The result was Anagnorisis.

This AfD was never properly opened, and it was never properly closed. Technically, it has still been open for the whole seven years since it was created.

During this time, an actual AfD ran its course at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Wetzel (historian) (2nd nomination), which was confusingly originally named this, and the page you're reading right now was called "Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/David Wetzel (historian))" with two closing parentheses. So I shuffled the pages around and edited all the backlinks to fix it, and make the second nom the second nom, and make this the first nom. I used at least three different pieces of software in the course of doing this. I have become effective at doing useless things.

I guess Professor Wetzel is in the same boat as me: he wrote this very long defense of his article, and took the effort of posting it while it was being discussed for deletion, but formatted it incorrectly -- such that it was posted on a new page, instead of on the existing AfD page -- and, as far as I can tell, it was not seen by a single other human being in the seven years afterward. The article was kept, and Wetzel's comments here were never mentioend or even alluded to during that discussion. Perhaps it is a strange irony for me to be the first to read them, since I am myself a historian of Wikipedia deletion processes. Perhaps it is not, and I am just a fool.

Closing this discussion may be the most pointless task I've ever performed in my entire life. Logpages for old AfDs are almost never viewed, except by software, and even then rarely. I spent weeks writing a Python application to automatically process old AfDs, and even the summaries of AfDs from 2015 are hardly ever viewed. So the odds of anybody reading this, as far as I can tell, are about zero. Mostly, I am just working through a list of old orphaned AfDs, and dealing with them all gives me some sense of satisfaction in an otherwise frustrating world. Here, I am alone. This is my zone. And even if it is infinitesimally unimportant, it is something, and I have succeeded in doing it.

Why did I do this? Who cares? I don't even think I care. But I did it anyway. Maybe I am a crank. But maybe in a hundred years someone (or something) will see this close note in the course of making a comprehensive and exhaustive review of all Wikipedia deletion discussions, and thank me for being so diligent. Who knows? Maybe it was worth ten minutes of doing this. I'll never get to know.

This is the first, and likely last, AfD closed as "anagnorisis" in the history of Wikipedia.

Nobody else could ever be admitted here, because this door was made only for you. I am now going to shut it. (non-admin closure) jp×g 03:53, 23 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

This template contains four objections to which I wish to respond.

OBJECTION 1: "The article is written like an advertisement."

RESPONSE: Really??? The only thing I say that is self-promotional is my designation, in April 2012, by The Princeton Review as one of the best 300 professors in the United States. According to The Daily Cal, six other Berkeley lectures fell into this category. But I consider this an honor. A perceptive editor wrote me that if I have other 3rd party sources, especially reviews of your books....add them! As will be seen from what follows, I have taken this advice.

OBJECTION 2: "The article is an orphan."

RESPONSE: A dead dog. This may have been true when an editor wrote me on 2/26, but it is true no longer. My entry now links to other Wikipedia pages on a) UC Berkeley; b) The Crimean War; c) the Franco-Prussian War; d) the German magazine DAMALS.


OBJECTION 3: The Notability Issue.

RESPONSE: The editor wrote me (in late February) that a search disclosed no more than one publication in which my name appeared--to wit, The Daily Cal. But what about The Princeton Review? DAMALS? The American Historical Review? The Journal of Modern History? Times Higher Education? the "TLS? To be fair, the names of these last three did not appear when I first read the edit. But they appear now.

A few facts: According to The Princeton Review, there were, as of April 2012, 1,700,00 professors or other academics in the United States.. According to Wikipedia, DAMALS had (as of 2009) a quarterly circulation of over 30,000. I do not know the figures for the Times Higher Education, but since it's a product of The Times of London, the figure can't be a lowl one. And what about the TlS itself? Ditto the AHA and the JMH- they are almost universally regarded as the most esteemed historical periodicals in the United Sates. What their respective reviewers had to say about my book, A Duel of Nations, I leave the reader of my entry to judge. Ditto the comment by Dennis Showalter.

OBJECTION 4: The COI. You can't write about yourself. RESPONSE: And I haven't. The identity of the author of the deleted entry David Wetzel; The Dream Historian remains a mystery to me. But clearly someone tried to help. I understand Wikipedia editors have access to deleted articles. They can verify this for themselves.

The above reasons are compelling ones. Please save my entry. 02:36, 4 March 2015 (UTC) 02:33, 4 March 2015 (UTC)~ ```1

Univ of Dhaka is really not in my priority list and every article related to it is absolute mess.

    Sorry if I'm not wording things well, I don't contribute to wikipedia much aside from occasional spelling and grammar improvements. I guess I'm trying to say (as a software developer) that I don't think this is notable. This article seems to exist only to hype a company with a poorly defined paradigm. I was sent a generic recruitment email from Intentional Software that mostly linked to this page, which seems constructed to make that company sound like it's doing more than it is. I'm not convinced that this is an actual separate paradigm, it talks a lot about what it could do in very abstract terms, but does not go into much depth on problems being approached differently.

    I declined SNUGGUMS' PROD on the basis that the subject meets WP:BAND criterion 2, and I still believe that because Williams meets this, her article shouldn't be subject to an under-the-rug PROD that would easily expire due to low article traffic.

    Nevertheless, charting two songs on a relatively obscure component chart shouldn't be an automatic exemption from failing broader notability standards, and there isn't too terribly much coverage of Williams. Beyond passing mentions and a brief AllMusic review of one of her singles, I could not find any significant secondary coverage. –Chase (talk / contribs) 20:49, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    We've been through this process and it was ultimately decided Bellator MMA pages would be done by season/year. No need for this to have its own stand alone entry. Udar55 (talk) 18:42, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Disagree - No, it was decided that Bellator season events would not have their own articles. For the first time, Bellator is not going off a season basis. This is even mentioned on the Bellator MMA in 2015 page. It's still early in the year and I can create pages for the other 2015 events as well. It's not a matter of notability as Bellator is factually the second biggest MMA promotion in the world. If WSOF can have its own articles, why can't Bellator? I understand why it was decided that Bellator season events stay on one page. But as of 2015, Bellator has turned over a new leaf as to how they classify their events. Not as a season but in a way similar to UFC. If Bellator has made that change, why can't we? This is not a long-term project, it is very doable.

    "If Bellator has made that change, why can't we?" Because it has already been decided that Bellator doesn't need stand alone pages. I've been handling the Bellator pages since day one and fought against the change to one page/seasons, but Wikipedia ruled against it. So I'm going by the rules they set. It appears you weren't even here then, so perhaps you should read this before insisting on changes on your own accord. Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mixed martial arts/Archive 7#Bellator Udar55 (talk) 17:07, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Commenting from the peanut gallery Wikipedia if it does rule it is by consensus. The discussion Udar55 pointed out was done in 2011 and circumstances can and do change. I think it might be worth a revisit considering the changes in Bellator format. I have no opinion which direction it should go.Peter Rehse (talk) 17:48, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm just trying to save WWE Batman131 (and the MMA Wiki project) some time as individual Bellator pages will eventually get deleted. And a show headlined by Kendall Grove isn't particularly notable in the first place. Udar55 (talk) 18:09, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I got that. I agree that the consensus right now is no individual pages.Peter Rehse (talk) 18:15, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I understand where you're coming from Udar. I don't want to change the past. I only want to create lone articles for Bellator events post-season 11 as Bellator is no longer being done in seasons. I don't mind creating pages for the other 6 events. It should only take a couple of days. But I don't want to stir up trouble. If you guys are worried or concerned still, I'll rest my case. Oh and lol, yes I know an event headlined by Kendall Grove doesn't seem that notable, but neither does one headlined by David Branch and Ronny Markes, right? WWE Batman131 (talk) 21:42, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Not really a reason for deletion but if you want I can leave it as a redirect as more fights will be announced over the next few weeks. This is what's almost always done with UFC events. WWE Batman131 (talk) 00:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    How is not meeting WP:EVENT not a reason for deletion? Papaursa (talk) 00:52, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Because most UFC fight cards have one fight announced at first and they still have articles. We leave redirects for those pages until more fights are announced. Based on what you're saying, 95% of UFC event articles would be deleted upon creation. I know this because I have experience editing articles as such. Your username does not seem very familiar when it comes to MMA articles, so how could you know how things have been done. I've already done the same with the Bellator 137 article. If you'd like, I can request opinions from experienced MMA article editors just like Udar. WWE Batman131 (talk) 01:32, 6 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    The article is an orphaned stub, and the subject fails to meet WP:GNG and WP:ORG. I conducted the requisite searches, and there is no significant outside coverage of the subject. The article cites no sources unrelated to the subject. The subject is a team playing a sport that is becoming gradually more notable, and plays for a university which is notable, but per WP:INHERITORG, this does not establish sufficient notability. Since the articles creation over a year ago, it has not expanded from the initial stub, and given the lack of sources, it is unlikely to expand anytime in the foreseeable future.

    The differences are that the lungs are working properly (unlike compressive asphyxia), and the oxygen transport in the blood is working normally (unlike carbon monoxide poisoning), but there is no oxygen in the gas being breathed.

It should be noted that on the article's talk page the claim that the album was "the first Buddhist oratorio" has been conclusively disproven. Dan arndt (talk) 05:51, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Correction MelanieN you removed another editor's speedy tag (User:Trivialist) - here and noted that "deleting speedy tags: there are credible claims of significance, and promotion can be handled by editing. Other avenues of deletion remain available." I also nominated it for speedy deletion because it appeared blatantly promotional but noticed it had previously been nominated for speedy deletion and removed that tag. I then reviewed the article line by line and found it was full of unspported claims about the subject, and contained many inline urls to external company websites associated with the subject. I also removed two tables, one being an unsourced list of acting roles, and one being a list of links to product advertising. I agree with User:Trivialist that it warranted speedy deletion.

    This is a heavily promotional BLP. The subject is an author, lawyer, and businessman, but has achieved notability in none of these fields. His books are self-published, and have been reviewed only in venues specific to self-published works.

    Comment from the nominator - I had almost forgotten about this AfD because I took it off my watchlist due to the many repetitive posts. IMO this is as weak a case as it gets for WP:AUTHOR#3 - is a single (vanity?) co-writing credit for a barely-notable movie "a significant or well-known work"? He wasn't even mentioned in the movie's article prior to the introduction of the infobox directory information. On re-researching, though, I do find that he's been the subject of a somewhat unusual Securities Exchange Commission lawsuit and had an interesting defamation lawsuit of his own dismissed (described here and here; actual decisions are publicly available). Still don't think that makes him notable, but it's a failure of comprehensiveness in the existing article, and supports your overall assessment.

    • so we have to get rid of it now and have to create it again in case it comes back up? Why can't we just let it wait a while to see if it still remains as a big story nationally and then delete it? How come Shooting of Andy Lopez has its article? Not saying that it doesn't warrant one, but it happened in my city and it only received national attention for one day and it eventually became a non story in my city after a few weeks, except for groups of activists. Many people in my own state other than my county and some neighboring areas have probably never heard of the shooting death of Andy Lopez but that gets an article so why can't this one which had received much more coverage and even a response from the PRESIDENT OF MEXICO? 98.207.226.90 (talk) 22:53, 17 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Hey, my brother just had a baby son. Let's make an article on the kid. It isn't notable now, but you never know what the future might bring, so "Why can't we just let it wait a while to see if"... That's not the way it works. First we determine something is notable. Then we create an article. We're at AfD now, so the onus is on those !voting "keep" to show that this passes WP:GNG now, not "perhaps in the future".

    Events that are only covered in sources published during or immediately after an event, without further analysis or discussion, are likely not suitable for an encyclopedia article. However, this may be difficult or impossible to determine shortly after the event occurs, as editors cannot know whether an event will receive further coverage or not. That an event occurred recently does not in itself make it non-notable.
    My view is that although that event could pass GNG, there is no way to really know because relevant sources are drowned in the WP:NOTNEWS. We could wait for the dust to settle; if the event is still mentioned in a couple of months, we can recreate then. (and no, "do not delete because it might be recreated, so let's save work" is not a good argument) Tigraan (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I readily see how standards/notability can be interpreted differently by different editors, but it is common to have articles for shootings by police that become instantly notorious. I interpret WP:1E "If the event is highly significant, and the individual's role within it is a large one, a separate article is generally appropriate.... as indicated by the large coverage of the event in reliable sources that devotes significant attention to the individual's role." as covering this case. There was "large coverage" of this death.E.M.Gregory (talk) 12:14, 11 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Comment And also according to WP:5 Wikipedia is not a indiscriminate collection of information, specifically "merely being true, or even verifiable, does not automatically make something suitable for inclusion in the encyclopedia. To provide encyclopedic value, data should be put in context with explanations referenced to independent sources." This article doesn't meet this standard, it is data, with no context, cited to a single source, a source that on some occasions has proven to be inaccurate. Even though it is accurate in many cases and probably even accurate in this case, it still doesn't go beyond a dictionary definition whether it's almanac type material or not. As Imaginatorium said, this should be included in an article titled Wool measurement as there is simply not enough content for this to ever be anything other than a stub, if that. -War wizard90 (talk) 00:28, 18 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    This is another Dan Glaser related article. Initially I wasn't going to nominate it since the film did appear to be notable and I'd originally been planning to clean up the article and remove all of the non-usable blog and otherwise self-published sources that can't be used to show notability or even used as a trivial source. However after I cleaned the article out and tried searching for usable sources, I ended up finding that the film just isn't that notable. I found one review from Flickering Myth, but nothing else that I could consider usable. I'd originally thought the Indie Fest review would be usable, but a look at their awards section on their website shows that they're the type of film festival where they hold 3-4 festivals a year and give out hundreds of awards each year- meaning that the award wouldn't be the type that would give any notability per Wikipedia's guidelines. If anyone can find coverage I'm open for compromise. Now I do need to state that I've cleaned out the article and removed a lot of sections, so you can find the previous version of the article here. Almost none of the sources were the type that would make a difference here and I kept the halfway usable sources in the current version of the article, but the sources are pretty much self-published, merchant, primary, or otherwise unusable for the purposes of notability.

    I came across this article via the AfD for Tupac:187, which is one of several articles created around Michael D. Carlin, whose article I will nominate shortly. I've looked for sources for this film and I can't find where this film has actually been covered in independent and reliable sources. I can't find any mention of the review mentioned in the article and the only source that comes up for the Santa Monica Mirror is an article written by the director himself, so the film looks to fail WP:NFILM.

    • Choor monster - You now have a week to tidy/improve the article.... So I suggest you do so, I'm somewhat lost as to why you've done nothing to the article since the 25Feb, Anyway I'm not closing as Keep as either way you now have an entire week anyway. I also suggest no one else closes this as such either seeing as the !Keeps (exc Collect) are pretty poor. –Davey2010Talk 00:59, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • What on earth??? My interest in this is extremely marginal. I found an article that was packed with NOTHERE by an SPA determined to keep it that way, so I asked for help on ANI, is all. We only need one good argument for Keep, why would I bother to repeat what Collect said? But if you like: winning a Bram Stoker, however marginal the category, seems absolutely conclusive to me. That's more notable than all our Yo-yo champions combined. As it is, I limited my comment to the fact that the AfD seemed to be an interfering sideshow, not a prod to improve.

    Seems like a non-notable band. There are no reliable sources cited, just a primary source (web site of the band) and a user-generated wiki-like site (not reliable). It is hart to search for sources because there are many other topics titled "Killers" including a highly popular American rock band.

    Delete per WP:BAND, as the band in question does not have significant coverage to have reliable references necessary to certify notability. Please also consider the newly created articles Fils de la Haine and Killing Games, as the articles are a walled garden of each other, and the articles would certainly get speedy deleted under WP:CSD A9 should this article get deleted.

    Delete all, for lack of substantial coverage from independent, reliable sources. Sources provided or found seem mainly blogs, user-provided sites, or not much better. The one useful thing I found is an Allmusic bio for the band, but they do not review any of the albums.

    Seconded on that score as well. Quis separabit? 23:45, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I couldn't find any reliable source that asserts that a person has ever been killed by a badger. We do, however, have a lists of people killed by dogs and cougars, and a list of crocodile attacks. I don't think the comparison is valid because there isn't, as far as I am aware, a body of literature on the subject of "badger brutality". There is, however, a large body of literature on the use of lethal force by police officers eg [18] [19]. James500 (talk) 10:13, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    There you go again, you see. You're suggesting that police use of lethal force automatically equals police brutality! I don't know whether you have a political stance on this or not, but your choice of language does suggest you do. And that's the fundamental problem with the article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:29, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I have not suggested that police use of lethal force automatically equals police brutality. I do not think that having a list of all people killed by police officers suggests it either.

    • And that's why I said "in this instance"! Usually I agree that a list and a category can happily coexist, and have argued it at AfD many times, but in this instance I see no reason for an article that singles out a few people (a number of them redlinked). Most people "killed" by the police are simply not notable, even in Britain where relatively very few people are killed by the police. Notable people killed by the police (who are, most often, notable for being killed by the police, as most weren't at all notable before, which is even more of a reason not to have an article) are better off listed in a category, not an article. -- Necrothesp (talk) 20:27, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    • Obviously, but the very fact it's there in the first place illustrates perfectly the potential for POV abuse that such an article attracts. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:18, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Like I said at the beginning of this thread, these kinds of lists are politically inspired. I have always loved making lists since I was a kid, which long predates cyberspace, but once you enter the real world, you need to exercise good judgment. Quis separabit? 21:50, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that political motivation is an issue in relation to the topic (I haven't looked at the content yet). We also have lists of police officers killed in the course of performing their office. These provide "balance", if that is needed. Anyway the test for lists is LISTN, not "does the mere existence of this list potentially benefit some political cause", which could be used to delete all sorts of perfectly reasonable lists, and probably wouldn't be compatible with NOTCENSORED. At the AfD for the US list, sources were adduced which appeared to demonstrate the notability of the group as a group. James500 (talk) 23:23, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    For the record, I don't think we should have lists of police officers killed on duty either, any more than we should have lists of soldiers killed in war. We should only have lists of those unlawfully killed, since that clearly is notable (especially in Britain, where cop killings are pretty rare). -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:16, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    See my comments about exclusion of lawful homicide above. James500 (talk) 15:58, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    That's fine with me because not everything can be listified adequately or appropriately. However, I would repeat your comment from above:

    I think that it is inconceivable that homicides by police officers in any sizeable country will not satisfy LISTN. That is the consensus we have come to every time we have had this discussion, starting with nomination of the list for the United States a number of years ago. And as this is arguably a daughter list of the worldwide topic, it doesn't have to be independently notable either, because LISTN says that we can spin off daughter lists without regard to notability.

    The United States is kind of a sui generis case, first because of its size and power, and second as a Western democracy which still retains capital punishment (albeit now in only a minority of its states) unlike other Western democracies. Why for instance was the category Naturalized citizens only CFDed in re Category:Naturalized citizens of the United States but not for any other country? Quis separabit? 18:26, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The United Kingdom is also a large and powerful country. It was formerly the most powerful country in the world, with the largest empire. It also retained capital punishment till 1964 in practice and till 1998 in theory. Since this list isn't confined to any particular period of history, I think an argument that the US is a special case may be incompatible with NTEMP. The category you mention doesn't prove a rule, and we are said to have a bias towards the US because of we have more editors from that country than any other. James500 (talk) 15:31, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Sorry, not 100% clear what you mean. Quis separabit? 16:56, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Some editors suggest above that this list be "blown up" and then recreated because the present content has BLP issues. I am asking if those issues could be fixed through normal editing or revision deletion. James500 (talk) 17:26, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    1. WP:NOTMEMORIAL is not applicable because that discourages recording deaths which are not notable while this list explicitly concentrates on notable cases
    2. WP:POVFORK does not seem relevant because there's no indication of what the other fork is supposed to be and why we couldn't merge, rather than delete, per WP:ATD. Note that we have a similar category People shot dead by law enforcement officers in the United Kingdom and, per WP:CLN, that's a reason to keep rather than delete
    3. It seems easy to find sources linking such cases as Diarmuid O'Neill and Jean Charles de Menezes, e.g. "There are several similarities with the shooting of De Menezes"
    4. Note that official statistics are maintained about such cases
    Andrew D. (talk) 13:15, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    One possible way round that is to rewrite the article as prose, rather than a list. That way, the relationship between any events can be documented and sourced, which list really can't. It can also outline public reaction to police injustice. Through that, we could include Stephen Lawrence who wasn't killed by the police but generated a similar level of public outcry and police injustice.

    • If people persist in objecting to the topic of this list, the corresponding list for the US, and for any other country (there might be one for Canada), will have to be included in this nomination, unless we are prepared to ignore those objections, because they are all part of a single list, and we don't do "salami tactics" at AfD. James500 (talk) 06:28, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    I already said above I am happy to see if the article can be improved and refocused by regular editing, but to make it clear I've struck my !vote while I work out what to do. In the meantime, it would be really helpful if people worked on the content rather than bludgeoning their point of view here, which doesn't (at least directly) improve article quality. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:56, 5 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • That essay is wrong in principle. Contrary to what that absurd essay claims, editors certainly do not have a right to impose an arbitrary "word limit" on others for the purpose of stifling (non-repetitious) discussion and suppressing (non-repetitious) ideas. If an erroneous or doubtful interpretation of policy is advanced, it is essential that the policy be once accurately explained by someone (and it does not matter who), to prevent people who haven't read the policy piling on, or closing the AfD, in ignorance of what the policy actually says. That essay also fails to understand that consensus is supposed to be determined by the strength of arguments, not the number of !voters, so, excepting unnecessary repetition of the same argument, it is irrelevant whether some people say more than others. What that essay proposes would actually make it impossible to determine consensus. I am going to fix that essay or write an alternative essay, because what that essay says is clearly nonsense.

    Per my comments in this AFD, as this article is pretty much the same deal. Unlike that article (nominated for deletion thirteen minutes after it was created), I can only conclude that this article has lasted as long as it has because deletionism was nowhere near as rampant then as it is now. Like Amy Demboski, Bauer's political career more or less amounts to serving on the Anchorage Assembly and being a candidate for Anchorage mayor in the current election, which numerous editors contend is no indication of notability (just as an aside, I don't know where MelanieN got her information from, but according to this, there are twelve candidates for mayor, not nine). This article also has issues with WP:BLP1E (Bauer received a blip of non-local media coverage once upon a time, which should be expected given that he latched onto the hot-button political issue of immigration) and WP:AUTOBIO, WP:COI and possibly WP:SOCK. See Pab55 (talk · contribs), see also Fforestak (talk · contribs), Truthseekerak (talk · contribs) and Wizelf (talk · contribs) and the edit warring and similar editing activity which occurred between those accounts, all with redlinks for user pages.

    For information's sake, only partially relevant to this AFD: after clicking on the link provided by MelanieN above, the reference to "letter of intent" and the date of the story prompted me to dig a little further. Anchorage Municipal Code 28.30.030 (C) states "Time of filing. Declarations of candidacy shall be filed with the municipal clerk no earlier than 67 days and no later than 53 days before a regular election, and no earlier than 35 days and no later than 28 days before a special election." The "letter of intent" refers to filing conflict of interest/financial disclosure paperwork with the Alaska Public Offices Commission to be considered a candidate under state law. That is different from filing a declaration of candidacy with the municipal clerk, which falls under municipal law. These two shouldn't be confused, though I've noticed that the Wikipedia community does anyway rather frequently, often on account of taking a certain view of what is and isn't a candidate (in most cases, by accepting the media's definition without digging any further). In one case several years ago, a regular editor rather disingenuously blew off this difference as being no different than the difference between appearing on a primary election ballot and advancing to the general election. There are no primary elections for municipal offices in Alaska, as those offices are all nonpartisan. The 14-day filing window referenced above is typical for municipal elections, and in this case, closed this past Friday afternoon.

    Procedural nomination, to help out a newbie. Staszek Lem (talk) 18:36, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    From [22]: Self-promotional article created by the subject of the article. References often appear to be objective third party references, but upon close examination most are from the subject himself. #2, #4, #6, # #11, #12, #14, #15, #18, #19 and most of #20-#31 are internal college blogs. #11 & #12 are dead links. #8 is an expired website created by the subject. #9 & #10 refer to the same project which was canceled four years ago. #32 is an IMDb page that must have been created a decade ago; he lists intern positions in which he promoted movie trailers for an advertising company and lists them as if he worked on the films. He also interned at the Sundance Film Festival but lists it on IMDb as if it were a legit credit working on a major motion picture. If you remove all of these self-promotional links, there is virtually nothing left.

    In addition, many of the subject's acting credits are misrepresented. His work at the Atlantic Theater Company was as a student. The majority of the film acting credits are for student film projects or as an extra. Based on this logic, every film or acting student in the world should have a Wikipedia page.

    This article has already been deemed of "low importance." I would go a step further; most of the credits are misrepresented. It has been nominated for deletion twice before. Both times there was no consensus but deletion was heavily favored. And both times the reason deletion was avoided was mostly because reviewers didn't read the details of the subject's references. The links are overwhelmingly self-promotional.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Stefariconga (talkcontribs)

    Violence against men[edit]

    This page has been deleted twice already and renamed once, so I think it's worth discussing whether or not we want to keep this latest incarnation. My personal opinion is that the article is merely synthesis of various statistics, and does not reflect a coherent topic of coverage sufficiently distinct from violence. In theory, you could create any number of articles of the type "Violence against X", for example, Violence against 20–30 year olds, but in most cases, the scope is not going to be sufficiently distinct from violence. The reason we have a Violence against women article is because there is a large body of theory and research devoted to this as a distinct phenomenon. Same with Child abuse. In other words, there are many reliable sources devoted exclusively to those subjects and the subjects are distinct encyclopedic topics. As the vast majority of violence is perpetrated by and against men, there is no need for a separate article devoted to that (just as there is no need for articles devoted to Violence against adults or Violence during war). Kaldari (talk) 22:29, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    *Comment The article that was previously redirected is here [23]. That article was mostly about domestic violence and it was redirected to Domestic violence against men. We have articles like Violence against women in Guatemala and Domestic violence in Peru with many more for each individual country. But not for Men? Really? The article that was redirected was not the same article. Please look at content. The article is sourced with research articles published in peer reviewed journals, so this is clearly a topic of interest for research scientists.USchick (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    An article that consists entirely of synthesis cannot be encyclopedic in Wikipedia's sense of the word. It might be informative for you, but the sources do not discuss violence against men as defined in the article ("violence that is aimed at men and caused at least in part by their being men"). They discuss male rape, war violence, etc. without saying that men hurt other men because the victims are men. --Sonicyouth86 (talk) 16:04, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    That definition wasn't included in the article when Cirt !voted. The original definition in the lead section was violence directed primarily or exclusively at male persons, which is essentially the same definition that appears in Violence against women. Someone re-worded the definition. It might conceivably be changed again before the end of this AfD, and it is entirely permissable to !vote on the basis that it should be.

    • I am not convinced either article has to be confined to violence done to men or women because they are respectively male or female. The UN Declaration on the Elimination of Violence Against Women defines violence against women as including both violence that affects women because they are women and violence that affects women disproportionately (emphasis added). So, by that logic, presumably violence against men includes violence that affects men disproportionately, whether or not it is done because they are men. Moreover, I am not convinced that either article should not respectively include all violence that affects persons of the respective gender, since that is the respective literal meaning of both expressions.

    To be clear, is it really your argument here that, when considering the status of an article about hardships experienced by men, the opinions of activists who specifically advocate for the rights of men should be ignored, because of their advocacy? But feminist points of view should not be subject to the same treatment? I am not an MRA and have no idea what "board" you have in mind, but I don't understand why anyone would call for those views to be summarily dismissed. If you suspect WP:CANVASsing, that's another matter, but one that could do with some evidence.

    Here's an archived snapshot of the thread (disable Javascript, web.archive.org is getting stupid these days; alternatively view archive(dot)today/HXrY8). Just like Wikipedia, this site runs on UTC, and this thread was created at 03/01/15 (Sun) 04:09:37 by someone with an ID (which is actually an IP address hash) of 0be51b. Throughout the thread, 0be51b only makes five posts, and at sporadic time intervals.

    Are you telling me that you "accidentally stumbled" across such a post on a niche website which struggles to rank on Alexa, less than one hour after the thread was created, and then spent the time to create an SPA account at 04:58 1 March 2015, to report on the travesty at 05:10 1 March 2015? Keep in mind that as of present (March 2, 1:00PM UTC+11), Googlebot has yet to trawl the page (the site's robots.txt does allow search engine trawling) which means that the page does not show up in a google search. In addition, at 245 posts per hour, we're talking about a pretty fast board here, which raises doubts on an "accidental" discovery. In other words, you yourself would have been a patron of the site prior to "finding" the thread.

    Furthermore, do a CTRL+F for the ID "0be51b", and notice how exactly 6 minutes after your post here on Wikipedia, the thread creator makes a WP:BATTLEGROUND-baiting post in reference to it (despite being largely inactive for the prior hour)? In addition, when your shenanigans are called out by another user, the thread creator writes at 06:35:33, quote, "FUCK YOU MRA!" (post No.420205).

    You created that thread, with the intention of affecting the outcome of this AfD discussion. By pointing out the thread (keep in mind that few people in the thread are even agreeing with the thread poster, and have even been encouraging others NOT to participate), it seems like an attempt by you to convince participants of this discussion that there is a state of emergency. In other words, this was a false flag operation from the very beginning. --benlisquareTCE 02:28, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    It is fruitless arguing with me about this, unless you take me to be stupid. Any experienced Wikipedia editor who can recognize inappropriate WP:Canvassing knows that inappropriate WP:Canvassing has gone on in this case. For example, the inappropriate WP:Canvassing noted in this discussion, where men's rights editors tried to get me sanctioned. And in cases like these, it is common sense to notify the relevant WikiProjects or pages (or specific editors like Sonicyouth86 and Binksternet) that can, or will try to, do something about it. You know, balance things out. Much like SarekOfVulcan helped to balance things out when he closed this silly retaliation WP:AfD. And anyone who knows anything about Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate#Discretionary sanctions knows what it has to do with men's rights topics, especially when editors involved with the Gamergate controversy article are voting "Keep" in this discussion. So, yes, at WP:Med, I noted Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/GamerGate#Discretionary sanctions. Do find an editor who is not stupid if you want to debate.

    The following discussion has been closed. Please do not modify it.
    The Single Purpose Accounts here are obvious, and any good closer would notice that and weigh what they have to say appropriately. You did more than "alert" the Gender Gap Task Force to it, you invited them here to "weigh in". That was more than "balance things out" as you phrase it. Presumably, your action will result in established editors taking you up on your invitation. Inviting participation is fine, but when the invitation is selective, as yours was, it becomes canvassing which is what you have engaged in. Two wrongs do not "balance" anything out, and combatting canvassing by canvassing is completely inappropriate and a violation of the guidelines. Combat canvassing by exposing it, not by engaging in it. Marteau (talk) 17:37, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The inappropriate WP:Canvassing goes deeper in this case, since it's not just a matter of obvious WP:Single purpose accounts weighing in. And there was nothing inappropriate about my WP:Canvassing; I notified Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Gender gap task force, which is watched by feminists, men's rights editors, pro and anti-Gamergate editors (among other types of editors), and I notified WP:Med. Completely appropriate WP:Canvassing, as is clear by the WP:Canvassing guideline; it's a common misconception that all WP:Canvassing is disallowed. Stating "Surely, everyone (or almost everyone) here will be interested in weighing in on this fourth Violence against men deletion discussion.", as I did at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Countering systemic bias/Gender gap task force, is not inappropriate WP:Canvassing. Neither is noting WP:Canvassing, as I did at WP:Med. Save your lessons on Wikipedia ways for someone who does not understand them. Flyer22 (talk) 17:52, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I do not appreciate the snark, and I do not intend to "debate" you, but to call your behaviour into question. I don't understand why you apparently think your canvassing is appropriate, but that of others is not. I also don't understand how you figure that men's rights editors tried to get [you] sanctioned - I see a single editor complaining about harassment on your part, and then someone else jumping in with a link to off-site discussion of the incident report. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but it's common for Redditors to observe Wikipedia drama from a distance; and if anyone expresses displeasure at how things are going, there is no real reason to believe there is any deliberate canvassing going on - it's just people speaking their minds. Reddit is, after all, fundamentally a discussion forum.
    As for Gamergate, no, I do not know "what it has to do with men's rights topics" because it does not have anything to do with men's rights topics. Trying to Google for any evidence of Gamergate being a men's rights topic does not uncover MRAs claiming that it is. It does, however, uncover pundits trying to compare the representation of MRAs in popular media to that of gamers, as well as feminists trying to associate Gamergate with the MRM on very specious evidence. It is unsurprising that there would be some overlap in these audiences, due to feminist-critical (or even outright anti-feminist) sentiment; but the MRM is not simply anti-feminism. 76.64.13.4 (talk) 01:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't care what you appreciate. And except for the fact that Redditors watch Wikipedia and that there is overlap between Redditors and men's rights editors, your rebuttal is silliness. For example, my WP:Canvassing is appropriate for reasons outlined at the WP:Canvassing guideline. It outlines what is appropriate and inappropriate WP:Canvassing. Mine does not at all fall within the inappropriate WP:Canvassing context. Like I stated, "Do find an editor who is not stupid if you want to debate." Flyer22 (talk) 01:59, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    You might also want to change up your editing style when editing as an IP; non-changes easily give away which registered Wikipedia editors IPs are. Flyer22 (talk) 02:53, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Regarding this edit pointing to a WP:Canvassing thread, which further shows how some Gamergate editors are concerned with men's rights topics, and vice versa, one of them states, "WP:CANVAS, WP:BATTLEGROUND, and a big WP:BOOMERANG if they find this thread. They can claim that everyone disagreeing with them is a Gamergater from 8chan and use that as an excuse to ban them like they did with Toku. If you're going to go to war in a controversial section, don't start by giving the other side a plate of ammo." LOL!! Anyone with decent Google skills can find the other WP:Canvassed threads as well. Someone should go ahead and close this joke of a WP:AfD, and only because of the mass tainting. As usual, men's rights editors and some pro-Gamergaters (hmm, "Gamergaters"?) cannot win arguments without mass WP:Canvassing, and are obvious as the sky with their WP:Canvassing. But then again, I suppose they have to WP:Canvass because of how supposedly gynocentric Wikipedia is. Flyer22 (talk) 06:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Are you seriously going to use an obvious false flag by whoever made that thread post in an attempt to silence and ignore users like me and many others who are here, within this discussion, from genuine reasons? For the record, I arrived here following your post at WP:MED, which I have on my watchlist. Many long-term Wikipedians here likely arrived from similar noticeboards (e.g. AfD noticeboard, WP countering systemic bias), and probably don't appreciate what you're writing right now. We don't close a thread because it's tainted by SPAs, we simply ignore the SPAs and weigh the discussion based on arguments rather than numbers, like how it's always been. Just so you know, anyone can make an anonymous post on the internet, and unless you have access to the IP logs, you can't determine that simply who is writing what. --benlisquareTCE 07:46, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Boo! I stand by my "06:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)" post because, among other things, it addresses the obvious inappropriate WP:Canvassing, whether we consider that so-called bait thread or not.

    You're being unconstructive here. Why not use a simple mechanism to determine who should and shouldn't be here? If they have <50 edits OR made their account within the past 72 hours, their opinion is given less weight, and if they don't meet this criteria, it's business as usual? Why are you so intent on being deceptive about who's participating in this discussion? It's a very cheap ploy, and it's an unconstuctive attitude to have on a collaborative encyclopedia project.

    Your defense of this mess is unconstructive.

And minutes ago, I just noticed your "backpedal away" post; I'm not backpedaling away from anything; stating "I stand by my '06:22, 1 March 2015 (UTC)' post" is the exact opposite of backpedaling. If you want to defend the poor rationales to keep the Violence against men article, and the obvious barely-there editors, it would be better for you to find a different editor to preach to.

    You still show your inexperience on this matter. I looked at each one of the WP:Single purpose accounts' and barely-there editors' edit histories before your inaccurate "09:05, 1 March 2015 (UTC)" post above. I essentially stated that the vast majority of Wikipedians in this deletion debate are inappropriately WP:Canvassed; they are inappropriately WP:Canvassed. And by "Wikipedians," I mean the IPs in addition to the WP:Single purpose accounts and other barely-there editors. You should become more familiar with what WP:Single purpose accounts and WP:Dormant accounts are and how they operate. You can learn from the WP:Dormant accounts I pointed to in my "16:59, 28 February 2015 (UTC)" post above. The number of years an editor has been registered with Wikipedia and/or that Wikipedian's edit count can mean nothing in such cases. For example, we have editors who have been registered with Wikipedia for years, but are essentially WP:Newbies because of their sporadic editing that has been spread between years, as in this case. Look at some of these accounts that have similar edit histories. I am not feigning ignorance; I am speaking from knowledge/experience. You are either feigning ignorance or simply don't know what you are talking about. You are also extending drama by trying to school me, when you are the one who needs to be schooled on matters such as these. And if I'm putting my "emotional reaction above [...] logical decision making," so are you. But then again, I am going on logic because I am noting the massive WP:Canvassing that has gone in this deletion debate, and that this deletion debate is a joke because of the rationales given for keeping the Violence against men article and because of the massive WP:Canvassing. Again, "If you want to defend the poor rationales to keep the Violence against men article, and the obvious barely-there editors, it would be better for you to find a different editor to preach to." You are wasting your time debating with me. Flyer22 (talk) 09:33, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    There are a bunch of canvassed users. So what? Ignore them, and only pay attention to the arguments of those who are long-term regulars here, and I assure you, there are still plenty of them around here. Earlier on, you claimed that very few people here were genuine editors and the majority were SPAs/dormant accounts, a claim which was complete nonsense. "You are wasting your time debating with me" - in other words, "lalala, I can't hear you"? I've made my points perfectly clear. It is dishonest to state that a discussion should be closed because SPAs have taken part, because it is unfair on those editors who are here with honest intentions. I assure you, the closing admin is not stupid, and he won't fall for a bunch of nobodies who have barely any presence on Wikipedia, so you really have no reason to become overly concerned over this like you currently are. --benlisquareTCE 09:40, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    "your inaccurate ... post above" Explain how it's inaccurate, pray tell. The figures are precisely accurate, up to that exact point in time, and taken directly from the site itself. I based my judgement on who is and isn't an SPA based on how much total edits they had, and what kind of user privileges they have. You have claimed that I am wrong, yet you do not elaborate on how you come to that conclusion. --benlisquareTCE 09:50, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    You stated, "There are a bunch of canvassed users. So what?" Well, that's one reason why I can't take you seriously. You stated, "Earlier on, [I] claimed that very few people here were genuine editors." No, I stated that the vast majority of Wikipedians in this deletion debate are inappropriately WP:Canvassed. That is different wording. But, regardless... That the vast majority of Wikipedians in this deletion debate are inappropriately WP:Canvassed does indeed make it so that the significant majority of editors in this deletion debate are not genuine editors. You still don't know what you are talking about. My interaction with you is not a matter of "lalala, I can't hear you." It's a matter of "lalala, I know more than you. Move on now." And do stop with your "overly concerned" mess. Either way, I now know to avoid you in the future. Flyer22 (talk) 09:53, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Rather than brushing me off with a snarky attitude, again, I'd like you to explain how Cirt, James500, Marteau, Reyk, Carrite, Topbanana, myself, BabbaQ, Ruby2010, Doc James and George100 should not have their opinions taken into account. This time without the "I'm better than you, by the way here's a bunch of WP links that you've probably already read" wall of text. --benlisquareTCE 10:02, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm familiar with some of those editors, and I respect their opinions (the ones I'm familiar with and know to be good editors); Cirt and Doc James know that I respect theirs. But the keep votes in this deletion debate hold no weight...for reasons others have made clear in this discussion. Flyer22 (talk) 10:06, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Let the closing admin decide then. That's fair, right? If these editors have great arguments, then great. If these editors have poor arguments, then great. There is no reason to prematurely close the discussion. --benlisquareTCE 10:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    And yet again. If narcissism has no place on Wikipedia, calling someone a narcissist surely does not. But, from what I've seen of your behavior here, at WP:Med, and occasionally elsewhere, you are no one good to collaborate with. Flyer22 (talk) 10:01, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Well aren't you the pot calling the kettle black. Not only can't you accept that someone disagrees with you, you need to resort to taking others out of context in order to debate them. For instance, "There are a bunch of canvassed users. So what?" was not the end of my point, yet you cherrypicked those exact sentences to make it as if I'm carefree towards editors disrupting Wikiipedia en-masse. You refuse to get the point, and choose to selectively read what other people write. At least the closing admin now has plenty reason to think twice about anything he reads, thanks for your help. --benlisquareTCE 10:12, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I call the kettle black sometimes. Not in this case. The rest of your summary of me is so absurd, and applies your behaviors to me (for example, inaccurately presenting what someone stated), that it doesn't deserve a response. And, yes, your rambling, drawing even more attention to the WP:Canvassing has, in my opinion, worked out well. Flyer22 (talk) 10:20, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I would probably be a bit more forgiving in my responses to you if you weren't so condescending. It is unfortunate that the atmosphere has soured to this state, I guess neither of us are willing to compromise on our points. At this point in time, the best decision would be to leave it to the rest of the community. --benlisquareTCE 10:32, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Note to Benlisquare - I have removed my name from your list twice now. I do not give you permission to slander my name, and will revert any attempt to re-add it to your list. Further attempts to add it to that list will result in administrator action. If you wish to discuss this matter, you can use my talk page. Thank you.

    While appreciating the attempt to quantify things, this is fairly crap evidence either way since I'm listed as "obviously canvassed" but wasn't. This bizarre assumption that only people with thousands of edits care about Wikipedia content is the reason it took me so long to create an account in the first place. Jay Vogler (talk) 21:14, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I have not been canvassed and am offended by the suggestion. I found this discussion on my own. Please do not cast aspersions. I am also offended by the implication of "not being a real Wikipedian". This nonsense is the kind of thing that ensures my continued refusal to get an account. 76.64.13.4 (talk) 23:41, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Everyone who's been hinted at potentially being canvassed, when given the chance, will deny the allegation. You cannot deny that most people would do this, and if I were also someone with a 2 month old account and 17 edits, I would do the same. The issue is, how can you demonstrate to everyone that you weren't? It's very difficult to, and given the dire circumstances of this discussion, leniency works to a disadvantage. Why are people all of a sudden coming over here to weigh in, if they aren't being canvassed? You might take offense, but it does appear extremely suspicious when an editor with 20 edits from 2007 suddenly shows up. --benlisquareTCE 01:28, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    The problem with that logic is that the burden of proof rests on the accuser to prove guilt, not the accused to prove innocence. Suspicion is not proof. If it was, courts wouldn't exist. That's why those speaking out against your list have been doing so. Seth Forsman PhD (talk) 02:01, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    In that case I guess you should convince Flyer22 that you're all here on genuine terms, since she's the one who believes that the majority of you are WP:Dormant accounts brought here by request. I don't have as much of a huge gripe, and the purpose of that rough list was to make a point to Flyer22, not to specifically segregate users into definite categories. Her argument is that because you people are present, the discussion should be closed. --benlisquareTCE 03:04, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • WP:N has never required that topics be international, so that isn't really an argument against this article. We normally accept national topics, and often sub-national ones. OTHERSTUFF is an essay, and it admits that such arguments may not always be devoid of merit. That essay is primarily concerned with arguments that an article should not be deleted because similar articles, which may also be invalid, have not yet been deleted; the essay might not be applicable where the similar article is admitted to be valid.

    Notability still not established and entire article is still SYNTH. NUKEANDPAVE. EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 18:57, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Since the article has changed so much, I'm reaffirming my delete suggestion. The main issue now is the topic/scope. The article needs to be about violence against men because they are men, not violence against people who happen to be men. Compare to violence against women where it says, this type of violence targets a specific group with the victim's gender as a primary motive. So far that primary motive have not been established in general and on the few instances where it is, that material is best kept in their respective articles. There is no academic or political acknowledgement of violence against men as a social problem or much of anything that talks about men as targets of crimes because they are men (again, compare to violence against women and the international recognition of the problem). EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 18:33, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Comparing this article to a similar article is OR. This article is not a comparison to violence against women. USchick (talk) 19:03, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Has "Violence against men" been researched extensively as the converse? Of course not.
    But calling for the deletion of a subject with which the usurper may or may not have personal issues with is both callous and a form of censorship. In principal, such philosophy flies against Wikipedia's expressed purpose.Grillmaster423 (talk) 06:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    You misunderstand, most likely deliberately. None of the content in the current article is appropriate, and slimming down the article to the single sentence of value that would persist: "Violence against men is violence against men" is grounds enough for deletion. Rather if the article were to be recreated it would require the use of the extensive sociological, anthropological and psychological literature that is available, instead of using io9 sensationalist nonsense combined with random statistics. Even a notable topic needs to at least reach stub status to be included in Wikipedia. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 13:05, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I misunderstand nothing. The fact is, you admit the topic is notable, you admit there is information available to improve it, you admit it can be improved, yet rather than give it a little time to improve, you advocate its outright deletion. That is, as I said, astounding. Marteau (talk) 13:19, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Yes you do. Articles may be deleted for lack of content, regardless of whether they have potential to be improved. I do not oppose having the article, simply having such an abysmal article as was this one in its previous state. Some of my concerns have been dealt with, but I still stand behind that without the improvements it should have been deleted. -- CFCF 🍌 (email) 13:35, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Not serious enough to produce any evidence. I'm still waiting to see evidence of the editor's "strong anti-male views" and "conflict of interest". It sounds more like personal attacks than "serious questions" to me. Haminoon (talk) 00:39, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Actually, it would be like the creator of National Association of Police Organizations, championing police, calling for the deletion of Police brutality, a page portraying police in a negative light. Or neo-Nazis calling for the deletion of the Holocaust page.. For someone who cares enough to create a whole project championing a specific gender's rights and then calls for the DELETION of a page which intimately concerns the opposite gender. Any user who calls for DELETION of any active page should and always will have their motives questioned.Grillmaster423 (talk) 02:47, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Exactly what Grillmaster423 said. The claim that these concerns are just "specious" and "a thinly-veiled personal attack" are flat out false and nothing more than a flippant personal attack in and of itself in a vain attempt to discredit differing opinion. These concerns of the submitter's background and motives are very relevant and very important to the discussion at hand and need to be taken into serious consideration.

    For instance, in the US, Police shoot and kill men at a much higher ratio than they do women. According to a Mother Jones article of arrest-related deaths, there were "4,594 arrest-related deaths of men in 2003-2009, versus :218 for women. In other words, 95% of those deaths are of men, 19 times more than women."
    Other instances of violence specifically directed at men is with the recruitment of child soldiers of Africa. The violence is unique because the perpetrators turn their victims into lifellong instigators of the violence as :well.
    Psychological violence has been conducted on men to a much higher degree in the military, where males were and are frequently subjected to a higher degree of verbal and physical abuse than their female counterparts.
    Sexual violence against men has been conducted during medevil times with the flaying of Eunuch
    Domestic violence against men is also an issue (Lorena Bobbit dismembered husband's genitals, Andrea Yates killed her and husband's five children - 4 boys and 1 girl.).
    Prison violence in the form of sexual abuse has been perpetrated by female guards against male inmates.
    Social violence against men as in when extreme feminists attempt to censor very real subjects on the sole basis of their own biases. Then when their own personal biases are called into question, decry sexism.
    The list is ongoing. Granted, the topic is not well researched, but it does indeed have definable parameters of "specific types" of violent actions conducted against men - explicitly.Grillmaster423 (talk) 19:55, 28 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment: On top of that definition of "Sexism" being a feminist-only definition (not the accepted definition of the world at-large), the article isn't about "only" male on male violence.

    Any argument to the effect that a poor article on a valid topic must be improved within the deadline of an AfD cannot normally be entertained. Firstly, it conflicts with the editing and deletion policies. Secondly, it would allow people to force the mass deletion of large numbers of articles by deliberately swamping AfD with far more nominations than limited manpower of the system can handle.

    Serious question: What's wrong with the diffs you cite as "crap"? Circumcision of male infants (which can never be with the infant's consent) is regarded by many activists as "unnecessary", "a violation of rights", "harmful and unethical", etc. It involves physical force to damage bodily integrity, and is thus "violence" by an entirely reasonable definition. And the example of gender-biased conscription is reliably sourced and unarguably a question of violence. Perhaps it is not the most encyclopedic content, but it is far from being beyond repair, and it illustrates that there is clearly enough material under the broad subject heading to meet GNG. (You know, in case the category and its multiple subcategories somehow didn't make the point. 76.64.13.4 (talk) 06:15, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    If you want to include circumcision as an example of violence against men, you have to reference it with a source that actually defines it as violence against men. WP:V applies here as much as anywhere else.

    The article has been substantially improved since the afd was started. Would you care to explain why the afd "seems entirely political"? --Haminoon (talk) 23:59, 1 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Haminoon: As per Cirt[25] this article was aleady in good shape—still in need of further work but in no condition warranting deletion. The nominator's WikiProject memberships also raises a warning flag with me with regard to COI, especially as gender issues are highly politicized to begin with. In my eyes, this AfD looks bad. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 01:13, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    And before you respond to me the way you have to others in this AfD, let me just preemptively counter with the appearance of COI does not mean there is a conflict of interest; however it remains suggestive, correctly or not. I am not trying to cast aspersions on the nominator, but especially after the GGTF debacle, editors should be wary of taking actions that could lead to people making such assumptions of COI in the first place. // coldacid (talk|contrib) 01:16, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Have you actually read COI? I don't see how "full of absurd factual errors" can equal "in good shape". But then maybe I have a COI because I worked on a page of woman at some point.--Haminoon (talk) 02:23, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    If you are alleging that the article is full of absurd factual errors, perhaps you'd care to point to one? 76.64.13.4 (talk) 06:19, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    We were talking about the article when the afd was started, but here are some removals: 1, 2, 3. --Haminoon (talk) 06:28, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not seeing factual errors. wcd.nic.in actually is the "Ministry of Women & Child Development, Govt. of India"; their PDF does in fact claim that more boys than girls were victims of sexual abuse - PDF page 88, labelled page 74 states Out of the total child respondents, 53.22% reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse that included severe and other forms. Among them 52.94% were boys and 47.06% girls. On the next page we read In fact 9 out of 13 States reported higher percentage of sexual abuse among boys as compared to girls, with states like Delhi reporting a figure of 65.64%., and Out of the total child respondents, 20.90% were subjected to severe forms of sexual abuse that included sexual assault, making the child fondle private parts, making the child exhibit private body parts and being photographed in the nude. Out of these 57.30% were boys and 42.70% were girls. So, yes, the study does in fact explicitly state the conclusion that you say it doesn't come to. It also cites a study by Save the Children claiming that Among respondents, 48% of boys and 39% of the girls faced sexual abuse.
    The claims being made by the Government of India study are restricted to India, and were represented as such in the diff you removed. The WHO estimate (not a specific study) they mention, OTOH, gives worldwide numbers, which the Government of India reasonably believes to be underestimates based on their own findings. Your assertion that it quotes a WHO study that says the opposite is the factual inaccuracy here.
    Regarding the claims about prison rape, you appear to be claiming that something printed in an unreliable source is necessarily an "absurd factual error", because it contradicts your assertion that Most rapes are not reported - one for which you provide no citation. For what it's worth, Wikipedia's article on rape by gender already reports, with multiple reliable sources, that Several studies argue that male-male prisoner rape, as well as female-female prisoner rape, are common types of rape which go unreported even more frequently than rape in the general population. 76.64.13.4 (talk) 06:55, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I maintain the Indian government study didn't come to the conclusion presented in the wiki article. The report authors understand statistical significance. Re prison sexual assault, the claim in rape by gender is quite different to the claims in the edits I linked to above. You clearly didn't read the edit summaries. --Haminoon (talk) 08:36, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I won't discuss this further on this page - would make sense to do so on the article talk page if need be. --Haminoon (talk) 08:54, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    War and genocide are covered in War and Genocide.-- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 19:35, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    but that is just the point - they are about an aspect of genocide, not about an aspect of "violence against men".
    I genuinely don't understand this stance. We have thousands and thouands of articles on overlapping topics, but provided with a single example of reliable sources with serious, scholarly discussion about violence, you argue that we can't have this because we have a top-level article on it. This is not constructive debate.

    If we have topics that B, C, D, E that sources have discussed we can have articles about B, C, D, E.

    I did not mean to insult or offend anyone, EvergreenFir. I was simply (sarcastically) quoting the many allegations against feminists that use "radical feminist" as an insult. I apologize for my tone. As such, I have modified my comment to reflect this view. I hope this helps clarify my meaning. — kikichugirl oh hello! 22:03, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kikichugirl: Thank you and yes that does clarify it. Cheers! EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 22:07, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    @Kikichugirl: I'm curious what you mean re: "Is [violence against men] on the same scale as violence against women? No, I don't think so." Unless you're talking about a very specific form of violence, I'm fairly certain violence against men is considerably more prevalent. If we're talking about violence against men because they're men vs against women because they're women, I might agree with you. Even then, the degree of violence is a factor (ie women initiating domestic violence more frequently vs women being survivors of serious injury due to domestic violence more frequently). Separately, I wanna thank you for contributing to the discussion. I think you're on point.Yhufir (talk) 22:31, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I assume they mean proportional victimhood compared to perpetration. Men commit more crime and are victims of more crime in sheer numbers, but women are disproportionately victimized. EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 22:37, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I'm not trying to make this an issue here or hijack the topic, I really am just curious: "Disproportionate" compared to what? I have a hard time believing women are more frequently victims of violence. It also seems dubious that women are disproportionately targeted by men (or women for that matter). Are we saying that women are disproportionately victimized in terms of ratios? I just don't understand how that could make sense.Yhufir (talk) 00:35, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

    Amazing. You aregue that the current article is WP:SYN and then offer your own novel synthesis as a reason to keep. I really don't think a proper article can be written at this title. It's been tried, for a long time, and failed miserably thus far. Guy (Help!) 22:47, 2 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    I offered policy-based reasons, and then added an opinion. It's been done many many times in AfD arguments, and there's nothing particularly wrong with it. Also, it would be worth your time to examine the previous AfD votes. The first two are for completely different articles than what currently exists, and had very little participation from the broader community. And like I said, there is scholarly coverage of this exact subject in reliable third-party sources. Forget my opinion and focus on that. —Torchiest talkedits 12:07, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    IP addresses shouldn't be allowed to vote, as in many/most cases user can easily get a new IP address simply rebooting the modem, or changing modem MAC address, or stopping by at another coffee house location with WiFi. There is no reliable way to establish the credentials of such users, nor can there be. Anybody half knowledgeable can cast many votes from IP addresses without much effort or time investment.

    You'd have a point if all I did was do a google search. Instead I looked specifically for scholarly articles on the subject. I've linked a few below. Thanks for being overtly dissmissive before investigating the subject at all though and lumping me in with obviously canvassed MRM SPAs. Capeo (talk) 23:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    As I noted in the post directly above yours I'd say a Google Scholar search [42] does indeed show the subject has more than enough scholarly interest to support an article and GNG. Capeo (talk) 13:06, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Uh, in what way? From the top 20 results, I see none that purport to be about the general topic of "violence against men" – all fall neatly into the categories of "domestic violence", "sexual violence", and "violence against women", all of which are actual subjects of academic discussion and all of which we already have articles on. IgnorantArmies (talk) 13:56, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    [43], [44], [45], [46], [47], [48], [49], [50] and I could go. Do the types of violence researched tend to fall into categories as you describe? Yes, they do. As does every bit of research about violence against women so you could make the same argument against that article. Capeo (talk) 23:19, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Lots of faulty logic happening here. Women can't take up arms? Only untrained civilian men can take up arms? Who will supply the weapons? The definition is not sourced, so it hasn't been decided whether or not "because they were men" is part of the definition. In any case, men have been losing their lives disproportionately for centuries and the violence is justified by society. This article is not passing judgment, it's presenting facts. USchick (talk) 16:07, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    But it's not because they are victims because of their gender. That's what the article is about: violence against men because they are men. That's what makes the topic notable for all "Violence against FOOBAR". The article is not and should not be some collect of issues related to men and violence. EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 17:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    A discussion about the definition belongs on the talk page. There's already a section there. USchick (talk) 17:39, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    It deserves mention here as without that definition, it automatically fails GNG. We're trying to see if with that definition if it deserves deletion or not. EvergreenFir (talk) Please ((re)) 19:28, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Agreed. Just because the discussion is relevant to the talk page doesn't mean that it's not also relevant here. EastTN (talk) 19:38, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Actually, this strikes me as fairly arbitrary demand. It's like asking that a precise, unambiguous definition for topics like Germans in India or women in science and calling for deletion if none can be precisely agreed upon. You have set up this condition by referring only to violence against women even though it's very clear that the nature of violence against women and men are entirely different. Peter Isotalo 19:55, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    In the examples you give, Germans in India or women in science, most folks are going to have a pretty clear idea of what the article is about. There may be some ambiguity around the edges, but the basic topic is easily understood. Coming to it cold, I would have assumed that "Violence against men" dealt with violence uniquely directed against men, rather than violence that just happened to affect one or more men. In any case, the scope matters, in part because we need to evaluate how many reliable sources are available for the subject matter within the scope of the article. We just need to know what the "it" is that we're talking about having an article on. EastTN (talk) 21:27, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Why on earth does your assumption about the topic matter here? Or the personal assumptions of any other user? It's very clear that "violence against men" simply means "violence directed against men". It's no more complicated than any variant of "X of/in/from/against Y". And I assure you that I could present just as many arbitrary demands to the examples I gave. Nationals of Germany or German-speakers? India as a nation or a sub-continent? Historically or contemporary? Women working with science or being the subject of science? Natural science or academics in general? I could go on forever. What you're talking about here is content, plain and simple. It has absolutely nothing to do with whether the article topic is valid or not.
    Peter Isotalo 23:29, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedians cannot set up an article title and then drop things that we think are related to it. The topic itself has to be a subject of discourse and the items entered into the article must be discussed within that context by the original authors, WP:OR, particularly WP:SYN. -- TRPoD aka The Red Pen of Doom 23:12, 3 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
