Non-notable aspect of a television game show. WP:NOTINHERITED, and this is a clear example of a minor, non-notable feature of production for a television show. Main television show article does not even mention Jeopardy! Clue Crew within the article.

Sottolacqua (talk) 22:17, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Jeopardy!. The Clue Crew is an important and recurring part of Jeopardy and should be mentioned in the article. There are various news and non-jeopardy.com results in Google, however I'm not sure it would be enough to warrant their own break-out article yet. -Addionne (talk) 23:00, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep; the point here is that the main Jeopardy! article is already large and bloated; this is significant information pertinent to the show but for which it is appropriate to spin-off into a sub-article. AfDing this article will only result in the merging of the information into the main article, bloating it, and compelling it to be spun off again.

Subject does not appear to meet the Notability (sport) requirements, particularly those reserved for High School sports people; High school and pre-high school athletes are notable only if they have received, as individuals, substantial and prolonged coverage that is (1) independent of the subject and (2) clearly goes beyond WP:ROUTINE coverage.

'Honourable' is a standard title for certain politicians and lesser nobility in the UK. It's always abbreviated to 'Hon'. I must confess to reading this new-to-me version as 'horrible' at first. As to handshakes and such, it's quite possible to be a very minor speaker at something, or to simply BS one's way in, and get photographed. It is also marvellous what they do with Photoshop these days. (They, not me. I've got it and simply can't understand it.) Peridon (talk) 21:47, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Honorary means unpaid, or paid a nominal sum for legal reasons (something like 1 Re per month). In the case of a university degree, it means no course has been attended, but the degree is awarded based on outside actions. This is an honorary position - i.e. unpaid. (I used to be a lexicographer....) Peridon (talk) 18:10, 23 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response. The uniform appears to be for the Home_Guard_(India), a paramilitary organization. You can see here some officers of the home guard - the colours and the hat appear to be the same. The article claims he holds the title of "Commanding Officer", Civil Defence in the infobox.
More Factfinding:
  • ...Shri Kashmiri Lal Jain, Secretary - Rajya Sabha, Parliament of India early 1960s)...: rajyasabha.nic.in - the official site of the Parliament of India, has no mention of anyone by the name Shri Kashmiri Lal Jain or any combination of these names. They have a list and a short bio of all members since 1952.
  • ...He is Fellow of Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce (FRSA) England.... Here I think we are talking about the younger Jain - but http://royalsociety.org - the website for this society, maintains a record of all past and current fellows. No Jains are listed in this record.
  • Smt. Ganga Devi - Neither of the Indian legislative houses, Rajya Sabha or Lok Sabha have this person listed on their website.

Important note Anyone can be an FRSA for the cost of joining. FRS is a different matter. They are not the same organisation at all. The Royal Society is for Science; the Royal Society for the encouragement of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce is for what it says. I don't doubt that he is entitled to use FRSA. I could be if I joined them and paid my fee. So could you. FRS is an important thing. (So is the unrelated RA - from the Royal Academy of Arts.) FRSA is anybody's to get.

This article was PRODded in 2008 with the reason "Probable hoax, no mention of a second son for King Faisal I of Iraq in genealogies on the Iraqi Royal Family", and deleted. Undeletion has been requested by an IP, so I have restored it and bring it here. I have found nothing online that did not appear to be a Wikipedia mirror. The official Jordan government page on the Hashemite Royal Family shows that King Faisal I had only one son, Ghazi. The only link in the article goes to an organization called "Royal Academy of Science International Trust" which appears to be real and claims to have been founded by Prince Mohammed; but per WP:V we should not keep this without a reliable source for the claim that Faisal I had a second son. The SPA author also created articles about the Prince's son (PRODded) and daughter (deleted at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Princess Nisreen El-Hashemite, where other evidence is cited that Faisal I had only one son).

Yes, they have an interest in a royal founder, so that they can put "Royal" in their title; I certainly would not regard them, unsupported, as a reliable enough source to counter the Jordanian one above, plus [10], [11], [12] etc. JohnCD (talk) 20:13, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

There is also no shortage of sources discussing the line of succession of the Royal House of Iraq. In 1958, following the death of King Faisal II, that title in pretense was uniformly considered to have passed to Prince Zeid bin Hussein. According to the November 1943 Iraqi constitution, agnatic heirs of King Hussein of Hejaz would only become eligible for succession to the Iraqi throne in the case of the extinction of the agnatic line of King Faisal I. Following Zeid's death in 1970, the title in pretense passed to his son Ra'ad bin Zeid (notwithstanding a completing claim by Sharif Ali bin al-Hussein, also descended from Hussein of Hejaz, but not via the male line), as confirmed by the government of Jordan. Regardless, neither Zeid nor Ra'ad nor Ali would have had any claim if there was a living second son of King Faisal I. It's been over 50 years since the death of King Faisal II; I'm pretty sure they would have noticed by now. Serpent's Choice (talk) 20:51, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
When Ghazi died in 1939, Faisal II was only three years old; if there had been a living brother of Ghazi, as the young King's uncle and nearest male relative, he would surely have been Regent and been in the history books for that reason; but the Regent was actually 'Abd al-Ilah, a cousin of Ghazi.

I am proposing this for deletion. It has been at the bottom of the unpatrolled list for 30 days and if nothing is done it will tacitly default to keep. This is a copyvio through translation from the French of various blocks of texts taken from http://limousin-grandmont.com/cariboost1/index.htm. What the bibliographical sources in the footnotes contain, w have no way of knowing, and the links to the maps are not relevant. A few sentences in the lead have been taken and translated from the fr.Wiki article. The creator /translator of the article may have a COI. Kudpung (talk) 16:58, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Notability is very tenuous. None of the books published by this organization appear to be notable; ergo, the company likely is not notable either. A quick Google search ([13]) shows that the only sources that have written about this company are its own official website (of course) as well as several FRINGE websites, such as that of Israel Shamir. None of the sources appear to be reliable, or sufficient to establish notability. Neither the Southern Poverty Law Center nor the Anti-Defamation League has commented on the subject, nor have any mainstream news outlets. Anti-Semitic, yes. Notable, no.

With a prize pot of £100,000 and final events taking place at the O2 Arena, this festival should be more notable, but apparently it isn't. Only one significant result in gnews: a local paper covering this year's winner (along the lines of "home town band makes good"). All provided references are from primary sources (the festival's own website and its MySpace page). WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 14:24, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi there, this article was uploaded today and I am unsure why exactly it is being marked for deletion. It seems the point of view of Dan61 is that a search on gnews is the way to determine whether an article should stay up. Is this correct? Thanks —Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.41.3.220 (talk) 14:56, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply The article is marked for deletion for two reasons:
  1. It is a direct copy of the text at http://surfacefestival.wordpress.com/2010/10/05/surface-festival-moves-forward-into-2011/, which makes it a copyright violation.
  2. The Surface Festival does not seem to have received any significant coverage in reliable sources (as indicated by a lack of results when using the Google News search engine on the phrase "Surface Festival") which is the basic criterion for inclusion in Wikipedia. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 15:03, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok, that's fair enough. The blog is owned by the contributor, so it's not a copyright issue. If you Google "Surface Festival" there are lots of worthy news stories on blogs etc, however, if you feel that the Festival is not worthy of Wiki and does not fit your criterion please delete as appropriate. However, we would be sad to see it go :) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.174.235 (talk) 17:44, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Reply Just because someone says that "I own that content so there is no copyright" that doesn't make it so. Since Wikipedia accounts are essentially anonymous, there is no way to verify that the person is telling the truth. There are ways to donate copyrighted material, but that will not address the notability issue. Blogs are not generally considered reliable sources, as there is no editorial fact-checking process. Lack of coverage in any legitimate media is problematic for a festival that purports to be so extensive. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 17:52, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Dan, The reason there is not much out there in terms of “news” is because the Surface Festival launched on 1st October 2010. Therefore it has only been around for 19 days. In 2011 the Festival claims 500 shows, 24 global sponsors, 14 cities across the U.K. and Europe and £100,000 of prizes to be won at the o2 in London. Over the coming months one will see major articles about the event in key publications that are relevant to the music industry. The news stories about this event will grow substantively in the coming months. May I suggest to you therefore that it would be wise to keep the article and to reassess its suitability in a month or so.

In respect of the copyrighted material, I completely agree with you that it is impossible to ascertain whether permission has been granted unless proof is given. Therefore I can arrange for an email from Surface Festival to be sent tomorrow to Wiki confirming permission for the material to be used. If a reference is required on the page we can add that too. Please advise on the best course of action. Thanks for your time and assistance in this matter. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.174.235 (talk) 18:38, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If the festival has just launched, it is probably not yet notable, although it may become so. Claims that the organizers make about the possibilities of this festival are not reliable sources. It could well be that the first venue turns out so badly that all of the sponsors pull out and the festival will die there. Since Wikipedia is not a crystal ball, the presumed future notability of an event cannot be used to justify its coverage in Wikipedia. As for the copyright issues, you can pursue that if you wish, but given the notability issues (or lack thereof), it may not be worth your efforts. WikiDan61ChatMe!ReadMe!! 19:05, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Your suggestion is complete nonsense and of course will not happen. Clearly the article will be removed, therefore please feel free to remove the article as soon as possible. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.5.174.235 (talk) 19:19, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

While we are waiting on the outcome can we remove the massive red box at the top of the article which suggests the page is about to be deleted. It looks messy and ruins the article.

Does not appear notable as it is, even though he has worked with some who apparently are.

Not notable? He played on 5 Grammy nominated albums, and was one of the most well respected side men in the business. To be notable is not just to be famous. Some of the best musicians in the world are mostly sidemen. His contributions to a great number of blues albums is definitely a mark of notoriety. He was an arranger, composer, musician and author. He was a teacher. Through all those things, he impacted a number of people. Again, he was continually asked to perform and record with the biggest names in the blues industry. That's notable. The current list of recording credits is nowhere near complete, he has played on hundreds of records, and has toured with the best blues musicians in the world.

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

A single-source article where the main author fails to follow Wikipedia guidelines in many respects, despite discussion on Talk page. While the article has multiple references, the topic is about some difference from standard procedures, where there is only a single source for this idea, and where this idea is not actually explained. There are many other problems. My suggestion is Userfy rather than deletion, but there seem many hurdles to cross before this article could be made acceptable. Melcombe (talk) 12:46, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

To All[edit]

As Melcombe said, this article is from a single soruce. Right, since so far there is only one paper in a conference proceedings (Note: please see Correction below ----Yuanfangdelang (talk) 14:05, 25 October 2010 (UTC)). However, the ideas as well as the analytical logic of the new method are right. The current ones take an optimization to determine the threshold as well as the expectation of piecewise models. This is wrong. Why? The segmented variabel X, the combined residuals R of all piecewise models and the matrix M of the piecewise regression coefficients are all random variables in the data iteration for searching the unknown threshold. How can we use the min(R) to determine the expectation of the M, E(M)? Is the correspondence between the min(R) and the E(M) a certain correspondence? The answer is NOT. It is a random correspondence. What corresponds to the E(M) is the E(R) but not the min(R). Thus, the current methods are theoretically incorrect in Mathematics!!![reply]

The second serious mistake is the assumption of the enforced continuity. This is not a statistical hypothesis, no one can assume the continuity in a random space if the unknown threshold(s) exist in it. In a staitstical point of view, we need a probabilistic inference for the continuity.

Since the optimization is wrong, and the continuity cannnot be enforcedly assumed, we cannot take the current methods to estimate the unknown thresholds. We must find another way.

No one has ever doubted the current methods. Ligong Chen is the first and the only one.

I strongly urge you to retain these new ideas so that more and more people could have an opportunity to realize the mistakes in the current system. However if you think that this article violate the wiki rules due to some original researches, I can eliminate the part of "Preperation of Concepts".

I have invited many people to discuss the new analytical logic and the new method. Actually the new method had been discussed with many statisticians at the two conferences (2007 JSM and 2009 JSM), no one could deny it. I believe that more and more people will accept it.

Due to my English writing skill is poor, I wish someone could help it and clean up all linguistic issues.

Anyway, please give me a last notice before you delete this article from the wikipedia if you insist to delete it. I would like to make a copy before the deletion.

Thanks a lot! ----Yuanfangdelang (talk) 04:47, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Evaluate with the Deletion Policy

According to the weblink, I carefully checked the policy, and made an evaluation for the article as following:

"Copyright violations and other material violating Wikipedia's non-free content criteria"

The article does not violate any copyright.

"Vandalism, including inflammatory redirects, pages that exist only to disparage their subject, patent nonsense, or gibberish"

The article is clearly not a vandalism but a serious introduction to a new statistical method.

"Advertising or other spam without relevant content (but not an article about an advertising-related subject)"

The article is not an advertising or other spam.

"Content forks (unless a merger or redirect is appropriate)"

Yes, the article can be considered to be merged with the existing article, such as segmented regression and/or Spline,etc.

"Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources, including neologisms, original theories and conclusions, and articles that are themselves hoaxes (but not articles describing notable hoaxes)"

The article cited many literatures from the published journals and conference proceedings. It is not a hoax.

"Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed"

The source of the article is reliable since it is an official website of the American Statistical Association, and the paper published in the conference proceedings can be officially cited in any case.

"Articles whose subjects fail to meet the relevant notability guideline (WP:N, WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC, WP:CORP and so forth)"

I don't exactly understand this term.

"Articles that breach Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons"

The article does not breach the policy on any of living person.

"Redundant or otherwise useless templates"

The article is not redundant but still in construction and will merge with others.

"Categories representing overcategorization"

The article does not represent an overcategorization. It is in the domain of Regression in Statistics.

"Files that are unused, obsolete, or violate the Non-free policy"

The article is not unused or obsolete. It is new. However, I cannot be ensured if it violates the non-free policy on not.

"Any other use of the article, template, project, or user namespace that is contrary to the established separate policy for that namespace."

The article is not for a personal purpose but for introducing a new method into a wider range of the public.

"Any other content not suitable for an encyclopedia"

This term needs to be clarified by an authorized person.

Therefore, I strongly urge that you change your mind to delete it from the wikipedia. A formal merge procedure is needed as soon as possible once I finish it. I believe that the people in the future will realize that this article as well as all the discussion on it will be an important event in the history of Statistics since it will cause a strong impact to the current knowledge system of Statistics. ----Yuanfangdelang (talk) 20:34, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Correction by Yuanfangdelang

Some people even including myself here thought the methodology in the article Piecewise regression analysis came from a single source. This was wrong. It exists at least two different public sources. One is the Chinese journal of Public Health; and the other is the proceedings of the 2007 JSM and the 2009 JSM. Actually if we take into acount all the other literature in the references, the whole methodology came from more than just the two soruces above since the new method is based on the criticisms on the all existing theories and methods. Therefore, it is a multiple-source article; and the method is an improved one. Thus, I cannot agree with the deletion proposal except in the case that thoes who proposed to delete can prove the all sources listed in the references are not reliable public sources; or they can prove that the new methodology as well as its fundametnals are totally wrong. In fact, no bady can do either.----Yuanfangdelang (talk) 14:03, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Frank's notoriety for decades on the NYC subway beat as the Jeopardy!-winning transit cop, along with his distinguishing height, trademark mustache and soft-spoken manner made him one of the most memorable Jeopardy! contestants. His name frequently comes up on the show as one of the show's greats. His records were longstanding. He was one of the few champions chosen to be highlighted in a "where-are-they-now?"-type "Champion Update" interlude [16] on the Jeopardy! program. Your quotations above give unfair treatment to the subject as they give the impression that all he did was win money. That's not what fixed him in the minds of so many, and the same can be said of several other of your nominations. Robert K S (talk) 14:54, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment—Appearing on a game show and being remembered for it by your coworkers does not equate to meeting notability guidelines for inclusion on Wikipedia. His ("memorable") physical characteristics are not part of the article and should not be used as a factor for determining whether or not the subject meets notability guidelines (and wouldn't be a valid argument, anyway). Appearing on a "where are they now" video on the show's official site also does not elevate the subject's status to meet notability standards here. Sottolacqua (talk) 17:38, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Revisiting this after seeing the other Jeopardy winner pages, I note one NY Post cite, which I think can be dismissed under the aegis of NOT NEWS. —Carrite, Oct. 11, 2010.
Incidentally, Wikipedia does treat (not "memorialize") certain most notable lottery winners. Abraham Shakespeare is a significant example. I don't think it's too much to ask for some of the most noteworthy game show winners to be similarly treated. We are not talking about dozens of individuals. We are talking about only the most significant record-holders, or those people who are otherwise notable in other fields. Robert K S (talk) 20:15, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article's subject matter is not notable. No info save the possible authors own site. WP:FAILN The article appears to be speculative. The citations failed to provide any information regarding the subject of the article nor were germane regarding the subject matter discussed. The article looks good but fails because there is nothing to write about as there is no information in the the available regarding the subject. Several claims are made, most unlikely none likely to be substantiated.

The cartridge is a project that has been in the works for some years. It is likely a pet project by Jonson vis a vis Jonson Arms. Apart from Jonson Arms no one seems too interested to discuss the topic or write about it.

Trout DeusImperator & Keep Seriously DeusImperator? Adding a few dozen citiation needed tags to an article? The proper procedure is to add one top banner mentioning that it has little or no citations. I'm sure in the amount of time you took to add all those tags, you could have found the top banner, shaved, ate lunch, and watched something intersting on TV. Your trout is in the mail. As for the article, I'm sure with one or two passes by someone who knows hunting, the article will be in just as good of shape as any of the thirty other articles on lesser used ammunition. Look at List of rifle cartridges, most have their own pages. The fact that I can find sources means I am voting for a keep. I just don't know enough about the topic to be a useful editor on the page. Sven Manguard Talk 06:15, 11 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The article makes many claims which are unsupported. The claims the contributor regarding any numeric values should be supported. There is no evidence of that anywhere. Further to that, what is the Johnson Factor? And how would someone know whether it complies with this Johnson Factor if no one knows what this Johnson Factor could be. And as for the cites no cite provided even relates to the cartridge. Also, what has the Delta L problem got to do with this cartridge? Red herrings? Most of the cites are for areas which made claims which cannot be substantiated or were over reaching. Sorry about the over zealous cites though.

The other thirty or so cartridge are listed and written about and some form of media. However, 6.5 Jonson is listed nowhere. it is not a notable cartridge.

Unsubstantiated claims which were claimed that should be verified:

None of the footnotes even provide evidence of what it is being cited for in the footnote let alone saying anything about the Jonson cartridge. Just because there are footnotes does anyone bother fact checking them? It is footnoted so it must be true. Heard that before. One of the best one (before it was removed) was the Delta L problem being listed for the cartridge; what a laugh. How could it even have a Delta L problem as neither CIP nor SAAMI have even published anything remotely regarding this cartridge (and I have access every single publication by both entities).

I have no doubt that the cartridge can be used to hunt. But is there evidence that it was used to hunt the specified species? And really how many hunters out there hunt with the Jonson cartridges? Not more than a maximum of 5 in total and I am being generous.

As for stealing editors time... Let me explain... No one can be stealing anything that is given away freely. So unless the wiki has chosen to pay an editor, you volunteer your time. If the wiki is stealing your time then find a place that does not steal your time.

I will repeat that this is a one-person attack on articles that were well researched, written from interviews with the inventor/designer of the rounds, and it was expected that others would contribute to the efficacy of the information, not attack them for no reason and delete them from wiki for little reason and with no discussion, except his own comments.

Here's one as an example: None of the footnotes even provide evidence of what it is being cited for in the footnote let alone saying anything about the Jonson cartridge. Just because there are footnotes does anyone bother fact checking them? It is footnoted so it must be true. Heard that before. One of the best one (before it was removed) was the Delta L problem being listed for the cartridge; what a laugh. How could it even have a Delta L problem as neither CIP nor SAAMI have even published anything remotely regarding this cartridge (and I have access every single publication by both entities). See the Delta L note another wiki member made Talk:6.5 Jonson and you'll see this comment is bogus. Meksikatsi (talk) 16:22, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]


Comment I agree there might be areas that depend on "talking with the inventor" in this article, however, an article should not be deleted because parts of it are not reliably sourced. My comments on the Talk:6.5 Jonson page address this point. DeusImperator complains that the author references Delta L as not being applicable to the Jonson rounds as they are not CIP or SAAMI registered. Delta L does not only refer to CIP and SAAMI registered cartridges, so is this error alone on the part of DeusImperator enough to disqualify him from commenting on the article? No. Then why should an entire article be deleted on the basis that some of the article's comments are not referenced. Take out the offending comments, sure. But deleting, without proper discussion over time, entire articles that refer to actual, commercially-viable rifle rounds should not happen.

For my personal edification, how would one reference comments in an interview from an inventor? If these articles are deleted, then I agree with meksikatsi that the 6 mm PPC article should go also, for some of the same reasons, for forum articles are not reliable references, as AliveFreeHappy has noted, and that article relies on them. 100%BulletProof TALK 17:18, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's not just about parts not being sourced, the basic issue is notability. IE we have to establish notability per WP:Notability, which we have failed to do. Re interviewing an editor, you can't reference such comments - it's not allowed. see WP:OR. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 17:55, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Re the commetns about the 6 mm PPC article you might want to read WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It's not a useful argument in deletion discussions. Note however that the 6ppc article does not RELY on forum sources, it has load data from a national vendor, and an article from a well known gun author to establish notability. That's what we're looking for here. If you can just take the effort you're putting into this and focus on finding such sources, we could all move forward and keep the article. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 17:59, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well, I'm not putting that much effort in although others are. I can support the article author and provide some other references, as in the Australian article I just added. But I repeat that I believe the other Jonson cartridge articles should be put back up until a time where it's obvious there are no other references to be made and to let the author fix what is wrong. Putting an article up for AfD and deleting it in the same month without any input from the author or other contributors doesn't seem to be serving the wiki community.

I do see your point on the OtherStuffExists rule but my point was that not all the info in the Jonson articles is undocumented. I think that you can get rid of the offending material without destroying an entire article about an existing and commercially manufactured rifle cartridge and weapons. 100%BulletProof TALK 19:18, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

So just to clarify additionally, the fact the something exists doesn't qualify it for a wikipedia article, which may be where the confusion is coming from. It's about notability. The articles went through the community approved deletion process and while they can be recreated, doing it without addressing the core notability issue will result in them just being deleted again. Let's get the sources figured out on this one if possible, and then look at next steps. If you can find the proper references that show it's notable and the others as well, I'll be happy to provide assistance. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 19:57, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Delta L problem does not apply to this cartridge if one were to look at the min. max chamber dimensions provided it is when the cartridge max published size is greater than the chamber min size published. So how would there be a Delta L problem here? Who published this dimensions? And if it is a wildcat cartridge a Delta L issue is a non-issue because a Delta L issue is ever present. But no one is going to run around screaming Delta L problem Delta L problem Delta L problem. IT IS A GIVEN! If it is a proprietary cartridge the cartridge owner exercises control over reamers etc. so it should not be an issue unless company is unable to maintain and produce equipment to the correct tolerances. All equipment would have to be purchased form Jonson for this cartridge and if the cartridge was not to fit in the chamber who's problem is that? The Delta L is not mentioned in the article but just added whimsically to the references. Someone with a modicum of intelligence removed it as there was nothing in the article talking about it anyway.

I stand by the statement I made regarding the footnotes. None of the 4 mentioned support what they are cited for let alone talk about the 6.5 Jonson. The values referenced by Footnote #1 Where the heck does Layne Simpson talk about the Jonson cartridge in the article 20th Century Top Cartridges does he give any values regarding velocity for the info box? And if foot note #1 is used what is it attempting to cite?

What is the Jonson factor? What is the algorithm. What it is should be defined in some manner or removed. DeusImperator (talk) 21:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delta L CAN refer to the difference between CIP and SAAMI specs for cartridges but it can also refer to general problems associated with chamber fit due to specification differences. In fact the wiki primary definition is "The delta L problem (ΔL problem) is a condition that occurs regarding certain firearms chambers and their practical incompatibility with ammunition made for the corresponding chambering." In the case of Jonson products, several reamer manufacturers around the world, including Manson Precision Reamers and Clymer Manufacturing Co. in the US, Lipawsky Tools in Belgium, and Morgan Tooling & Measurement in Australia, have been licensed to make Jonson reamers and/or dies for the rounds. In the US, Redding is exclusively licensed to make Jonson dies and can sell anyone die sets for making Jonson rounds as long as Jonson Labs approves the purchase. These diverse sources provide the differences in manufacturing that introduce the Delta L problem to users of Jonson rounds, especially as users can make their own cases from forming die sets made in different countries, with different measurement systems and different tooling. As I understand it, all Jonson products come with specifications from the individual licensees due to these system differences.
It seems the Layne Simpson citation was removed by the author when he removed the part of the article it was in, so that is no longer an issue.
How do you define or come up with a citation about a proprietary piece of software? The company explains this on their web site and as far as I know they can call their process anything they like. This issue is repeated in the Winchester Short Magnum entry. Although most cartridge aficionados recognize the chain of events that took place as the .300 WSM was being developed, the article states that Winchester came up with the round independently of outside influence. Come on. In any case, if a statement about a software program written by Jonson Labs isn't allowed, then any reference to how a manufacturer comes up with products would have to be disallowed, since the technology isn't about to be shared, much less documented publicly to be cited. (Yes, I realize I am flrting with OTHERSTUFFEXISTS here). All of this has been removed from the article so it no longer applies anyway. 100%BulletProof TALK 16:46, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Cartridge volume, pressure, barrel length, bore friction and propellant are the only considerations as far as bullet velocity is concerned. Whatever is claimed by this Jonson factor would have to follow real world physics. Unless something magical/supernatural is happening inside this cartridge none of these velocity values claimed are approachable. The article is written to increase interest in the cartridge which has no prior notability going for it.

I have run the capacity numbers and have come up with the following a the absolute chamber volume of (minus the base volume) the 6.5 Jonson and found this value in grains H2O capacity of 102.4431124 for the 6.5 Jonson. The volume of the .264 Winchester Mag Absolute volume above the belt rim gives 101.9756434 grain of H2O. Obviously if one understands the measurement the .264 Winchester Mag will actually hold about 10 grains more if the volume is calculated in the same manner as the 6.5 Jonson was when not accounting for belt rim volume. So quite a bit extra credit has been provided for the 6.5 Jonson. So following the PV=nRT and F=PA how could the 6.5 Jonson provide a higher velocity than the .264 Win mag given equal pressures (not looking a propellant factors)? Oh that is right MAGIC or in this case the Magic Jonson Factor!!!

I respectfully point out that your calculations are incorrect, which might be influencing your thinking about the cartridges. I have these rounds in LFAD and QL and they predict 83.8 gr. H2O and 84.7 gr H2O respectively. To corroborate, I measured an actual 7.62 Jonson case and my digital scale says it contains 84.5 gr. H20. If you have QL you can put the cartridge dimensions in the program and run the math for the 140 gr Nosler Partition and easily get 3200 fps out of a 24" barrel. It would be quite simple for the company to claim whatever number [was there before it was removed] by simply increasing the length of the test barrel. What attracted me to these rounds in the beginning was their efficiency, which must come from the design. What is efficiency? I encourage you to use a ballistics program and play around with cartridge length. It doesn't seem to matter how LONG you make these rounds (therefore increasing case capacity); as long as you keep the basic parameters the same the velocity numbers will not change dramatically. If that's magic, then QL is predicting it. 100%BulletProof TALK 16:46, 21 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
READ what I wrote. "absolute chamber volume of (minus the base volume)". Yes the actual overflow volumes are much lower but that calculation was shown to gauge (in the absence of an actual cartridge) the volume. QL is based on VOLUME. They do not make a magical calculations for "their design". LOL. The use the max overflow - bullet shank volume below case mouth and then using the density of the powder find out how much powder it can hold. AND if you bothered reading the disclaimer it says "W A R N I N G. The data provided by QL CANNOT be used as a substitute for information gained from standard handloading manual references; further; it CANNOT used as a substitute for conventional handload development.... " All emphasis theirs not mine." as for "It doesn't seem to matter how LONG you make these rounds (therefore increasing case capacity); as long as you keep the basic parameters the same the velocity numbers will not change dramatically" is true for ANY cartridge not just for your doo-dad. A 300 Win mag burns 25% more powder but produces an increase of around 10% more velocity than the 30-06 and the 300 is a fatter cartridge. The .284 win and the 280 have the same volume but the .284 if fatter design and the velocity is about the same. Equal usable case capacity provides equal velocity if pressures and (powder power factors are equal. The faster a bullet is driven the greater the inefficiency. There is no magic in design. On the Wiki, I too have written BS such as this just because it is repeated in the gun rags so often even though as a physicist I would consider such claims are mostly bunk (very little efficiency can actually be gained at the dimensions of cartridges below 2%), it is NOT my opinion that counts, REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT THE PRIMARY SOURCE NOR DO YOU "INTERVIEW" YOURSELF AS A SOURCE (or even others). All information must be sourced and if enough sources keep repeating the falsehood it "can" be written into the Wiki. Remember the wiki is an encyclopedia if you want to compose an ode to your doo-dad, or sing its praises there are far better venues for that than the Wiki. Reliable sources are a must.
As for influencing my thinking, The only factors here are the pure and utter drivel written by you before the article originator deleted the most of it. The cartridge is insignificant and not noteworthy. And as your stated you do have a WP:COI issue. The references had nothing to do with the article etc. Those are the issues here.
Note: Jonson Labs choices are not relevant on this issue. It's just a matter of whether we have reliable sources to establish notability. AliveFreeHappy (talk) 16:21, 25 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Article was originally titled Alex King (bet_winner), and was prodded on grounds of WP:SINGLEEVENT, failing WP:BIO and WP:BLP1E apart from the one event, with no significant coverage online from WP:Reliable sources for anything other than the single prank noted. Article has now been renamed, but is still almost entirely about the person who played the prank. The prank itself had brief coverage in the UK national press, but still fails notability per WP:Notability (events) , including WP:EFFECT, WP:PERSISTENCE and WP:SENSATION. Top Jim (talk) 12:11, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Do you seriously think we could ever use either of those articles as a reference for anything related to a living person?! If you did, please make sure you read WP:BLP. Smartse (talk) 20:12, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Don't see why not. The Sun isn't exactly renowned for accuracy and balance, but they still wouldn't publish an allegation that serious without evidence to back that up if it goes to court. Failing that, there's quite a bit of interesting material in references 2 and 6 (which came from broadsheets) which have also been glossed over. Not saying we should have an article about that, but there's just as much reason to write this about him as there is for that stunt. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 21:47, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This article has been at Wikipedia for years, and although there are many versions of the article in the history, it is always at some level of self-promotion. The sourcing in the current iteration of the article is nonexistent. There seems to be a better, more neutral version of the article at this old diff, but in that version as well, the only sources that seem to be writing about this organization are written by the organization's founder. I looked for reliable independent sources] I could use to clean up this article, and didn't find any. Google books wasn't any more help. If no one outside the organization is writing about it, then there's no independent information from which to write a better article. FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 12:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copied from the talk page: Sorry for having been so slow to respond to all of these issues. I created the page initially, which I understand that I shouldn't have done. Others have since picked up an interest in updating the article. I am writing now hoping that it is okay that I add some references here in the deletion discussion. Here are links to some other sites that discuss various things about the Deep Democracy Institute.

This Deep Democracy Institute page is important in that there is discussion of it in numerous other places, and this is growing. The Institute has a number of projects which is drawing interest in different parts of the world due to the principles of deep democracy, and the impact of the application of those principles to conflict zones. Nick Turner Nickturnerwiki (talk) 08:41, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

The Deep Democracy Institute offers leadership programs around the world. The global reach of this program and related activities open up new and diverse networks and partnerships across sectors and disciplines. This page offers a valuable information source for the diverse entry points, locations and contexts of a growing community of leaders, conflict resolvers and entrepreneurs.

   I checked the first three links on that list, and none of them were reliable, independent sources writing in detail about Deep Democracy Institute. Maybe someone could weed out the other links that aren't helpful? The ones you should leave are the ones that are published independently of the organization, and write in detail about its importance- newspaper articles, magazine articles, books by people who aren't in the institute, for example. Just a bunch of links to associate organizations doesn't do anything but make it difficult to find the useful sources. -FisherQueen (talk · contribs) 22:00, 20 October 2010 (UTC)

After seeing the histories of notices and issues with this article, I wrote the current version with the intention of greater neutrality and description than the previous version. I also followed examples that I saw on other wiki articles. I understand that the wiki editor thinks that the previous version was actually better and I would be happy to change back or to incorporate the best of both but I don’t yet understand completely how to do that in the most neutral way. Hoping to receive thoughts from others and recommendations for improvements to this one or integrating the two.

Also, I see the discussion of the sources and want to add here some independent information about DDI. Some of it is through a DDI URL but opens an article or interview that is sourced elsewhere: I am adding it now to the discussion in hopes that the notice to delete will be removed and also I, and others, will be integrating these sources into the main article soon.

I have been a participant for several years in the original Deep Democracy Institute program in the West Bank, Palestine. and i'm doing my Master program in Conflict facilitation and deep democracy because of their effect on me from Palestine. I think this page adds a lot to that program and I know that many of us have read what is here and hope to see more. I know that there are some articles written about their work in Arabic and I will search for online sources and references to add to what is here. I hope that this article continues to grow, as the institute is doing, and feel that is deserves support. Mohammadargh (talk) 17:22, 23 October 2010 (UTC)

Retain, we have added a link in the Wiki Article about a very recent implementation of Koopcas to a big cooperative in Northern Luzon Philippines, they are the first cooperative that publishes to the web regarding their implementation of KoopCAS, more cooperatives will follow soon. This can be referred to as making this software notable. Please do consider retaining this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.107.71.133 (talk) 04:58, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment A link to a blog saying you sold a copy does not establish notability. See WP:reliable sources noq (talk) 07:48, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Comment We have added a new link directly to the official website of one of the big cooperatives in Cebu, FCCT has recently signed contract with CPMPC for KoopCAS, maybe this could be considered being notable. As I have said earlier that more cooperatives who have choosen to implement KoopCAS are slowly publishing it to the web. I hope this could be considered being notable. Please do consider keeping this article on this prestigious website Wikipedia. Thanks and more power to you all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.107.71.133 (talk) 09:27, 26 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I didn't speedy this because it doesn't fit neatly in any of the categories, but it seems like an obvious delete. This is an article about a particular plot element in a particular character's life in a barely notable Nancy Drew video game. Tried to prod, but creator removed the tag saying this article serves as some sort of "tribute". I'm not sure what that means. (ESkog)(Talk) 11:10, 19 October 2010 (UTC)[reply]
