List of slang words

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|of slang words logs)

The list isn't sourced, and most of the things on it would only be seen on the Internet. Internet slang already has an article. Also, the page doesn't say what kind of slang should be included so the list could go on forever. J Di 22:22, 29 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Post-rock

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

WP:NEO. This article isn't the same thing that is discribed as "post-rock" on the English Wikipedia. Comments? PullToOpenTalk 01:10, 24 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It is not notable enough to have a article here. We should only have articles on notable things here.--Sir James Paul 21:33, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Controversial, Limp, and most of Category:Definitions

Looks like a dictionary definitions to me. As such, can be taken care of by Wiktionary -- Eptalon 10:13, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Creol pointed out that in the Category mentioned; there are a few more such pages;I would opt for replacing such entries by wiktionary, wherever possible.

Wikipedia:Wikipedians by number of edits

Article (edit|[[Talk:Wikipedia:Wikipedians by number of edits|talk]]|history|links|watch|by number of edits logs)

Promotes editcountitis, and isn't updated enough to be useful in my opinion. PullToOpen Talk 23:07, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delete. PullToOpenTalk 03:41, 23 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quite

I am 'quite' tempted to delete this page, but wanted to get some other comments first. I see it is a BE850 word, but I don't think this article is necessary or even helpful. It is already 'wiktionaried'. Blockinblox - talk 16:27, 16 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kress Stores

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|Stores logs)

Complete fabrication, see: en:S._H._Kress_&_Co. -- Creol 06:04, 8 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The company was started by Samuel H Kress in 1896, not Karl J Kress in 1933. He was born in Pennsylvania in 1865, not a german immigrant in 1898. The first store opened in Pennsylvania not in Illinois. Kress is not still selling merchandise (albeit Chinese instead of german) now since it was sold off and started closing stores back in 1980 (unless you happen to be living in Puerto Rico where there still is Tiendas Kress and they sell mainly clothing apparently). Kress died in New York city in Sept 1955, not in an inner city Chicago public hospital in July 1948.
The only factual statements are that Kress was a 5 and dime, and the US and Spain were at war in 1898. Comparing the en:wiki version to simple -- Creol 01:32, 10 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Kept, cleanup tag added --Eptalon 08:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Consecutive numbers

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|numbers logs)

Tries to explain the concept of consecutive (as following one another). As such either delete, and let Wiktionary do it, or extend to say that it is next in a mathematical sequence, or ring. -- Eptalon 15:28, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Unique

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This is the type of article that is unencyclopedic and belongs in a dictionary, not here. You can usually tell when the title is something other than a noun. (In this case it's an adjective) It's not easy to categorize these non-noun word definitions either. I suggest we delete it, unless there is some special reason not to. Blockinblox - talk 14:39, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note: As for categorizing the term, Category:Characteristics is potentially being set up to cover terms like this one. It already has a handful of other articles that may need to be considered in the same decision as Unique. -- Creol 03:40, 7 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|generation logs)

Non-notable neologism; Google shows few relevant results.--TBCΦtalk? 06:06, 6 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

No assertion of notability. J Di 21:32, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Many articles in the Category Cowboy Bebop

I have nothing against people putting Anime characters (or other fictional characters) into simpleWP. However, where there are name collisions with other (possibly more popular) meanings with our intended audience, we should make sure that these more popular meanings come up first. This is true for Ein (listed below), but also of vicious (which should redirect to a Wiktionary or SimpleWP article about vice, and not to one about a character in Cowboy Bebop. Of course, this may be just my opinion of things. -- Eptalon 16:57, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ein

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

This means either a (as in one of) or one in many Germanic/Nordic languages; that is what English Wikipedia lists as primary meanings; thus this is what most SimpleWP users will look for. However, in SimpleWP, Ein seems to be a character of an animated film. I therefore think it should be moved to a more appropriate title; failing that, it should be deleted -- Eptalon 16:48, 2 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Wikipedia:Esperanza/Coffee lounge

Article (edit|[[Talk:Wikipedia:Esperanza/Coffee lounge|talk]]|history|links|watch|lounge logs)

We come to wikipedia to edit, not to chat. This could make wikipedia a chat room, I do not think anyone wants that. Also the last time someone used it was November 17. It is a total waste.--Sir James Paul 12:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Uncyclopedia

Article (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

The reason I gave to delete it was because it is not encyclopedia content. It is about a non-notable website. We are not a web directory.--Sir James Paul 01:47, 4 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Davina McCall

Trolling on this request for deletion. Administrators, do look out for any further activity on these suspected sockpuppets. Thank you. *Delete after all. Just to get revenge on google answers.Just joking. but one question: why are you allowed to have a page on google or yahoo, but not answers. this is injust.

Christian cults and Cult

These articles are not NPOV. There is no way I can see to make Christian Cult NPOV - any group or doctrine listed will only be opinion, and somebody will disagree. Cult currently is doing the same. It points out groups that some think are cults and others do not. TK421 06:20, 20 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Imaging for Windows

The article is about a imaging/scanning program for windows. To include every program for windows would be a huge task. Non notable programs need not get entries. The original post's only link was to a retailer selling the product which suggests it was intended as spam. -- Creol 17:51, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wolfgang Lehner

At first glance this looks like a valid article (Hence my tagging). Looking closer though, the info cannot be verified, and tends towards absurdity.

At the moment, this tries to explain the meaning of in a nutshell. As such it would probably be better suited for wiktionary. And if we are talking about shells of nuts, we should do so under nut. -- Eptalon 12:32, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted with no discussion by User:Netoholic. Edit summary on deletion was: write articles, Wikipedia is not a social club. What does everyone think? Archer7 - talk 19:58, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice choice of words - "crap" and "kicked in the ass". Just TOTALLY nice. RaNdOm26 08:34, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Its good that you want to "reward good writing". I am sure that most of us do. Netoholic, not a single person in this discussion showed the desire for "social networking" or "fun". The most used phrase above was "strengthen the sense of community". You mentioned that as well in your message. I certainly hope you don't start blocking "unproductive users". Wikipedia isn't fascist, and isn't meant to be. Your blocking policy sounds like weeding out the weak to me. PullToOpen Talk/Contribs 14:11, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
