Delete. Vanity, self-promotion, advertising. Article does not assert notability; in fact it asserts non-notability. 11 unique Googles for "saimeks", 246 for "paul westermeyer" (none of which seem to be relevant) and the referenced "humor" site, thefire.tk, is simply a advertising page with a redirect to a collection of links to "humorous" screeds hosted on Geocities.

This ariticle gives its "source" as another Wikipedia article (Water polo)! In fact, it's just a paragraph from that article. Maybe someday somebody will write an interesting article on a particular sport at a particular Olympics, but just repeating material from another article is not a good way to start. ----Isaac R 01:36, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.
I count 15 "delete" votes, 8 "keep" votes (9 anonymous or very new user's votes were discounted) and 3 comments that were too ambiguous to call.
Reviewing the content and the comments below, I find 1) an argument that the article is lexical rather than encyclopedic and 2) an argument that if verified, the contents of the article might form the basis for a new article at the title ROFL Attack. (An article by that title does now exist but was apparently created by cut-and-paste during the discussion period.) The facts supporting the first argument were never disputed. The "keep" voters instead expressed their dissent with the policy that Wikipedia is not a dictionary and argued to keep despite the policy. (Wikipedia has an admittedly inconsistent precedent on that question.)
I find the content related to the word and it's derivation to be both unverified and more appropriate to Wiktionary than to Wikipedia and hence deletable. However, because content from this article was used to create a separate article, I am going to exercise my discretion to call this decision as a "keep as redirect" in order to preserve the attribution history.

The result of the debate was delete as an unresolved copyright violation. Please note that the content is sourced right in the article as taken from Obsidian Forum Community, a site which is clearly marked as copyrighted. No one came forward during the discussion period with any claim or evidence that this content is allowable under any of the fair use exceptions.
I will, however, note that no concensus was reached on whether there ought to ever be an article on this topic. There was a clear concensus against keeping this as a stand-alone article. The majority opinion (but short of concensus) was to merge any salvagable material into Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords. I have not carried out that merge because the only non-copyvio content I saw already appeared to be well-included in the target article. This decision should not be considered precedent if a non-copyvio article is created on this topic. Rossami (talk) 20:58, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't think a group of teenagers in Augusta, GA trying to take over the world is notable. Obviously, Google is no help here due to the common phrase. --Xcali 07:21, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
The group is a purely educational club, teaching students the values of leadership, cooperation, and activism. Your claim of the teenages "trying to take over the world" is a ridiculous one. I'm sure the members realize that such an undertaking is on the verge of impossibility and isn't a reasonable venture. Google would not be a help, as this is the first time we've posted anything on the internet. This was to help keep in touch and continue organization while we're spread apart. We were interested to see if we would come across any similar groups in the process, as well. -kingalex456 (I hope my username doesn't further your idea of us "trying to take over the world".

This text was created in order to push information about Laogai into the Wikipedia. However, it is a city article that should cover information about the city, this information is largely missing. The user who created this article (and many similar articles) is known for this practice in the German and French Wikipedias and has been blocked there for mainly this reason. Creating a lot of articles that contain only one detail about many cities is far away from POV. Sarcelles has been kindly asked to stop this activities (see here), and complete the articles already created with more necessary information. As he is not willing to do that, I propose one of his articles for deletion here in order to see what the opinion of the other contributors is. Herr Klugbeisser 10:58, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This does not belong here. As much as it may provide to the Star Wars universe, I do not see it creating articles for obscure moffs and grand moffs. Wikipedia is not the place for this. Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki is, and my intention is to keep it there, because it was copied from there, and was my work, but now what credit would I get for it? None.

The result of the debate was merge with Bahá'í Faith --cesarb 08:59, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Its a two anon crusade to make a POV fork from the standard Baha'i pages. In my opinion it should be merged inline with relevant text on articles such as Bahá'í Faith. It is pretty over-blown and emotive, let alone ignoring the religion's apologists, but that can be fixed once a correct location for this text has been found. Tomhab 11:48, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Hi, I'm Dawud, the guy who created this page. To merge it into "Baha'i Faith" would make that site overly long, no? It's really not possible to cover criticisms of it in less than article length.
On the POV thing, I do hope to be fair to all sides, and of course anybody else who feels like it can join in. As you can see I've just started. I'm not sure if this format is the best--maybe somebody has a better idea...? 218.167.177.148 06:01, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)Dawud
Tomhab, the "principles" section is more utopian than the others would be, if I (or anyone else) ever get around to writing them. (Doubtful in view of the visible momentum towards "merge or purge".) These principles are, in the main, the points emphasized by Baha'is when presenting their religion.
Maybe "criticisms" gives the wrong impression. Maybe "Baha'i controversies" would be better? Although that suggests intra-Baha'i discussions, and this is intended to be broader. Dawud 01:18, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
I don't think merging with the main page is a good idea. There's simply not enough room. The Women-in-the-House issue does deserve a mention on the UHJ page, sure--but not in this form, it's just not right for that context. Dawud 11:37, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.
I am calling this as a "delete" in deference to the fairly well established precedent that articles about names are really dictionary entries, not encyclopedia articles. As Uncle G points out below, the exceptions are disambiguation pages, not articles about the name. Since this page only lists a single person (who by the way does not yet have an article), it does not qualify as a disambiguation page. I have elected not to transwiki the article to Wiktionary because there is not enough content to convince me that they would accept it. (The content would be "Herner is a german originated family name.")
This delete decision is made without prejudice if either 1) the article is re-created in Wiktionary as an article about the name or 2) the content is used to create a properly-named stub about the one person listed as an example (that content being "Janos Herner is the creator of the TimeWheel, the monument of time erected in Hungary, Europe.").
I am electing not to create the stub on Mr Herner merely because I can find no evidence that he would meet the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies but that is a personal decision, not a concensus VfD decision. Rossami (talk) 21:14, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete -- I think that the "Cobra gesture" does not need it's own article. I think that somebody could add the "You're Fired" gesture to the existing Donald Trump page. Also, the so-called "Cobra gesture" was only used in season 1 of "The Apprentice". The past two seasons, Trump has used the "Pointing gun" motion. At the end of the day, I think that we could just add a comment about the "you're fired gesture" to the Donald Trump page.

If anything it's a neologism for female ejaculation and should be direct there. gren 16:58, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This word has a gender specific use. We do not use "male ejaculation" in speech, it is already understood. Our language is alive and adaptable and because it is, "shejaculation" should stay. I've googled the word and am finding hits for it. The importance of Wikipedia is its usefulness in identifying modern words and phrases.
Do not delete --Gballsout
Do not delete. This word should ABSOLUTELY be kept...it is an important step in furthering the language of sexuality. - zipthunk
DO NOT DELETE! This word is a part of New York vernacular, and I've seen it on various websites. To add it to Wikipedia would serve all who utilize the website. - Allegra Riggio
There seems already to be a consensus and since I'm the author of the entry, I'll put my two cents in. Do what you will, it's of no real importance. I coined the word and felt pretty good about it. Granted, it is merely a new synonym for "Female ejaculation" but as a feminist, I wanted to give it its own name. It was concise and direct and I thought since the culture of this particular sexual act was still relatively unknown and misunderstood, this word would help draw attention and pique the curiosity of people who wished to learn.
When I googled the word 7 weeks ago, there were no returns. Now there are a few, mostly related to my original article, but oddly two porn sites have picked it up. Now what's more validating than that?
When I visited this site yesterday, I searched the word and no results were returned. However, there was a friendly invitation to create an entry for it. So, I read the rules and didn't seem to be violating any of them (I'm not making money, it wasn't gibberish) and made my entry.
Certainly my ego is involved in making this entry, but I don't think it's more than a healthy one. So, it's of no importance that it remains here.
Perhaps I will get lucky and someday the word will enter the common vernacular and it will be entered by someone else. Until then....
Cheers! gballsout

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.
As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.
This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.
This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.
This article is also not notable to non-Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.
Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.
This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:56, 1 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article has waited more than 18 months for cleanup and NPOVing, but I'll judge nobody volunteered, because the article is a dead end and should be deleted.

Delete - most of this article is patent nonsense. For example, this quote,
totally ignores the work of Riemann, Lobachevsky, Einstein, and all the research since them on curved spacetimes. It is a piece of bad luck in one way that you can envision most 2-spaces pretty well (exception: the Klein bottle ) by imbedding them in 3-space. It does help elementary teaching, but it gives the false impression that curved geometries can "always" be regarded as artifacts of selecting a lower dimensional space out of a higher one. That approach has not been useful. I once asked a mathematician how many dimensions of Euclidean space you would have to use to imbed a curved 4 dimensional space and I do not remember the answer, but it was large - I believe 8 or more. So it "helps" you to think of curved 3-surfaces as imbedded in Euclidean 3-space (so long as you do not try to detour across the unoccupied part of that 3-space) but it does not help to envision 3 and 4 dimensional curved spaces stuck in higher-dimensional flat spaces.
I realize that this is supposed to be an elementary discussion and evidently from the "save" votes it has made some sense to some people, but Wikipedia ought to provide a jumping off place for the more serious student, and the idea of using a straight line to connect two points on a 2-sphere and use it as the shortest path is very misleading. The shortest path is the arc of a great circle. Spherical triangles have interior angles that almost never total to two right angles, and you can find that in high school level texts on solid geometry. So it should be reasonable to expect readers of Wikipedia to understand that on the surface of a sphere, the "straight lines" are arcs of great circles, and in higher-dimensional spaces the geodesics will not be related to any Euclidean metric.

What can I do but repeat: It is very misleading to speak of a straight line cutting between two points on a sphere (as a chord) when one is describing the curved geometry of the sphere. You are jumping out of the space you are talking about, and in 3 and 4 dimensions this may require adjoining many more. The point of studying curves spaces and spacetimes is to describe ways to measure that curvature and deal with its physical effects without adjoining all sorts of additional dimensions so we can feel happier thinking of the curved space as a subset of a larger flat space.

Jeesh. A whole page dedicated to an out-of-date graphics card made by ATI, complete with Benchmark scores. Its not even a well known or notable model. Is this a review magazine or an encyclopedia? If this user wishes to contribute, can I kindly suggest he enhance the exisiting Radeon page, as thats the present location for detail on ATI cards. Timharwoodx 20:19, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
[anonymous:06-11-05 5:40 est]I suppose according to the published Wikipedia Deletion policy, specifically the "Such a minor branch of a subject that it doesn't deserve an article" portion, that this is indeed a good candidate for action.
Here are the bones I particularly have with the article.
First, the ATI Radeon, model 9250 is not... I don't know, a unique product. It is a rather vague marketing designation used for Radeon based graphics cards using a certain IC that happen to fit a very broad profile. Now in and of itself, there's nothing wrong with that, but it's my opinion, that it's a poor entry to have as on it's own, rather it should be an addendum to the entry on the IC that the model 9250 is a subset of.
Second, I have some issues with the benchmarks cited. It's rather dangerous, in my humble opinion, to casually cite benchmarks with the addresses of websites, and I also believe that it is in poor style to just randomly quote benchmarks, rather I think that there should be a site wide policy on graphics card benchmarks.[/anonymous]
Yeah, but if this stays, then what happens next? We get separate pages for EVERY electronics product ever made? Complete with all known technical details, and all recorded benchmarks? Then what? We dispute which are valid benchmarks to include? Surely it should be as it is now, one page per NOTABLE series of products manufactured. Its a pandoras box to vast amounts of mindless content no-one will ever read. Timharwoodx 12:59, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
'I can't see what the problem is with an article on all the electronics products ever produced.' Have you any idea how much rubbish that would introduce into the Wiki? What, multiple pages dedicated to benchmarks, on every graphics card, sound card, widget, and CPU ever released? Well, while we're at it, why not put every press release ATI ever released into the WIKI as well? I've put several pages up for deletion before that were just ATI and NVIDIA press releases, and they always got delted. WIKI is not a PR vehicle for large multinational compaies. Maybe you think it is. Besides which, the article is complete nonsense, just form a technical point of view. And since a lot of the IT content is my writing, i.e. AMD, NVIDIA, ATI, etc, I know my stuff. Actually the 9250 is a re-spin of the old 8500 core, and if you wanted to write up the 9250, you would list it as a sub category on the 8500 page.
My grounds for deletion is as above, and the WIKI guidelines preclude the holding of info on every electronics product ever made. That would be an indiscriminate list of information. Timharwoodx 21:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
A little WP:RPA has been applied in refactoring the above comments, the sense of which I've attempted to retain.
You're right that press releases should be deleted from Wikipedia--they would be source documents and, subject to copyright and licensing, may be candidates for Wikipedia. You're also right that there are questions about the technical specifications of this family of cards--it owed more to marketing than technology. But those are content questions that can be dealt with by appropriate categorization and editorial content in the article.
While it is true that Wikipedia is not an "indiscriminate collection of information", articles on electronic devices need be no such thing, any more than articles on Shakespeare plays, Beethoven symphonies, Cities in Pennsylvania, musicians with platinum disks, or episodes of The Simpsons.
YOu ask "can I kindly suggest [that the creator of this article] enhance the exisiting Radeon page, as thats the present location for detail on ATI cards" Well it was up to you to do that when you encountered this article--just merge and redirect. Instead of which you put it up for deletion, thus raising the question of whether this information is completely worthless. May I suggest that perhaps it is not. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 21:52, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Since I am one of the resident IT experts, I try to follow the guideline of do not bite the newcomers. I've just added "The 9250 was launched in summer 2004, supporting the older PCI bus interface, and 256mb of memory," to the Radeon page. Thats the only worthwhile content I can find on the 9250 page. I hardly think the fact the 9250 has the CATALYST drivers is news. MERGED. Now delete this nonsense. There is a specialist IT WIKI in operation. The main WIKI is not the place to list every electronics product ever made, with full benchmarks and complete data sheets. Timharwoodx 22:35, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
wikinerds.org - Please take your content to wikinerds. Thats the forum for technical data sheets and benchmarks on every electronics product ever made. Timharwoodx 22:38, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
This is Wikipedia. not wikinerds. The question here is whether the article in question should be deleted from here, not whether it should exist somewhere else. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:51, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Well, it clearly should be deleted from WIKI. I was just trying to point out plenty of other WIKIs now exist, and if you wanted detailed benchmarks and spec sheets on EVERY ELECTRONICS PRODUCT EVER MANUFACTURED, WIKINERDS is the forum for you. They welcome it. The thing is, its people like me who wrote a lot of the IT content in the WIKI, and now some guys come in late in the day, and start adding poor quality material. Well, I'm not having it. I've not written this much content, to see the IT section of WIKI reduced to nonsense, recycled press releases, and page after page of uninformative data sheets. I mean, not to be boring, but the 9250 is just a re-spin of the 8500 core. If someone wanted to write up the 9250 they'd have started an 8500 page, and stuck the 9250 at the bottom of it. Its not even a logical presentation. The page is technically illiterate, misconceived, poorly presented, and irrelevant. Timharwoodx 22:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Advertising. Not encyclopedic. Google search: [30]. Oh and by the way, Tom Rath definitely didn't coin the term "positivity". I don't believe this needs a redirect to something relating to the physical/electrical concept of "positivity" or the emotional concept of "optimism" so I'm nominating it for deletion.
