Delete per WP:NEO (it's a neologism) and WP:DICTDEF (Wikipedia is not a dictionary). The term isn't in the Oxford Online Dictionary nor Merriam Webster Online, nor in The Cambridge Dictionary of Philosophy (1999) nor The Oxford Dictionary of Philosophy (1994). The only dictionary I could find it in is a non-scholarly publication: the Dictionary of Atheism, Skipticism, & Humanism (2006). Out of the 10,000 libraries covered in Worldcat, only 187 carry the dictionary the term is in. In the review of that dictionary in Reference & User Services Quarterly (used by librarians to select books for their collections), it stated "cannot be recommended as a scholarly reference work. A better alternative would be to rely on general dictionaries and encyclopedias of philosophy and theology or to use The Encyclopedia of Unbelief." Well, it's not in the The Encyclopedia of Unbelief (1985), nor in the Encyclopedia of Philosophy (MacMillan, 2006), nor the Routledge Encyclopedia of Philosophy (1998). I also couldn't find any articles on eupraxsophy as a topic in any major publication. In the New York Times for instance, the term is mentioned in articles about the guy who coined the term, Paul Kurtz. But WP:NEO states: "To support the use of (or an article about) a particular term we must cite reliable secondary sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term." The Transhumanist 22:50, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Paul Kurtz did come up with it in 2004 (reference) and the article as presently written is a hopeless dicdef, so the nominator's comments are correct, particularly where he says "we must cite reliable sources such as books and papers about the term—not books and papers that use the term."
But having said that, the AfD process is for determining whether this title should be a redlink on Wikipedia. And it shouldn't, because a substantial source does exist (here), so it may be possible to write a full-length article about the subject.
Of course, until someone does, eupraxsophy should redirect to Paul Kurtz, since it's a plausible search term.—S Marshall Talk/Cont 23:20, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

North America-centric list, used mainly as a linkfarm to link to nearly every drive-in's website. Minimal attempts have been made to source the article or remove the huge number of links. While there are plenty of theater directories online, most of them are based on user-submitted information and therefore not reliable, so I have no idea how a list of this sort could even be sourced. Furthermore, this list seems to be a big violation of WP:NOT#DIR and I don't see how it's any different from, say, a list of store locations (which is also not allowed per WP:NOT#DIR). I'll admit that I'm interested in drive-in theaters myself, but I'm not going to let WP:ILIKEIT stand in the way of a list that can't easily be sourced.

Procedural nom for IP editor. Reason for nom (per talk page): "The article should be deleted, as that language does not exist at all.

And it appears that we have. Here's the language family as laid out on page 133 of ISBN 9780521471664:
A supporting source is Thomas Albert Sebeok (1976). Current Trends in Linguistics. Mouton. p. 485., which in prose form says the same thing: Nuclear Polynesian subdivides into Eastern Polynesian and a Samoic Outlier group. All of the languages east of Samoa fall into the former group except Pukapukan, which is in the latter group.
The Pukapukan language exists. Ironically, its (currently incomplete) infobox should contain, in the language family section, what this article's infobox does contain. But there's no evidence in sources that this language, as described, is recognized. The Pukapukan mentioned in the sources is the one of the Northern Cook Islands.
This is unverifiable. And the disambiguation at Pukapukan needs fixing. There's no ambiguity, and there aren't multiple subjects. This is in fact an alternative name for Pukapukan language, albeit one that is mainly used informally, with linguists tending to prefer "Pukapukan" from what I can find. Redirect.

This article was created earlier this month and tagged straight away for conflict of interest and notability, mainly because it appears to be a relative of David Hurst who is writing an article. Since then, the same author has added further text which not only does nothing to address the matter of notability but goes even further away from neutral point of view, the worst offender being the sentence "Nevertheless, it was the child who shyly said that the Emperor had no clothes who turned out to have had the better view of the matter." I would re-write the article, but having had a look through Ghits, Gnews and Gbooks, I can't find anything to support notability - just purchase sites, wiki mirrors, one review on a possible self-published site, and a few trivial mentions.

Comment One has trouble seeing why mascots are significant enough, except for a handful of examples that have earned media coverage over many years, to merit mention at all, let alone meet encyclopedic standards for significance. This particular one is thus far unreferenced, and turns up no Google hits--what's to merge? Agreed that this was likely done as a lark. JNW (talk) 15:56, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Declining db-spam deletion; taking to AfD. The taggers split on this one, and I'd like to get feedback on notability requirements for restaurants. A surprising number of ghits, but do restaurant reviews = notability? - Dan Dank55 (push to talk) 03:09, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
The result was merge to Detroit Public Schools#Zoned PreK-8 schools. –Juliancolton | Talk 02:49, 26 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This doesn't appear to be a notable school. A redirect to Detroit Public Schools should replace this article. I will be happy to retract this AFD if evidence of notability is found. WhisperToMe (talk) 02:47, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The salvageable content of this article (ie, the material that does not misrepresent its sources in order to puff up the term "Hamastan") should be merged to Hamas, Governance of the Gaza Strip, and whichever other articles could stand it. The article itself should be deleted as a pointless violation of numerous WP policies. <eleland/talkedits> 01:49, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]Created terms that add common prefixes or suffixes (such as non– or –ism) to existing words can add clarity, and this may be acceptable in some cases. If not done carefully, however, this practice can result in new terms that are misleading, ambiguous, offensive, or that lend undue weight to a particular point of view. (For instance, adding –ism to a word can sometimes be offensive, implying a belief system or political movement. It may also lead readers to believe there is an established school of thought on a topic where there is not.) Where editors disagree about the use of these neologisms it is best to err on the side of not using them.
[...]
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.
Condense and Merge per LinguistatLarge, splitting material between Hamas, Gaza Strip and/or Palestinian Authority where appropriate. Hamastan is just a word with pejorative connotations for the Gaza Strip under Hamas control. Tiamuttalk 18:41, 23 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the references, I see two youtube videos, the game developers web site, two decent pages, and a thread on the Blockland Forum. Doesn't look notable to me. gordonrox24 (talk) 01:01, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Since I opened this AFD, The article has been expanded greatly, but in that expansion no new references have been added. All information without source or reference can and will be challenged and or removed.--gordonrox24 (talk) 13:23, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: An A7 CSD tag was placed on the article by User:Stifle. User:Ged UK declined saying that the article is about software. When asked, he said people would probably disagree with his decision, but he is sticking to it. The question is are we dealing with blockland as a piece of software, or as a website. Web sites are eligible for A7, but Software is not.--gordonrox24 (talk) 22:09, 25 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The result was Delete Unsourced bio. None of the sources in the article tie this person to the specific activities and appearances alleged.

This article fails the WP:NOTABILITY guideline. There is almost no literature on this relatively obscure phrase. Within the broader spectrum of heraldry, landscape heraldry is essentially a 19th century fad that can be summed up in about one paragraph, as evidenced by this page, which consists of a few sentences and a massive picture gallery that includes every example of landscape heraldry that could be found on WM Commons. This article does not represent a potential that is helpful to Wikipedia readers or the Heraldry Project, due to its lack of notability. Wilhelm_meis (talk) 12:36, 12 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
