The article was weak before and did not do justice to the subject. This standard is the subject of intense academic research. Not only Fujitsu offers a products based on this language, but so does BEA(Fuego), IBM(FileNet), TIBCO(Staffware), and about 2 dozen others. More important from a Wikipedia point of view is the number of open source workflow projects which are designed around XPDL. The office of the Deputy Prime Minister in the UK has sponsored a national workflow project which officially endorses WfMC standards (including XPDL) for all workflow projects in the UK. There is a working group at ISO working to adopt the WfMC reference model as an official ISO standard.
What is more important is the number of refereed papers from conferences or well known journals which speak of XPDL. I have included citations from IEEE conferences, ACM conferences, Springer Verlag books, as well as PhD and Master's theses. XPDL is a subject which is well woven into the fabric of the information technology industry. None of the citations are WfMC publications. I tried to restrict the cited articles to those that mention XPDL directly in the title or abstract. But there are hundreds or possibly thousands more papers that mention XPDL or WfMC standards in one way or another, due to the central role that WfMC has played in the area of workflow for the past 13 years.

According to Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Further, according to Wikipedia:Notability, a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and each other. All topics must meet a minimum threshold of notability in order for an article on that topic to be included in Wikipedia. This article is nothing but a trivial collection of quite useless information, and it most definitely has not been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works.

I believe we should be referring to guidelines on fictional characters as grounds for suitability for deletion. Specifically, Major characters (and places, concepts, etc.) in a work of fiction should be covered within the article on that work of fiction. If an encyclopedic treatment of such a character causes the article on the work itself to become long, then that character can be given a separate article. Therefore, I propose that this debate should be shifted to "Is Cortana a major enough character within Halo to warrant an article of her own?" as per these established guidelines regarding fictional material.

Weak Delete Her earlier books show a peak amazon rank (for "The Way Home") of #232,909. Her homeschooling books may be more notable, however. Harvest House Publishers is a specialty company with a definate agenda, which may invalidate them as a source, they are not, however, vanity press. Her other publisher appears to primarily publish religious tracts, but is also not vanity press. The most serious issue for me is the fact that only one trivial non-publisher source is given for her. The lack of sourcing does not mean the nonexistance of sources, however, and I'd like to give the benefit of the doubt, but the new community precident, as derived from the AfD for 2, The Ranting Griffon, is that if an author is notable only to a very limited group or set, then they do not merit inclusion. I have to endorse this precident, seeing as given a narrow enough set of the population, anything could be notable.

- begin quote -
A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, hip hop crew, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
An article in a school or university newspaper (or similar) does not automatically meet the this criteria, but facts from such an article can be used to establish that any other criteria below have been met.
The above is the central criterion for inclusion.
- end quote -
Demiurge has taken criteria from the secondary list, even though Mr. Counts meets the primary criteria. If we were to go around Wikipedia proposing articles for deletion every time we didn't like somebody, I doubt there'd be any articles left. If you had proposed this article for deletion because it was insufficient in its citations, that would be one thing, but to say he's non-notable is another thing entirely. By the primary criteria, Counts is notable. Record contracts, chart positions, and the like are secondary. TrevorPearce 04:07, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Hi guys -- I don't think I'm nearly important enough to qualify for a Wikipedia entry on myself but I'm flattered that Rev. Moon follower SteveDufour created one about me. Nevertheless its claim that i'm an "unprincipled dogmatist" isn't really NPOV. Johngorenfeld 13:31, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Mr. Defour, you win the award for hilarity. Johngorenfeld 17:48, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Reason 1 to delete: The subject of the article requested it. This reason may no longer apply.
The subject of the article is a new user, and seemed in his early comments not to understand vandalism (or not to believe the inappropriate phrase was vandalism). He happened to see the article just afterward, but not before the vandalism was removed. He can verify that it was vandalism by unregistered user 203.59.166.123 by going to the history tab. Perhaps he is afraid that the article might be vandalized again. Assuming he still wants the article deleted, unless he comments again here, giving his reason (other than vandalism), "Reason 1 to delete" seems to carry little weight.
Reason 2 to delete: Copyvio. If there ever was a copyvio, the article has been rewritten, and there is no longer any trace of the similar phrase or two that prompted the accusation. This reason clearly no longer applies.
Reason 3 to delete: Subject is not sufficiently notable. Undecided.
Opinions vary on this point. Laurence Boyce says "The English Wikipedia contains loads of articles for little known journalists," and contributor Steve Dufour says "John was mentioned by newspapers all over the United States and was interviewed on National Public Radio and ABC TV for his role in reporting on the Sun Myung Moon Coronation incident." Others do not find these arguments compelling, but much of the discussion above has become outdated because of improvements to the article.
The template above says "This is not a vote." But I have seen AfDs where lazy admins seemed to do nothing other than count up the votes (which are not supposed to be votes). Why do we have a tradition of putting our conclusion in the form of "Delete" or "Keep" in bold at the beginning of each entry? Shouldn't an admin deciding the outcome be required to check for changes to the article and read the entire discussion, looking for reasons rather than votes?
Since I have to go along with this questionable tradition, I will. I hope admins and others who comment on this page will read.

Notability really isn't established here. The article tries to claim that Poindexter was a founder of Alpha Phi Alpha, but at best, he was involved in organizing the group that became Alpha Phi Alpha, which doesn't qualify him as a founder. I suspect there's some POV issues here, related to a long-running feud on the Alpha page and a few other articles on African-American fraternities. | Mr. Darcy talk 15:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep In the official fraternity history book, The history of Alpha Phi Alpha, a development in in Negro College life by Charles Wesleym 6th printing copyright 1929,1950. Charles C Poindexter is mentioned on pages 24,26,28,30,32,33,34,35,36,37,39,41,42, and 43 (please note that pages 1-23 are introductory concerning US history).
CC Poindexter is mentioned repeatedly in references and sources that were utilized by article Alpha Phi Alpha including Mason, Herman "Skip" [1997] (1999). The Talented Tenth,Wesley, Charles H. [1929] (1950). The History of Alpha Phi Alpha, Alpha Phi Alpha "A Century of Leadership" PBS Video, Alphi Phi Alpha Fraternity, Mu Nu Chapter, Alpha Phi Alpha Fraternity, Alpha Chapter.
CC Poindexter's place is akin to that of the 13 colonies and their relation to the United States. Simply read the article, look at the sources (watch the video link), there is no POV pushing, but simply a short bio of the role one man played in the planting the seed, and developing a group that became the first intercollegiate black fraternity in america, Alpha Phi Alpha. 2Cold06 20:29, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If you look up CC Poindexter on the link you can actually view page 183. One of the writers of the book is Gregory Pecks who on page 2 is listed as a member of Alpha Phi Alpha. I have serious doubts he would give false information concerning his fraternity. The book also isn't a highly biased source which may be the case of the history of alpha phi alpha. I don't see why this book wouldn't be considered to be a good source. So now you're saying that the date is October 23rd but this is in conflict with Oct 27th reaffirmation and the May 23rd 1906 formal adoption. I've given you a glance of an actual page so you can go over this if you like. Ccson, becoming a member of Wikipedia and reading wikipedia and learning its rules are 2 very different things.

The result was speedy delete for having effectively zero content. The article's content is no more than a restatement of its title, and the title itself is false. Whilst "flint" is a verb, albeit not recognized as such by many dictionaries, its verbal meaning is the simple one: to furnish an object with flint. This is apparently an attempt to promote a silly protologism. (And if it isn't, then the speedy deletion criterion for not providing any context for determining what it actually is about applies.)

Non-Notable. How can this possibly be considered encyclopedic? Their spat is hardly a controversy, it's a feud and this page is all "he said, she said". There have been much bigger celebrity feuds and the only reason this one is noted is because both are among the most ridiculed "celebrities". There's no Tom Cruise controversy page, no Brad-Angelina-Aniston controversy page, no South Park and Barbara Streisand controversy. The page creator cited the Mel Gibson DUI incident when defending this page, but at least the Mel Gibson page is well cited and well written. It also has a much larger scope and affected his entire career, this feud will be over or forgotten in a month. This article has templates for not citing references, not being wikified and not being neutral. This feud is only "big" because the talk shows make fun of it and the tabloid news shows (like ET) make a big deal of it. I'm probably going to end up nominating this page for deletion, which I don't like doing, but this page is pointless. It also sets a dangerous precedent, because if this feud can become it's own page, why not all insignificant celebrity gossip? -- Scorpion 15:49, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Deleted on prod, undeleted per request, prod rationale was "This article does not demonstrate that the subject meets Wikipedia's generally accepted criteria for inclusion of biographies. Television personalities are not automatically notable merely for being on TV. Without some form of reference or source, it is impossible to verify whether this person meets one of the inclusion criteria." Procedural, abstain. crz crztalk 21:54, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Meets criteria for what WP:NOT. Whole article reads as an advertisement or alike boasting only about the websites functions. Article, as is, fails to establish notability guidelines, per WP:WEB. Luke! 22:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

AfD nominated by Jamesbourne11. No reason specified. This is a procedural nomination - my opinion is Neutral. Tevildo 22:38, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The result was KEEP. Reasons:
It's not that the Keep arguments are all that strong; it's more that the Delete commentors failed to prove their case. This is the fifth nomination. Not counting the withdrawn nomination, this makes the last two closed as Keep, so I think it's time to stop renominating this article until 2008 at the earliest. The comments that the article should be renamed are well taken, and although I'm not going to do that now as part of the close, I don't see why another editor shouldn't move the article.

The flip side would be a history of RS - there's a page on it already available to gather info from. Writing the history of the game world instead of fixating on gods would have many advantages:
Keeping this article as is, with the same title, will not result in a stable, meaninful article. The focus of the article is wrong and the need (as well as the objective) of what is just a list of NPCs has not been demonstrated. Characters that don't belong aren't left in the article for weeks on end because deleting them is difficult, they're left because they'll only be added again because the entire article is geared to self-defeat and conflicts with all the progress the RS series has made. Twenty contributors aren't going to change that, they'll spend their time arguing back and forth and leaving a different mess to the one they found.
Articles like RuneScape weaponry, RuneScape armour and RuneScape minigames were not a success. They were filled with fancruft, unmanageable, meaningless to non-players and worst of all they missed the point - to provide relevant, readable material. RuneScape combat (the resultant merge) has been quite the opposite. Minigames was an article I was working on myself, though after seeing it gone all I see are steadily improving articles where it used to be.
The experiment has been run enough times for us to learn from it - can we please accept that and get on with the task at hand? Or do we have to set up the bubbling flasks again and meet back here when the weather's warmer?
I should point out that the idea of a history article was none of mine, Captain Vindaloo mentioned it. If he had not done so I would be asking for this article to be deleted. However, the idea of creating a history article to turn the article upside down into a great opportunity for us and something good for our readers. QuagmireDog 01:38, 8 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Clean up and keep It is not a game guide and its part of a notable series. This is part of an ongoing improvement drive - • The Giant Puffin • 12:03, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ok, it looks bad with all the ((fact)) tags all over everything, but thats just a bunch of spam. Most of those tags are things that have citations in RuneScape, and or things that would use the same citation are tagged 3,4,5 times. I'll concede that it needs a moderate overhaul, but the cruft isn't as bad as it looks, if you want cruft look Here. Other than those reasons for deleters i bashed, I agree with User:CaptainVindaloo and totally think it should stay. → p00rleno (lvl 80) ←ROCKSCRS 17:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC) [reply]
Keep- The nomination uses WP:CRUFT to support the deletion of the article, which is not a Wikipedia policy or guideline. I suggest that a new AfD entirely supported by policy be submitted in a few months again.--Ed ¿Cómo estás?Reviews? 18:37, 15 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

One of twelve presenters on a Channel 4 (UK) show that got dismal ratings and was absolutely panned by the critics; none of the presenters had past form, and it doesn't look like this one has present form either. A couple of English editors have stated they would not know him from a hole in the ground. I am one of them. May one day be well know, but definitely is not yet. He's not even the top Google hit for the name, the European Sales Director of Strand Lighting gets that honour, followed by an Australian priest then a bloke who works for Direct Line Insurance.

This is a niche product. Absolutely useless on wikipedia and I'll tell you why. No one knows about this game. It is too insignificant to be on wikipedia. I mean, the Adventure Company is barely afloat. This is better served on a company website not wikipedia. it is too insignificant and warrants deletion. Also the prose is so sloppy that it reads horribly. Shaanxiquake 23:55, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

thoroughly unremarkable song. not on any real album, and only some performance song. also so small that it's too little for wikipedia. this is a severe stub, should be removed because it is thoroughly a waste of space. no point to it, no one's ever heard of this song and no one ever will.

This is original and describes things very well. There is no need to delete these valuable works such as these. Very educational and I really took my time while writing this. Please do not delete this, let us all work together to make this more wikipediaish, or w/e you guys say. after reading countless wikipedia articles, i think this has a higher quality than others!--Mrahman1991 00:45, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
