Those articles should be deleted because they are not core articles. Panda Bear 14:48, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- (I have merged the two other requests into this one, my guess is the verdict will likely be the same on all three articles; but feel free to treat them separately in your replies). I fully agree with Panda Bear, that certain Dragonball Z characters are certainly not a core concern of this wikipedia at the moment. This is especially so, since mangas are serials that may develop many different characters. On the content side, all the articles are about 2-3 screens long. Frieza is about double the size of the other two. A quick look told me that these articles are low on links, both inside the wiki, and to other wikis. Very likely, the language is also complex. This means that it could be simplified. This wiki lives from the contributions of its editors, so if someone takes an interest in Dragonball Z, there will be more articles about Dragonball Z. I very much hope, that if we keep the articles, they will be simplified (and perhaps wikified more, where this is possible), possibly by their original creator. There are definitely too big to be merged into a catchall article. I think we should give the articles a chance, and keep them. They need a complex, and a wikify tag, in any case. --Eptalon 20:15, 17 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and delete. The Dragon Ball Z article is only one sentence and a list of characters. As the main character only has about three lines of text, Zarbon and Dodoria barely need mentioned and while Frieza is a fairly important character, the overall state of the main article doesnt warrant an entire article on him. (and delete the category Frieza's henchmen as well) -- Creol(talk) 13:35, 18 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment - I've just looked further into this and have discovered something a little strange about some of the people who have voted for this article and that is that they all joined Simple English Wikipedia today. I am not accusing them of sockpuppetry, but it's certainly very suspicious that these people joined within 39 minutes of each other and voted within five minutes of joining. I'd like to note also that all of these people are begging to keep the article and that YogaKing37 keeps trying to close the RFD when he has no power to do so. I have noticed how the signatures of these users are similar. All of them do not use the standard ~~~~ as instructed. Instead they all use a link to their user page (Except YogaKing37), possibly in an attempt to hide the time of their vote. Also, several of these other users keep reverting this page to delete my comments, which leads me to think that they must be guilty, otherwise they wouldn't mind them staying.

We are currently far too small to be having WikiProjects created yet. Included in this nomination are the Category:WikiProject_Taiwan_articles, Template:WikiProject Taiwan, and all associated redirects. Sean William 18:40, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. As you can see in the goal section, one of the goals is to "create missing articles," so I believe we should keep this. And I just left a note on your talkpage, but I'm gonna mention what I said again: The project not only serves as a project to improve Taiwan-related articles, it also helps interwiki translation, although I believe the project isn't functioning yet as I haven't completed the project page.--Jerrypp772000 18:45, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - I think there are currently between 20 and 40 different people who do have a named account, and contribute regularly (i.e. at least one edit a week). I do not know this from statistics, but I guess the number looking at the recent changes. Given such a limited number, we certainly do not need a WikiProject for it. I do however think that to coordinate translation/proofreading etc, a common repository/space/scrapbook is useful. If there was no wikiproject we would either have a collection of talk pages where this was done, or some other (perhaps unrelated) page. So I think we should give the idea a chance. We can always delete it in 3 months, when we see that it did not work out (eg. for lack of editors). --Eptalon 19:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep if it's going to help us work together with other projects. However, I'm not sure whether interwiki translation efforts would be better centralised rather than split up into Chinese to English, Russian to English etc. It sounds to me like you'd just end up with a large mess of inactive translation projects. But this project should be given a chance to meet that aim I think. Archer7 - talk 19:56, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I agree with Sean on this. I think that user talk pages would provide room for coordination, if needed. My definition of an 'active' editor is a lot higher than 1 edit per week, and I am afraid that as Archer mentions there could be a lot of inactive projects. I'm not opposed to projects; however, I believe a need for a project page needs to be demonstrated before creating one. Right now, I don't see a need, there hasn't been a huge influx of Taiwan articles, not a lot of editors on those pages, only a promise. - BrownE34 talk contribs 20:15, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete as it is not logical to have a WikiProject with one member, who is a new comer with no prominant edit history. I disagree with "We are currently far too small to be having WikiProjects" part, but I agree this special case should be deleted. In regard to Jerrypp772000's comment, I would say, yes we can have WikiProjects if they are really going to let some interested users to manage their work about specific topics. However, I believe it is more logical that such types of users make such a decision prior to creating a WikiProject, and not to create a WikiProject beforehand. - Huji reply 19:29, 13 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, we need to stay far, far away from non-babel userboxes. Userboxes have caused a huge amount of strife at en.wiki, and I think it would be wonderful if we could avoid the whole problem. Sean William 15:27, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The number of active admins is so high, that I believe they can manage through such issues, and control the usage of non-babel userboxes. It is good to know, as well, that not having that page doesn't prohibit creating and using non-babel user boxes. So all in all, although I see no use of this page right now, I see no harm in it as well. - Huji reply 18:49, 15 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Perhaps I am going a bit far to justify my verdict here. This is a small wikipedia project. There are very few regular contributors. To make this project more interesting to contributors, there are user pages. On these, the users can give an image of themselves to the rest of the community. In that view, I think userboxes may help attract new editors. Therefore, I do not think that deleting alll non-language-related userboxes. I therefore think we should keep the ones we have now. When we get new ones, however, we should see that they are simple to understand, to fit this project. --Eptalon 14:49, 16 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- The article comes across as more of a guide to me, than an article, so I'd agree to transwiki-ing it to Simple English Wikibooks. Majorly (hot!) 10:34, 11 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Although only few people voted on this, the consesus seems to be to move this to wikibooks.--Eptalon 20:07, 18 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Result: I have copied over the contents to Wikibooks (here) and deleted the page in Simple Wikipedia. --Eptalon 10:43, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
The article does not discuss why this is a notable military formation. A google search comes up with very few legitmate hits. Nothing links to this page. If the page does need to exist, it should be merged with the Waffen SS page. - BrownE34 talk contribs 17:29, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- The vote above is invalid, as it was given by an unnamed editor. The user has been blocked for being rude towards an editor (tygartl1) here as well. --Eptalon 19:48, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- I don't think it's really necessary to have an article on a division of the SS, when we can just expand the existing Waffen-SS page by introducing all of the divisions there. It would seem like a more logical thing to do. Nishkid64 (talk) 22:53, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- It's necessary to have articles on all the Waffen-SS divisions, just like it's necessary to have articles on every album from a band.--Wiking 23:49, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Albums from bands are completely different from each other. I perceive this divisions to be the same thing, except with some minor differences here and there. (such as date, location, etc.) Nishkid64 (talk) 00:46, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - not notable. It's own reference states it only existed 5 months and never got past the training stage before being disbanded. (its reference also contradicts the article on date of disbandment.) Of all the divisions to chose from, this one is likely the least notable of the group and yet it is the only one with an article. -- Creol(talk) 12:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:All those of you that voted to keep the article, please say if you want a separate article or a section in Waffen-SS, with a redirect. Makes things easier. --Eptalon 20:07, 16 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Current votes: 5x delete, 2x keep, 1x keep&merge ; I therefore deleted the article--Eptalon 10:17, 20 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
No longer needed now that we have SE Wiktionary. It looks like the article failed RfD the first time because SE Wiktionary was not getting many contributions at that point in time. I'm not sure eactly why it failed the second time. Something about keeping it for historical reasons. I don't think we need it at all. The page has pretty much been abandoned. Here's a link to the first nomination (scroll down a little to find it...) and here's a link to the second nomination. · Tygartl1·talk· 18:14, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Category:Names (edit|[[Talk:Category:Names|talk]]|history|links|watch|logs|delete)
These entries list names, where the name comes from, and perhaps what the name means. In my opinion, this information does not belong into a general-purpose encyclopedia; I therefore think these articles should be deleted. They may be moved to another suitable Wikiproject, if desired. --Eptalon 11:00, 2 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- all of the subcategories under Category:Names (this would result in the same number of articles but they are all in the Category:Names) or
- all of the articles in the subcategories of Category:Names (this would delete all of the articles that are in Category:English Names, French Names, Gaelic Names, German Names, Hebrew Names, Latin Names--leaving only the articles that are in Categpry:Names) or
- all of the articles in the Category:Names (thus resulting in the deletion of Category:Names) or
- something else entirely?
I ask only because I am confused by your wording and do not know exactly what you are proposing we do. Thanks. · Tygartl1·talk· 22:40, 8 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- sidenote: if the subcategories are kept, the Ns all need to be changed to ns (for example, English Names-->English names). It's really not worth going through the effort of changing them until we know if they are being kept or deleted. · Tygartl1·talk· 02:22, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Hello, Tygartl1. I am suggesting that we delete Category:Names. We leave the sub-categories untouched. :) Hope this clears any misunderstanding.-- Tdxiang 09:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- By the way, Eptalon, what do you suggest?-- Tdxiang 09:05, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Of the currenlty 15 articles in category Names, 8 look like they are worth keeping (one is a redirect). If we find (or make) another category for these, the whole cat:Names, with all subcats, and all articles can be deleted. SEWp is not the place to look up where the name Max came from, what it might mean, and if there were any notable people with that name. --Eptalon 10:26, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Anonymity, Family name, Given name, Maiden name, Name, Nickname, Pen name, Pseudonym, Stage name. We could try to find them new homes, but I don't see much harm in keeping them in the Category:Names. We can use this vote to set precedence in not having articles on first and last names and delete any new additions to Category:Names in the future which are actual names. Delete all other articles in the Category:Names. Delete the categories English Names, French Names, Gaelic Names, German Names, Hebrew Names, Latin Names and all articles that are in them. · Tygartl1·talk· 13:55, 9 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Tygartl1's proposal; keep the articles listed, delete the other articles; subcategories and articles in them. --Eptalon 09:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Tygartl1's proposal. - BrownE34 talk contribs 19:12, 10 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Result: Kept the 9 articles Tygartl1 listed, plus Kunya (needs a cat now, but possibly useful content). Frank was/is a disambiguation page, and has been cleaned up (to only list the meanings we actually have here). Diaz also was such a page; however all were red links, so I redirected to Bartolomeu Dias, the only one of the meanings we have. Abraham, Gabriel and Joseph have been rewritten to only fit the Bible category. One or two others also had minor characters from the bible in them. They were deleted. If the character is important enough, the article about him/her will be recreated. Deleted the now obsolete subcategories as well. --Eptalon 18:16, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Exact copy of the english language article;no interwiki links even in en. Very much looks like a vanity page. --Eptalon 17:10, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. If one internet blogger can have a page on a wikipedia why can't any blogger have a page? Where do we draw the line, how is popularity and importance measured? It would be good precedent to delete this page, otherwise it's a slippery slope. - BrownE34 talk contribs 05:38, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

- NKVD (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)
These three pages are copy-pastes from English Wikipedia. The editor who created the pages has had one week to simplify and has made no changes to the pages. Unless someone wants to step up to simplify, they should be deleted. They serve no purpose in their current state. · Tygartl1·talk· 18:41, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I have simplified Rostov on Don, to a state that I think could be generally acceptable for this Wikipedia. There are still quite a few red links left, and the language is not yet as polished as it could be. I do not know if the generaly bad English is for the original translation (I cannot speak Russian). In short, I no longer see a need to delete the article. Therefore Keep & improve for Rostov on Don. --Eptalon 20:59, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- NKVD is most certainly a notable article. Many people from the former Soviet Union and the Eastern Bloc are now learning English. It might take a long time to simplify this article and bring it into a form which is good for our Wikipedia. I therefore see two possible choices: Either Keep & Tag (Major effort needed) or get someone with a decent knowledge of the subject or the Russian language re-translate it (also a major effort). In the second case, the article we have now should be deleted, once the translation is done. --Eptalon 21:08, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
