The GDT[edit]

Oh my, the wonders of the internets! We are not voting on a website, or webforum, instead we're voting on a specific forum thread! I've not even bothered to Prod this, as I know someone will inevitably remove it, maybe one of the "near legendary GDT Crew". I wonder who it would have been, maybe "Oreo- A real life black person."? I am quite possibly breaking the first rule of GDT which is to "Respect the GDT", and for that I apologise. - Hahnchen 00:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Carnival Pinnacle (ship)[edit]

Crystal ball speculation at this time. Carnival's most recent press release on the matter of new vessels (that I can find) indicates only three, Carnival Freedom, Carnival Splendor, and a 130,000 ton Un-Named Carnival Ship, none of which come remotely close to the size of the predicted vessel mentioned here. I also doubt they'd name this vessel 'before' naming the 130,000 tn ship.

An anon user removed my prodtag and added an article from Florida Today, which in my opinion says "its all speculation" The CEOs of Carnival and Fincantieri (Carnival's preferred shipbuilder) say that the "Pinnacle Project" (as dubbed by the paper) is at the discussion stage, with "nothing on the table". -- saberwyn 00:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bmxboard[edit]

Speedy Delete per WP:WEB & WP:NOT. Aeon 01:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

while I would understand completely, deletion of this article, the entry itself should exist within wikipedia.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.173.182 (talk • contribs)

BMXboard is a well known resource through out the bmx community, like Google is to the general public. It shouldn't be deleted— Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.52.166.115 (talk • contribs)

As I've mentioned above in the GDT AfD, you must take into consideration, that out of a world of over 6.5 billion people, who cares about the subject? After all, Wikipedia can't just have an article on everything, as it isn't like Wikipedia has an infinite amount of servers at its disposal.---☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 02:19, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed there are 1000s of web pages out there. We don't need a stub article about a non notible forum. Aeon 02:37, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, so why can't there be an article on bmxboard? This is an encyclopedia, right? Well, Merriam-Webster reads that "... an encyclopedia is: a work that contains information on all branches of knowledge or treats comprehensively a particular branch of knowledge usually in articles arranged alphabetically often by subject." Bmxboard is no different than the Romans. They were a particular group of people, and so is bmxboard. Bmxboard is a niche of BMX riders. I have to ask how bmxboard is different than having Star Trek on this website. Star Trek is definitely a niche. At least bmxboard is real, you can participate in it, you can meet people from it. I have driven to both Miami, Florida and Binghamon, NY, just to meet people that participate on bmxboard. And as far as not having an infinite amount of server space, hard drives are so cheap right now, along with bandwidth, do you really think that the agrument of servers is jusifiable, with this article currently taking up a mere 525 bytes of space (This discussion takes up more than that). Regardless of whether this article makes it or not, bmxboard is definitely a part of the bmx community' it has even been written about in nationly published magazines that anyone can pick up at even a local Wal*Mart (Ride BMX, Ride UK, Dig BMX, etc). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bmxky (talk • contribs)

The difference: Star Trek and Rome are known by billions of people, Bmxboard is known by a small, group of people. If we allow everyone to post their website on Wikipedia as long as the website is "real", regardless of notability, Wikipedia would be flooded with thousands of spam articles each day. Please remember the cost of mantaining wikipedia (not only including servers) is defaintly not cheap. Look at Wikipedia's current budget. I don't know about you, but $321,200 is a lot of money, especially since Wikipedia doesn't have advertisements and relies only on donations. --☆TBC☆ (aka Tree Biting Conspiracy) 04:06, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Discussion in an AfD is not really about the quality of the article. "Neutral point of view" is not the same thing as unbiased. Original research has a different meaning than it does in an academic context. Most of the editors seem to have liked the essay, including me. But it is precisely those qualities that make for a good term paper (arguing a point effectively, contributing something new to the discipline) that disqualify a piece from being an encyclopedia article. --JChap 01:40, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

HaMaayan[edit]

This organisation is real but probably very small. See Google UK [8] and also [9] Article may be mockery of the "local Jewish family [who] act as the public face of HaMaayan" and/or the ambitions of the organisation. (I gave this a category without reading it carefully - newly-added joke tag makes me see my mistake.) HJMG 11:36, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has a history of IP addresses adding and removing NPOV, joke and deletion notices. (Please note - I didn't put on the joke tag - but it made me read the article more carefully than I had before.)
Some editing has come from a Cambridge University IP, including an edit summary saying, "remove - it's a spoof page, as demonstrated by the bizarre humour and mockery behind its composition". The charity appears to be led by one particular couple. Their advertising for a nanny probably led to these remarks being added:"HaMaayan also employs a nanny who is responsible for the needs of HaMaayan's under-5 population." ......liberating women from having to endure pregnancy, is theologically important for HaMaayan." I guess this is a private joke: HaMaayan prides itself as one of the most litigious organisations in the UK. In general, it seems to poke fun at the charity's stated aims, which seem surprisingly ambitious for the Cambridge area: "It is believed that if several thousand Jews can be persuaded to buy properties in Cambridge, and several hundred thousand pounds can be raised then the project could be extremely viable." "There is also a proposal to build a Talmud Torah and an eruv in nearby Newmarket which, after extensive market research is believed to be a location which many Jews may be interested in moving to." (Also, I couldn't find any reference to HaMaayan on Lexis-Nexis UK)--HJMG 21:54, 22 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just to clarify, these are Camuvan's contributions.--HJMG 11:38, 24 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I understand what you are saying but as far as I can see the organisation is real, as shown from the google search and the charity commission website. If it is small, it was nevertheless big enough for its trustee to be interviewed by the Cambridge Evening News as a representative of the Cambridge Jewish community so it can't be that small. In any event, wikipedia has hundreds of pages on individual churches, synagogues, temples or cults with only a few hundred members (i've certainly read quite a few here!). HJMG - would you not agree with me that we should maybe be concentrating on making the page better and not removing it based on current knowledge. look forward to hearing your thoughts - i am new round here so apologies if i have something wrong.

Robertson Scholarship[edit]

Article concerns small scholarship program serving thirty students a year. Article is totally unsourced except for link to scholarship program itself and reads like a press release.

Delete. This person appears non-notable, and claims of being well known are quite unverfiable and unsourced.

1. Articles should contain only material that has been published by reputable sources.
2. Editors adding new material to an article should cite a reputable source, or it may be removed by any editor.
3. The obligation to provide a reputable source lies with the editors wishing to include the material, not on those seeking to remove it.
The journal therefore constitutes a bridge between cutting-edge theory and the mainstream of medical and scientific communication, which ideas must eventually enter if they are to be critiqued and tested against observations.
So, neither of these sources can be taken too seriously. They may provide some verifiability (as in, proving that he has tried to get this ideas out there), but they don't make him notable. More input is needed from others though, my argument may be somehow flawed. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 03:49, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Heinen's[edit]

A non-notable supermarket. Fails WP:CORP. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 04:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Heinen's stub is not intended to advertise the store whatsoever. It is merely providing information on a local community-based grocery store. Perhaps it could be placed within a larger group of articles that discusses community-based grocery stores and their importance in modern suburban areas. Notability need not be a concept of national concern. Grocery stores small and large contribute to the growth of cities alike. They equally bring about the ideas of economy, consumerism, and small business.

Heinen's is comparable to many other grocery stores such as Giant Eagle, and it can furthermore be identified as a competing force against these stores. It should not be considered non-notable simply because it is a local chain in its infancy.

Retrieved from "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Heinen%27s"

I plan on and intend to add additional information that will help make the subject matter more applicable and more notable to the general public. Bluebul1989 04:56, 30 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

  • Comment Please review the criteria at WP:CORP. Can you offer substantiation of notability under those guidelines? Fan1967 05:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why WP:CORP must be the basis for acceptance. Small and growing businesses have little or no chance against it and should be judged using other criteria. Heinen's is a well-known grocery competitor in Ohio and the greater Cleveland area. For information about Heinen's, view [24]. Additionally, Heinen's is a grocer partner of Continental Airlines. [25]. Bluebul1989 01:53, 31 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

Here is a site listing financial information and rankings of top Ohio businesses between 2003 and 2004. Heinen's is ranked within the top 100 on this list. Its sales volume was calculated to be between 100 and 499 million dollars. Heinen's had 2,200 employees at this time and its ranking had increased 42.7% in a one year period. [26]. Bluebul1989 02:20, 31 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

  • Comment Companies like this are precisely why WP:CORP is in place. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. The intent is to only document companies that are newsworthy and notable. A small local grocery chain with 2,200 employees is neither. Fan1967 03:33, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Though the chain is small, upon further research I have discovered that it passes 2 out of 3 of the criteria required to be considered notable listed in WP:CORP. A company known as Wyse Advertising has decided to work for Heinen's and to conduct research for the business. Wyse Advertising. Moreover, as I stated before, Heinen's is listed as a top 100 private Ohio business (it was ranked 51 in 2004) and continues to grow in size and volume. Please consider that Heinen's, although not newsworthy, is indeed notable and competes with many large businesses within its operating area, including Giant Eagle and Tops to name a few. Bluebul1989 03:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

  • You know, I think the standards laid out in WP:CORP are too high (that doesn't change my vote), but I'm wondering something. Why, exactly, are you so intent upon getting this store an article? Do you work for them? Are you an owner? Friends of yours? If you really think that people are interested in learning about this small chain because it's interesting or notable, then fine, but it doesn't seem to me you're very objective here (WP:VAIN). I'm sure it plays a huge role in your local community, much like any grocery store does. I'll bet it's a wonderful store, and may very well be notable someday. Right now, though, it simply doesn't meet the standards for an article. --UsaSatsui 07:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"An article should not be dismissed as "vanity" simply because the subject is not famous. There is currently no consensus about what degree of recognition is required to justify a unique article being created in Wikipedia... Lack of fame is not the same as vanity." (WP:VAIN) Bluebul1989 20:06, 31 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

As I said before, I am not trying to advertise the store. Yes, I am from Ohio and I in fact live near a Heinen's. Yet I have no bias towards Heinen's and consider it as one of many grocery stores in the Ohio region (these other businesses being recognized in Wikipedia). I feel the chain is an important and influential business in Ohio, and should additionally be recognized as a business competitor. I do not work for Wyse Advertising as I am a 16-year-old junior in highschool. Please consider everything that I have discussed in my posts above. If you still do not believe that Heinen's should be submitted as an entry in Wikipedia, at the very least perhaps it could be grouped with other small, less nationally known businesses (or regional businesses), in a "small and notable businesses" article. This would give an opportunity to many smaller businesses that are important but are left in the dust only because they are not nationally recognized. It would also expand Wikipedia without giving too much attention to each individual business. I know that Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages and I agree that not any ordinary or local business deserves a place in an enyclopedia. My only intent is to enter Heinen's as a rather notable and competitive supermarket chain in Ohio, and to eventually bring light to other small and growing businesses in the United States that deserve to be known and recognized as important parts of the economy. -Author of Heinen's Article Bluebul1989 20:07, 31 May 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

  • I'm not the author, par-say... just saying the author would fight for his creation, right? ---J.S (t|c) 22:54, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

IMPORTANT Heinen's is located on the Supermarkets in the United States page under the "Smaller Chains" section. It was already on this page before I even created the Heinen's article, signifying that the creator intended to eventually link this to a Wikipedia article specifically about Heinen's. Having a spot on this page, it is obviously a notable small business, and the Heinen's stub should therefore be permitted. View the page here: [27]. I would also like to note the permittance of other smaller, regional chains in this section that are comparable to Heinen's. Many of these chains are as small as Heinen's. Here are some examples: Woodman's Food Market, Westborn Market, Ukrop's Super Market. There are many chains that are smaller and have a lower sales volume than Heinen's that are located on the Supermarkets in the United States page and that have been granted Wikipedia pages. I find it absolutely ridiculous that there is an obvious inconsistency and discrepancy in Wikipedia policy and ruling that I got trapped in the middle of. My article was not judged in the same manner that these other articles were and was immediately proposed for deletion without any consideration. The fact that I had to fight so hard to support something that should not have been debated in the first place is even more upsetting. I urge that this issue be settled immediately and that all "smaller chains" located in the Supermarkets in the United States article be granted a Wikipedia page, as they are certainly important grocery chains. I hope that all future additions of smaller, notable businesses are overlooked with a fairness and consistency that is expected from Wikipedia. A business does not have to be a large, nationally recognized chain, to be considered notable. -Author of Heinen's stub Bluebul1989 03:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)bluebul1989[reply]

Shoot, most articles about cities, colleges, etc are postive and sya good things about the places. What else are they going to say?

I'm sad about nominating any geographical article for afd but in this case this is probably speediable.

There are some 30,000 ghits for Nakhlah, because it's commonly used as part of place names, such as `Izbat Hanna Nakhlah, `Uwaynat Umm an Nakhlah, and Kafr Nakhlah.

In Response[edit]

I appreciate the opportunity to address this issue. The term "Vanity" seems very innapropriate, in that the motivation for posting the Maximum Cultural Development (MCD) article is rooted in an appreciation for mankinds ability to adapt to his/her environment.

Premises: All things enduring move through (4) progressive phases... These four (4) phases are: development, establishment, maintenance, and refinement...

Almost everything we see around us is at different stages in this process. Understanding this basic, universal concept empowers the knower with the ability to successfully architect positive change. This process also includes ourselves as people. What phase are we oriented towards as individuals, and/or as a group of people? What phase does your personal every day life reflect?

Though we as individuals come and go, we have the blessed opportunity of leaving behind us things that endure for those to come after us, our children... For our young ones to survive and thrive with dignity, it is up to each and every one of us to contribute in some way to the heritage, legacy, and culture that will be looked upon by those of us to come.

The concept of Culture, when fully understood is a very powerful one... It should be noted that even an elaborate inventory of the parts and traits of a culture cannot adequately characterize it. Cultures have organization as well as content. Emphasis on some features as opposed others and the total interrelation of the isolable parts has much to do with the distinctive properties of a culture, in addition to the way they work together as a system. Many definitions have been submitted by scholars from many countries, from all fields of social and biological science and the humanities and in aggregate form the foundational basis for this article. Those herein are contemporary since this is the focus of the topic.

Culture: is the complex system of meaning and behavior that defines the way of life for a given group or society. It includes beliefs, values, knowledge, art, morals, laws, habits, language, and dress. Culture includes ways of thinking as well as patterns of behavior. Observing culture involves studying what people think, how they interact, and the objects they make and use.

The second emphasizes culture as a comprehensive totality and enumerates aspects of culture content. Franz Boas: “Culture embraces all the manifestations of social habits of a community, the reactions of the individual as affected by the habits of the group in which he/she lives, and the products of human activities as determined by these habits.” The third is built on the feature of social inheritance. Ralph Linton: “As a general term, culture means the total social heredity of man-kind, while as a specific term, a culture means a particular strain of social heredity.”

The fourth emphasizes culture as a way of life, a design for living. Paul Sears: “The way in which the people in any group do things, make and use tools, get along with one another and with other groups, the words they use and the way they use them to express thoughts, and the thoughts they think...”

The fifth is psychological in the sense that processes such as adjustment, learning, and habit are single out. Culture as a problem-solving device is stressed. Ralph Piddington: “The culture of a people may be defined as the sum total of the material and intellectual equipment whereby they satisfy their biological and social needs and adapt themselves to their environment.”

The sixth identifies as central the patterning or organization of culture, and its systemic quality. John Gillin: “Culture consists of patterned and functionally interrelated customs common to specifiable human beings composing specifiable social groups or categories.” The seventh and final definition used here focuses on culture as an accumulated product of group life. Kimball Young: “A precipitate of man’s social life.”

Wikipedia itself comfortably falls within the MCD framework with a stated mission of providing free and open access to knowledge resources (assets) for all... Its also reflects adherence to the above stated four phase process.

Wikipedia strays from the process, however, through its rampant merging of vaild, free-standing, concepts (articles) which represent Reusable Learning Assets (RLAs). A classic manifestation of european hegemony...

Maximum Cultural Development warrants that: "We must be producers of culture, not passive consumers of it. Cultural development must be intentional and proactive, focused on clear and valid goals with a concrete vision of how to attain them. We are inundated by language, symbols, ideas, and technology, none of which is neutral. We must therefore define where we stand with regard to them and adopt appropriate intellectual and behavioral responses, if we are to be champions and not victims."

May we all be blessed with deeper understanding. Thank you for allowing me to share... Marcus William Tremble--Codestream 10:17, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. This article was previously deleted by PROD (I was the deleting admin, but not the tagging editor). This is a verbatim reappearance. I cannot verify the existence of this genetically-impossible porn performer from IMDb (the top find isn't him), or from Google. This makes the so-called facts in the article probably unverifiable, apart from the fact that they admit to being impossible. The article also appears to imply original research. It seems likely that this person either does not exist, or is a teenager with an inflated sense of importance, or is so non-notable he is off the bottom of everyone's charts or that this is actually a veiled attack page. In any case, it should go. -Splashtalk 13:22, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Veronica Ruiz de Velasco[edit]

Probably a hoax or an unknown amateur artist; there are only two wiki-independent hits in Google ([32]); links in the article mostly lead nowhere or to general art sites without mentions about Velasco; therefore AfD per WP:BIO Ioannes Pragensis 14:05, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Note: this has been listed on WikiProject Deletion sorting/Visual arts.Tyrenius 00:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

On the other side, a few exhibitions in mostly small, privately owned galleries + some mentions in life-style magazines (written perhaps by people without art education) + one mural painting given to a hospital (the celebrities were of course present not because of the mural, not because of the painter, but because of the inauguration of the hospital) + one or two artefacts presented as a part of collective exhibitions in serious galleries - this does not constitute notability in the world of artists. Now she seems to be completely forgotten outside of Wikipedia, in the phase of life, when most artists are at the heights of their activity. In WP:BIO, the criteria for inclusion are much more strict: "Painters ... whose work is widely recognized (for better or worse) and likely to become a part of the enduring historical record of that field."--Ioannes Pragensis 19:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So you agree she's not a "hoax or an unknown amateur artist", which was why you made the AfD in the first place. Now it's a matter of judgement as to how notable or otherwise. Obviously not top rank, but probably has as much presence in the art world as, for example, many bands do in the music world for whom articles are retained. She has had shows in private and public spaces, and she has been covered in the press including the New York Times (Shown, John; “Veronica Put Theater on Canvas”, New York Times, October, 1986). Check out the Newspapers section of the article. This seems to me to be sufficient verifiable coverage in the public domain to merit retaining this article. Tyrenius 21:17, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I still think that it is both: A hoax because it depicts her as an important artist (which is clearly not the case); and perhaps an amateur artist who was a member of the Mexican high society 15 years ago but earned few critical acclaim and is forgotten today. - The nawspapers cited in the article are not independent critical studes but just normal newspapers. Wikipedia should reflect importance of its subjects, not generate it.--Ioannes Pragensis 21:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
She had a solo show at the Museo de Arte Moderno, Mexico City. This is the Mexican national museum with "the best permanent exhibition of painters and sculptors from the modern Mexican art movement. It also features some of the most important temporary exhibitions of national and international modern art in the world."[33] — hardly a "small, privately owned gallery" The article makes no claim of any "importance" specifically. It just states the facts of where she has had exhibitions and where she has been mentioned in print. A "hoax" is when something is fictitious, which this is clearly not. An "amateur" artist is not someone who has a solo show in a national museum or who exhibits in professional (i.e. by definition "private") galleries. Normal newspapers, as you put it, are acceptable sources to verify the notability of a person. It is not our job to evaluate whether she is a good, bad or indifferent artist quality-wise. Tyrenius 21:49, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I wrote much of this article based on her information on her website. The article has a neutral view and based on facts presented from several articles/photographs from her official website. Tyrenius has been really helpful in making sure this article is wikipedia formatted correctly and factful. With Veronica being in the National Museum of Mexico in 1986 and her teacher was Rufino Tamayo (one of the most famous painters of Mexico) and Jean Dubuffet, one cannot simply forget Ms. Ruiz de Velasco. Also, the Director of Mexico Art has confirmed this in a letter. Check out Letter from Bellas Artes Director and Director of the Modern Art Museum In terms of importance, I concluded from her website that if the owner of two professional hockey team has bought her art for a substantial price, then she might be notable. Also, in the 80's she had a show at the Museum of Modern Art in Mexico. In the late 90's she had a show at the Irving Art Center. [34] The Irving Art Center is a Museum for Contemporary Artist. This was also a solo exhibition and cannot be forgotten. Also, she was chosen by the Dallas Museum of Art for art charity. This is also a notable National institution. They do not ask anyone for art charity. I am all for deleted this if someone could simply remove the fact that Veronica has been in several National Museums. Also her teachers were Rufino Tamayo and Jean Dubuffet, and she has sold paintings at a notable price. Also, in terms of her mural at the ABC Hospital. It seems that the ABC Hospital in Mexico City is a world class private hospital built in 1954. Therefore, Prince Charles and the US Ambassador did not show up to this hospital to inaugurate the hospital, but most likely to inaugurate her mural. There are pictures on her website. Please check out this website [35] for more information on the hospital. Also, she completed a mural for the Hamon Building at Southwest Medical Center which is a world renowned facility. Nancy Hamon is a very notable individual. It would seem that if Mrs. Hamon had issues with the notability of Veronica, why did she ask her to create a mural for her building?

The problem is that with a solo show at the The Museo de Arte Moderno and being included in the museum's twenty-five year celebration book, she is already part of the enduring historical record.Tyrenius 00:27, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
My problem with this is that the only source for all this seems to be Kmowery, whose links in the Ruiz de Velasco article are generally not reliable, to put it mildly. Moreover, he/she tries to advertise Ruiz de Velasco with all possible means - study the list of his/her contributions. - The mentioned Ruiz de Velasco exhibition should have been 20 years ago, when Ruiz de Velasco allegedly studied painting - so perhaps a student exhibition. --Ioannes Pragensis 05:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually try to review her website with scanned articles and photographs. I have tried to list her on other pages according to her categories and wikipedia guidelines. Tyrenius has been helping make sure that the listings are factual. He has edited several articles. If you see something that she should not be listed under let me know. Kmowery
Kmowery isn't the only source. Kmowery is the only author (of the article). There are plenty of sources given, and backed up by scans/photos if you follow the links in my first statement above. Her name is prominently shown in a photo of the Museo de Arte Moderno for example. The (external) links are reliable—they all link to what they state and are relevant to items mentioned in the text e.g. a particular museum. I think what you mean is that they don't necessarily show an artist mention at that museum, so they don't all need to be there. I have transformed some into a "see also" section. Re. "advertising", there is an explanation on User talk:Kmowery: Veronica Ruiz de Velasco was my first article. However, I tried to base it on fact and her information she provides on her website. I did not know that it is not good to put her in many different locations in Wikipedia. My bad. I thought you were suppose to add her to all the categories listed in her article. Let us AGF. Anyway, that's not a reason to delete the article—it's a reason to remove the mentions from excessive other pages. Also, artists do sometimes get prominent shows while they're still studying, so that's not problematic.Tyrenius 09:39, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

CineMasters Studios[edit]

Non notable "studios" and bordering on vanity. It "may grow in notability"[38] says the author of the article and founder of CM Studios. It *may* be an article to have in the future then. As for now, I don't think so -- Equendil 14:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vortex, take it easy. For starters, you are wrong about Wikipedia being a place to get known. This site's traffic isn't as good as MySpace. If you get a MySpace account in the "film" section I guarantee you about 200 hits a day and you get to add embeded video. It's the best promotion you could get besides getting to interact with other filmmakers than can help you in the future. This wikipedia BS gets only a quarter of the traffic you could achieve in MySpace. So don't sweat it.BrandNew21 03:30, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The trick to breaking into the industry though is to continue to make films, continue to show them at festivals, and to continue to network with as many other people as possible.

  • In order to properly determine for myself which way to fall on an afd, I need to be able to read the article, and be able to access resources in a language I am familiar in, and not rely second hand on another who speaks the language. I check myself on every afd and never just "per nom" without first doing my own due diligence. I am essentially precluded from doing so here as, I imagine, are most other editors. This article can be deleted based on that it is not English, and I have no basis for making a decision otherwise. I also imagine that collectively, editors on on the Serbian 'pedia are much better positioned to come to a measured debate than we are based on the same language/available resource problem. I am not saying we cannot do it here, just that there is no call for "nah"; in the absence of finding patent keep criteria, I cannot rely on my English resources for a reliable delete vote based on the merits of the subject article's notability. --Fuhghettaboutit 19:38, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment what if the show comes out and absolutely flops and is quickly cancelled, causing barely a notable ripple, or is pulled before coming out (which happens all the time). Can you imagine voting to delete this article upon the unfolding of those future events? If the answer to that is other than an unqualified negative, isn't a prospective article about the show all the more unencyclopedic as ill-advised speculation? --Fuhghettaboutit 22:51, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Why, yes, I can imagine voting to delete something which 20:20 hindsight has deemed non-notable; why not? For instance, I'm looking forward to the AfDs a year or two from now where a lot of pop culture fad articles become vulnerable, when people realize how desperately unencyclopedic many are.

Furry lifestyler[edit]

Please read this carefully. At first glance, this seems valid, but I assure you the topic matter of furries and furry fans is not my motivation for this nomination. I have a few, please react to these arguments in your votes:

1.Unverifiable-- (Wikipedia policy requires all articles be verifiable) Furries are very verifiable and notable, and they have their own description at several wikipedia pages, such as Furry fandom and others. I argue that any information on the term furry lifestyler is unverifiable: Zero hits on LexisNexis and Google News (news search engines with archives of two years) for "furry lifestyler" Zero hits on Jstor search

Now, there is a cited "source" that I could go into the rules about using self published articles, but it turns out I don't need to, because this essay on furry fandom does not use the term "furry lifestyle" or "furry lifestyler" once. How can it be a source for an article on the term if it doesn't use the term once?

I have called for and argued for verifiable sources on this page since this January.

2.Original Research- (Wikipedia policy requires that pages not be original research) No original research states "the only way to demonstrate that you are not doing original research is to cite reliable sources which provide information that is directly related to the topic of the article, and to adhere to what those sources say." Since are no sources, I don't think I need to argue this point too much. There is the self published essay, but it isn't "adhered to" since it's info is used to define a term it doesn't ever use, "furry lifestyler" or even "lifestyle." Use of published primary sources is okay, use of unpublished primary sources, forums or newsgroups before a reputable news agency has made light of them, is against policy. People who call themselves furry lifestylers have edited this page, however"policy prohibits expert editors from drawing on their personal and direct knowledge if such knowledge is unverifiable." And I believe I have established that this article is unverifiable.

3.Non-notable(which I know is a suggestion, not a policy for deletion)-- 366 hits on google for "furry lifestyler" in quotes. This page is, on close inspection, an attempt to describe and define posters to the furry lifestyler newsgroup. People on the talk page have described it as a sort of "everything else" newsgroup where furry fans did not discuss furry art, but other things. I can only speculate, since I have found no documentation or reliable definition of furry lifestylers. Whether or not it is a clearly defined term in real life that could have a coherent and true article written about it is questionable, but somewhat irrelevant since I believe I have proven such an article would be in violation of wikipedia policy on several points.Articles such as this are welcome at places like wikiinfo, but are put here because of the trust and popularity of wikipedia, which is of course based in the policies that are against this article. Lotusduck 15:42, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Question is not a merge without a redirect a delete? If it isn't a redirect, it will either remain as it is or be deleted. It appears that all of the content is original research and unverifiable, so I am pressed to question what could be merged.Lotusduck 16:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Please note that this is not a merge proposal, and that is how your justification is formatted. Lotusduck 18:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It would be a good idea if it were possible. The content from furry lifestyler would be removed as unverifiable according to policy, would it not? You could try adding the extra content about totemistic beliefs etcetera to Furry fandom and see if I'm wrong. Lotusduck 20:45, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This page is not the place for suggesting that wiki articles do not need verification. You can argue that at the policy page for verifiability. MTV is published, and usually reprints stuff from USA Today anyhow. Sources where furry fandom is relevant, like at E3 talk about it all the time. Lotusduck 21:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Our articles need verification of course, but you'd had lots to do if you would nominate everything for deletion that has not been in a pubilshed source yet. I'm just not sure if that's the right way. --Conti|✉ 21:46, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Policy says it's the right way to go. If you don't like wikipedia policies you don't have to contribute here. "Text that does not conform to all four policies is not allowed in the main namespace" and one of those policies is verifiability. Also, your chronology is off, a page should not be created and wait until it has been in a published source that can back up that content. That's after the fact justified original research. Another "not" entry, wikipedia is not a crystal ball. We are not meant to put up what we do not know is verifiable because we think some newspaper will back up our content or should, at some point in the future. So help me out here: What's your justification for a merge or keep? Lotusduck 22:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think there's a difference between mentioning something and having an article about something. And to be honest, I don't feel like removing everything that has no reference from any article I encounter. As per WP:V, I'm allowed to do just that. But there's also a thing called common sense (no references, by the way), I like to listen to that from time to time, too. --Conti|✉ 22:55, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Your citation from outside of fandom is a copy of an older version of this wikipedia article, as it says on the bottom. The rest are self published. Please read wikipedia guidelines for verifiability, and perhaps reconsider your judgement. Lotusduck 21:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Self published articles do not qualify as sources. Moreover, some of the links that y'all provided don't use the term furry lifestyler. The reason why furry lifestyle without quotes gets so many hits is because every day of the week a lifestyle column in a paper prints a story about "our furry friends the squirrels" or similar. Calling furry fandom a lifestyle is not evidence for the usage of the neologism "furry lifestyler". None of you have provided any suggestion that the article is not unverifiable through reputable sources, as I have said. Lotusduck 21:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
A Cleveland television news channel report is self-published? A Tennessee newspaper article is self-published? That's what those links are to, mainstream news articles. Either you didn't bother to read their provenance, or you are lying about accepting good citations. "The Tennessean" specifically uses the term "lifestyler", but you are trying to claim the articles don't say anything about them. "There is a distinction, they say, between the people who enjoy the costuming aspects of the culture and lifestylers, who incorporate their animals into their lives in a more spiritual way." I don't know how much clearer that can be. Or the Cleveland News 5 article title, "Group Celebrates 'Furry' Lifestyle". You are setting extraordinary criteria in order to dismiss the citations you asked for and probably did not expect to get. Despite your gymnastic denial that it's the furry lifestyle itself you're challenging, your resistance indicates otherwise. "The more he talked of his honor, the faster we counted our spoons." (Ralph Waldo Emerson) Coyoty 02:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So you feel that any source that does not use the word "furry lifestyler" directly next to one another, despite that last one in the Tennessean referring to "lifestyler" in the context of discussing "furry," as well as other similar references, is unqualified to be considered in this discussion? My apologies, but you're doing a very fine job of splitting hairs here. Editors have presented a large number of new references, including to mass media outlets, that quite obviously refer to the furry lifestyle. I'm certain the administrator who looks over this discussion when time comes to close it will consider those favourably. Tony Fox 00:01, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article nominated for deletion is not furry as a lifestyle choice(as is the article you mention), but the neologism "furry lifestyler" and some spurious definitions and qualifications on it. The article does not, as you say, refer to "lifestyler" but lifestyles. An article on womens' lifestyles would not justify a wikipedia entry on the term "Woman lifestyler." It happens to have some of the same words, or similar words to the article furry lifestyler, but does not validate any information therein. Your "large number of sources" is only that one article, and many self published websites, which are not allowed as sources as a matter of policy. See WP:V. But the article has not been deleted yet. If the claims in the article can be sourced, go to the article and source them. If there are mass media sources that differentiate a furry lifestyler from a furry fan, as the article purports, I'd like to see them. Lotusduck 00:52, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As for the Tennesean, on their webspace, the article mentioned does not currently exist, nor do any of the links included. There's no date on it, either.Lotusduck
The article is about furry as a lifestyle choice! This is going beyond desperation, IMO. This is the point in the court drama where the plaintiff totally loses it and judge declares he's seen enough. Coyoty 02:49, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The wiki article is about defining "furry lifestylers" as 25 different things, fans or fursuiters or people that don't want to be called fans or fursuiters. I'm hard pressed to think that the article is definitively, or clearly about anything at all. Nice personal attack on me though.Lotusduck 04:35, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Can you explain the difference between furry fandom and furry lifestyler? DyslexicEditor 03:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's analogous to the difference between Trek fandom and devoting one's life to Vulcan or Klingon philosphy and traditions. Or better yet, lifestylers are the furry equivalent of the Society for Creative Anachronism. Those examples are inexact, though, as a lifestyler may point out. It's more of a zen thing. Coyoty 04:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That still blurs the line, too. I don't think there's a trekkie lifestyler article, but I didn't try every possible spelling. DyslexicEditor 07:18, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not entirely true; the furry fandom is considerably more extensive a "hobby" than - for example - stamp collecting is. (A philatelist is unlikely to routinely dress up as their favorite stamp, for example.) In any case, the group is large and well-defined enough that it merits an encyclopedic treatment. Zetawoof(ζ) 10:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Convenience, most likely. I recently ran into a bunch of articles (Sabot, Kinetic energy penetrator, and Sub-caliber round), all of which used the same image (Obus_501556_fh000022.jpg) in their opening. That particular image just happens to be readily available. Zetawoof(ζ) 10:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
WikiFur is indeed designed for the cataloguing of furry-related topics which wouldn't be of particular interest to the general public. However, a general description of the furry fandom is definitely within the scope of Wikipedia. Zetawoof(ζ) 10:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
WikiFur is a last recourse for furry articles that would otherwise be deleted (though in this case we have our own already, so it would be merged). However, its existance should not be an excuse to go around deleting such articles, otherwise we are likely to become Wikipedia's furry dumping ground, where everything gets sent because "there is a place for it now, and it's not here". Please decide whether or not to delete this article based on its merits, then if you decide to we may have a use for the content before you actually do so.
Speaking more generally, Wikipedia has around 40 articles in Category:Furry, while WikiFur has close to 4000. I don't see Wikipedia's current level of detail as unreasonable for items related to a fandom that has over 20 years of history behind it and fields three annual conventions with over 1000 attendees. Just because this has gone largely unnoticed by most "reputable sources" doesn't make it irrelevant to Wikipedia's readers. GreenReaper 11:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Make that three really big (1000+ attendee) annual conventions, with a lot of smaller ones (Conifur, Feral, Califur, Oklacon, FurFright...) Zetawoof(ζ) 21:52, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No - very much no. The distinction is pretty obscure, but can be summarized thus: The otherkin community is more or less defined by a belief that one existed as some form of mythological creature in a previous life. The furry community is a bit more fuzzily defined, but can be generally lumped together as people who identify with animals to some degree or another. There's significant crossover between the two groups, but they are emphatically not identical. A person who believes they are the second coming of Dracula is probably not a furry, and a person who likes to draw anthropomorphic foxes isn't necessarily an otherkin. That all being said, though, I still find the distinction between the furry fandom as a whole and the concept of the furry lifestyler unnecessarily narrow; as such, my vote to merge stands. Zetawoof(ζ) 10:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Er, did you actually read any of the discourse above, where several of us have basically knocked off the 'verifiability' concerns expressed by the nominator, including a complete rebuild of the article? Tony Fox 21:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
You're welcome. Zetawoof(ζ) 19:58, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lauren Branning[edit]

Keep - she is not a "proposed" character, it has been confirmed that she will appear in the show. At WP:WPEE we take great pride in our articles relating to EastEnders, and have many articles for upcoming characters, who are related to current events. This character will be related to existing characters, which on it's own is a point of interest. The article is also linked to from 14 other articles, proving its notability. This should not be deleted, and, to be frank, I think the nominator is wasting their time, as I'm sure my fellow participants in WP:WPEE will also vote to keep this article going. Trampikey 16:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - I think the point centres on the fact that not every single character in the history of a TV show deserves a WP article; and whether or not this particular character will go on to become a notable enough character surely cannot be established until they have been on the show for a certain amount of time. I don't really have a vote to make either way, though, although I would perhaps suggest an appropriate redirect (either to the main EE article or, if there is one, an article about minor characters) that can be made into a full article should the character later be deemed important enough. Seb Patrick 16:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Flutter Frisbee, Guts frisbee, and Flutterguts[edit]

This is some sort of variation on Frisbee. A google search [54] revealed only 31 hits, most of which were from sites that mirror our content in one way or another. I don't see any reliable sources or anything that establishes notability. --Hetar 17:13, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


OK here... move Guts Frisbee to Team Guts, a more established name for the game discussed in the article; delete Flutterguts as a failed attempt at disambiguation; merge Flutter Frisbee into Team Guts under a subheading of "Variants of Team Guts". What does the Wham-O site say about these? That's how I learned about Team Guts decades ago: literature from Wham-O. B.Wind 03:32, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]


I have never heard the name Team Guts, and can find no reference to that name on the World Flying Disk Federation website, or any other for that matter. It also fails to accurately describe it, as the WFDF rules for guts allow 1-5 players per side [61]. It would be better to alter the article to make note of the variable number of players than to create separate articles just to make a distinction based on the number of players. Also, Wham-O currently has no information on guts that I could find, and it's publications are not as authorative as the WFDF. --Superflyguy 23:21, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm going to go ahead and fix the number of players in the Guts Frisbee article, then move Flutter Frisbee to Flutterguts and mark it as a possible merge to a subsection of Guts Frisbee, and we'll go frum there.--Superflyguy 1:46, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Article is original research. No sources are given for majority of claims.

Amir Tofangsazan[edit]

Prod disupted on talk page. This is a non-notable "meme" (I counted 12 Google hits) centered around a buyer's revenge story. While some of these stories achieve sufficient notability by virtue of their creativity and execution (i.e., "P-P-P-Powerbook" and "scam the 411 scammer" stories), there's nothing particularly notable about this one; in fact, it's little more than an attack of the seller via dissemination of personal information. It seems to be an attempt to use Wikipedia to further promote a short-lived blog subject that is losing steam. OhNoitsJamieTalk 18:47, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just one last point - I just tried entering the search words Amir, laptop and eBay. This got almost 25,000 hits, and from this entry you can see how well represented this story is on the internet. Blaise Joshua 21:18, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from nominator I'm not against adjournment, given that the story appears to be receiving much more media attention than I initially thought. While I'm against this sort of thing in principle (we're only getting one side of the story, and the seller has been "convicted" without a trial), I can't deny the notability. OhNoitsJamieTalk 16:51, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Well, I've been screwed both ways on eBay; by unscrupulous sellers and surprisingly by a buyer (who filed bogus complaints against me to try to weasel out of paying for items that UPS tracking said were delivered; fortunately, I prevailed in that one, but it was a huge pain). On the other hand, I think the P-P-P-Powerbook story is great, though in that one it's undeniable that a scam was going on. This case is a little different because it's not entirely clear if there was a scam going on; it may be that the laptop was damaged (or just died) in transit, and the seller was slow to respond to the complaint. Brian Peppers is an example of a precedent where the subject was notable yet ultimately Jimbo kaboshed the article for other reasons (at least temporarily). OhNoitsJamieTalk 17:34, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

keep it


Perhaps the article needs updating, namely, by naming the disgruntled buyer, Thomas Sawyer, 23, Exeter. http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/news/article.html?in_article_id=409510&in_page_id=2

This article should be kept. This has been an internet phenomenon. It would be a bit like removing an article about the launch of the Ipod. The subject matter is of less importance than the event itself in my opinion... Keep it.

More parts of DCUK are under construction, including www.swuk.org, www.dotcartoon.com(pending) so we are definatly not just based on invisionfree, i assume you didnt take proper care when visiting our community.

Skull and Bones historical connections[edit]

As per Kaldari's prod:

  1. The length of this article (approx. 250 kb) is unacceptable. This is an encyclopedia article, not a book.
  2. The quoted texts are much too long; as such, they may not fall under fair use. Only brief quotes from copyrighted sources may be used without permission.
  3. The writing style of the entire article is inappropriate. The whole thing is filled with innuendo, speculations, uncited accusations, and gossip.
  4. Finally, and most importantly, virtually nothing is cited. The article makes a number of extraordinary claims about the involvement of the Skull and Bones group in drug dealing, but there are only 20 citations in the entire article, most of which are for auxiliary points. To put that in perspective, that's about one citation for each 12 kilobytes of text.

I do believe that there may be some encyclopedic content which can be discussed here, if appropriate sources can be found, but this wall of text isn't it. Delete. Zetawoof(ζ) 20:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep but rewrite and shorten. The subject matter is very notable and would make for an interesting article. However the present article violates NPOV, probably NOR as well, and I'd also check closely to make sure it isn't copyvio, too. But the purpose of AFD is to vote on whether articles should be deleted due to worthiness of content, and IMO that isn't the case here.

Dimension Studios[edit]

Contested prod. Prod reason was "blatant advertising." I agree, delete. Mangojuicetalk 20:26, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't delete Its not advertisement, theirs pleanty of information given
  • Don't delete. The studio is exceptional in the fact that it offers level design for video games upon requests from individual customers, not game companies as all other studios do. In doing so the studio is pioneering this area of video game market. No other studio takes requests from average players to provide them with what they desire. The article's purpose isn't to advertise the studio but to rather describe the new trend in video game development that the appearance of this studio shows. With the modern technology, level design becomes such an accessible tool that it can now be done on a smaller, individual scale rather than through mass-produced video games as it was before. From the previous suggestions on deletion I see that this idea wasn't expressed clearly enough in the article therefore it will be edited, NOT deleted.

Bertha Fox-Dominguez[edit]

Article describes a non-notable author with No web hits. Also, this article is full of fake, and and possibly offensive book titles and play titles such as "Yoohoo Shelia", "A Warm Lesbian Summer Night" and "Living With Herpes." Also, there is a sentence of pure vanity that goes, "She married true crime author Pier Dominguez on March 9, 2003. He is a student at NYU film school and this has caused stress to their relationship, but they are still hanging in there after 3 beautiful years!" Thetruthbelow (talk) 21:02, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

KEEP--I know Bertha personally and she did write those plays and the self help book is a big hit locally, and also she is married to a famous author and is a feminist activist at Duke University and has been intimately involved with the rape scandal there. You might not like the way the article was written, yes, I agree, but modify.

This is a non-notable student club sport. UCLA's men's basketball team doesn't even have it's own stand-alone article and they have a very storied history. Also vanity, the author is one of the athletes mentioned in the article. Metros232 21:57, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Personally, I think the UCLA men's b-ball team should have its own page, as it's probably the most storied team in the history of college sports.

I am also nominating 240 (number) — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Both created by Jesterjester, ((prod))'d by me, deprod'd by Cfred, speedy redirected to 200 (number) by me, and edited primarily by Anton Mravcek — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:28, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. Let the record show that Anton Mravcek has been an upstanding editor of the Slovenian Wikipedia for more than a year, receiving two awards. Jesterjester, on the other hand, has been with the English Wikipedia less than a month, and has not earned half as much as respect as Anton. Robert Happelberg 23:34, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I accept your analysis, and would defer to Anton in some respects. But I still think that these border on the limits of notability, if not below. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 00:17, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • For both: Merge and redirect. --LambiamTalk 22:52, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep both. this are very intersting numbers, we're not talking about some randonmly chosen integer like 10061092961. Arthur's just mad his prod "non-notable integer" was quickly proven wrong. 230 and 240 are both very notable integers. Numerao 23:04, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Just mad? My impression is he's always mad :). Furthermore, 10061092961 has many more interesting properties than 230 and 240 combined. Maybe I'll write an article about it after I've done all smaller interesting numbers. --LambiamTalk 23:23, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete to conform with WP:NUM. It's arbitrary and it's not policy, but I suppose there has the be a limit. Not sure I understand the reasoning for redirecting to 200, though. ScottW 00:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redirect per Arthur's reasoning below. ScottW 16:50, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep both. Split the 200 (number) article into 10 articles, one for each group of 10 in the range from 200-299. The 230 (number) article should cover the range 230-239 and the 240 (number) should cover the range 240-249. Georgia guy 13:15, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think htis is a good idea. Numerao 23:09, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep both. The fact that the same person who proposed deletion is the one who nominated for deletion is very bad form, in my opinion. If it was up to me this whole thing would be dismissed on those grounds alone. Robert Happelberg 16:35, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment Why is it a problem that the person adding the prod tag also brought it here? Wikipedia:Proposed_deletion is clear that this is the procedure to follow. From the Conflicts section "Contested deletions: If anyone, including the article's creator, removes Template:Prod from an article for any reason, do not put it back. If you still believe the article needs to be deleted, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion." ScottW 16:47, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • If i undertand the prod template correctly, its to be used by people who think their might be a need to delete but aren't sure. If your sure it needs to be deleted, you should say so from the get-go. Thats what i think bout that. Numerao 20:52, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • No, the prod tag is for deletions that you feel are uncontroversial. Any deletion that may be contested or that you are unsure of goes to AfD. This is why so many things in AfD are articles which are contested prods. ScottW 21:17, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
        • Therefore if your ((prod)) turns out to be controversial, you should bring it to AfD. Septentrionalis 18:23, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep 230. Its relation to space groups makes it a very interesting number in my book. I reserve the right to vote on 240 later this week. PrimeFan 22:21, 31 May 2006 (UTC) P.S. I'd be a lot more concerned about articles on numbers like 12345678987654321 (number) which have nothing interesting about them besides being pandigital in one base.[reply]

It's debatable what "non-trivial" is. Ramanujan would've probably been unmoved by the fact that (1 + 7 + 2 + 9)|1729, while Kaprekar might have not cared that 12^3 + 1^3 = 10^3 + 9^3 = 1729. Anton Mravcek 20:47, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment The only reason I created 230, 240, and 270 is because they were red links on the list of numbers page. Jesterjester 03:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Thanks for explaining; but then you misunderstood the purpose of the list. Those articles are intended to be lists of all interesting properties of the whole decade, as 300 (number) is of the whole hundred. It may be best to merge all of these into 200 (number). Septentrionalis 18:08, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge and redirect per Bryan. The speedy delete comments seem nonsensical to me as well. -- Docether 18:05, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Antiwikipedia[edit]

Apparently nn website, does not appear to meet WP:WEB criteria. -- Karada 23:01, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per nom. Though they seem to be trying to knock at this site. (sarcastic hypothetical coming up) If we delete this, do they win? Yanksox 23:08, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete: Currently their URL redirects to http://www.antiwikipedia.com/antiwiki/. Do we have an article on that website that this might be mentioned under? As of right now the subject is hardly worthy of article - its way too new, has no reliable sources, the list goes on and on. It's very likely that at some point it will become notable just by nature of its association with Wikipedia (or someone with a little more vision will come along and do something significant with the domain name) but until then, it doesn't really belong here. --Hetar 23:09, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, I wrote the article since I expected wikipedia to have some info on it's anti site. User Yanksox is right, if you choose to delete the article, pretty much they win since they support in some of their own articles the non-sensical deletion and artwork in wikipedia. Go ahead, delete it, that's what they want. We should choose to at least have some information on them than rather nothing.BrandNew21 23:14, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment If it had any other name, this site would be an automatic delete based on its obscurity. The rules should still apply, so Delete. Fan1967 01:12, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:WEB. Also, the host site currently has no Alexa rank. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:24, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't care about winning Internet battles and such; this is just a poor man's Uncyclopedia. Danny Lilithborne 00:08, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • What if they threw a feud and nobody came? Delete. The only claim to any sort of notability whatsoever seems to be, in essence, "It isn't Wikipedia". Lots of sites are not Wikipedia; if that counted for anything we could just toss WP:WEB entirely. —Zero Gravitas 00:23, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nn. --Arnzy (whats up?) 00:46, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete the pretender. "not meant to actually be any source of knowledge or reference" is clear aspiration of WP. Pavel Vozenilek 02:13, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I started the site and you people who are calling for its deletions just prove that www.antiwikipedia.com is much too important to be on your site of techno-ignorance. I have no idea who made a Wikipedia page for it but it provided my amusement for the evening. The Antiwiki, while containing some criticism of the Wikipedia, is here to open all wisdom and technology to everyone on the planet. It is not meant to be a nonsense site like Uncyclopedia. It is meant to end history by creating a post-Hegelian dialetic. Do you know what this means? Maybe you should actually read Hegel instead of the Wikipedia article on Hegel. Why is it called Antiwikipedia? Because your mindless deleting of my articles started the idea of creating a site to aggregate all wisdom instead of creating a battleground to argue over some insane concept like 'NPOV'. There is no war because we have already won. Plus we'll get a post on Wikitruth perhaps? =) Much love, hugs, kisses, and check out the Not-To-Do List on the site.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.27.93 (talk • contribs)
    • Comment People who use "post-"anything in serious debates should shampoo my crotch. Danny Lilithborne 20:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Article was created by BrandNew21 (talk · contribs), whose third edit was made to 72.229.107.247 (talk · contribs). Seems like the two are synonymous. --Ted 18:06, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Here's a comment from a mirror of this article on their website:
Aparently someone did an article about us here, almost automatically some idiot proposed to delete it. I love it. It shows how authoritarian that fucking site is and how stupid all of them are by even debating if they should include us in their beloved articles. I'm for deletion of not only our article, but all articles.
So yeah, I guess the short answer is that they win. Cool. Delete without prejudice. The Disco King 19:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the comments coming every one, this will make for a hilarious article on the AW.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.27.93 (talk • contribs)
  • Delete By striking this down it will become more powerful than you can ever imagine. I voted for this if only to see it deleted to prove their point.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.27.93 (talk • contribs)
Comment both of the above comments are from the "creator", as he claims in a previous votes, of Anti-wikipedia. Thetruthbelow (talk) 06:26, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:WEB. Stifle (talk) 11:25, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • How has this not been deleted yet? What happened to the arbitrary immediate deletions we know and love on here? Sorry about the downtime, my host was upgrading the ODBC drivers. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.124.27.93 (talk • contribs)

Eragon Live[edit]

Another webpage for one of the thousands of text-based games available. This one claims to have an active player base of around 500, which is pretty small. Their website has an Alexa rank of 3,259,447 and a Google search [78] gives only 51 results. As of last week they were ranked 192 at Top Web Games (which means they had a total of 4 votes). Because of a complete lack of reliable sources and notability, I am recommending delete. --Hetar 23:03, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Bear factory[edit]

Link to small commercial venture, not notable, little more than an advertisement or directory listing. Marysunshine 23:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terminology and Slang of the Imperial Guard (Warhammer 40,000)[edit]

A direct (although slightly reshuffled) word-for-word copy of Page 62 of the most recent Codex: Imperail Guard (Chambers, Andy (2003). Warhammer 40,000 Codex: Imperial Guard (4th Edition ed.). Nottingham: Games Workshop. ISBN 1841544108. ((cite book)): |edition= has extra text (help); Unknown parameter |coauthors= ignored (|author= suggested) (help)). Also, a list of slang and terminology, which is inadvised per WP:NOT a dictionary. -- saberwyn 23:20, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

An Apology[edit]

This is from sqrlaway. Really sorry for all the mess- i went in and deleted the article. I feel like a real jerk right now. Apologies all around, I should have thought about what I was doing. Sqrlaway 01:13, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Amazing Hannigans[edit]

Not sure if this television show is actually happening. Disney's own site doesn't have any information of it. The little information that is on this article is a copy of the single line in the IMDB profile. Metros232 23:34, 30 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - it appears to be a real show that is in pre-production - [80], [81] BigDT 01:10, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice if it ever actually gets made. Also, current content is a possible copyvio (almost word-for-word copied from the TV.com article). — AKADriver ☎ 19:40, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, almost empty article and few sources. Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Recreate if and when it's showing on a national network. Stifle (talk) 11:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

POST error beep[edit]

Delete. There is no need to split this topic from the Power-on self-test article, and there's nothing left to merge. Vossanova o< 00:59, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - It may be a worthwhile topic, I suppose - listing what the different beeps can mean - but as it is, there is nothing there and hasn't been for a while. BigDT 01:04, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The main "Power-on self-test" article seems to have more info about beeps than "POST error beep", so nothing to merge. — TheKMantalk 06:38, 31 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
