List of buzzwords[edit]

List of buzzwords (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

I think we should workshop the idea of leveraging our partnerships source-wise and proactively enact a paradigm shift of this article to from the long tail of Wikipedia going forward to rightshoring at Wiktionary. While it has truthiness it is not mission critical encyclopaedia-wise, but would be a value-added outsource to Wiktionary. Guy (Help!) 22:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • One person's selection? This seems more to have been a collaboration by many editors. Even if this looks like a dust magnet, it is maintained; see Talk:List of buzzwords/Removed content for all the unsourced words excluded from the list. So what if the words go out of date? It's not List of buzzwords in current usage, it's a general list. The historical variations, by your analysis, give this list more value. If you would like to, based on this list, write articles about buzzwords from particular years, go ahead. But those lists not existing yet does not warrant deleting this one, as this is simply an amalgamation of all of them, with parameters implied by policy. Definitions can always be filled in based on the sources. –Pomte 04:15, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Please restrict discussion to whether this article belongs here. It may certainly be useful or underdeveloped at Wiktionary, but it should be kept because it's not unencyclopedic, not those other reasons. –Pomte 06:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • In other words, do a big bunch of original research, and then do some more original research, and then encourage the reader to do more original research on top of all the original research that's already been done. Great plan. Otto4711 (talk) 06:53, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • No, in other words, since the line between the two is blurred, leave it blurred. Any reliable source will do to substantiate that a buzzword was at one time a buzzword. As long as we know it is one of the two (buzzword or cliché), we don't have to know which one it is.    :)   And the list is only "original research" as long as it is unsourced, which presents a developmental dilemma: such a list is in danger of getting deleted unless it is already sourced, but in order to get the most exposure so that it becomes sourced it needs to be posted. As far as I can tell, ninety-five percent of Wikipedia is unsourced. Luckily, articles can't be deleted fast enough to make a big dent.  :-) Eventually, someone will come along and source it -- give that person, whoever Fate decides it will be, a chance. The Transhumanist 08:30, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • By all means, let's keep the discussion civil, by refraining from making veiled accusations of incivility where no incivility exists in an attempt to discredit the comments of others. WP:USEFUL is not a compelling argument for retaining any article. Neither is 'people add junk to the main article so we need someplace to dump it,' also known as better here than there. If material is being inappropriately added to the main article, deal with it in the context of the main article. Don't create or maintain garbage dump articles to keep the main articles "pure." Otto4711 (talk) 07:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Most of these don't have entries, and probably never will because Wikipedia is not a slang dictionary. That's why I proposed moving it to Wiktionary, like we have with other jargon lists. Guy (Help!) 16:10, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment. First, thank you all for your comments and for your help with the article. As you can probably tell, we are new to this. In addition to the current links in the article, Workforce Strategy Center has received coverage from major publications that either charge a fee for access to their archives or (so far as we can tell) no longer have their articles available online. For example, we have been written up a number of times in The Chronicle of Higher Education which charges for access to their archived stories.

Comment -- I'm not 100% convinced myself that this character is worthy of a full article, but if we had an article on recurring characters in the Onion, it would make sense to merge to that. Haikupoet (talk) 17:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with Haikupoet. Several of the articles about Onion characters have the same message, surely if there was one article for all of them, with redirects, that would be acceptable? --Dyefade (talk) 12:54, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to The Onion as a viable search term. Google search reveals nada in terms of independent notability outside the "onion universe". If not redirect, then I say delete. Keeper | 76 21:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Actually, Sh76us, there is a lot of contention as to whether most fictional characters warrant a page or not. The key is referencing that shows that the specific subject matter, in this case Don Turnbee, warrants an article. I've done a google search (albeit not exhaustive), linked above, and couldn't find anything substantive. I recommend reading, if you haven't, the discussions happening revolving around WP:FICT, including the talk page regarding the inclusion criteria for fictional characters, episodes, villains, heroes... And also if you haven't, please read WP:WAX. Cheers, Keeper | 76 15:43, 11 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am tagging this article for deletion for several reasons.

-There are numerous formatting and spelling errors, which detract from the article.
-Much of the information given is covered in other articles. This blatant overlap must be stopped.

Predominantly unsourced WP:Original research, and WP:LISTCRUFT. Oli Filth(talk) 21:37, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I see your point on it not being cruft, but due to the haphazard way the list has been compiled, it seems almost trivial (not least because there's no criteria for how notable a song has to be to be included), so I stand by my opinion.
The songs are not a source for verifiability; in many cases it's open to interpretation as to whether a particular effect is flanger, chorus, phaser, echo, or just a trick of microphone placement; see some of the discussions on the article's talk page. Any such inference without a reliable source is pure OR.
As for merging into Flanging, this list was originally part of that article, but was split out after a discussion there; see Talk:Flanging#Recordings with a prominent flanging effect. Incidentally, that conversation gives an example of the "open to interpetation" I refer to, as well as echoing my opinion that it's crufty. Oli Filth(talk) 22:26, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Concerning notability, if a song is notable, then it is notable enough to be listed on Wikipedia. Notability requirements are not typically set in specific articles, they are set by WP:N. I interpreted the word "prominent" in the article's title to refer to the acoustics of the effect rather than to the popularity of the sample. That word could easily be removed. The nobability problem is tied into the OR issue, and both are solved by providing sources. Let the article be sourced. The Transhumanist 22:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
If suitable sources can be found, I agree that this would imply the songs in question are probably satisfactorily notable. As for the use of "prominent"; on the one hand its use leads to subjectivity. On the other hand, without such a criterion, then there's a million songs out there that will have some form of flanging added to some extent during mastering.

Comment. Did you look at the sources themselves to determine if they're reliable an on-topic? For example, in the following paragraph, what information in the footnote supports the content of this text from the article?
The reissue of Larry Flynts' Barely Legal magazine in 1993 spawned copycat magazines with titles such as Hawk, Tight, and Barely 18. Barely Legal itself has diversified into a popular video series of the same name (which ranked #20 in Adult Video News' Top 40 Rentals on 1999-11-22), alongside titles such as Virgin Stories, Cherries, Rookie Cookies, Cherry Poppers, Young and Anal, Cheerleader Confessions, and Young, Dumb and Full of Cum. * [footnote here]
* [reference citation in footnote:] Karlyn, Kathleen Rowe (Fall 2004). ""Too Close for Comfort": American Beauty and the Incest Motif". Cinema Journal. 44 (1). University of Texas Press: 69–93.</ref>
Does the study in the footnote mention Young, Dumb and Full of Cum? I decided to check it out. Not only does the reference not mention that magazine, it also doesn't mention Young and Anal. It turns out, the study is an analysis of the film "American Beauty" and the way in which the film shows the "structure of father-daughter incest, working through displacement, has provided a narrative that links a series of recent cultural developments: the sexualization of ever-younger girls, cinema's erasure of mothers and of career women as sympathetic figures, and efforts to remasculinize the middle-aged white male." Any connection between that study and the topic of this article would be WP:OR because the study does not discuss "teen pornography". Now that I've done the work of confirming that the source is mis-quoted, I'll remove it from the article. If anyone finds something in that source that I missed, that specifically addresses teen pornography, they are welcome to re-add the footnote. But if so, please provide an exact quote on the talk page so it can be verified. --Jack-A-Roe (talk) 00:17, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Nine of the ten references in the article do not refer at all to the rumors themselves, but rather to rebuttals against those rumors. The one source of a rumor is a Snopes article which does not establish notability. Most of the rumors are unverified, which is why they're just silly internet rumors in the first place.

I'm aware of WP:IDONTKNOWIT, but the fact remains that I only discovered who this individual was when I found interviews of his that weren't even about him, and if notability is asserted only by mere association with one notable element, then I know plenty of deleted articles that shouldn't have been deleted, probably 99% of the ones that weren't blatant crap or lies. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 03:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am the one who nominated it for AfD, and (for the sake of full-disclosure) also created the article. While I am always open to comments from the community, I thought speedy deletion of the article was hasty considering the size of the org and the distribution of the periodical in question, which is published in more languages than any periodical by a mile. I think its safe to say it doesn't read like spam. I think the biggest strike against it is it newness, since it was relaunched on the first. However, it is a new media presentation for the organization, which is why I thought it might merit a separate article, much like specific books for the organization (and others for that matter) have their own articles.

I hope the format of my comment is not inappropriate; I am not confident of customs and protocol of my Wikipedia correspondence, apologies in advance. Recently I have used it for several performances with my group 3 Pups Music at a noteable music festival, the Sonic Arts Festival at University of Arkansas, USA in December 2007. I have watched Sensomusic's Usine community both from correspondences, website publications and forum posts made on the forum websites at http://www.kvraudio.com and http://www.sensomusic.com for about the past 2-3 years. I am aware through correspondences, website publications and forum posts that the software is used by other musicians in locations in several different countries. I have used Usine as a musician myself for about the last 2 years in its free version, and have been using the full commercial version of the software for about the last 4-6 months. I think it would be a mistake to refuse Usine an entry in Wikipedia.



me again, to Wickethewok :
are you really sure that music technology magazine and newspaper are " independent sources "...?
read some of them ( try "keyboards recording magazine " for example...maybe you see that time to time web forums can be a better info sources
just my 2 cents
nay-seven

my name is Stefanus Vivens,(you'll find me in google, but there is no 1500 hits!) i'm a professionnal musician since 1989. Those later years i worked on Reason(license), Ableton Live(license), MAX/MSP... i decided to grow up with Sensomusic Usine now(license), because it is a very open software, always in development, with free updates, where i'm free to do all i want. And because it is a software done by a musician for musicians, for a very special use, because it is all modular, with some audio to midi translation, analysis, and so easy to use compared to MAX/MSP, Reaktor. Usine can work with MAX and Reaktor; since the begining Usine is fully VST...next step is a VST plugg version,in order to be used with Ableton Live, Cubase, Logic...(etc) so why don't reference it? I think that maybe there is a preconception for this almost free software. about externals links, this is an extract of the Wikipedia MAX article: >>> ""Native Instruments markets a similar software called Reaktor. Reaktor is generally considered easier to use and learn than Max, albeit less powerful.

Apple has a very similar program called Quartz Composer focused on graphical compositions and there is also a free (for non-commercial use) software developed by meso called VVVV (a multipurpose toolkit) focused on real time video synthesis."" <<< with respect, Stéfanus Vivens —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.24.234.109 (talk) 13:11, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I did some work with the IDE, it is interesting and breath-taking piece of work (and often frustrating as the authors decided make it so much different from all other IDEs) but the novel approach doesn't really establish encyclopedical notability of the subject. It is very hard for Wikipedia to reliably cover software, except for the very few widely used tools. Many software articles end up unmaintained, obsolete and full of marketing. History of Ultimate++ page on WP doesn't make me optimist.
Quite a many of the other IDE's mentioned above should be, IMHO, deleted as well. For a truly massive list of IDE articles see Comparison of integrated development environments.

Hikari Hino[edit]

AfDs for this article:
Hikari Hino (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

WP:BIO now more inclusive in that its criteria applies fairly to Japanese porn. 1. Has she won any Japanese awards? They exist don't they?! 2. What unique or iconic contributions has she made to japanese porn? 3. Has she been featured multiple times in mainstream Japanese media? (and no being sold by Amazon or any other seller does not make her notable. Nor is amazon a verifiable source) Article flunks the criteria. Vinh1313 (talk) 17:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"How many awards has she won?" Well, how many adult entertainment awards are there in Japan? Does anyone know of even one? No? I've been editing in the area of Japanese erotic cinema/pornography for two years now, and have yet to find a single firm source on any such awards in Japan. Yet we just assume they hand out awards like candy on Halloween, just because the U.S. adult entertainment industry apparently does? To really determine if Hikari Hino is a notable Japanese AV actress-- rather than set up a kangaroo court to delete the article-- we have to compare Hikari Hino to the average in her country and industry-- not by rules put in place to deal with a foreign country and industry.
According to journalist and Japanese media authority, Kjell Fornander[6][7], the career of an average Japanese AV actress spans about one year, during which the actress appears in five to ten videos total.[8] How does Hikari Hino compare to the average Japanese AV actress? Still going strong two and a half years after her debut, she is currently featured in 56 DVDs listed at mainstream Amazon.com. (Specialty adult services would no doubt list more.) For further insight, how does Hikari Hino compare to a Japanese pornographic superstar like Hitomi Kobayashi? "...long hailed as Japan's Queen of Adult Video... It's been 16 years since her debut film and she has made 39 movies for the direct to video market..."[9] (bold italics mine).
Hikari Hino is clearly notable by Japanese Adult Video standards. To claim a prolific, long-lived, high-profile AV star like Hikari Hino is not notable because she hasn't appeared in U.S. Playboy, or because she hasn't won an award in a country that is apparently nowhere near as award-happy as the U.S. is to openly invite cultural provincialism into the English Wikipedia. To further chip away at Wikipedia's already meagre coverage of Japanese erotic cinema is to further the cultural bias already present. Dekkappai (talk) 19:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Notability is not a numbers game or comparison. I believe the wp:bio guidelines are fair. Aren't there popular japanese adult magazines like (a Japanese Playboy) that she's the main centerfold of? Someone else mentioned that JAV stars typically appear on mainstream Japanese television. Can't you cite the times that Hikari Hino has appeared on a mainstream television? Vinh1313 (talk) 22:08, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment is the overlap of AV performers and Playboy centerfolds in the US so strong that you would expect a similar correlation to occur in Japan? Either way, it still looks like you're trying to pigeonhole one culture into another. Neier (talk) 07:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment It's not about culture or an overlap comparison. Playboy centerfolds are notable because Playboy is a mainstream magazine with a circulation of 3 million. Is there an equivalent in Japan? You tell me. Vinh1313 (talk) 06:26, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Playboy seems to be a magazine for middle-aged gents who like to be told how to spend their money, interspersed with the occasional, heavily "airbrushed" (photoshoplifted) photos both of tits not quite spilling out of bikinis and of straightforward T&A. I can think of Shūkan Gendai as a putative equivalent. It's different in certain ways, however; and an important one is that it seems to eschew porn stars for the most part. A widely stocked example of a mag that does include porn stars is Bejean, but this has a much higher percentage of T&A than Playboy does: it's a well-photographed stroke magazine for the horny young rather than a shopping magazine for the aged. However, I'm no expert. I can assure any heterosexual men here who are iconolagnically inclined that googlesearches will bring numerous uplifting pleasures. -- Hoary (talk) 06:58, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Dekkappai's well-reasoned notable in her field exposition. Neier (talk) 07:35, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Judging from the sources in my statement above, there is extreme imbalance here in representation between the U.S. porn field and the larger Japanese porn field. Obviously fewer articles were created here on the Japanese subjects because there are much fewer editors specifically interested in the Japanese industry. It's natural that the English Wikipedia would lean towards subjects in the English-language world. This kind of unintentional bias is to be expected, and probably unavoidable though we should consciously work against it rather than intentionally further it. I have helped delete articles on Japanese erotic cinema which were not notable in the field, and I will continue to do so. However, using rules which were obviously put in place to deal with the U.S. industry to further that imbalance by deleting articles on subjects which are notable in their field creates cultural bias and is therefore using the rules against their intended purpose, and harmful to Wikipedia. Dekkappai (talk) 18:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment If this is a Japanese performer and a Japanese award, why isn't there a Japanese article to cover this? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Vinh1313 (talk • contribs) 06:30, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Parts of the article are obviously cribbed from a Japanese source-- e.g. the title (in the midst of the article) and the names use kana, rather than being transcribed into Chinese characters. This appears to be a Chinese-language site which follows the Japanese AV industry. Why does this original Japanese source appear not to be online now? I can't answer that any more than I can answer why an award reported in Chinese would make the award any less notable than had it been reported in Japanese....

Tamer Hosny (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

I first speedied this because notability was asserted but not indicated (no reference). Another editor turned down the speedy and added one reference, so I'm bringing this here.

Now, the main problem with this article is that nearly every claim it makes is uncited, and there are no references except for one. I did a Google search for "Tamer Hosny" and nothing came up in the first ten pages. Of course, given the amount of youtube clips and fan groups, I'm guessing there are plenty of Egyptian-language sources; there just aren't any english ones.

Disagree What the references show is that multiple, independant, reliable,secondary sources find the school and what occurs there "Worthy of Note" which is the heart of WP:N. This is refleced in the fact that WP:OUTCOMES notes that the majority of High School articles have been found notable when they arive at AFD. Although it's not policy at this time I believe that this article as it now stands it would also fall in line with the proposed WP:SCHOOL policy.--Cube lurker (talk) 21:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - most high schools can be sourced to meet WP:N which is why the consensus is that they are notable. OTOH most elementary schools don't have such sources available so that consensus is that they should be merged except for a notable minority. To say that an "award-winning anti-bullying project" is not notable is, frankly, bizarre. TerriersFan (talk) 23:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From WP:EP: "the submission of rough drafts should also be encouraged as much as possible" and "...in cases in which the article obviously has no redeeming merit whatsoever, delete it outright. The decision to take the latter action should not be made lightly, however". Making a decision that an article is worthy of deletion with only one minute's thought is taking it lightly. Phil Bridger (talk) 13:13, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The article was submitted to AfD, a process which gives 5 days to reach a conclusion to delete an article. That is hardly taking the decision lightly. There are huge numbers of articles in Wikipedia that are there, not because somebody actually has something useful to say on the subject, but because somebody thought there ought to be an article on the subject but had nothing to actually say about it. There aren't enough people around to "save" more than a small proportion of such articles, and for the most part articles that have been created as a placeholder by somebody with nothing to say should be deleted. Nine times out of ten, that is their fate. Occasionally somebody will come along and improve the article instead, but it is the exception. I have no problem with any of this. If I AfD an article and it is improved instead, all well and good (want to bet that it would still have been improved if I added a couple of improvement tags to it, because experience says otherwise). What I object to is the actions of a small group of editors who don't want to argue the individual case, but would rather fling a bit of mud with false accusations of breaches of policy in the hope that it will "see-off" the nominator from nominating anything in their domain again. My nomination clearly runs counter to the consensus in this case, which I accept. That does NOT mean that nominating it was a breach of policy, and I find the wikilawyering that people have indulged in here very distasteful. It is also a complete waste of your time, because I'm not somebody who runs away when faced with bullying. I will continue to nominate articles that I believe have no merit as I see fit, although you may rest assured that there will be no mass nominations to make a WP:POINT. I have no intention whatsoever of stooping to the same level as those who have attacked me. Mayalld (talk) 13:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I have made no personal attack, and invite you to withdraw that accusation. I simply gave my opinion on what should happen to this nomination and provided a reference to policy in support of that opinion. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment please re-read what you wrote! Yes, you gave your opinion on what should happen to this nomination. Upon that much we can agree, and whilst our views differ that is all well and good. However, given that the policy you quoted contains no injunction forbiding nominating articles for consideration by AfD it cannot have been in support of your keep opinion. Your post was more to do with trying to warn me off nominating in your playground than it was about the outcome of this AfD. Mayalld (talk) 15:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The inability to distinguish between practices that are not explicitly prohibited by Wikipedia policy, and the failure to consider the clearest possible admonitions in Wikipedia:Deletion policy, Wikipedia:Editing policy and elsewhere to respect the new articles being created by researching, editing, improving, merging or tagging articles before the mad dash to deletion, has raised justifiable concerns by nearly all participants in this AfD, which was submitted in under 60 seconds after the article was created. Among all the rhetorical backflips and rationalizations, I particularly enjoy the promise that "you may rest assured that there will be no mass nominations to make a WP:POINT", which unfortunately is already happening. The overwhelming rejection of your arguments for deletion here AND of the circumstances under which you created this AfD, should represent a rather clear consensus that you need to reevaluate the criteria and practices you use in proposing articles for deletion. Alansohn (talk) 18:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment That is not the case, and I invite you to retract it. I have indeed nominated a number of articles for deletion, but that is nothing new. What is also not new is that the majority of articles that I nominate are actually deleted. Sure they don't all get deleted, and I'm sometimes at odds with others as to whether an article is notable, but why is that a problem? You seem to be attempting to create a situation where people don't dare nominate anything for deletion lest the bullies leap in and give them a good kicking. Mayalld (talk) 16:26, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The problem seems to stem from the near total involvement in deletion of articles and the corresponding lack of involvement in creating and improving articles. There are surely many articles that merit deletion, speedy or otherwise. Yet there are many articles created each day that are worthy articles, that need to be improved and expanded. For all articles other than hoaxes or complete nonsense, the nominator has an obligation to investigate potential claims of notability. What seems to be happening -- and you are far from alone in this disorder -- is that after reading so many articles looking for potential deletes, that they all start looking like deletes, and you stop making the effort to bother even checking. That so many of your nominations have been so resoundingly rejected should tell you that your "deletedar" is picking up articles that have little or no justification for deletion. You need to start recognizing that these instant deletions, created within minutes of creation, send the worst possible message about Wikipedia to those new editors creating their first articles. Making a genuine attempt to observe Wikipedia:Deletion policy and demonstrating good faith to all articles and their creators, will go along way in dealing with these disruptive problems. Spending a day or two solely editing, improving and adding sources to the articles you would otherwise have prodded or AfDed, can go a long way to understanding the position of the targets of your persistent deletion efforts.

Non-notable. Article has plenty of sources, non of which are strictly about the subject. They may mention him in passing, but notability requires significant coverage from multiple third-party reliable sources. One award is named in the article - from a local brewery. SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 15:55, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep As notable as any other regular broadcaster anywhere else in the world, and given that he is a presenter, theatre director and actor, probably more notable than most. Meridian Tonight is a daily news programme, not some trivial occasional broadcast. Incidentally, the brewery may be described as "Kent-based", but its beer is available all over the UK (thank goodness - I don't live in Kent!) and it is, I believe, England's oldest brewery, so hardly a trivial outfit. Sources may be insufficient, but that is merely and indication that that the article should tagged for better references.Emeraude (talk) 16:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: I have done a number of varied searches on Google and Google News without success. I've also visited about half of the sponsors listed at http://www.logjamfestival.com/logjam/default.asp?ID=17&PageData=223 and have not found one that mentions sponsorship of the Festival so far. I've also searched the archives of newspapers in the area (Duluth News Tribune, Duluth Budgeteer News, Business North). In the Budgeteer, there was an article from mid-2007 that mentioned three festivals in the free abstract: "WE Fest, Moondance Jam and 10,000 Lakes Festival highlight this year's busy festival season." I presume that the LogJam Festival would be mentioned in this article, but it would likely be a passing reference rather than a substantial news item. Duluth is the county seat of the county in which Winton sits, the site of the Festival; I have not found more local papers online as of yet.

This is a band that won some local and student awards, but does not appear to have made any kind of wider impression. There are no sources for the one claim of notability, and the link is wrong, it links to the Hindu word, we don't have an article on the track. Tagged for cleanup in September, not cleaned up. Guy (Help!) 14:58, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Which caveat? That the band need to have been the primary subject of multiple non-trivial independent sources? Source would be good :-) Guy (Help!) 20:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
"if this is the only claim, it is probably more appropriate to have a mention in the main article [for the film]". [15] is probably an adequate source for the claim, as IMDb is officially excluded - I've added this to the article. Tevildo (talk) 21:08, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Why deleting ?? - I think it sounds for me there might exist some antipathy against the writer because of the problems (one month blockage is heavy) instead focussing onto the aspect of "rescuing the article". But not up to me to score. Back to the theme: Names which are less famous can become famous. Is WP a source only for celebrities? This group is active since 1996 till today. So 11-12 years existance indicates some substances. Did you know that the Beatles did nearby 300 local gigs in / around Liverpool before they became famous and started their world carrier in Hamburg, Germany ?? - Imagine, that time you'd have said this. Hey folks, let's delete them, they are local. Today you would be blamed if you look at the immortal success of the Beatles.
A source linkage to IMDb now exists, so better "we" the Wikipedians wish all the best to this music group with all objective distance (It's not really my taste of music) and... don't overtake the judge to kill them. The group mostly won Asian wards and we from Western world I would say have nearby a "0" knowledge what's hip in Asia.
Improve the article, that's a must. What I think really weak is the biographical aspect. One sentence at the beginning, that's not enoug. But not enough also to kill the article. What's about with the music style, the education of the musicians, how were they contracted for the 1st album ? - I am shure there exist details about. Only presenting a CD list and Awards is like advertising. In this point push the article into a draft status ("to be improved") and let it shape from writers who like to go deeper into the details.

  • B21 is a huge bhangra group, in the asian music industry. There are close to one billion people in India, and this band is extremely huge over there. Jus because you may not have heard of them, or they aren't huge in the western scene (Although there songs have been on a few US movies) does not mean you can decredit them as some sort of uni band.

    • If there exist independent, realiable sources, please insert them. As the article stands now, the references are of the kind "The Confraternity of Catholic Saints Official Website Homepage" which, you will agree, look very much "self published or created" by the Confraternity of Catholic Saints. Happy editing, Goochelaar (talk) 10:06, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I have already found resources that talks about the Confraternity. About its recognition in Croatia. But the text is in Croatian and I have a hard time translating it. I have found a website named The Croatian World Network and I have found a article there, telling the pilgrimage of the Director through images with captions that cannot be seen in the website of the CCS. Yes many of the references where from their website because these are the informations about their Confraternity. And there is no best reference about their Confraternity except their own. But as I have said I have already found and put some citations from other independent references. Thank you for your comments. At least I am learning very much.--Sirrodz (talk) 11:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep The article as it stands today seems meticulously researched and referenced and is about an organisation with enough presence in the Phillipunes to be notable. I have some concerns about NPOV though.Riversider2008 (talk) 12:18, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • All entries in the article were from references and some informations were translated to what I read. And I did not put any opinions on all the entries. It is basically in a neutral point of view.--Sirrodz (talk) 12:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • My NPOV concerns relate to the use of terminology that is prevalent in the Roman Catholic church, but which are not used or understood in the same way by non-Roman Catholics. An example might be referring to the Pope as 'The Holy Father' rather than merely 'The Catholic Pope' (This is similar to the way that Moslems refer to Mohammed as 'The Prophet' (pbuh), while people belonging to other religions might object to this. pointing to the existence of other prophets.) Other NPOV questions about the article might be 'what does 'promoting holiness' actually mean in this context? Perhaps 'promoting spiritual awareness and practice in line with the doctrines of the RC Church' might be a better way of putting this. None of these NPOV objections would be strong enough to justify deletion of the whole article though.Riversider2008 (talk) 13:01, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I understand. Honestly, I am a Roman Catholic. But the case is those lines you have mentioned are from their website. And I think it is unethical for me to just change it when I know that I am only copying in their website. Well, let us see. I will work more to improve the article. Thank you for that.--Sirrodz (talk) 13:41, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • We have a problem here. Wikipedia is not a backup of personal pages of people and association: it is an encylopedia, so we are not bound to exactly quote them, especially when their use of words is not universally acknowledged. To offer a single example, in the very first sentence the article says that CCS is devoted to "promoting Holiness through the lives and works of the Saints". But what does "Holiness" mean? It is not a universally defined term (as, say, hypotenuse or London): each religion or ethic has its own concept of holiness, if any. So in a non-confessional encyclopedia we cannot use words in the sense in which a particular subset of humanity uses them.

          On the other hand, I still believe that the subject of the article is non-notable and I still cannot see multiple, reliable, independent sources. Goochelaar (talk) 14:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

        • Thank you for that. Then I understand now. So I will edit it to make it better.--Sirrodz (talk) 14:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep the current version seems adequate. By the way, I do not completely agree that there is a NPOV problem with of the wording. For the general examples used, for an Islamic subject "The Prophet" is clear & NPOV; indeed to insist on saying the Muslim Prophet would be against NPOV, implying "the person whom the Muslims for some reason seem to consider the Prophet." (& even in islam, there are other prophets The term by itself in English when capitalized means Mohammed unless the context is otherwise (and similarly for the Holy Father). For that matter, there's more than one London; but we know which London we mean, unless specified otherwise. For the particular article, Saints is perfectly clear also in this context. "Holiness" would not normally be capitalized in a non-denominational context, so while it is clear what is meant, considering the title of the article, the style in general should be a little less parochial. DGG (talk) 20:25, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment "The person whom Moslems regard as The Prophet" I feel IS a very NPOV way of describing the status of Mohammed. Most non-moslems do not regard Mohammed as THE or even A prophet, so describing him as such cannot be NPOV, any more than describing Christ as 'The Saviour of the World and the Son of God' can be NPOV. (In this case NPOV would be "The man Christians regard as Saviour of the world and Son Of God". NPOV does not require us to repeat the claims that Religions make about their objects of worship or leading figures uncritically. If it did, it would lead us into all sorts of difficulties. For example, there exists a whole section of Christianity, which at it's most extreme, regards the practice of Catholicism as idolatry and has even claimed that the Pope is the Anti-Christ. To describe the Pope as 'His Holiness' would be deeply disrespectful to Christians with this belief. The term 'The Pope of the Roman Catholic Church' avoids this neatly and is NPOV. Similarly the use of the term 'promoting holiness' in this article could easily be disputed, my formulation 'promoting spiritual awareness and practice in line with the doctrines of the RC Church' avoids this and maintains NPOV. Riversider2008 (talk) 08:41, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
the above suggestion would introduce weasel words and unnecessary complication into every article on religion. It is obvious that an article about Roman Catholics describes Catholics. Describing Christ as the Saviour without qualification in an article about christ is indeed not correct; qualifying every mention of the Saviour in articles about Christian institutions is absurd. DGG (talk) 23:50, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep and merge per Malinaccier and Twas Now. Lists like this are important pieces of Wikipedia's list-based navigation system, and they provide the building blocks for better lists to be made out of them later. According to WP:CLS: lists may be enhanced with features not available to categories, but building a rudimentary list of links is a necessary first step in the construction of an enhanced list -- deleting link lists is a pointless waste of these building blocks, and unnecessarily pressures list builders into providing a larger initial commitment of effort whenever they wish to create a new list, which may be felt as a disincentive. Refs can be added to this list as they pop up in the punk band articles themselves. Making a list maker provide all the refs, or wait until the articles have them before creating the list, seems like the wrong approach -- it hampers development of useful lists. On the project-level (i.e., considering Wikipedia as a whole), it would be easier for all concerned if the references were provided at the article-level and then harvested by the listmakers.

Doctor Who (film) redirects to Doctor Who (1996 film) - and there is a redirect note there that links to Dr. Who (Dalek films). We also have Doctor Who (disambiguation) which has a link to both. StuartDD contributions 19:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reason The reason I created the list was because, when I added these films to the main list of doctor who serials, someone deleted it as they said it wasn't appropriate, as it was Dr. Who, not Doctor Who, thus I started a new list, for uniformity. In addition, while it currently only has three listings, there has been numerous rumours of additional Doctor Who movies, both 'The Chase' and prior to the revived series. Resistme (talk) 23:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Perhaps the table covering the two Dr. Who (Dalek films) can be put in Doctor Who spin-offs#Cimena, rather than having a separate list. StuartDD contributions 16:54, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment. I would have not supported the removal of this information from the list of serials article, and it sounds to me like someone was just being anal. I'd say put it back there, post a query to the Doctor Who Wikiproject to seek consensus, and let it sort itself out that way. The inclusion of the 1996 telefilm in this list, which is a direct continuation of the TV series, renders the whole "Dr. Who" vs "Doctor Who" argument silly. 23skidoo (talk) 15:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This is an album track on Britney Spears' latest record. There is no news or source stating that this will be released as a single, nor is there any information on a possible music video. The song does not seem to have any notability other than the fact that it appears on her album.

  • My opinion: I can't we this song shouldn't have it's own article? The song 'Touch of My Hand' from 'In the Zone' also has it's own page, even tough it has never been released as a single or even as a airplay track.

I can't see no harm in this song having it's own article, to be frank. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.243.158.80 (talk) 13:53, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • It seems that Touch of my Hand has received some notice among reviewers, juding by the four quotes on the page, making it notable. Even if this were not the case, asserting that x has its own page so why not y is not an argument for keeping y. It is only an arguement for deleting x. Redfarmer (talk) 14:07, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I created the Wikipage for the song and i think that it should have its own page because many unrelease song from different artist have their own page because they were succesful and this song is succesful too. It has already been reviewd by professional critics including Rolling Stones and its getting airplay so thats why i think the page should Stay. User:password16 (talk) 14:40, 4 January 2008
  • Non-single songs that have their own article are notable for some reason or another (think "Stairway to Heaven"). I don't feel that this one is. It's just an album track, and critics have only reviewed this song as part of an overall review for the album. As far as airplay is concerned, I see no sources or chart action regarding this. - eo (talk) 22:49, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I have no opinon on this, except that if it gets merged into the album article, then Touch of My Hand should be merged into its album's article too, since Why Should I Be Sad has quite a detailed article compared to that... – Alensha talk 13:53, 8 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Every argument in this article is academically referenced. This argument is based on the peer reviewed publications. There is no reason for deletion. Rather, it would be vandalism deleting it. of course kemalist wikipedians are frightened. And want it to be deleted. But Wikipedia is an Encyclopeda and can not bias itself in favor of any ideology including Kemalism. The article even cites European Court of Human Rights press releases. This article only depicts the facts about kemalism.

Kemalist ideology article does not include any criticism. Like Communism and Criticism of communism it is better to construct two seperate articles.

Merge Both articles contain useful referenced information that should not be lost from Wikipedia. I see two options: keep them both in the present form, or merge them. The worst thing to happen would be to simply delete this article, and lose the information it contains.

I'm leaning toward advocating the merger of the two articles into one as neither can be described as NPOV in their present form - I can see this would involve a lot of work to make it flow and create an article that both sides could live with - lots more heat than light to come I fear.

At present while the two articles link to each other, there is not this mutual summary of the contents of the other article present in either article, so they BOTH currently violate NPOV. Even if they are not merged, they still need to be amended so that they each contain summaries of the main points in the other article and the common rebuttals of their own arguments. Riversider2008 (talk) 16:33, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Reply. Thank you. Per WP:SPINOUT, which is also in POVFORK, it says: "Even if the subject of the new article is controversial, this does not automatically make the new article a POV fork". And being POV does not warrant a deletion, but only a content dispute. Here, I've tagged this article with ((pov)) template. Of course, the summary in the Kemalism's Criticism... section should be expanded a little bit (here I tagged it also). Dekisugi (talk) 16:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • Keep, still Keep... "Kemalism" article has got the summary or at least the introduction of this "Criticism of kemalism" article. like any other article of which the detail is summarized in the criticised article and the detail is particularly created for critic, kemalism article has got the summary of the detail and detail -as critic- is particularly created. The arguments which suggests that this article is POV should specifically state the reason and should specifically depict the reason. that debate took too long. there is no need for deletion.

  • Keep The article contains useful information. --Raphael1 00:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • POV FORK This is really a reply to Dekisugi's last comment, where he talks about WP Spinout. The text he quotes continues "the moved material must be replaced with an NPOV summary of that material. If it is not, then the "spinning out" is really a clear act of POV forking: a new article has been created so that the main article can favor some viewpoints over others." This is what I feel has happened here. Two articles have been created to accomodate two opposing viewpoints. To achieve NPOV either BOTH articles need substantial re-writes, summarising the main points in the other article, or the articles should be MERGED, keeping the main points of both. I favour Merging as I feel it would involve slightly less work, and lead to a single better article. Riversider2008 (talk) 13:27, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply. I agree with you. Both summary and detailed articles must conform with WP:NPOV. Again, POV does not warrant a deletion. I don't oppose merging, if the merged article does not reduce readability. When it is necessary to split the section into more detailed articles, then this article can be re-created again. However, I still stand for my keep opinion. Dekisugi (talk) 13:42, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Note to the closing admin. Wheew, there are a lot of POVFORK shouts and it's too bad that the creator has been blocked for a week for edit warring and 3RR. Regardless of what the author nationalistic-POV-biased intention when (s)he started the article, I investigated again WP:DEL#REASON for this AfD debate. There's no single item there as the basis for the article deletion. Not even for a POV! Now, if some editors feel the unreliability of sources given in this article, I'd looked one of the links from the article. Especially, this news article explains that Criticism of Kemalism is a notable topic, even for ECHR. There are other news articles from reliable publishers in this article. Basically, the article has reliable sources, not an original research (it's a notable term that is also coined by a European institution), but it's not neutral. Again, non-neutrality does not warrant a deletion. Dekisugi (talk) 13:49, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Being an attack page – my argument above – is even a criterion for speedy deletion (see Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#G10).  --Lambiam 23:14, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    No no. The CSD G10 is used for a page that is trying to disparage the subject. Now, is this criticism article trying to disparage somebody? Who? People who endores kemalism? I don't think so. Otherwise it has been deleted without this AfD. Dekisugi (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Furthermore, Wikipedia:Neutral point of view, an official policy, states in the section POV forks: "A POV fork is an attempt to evade NPOV policy by creating a new article about a certain subject that is already treated in an article, often to avoid or highlight negative or positive viewpoints or facts. This is generally considered unacceptable. The generally accepted policy is that all facts and major Points of View on a certain subject are treated in one article." (My emphasis by underlining.) This is a meaningless policy if POV forks cannot be deleted.  --Lambiam 23:21, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Well, there is no policy yet to delete a POV article, as long as the topic is notable. That's why I agreed to redirect or to merge this page to Kemalism and when that particular Criticism of Kemalism section is getting longer in the Kemalism article, it is necessary to split the article for the sake of readability. Deleting this article by only saying POVFORK will prohibit the re-creation of the same article when it needs to be separated from the main article. Or at the alternative point, just keep the article and invite other editors to make this article become balance and neutral. Dekisugi (talk) 09:18, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Unless the article is salted, it can be re-created later if this should become necessary (which appears somewhat unlikely to me). The article should then be named "Criticism of Kemalism" anyway. As to making the article "balanced": if you remove everything that is WP:OR and not WP:NPOV (including improperly sourced material because the source is not reliable or is represented incorrectly), not enough remains for even a stub.  --Lambiam 12:16, 10 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Dhaka Stock Exchange page for the company is here. According to this page the total market capitalization of this company is BDT 0.9bn which is approx USD 12.5 million. This may not sound large in US standard, but it is quite big in Bangladesh standard. Is this enough proof of notability? In my opinion, since Dhaka Stock Exchange is the largest Stock Exchange in Bangladesh, all listed company of this exchange should be inherently notable. Shouldn't they? Arman (Talk) 11:19, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I understand the point that you are making. But please try to look beyond the words of the policy and try to find the spirit of it. The criteria asks for verification from an independent secondary source. Dhaka Stock Exchange is an independent body who, by enlisting EHL, is attesting their notability. None the less, I have provided 2 more independent sources below. Arman (Talk) 12:04, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Bangladesh is part of the world too and it seems this company is significant and has had an impact there. Bangladesh is a country of 150 million people and Dhaka, with a population of 11 million is the 11th most populous city in the world. If the company had a significant effect i.e. "helped shape the face of Dhaka in '80s and '90s" then it seems to me to be notable. I would suggest that Bangladeshi newspapers would have a stream of articles about the company and the the article should therefore be verifiable. All we need is someone with access to these papers. -- Mattinbgn\talk 14:33, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Disagree: Searching the news archive of The Daily Star I get 63 hits (Serach results available here). Another daily The New Nation, which maintains a much smaller online database, gives 2 hits (here). So here you go- two independent secondary sources provided already. Arman (Talk) 11:47, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Keep The leading Bangladeshi real estate company is not non-notable by any standards. There are plenty reference of the company from respectable sources, too (unless you consider the highest circulating English-language daily edited by the head of the Asia News Network Bangladesh an unacceptable source). Also, check the number of companies listed with DSE. Bangladesh doesn't have an LSE that lists every company from every country, and mere listing is enough to assert notability. If non-western, non-northern articles are coming under fire, then we have a very sad encyclopedia on our hand. May be this requires intervention of WikiProject Countering systemic bias.

    • Reply: A humble request to all wikipedians from developed countries - please try to understnd the reality of Bangladesh. In this developing country (the 7th largest country in the world by population) the capital market is not very developed yet. The culture of hundreds of analysts covering different industries has not grown. Companies are not very comfortable discussing their internal affairs with journalists / outsiders either. As a result it is extremely difficult to find any newspaper/book/magazine publishing in-depth article on an established business venture. More so, because this appears to be "politically incorrect" - as people may tend to view that newspaper/magazine to be biased towards that company. As a result, even the most obviously dominating businesses in the country only make to newspaper when there is a related industry-wide news and the company executive is sought to provide expert opinion, or there is a scandal of some sort, or when the company makes important public announcements like declaring dividends, merger / acquisition etc. In a nutshell it is difficult to find non-trivial coverage of established businesses in Bangladeshi newspapers. Furthermore, of whatever coverage is there, probably 90%+ are in Bengali, not online and not systemaically archived. Given these, if we now knock-out a company that has 40% market share in the residential plot and appartment development business of the country as non-notable; and throw away the 63 hits it got on the "only online newspaper with a respectable archive" as trivial - then this will be an ideal example of systematically eliminating developing world articles. Just to get a feel of the level of contribution of this company do a mere comparison: the city of Jacksonville, Arkansas has 8,004 resident families - match this with - 13,000 residential plots and 3,500 completed apartments sold by EHL in last 40 years. Arman (Talk) 02:12, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment 40% market share, highest taxpayer in the sector, 620 acres of land, 24 housing projects, some 13,000 plots, pioneer in low cost housing, architect of changing the face of Dhaka... all that in non-notable? If trivial mention is the rationale, then let's understand that "trivial" is understood as a passing reference that is hardly relevant to the subject (like a gunman caught by the police in one of Eastern's housing projects, we have quite a few of that). But, many of the Google hits are about news that specifically refers to and discusses the subject (add 54 hits of New Age, the rising star of Bangladesh newspapers, to that). I guess, the maximum this article deserves is a ((refimprove)) tag. Aditya(talk • contribs) 03:34, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Anomalous operation[edit]

Anomalous operation (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Unreferenced definition of a term used by some paranormal believers (how many is unclear) to describe the a number of things that have no provable basis in fact. Also used in other senses, such as computing, where its use is as you'd expect (dicdef! dicdef!), but again not often, and that is not noted in this article anyway. Guy (Help!) 10:31, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'll go with Uncle G here, my experience is that he is generally (read: pretty much always) right. A single merged article for, say, terminology of parapsychology would be fine by me, it would also fix the weakness of anomalous cognition, which I think is pretty dire as an article. Combine them, source them, add the fact that the mainstream finds them laughable or simply ignores them, I think this will fix several problems at once so is sound reasoning. Guy (Help!) 20:25, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, at the very least MergeThe ground listed for deletion are not in line with Wikipedia policy and conflict with admin rulings * that Wikipedia can legitimately include entries on paranormal phenomona that exist as a belief even if they do not exist as an observable phenomona. It looks as if the only actual valid concern being raise here is WP:V, and I will fix that. By the time that you are reading this, I may already have done so. - perfectblue (talk) 09:22, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keepper Uncle G and perfectblue. Though the field and I have different views, I think if subjects exist and are notable and verifiable within their field then we should have an article on them. I'll try to patch this article too.--Lenticel (talk) 11:24, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into as-yet uncreated Parapsychology terminology. I agree with Uncle G and others, but would add that there are a number of parapsychology related terminology articles floating around that can be merged into one article. Many of them repeat the same basic information and it's not really necessary. More notable terms like extra-sensory perception and psychokinesis need expanded articles, but less notable terms such as this can do with one article linked from the main parapsychology page. There's no reason to delete them, but there's no reason to have split-off articles at this time. --Nealparr (talk to me) 05:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment, or rather Question: Is it alright to create Parapsychology terminology at this time? That wouldn't be considered circumventing an AfD discussion would it? I don't think it would because there's plenty of notable terms to put in it, and it doesn't just concern this term. It might though because it would render rogue articles like this one redundant. --Nealparr (talk to me) 06:00, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tacit extension[edit]

Unreferenced stub article, looks like a dictionary definition, but Google does not lead me to believe that this is a widely-used term. Guy (Help!) 10:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Specialized terminology often has room for expansion to an article beyond a dictionary definition and etymology. Keep for a while, try to get someone to improve it, and if it can't be done then delete per WP:NOT#DICT. About 1,000 Ghits for "Tacit extension" -wikipedia -wiki, so I'd give a very small benefit of the doubt TheBilly (talk) 10:38, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
A quasi-random sampling of the Google results showed that very few were about logic or mathematics; most simply used the words in their ordinary meanings, in colloquial or legal contexts. I'd be surprised if as many as 5% of the total results were about this concept. Admittedly, 5% of 1100 isn't too bad, but it's not great either. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:55, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Are you sure it was being used as a specific legal phrase rather than as two separate English words - an extension of something that in this case was tacit? WAS 4.250 (talk) 03:36, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep merge/delete - possible alternative might be to merge with the relevant projection article, if expansion is or becomes unlikely. Article needs to define the term a bit more precisely/clearly though, and did anybody notice the crazy vandalism going on in the history? Change: I change my "vote" to merge, although on the provision that the definition of this thing can be verified (otherwise, delete without prejudice). I've changed my mind because I took a closer look at the internets and other possible sources of verification/expansion of the article's content and things don't look promising (as others have mentioned). --Cheeser1 (talk) 01:03, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • delete unless both a definition and examples of its use can be properly sourced. I found no sources that did not lead to Awbrey. It may be the term is original with him and has yet to be adopted by the wider logic community. That would not make the terminology invalid; but it would make it an unacceptable neologism for wikipedia. WAS 4.250 (talk) 03:32, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice toward re-creation. The material is neither sourced nor clear, and I'd just as soon start from a blank page than from this sub-stub. If that happens to make the original author happy, so much the better. CRGreathouse (t | c) 03:51, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per CRGreathouse; this article, as it is, is totally useless and can only be fixed (if so desired) by starting over. But, like WAS, I found no uses in this meaning except in text by the now banned article creator, and so I suspect the article title is a neologism, and the article violates WP:NOR.  --Lambiam 09:40, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I figured out what the article is trying to say, which is a start. If we have a set A as a subset of X, the "tacit extension" of A to is . There is no reason that this concept needs to have its own article. If this is indeed a worthwhile term to define at all, I would redirect tacit extension to relation (mathematics) and give a clear definition there. But I am not yet convinced the term is used enough to justify even that. — Carl (CBM · talk) 13:26, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • For example, a search on google books for "tacit extension" mathematics does not yield any uses of the term in this sense, only colloquial uses. — Carl (CBM · talk) 15:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • That's actually what I was thinking too, when looking at the "definition" provided in the article. If anything, that means it's really not worth mentioning. It almost seems like two words that are just doing their thing separately - we can always extend some set to the largest (or "least committal") superset we know contains it. In fact, we may do so tacitly. --Cheeser1 (talk) 18:52, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. As Carl has pointed out, the article is trying to say that the tacit extension of a subset A of X to X×Y is A×Y. This usage of tacit extension appears to be a coinage of Jon Awbrey which has not found widespread use. Spacepotato (talk) 00:36, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice unsourced, never heard of it. Could be recreated with same or different meaning if it can be demonstrated that the phrase has currency somewhere as a term of art (rather than just as a nonce term or as two words combined with ordinary English semantics). --Trovatore (talk) 05:23, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete without prejudice. I fully agree with Trovatore. --Hans Adler (talk) 23:05, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Pragmatic maxim[edit]

Pragmatic maxim (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This reads as a personal essay on Peirce's pragmatic maxim, sourced entirely from one publication. The ton is all wrong ("seven ways of looking at.."), and it lacks any sources independent of the originator of the term. I flagged this for wider attention a while back, but it does not seem to have resulted in any kind of input. A redirect to Peirce or a merger of the small amount of usable text to a new possible article on the logic of Peirce would be fine, but I don't think this should stand as-is.

This page is a target for subjectively funny "oxymora" being added which make political, social etc. statements, such as "happily married". There is no well-defined criterion for inclusion or exclusion, and no verifiable criterion for putting an example in one section or another of the page. In the previous AfD, dividing the article into sections was viewed as an improvement; but as I see it, it increases the requirement for verification: we would need to be able to verify not only that something belongs on this page, but that it meets the criteria of a particular section of the page. Such well-specified verification is unlikely to be found. A limited number of good examples (not an unlimited number, not "any good examples" as John Vandenberg says) can be included in the Oxymoron article for illustrative purposes, and that will provide most of the value of this page -- the huge number of examples is not needed for either encyclopedic or entertainment value.

OK, I actually decided to do some research on this one and found out she's quite well known in Britain. She won a 2007 Lifetime Achievement Award at the UK Adult Film Awards, a 2007 Best Female Actress award from the Erotic Trade Only show (a British industry awards show for adult films), and her film, The Affair, won the Best DVD Award from the 2006 ETO show. With all those things coupled and her appearance on Skins, I think that makes her notable, since she satisfies criteria one of WP:PORNBIO: "Has won or been a serious nominee for a well-known award."

Seemingly non-notable band. Speedy declined by an admin on the basis that there is assertion (though i disagree – "releasing a self-titled EP" is not an assertion of notability, endless non-notables have done that) so here we are. tomasz. 08:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, fails WP:MUSIC. Lankiveil (talk) 10:45, 3 January 2008 (UTC).[reply]
  • Speedy delete. No assertion of notability. I don't know how anyone can construe "released a self-titled EP" as an assertion of notability. That's not in WP:BAND anywhere. Having a record doesn't mean anythng, as anyone can self-publish or publish on a no-name label. WP:BAND clearly lays out requirements that they publish on a "major label or one of the more important indie labels", and it requires two or more releases (read point 5 carefully), so one EP undeniably fails here, and they don't pass on any of the other criteria TheBilly (talk) 10:48, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • WP:BAND doesn't apply to WP:CSD#A7. CSD A7 dictates that something must have no assertion of notability whatsoever and applies to speedy deletion only; the music notability guidelines state what consensus generally accepts is the standard for inclusion in normal deletion discussions. WP:CSD#A7 operates outside any notability guideline whatsoever, as the bar is "an assertion of notability", not "what guidelines say is notable". Daniel 10:56, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • Yes, I realize this, and I can read. However, "released a self-titled EP" doesn't sound like an assertion of notability. That sounds like something that is very open to interpretation, so I'd call it "a vague implication of notability" TheBilly (talk) 11:01, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        • "[A] vague implication of notability" is sufficient to avoid WP:CSD#A7 as written :) Daniel 11:05, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
          • I must be the only one who thinks that "assertion" and "implication" are different words. The article doesn't argue that they are important because they have a release; it mentions they have a release, and then it's up to the reader to construe that as important, depending on whether you consider self-published releases important or not (wikipedia doesn't). "influential", "popular", "groundbreaking", "commercially successful", "innovative", would be assertions of importance. But, whatever, this is getting off-topic and polluting the debate which will turn out Delete anyway, just not speedy.

        • But "released a self-titled EP" is still neither such an assertion nor even such a vague implication. i could record four cover songs on my computer tonight, burn it to a CD tomorrow and give it to someone Saturday. This would be a self-titled EP. i would still be completely non-notable per WP:BAND and the fact that i had recorded this self-titled EP would not assert anything to the contrary. tomasz. 15:46, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

9/11 denial[edit]

9/11 denial (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

WP:OR, WP:POVFORK of 9/11 Truth Movement. While the view has merit, WP:SNOW applies. Weregerbil (talk) 08:35, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - Changed my mind... I stand by what I wrote below about the similarities to Holocaust denial. However, if it's just a content fork with no clear plan to differentiate it from the original article then this was done in the wrong way (i.e. via a copy-and-paste move) rather than by a Requested Move proposal. The place for this discussion is not AFD as I insisted earlier but rather as part of a Requested Move proposal. --Richard (talk) 09:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy delete The view has no merit. Like you said, POVFORK, but also an attack. This is a copy of an existing page 9/11 truth movement, reworded to be disparaging to those considered part of the group "9/11 truth movement". Read the articles side by side. The user simply made small wording changes, disparaging this group as "denialists". I have no strong feelings about this or that 9/11 page, I merely saw +52,654 in the recent changes. When someone creates a 50K page out of nowhere, a reasonable person like myself tends to give it more than a cursory glance, and realize "golly gee whiz, I think maybe, just maybe, this isn't a legitimate page at all". It's not an "attempt at a neutral article", because it sprung up out of nowhere, with POV-based wording changes TheBilly (talk) 08:42, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • It is no more an 'attack' than Holocaust denial is an attack on Holocaust deniers. If you find the the article lacking NPOV in some aspects then freely accept the invitation to remedy it. But don't just smack down those who are bold enough to develop some distinguished content in the encyclopedia. And don't just reactively act to kill and suppress what emotionally you feel you don't like and can't control.Neverneutral (talk)
  • Comment - Reserving judgment for now, this comment simply presents my perspective on this issue. I disagree with Weregerbil that WP:SNOW applies.
It's the height of arrogance to say something is WP:SNOW -before- there have even been any votes on it. If that was the case then why have others come out here admitting that the Holocaust denial analogy has at least some persuasive merit. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neverneutral (talk • contribs)
TheBilly's reasoning about 50K articles not reasonably appearing out of nowhere is valid. Clearly, Wikipedia should not have two pages with nearly identical content. The reason that I denied the speedy delete request originally was that I was not aware of the other page. However, after being advised of the existence of the other page, I still felt that it was not obvious which page title was NPOV and which was POV. Is it NPOV to assert that there is a 9/11 Truth Movement and POV to assert that this is really 9/11 denialism? If so, then why do we have an article called Holocaust denial? Why not call it Holocaust Truth Movement or some such title? At some point, Wikipedia's NPOV stance has to avoid giving a POV undue weight and reflect the consensus of scholarly opinion. That's why we have an article titled Holocaust denial which documents the phenomenon which exists even if the arguments of the Holocaust denialists are not generally accepted as valid. --Richard (talk) 08:52, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
So it starts as 50k. So what. By critical evaluation it subsequently gets larger or smaller depending on what contributors coming by essentially must stay or must go. And the only reason it comes on the scene at first blush as rather large and with some content in common with the 'truth' article is that i'd made quite a few changes but then I saved it while I had to answer the phone and before I came back and made quite a few more changes. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Neverneutral (talk • contribs)
  • Well, the reason I disgareed with you wasn't over the POV-nature of the article. I wouldn't try to delete Holocuast Denial, and I didn't try to delete 9/11 truth movement. I don't have a problem with those articles. They have a long history of a completely different nature, and any content and neutrality problems should be progressively worked on. The reason this article caught my attention was its highly suspicious nature, and the reason I nominated it for speedy deletion (which I would never think appropriate for "Holocaust Denial" or "9/11 truth movement") was not that it was non-neutral, but that it was non-neutral and part of an attack. If "denialist" isn't dramatic enough, then replace it in your mind with other accusations like "defeatist", "pinko commie", and so on. It seems clear that the term "denialist" was used throughout this new, slightly modified version as a politically polarized disparaging term like "liberal pansy" or "conservative nutjob". Unlike articles about abstract ideas or general classifications about beliefs, however, (liberl vs conservative, any given religion, etc), this is about a specific group (although apparently only loosely organized), and so since it was targeting a group with disparaging language, it seems to be an attack TheBilly (talk) 09:11, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • 'Denial' as a concept is not perjorative and you know that very well because we have Holocaust denial to cover people putting out false stories about the deaths of millions of people in Europe in WW2. Very unworthy also from that point on for you to be putting these other epithets in my mouth ('pinko', 'pansy', 'nutjob'). The article is about the acknowledged phenomena of 9/11 denial, not any other imaginative epithet you want to dream up.Neverneutral (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom, seems like a very clear POV fork.P4k (talk) 09:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy Delete because it's a copy pasted text from 9/11 Truth Movement with changing words from truth to denial (and other similar words). It's a biased POV from the creator. At first, (s)he tried to create the fork 9/11 denialism article, which I redirected to "9/11 Truth Movement" and I asked him/her to file a request at WP:RM if (s)he wished to change the article name. (S)he did and the request is still there at this time, while the article has been speedy deleted "(CSD G6: Housekeeping revert copy/paste page-move vandalism)". So this article is a re-created one and is still valid for CSD G6. Dekisugi (talk) 09:29, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • No need to delete We have concluded a renaming discussion on the talkpage of 9/11 Truth movement and the outcome has been the recommendation (by at least 2-1 margin) that we will rename it as 9/11 denial. 9/11 denial is a real and acknowledged phenomena. Just imagine you were one of the families of the 3000 people who died and people went about trying to say that, effectively, they died for a lie. And you're all-too-speedy to try and stifle this awareness because substantial work has been done which distinguishes the content and focus of this article from that of the misnamed "truth movement". Seriously show some respect for the dead and have a look at yourself people. Deleting this and giving the opportunity and precedent for others to reframe/retitle Holocaust denial as the Holocaust Truth Movement. Is that what you are about?Neverneutral (talk) 10:09, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete per WP:V - the official policy which overrides the notability guideline. Only one source - which is not enough for an encyclopedia article. His name turns up nothing in Google, Google Books, Google Scholar, Google News etcetera. What is he the king of anyway? The article doesn't explain that at all, and it doesn't have an article. Could be sly bogus references and a hoax, or might not be.

    • Strong Comment I have changed my view due to some new info I found. Firstly, according to the cited source, it is actually King Kulaxingu, not Kambamjiji (that being the first name). Secondly, I have just found a reference to a King Kambamba Kulaxingo of Baixa de Cassanje, who died in January 2006, in an announcement on the UK Angola Embassy website. Based on these facts, there seem to be a chance that King Kambamba Kulaxingo is the same person as King Kambamjiji Kulaxingu. As a result, it would seem wise to further investigate the matter before deleting the article, as there might be more references on the subject. Stephenchou0722 (talk) 03:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per WP:V, as well. The single reference in that book is too fleeting and obscure. Maybe they simply transcribed his name in a non-standard way and that's why we can't find anything more about him. But it's not a good idea to have an article for that one reference (other people could copy Wikipedia and confuse the situation even more). • Anakin (contribs • complaints) 13:44, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • KeepHow many times do we have to go over this? Google is not an indicator of notability.

SCAR (programming language)[edit]

AfDs for this article:
SCAR (programming language) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

Been some time since the prev AfD which resulted in no consensus.

I bring this issue up again because I believe that this program has no notability outside of RuneScape cheating (which, again, is not particularly notable in and of it self)

The claim that SCAR has uses outside of RuneScape is heavily debatable. "SCAR programming" has 3 hits on Google News, none of which appear to have anything to do with the program. The claim of number of users and usability (and how it gets people into programming) are unverifiable and irrelevant respectively. The getting people into programming argument could be made for a number of languages, HTML, JS, PHP, BASIC, shell, etc. all could be used to introduce someone to basic programming theory, i.e., if-then-else, loops.

In addition, the page lacks reliable sources to establish notability.

Although I am not particularly familiar with the SCAR CDE, nor Pascal, I would like to bring up what StephenP123 (talk · contribs) said in this diff.

I'd also like to bring up this quote:

SCAR's syntax and structure lie very close to that of its parent language, Pascal. A major difference in its use is that it is almost necessary to use routines from an inbuilt library.

SCAR appears to potentially (never mind "potentially", it says so in the first paragraph!) just be Pascal with a very nice internal library for RS cheating. OSbornarfcontributionatoration 04:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Article tagged for CSD because of notability concerns. I deleted the article per CSD A7, but received a request to undelete the article for a procedural AFD, which I complied with, hence this AFD. I personally will remain neutral on the subject. Keilanatalk(recall) 04:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Wow, It asserts no notability but there are seemingly reliable sources. I honestly don't know about this one. I think I'll go with delete, just because the article itself doesn't assert notability. Just because it's Korean but in English doesn't make it suitable for inclusion. 04:14, 3 January 2008 (UTC) Change to keep, per Noroton below. It does have sources, and while it doesn't currently assert notability, it could in the future. J-ſtanContribsUser page 04:21, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep meets WP:N and WP:ORG with mulitple, reliable, independent sources. This is good enough even for a Wikipedia article about even a local chapter of a larger organization. Not much of an article now, but that may change and that's not deletion criteria. Perhaps the nominator could expand on notability objections. Assertion of notability is implicit when multiple sources are used.Noroton (talk) 04:16, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep with Total Project Complete Basically, Kyung-Chik Han was awarded the 1992 Templeton Prize for founding Young Nak Presbyterian Church. And Bill Majors, an American missionary to Seoul, was made an Honorary Citizen of Seoul for creating an English ministry, International Worship in English, at Young Nak Presbyterian Church, an effort that was the final fruit of Han's achievement. We have two notable men, two notable accomplishments, and one vision. Han was born in Korea and studied in the US and Korea. Majors was born in the US and studied in the US and Korea. Both men worked together to shape a notable two-pronged organization that bridges countries and continents. Over the last ten days, I've tried to make the firm beginnings of four articles that tell this entire story, complete with all the necessary sources that prove both accuracy and notability. I apologize if I've been short or gruff with anyone, but I get upset when people seem to doubt my respect for the integrity of Wikipedia; I've tried my best to make articles that meet its ideals of accurate and important information.

Contested CSD for notability. He was involved in Australian politics, but I'm not sure if his level of involvement makes him notable. Strictly a procedural nomination, I have no preference due to my unfamiliarity with the subject. Keilanatalk(recall) 03:43, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep He was a member of the Victorian Legislative Assembly, which is notable enough for me... although the notability of Australian state politicians is not, as far as I know, as clear-cut as that of federal MPs or Senators. Most of the article seems to be sourced from here, and that page lists several references such as Who's Who in Australia 1968-1983 and a 1978 book called Notable Australians. It looks like there's enough verifiable information to sustain a decent article in any case. --Canley (talk) 04:19, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep much the same as Canley. From WP:BIO "A person is generally notable if they meet any of the following standards: Politicians who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office, and members and former members of a national, state or provincial legislature". Also as a Catholic in the Liberal Party in the 1960s he would be one of a very small group! -- Mattinbgn\talk 04:30, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Agree with both of the above. Membership of a state parliament certainly allows notability. Frickeg (talk) 04:51, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Tagged for speedy deletion as a hoax, several links on WP about this. Unsure, a Google search doesn't turn up much. Keilanatalk(recall) 02:24, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Fails WP:V miserably. A Google search turns up nothing other than Wikipedia. It's a waste of time debating this as it's an obvious hoax and could qualify for a speedy as nonsense or vandalism.--h i s s p a c e r e s e a r c h 07:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete no none wikipedia results for a google search indicates a hoax - Dumelow (talk) 18:22, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete agree with all above. Otolemur crassicaudatus (talk) 18:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • let it stay having grown up in the town, I can attest to it being a local legend and was careful to label it as a legend. I was also careful to state it has never been documented. However, like another reference I made in the underlying grant town article, the Telltale Lilac Bush is a local book of ghost stories--another topic that can't be documented, can be a hoax in some opinions, but is authenticated by a published book. Since Wikipedia contains other articles on legends, etc., I think this is an appropriate explanation of a local legend. Otherwise, delete Bigfoot. If the whole world was on google, why bother to edit? Burnsfessler (talk) 01:57, 4 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Item Should Remain As a person in a neighboring city, I heard of this local legend from my father and Uncles who grew up in the town. I agree with the statment above about properly stating that it was a legend and not documented. I was very glad to see this on Wikipedia and have since sent the article to several people who know of this legend from that and neighboring towns. If required I would be able to obtain a picture of the place the legend is believed to be focused, and where many local kids ranging from middle through highschool go looking for the Grant Town Goon to this day. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.33.189.220 (talk) 02:37, 4 January 2008 (UTC) — 68.33.189.220 (talk) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

AfDs for this article:
Alicia Miguel (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This article was deleted via AfD about a year ago. The content of the current version is different enough from the deleted version that I'm not comfortable deleting it as reposted material, but the similarities between the two don't leave much doubt that it's the same person. The current version of the article appears to be notable at a glance, but it's a forgery. Most of the "modeling career" section was copied from the Alessandra Ambrosio article, along with the claim of being an ambassador for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Most/all of the references and external links were also copied from the Alessandra Ambrosio article, with the names changed to "Alicia Miguel". A google search for "Alicia Miguel" + "supermodel" = virtually nothing. --Bongwarrior (talk) 02:04, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is no notability shown, no content other than an unverifiable plot summary. I would just speedy this, but I haven't found a category to throw it under. American Patriot 1776 (talk) 01:36, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment It seems that this is a part of a series of books made by T. A. Barron. I don't know how notable this writer is in America but his article doesn't state much notability. The nom might be interested in looking into The Lost Years of Merlin a related article that has plot problems as well. I will not vote for now since I do not have enough knowledge in American litt. I suggest more editors knowledgeable in American literature look this up. --Lenticel (talk) 02:41, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Speedy keep The time between creation and this AfD was 7 minutes. Come on, give the editor a chance to write the article. This is his first writing at wikipedia. A quick google search on the part of the nom would have shown that the book likely has notability. I found a number of reviews of both the book and the series. You can't expect the article to be good to go in 7 minutes when written by a new editor. Nor should you put something up for deletion until you checked to see if it is likely notable or at least tagging the article for a bit and letting others fix it.

Contested prod. User has no notability. All links are to self published sites and don't contain any information for example one will say "Review" but leads to basically a blank bio page. I can find no sources to conform claims of notability, nothing on the people he has claimed he worked, nothing on international touring, nothing on his book. Also kind of strange that anon that claims to be a fan of his showed up 10 minutes before he logged in to blank his talk page. Ridernyc (talk) 00:59, 3 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
