    Page discussed at a prior AFD, with a poor quality discussion. After deletion, DRV discussion resulted in overturning the decision for this relisting. While my nomination is technical, I opine below. GRBerry 13:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    1 I think it should be made crystal clear that (un-)(semi-)official bi- or multilateral diplomatic relations can be had, and be encyclopedically notable, between any political entities, especially of such a quasi/de facto state as Iraqi Kurdistan, regardless of their affiliation with the United Nations and/or of general international recognition.
    2 The current contents of the article should be split and merged:
    2aKurdish-Israeli relations#Relations => Foreign relations of Israel#Iraqi Kurdistan
    2b Kurdish-Israeli relations#The genetic bond claim between Kurds and Jews => Origins of the Kurds#Connection with the Jewish People.
    2c Kurdish-Israeli relations#Jews in Kurdistan & Kurdish-Israeli relations#Kurds in Israel => History of the Kurdish people#Modern history of the Kurds
    3 Redirect [[Kurdish-Israeli relations]] to Foreign relations of Israel#Iraqi Kurdistan

    • Shouldn't we be paying attention to the argument, not according to how many times this user has contributed? 64.178.96.168 20:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes and no. If the argument is new, or contains new facts, it should be listened to accordingly. Arguments from new contributors that are a rehash of those by established users and contains no new facts, don't provide evidence as to how many people hold a particular opinion, because it is far too easy for one person to contribute with multiple accounts/IPs. There are some IP editors with stable IP addresses who are established users with a long edit history, but they are rarer than hen's teeth. GRBerry 21:57, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: Well it suggests that the record comapany must be considering releasing it, or it wouldn't mention it on the album cover. Sometimes plans change, but as it is, it looks like Change will be released next. If the next single is annocunced that it won't be change, you may as well delete the page.

    Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation)[edit]

    Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

    This "disambiguation" page was the subject of a prod. Its talk page reflects solid proof why it does not deserve to exist because it does not "disambiguate" between any articles but only links to outside dubious websites, violating WP:NOT#LINK and WP:NOT#WEBSPACE and WP:NOT#DIRECTORY. It also seems to have been created to get around deletion of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/True Torah Jews. See Talk:Jews Against Zionism (disambiguation) for full discussion about problems, especially as noted by User:MPerel that "jewsagainstzionism.org is registered to Roland Rance and is a small secular group. The registration gives a contact address in London. It redirects to Jews Against Zionism. jewsagainstzionism.com is registered privately and anonymously via 3rd party GoDaddy.com and its ownership is therefore unknown and unverifiable. The unverifiable and anonymous jewsagainstzionism.com site is often confused with jewsnotzionists.com, the latter which is registered to Yisroel Weiss." And User:zzuuzz has stated: "This page was recently prod-deleted and restored. Until very recently it would have been a speedy deletion candidate, and it probably still is. Disambiguation pages serve to disambiguate between articles with potentially the same name. Here, there are no articles, not even one. I have no doubt this page would be deleted at AfD, and I'm slightly bemused as to why a restoration was requested. Is it going to start disambiguating articles, or shall we take a waltz through AfD?" This also violates WP:NOT#SOAPBOX. It is also bound to be a POV magnet. IZAK 08:03, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Izak i need you to calm down first of all about your innuendo that this particular group has met with the Iranian leader is false, You actually took that out of your but. This group was opened and founded for the reason alone to take away the Satamr mission from Neturei karta and satmar has squarely condemned globally those Jews who met that Arab. Now that this is cleared up, let me tell you that they are indeed a respectfull Think thank about the teachings of their Rabbi, You are right once their Rabbi was alive there was no need to spread and further his mision, he was Holy and even the Zionist jews had the utmost respect for his word, now that he is dead, The satmar Hasidim have decided its time to act, and see ways how to spread this mision. Is it notable yes, and the article did have claims with proof to that effect. Is it fringe POV i dont care. If it is out there it has its place in wikipedia, and no user can sensor it because he does not like what they do.--יודל 16:55, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Please look back in the history and on its talk page and see that those who want to dleete have asked to block a user simply for qouting this site, so he was forced to change his link, and it does have an atrticle leading to neturei karta--יודל 13:06, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I see many articles, Natrina Neturei karta and more that were already speedily erased while you were writing this, with utterly disregard for conflict of interest here[34].--יודל 14:26, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Natrina was created with extreme disregard for wikipedia policy. Please see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/True Torah Jews and WP:CSD, focusing on G4. Neturei karta was not, and will not, be deleted, speedy or otherwise, as the group is sufficiently notable to warrant a wiki article. Please restrict yourself to facts and not suppositions, unjustified accusations, or misrepresentations of wikipedia policy. Thank you. -- Avi 14:47, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I see only one user going personnel here and everybody sees whats his name. But now that it was asked i will answer it: This was deleted by a user who has voted to delete in his words POV pushing while he himself goes ahead and deletes the article so his POV should win. This is a perfect example of a conflict of interest here. and its not the first time those sysop tools were used in such a way, this issue suffered already before of this while the article Haredim and Zionism was blocked for a week with unsourced slanderers line. So lets straitened out the FACT: The article Natrina was re-established as a stub as other users have requested here, and it was deleted here by a deleter vote!--יודל 15:00, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Once again, please read WP:CSD section G4. The article in question was not significantly different from the one deleted, and as such was a classic speedy candidate. Your near-constant resorting to ad hominem attacks when you lack any other support for your arguments, such as wikipedia policy or facts, is becoming more and more of a hindrance. So is your penchant for changing headings (as you still do after nearly being severely sanctioned for it) as well as your propensity to push specific points of view. It is in your best interest to review the discussions that occurred on WP:ANI and see how you can continue to contribute gainfully without disrupting process or policy. -- Avi 15:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    This Admin should not be an issue here, but I think asking to delete something while saying that your concern is POV while using some tools that other do not have to delete something else to win your vote against others, is not a personal attack, it is simply a way how to put an editing history in focus. This is a real conflict of interest here and i hope everybody can understand why, if not i am mistaken and i would apologize.--יודל 15:11, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I am uncertain how you can view a clear-cut case of upholding a wikipedia policy as a "conflict-of-interest"? If anything, your editing history demonstrates a significant propensity towards a point-of-view and a disregard for wikipedia policies? -- Avi 15:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Conflict of interest means that even though policy says that the article must be erased or even though some user must be blocked, the Admin who had his conflict on the matter cannot do it because of conflict of interest.--יודל 15:18, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    And being that this was a clear-cut case of a wikipedia violation, and being that I have no personal or professional relationship with any organization pro- or con- Zionism, there is no issue. Now please stop trying to create issues where there are none and restrict yourself to content and policy, and not people. -- Avi 15:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Being that you have declared this issue a POV Pushing and being that u used some tools that others dont have to win this debate i ask other Admins to restore the artice in question since it is being rather drastically improved by me and it was addressed successfully all the issues raised in the initial deletion. It is still a stub and most users have declared it fine if effort is being put into it to establish notability which i will do. Everybody has his POV mine is clear and yours is also clear so lets have a chance to make our views reach some consensus and not use one stronger hand against the other to win the issue.--יודל 15:25, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    The place to request that a deletion be overturned is WP:DRV. -- Avi 15:27, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Thanks please dont make work harder then needed, you erased this article clearly agaisnt the rules and polices of an Admin, You were clearly invoved here and have already expressed your desire to delete it, be so kind and give it to me i will not make it into an article i will simply put it in my sandbox to work on it until its perfect. I know you have already said that you wont bock me becaouse you don't want to use your sysop tools in a way to win discussions, please do the same here and undo your actions if you are right why win it with tools that others don't have? let the system of consensus building play out its role. I don't beleave it should be put back as a stub now since you don't want it but i promise you i will work on it to perfect it i have already experience with fixing deleted articles trust me--יודל 15:35, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Once again, I suggest you carefully review wikipedia policy and guidelines. Making improper and unfounded accusations of impropriety is considered a personal attack, of which you have made a number on this page already. Those kinds of edits are not allowed on wikipedia, of which you have been informed a number of times already. -- Avi 15:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    For the 5'th time i do not see where pointing out a conflict of interest is a personal attack, i see you have said this about me endless times but i am still waiting for third opinion here to see if i was wrong. so please do not repeat yourself against my actions, becaouse you and i aren't the issue here. 2 users, DGG and i have thought it proper to re-esteblish the articles as stubs, you have done what you have done against us, now lets wait for others to express their opinions here--יודל 15:50, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree with you that one of the three isn't Notable but the purpose from this disambiguation wasn't for that alone we need here to make a page to list all subjects who use this header. And when including them we must first include everything that is Notable for the user, then another editor can come and take out all the subjects he deems not notable but to delete the whole page because one link isn't the way.--יודל 17:36, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes right now it isnt becouse an Admin used his tolls to make it like this. I asked to re-edit it, i myself wont do this since i do not want to disrupt wikipedia. But the chronicle of events must be clear. now it is rightfully destined for deletion. i guess th system works somehow, only if the Admins play by the same rules as a the other normal users--יודל 19:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Please note that those articles u r referring to were indeed wikipedia established articles, it was deleted only because of more votes to delete, but in no way does it reflect the real wikipedia process. It will be re-created in no time, and it will be again deleted by those Zionist wikiProject users who evidently have the more votes here, this happened until now every month this was re-created a new because it is notable and real subjects to the minority of people in the world, we should not make wikipedia into a demcartecy of majourety rules, we are a consensus based project, the anti Zionist Jews are indeed a fringe group, but we cannot therefore delete them as a subject, I know i am one here against twenty but i feel i am right.--יודל 14:48, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This film fails WP:NF. The only secondary source given is a review on a minor web magazine, while the guideline calls e.g. for "full length reviews by two or more nationally known critics". PROD was contested with comment: "passes other markers of notability, several notable stars / celebrities appear in the movie". I actually don't see for which notable person this film was a major part of their career; but if so, a merger could be considered. -- Sent here as part of the Notability wikiproject. --B.

    Cons
    1 filtered googling yields precious little hits [35]
    2 Opinions seem generally unanimous that "it stinks", maybe this can be interpreted as "it is not notable"?

    Agree on imdb. It might be below standards for a film review, but Switch is I believe a major skateboard magazine, which are the criterion I think we should apply here. The question here is "did it make a notable impact in the skateboarding community" (it is obviously non-notable to the general public)? Considering I got only 422 ghits, most of them torrent or sales sites, it seems that that community dare speak of this film only on non-googable forums, or not at all... draw your own conclusions.--Victor falk 09:44, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment So after reading Blue_Ribbon_Schools_Program, it seems 4% of the schools in the country wins the award. I personally don't think that establishes notability, but I imagine that's a personal opinion. (And unless I missed something, that's the only claim these schools have to notability). However, I do want to second Alansohn's remarks about WP:OUTCOMES being used as a reason to delete. It's fine to use OUTCOMES when trying to decide whether to AfD something (so long as it isn't the sole/primary reason for nomination), but it is not a good reason to delete. Instead, we should cite the underlying reason(s) why this class of articles (and this article in specific) should be deleted. --Bfigura (talk) 05:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This article appears to violate WP:OR. It has no relaiable references. It returns zero hits on google scholar, which is suggestive, even if not a complete guide. User:John Talbot, who started the article, also seems to be the main person promoting the idea. For example, he wrote: "It is for this reason that I proposed some years ago the use of the word panocracy. Pan meaning everyone so panocracy is rule by everyone" on [42] on 2006-06-20 12:17, and seems to be the main author of the site promoting this idea [43].

    • I don't have a problem with merging any sourced and accurate info. There is little credible in one article and none in the other. There IS such sourced info on pantocracy and panocracy on the web that could be added, if it is proved it is relevant. But you can't merge someone's original unsourced research and opinion on how all these things relate to each other. That's what it means when the articles are being deleted for violating WP:OR.

    I agree. It's a bad precedent to allow essentially all opinion articles to survive. People who want to keep the article should do the research and re-write it with sources! Unsourced opinion articles shouldn't be merged into sourced articles, thereby bringing down their quality. When does this get decided, anyway??

    Pixelism Art Movement (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

    Fun one here. This claims to be an art movement. At first I thought this was an elaborate hoax, but it isn't, as at least one genuine artist does seem to call one of his works a "pixelism" [45]. Other artists may produce work in this style [46], but do not call it pixelism that i can tell. The article gives 3 references, which actually do seem to exist [47] but again do not mention the term "pixelism" as far as I can tell. Then, I can't find anything else confirming this is a genuine art movement... [48] [49].

    The result was No consensus - Being verifiable, indiscriminate, and notable are not issues for this list, because the content is verifiable, follows a clear theme, and can be sourced. Consensus regarding these issues is clear. However, just because the fact that Arby's and the other restaurants on the list are fast food restaurants and that fact can be sourced and verified does not address the real issues of this particlar list. The issue that needs to be the focus of any future AfD discussion is list vs. category and whether this list meets any of the three main list purposes. There was some discussion on these, but not enough to produce a clear consensus, in part because of the distraction of whether the list was verifiable, indiscriminate, or notable. -- Jreferee t/c 00:13, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    This page is very long and seems to be list of every single fast food restraunt known notable or not. The page is basicly a collection of Internal and External Links mixed in and violates these policys and Guidlines: WP:SOAP, WP:NOT#LINK,WP:LINKS, and possibly WP:DIRECTORY Sawblade05 (talk to me | my wiki life) 01:42, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    The list is superior to the categories because much of it contains redlinks. Tim Q. Wells 02:21, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Mayhap the folks who care can userfy the list, and create real articles for the redlinks. SolidPlaid 03:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, I would agree there shouldn't be these external links in the article, and they should probably be removed. CitiCat ♫ 02:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    • How is it a misuse of indiscriminate? i said 02:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Because fast food restaurants is a commonly used grouping. A list of restaurants that have eight letter names, or that have green signs, would be an indiscriminate list. CitiCat ♫ 02:43, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, those would be more discriminate lists than "fast food restaurants". Not be semantic, but indiscriminate means lacking in finite distinctions, which, other than "it's a fast food restaurant by someone's standards", this article lacks. i said 02:45, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Then list them this way: if the Wikipedia article can make the judgment on whether it is a fast food restaurant then it should be in the list. Tim Q. Wells 02:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, to use Wiktionary, indiscriminate means "without care or making distinctions, thoughtless", which I would take to mean you're just making up lists without any thought to whether there is a logical grouping of the list entries. But this is exactly why I've tried to get that language in WP:NOT changed, because it just causes arguments. "Fast food restaurants" (note the plural) returns 1,700,000 ghits, it's a very commonly used category, including tons of articles in periodicals, and directories. And of course we have Category:Fast-food restaurants which would have to be deleted as well. As to a definition, I think it would be generally defined as an establishment where the food is pre-prepared [50] and counter served. CitiCat ♫ 03:07, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    So then indiscriminate, by your reasoning, means only a list of items that have nothing in common? Yes, these things, as well as others, have things in common. That does not made it discriminate. If you use "commonly grouped category" that means pretty much anything that has a collective name. For instance, we could say "made in China". According to your definition, that is not indiscriminate, as there is a collective term that they fall under(2.64m ghits). And finally, that definition is flawed, since not every "fast food" restaurant has pre-made food; in addition, wouldn't the capability of special orders disqualify a restaurant under the definition? i said 04:31, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Categories are not more suited because they cannot contain redlinks. Tim Q. Wells 03:05, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Question to Tim, Hwo in the world would I know the notability of the Red Linked restraunts? Sawblade05 (talk to me | my wiki life) 03:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Search to find evidence of existence and notability. If nothing turns up, it's not notable (or a hoax) and should be removed. If you get various sources, then create the article. Hmm, sounds familiar... Ideally, all lists should contain sources and inline citations to evidence each entry's merit of inclusion, however this is not usually the case (as with thousands of other noteworthy articles). - Mtmelendez (Talk|UB|Home) 15:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment: What do you have against retaining the edit history? What difference does it make to you? PC78 00:52, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    The article survives if its history survives. I believe that fewer non-notable articles would be created if people feared the articles would vanish forever once deleted. Why do you want the history to survive? The only possible explanation is that you want some trace of it to survive. SolidPlaid 03:57, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    The edit history should be retained for future reference, and the posibility remains that a viable article may be created at some point in the future. It wouldn't be causing any harm and shouldn't be deleted without good reason, and I don't see you giving one. I don't like it doesn't count. PC78 22:31, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    You want the the article to remain somewhere for the future, which demonstrates my point. The harm is that fans can write an article on anything, no matter how non-notable, and hope that it will exist forever in history limbo even after deletion. I want to extinguish that hope to preclude the future creation of articles on non-notable topics. Do you understand? Wikipedia is not a vehicle to immortality.

I think most of the arguments here boil down to WP:IDONTLIKEIT, and (while I don't like Myst, either), it's obviating the real use and interest that these articles hold for a lot of users.

    Actually that's incorrect, you need to go to the sub-sub categories, it gets pretty dispersed. You can see it better by using the Special:CategoryTree. For example, Category:Middle schools in the United States leads to Category:Middle schools in California which has over 200 entries. I don't know how if there is some wiki-way to quickly sum up the total of entries in a category and all it's sub-categories, but it would be helpful. Note also Wikipedia:WikiProject Schools seems to have no such distinction for preferring High schools but deleting elementary and middle schools. Arthurrh 01:16, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Sorry to display my ignorance on this, but I've just recently wandered into the schools area of wikipedia because of searching for vandals. I can't seem to tell what the notability criteria is for schools. What's discussed above certainly doesn't agree with the schools wikiproject. Either a lot of articles are being kept that should be deleted, or the reverse is happening. Arthurrh 01:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    FYI a sum of all entries underneath the "Middle schools" category is 1670. (see list of Middle schools categories) This is somewhat inflated as I believe it also includes the sub-category names, but it is close. Obviously Middle schools are not an automatic deletion.

    I keep seeing this "Middle schools are usually deleted" but the fact that there are over 1500 of them seems to contradict this. Arthurrh 03:59, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    List of Japanese Nintendo 64 games[edit]

    Despite Floppydog66's reasons given on the article's talk page, I fail to see how a seperate list from List of Nintendo 64 games is useful even to otaku such as myself. Such specialized interest is served better at the Japanese Wiki.SeizureDog 06:56, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

    Delete We already have a list of N64 games. I do not see the point to have only a list of Japanese games. Carlosguitar 08:41, 9 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
