The result of the debate was
Delete, with some reservations. Upon reviewing National Geographic Bee, it appears that we currently have no articles about any of the winners; I just deleted the article about Felix Peng (AfD). From the comments in this AfD and the other one, the general perception among Wikipedia editors is that the National Geographic Bee is not (yet) notable enough for winners to be get their own Wikipedia articles. Indeed, Orzel cites a New York Times article below which makes this very point: that the National Geographic Bee deserves more attention (which implies that it currently does not have it). Wikipedia is not in a position to push cultural trends, it merely reflects them.
Regarding WP:BIO, while Kyle Haddad-Fonda has been mentioned in some notable publications for his victory, the deletion hinges on the definition of "newsworthy event". As per the discussion below, and about Felix Peng, the National Geographic Bee is not currently seen by the Wikipedia community as a newsworthy event. If the perception of the NGB changes, or if Kyle makes other notable achievements, a recreation is a definite possibility.--Eloquence* 23:16, 8 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This page, along with the additional related articles underneath, violates WP:NOT, WP:V, and WP:NOR. These articles (along with a number of others) were nominated for deletion in March 2006. That debate led to no overall consensus, but general agreement that the pages required drastic reform (see the deletion debate). Since then these three articles have remained very much the same.
Essentially these pages are relics of various NPOV/OR disputes in the Major power and Superpower articles. They have seen very little editing, good faith or otherwise, and are not significantly linked to. I propose that verifiable content should be merged into the Russia, Japan, and Brazil articles and the articles themselves should be deleted.
For the foregoing reasons, I wish to add the following pages to this nomination:

Contested WP:PROD. The reason given was: There is no widely recognized fach called "piccolo." This appears to be something invented by fans to describe singers who have high voices and are particularly proficient in the flageolot register. It is covered quite adequately by the various sorts of "coloratura," all of which terminology is widely used. I concur with this. According to George, who added the original tag, this does not appear in any of the standard music references, e.g., Grove's Dictionary, Harvard Dictionary, a google of the phrase "piccolo coloratura" returns only 14 hits, and a google of "piccolo soprano" returns 652, most of which are instrumentation lists, e.g., "bassoon, flute, piccolo, soprano." At least one of the names originally listed was removed, as being incorrectly attributed (not a surprise given that there appears to be no provable currency for the term in the first place).

A article about a 20 year old artist / musician that fails to show verified notability (see WP:V, WP:BIO & WP:MUSIC). I can find no supporting verification for the statements like "paintings and music that appeared in many non-profit shows and artists websites" & "Her realistic work was shown in galleries around New York and other public displays". Further more there seems to be very limited information avalable, for example a Google search for "Anita Ramroop" or "Saint Insomnia" return no relevant hits, excluding myspace and like websites, or the empty personal website. There also seems to be a strong chance that the article is a vanity creation due to the associaton user name of the article creator and the name of the personal web site, userfication may be a alternative to all out deletion. blue520 12:43, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted. While the article describes a notable conspiracy theory, its narrative was that of the conspiracy theorists, and no reliable sources were cited. If an article on this topic is to be written, it needs to be based on reliable sources, such as books or papers by notable historians, and rewritten from scratch. To anyone who wants to work on an encyclopedic narrative about this topic, I'd be happy to provide a copy of the most recent revision; it might also be a good idea to do this in a consolidated article about Nazi conspiracy theories (or a similar title). See also: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haunebu.

This article along with Adisa Cizmic and Haris Cizmic have been subject to sockpuppetry as shown at Wikipedia:Requests for checkuser/Case/Djedamrazuk. Therefore I am listing the three of them at this time. Haris Cizmic has already been through Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Haris Cizmic which I closed as KEEP despite the large amount of sockpuppets. This was due to the fact that the nominator had removed the AfD tag, most of the delete comments were made prior to the articles clean up and a review of the article lead me to believe that there was enough of a claim of notability. Therefore, I am listing all three articles with no opinion to keep or delete. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:26, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails WP:WEB The content itself has not been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself. The website or content has not won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation. The content is not distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster. Therefore the content fails to meet WP:VER using reliable sources which are secondary sources. The content is therefore original research, unencyclopedic, and possibly autobiographic.

Non-notable website, fails WP:WEB --AbsolutDan (talk) 17:20, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Just to have asked; Do you not find the article interesting? Do you not "learn" anything about the subject? That is why I never understand deletionists, instead of looking at the content of the article you automatically run for the delete button when you find nothing on Google or Alexa about it. This article isn't a stub, it's full of content; allright, it needs cleaning, but so do many articles on Wikipedia. Someone pushing random article and landing on this article might find it interesting. Is that not the reason we are here? To collect all the information of the world. You may argue that it's not notable, and I would have understand why you would want it removed if it was a silly little stub of two lines with no information about the subject matter. But this article does not fall under that. And it even promotes Wikipedia, by showing everyone that free and available information that can be edited by anyone is good. Havok (T/C/c) 21:01, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I am a user of the disputed wiki FFXIclopedia, and I have made minor edits/changes to it as well. If I can demonstrate other, high traffic FFXI-related sites linking to the wiki and referring to it's content - is that enough ? If another site or author makes certain statements about the wiki, does that meet the criteria ? Will that satisfy the Verification criteria ? There is quite a bit of work to be done to clean up the article, and I want to know what it will take before I take the time to do it. --Eue 21:22, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Okay, after taking a closer look at the pages in question, I think I know what the problem was. I have removed the part of the article referring to the history of the web site. I am still prepared to hunt down external references to FFXIclopedia - the issue with a totally third party source is, that our site is considered authoritative amongst people who actually play the game - meaning almost any links thru search engines will be circular (i.e., they will link right back to us, as someone has already pointed out). Please keep discussing, and let me know what else needs to be done. --Eue 22:06, 4 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Verifiable means "that any reader must be able to check that material added to Wikipedia has already been published by a reliable source." I don't see how the verifiable guideline applies to the current version of the article. The facts identified in the article are self-verifying. The FFXIclopedia is a wiki dedicated to FFXI and covered by the GNU license. This is documented on the front page of the FFXIclopedia itself. The origin of the name is similarly self-evident. The age of the FFXIclopedia is verified via the history of the site and oldest pages and the number of articles is verified via the statistics page on that site. The facts are verifiable from the FFXIclopedia itself - so maybe the question is whether that site of a reliable source as to these facts. However there is no more reliable a source of the existence, scope, infrastructure and statistics of the FFXIclopedia than the FFXIclopedia itself. The facts identified in the article can only be verified through the FFXIclopedia. --Gahoo 14:22, 5 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Okay, I have been able to find Alexa ranking for the site : as it relates to Final Fantasy XI-related websites, FFXIclopedia is 4th most popular. The only three sites that are more popular are ffxi.allakhazam.com (which is a general-purpose MMORPG database/forum), ffxi.somepage.com (another general-purpose MMORPG database/forum), and www.playonline.com (the official website for Final Fantasy XI). Generic Alexa ratings or Google searches are not very clear, because of the requirement WP:WEB and WP:NOT seem to need more than just a raw statistic. This particular reference, however, is a categorised search : It is a top five site, when people are searching Alexa specifically for Final Fantasy XI. I have added this source to the article, and now can state that the article now meets WP:NOT. Also, I have read into the standards for pop-culture sites and propose that people bear that guideline in mind as well : insofar as many pop-culture sites will not have the formal press acknowledgments..... in either case, I am more than willing to keep trying, but the Alexa ranking within the subject matter at hand clearly shows the web site is notable. The article has been edited to show the correct citation, as requested. Please keep this article.--Eue 05:30, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I've changed my vote to Neutral seeing as the article is now a stub. Havok (T/C/c) 06:54, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'm done arguing this. You seem bound and determined to delete this regardless of what we say regarding notability of the site. Within the FFXI community, FFXIclopedia is notable. I have no clue where this verifiability requirement, or Kunzite's requirements for awards and recognition came from. You all seem to want to place real high standards for this site to meet, and no matter what standards we meet, you all seem to raise the requirements higher. So just delete it.
Our main contention was that if WoWWiki and Guild Wars Wiki are included, then FFXIclopedia should be included as well. Using Alexa, FFXIclopedia is 4 out of 55 sites. However, WoWWiki is 5 out of 45 sites and the Guild Wars Wiki isn't even in the top 10. Yet, both WoWWiki and Guild Wars Wiki are somehow considered notable enough for a Wikipedia entry, but FFXIclopedia is not. Ironically, I called FFXIclopedia a premier site, and AbsoluteDan shot down this statement saying Square Enix doesn't list it as a premier site. But looking at the Alexa rankings, two of the sites listed as premier by Square Enix do not even make the top ten, and FFXIclopedia is listed higher than two other "premier" sites. I don't know how much more proof of notability and suitability for Wikipedia entry you want.
As a minor note, it should be noted that we are only having this discussion because the Wikipedia itself has a List of wikis in which notable wikis are listed. FFXIclopedia is also notable because it is a wiki.
FFXIclopedia, within the FFXI universe, is more notable than WoWWiki and Guild Wars Wiki are within their own universe. That is my arguement; Eue, Gahoo, and Havok have provided my support. If that is not good enough for you, nothing more we say will be. Just delete it. It's what you realy want to do, so just delete it. But you should also delete the WoWWiki and Guild Wars Wiki too. --Rolks 17:20, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I'd like to add one more note before this page meets it's doom. We've put up more of a fight to keep this page than WoWWiki and GuildWiki have combined. Both of those pages have been stubs and remain stubs. They were not challanged nearly as much as FFXIclopedia has been, yet pages like Girlfriend are allowed to exist. (Seriously, take a look at that page; Wikipedia is not supposed to be a dictionary right? All I see there is definitions of the word and there is nothing notable about it - that crap belongs in Wiktionary, not Wikipedia). Seriously, what is one more page in Wikipedia? So much crap and misinformation is allowed to live here, and people with the most page edits or whatever are allowed to be self-proclaimed Wikipedia police and do what they feel based on the mood they happen to be in that day. As I've said, the entire process is laughable, and I'm starting to believe the editors at FFXIclopedia make better arguments and more sound decisions than the editors at Wikipedia. Delete this page, it's what you want, and no matter what we say, for whatever unknown reason, Dan is going to win, but at least be fair and be thorough and search wikipedia for even more bogus articles and mark them for deletion. --Ganiman 18:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I agree this is all pretty absurd. One of two things should happen. 1) The more complete history of the FFXIclopedia is added back in with pretty charts and pictures so that it is not a stub-ish entry and actually provides some interesting background on what is without question a notable site in the FFXI community. There would more than likely be no way to verify the facts in the article, but it could have the unverified stub. Or 2) The stub-ish entry is left without the unverified stub. Since the facts the article in that form are self-verifying. I would think that something that seeks to be an encyclopedia would rather have an interesting article with a historical account than the stub-ish article, but I will defer to the larger contributors as to what is preferred. --Gahoo 19:33, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
@AbsolutDan : The Pop-culture note I referred to was the final part of WP:RS - which states that while the site must have a verifiable source, it is understood that "due to the subject matter, many may not be discussed in the same academic contexts as science, law, philosophy and so on. Therefore, the most reliable material available is expected, but sources for these topics should not be held to as strict a standard." I propose that the site be regarded as a pop-culture site for these purposes.
Also, regarding you dispute of the Alexa source : the content of the other sites in the category are tangent to the fact that Alexa categorized the site in the first place. It is not, therefore, the reliability of the other sites in the category, but the reliablity of Alexa that grants the criteria needed to verify that FFXIclopedia is notable.
As far as people being very concerned about the high number of forum posts and blogs related to the subject : that is the nature of a pop-culture subject. Particularly with Final Fantasy XI, which is a Japanese game with international participation : there are only three English-language publications that are specific to the game, and the only regular press coverage for the game are press releases for the actual game itself (and its expansions). All English-language information or references to Final Fantasy XI in general derives from forum posts and blog entries. That is, until FFXIclopedia was started. But the community of people who play the game have traditionally used forums to spread information. Also, the wider press coverage in English is not very broad, since Sqaure Enix relies on word of mouth and the Final Fantasy name to sell the game; the "hard news" or third party review of the site that the deletionists have been demanding simply will not be there for any web site dealing with this subject matter.
Again, where it concerns the subject at hand, Alexa demonstrates that the site is the 4th most popular site. That meets WP:NOT. I propose that other concerns be relegated to the pop-culture provision of WP:RS - that very accurately describes the kind of site/reference/article we are dealing with here.
@ Havok - I believe someone may have added the stub back to the article to try to save it.... I have removed a large section of material that did not focus on the factual presentation/description of what the site is and why it is important (or, more to the point, why it is importnat enough to be in Wikipedia). --Eue 20:04, 6 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This blog has engaged with many mainstream media figures in the UK (such as Nick Cohen and Linda Grant), is reasonably well-visited, and has won some notability on account of it. Please keep — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.138.236.207 (talk • contribs)
I think this blog is well worth reading, and having an article on it on wikpedia is a good idea - it is fairly well visited, and noteworthy.
Some examples of engagement with media figures: Nick Cohen; Linda Grant; Engage. Also worth noting that the blog was referenced in the Jewish Chronicle (ordinarily very hostile to anti-Zionist output). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.143.175.35 (talk • contribs)
Delete Jewssansfrontieres has been the subject of complaints re libel. The blogger has accused Guardian journalist of inventing material in a national newspaper, for which he has supplied no evidence. Violation of copyright laws. Frequently throws around accusations based on speculation. Unreliable material based on pursuit of personal vendettas. WP:VER Rob Foster
I just don’t think the argument that the site tilts at windmills is fair or accurate. Jews sans frontieres criticises and exposes the arguments of prominent political, media and academic figures : E.g. Prof Dershowitz, The Jewish Chronicle, Nick Cohen, Jonathan Freedland and David Aaronovitch. Some of the posts are extremely well argued and not found elsewhere. The post on David Aaronvitch’s column on Galloway's libel trial for example identifies what can generously be described as a series of mistakes, distortions and omissions. I think the site is polemical and sometimes hits hard and could be more charitable to some of its targets, but I think the Guardian columnist seemed to be practising a bit of dishonesty. Personally I think generosity to opponents is important, but not everyone shares this view. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Patrickmurphy (talk • contribs)
Clearly there are some people who wish to see the Jewsansfrontiere blog deleted, not it isn't newsworthy, interesting, provocative etc. but because a Jewish anti-Zionist perspective is unacceptable to them. What they are seeking is censorship of views unpalatable to themselves. Hence the reference to libel, designed to scare the children but a nonsense nonetheless. If the site was libellous it would already have been sued.
My understanding is that the Wikipaedia site is going the same way as most media in the United States or affected by the latter. That is why Noam Chomsky can't get a hearing in US papers but is feted in Britain or why the NYT praises veritable forgeries, Dershowitz (Case 4 Israel), Lynn Peters (From Time Immemorial) and then refuses any response, so these forgeries are exposed in Britain and, yes, Israel. The deletion of this page, which is acknowledged as a place where healthy debate takes place, will be at the urging of those to whom censorship is second nature. In Israel they'll lock you up for it, on Wikipaedia they'll only delete what you say. The principle remains the same.
And yes, if Wikipaedia is going to fulfill its function it has to take on board different perspectives including an anti-Zionist Jewish perspective, which Jewssansfrontiere does very well.

Keep! I have seen the musical skates in action, and they are truly amazing. My son is a competitive ice dancer, and I and his coach believe that this instrument would be a fantastic training tool (helping ensure that the skaters are on the correct edge, and in unison) and that it has the potential to to revolutionize ice dance by having the skaters create their own music as they skate.
On a side note, I found it funny that ((afdanons)) was added to this. Ian Manka Talk to me! 04:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article probably qualifies for Speedy Deletion as per A7, but I thought it might be better to get some input. This "organization" was only created six months ago, and the only element of possible importance I can see is its "awareness-raising project", which started in June 2006. Following the link to its web-site makes me think that this is really an advertisement or promotion of a commercial venture. Agent 86 19:02, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This one is a little tougher than the nominations I've recently made, so I will rely on the AfD process to make the right call. This band seems not to meet WP:BAND. They have one release, which was available on Amazon.com, but not any longer.[53] The articles link to allmusic.com doesn't work, and I can't find them there. Searches for the band are hard, since the band's name is a very common marketing idiom. Mikeblas 20:27, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IN an attempt to avoid Vaniy issues, I have left out information about this: This includes major publishers of magazines such as Blues Review who have been asking us about printing an article pertaining to his relief efforst for victims of Hurricane Katrina & then Rita in Pearlington, MS who were being cut-off from government support by surrounding larger cities. Music Magazines that are working on follow-up articles are located in Canada & in Scottland. --- these articles are slated for a Katrina/Rita a year later type of stories to address the major issues and the major efforts and all the work still to be done even a year later..... I am afraid if I include this information... especially about the involvement with Pearlington, MS will look like Vanity until after the articles are made public & then can be referenced as press/media information. Any suggestions? 24.175.143.111 05:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)bama.brat24.175.143.111 05:18, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Make sure I am clear on this... I should mention he has been interviewed by Music Industry magazines in America, Scottland, and Canada pertaining to efforts to bring attention to the problems experienced in Pearlington, MS... that began due to destruction from Katrina/Rita... or that another fundraiser is plannded or show the date of the first one... that was on WBHM/NPR or exactly what??? I am confused..... I suppose it is dificult for me to see those highly politically charged issues from an objective rather then a subjective view..... he is a musician... he uses his music to make the world a better place thru his fundraising efforts... he donates his talent at least as often as he gets paid because he believes these things are important to endorse and to bring attention.... How can I put this into words without it appearing to be Vanity?

This list is a good idea that hasn't really worked. If this list was complete, it might be useful. However, it is a very partial list and there seems no prospect of it ever being completed. The Television films category is far more complete. While it does say which organisation made the film, this information is contained in the articles themselves. Consequently, I think that we should Delete. BlueValour 00:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article went through an AfD vote last month but I believe it was wrongly decided. There is a very clear pattern of sock/meatpuppeting in the vote. Of the 17 "keep" votes, all but four were recorded from anonymous IP address and new user accounts; another was recorded from User:Sussexman who has since been indefinitely banned. Of the seven "delete" votes, only one was recorded from an anonymous IP address. In view of the apparent attempt at vote stacking, I believe the anonymous/new votes should have been discarded. This would have resulted in the vote being 6-4 in favour of deletion. I have re-listed this article for deletion in the light of the clear abuse of process. Votes from anonymous IPs and new user accounts will NOT be counted given the previous, externally-directed attempt to stuff the ballot. I will not be voting, but I will be keeping an eye on proceedings. -- ChrisO 23:33, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
