Delete. The article is unecessary; it replicates info at Commonwealth realm. It is founded on a nuance between 'realm' and 'monarchy' which serves no useful purpose. It is not user friendly. The Windsor monarchy is already treated as multiple monarchies in other articles, such as Commonwealth realm.--Gazzster (talk) 08:45, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Per the many comments above.--UpDown (talk) 17:59, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This page was a really bad idea to begin with. It serves no useful purpose whatsoever to a reader seeking knowledge in an encylcopedia, whereas it is altogether redundant from that viewpoint. It was created mostly if not solely to help quiet a dispute among editors, about the dablink used on the articles on the "national monarchies" of the Commonwealth realms. I still can scarcely believe that this silly redundant page was created just because people could not otherwise agree on line in a dablink.
If the article is deleted, some discussions from its talkpage will need preserving because they bear on other articles. Transferring them to Talk:Commonwealth realm seems a sensible way to do that. (I warned against holding omnibus discussion here, at the time, for exactly this reason.) -- Lonewolf BC (talk) 00:24, 26 November 2007

Delete - This topic is currently being covered here, Kenny's deaths, and Kenny McCormick#Deaths. I love South Park as much as the next person, but this is fancruft at it's worst. I'm sure the running gag of Kenny's death is notable in popular culture, but this potential notabilty is not established anywhere on Wikipedia, despite having two articles and a section devoted to it. It is stated at WP:FICTION that articles should be kept "if the subject has received substantial coverage in reliable secondary sources and this coverage is explicitly referenced in the deletion discussion or is used to add real-world content to the article". Wikipedia is not here to list jokes; in order to stay it must establish real-world significance and be reliably sourced. That said, it seems a shame to lose all this information, so it might be a good idea to transwiki the article to the South Park Wiki. Kenny's deaths may be a notable aspect of South Park, but here on Wikipedia we should examine how the joke was created and it's influence on pop culture, not simply listing every variation of it. I reccommend that this article be deleted, that Kenny's deaths be redirected to Kenny McCormick#Deaths, and then the South Park Wikiproject work to find sources examining the topic and include them there. Quality is more important than quantity, and three articles full of in-universe information and original research is not encyclopedic. Paul 730 00:41, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep or merge with Kenny's death, as suggested last time, and again as it is a noticeable/controversial aspect of a popular, multi-season show (I recall commercials even touting how "Kenny dies" on South Park) that has been converted into a film and video games (even a pinball game!). Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 07:25, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- None of that notability is established on any of the three articles. It's all in-universe stuff about whether Stan and the others are aware of him dying and stuff. Even if reliable sources could back up what you say (and I'm sure they could), please explain why all that deserves one or more individual article. Let's be honest, Kenny doesn't have a whole lot of characterization besides that joke, there's no reason why his deaths can't be covered in his own article alone. Paul 730 07:34, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - The list and prose article on his deaths are a treasure-trove of well-organized, verifiable information that clearly some effort was put into in making. It is the most notable aspect of a recognizable character and one of the famous running gags of a popular show. If this stuff does exist on a South Park wiki that can be linked to from the main article, then that's cool, but it would be a shame to lose it and discourage those who contributed to these articles from editing by having it totally removed. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 07:37, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - I do think the list should be transwikied rather than lost completely, since it's reasonably well-presented information that is of interest to South Park fans. However, Wikipedia does not exist for fans; information should have real world context and, while Kenny's deaths are notable in pop culture, we don't need a list of them to prove that point, we need secondary sources discussing them. We can make the point that he dies a lot without a list - Jason Voorhees is notable for killing people, but that doesn't mean we need a list of all the people he's killed. Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles, you describe these articles as a "treasure-trove of well-organized, verifiable information". Sorry, but I disagree. The list is unneccessary in-universe detail with no real-world context, the prose article consists entirely of original research and uncited material. These articles, along with the character article and the episode pages, all repeat themselves endlessly, and none of them establish any notability at all. As for deleting material discouraging the editors who created it... sorry, but we can't keep stuff that violates policy just to avoid hurting someone's feelings. Like I said, we can transwiki it and then possibly link to that wiki from the Kenny article. Paul 730 08:06, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - It really is put together nicely and I would hate for us to turn fans of the show away from Wikipedia. When I began editing, I was only interested in a few specific articles, but over the past year, I have worked to improved many different unique articles that over a year ago I would have never thought I would be improving. Being dismisses of fans could lead us down a slippery slope as editors who come for good articles like this one could over time help out in other areas, too. But again, this particular article concerns a central plot element of easily one of the most controversial cartoons of all time, which is in part controvsersial because of such content and there's a real research value to understanding the specifics. After all, wasn't South Park's violence even addressed in Bowling for Columbine? Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 17:28, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        A nice structure doesn't warrant keeping an article on Wikipedia at all. We should not bend the rules to cater to the fans -- there are many other excellent resources for them around the Internet, and Wikipedia's stance on fictional topics is to provide real-world context about them. If anything, the transwiki of this list followed by an external link to the off-Wikipedia list would reinforce Wikipedia's encyclopedic content. We should instead educate South Park fans on how they can contribute relevant content to Wikipedia -- it takes more steps than just avidly watching the show and being familiar with pop culture, but it's completely possible. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:36, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I hope everyone agrees that Kenny's deaths are a notable subject (if not, you could for example see here). This list would have been perfectly suitable for the Kenny's deaths article, but isn't in that article because that would make the article become too long. Therefore, I don't see why it should be anything wrong with having a separate article for the list. Lists such as this one should be seen as parts of the parent article, and the only question we need to ask in this case is: will Wikipedia's coverage of the subject (the 'kill Kenny' gag on South Park) be better or worse without this list? The answer is, it would become worse. It's much easier and user-friendly writing in an article that Kenny died in almost every episode before 2001 if we also have a list showing that he did. People doing research on South Park (for example on the violence on the show) might use this list as a good resource as well. This list is not indiscriminate (it is limited to official South Park media), it is not a collection of loosely related information (South Park episodes are of course closely related), it can not be replaced by a category (Category:South Park episodes in which Kenny dies? no.), and it is not just a list (it doesn't just list which episodes Kenny dies in, but also how he dies, and relevant notes - there should have been more of those).96T (talk) 19:03, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - Since there's been a few votes for Merge into the Kenny's deaths article, I should probably mention that I've just proposed that article to be merged into Kenny McCormick. I don't see any reason for that article to exist either, since it doesn't establish any notability. Paul 730 11:40, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per Paul's thorough argument. I don't see how merging is a possibility because without any of these deaths explored by secondary sources, we'd have to subjectively choose which items to merge. I think it's best to transwiki this list and encourage real-world context behind this trend. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 23:28, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - I cannot see a reason for this when it's covered on two other articles. I don't see a reason to merge because you cannot merge the entire list, it's far too large, and as Erik pointed out, it would take a lot of secondary sources to determine which ones were notable enough to include, otherwise you'd be picking whatever you thought was good enough without actually being of any authority to do so. BIGNOLE (Contact me) 03:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Notable. I think we're starting to overdo the fancruft/listcruft stuff. Just because something pop culture doesn't make it any less worthy of inclusion. Rocket000 (talk) 05:03, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Saying "it's notable" means nothing if you can't establish that notability with sources, which none of these articles do. Also, your argument works both ways - something isn't worthless because it's pop culture, but that doesn't entitle it to three articles either. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Paul 730 05:14, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - I'm pretty sure most people agree that it's notable (look at the comments above, even the deletes), I don't feel the need to prove it. I know my argument works both ways, that's why it's a good argument. We got to think more neutral about pop culture. Think of it as instead of watching Comedy Central, you're reading about it in a history book, and vice-versa. It seems anything pop culture receives extra (or undue) attention. I never see things like List of AAR reporting marks: P, List of people on stamps of Sri Lanka, List of baseball jargon (0-9), or List of zoo associations get labeled listcruft. All totally unreferenced, barely any context, no sign of notability, etc. It's only when it comes to pop culture. Just take a look through Special:Allpages/List of sometime, you'll be amazed at what you'll find. But for some reason it's always the lists people actually want, that people actual read, that get nominated. I'm not saying we should definitly have this specific list. Whatever the consensus is, I'm fine with. I was just voicing my opinion. Rocket000 (talk) 05:50, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - You're perfectly entitled to your opinion, but "other stuff exists" isn't a good a reason to keep something. As has been stated above by several editors, including myself, Kenny's deaths probably are notable in theory, but that doesn't mean they need their own article or list. A bunch of editors saying the joke is notable isn't helpful unless we have sources to prove it. Unless Kenny's deaths are individually notable, they don't warrant mentioning. If, for example, a certain death ellicited controversy in the media, then it would certainly warrant mentioning. But if not, then it's just another joke on another TV series, and doesn't deserve it's own article. The joke itself can be covered without listing every instance of it. And just because people like it or find it useful does not mean it deserves a separate article or list. Paul 730 06:07, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I wasn't suggesting this article should be keep because "other stuff exists". I mentioned that stuff to help explain to you my point. How pop culture gets special attention. It had nothing to do with keeping/deleting this article. I never suggested each individual death is notable. If they were then they should each have an article. But they're not, that's why a list is appropriate. I'm sorry, but you're totally misinterpreting what I'm saying. Rocket000 (talk) 06:29, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
        Can I suggest perceiving Wikipedia in a different light? Try to see pop culture from a historical perspective. Every generation, there is a staggering amount of information procured by the media. The threshold for inclusion on Wikipedia is verifiability, which is determined by reliable sources. While I am all for exploring the cultural impact of Kenny's all-too-frequent deaths, this list is merely a primary-source compilation that does not serve to enhance this particular pop culture notion. There are many different details that could be compiled under a certain fictional topic or an umbrella of fictional topics -- every surgery in medical TV series, every backstab in soap operas, etc. Such details are meaningless if they are not enhanced with real-world context. This is essentially a compilation of plot detail, void of secondary sources. It would be more beneficial to Wikipedia if the topic of Kenny's deaths was fleshed out with information from secondary sources. —Erik (talk • contrib) - 15:32, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Dude, there's a copy of this article on Answers.com [1], even though the article has yet to be edited. If the article is deleted, I should just copy from the Answers.com article (and if I didn't give a source, it would plagerize the article). However, I really don't want anything to be deleted, and I'm a high-functioning autistic. I do have one question though, would one person consider merging the article with this article? ~~LDEJRuff~~ (talk) 13:43, 28 November 2007 (EDT)

The result was I had a strong urge to follow the opinion delete Just as booking means many different things, there is no such single thing as "e-booking" beyond dictionary definition. A good decision would be to have a disambig page, similar to Booking. Alas, in wikipedia there is close to none possible disambig targets which use this word. As I guess other admins could not know what to do either, since this page sits unclosed so long. However after re-reading this article several times and googling a bit I see that the "not-widely-known government reservation system" is a UK gov't initiative to push for such reservation systems, and as such it is certainly notable, verifiable, and it seems has some verifiable results. Therefore I am closing it as keep and furter processing the content as I see fit (see yourselves in 5-10 minutes) . `'Míkka >t 05:30, 3 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Ebooking[edit]

AfDs for this article:

1. Booking things over the internet in general, e.g. airlines and hotels.
2. A specific type of not-widely-known government reservation system.

comment - thanks for relisting this. There's no doubt "ebooking" or "e-booking" is a somewhat common term. Just that the two articles that Wiki had on these addressed somewhat isolated uses of the term.

speedy keep as deprodder: it's a lake! It can be seen on the maps this, and the Norwegian article, links to when you click on the coordinates. It is actually no small lake in a Norwegian context. I will strongly claim this kind of item is supposed to be in an encyclopedia, especially an encyclopedia without lack of space. I noticed it is a stub, and so is the article on the Norwegian Wikipedia it is taken from, but there is no doubt of the items existence- it is still a lake. When cities and villages are acceptable, regardless of size, I think a lake should be here. I have noted the general outcomes seems to be "Major geographical features such as lakes, rivers, mountains, etc., are acceptable"- of course, this does not give much hint of size, but I personally think for an encyclopedia everything qualifying as a lake should be automatically notable, ie at least everything over 0.5 km² should be automatically notable for a Norwegian lake, as that's whats generally known as a lake in Norway. Greswik (talk) 16:08, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Again, there are over 450,000 lakes in Norway. There is no reason why this one is notable at all. The article has no information other than where it is and the size. While some of what you wrote is true, the lake, at 3.9 km2, it not a "major geographical feature." For heaven's sake, the Norwegian article has no information other than size and location either! And still no references or links! Delete. Reywas92^Talk 20:46, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Most of these 450,000 lakes (and I am not sure what that number really means, how do you count lakes?) are probably not worth separate articles (and I would guess most of them don't have names either). However, the lake in question here has some economic significance since it is one of the major reservoirs for hydroelectric production in the area, per this article which lists it as the second largest reservoir for the local power company (just after Spjodevatnet), with a capacity of 20 million cubic metres. It also has some recreative activity [7]. As for the notability of the subject, due to the economic significance, I would call this one comparable to Lake Wingra which is half the size of Nodlandsvatnet. However the article is very brief. Expanding the Eigersund article with geographical information about the lakes, and merging this article with that might be the best option. Outright deletion would remove information on what is a fairly large geographic feature, and I don't support that. Sjakkalle (Check!) 13:27, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as geographical location per above. The standard at List of lakes in Norway is arbitrary and has nothing to do with Wikipedia guidelines, really, so it doesn't prevail over WP:AFDP per what Greswik said.

Keep as a geographic feature -- Whpq (talk) 22:06, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- That is not a valid arguement. The new links above might warrant notability, but with 450,000+ lakes in Norway alone and millions more worldwide, and millions of other features, notability is not inherent. Reywas92^Talk 22:46, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

As said above, one of 450,000 lakes is not a major geographical feature, even if it is big enough to recreate and use for energy. I would accept a merge if possible. if this passes, I may AfD some of the even smaller, less useful lakes together. Reywas92^Talk 01:55, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The apparent source for this information doesn't mention anything for someone by the name either. Being a French team, I checked the French article ([9]), not on there either.

a few google searches;
"Matt Gillon" rugby - two pdfs'. One for a school, another written by someone with the same name. Removing the quotes returns plenty of pages, but I stopped looking after the first 250 results.
"Matt Gillon" Blagnac - Returns nothing, whereas a search for one of the other players of the team (eg, "Boumedienne Allam" Blagnac) finds plenty of info.

Danish European Union opt-outs referendum[edit]

The referendum hasn't been called yet, and it may not happen for several years to come. Besides, the intention is to call the referendum, but that will only happen with a majority of votes in parliament. Probably won't be a problem, but it still seems to me as a violation of WP:NOT#CRYSTALBALL. Lilac Soul ^{(talk • contribs • count)} 12:43, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Not a crystal ball. The PM announced yesterday that his government indends to hold a referendum but both the PM and his deputy stated that it has not yet been decided how many of the opt out clauses that will be included in any such referendum, and they also declined commenting about a date. The announcement was made as part of a 200+ clause policy manifesto, and as I understood the PM's speech, he was just repeating a promise made back in 2005. At the moment, this is merely a political vision, nothing definite. Provided that the government remains in power, it is also uncertain whether this will be the next referendum or whether this title will go to the future vote on the succession law, so I'm removing the link to this article from the list of Danish elections since the word "next" is used in that context. Valentinian ^{T / C} 13:28, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Even if the referendum isn't called, the context and issues surrounding it are notable -- and there's lots of independent sources about such a referendum. —Nightstallion 15:31, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Precedent, by the way -- various governments announced referendums on the failed Treaty establishing a Constitution for Europe, and we've still got articles for the cancelled referendums (WITHOUT dates, too) on Wikipedia, confer the links in ((EU Constitution)). In my opinion, this is neither crystal ball nor deletable on any other grounds. —Nightstallion 15:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Nightstallion. However, if this is all data that exists, merge it to Politics of Denmark a.k.a. Elections in Denmark.

Dhartung, I certainly did create an account to nominate this article. This does not make my nomination bad-faith. Perhaps in your search for evidence you noticed the author of the article created it because he merely wanted to remove the material from another article and had no idea what to do with it. The external links are filled with 404 errors. There's no legitimate citations because none exist. The projects related to this standard are barely existant. From a computer science perspective, this whole topic is obvious and insignificant. If you'd like to discuss substantive issues regarding the article, I'd be glad to here from you. LastChanceToDanceTrance (talk) 13:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, although I'm not a regular Wikipedia user and don't know about the policies/guidelines I vote for keep. I agree with the citations argument of Dhartung because FOAF is frequently mentioned in web related papers, about as frequently as the Dublin Core. I agree that the content of the article needs cleanup but deletion is not necessary, in my humble opinion. --GrandiJoos (talk) 13:57, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's "significant coverage" of this standard in any source. They refer to it mostly when using it as an example schema.

Speedy keep. FOAF is pretty significant ("FOAF project", which refers specifically to the subject of this article, gets 2.1 million hits on Google), not sure why this would be nominated for deletion. It may not be taught in a computer science course, but that is not a criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia. I agree with User:Dhartung that this is probably a bad faith nomination. --Oldak Quill 20:18, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I will put together evidence of notability.

(Note that I didn't provide a title or link for my newspaper column, for example.) My intent was never self-promotion -- I recognize full well that Wikipedia is an inappropriate place for that, and again it was not my intention. I can provide a list of similar entries for other people of my apparent level of notability.

As regards my entry being "interesting" or not, as Fee Fi Foe Fum argues...if that's really a criteria for deletion of articles on Wikipedia, I hardly think my modest entry stands out. There are entries on Wikipedia on topics of such staggering dullness as to almost cause damage to the human mind.

- Comment Although the issue numbers were noted earlier in this page, they have now been added to the references section of the article as well. The reason the last name of the subject isn't capitalized is that when I created the article, a page for a "Megan Baker" (a different one) had already been created and deleted and therefore my article by default reverted back to the original title form. Would also like to note that this article is not "self-promotional" in any way as its author (me) is not its subject, just someone with a strong opinion about art and the necessity of supporting independent and up-and-coming artists.

List of eponyms[edit]

Listing all eponyms is the definition of an indiscriminate list. An eponym is any word derived from a person. While some more specific lists of eponyms do exist, such as List of eponymous adjectives in English and List of eponymous laws, Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information and should not have a list that due to volume can never be complete.

Google books search shows an appreciable number of titles, ranging from pure reference (A New Dictionary of Eponyms, Eponyms in Psychology, Dictionary of Medical Eponyms, etc.) to entertainment (Melba Toast, Bowie's Knife and Casesar's Wife; Guppies in Tuxedos, etc.).

Homofascism[edit]

Keep. This is a worthy phenomenon with many reported incidences.

That's why I used the term "hopelessly POV". This can't be fixed: it's a term rarely used in any sort of academic context. The article defines it as a term used "to describe the silencing and persecution of those opposed the GLBT rights movement", which could be rewritten as "homofascism is a term occasionally used by rabid conspiracy theorists on a handful of fundamentalist christian websites who imagine that they are being targeted by the gay mafia".

Speedy Delete - Under "Articles on neologisms" please note:

There are several reasons why articles on (or titled with) neologisms may not be appropriate:
The first is that Wikipedia is not a dictionary, and so articles simply attempting to define a neologism are inappropriate.

The second reason is that articles on neologisms frequently attempt to track the emergence and use of the term as observed in communities of interest or on the internet—without attributing these claims to reliable secondary sources. If the article is not verifiable (see Reliable sources for neologisms, below) then it constitutes analysis, synthesis and original research and consequently cannot be accepted by Wikipedia. This is true even though there may be many examples of the term in use.
In many cases, articles on neologisms get deleted (either via proposed deletion or articles for deletion).

Massive OR, unreliable sources and the misuse of sources contrary to their purpose. The Google book link isn't about Homofascism but the treatment gays have received under facism. The link to the Queer Theory conference shows that the person who did the OR has no understanding of the contexts in which the paper was presented, nor does the ed. have the paper and cannot cite the authors conclusion on the subject. If one could actually cite Adorno, they would see that it is a connection to between being gay and actually being a fascist - having to do with typology and aporia. There are academic sources which treat with subject but not in the way the article suggests. There is not one reliable resource on this whole page, academic or political. Google stats are not appropriate for as research, one as their irrelvant in an encyclopedic article; two, they're original research. Phyesalis (talk) 21:40, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. It's already been deleted twice before as not notable. There's no reason it should be here now. I searched two reliable sources for soaps, neither list him as contract and this "part" is not listed in the actor's IMDB profile. It's not likely a contract role but more likely a recurring, short term role. Regardless, the article's been deleted twice and should remain that way. IrishLass (talk) 13:54, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It is a contract role. There isn't a lot of info about it online because he only began appearing on the show last week. The news section on the official B&B site (http://www.boldandbeautiful.com) states "Mykel Shannon Jenkins joins the cast of THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL in the contract role of "Charlie Baker," Executive Producer and Head Writer, Bradley P. Bell announced today." Every other B&B contract character has an article here. Why should this one be any different? Kogsquinge (talk) 20:42, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Comment No, not every other contract role character has an article here. If he lasts more than 13 weeks, then he should possibly have a page if he's not a one hit wonder. Daytime often hires someone on "contract" but it's only for 6-13 weeks. If he is truly a long term player, then he should have an article. There are several characters from Days of our Lives that were contract but never had an article because their "contract" was only 13 weeks. Contract doesn't mean notability.IrishLass (talk) 13:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment With respect SatyrTN, your original proposal in this AfD was to merge the above articles listed into an article which has a purpose to provide information for "minor" and "recurring". The 2 articles in question in my previous comment, the above and your's are far from being able to be described as "minor" or "recurring". I can't stress enough how much I hate all these articles flying around, and would like it if every new character was added to the "list of.." article, but putting these 2 in would question the definition of the "list of.." article, expand it to an unnecessary length and would, in theory, need a name change to "List of recurring and minor characters and those who have been active for less than a year in Coronation Street" (ok, maybe a bit OTT, but you see my point).

It's a duplicated and massively expanded version of the Warcraft III plot's finale, which takes up about the same amount of space as the entire Warcraft III plot section, which itself has been appropriately summarized. It's also an instance in WoW, but an overly-detailed in-universe section on an instance isn't appropriate either. The subject matter has been covered in separate articles on WoWWiki, which seem complete, purdy and well-organized.

WoWWiki refers to that battle in Warcraft III as taking place during Twilight of the Gods, the name Battle for Mount Hyjal is used to refer to the World of Warcraft instance which used the same plotline. ~~Because someone has already listed and cited the Warcraft III plotline, putting anything from here could be fixing what isn't broke and introducing unsupported material into a cited section.~~ Don't get me wrong, I'm very much in favour of merging whenever possible, but I don't think it accomplishes anything in this case and the article should just be let go.Someone another (talk) 15:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep all - schools cannot be considered as a bundle. Each one has a different range of sources and consequently require individual consideration which they won't get here.

Ones which were more than a one-liner have not been nominated, along the lines of the arguments listed here for wholescale deletion of TV and radio mast stubs. Individual AfDs for these, which can and should be grouped for deletion, are painstaking and even more annoying than batch processing.

Delete I have checked each of these. They all have no references and no text and no pictures and are all elementary schools.

        Toys, TV shows, a movie, a video game, etc. for a main character are all very real world and have achieved national (if not international) attention accordingly. A character that appears in a multi-season show and in various forms is recognizable and worthwhile to have an article on for a non-paper encyclopedia. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 05:35, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

        I don't disagree that more sources wouldn't hurt, but it would be ridiculous by our standards to delete an article concerning a main character that has had so many appearances on a national level and who is recognizable to movie goers, game players, TV watchers, toy collectors, etc. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 05:42, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

        The article meets our presentation and organization standards and concerns a character with some level of recognition to a variety of people at least across the U.S.A. It has enough notability to deserve consideration on an encyclopedia with I think (if I'm incorrect with the number, I apologize) 2 million or so articles. Readers are interested in the character and editors are willing to devote time improving an article that can be supported by facts and that does not personally attack anyone. We shouldn't turn away our readers and volunteer editors. Plus, as the game is recent and I believe a new season may be coming, the notability is likely to continue increasing as well and it would be unnecessary to have to start the article over.

TTN (talk) 22:46, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- You should give admins some credit for being intelligent enough to make up their own minds and myself and others believe Master Shake is notable because he is one of the three main characters in not just a show, but also a movie, toys, video games, guest appearances on other shows, etc. It'd be like saying we think Luke Skywalker is notable just because Star Wars is. Obviously, main characters have achieved their own degree of notability as well, especially when they appear in multiple medias and forms. Plus, our guidelines are edited and change daily. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 22:58, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Most admins will just declare no consensus right away due to the number of "votes", though this isn't a vote. Anyways, as I just linked up above Notability requires objective evidence. Appearing in those mediums does not assert or establish notability because they are part of the main topic. The character is not what is being singled out. Luke Skywalker is not notable because of the various mediums he has been shown in; he is notable because the character can have extensive coverage in real world sources (as shown by Jabba the Hutt, Palpatine, and Padmé Amidala). TTN (talk) 23:06, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

If that's not proof you have an agenda, TTN, I don't know what is. Here's a hint: just because you haven't heard of something doesn't mean that thousands of people haven't either.

TTN (talk) 23:21, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I suggest you keep your mouth shut, because there was no reason for you do even bring this to deletion. You didn't send this to deletion because you wanted this to fit policies and criteria. You did it because you were sore that your edits got reverted. That's called an agenda, and you are guilty as charged. --ChrisP2K5 (talk) 02:34, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am going to caution you about your attitude, and suggest that you be civil in AfD discussions. Telling another user to keep his or mouth shut is certainly not being civil. I cautioned you above about stopping, taking a deep breath, and trying to remember that this is not a personal attack upon you, nor should you make personal attacks upon the editor who made the AfD request. Accusing other users of having agendas and threatening them with what you would do if you were a "mod" are certainly signs of bad faith on your part. You need to calm down. ---RepublicanJacobite_{The'FortyFive'} 02:49, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps I may have been a little quick in assuming his motives, but I still fail to see how it isn't an agenda. And I don't see how I can't tell him to be quiet when he tells me, not in so many words, to leave the Wiki. That was uncalled for. As to why I've voted to keep this article, my reasons are simple: 1) that it is verifiable (if one looks at the websites and watches the episodes, they can observe Master Shake's characteristics and prove once and for all that what is said is true); 2) that enough exists about the character to warrant Master Shake having his own page (don't misinterpret that as "well, then every character should-", as not every character in every series is worthy of its own page and that there are other pages more worthy of an AfD nod); 3) that it's a useful page for anyone who wants to learn more about the character (much more than a blurb on the character page could do justice), fans and non-fans alike; and 4) that the page is encyclopedic in content. A fifth reason was that I really believe that this is a bad faith AfD nod, and I don't believe that the page should be deleted as a result of one person's agenda. --ChrisP2K5 (talk) 03:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Alice Ormsby-Gore[edit]

A well written article who's subject fails WP:BIO. Throughout the article, and the references, the subject is refered to as daughter/sister/lover of. There is no indication of notability of her own and everything else falls foul of notability is not inherited. This extends to her obit which is titled 'Peer's sister 'overdosed on heroin' Nuttah68 (talk) 19:15, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Smerge to her father's article. Half the article is about Clapton, half the article is half about other people in her life. Trim all that (Wm. the Conqueror? Who the hell cares?), trim the bit about their long-term live-in relationship, and merge that into Clapton's article which right now doesn't mention her at all (which seems quite wrong, if she was part of his heroin years). --Dhartung | Talk 07:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The peerage (not to mention royal bloodlines) is one of those odd cases where notability is hereditary (hence Time thinking it worth reporting that she was going to be attending an American school at age 15 ... ), but quite apart from that she was, as an "aristocratic hippy", a notable figure of 60s "Swinging London". --Paularblaster (talk) 22:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC) Also: meets the WP:N basic presumption: "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." Should be tagged for notability rather than for deletion.[reply]
Keep - I don't see any difficulty with notability: she was famous just for being famous (like a great many other people). As Paularblaster points out, there is no difficulty with sources. HeartofaDog (talk) 14:11, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per HeartofaDog. Clearly meets WP:BIO, with plenty of sources. Her life may have been one of meaningless selebrity -through-association-with-celebrities, but she stills meets WP:BIO, and although Paularblaster is wrong to say that notability is hereditary, the sources are clear that she did attract substantial media coverage as an "aristocratic hippy" in 60s "Swinging London". --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 18:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

StudioBard[edit]

I will admit that I was a bit ("a bit" meaning "WAY") to premature to add a speedy tag to this article, almost immediately when it was created. However, at that time it did not assert importance, and now it kind of does. Google search brings up 140 results, however majority are unrelated or are from directory websites, neither of those support any notability. Seems to just be a basic list, comprised of original research, or conflict of interest, from the single-purpose account. Sure, the studio has done work for notable shows, but I don't believe the stuido itself is notable. Given that the article does not supply, and I cannot find any secondary, reliable sources, I do not believe this article meets WP:CORP. Rjd0060 (talk) 17:04, 17 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Tough call, but I'm going to go Delete per Rjd0060. The studio is not notable in and of itself, despite work on other notable subjects. Similar to participants in the creation of other things that are notable - studios, artists, technicians etc. on blockbuster movies don't earn individual articles. Avruch ^Talk 06:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The notability of the subject is proven. The studio is the only one in the area to have been recognized with an Academy Award nomination, has been involved in countless projects throughout the industry. StudioBard is known and respected throughout the region. They are responsible for work Nationally as well... at places like the International Tennis hall of Fame, the Seattle Museum of Flight and the Grand Canyon. and it seems that the decision as to the notability of a company should be determined by those in the industry, whose opinion and influence pertain to the subject at hand. Should someone who doesn't watch Star Trek decide whether 'Amok Time' is a notable episode? Does someone who has never played or watched baseball in Houston have the right to determine if the Crawford boxes are notable? There are countless examples in this ever-expanding volume of all human knowledge that support it's inclusion. Who on the playground gets to decide if the kid is cool enough for the monkey bars? Shouldn't everyone be allowed to try, to see if they can hang? Obviously, if the minimum criteria are met for inclusion, the subject should be included. The whole concept is to cover anything appropriate, relying on those who care about the subject to act as the custodian of knowledge. If someone goes to Wikipedia for information, they expect that the best current information is provided on a given subject, and they do not expect to discover that an article has been deleted because a few people who roam around policing articles about which they have no knowledge decided that the subject wasn't 'notable.' Let time decide. wait and see how much an article can grow over a year or so of interested visitors... if it doesn't... then consider an article of deletion, but until then... leave it alone.

Comment And they are the world's greatest too, right? Doesn't matter how much you say an entity is this that or the other thing, per Notability guidelines (see WP:CORP) the notability needs to be proven through Wikipedia determined reliable sources. For instance to prove the Academy Award a link to where they list it as a winner is needed (or coverage in the news media), or other coverage such as in Variety, The Oregonian, Portland Business Journal, The New York Times, USA TODAY, industry magazines, the AP, Willamette Week, etc. Notice I am not saying they are or are not notable. But the article does no establish that, and until it does, it is subject to deletion. Aboutmovies (talk) 04:25, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you for your help. I have included the Wikipedia determined reliable sources now. I appreciate your input and welcome additional advice. Studiomanager (talk) 17:31, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

OK, those links are reliable. However, the problem is they do not mention StudioBard, thus they do not provide substantial coverage as needed per WP:CORP/WP:NOTE. Simply working on something notable does not transfer notability, unless those efforts helped make them notable, in which case they would be mentioned. For instance with the Academy Award the directors were listed, so that would help with those people's notability. Substantial coverage of StudioBard in a reliable source would be something like an article on StudioBard in Variety. I just checked the Portland Business Journal which almost always has something for a Portland based company/enity, and there were zero results. The other thing is after only two weeks this Wikipedia article is already the number three item on a Google search for the studio, with less than 150 results overall. Unless you can dig up some substantial coverage, this fails notability guidelines. Aboutmovies (talk) 22:09, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: while the studio seems to have done some notable work, the studio isn't notable. Google results StudioBard Portland best award: 42 hits, most of which are its projects. Perhaps this would be a good basis for a broader article like Recording and soundstage industry in Portland, Oregon? —EncMstr 00:37, 28 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I visited six of the "reliable links", as claimed by the author, and found no mention of StudioBard in any. A read through Wikipedia:Reliable Sources and Wikipedia:Verifiability would help clarify what we're looking for; in any case, I don't see evidence of notability. The article is pretty clearly created as a self-promotion, since the author's work consists of this article and adding links to it on other pages - there's a clear conflict of interest here.

Lara Stevens[edit]

Appears to be a non-notable porn actress. I can't find any reliable non-trivial coverage through Google (i.e. just IMDB, IAFD, which are directories) - all I can find is visual proof through Google Image Search that she does indeed have a speciality for "anal gaping", which is not a claim to notability.

As a side note, I've nominated quite a few porn actress articles for deletion just now because I honestly can't see how any of them pass WP:BIO. I haven't nominated some of the older actresses born in the '60s simply because media coverage would be more likely to exist offline if it did. But that's just me giving them the benefit of the doubt and I think they should be AfDed later.

Keep - my buddies and i used to play x-pong all the time at syracuse 3 or 4 years ago, although with slightly different rules. just yesterday we were talking about it and i searched wiki to explain the game to my friend, and found this article. then i see people want it deleted, which i dont understand. as user Jcheifet said above, this article fosters knowledge of the game, which as i said is a real game. if i had to guess i would've said its been around for longer than 6 years, but it's interesting to see the actual history of x-pong. just because you may not have heard of it doesn't mean it's not a real game. the article says it has been played at many universities, yet it didn't list syracuse. imagine how many other colleges it is played at that we don't even know about! it deserves an article as much as any other drinking game. i think we may play this weekend! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.192.34.51 (talk) 19:58, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Baruch Lanner[edit]

This is not an article. It is yellow journalism and muckraking at its worst. This rabbi is not notable in and of himself. Unfortunately, there has been a pattern recently creating articles about disgraced Orthodox rabbis, (Mordecai Tendler, Mordechai Gafni, Aron Tendler) that focus exclusively on their sexual failings when these rabbis had no significant notabilty as rabbis prior to that. The present article only deals with sexual allegations and faults. Wikipedia WP:BLP is not about that. This is an entirely WP:NN individual, who practiced as a rabbi, but was forced to resign because of sex allegations. The intent of the article appears to be a one-sided smear to tar and feather this person, with Wikipedia as the webhost, a violation of WP:NOT#ANARCHY (in the sense that Wikipedia is not the place to act out a grudge) and which also violates the writ and spirit of WP:NPOV as well. Note that Category:Sex crimes only has a sub-category of Category:People acquitted of sex crimes and it does not have a sub-category Category:People accused of sex crimes or Category:People convicted of sex crimes and certainly not Category:Rabbis accused of sex crimes IZAK (talk) 02:56, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - this isn't an article, it is a slander piece. Is the most notable thing reported on this man's life the alleged abuse? Sfacets 03:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. It is not simply alleged abuse. He was tried and convicted. Furthermore, the matter was enormously important within the community of which he was a prominent member. There are probably thousands of articles about people whose most notable achievement was criminal. There is no slander. Every assertion is sourced and could be sourced with multiple citations. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:37, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Urr Will, read carefully, he was not convicted for every last claim that was made in yellow journalism allegations against him. He was not even sentenced for anything major. It was not rape and it was not sodomy. Two girls testified that he brushed against their breasts and that he may have groped their breasts. People do this to their pets all the time! But I do not wish to make excuses for him or anyone. Keep your eye on the ball here. Here was a non-notable rabbi, who after years of being a charismatic youth leader, with lots of groupies after him, who went to jail for minor acts. For this he deserved seven years in jail? Noone expected such a high sentence and it made no sense. This is not the Boston Strangler and you are not the Grand Inquisitor. IZAK (talk) 09:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - It isn't our job to judge the fairness of the criminal sentence. If the sentence was unjust that doesn't reduce the notability of the subject. The only task in this AfD is to decide whether the subject of the article has met the standards of notability as suggested in WP:NOTABILITY. "A topic is presumed to be notable if it has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." This subject easily meets that standard. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 10:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- It is obvious that this aticle was intended as an attack article from the beginning - and that undue weight is given to the accusations/convictions. Evidence of this is the first edit made to the article which already contained exclusive information on the criminal procedings, and nothing on the biography of the subject. The article is about the subject, not his legal problems. Sfacets 23:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Huh? He is notable for his criminal behavior and for the community's reaction to it (note, "his legal problems" seems a very roundabout way to refer to these issues — the legal problems are a result of the behavior, not the behavior itself). What do you think the article should describe, if not the things he is notable for? —David Eppstein (talk) 00:33, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep with modification. Like it or not, the article meets policy criteria for WP:BIO and WP:RS. It makes a clear notability claim and backs it up. However, I agree with nominator that the article should focus on encyclopedic aspects and should not gratuitously describe e.g. specific sex acts in detail. WP:NOT#NEWS makes clear that Wikipedia is intended to present substantive information, not tabloid journalism. Best, --Shirahadasha (talk) 04:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I have no strong opinion on this article, but I'm highly unconvinced by the nominator's reasoning. If someone is notable as a sex criminal, and also happens to be a rabbi, why must they be notable as a rabbi and their rabbinical achievements detailed in order to keep the article? —David Eppstein (talk) 05:24, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The abuse is, according to the article, not 'alleged' but proven, i.e. he has been convicted and sentenced to prison. I don't think all convicted criminals are notable, but the coverage of this incident combined with his position in the community and the publicity of sexual abuse cases against clergy make this particular criminal notable. Avruch ^Talk 06:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep;. There are literally hundreds of news reports over the last seven years about this individual, including an entire investigative series in a major Jewish news weekly. It is not the case of a one-time event that was briefly in the news. The matter was described as "well-publicized" and a "watershed" event that had a major effect on the large organization of which the subject was an excutive. Many individuals become notable due to their crimes. WP has dozens of articles on Catholic priests who achieved notoriety simply due to their molestation convictions, not to mention numerous others who become famous for a single action. As the original creator, I resent the accusation that "the intent of the article appears to be a one-sided smear to tar and feather this person..." I had no such intent. In fact, more there were requests for this article to exist dating back at least to May. I think the article is entirely neutral. I've sought more information on his life, such as his education or birthdate, but haven't yet read all of the articles on him to locate that info. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 07:30, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The Lanner case not only stirred a rare public airing of the issue in the Jewish community, it also provoked intense debate in the community because Lanner allegedly abused scores of teenagers over 30 years....As public reaction swelled, the OU appointed the NCSY Special Commission on the Lanner case. In December 2000, the panel released part of a scathing 332-page report blaming OU leaders for ignoring reports of Lanner’s abuse and urging major organizational reforms....the NCSY has instituted mandatory sensitivity training for all teen advisers, has created "ombudsmen" to hear complaints and has put in place formal procedures regarding sexual misconduct.[21] That shows the importance of the subject. I also see that Wikipedia has been criticized for not mentioning the case.[22] ·:· Will Beback ·:· 08:08, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  - Lanner was a nobody till two high school girls testified that he brushed against their breasts as their principal. All the other stuff are allegations not proven in a court of law, and Wikipedia should not be the place that becomes a holier-than-thou "Über-supreme court" that can over-rule any human being's right to fairness. This is not an article, it is a lynching. IZAK (talk) 08:51, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - Actually, Lanner became notable when he was the executive of a large youth organization and a major Jewish news weekly ran an series of articles alleging serious child abuse by him over a 30-year period. He became even more notable when the organization he was involved with conducted a major investigation followed by a second major report. Here is more evidence of the importance of the subject within his former organization:
      - Weinreb, a rabbi and psychotherapist, began at the O.U. in 2002 and was looked to as a calming figure after the organization was rocked by a scandal involving Baruch Lanner, its former youth division director. Lanner resigned in 2000, in response to a report in the New York Jewish Week alleging that he had abused 4 teenagers over several decades and that O.U. officials had covered up his transgressions. Eventually he was convicted of abusing two teenage girls, and the O.U.'s executive vice president, Rabbi Raphael Butler, resigned, paving the way for Weinreb. Dr. Mandell Ganchrow, who was serving as president of the O.U. at the time that the Lanner scandal erupted, said the new search indicates that Weinreb had finished his task of reforming the organization. "The post-Lanner era is over," said Ganchrow, who served as the O.U.'s president from 1994 to 2000. "The time to heal for the O.U. required the six or seven years that it took. It was done beautifully under a very skillful individual. Now is the time to conquer the next series of problems that faces the Jewish community." "O.U. Leader Being Pushed Out" Nathaniel Popper. Forward. New York, N.Y.: Jan 12, 2007. Vol. 110, Iss. 31636; pg. A10, 1 pgs
    - But for this discussion it really doesn't matter why someone becomes notable, just that they are. This person has been the subject of at least a hundred news articles and is mentioned in probably a few hundred more. As for neutrality, there is nothing in this article that hasn't already been printed in the most respectable Jewish news sources. What matieral in the article is unfair or non-neutral? Also, you are using very emotional language, such as "lynching" and "tar and feather". That's hyperbolic and doesn't lead to calm discussion. ·:· Will Beback ·:· 10:06, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - I'm very calm actually. Tell me, how come you only decided to create this article now? Ever heard of this dude Lanner before? IZAK (talk) 13:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
      - Oh, and I can assure you too, since I am very familiar with who he worked for, that he was nothing more than a glorified cheerleader, he wasn't an "executive" of anything to write home about. Not one of those allegations about NCSY was proven in a court of law despite all the resignations and broo-ha-ha. He went to jail due to what some of his students said from the school where he was a principal, nothing to do with the youth organization. The Jewish Week created such a stink about it, but their allegations never went to court and were never proven. You would make a poor attorney. You seem to be enjoying looking for mud, try looking for better stuff instead. As they say, "get a life"... IZAK (talk) 13:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    - IZAK, the actual language from the NYT article on Lanner's conviction is "Two graduates of the school testified at his two-week trial that when they were 16-year-old students there Mr. Lanner touched their breasts, groped them and pressured them with veiled sexual overtures." Your comment's summary uses much weaker language, saying only that "he brushed against their breasts" and calling the victims, now women, "girls". I don't know your actual intent in phrasing it this way but what it comes across as is disingenuously trying to pretend that a serious crime didn't occur when the court says it did. Please adopt a more neutral encyclopedic attitude, in which we present what's known about a story without trying to spin it one way or another. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The Lanner affair was very notable. It affected a large number of people, and continues to have repercussions on NCSY and the Modern Orthodox world. IZAK wants to whitewash this whole affair. And, predictably, he has begin to accuse those who disagree with him of all kinds of bad motives. That's how he gets out of having to argue the issues. The issues, however, are obvious: The Lanner affair continues to reverberate years and years later. There is no question about its notability. --Meshulam (talk) 17:47, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- comment Buddy, they weren't allegations. They were proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

Keep. The sources for the article are all news from the 2000–2002 period, but evidence of its subject's notability can also be found in the scholarly and popular literatures. Examples: How to Keep Your Children Safe: A Guide for Parents by Yvonne Marie Vissing, UPNE 2007, p.61 has a section about clergy, saying that abuse of this type spans multiple religions, citing Lanner as one of two Jewish examples, and stating that Lanner "abused teenagers in his charge over the course of twenty years". Letters to a Young Journalist, by Samuel G. Freedman, Basic Books, 2006, describes in detail (pp. 38-39) Gary Rosenblatt's efforts in documenting this case; it states the period of time over which the abuse happened as thirty years and writes "This was not an investigation built on the rickety stilts of anonymous sources. Scrupulously, Gary required every victim he quoted to speak by name, on the record." It goes on to describe the Orthodox establishment's attempts to whitewash the problem. Pava, Moses L. (2002), "The Path of Moral Growth", Journal of Business Ethics, 38: 43–54, doi:10.1023/A:1015768912619 in a paper on a topic that is only loosely related nevertheless uses the Lanner case as an example. In a 2004 news story, the OU president in his autobiography maintains his ignorance of the situation at the time. This type of source attests to the significance and ongoing notability of the case, I think — it appears much more than a flash-in-the-pan news item about a minor sex offender. —David Eppstein (talk) 22:25, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As David E shows in his customary expert fashion, the notability is attested by religious and secular news sources over many years, academic sources, and popular books. (He was arguably notable otherwise, even without this: I do not thing he could possibly be described as minor clergy. the very people who want to delete the article say that he had "years of being a charismatic youth leader".

Merge into Skoropadskie and Pavlo Skoropadskyi This person is clearly a member of the Ukraine nobility and the daughter of someone who became leader of Ukraine and intended to make the job hereditary. There's apparently some difference of opinion as to whether she is truly a pretender to the "throne"; although that's the story told in standard articles about her father (like this one), according to this article about her nephew, who reportedly is interested in the hetman position, she "refused to have anything to do with the succession issue, announcing that she wanted to stay out of politics." She's written at least one book (a biography of her father) and she's played a role in establishing at least one museum in post-Soviet Ukraine, according to http://who-is-who.com.ua/bookmaket/ukrtour2007/33/198.html , and she cut the ribbon on another one (according to http://who-is-who.com.ua/bookmaket/ukrtour2007/33/195.html ).

Articles for deletion/2006-07 Texas A&M Aggies men's basketball team

An article on a basketball team's season. Claims notability by "being the best season for the school ever", but that alone doesn't qualify as notable. Didn't win a national championship, nor make any major headway in the news. Jmlk 1 7 01:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep while I disagree with all college basketball teams seasons having articles, this one claims notabilty by heading to the Sweet 16. Just enough for me This is a Secret ^account 21:33, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Wikipedia, to my knowledge, doesn't have any minimum requirement guidelines on what would be classified as a notable season/team. There are a couple of options we can take: a.) allow anyone with a passion to write these articles for their favorite team to do so without discrimination, or b.) only allow articles for those which meet some minimum guideline (unless otherwise notable). Based on what I have seen it appears that Wikipedia tends to lean to the first option more than not—even the 0-10 Dolphins and perennially losing baseball teams who can't win 70 games (won't name any names) have articles. (And obviously I don't believe being a so-called "professional" team makes them any more notable than your average college team.) If someone has a desire to document the history of college teams season-by-season, I say let them. —Mike 19:49, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Transylvania in fiction[edit]

Comment. Isn't Transylvania an indelible part of horror fiction, particularily of the Golden Age of Hollywood? Most people outside the area know it primarily for that, which is certainly noteworthy. At the same time the matter is distinct from the demographics, geography, politics, etc. etc. of the area itself. --23:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kizor (talk • contribs)

Delete: fun stuff, but no encyclopedic value. --Paularblaster (talk) 00:44, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as it addresses a notable plot point in various works of fiction, as suggested above by Kizor. Thanks to the whole vampire legends, Transylvania has served as the setting of many of film, video game, or novel and so I think a good article could be written about this phenomenon and how it may accurately or inaccurately reflect the real location. I feel strongly that these "in fiction" articles are encyclopedic and I have been working to improve a variety of them. In this particularly case, it concerns a topic of interest to our readers and editors and should be kept and improved with additional sources. We clearly are shifting in a keep or no consensus over these types of articles lately anyway: [23] and [24]. I do think the article should and could be improved, however. Best, --Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles^Tally-ho! 07:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Transylvania has been used for _many_ years as a setting for vampire, werewolf, and other monster-related fiction, to the extent that many in the West know of it only through such works. This phenomenon is pretty separate from the real Transylvania as a concept, and it would also be just too long to put in the article on Transylvania, which is up to 29K. Squidfryerchef (talk) 23:08, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I could not at first see why this should possibly have been nominated. The country in which notable fiction is set for rather obvious reasons, would seem clearly of encyclopedic interest. It's not as if all these works just accidentally happened to pick the same place off a map at random. It's not as if nobody has every discussed the matter either, or correlated it with some aspects of actual history. But I may have figured it out, for it may be a signal that all the potentially questionable cultural influence and popular culture articles have been already eliminated. DGG (talk) 05:30, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I don't particularly think compendia of popular trivia are encyclopedic or belong on Wikipedia at all, but they're a fact of wiki-life and it's going to take more vigilance than we can summon up to get rid of them all. That said, the "Transylvania in fiction" list is most likely keeping a good number of people from cluttering up the "Transylvania" article (which, we sometimes need to be reminded, concerns a real place with a long history that has very, very little to do with vampires, werewolves, and the other grotesques people in the Anglophone world constantly insist on shackling it with) with irrelevant and often insulting contributions. "Transylvania in fiction"'s examples have little or nothing to do with the real Transylvania; if we delete the list, massive bloating of the real "Transylvania" article will result, with frustrating results for well-meaning horror fans (who will see their contributions mercilessly reverted out of existence) and nightmarish, highly distracting consequences for serious devotees of Transylvanian cultures trying to improve the "Transylvania" article.

Keep The mythical image of Translyvania that is conjured up by fictional accounts in books and the cinema is so well entrenched in Western culture that many Americans are not even aware that there is a real Transylvania. Anyone looking to improve this article would do well using this paper by Dr. Carmen Maria Andras in the Journal of Dracula Studies: "The Image of Transylvania in English Literature".

In terms of character info, it's already on each charater's article. In terms of analysis, it's original fan research. Unless, of course, it is verifiable, in which case it can be merged into the Vampire (Buffyverse) article. - Koweja (talk) 06:10, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. It is WP:NN in-universe fancruft, as are most of the wiki-linked character pages. Use a wooden stake through the heart. --Evb-wiki (talk) 13:03, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete No context, and, when you figure out what the context is, it's OR.Kww (talk) 15:44, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect - to Vampire (Buffyverse), which appears to have been this author's intent anyway. ◄Zahakiel ► 16:40, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and Redirect as previous; no merge as the information is already in the main article --Paularblaster (talk) 00:51, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The result was no consensus to delete, default to keep. May be deleted per WP:V next time if still unsourced by then. Sandstein (talk) 07:01, 29 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Seems to be pretty much spam. jj137 (Talk) 03:21, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agree with nom. I think it would be best to delete and start again with one (providing a point-of-sale OS is notable). A^RendedWinter 04:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Would almost say this is a CSD candidate, per notability not generally asserted or established. Avruch ^Talk 06:17, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This reads like an advert Doc Strange (talk) 13:15, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per WP:NOT#ADVERTISING. Does seem to be advertising - promoting the product. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 17:55, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If you read the details, it does not sound like advertising, e.g.: "it's pretty obvious that it is not the most up-to-date on current technologies or software support" or "not extremely advanced". True, there are lots of complimentary statements, but they may well be appropriate. Plus, this really is, I believe, a specialized operating system of some importance. Perhaps some editing will make it more palatable, but don't delete it. Tim Ross·^talk 19:39, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup it needs to be rewritten and have notability established, but an IBM POS system would probably meet notability requirements. 132.205.99.122 (talk) 20:23, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Fair points. If the article can be rewritten, sourced with reliable sources and the notability can be asserted then I wouldn't object to keeping the article. Tbo ¹⁵⁷(talk) 23:01, 23 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Keep and cleanup per 132.205.99.122. I don't see major WP:NOT#ADVERTISING problem, the article seems pretty neturally written. --Brewcrewer (talk) 23:59, 24 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and cleanup There is a lot of good information in there it just needs to be cleaned up. Mikemill (talk) 19:50, 26 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
