Neologism for lucid dreaming sleep paralysis. I couldn't find any relevant google hits. —Cryptic (talk) 00:03, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. It was doing quite well until the last sentence. However, I can't get any ghits for things like "Dashboard effect" sleep or "dashboard effect" awake, so reckon it's either a 'logism or slang I've not heard of. Either way, do not redirect. -Splash 00:05, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Neologism. Amren (talk) 00:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Clean up - I've heard of it on a few paranormal phenomena-related TV specials, I believe it was on the History Channel. UniReb 00:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Did they use the term "dashboard effect" for it? --DavidConrad 03:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge with sleep paralysis if some reference can be found. Crypticfirefly 01:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep & Clean up. Its seems notable.
- Journalist, could you please indicate in at least some of your "keep, it seems notable" votes what it is about the article being discussed that makes you think it's notable? Or is everything ever written in Wikipedia notable? Zoe 22:01, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and do not redirect unless it can be verified. Is there anything here that isn't already covered by sleep paralysis? --DavidConrad 03:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, I believe the author is referring to lucid dreaming. -- Kjkolb 05:40, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete with NO redirect, unless some credible reference suddenly pops up. Even then, no more than a redirect. Joyous (talk) 20:45, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete, no redirect, unless verified. Dpbsmith (talk) 23:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'M pretty sure this is a joke. I originally put a speedy tag on this, but I'm going to list it here instead, on the very small chance that there actually is something called BTP!--Shanel 00:12, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete and confine to BJAODN. It's not my fault! --WCFrancis 01:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, hoax. Contrast with IP over Pigeon, an implemented protocol. — Lomn | Talk / RfC 05:08:21, 2005-09-03 (UTC)
- BJAODN, AfD is better than the funny pages anyday. Alf melmac 12:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- BJAODN CAERWINE to SHANE1 : WHO ? Caerwine 00:46, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I like the article, I think it would be appropriate (if expanded) for an April 1 Internet RFC, like the one on TCP/IP by Carrier pidgeon, but a joke specification, unless it is to give information about the reason for the joke or has some other significance, is not really appropriate to Wikipedia. Paul Robinson 21:43, 4 September 2005 (UTC) Update: I agree, it belongs in Bad Jokes Paul Robinson 23:08, 5 September 2005 (UTC).[reply]

non-notable. Delete — Preceding unsigned comment added by Shanel (talk • contribs) 00:16, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete nn forumcruft. Alexa rank is 3,600,000th or so which is very low for a website around since 2001. They say "first" site; I can't find a subsequent more notable one elsewhere. -Splash 00:23, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I've definitely heard of this clan because I think I remember playing with an KOTL clan member on AOE2 years ago, yet they're not notable on a Wiki-level. UniReb 00:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete—not notable
- Delete - Completely unworthy of a Wiki article. 00:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)
- Delete-An online gaming clan does NOT belong in a self-respecting encyclopedia. --Gpyoung talk 16:46, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Very good article...LOL.
- Keep - Online video games are as much of a sport as football, soccer, or baseball and therefore are noteworthy in any respectable encyclopedia. The article is informative in the respect of historical accuracy of an online sporting team.
- Delete - Unnecessary. Catzrthecoolest 23:30, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, forumcruft. Nandesuka 02:07, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, as we are not a web guide. The picture needs to go, too. Joyous (talk) 22:51, September 5, 2005 (UTC)
- I'm not exactly familiar with the correct way to go about this, but I just recently found this article, and am ashamed and embarassed by it. I am KOTL_AdMiRaL and I obviously take my online image WAY too seriously). I'm the founder of the clan, and a full-time college student in Virginia. This is not the type of site for gaming clans, and this article should be deleted. How do I go about this? Thanks.
- Don't worry, given the debate above it will deleted in due course. These debates usually last about 5 days, after which an admin will come along and delete it. -Splash 14:06, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- yeah...quite a debate going on here.
- My name is LeGenD Sultan and I am offended by this article. Please remove it before I make a wiki arrest on KOTL_AdMiRaL.
- Delete - We've seen the idiotic responses (see LeGeNd Sultan's remark) this article has generated, they're a non-notable clan, its patent nonsense, and also violates "What Wikipedia is Not" policy.--Knucmo2 00:30, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Speedy Delete as per above Rhyddfrydol 09:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Google search on Tythreck is empty. Google search on Neverwinter Nights + Snowmoon OR Neverwinter Nights + Snowlake provides small number of hits. Furthermore, article does not explain significance of Tythreck beside being a module builder for a particular game. Thus, this article is qualified for vanity. --Hurricane111 05:47, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Possible Hoax. No googles on this name. I put a verify tag on the talkm page yesterday. User:Budgiekiller did further checking (see talk:Thomaso Mitzek) and ran into more unverifiable material. This should either be verified or deleted. RJFJR 00:33, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
Delete as User:RJFJR alludes to, not one element of the entry is verifiable. Budgiekiller 07:53, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

NN, D. ComCat 00:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep based solely on the lack of justification given for its listing here. Use words, please. Bryan 06:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- "Non-notable" is a justification; "NN" is an common abbrev. Okay, nom text was ultra-terse, but that's not a reason to keep the article. --A D Monroe III 19:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I consider it to be a reason to vote against the nomination, though. If ComCat were to relist it with proper justification I wouldn't vote against it on that basis. Bryan 05:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- A defunct e-zine which was active only for three years. Not notable, delete. - Mike Rosoft 15:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep please this encyclopedia is not made from trees Yuckfoo 16:37, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, the article openly admits to being short lived and having a small following: non-notable, delete. -Splash 16:49, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete-Not notable enough for an encyclopedia. Also, as a sidebar, the author included this text at the bottom of the article which I feel is very anti-wiki- "This article has not been finished. Any additional information regarding R.a.G.e, including any origional articles are welcomed." Any comments? I have removed it for the time being. --Gpyoung talk 16:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I have tagged it unreferenced. Not citing sources is not a sufficient cause for deletion; I often vote to delete unreferenced things because I worry they are hoaxes, but here I find no cause to think it's a hoax. Sdedeo 22:20, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. No claims to notability. --A D Monroe III 19:22, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. An e-zine from 1992 is definitely notable. But this article definitely needs sources. Sdedeo 21:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)(see below)[reply]- Delete, the contention that something is notable because it was on the Internet 13 years ago is specious. Please provide some documentation that its very existence = notability. Zoe 22:04, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Hi Zoe. Thirteen years ago the internet was small, restricted mainly to official academic and government users and nothing like it is today. For the same reason that early artifacts of print culture are important, e-zines from the early era of the internet are too. I hope this helps. Sdedeo 22:12, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. So far I've only been able to find one reference from an old BBS called "NATTNAPPRAREN". By the time this zine was being published I had far removed myself from the HP scene, but Sdedeo makes a very convincing argument why this should be kept. History is important and bytes are cheap. —RaD Man (talk) 22:25, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Argh. I put the tag "unsourced" on the article, and someone very quickly and helpfully put a link to the first issue of the e-zine. I checked it out, and the release date for rage turns out to be 1995. Furthermore, I was unable to find any later issues, and google (including google USENET) was unable to find anything about "Ruthless Anarchists Getting Even". IMO, 1995 is getting a bit late to be inherently notable. However, my residual affection for the subject matter means I cannot bring myself to vote as I should. Sdedeo 22:31, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep wikipedia is not paper, we dont have drive space constraints and if we'll keep made up pokemon characters, write 600+ words on a character mention only in passing in a harry potter novel, I see no reason this cant be kept. early h/p/a/v scene mags and such tended to be quite underground and as such wouldnt necessarily be spread all over the internet. 1995 makes this a post BBS cusp zine, may not be all over the net due to lack of spreading? I'm interested enough to want to know more. ALKIVAR™ 23:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Whilst I respect your vote, the not-paper thing is costing us $200,000 dollars in fundraising at the moment... -Splash 23:57, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No that 200,000$ is mostly going to bandwidth charges... not storage space. We have MORE than enough storage space. hell the EN wiki only takes up like 12 gigs. ALKIVAR™ 01:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep interesting historical article. Crypticfirefly 04:47, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Hacker history is notable. A single-issue ezine is not. / Peter Isotalo 19:18, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- delete as per nom. Roodog2k (talk) 20:24, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- delete, but add the information to list of zines. --Jacqui M Schedler 05:46, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Article does not provide/establish significance of subject (ie: was it published / mentioned in any notable magazine OR what impact does it have on other ezine OR any ezine derived from R.a.G.e). Historical article is not sufficient unless it provides insight as to why it is interesting. --Hurricane111 05:54, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep - Even though I'm not one for video games anymore, yet this already has a large and possibly notable parent article. UniReb 00:59, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, especially considering that the nominator didn't bother to even use words when attempting to justify the nomination (what's "NN, D" supposed to mean?). Also, note that this article's been up for deletion before: Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/TCS Victory. There was no consensus at the time. Merging into a "spacecraft of" article is a possibility, perhaps, but there's rather a lot of material in Category:Wing Commander spacecraft so it'd make a pretty big article. Bryan 06:18, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep per Bryan, and note that "NN, D" is extremely newbie-hostile. Kappa 12:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep please it has already survived deletion before so why should we do this twice Yuckfoo 16:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- weak keep. Wing Commander was a series, which in my mind helps this eke out notability.Nandesuka 02:08, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I was the person who wrote this article as an anonymous user back in October. It was nominated for deletion then and kept (rather, there was a merge result, but merging this and everything else in Category:Wing Commander spacecraft would make a really long article.) The TCS Victory is the most important ship in Wing Commander III. Sjakkalle (Check!) 07:11, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- If the article were relisted for deletion with an actual justification provided instead of this obfuscated code-lettering, I'd have no objection to that listing.

Keep.

More information on Final Cut Films' website, [3], and IMDb. Richardbooth

But I don't think this should be deleted - it's still a worthy entry.
- This unsigned entry from creator User:82.195.99.23 continues to state he wants article to remain with no verification of the shifting claims in the article. Neither Andrew Peach nor book named in early version were found on Amazon. As for Google: "Your search - Asquantabism - did not match any documents." --WCFrancis 17:03, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No, it isn't. Unless you provide some evidence that some philosopher actually proposed this theory (as opposed to you just making it up), I am going to maintain that it is a hoax/patent nonsense (which Google is unable to find) and a possible BJAODN candidate.

- It's actually a copyvio from [8] but with the name "Francois Roulin" changed to "Joe Guillotin", which is weird because the page it rips off appears to be written by a J. Guillotin. At the bottom of that page it says "© 2003 Guillotine (All rights reserved)". Oh, and on the AfD template it says "do not blank this page", and guess what I just did? So sue me.

Delete As far as I can tell, this is a joke article (note the smiley in the comment of the first history entry). The only reference I have been able to find to them is as a unit type in the computer game Rome: Total War. Caerwine 04:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Yes, there really was such a thing. As memory serves, it was used by the Mongols once, at least, along with incendiary cats (sad to say). The Mongols started a siege of a city, and demanded all the pigs and cats from the city. The city folk complied in hopes of getting the Mongols to leave. Instead, the Mongols tarred and set fire to the pigs as described, and tied burning material to the cats' tails. The poor panicked animals ran for home, and the city was burned down. I'd put this all in the article, but I don't have a reference to cite. Let's keep the article and see if someone comes up with something. --A D Monroe III 19:47, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: I once worked on a computer system for the Saudi Arabian Ministry of the Interior (their state police). One of the programs involved keeping track of a list of things which the Saudis considered crimes. I noticed a listing for "arson using an animal". I asked one of the Saudis working with us what this meant, and he said that it's a common crime in Saudi Arabia to tie a donkey to a cart, load the cart up with hay, set fire to the hay, and whip the donkey into your neighbor's fields. (Another crime was "whitearm", but I never did get an explanation for what that meant.) Zoe 22:25, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

I myself wikified the page a bit, but doubt this is widely known as tutting, since I can't find any info anywhere. Karol 08:21, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
*Delete - As the The Bangles said in Walk Like an Egyptian "they do the sand dance don't you know". But seriously, I don't see any use of the word "tutting" in Google, that's related to dance. --rob 11:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- See "tutting" in this guide to dance. It's real terminology for this form of movement, but the people who employ it apparently haven't read our article on walking like an Egyptian, otherwise they'd know that this particular style of dancing dates from at least the 1930s, and is not a mere 15 years old as this article implies. We should assist such people in learning the somewhat longer history of this dance form with a Merge (although there is almost nothing here that isn't already in the better article). Uncle G 20:12:27, 2005-09-03 (UTC)
- Yes, thanks for this as I wouldn't have thought about walking like an Egyptian :) One thing makes the tutting page different - the connection to King Tut! Is this relevant at all? If not, then maybe a simple redirection will work? Karol 20:46, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- No it isn't, because that doesn't actually make "tutting" different at all. Follow King Tut to see what it redirects to, and then read walking like an Egyptian again. Uncle G 21:22:12, 2005-09-03 (UTC)

Tutting is a dance-style--a subset of popping, which is a west coast "funk style"--that began to be referred to as such in the 1980s. Here is a google reference: http://www.google.com/search?hs=fZd&hl=en&lr=&safe=off&client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=tutting+wiggles&btnG=Search Your research is clearly very lacking in this area, I recommend you stop messing with it.

Delete. Flat Earth absolutely has this covered. There is no debate and we shouldn't suggest there is. This was a good faith start-up but really it comes very close to nonsense. The arguments for a round Earth are laughably sparse here. No Eratosthenes, no Magellan, no mention of ships on the horizon, constellations changing or other intuitive tests. Marskell 09:55, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, the constellations are mentioned, Megellan didn't prove the earth is round (his path is possible on the flat earth model) and the tests are mentioned. If you want more detail, add it. Just for the record, I don't believe in a flat earth, but your arguments in no way justify purging the page, but rather at most merging. MrVoluntarist 19:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It is rather reassuring to know that you don't believe in a flat earth, but perhaps non-belief is the problem. Hypothetically, perhaps a case could be made for a flat-earth - it is certainly a great test case for logic and epistomology. But there is no 'debate'. Who is actually debating this? Where? With whom? --Doc (?) 17:13, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Thank you for recognizing the epistemological problems involved in ruling out a flat earth. Many people say "obviously it's false. Anyone can just build a rocket ship and see." (And again, no, I don't think flat-earthers are right.) To answer your questions in the order they were asked, 1) members of the Flat Earth Society and various fundamentalist Christians; 2) on various internet forums; 3) pretty much anyone else, especially creationists.

- Suppose it were true that an article on every single school in the world were ever likely to appear on Wikipedia. Suppose further that these articles would, in their number, "dwarf" all the other content of Wikipedia. Why would this be a problem? You don't have to look at articles you aren't interested in looking at. If I go to the article Embryogenesis, in what way is my reading experiences affected by the existence of 1000 or so articles about Pokemon? --Tony SidawayTalk 19:48, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This is true, and subtrivial-but-probably-accurate articles are almost harmless. Wikipedia is not intended to be mainly used via the "random article" link. And it doesn't have an easily visible list of contents. But let me ask: if I go to the article Embryogenesis, in what way is my reading experience affected by the existence of inaccuracies in articles on other topics? If there is, say, a group of people who wish to contribute inaccurate articles about a topic that is of interest mainly to other people who tolerate these inaccuracies, should anyone be concerned? If so, why? Dpbsmith (talk) 20:22, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I'd definitely like to see a coherent answer to this. Why does it matter that WP has lots of articles about schools or any other marginally interesting thing? Surely our primary concern ought to be that the articles are well written, so that if someone were to look up X chool, they are not faced with nonsense or ugliness? Why would it matter if there were 64 million articles in Wikipedia, and 60 million were about schools? You keep saying it matters, guys, but you never actually explain why. Do you feel it is a question of dignity? Do you think it somehow reflects badly on you?
- I don't understand your question, Dpbsmith, which is a pity because you are at least more thoughtful than most of the wannabe deletionists in this area. Your enjoyment of an article is not in the least affected by inaccuracies in other articles so long as it doesn't link to them except that if you read many very inaccurate articles, your faith in the accuracy of the article in question is damaged. This would seem to be an argument for accuracy (and by extension verifiability) and nothing much to do with whether articles should be included. If you are trying to argue that deletionists should be encouraged to spend more time ensuring that articles we have are accurate and less on trying to delete things they don't like, I wholeheartedly agree. If you are arguing that we should be encouraging people to contribute poor articles because others who tend to read them don't care about their mistakes (which you seem to be suggesting), then I don't agree. We should neither encourage nor discourage it, but should do our best to mitigate it by fixing up the bad stuff. Grace Note 02:38, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Suppose it were true that an article on every single school in the world were ever likely to appear on Wikipedia. Suppose further that these articles would, in their number, "dwarf" all the other content of Wikipedia. Why would this be a problem? You don't have to look at articles you aren't interested in looking at. If I go to the article Embryogenesis, in what way is my reading experiences affected by the existence of 1000 or so articles about Pokemon? --Tony SidawayTalk 19:48, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Tony seemed to be arguing that I shouldn't care about articles if they are not on topics of interest to me, because if they don't interest me I'll never see them and therefore they don't affect me. I'm saying, well, copyvios and inaccurate articles and POV and hoaxes do affect me even if they are on topics on which I would never consult WIkipedia. Therefore, I say, yes, I do have some interest in the quality of Wikipedia as a whole.
- Now, let's take this to the next step. Should really low-quality articles ever be deleted, simply because they are of low quality? This is tough, because we all recognize that Wikipedia articles are improved over time. But not at the same rate. There's no harm in a low-quality article about Beethoven, or Buddy Holly, or Wisconsin, because a lot of people know something about these topics and they will get improved quickly. On the other hand, very few people know much about Heathcote Elementary School. If the first person to write about it write a good-quality stub, good. If not, it may be months or years before anybody gets around to writing one—and it will likely be an independent event, i.e. the new article will probably not have "grown" from the old one.
- Let's suppose that, for some reason, there is a class of topic that is attracting the contribution of large numbers of low-quality articles. If they are being contributed faster than they are being improved, yes, that's a problem.
- There are no absolutes here. School articles are less of a problem than they used to be, because there are more serious, experienced editors working on them than there used to be.
- People can't believe the Wikipedia process actually works. Well, it does work—but not automatically and not without conditions. One of the conditions is that there really be "many eyes." The problem with "non-notable" topics is that they attract few eyes.
- At some point, articles are deletable if they are about something that is too non-notable. As you'd expect, not everyone draws the line at the same place. And, as you'd expect, at the borderline, there is great contention. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:30, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Okay, I think I can respond to that. I think the point is precisely this: that school articles are generally of such high quality, or can be made so, that deletion of a school article is actually quite a rare and surprising event. For nearly 276 school article deletion nominations, we've only had 37 school article deletions--less than 15% of those listed.
- So is the problem that most school stubs created are rubbish? Well no, I don't think that claim can be defended either. Here is a log I have just created linking to every school article created on Wikipedia in the past three or four days: Wikipedia:Watch/schoolwatch/New. There are some duds in there, but I'd happily take on most of them and pilot them through a AfD with a very high confidence of keeping the result.
- Okay, is the problem that most school stubs aren't being improved, and there are too few eyes? I think one has to adopt a very blinkered approach to article production to support this hypothesis. Firstly, I think it's highly likely that Wikipedia or some successor project is likely to maintain this knowledge base in some publicly editable form for many decades. Secondly, only articles that people want to edit ever get created. There is no evidence that some mechanical script, like the one that created all those articles about tiny blips on the US census map, is at work here.
- But finally I just don't buy the thesis. Schools are public institutions, so there is plenty of verifiable information about them. There is no reason to support the hypothesis that lack of eyes will be a problem. Any reasonably well educated, reasonably bright person can look at any school article and determine whether the statements in the article are adequately sourced and neutral. There is no problem with school articles that cannot be solved by the normal process of editing. --Tony SidawayTalk 03:55, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Three questions. 1) Is it possible that there could be a class of article that attracts a rate of creation of articles of low quality and has a very low rate of article review and improvement—so that, at any given time, the average article quality was very low? 2) Would such a hypothetical class of article be a problem for Wikipedia? 3) Are school articles an instance of such a class? Obviously your answer to #3 is "no." But what about 1 and 2? Dpbsmith (talk) 11:14, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't buy 1 and 2, really. I think it's an interesting hypothesis but I don't find a lot of articles that are likely to be a problem for Wikipedia. A low rate of improvement is absolutely of no concern here; there is no deadline. I've got some concrete examples, too. Of the sixteen school articles created since midnight, UTC, I'd say three or four need cleanup, but the others are already pretty good stubs. Not bad going for their first day. Older schools get more edits and I think they tend to fare better at AfD. --Tony SidawayTalk 12:15, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was KEEP but move to non-nude pornography. — JIP | Talk 10:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Even if article is improved, it would just be subset of pornography. It seems to have been created as an excuse to toss in an external link, since removed. rob 10:30, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Pret art seems to cover the same topic as well (I say that based on the current wording of the article, which seems to focus on under-age models). So, there's no purpose for a second article, and the capitalized article name, isn't even worth keeping as a re-direct. Plus, this is prime link spam bait if kept. --rob 10:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep but move to Non-nude pornography. The main pornography article is quite long (34kb), so adding in another section that would seem to have expansion potential is probably not the best thing to do. Pret art is not an epsecially common term, but would seem distinguished from this topic by being usually free. The current article needs the OR removing, sources citing and a bit of a clean, but I think it should stay. -Splash 18:06, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: Before choosing the name, it's necessary to decide the scope. The current article, if kept, should be called something like Non-nude internet pornography of minors and those who look like minors (or something more concise). The name Non-nude pornography is a perfectly legitimate name of an article, and could discuss many things given a similiar label like Baywatch, Maxim(US), and a host of other things *some* people (as their POV) label "pornography" on the grounds it has the same purpose, but is done with a few clothes on. --rob 02:24, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Never mind that people will want to read about it, the ever-more-unreasonable demands of a diminishing number now say that it mustn't have an encyclopedia article.

I'll leave it to legal-eagles and locals to determine whether this was just a media flap in a locality or a case of some significance. If kept, sourced and cleaned, it might be best off with a merge to abortion. -Splash 18:14, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep; a legal term of definite interest and at least some currency. More sources, as always, are better. Sdedeo 21:36, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Reluctant keep. It seems to be a legal term in the state of Texas. See http://www.tcdla.com/leg/docs/78th_review.pdf - note it's a .pdf file. Zoe 22:37, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep, the counterpart to wrongful birth. There have been numerous abortions due to equivocal triple test results that lead to the termination of a healthy foetus. JFW | T@lk 07:49, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Conditional Delete. If it is a legal term, then an entry/re-direct for such a term would indeed be appropiate and welcome. However, as this page is now, it is a highly POV entry, based on one, from what I understand, not very well-known source with an uncommon definition/interpretation of the term. I'll try to go over it later to see if there is something salvagable, but I think that I know too little on the subject and term to produce anything worth keeping. --kissekatt 02:46, September 5, 2005 (UTC)

Okay, this one is tricky. Balslev is the founder of CasaSwap.com, which I'm not sure is notable enough for a Wiki article. If his company is, he is; if it's not, he's not. I think it was Lucullan who said that that he'd rather have people ask "why isn't there a statue of him?" instead of "why is there a statue of him?" Alexa rankings for CasaSwap aren't terribly impressive, but Google hits for "casaswap" minus "site:casaswap.com" make me wonder if I'm missing something. Anyone?

if $NotableBandA breaks up, and $NotableBandB breaks up, and members from both groups join together to form $NewBand, but $NewBand falls apart before ever producing an album, is $NewBand notable? DS 14:42, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Per WP:MUSIC, $NewBand is notable if it "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such". In this case, I've never heard of $NotableBandA (The Watchmen) (thus calling into question whether it's extremely notable),
and $NotableBandB (Headstones) doesn't even have a Wikipedia article. Merge and redirect as appropriate. --Metropolitan90 15:39, September 3, 2005 (UTC)or $NotableBandB (The Headstones) either. Abstain due to new information from Pburka. --Metropolitan90 01:53, September 4, 2005 (UTC) - Sure they do. It's at The Headstones, and both previous bands are extremely notable in Canadian alt-rock. Redline seems to get a reasonable number of google hits, so I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt and vote weak keep, or merge and redirect. Not quite sure where to merge to, though. Pburka 15:53, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Entries document existing notable whatsits, they don't make them notable through advertisement.

- Comment AGS is probably the largest government simulation on the net and as far as government simulations go, it is probably the most important one out there right now. It has made significant contributions and advances as far as Sims go and it has influenced several other government sims. I'm not voting on this one way or the other. If people want to vote it off because it's non-notable, then I don't have much of a problem with that even if I think they are incorrect in their assessment. What irritates me, however, is that the attempt to delete was initiated by (apparently) an anonymous source, who hasn't contributed to Wikipedia at all other than for this article and the government simulation article. It leads me to believe that this is all nothing more than an attempt to carry out a grudge. I won't really shed any tears if this article is deleted, though. It seems it's more trouble than its worth with all the trolls coming in. But I will say I strongly disagree with Carnadillo. His standards are a bit absurd. It's not clear how ANY simulation could maintain 50,000 members. That doesn't mean that all net simulations are not notable. Government sims with over 200 members are considered very large by their relative standards and within the simming community, a Sim with 200-500 members would be very well known. I would say notable Sims of the past include NGS2, AOL Senate Sim, and Senate Sim. Jakob Huneycutt 12:30, 08 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- DELETE: Non notable site. This is just a glorified ad. Furthermore, AGS already is mentioned in "government simulation", which is appropriate. It deserves a mention as a kind of simulation, but does not warrant a full page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.237.181.35 (talk • contribs) 12:38, 18 August 2005
- Keep. While 500 members may not meet the vaunted "Carnildo Standard", the number is significant in that it is arguably the largest online government sim communities of all those mentioned. It is short-sighted and asinine to set arbitrary limits on size and popularity. Doing so is to say that polka great Frankie Yankovic is "non-notable" because he was never as big as Elvis.

Discussion
edit- Comment: I have no problem letting AGS have a wikipedia page. I DO have a problem with the nonsense and double standards going on with trying to have USG's page deleted. Especially when those voting for deletion are random people who have no right no pass judgment about a subject they know nothing about.
--John Joffey, Founder of USGovsim and current Co-Admin
- Comment: This is simply not a flame war. All we would like is for our article to be able to be on Wikipedia. We did not expect a full out frontal assault from AGS in an effort to remove the article. We only want Wikipedia to be fair. Either keep both or delete both. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.115.55.215 (talk • contribs) 00:09, 18 August 2005
- Comment: There is no evidence to support these specious claims of "frontal assault from AGS"; in fact, the evidence that does exist suggests the opposite. AGS administrators have said on their forums that they encourage members to join other sims, and have even posted a link to the simulation in their web links. The announcement is here. Wikipedia should not be a playground for petty revenge based on imaginary, non-existent "frontal assaults." — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.61.196.120 (talk • contribs) 00:21, 18 August 2005
- Comment: Once again AGS should be allowed to keep their page. All the Admins of USG agree on this. We are however, miffed, that there is a huge deletion attempt going on against our page, brought on by ignorant people with nothing better to do. I implore Wikipedia Mods to end both the deletion attempt here, and against the USG page.

Unless Ted Bundy stayed there or they invented a new kind of doughnut I can't see the reason for keeping this article.--Hooperbloob 06:36, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp is a major contributor to the arts community of the Great Lakes. Many, many orchaestra musicians trace their early training to this well-funded, well-regarded regional arts center. In essence, they have invented the fine arts camp for highly talented middle school and high school artists.
Wmjuntunen 19:49, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- OK, then perhaps listing those orchestra musicians in the same way that has been done for actors in Neighborhood Playhouse would be a good start. That would give it scope beyond the Great Lakes region.--Hooperbloob 20:04, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea, Hooperbloob ! I'll see what I can do. Wmjuntunen 03:21, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As a prior BLFAC camper, I have a personal bias towards keeping this Wiki entry (it's not like this listing is some violation of the Wikipedia terms or anything). Truthfully, while I would agree with Wmjuntunen that BLFAC has had a significant impact on current musical talents, that is not the only reason it should be kept. The BLFAC instrument museum, in and of itself, is one of the few of its kind anywhere in the world, with both historical and reproductions of early musical devices. Additionally, BLFAC holds several contests each year such as the Falcone Euphonium Competition, as well as their annual Jazz Fest, contributing to the world's appreciation of music. Lastly, BLFAC, while in a no-name town in Michigan, has an impact well beyond the Great Lake region. Campers from not only all over the United States but also the world attend one of their sessions on music, theatre, piano, dance and art each summer. In most artistic circles, BLFAC is second only to Interlochen, which not only is also in Michigan, but is the world's premier artistic venue for high school age students.--Jigordon 21:53, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep not sure why we have the {{vocab-stub}} if words aren't fair game, but this is as much a concept as it is the word signifying that concept. Nateji77 04:55, 20 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Words aren't fair game. Wikipedia is not a dictionary. It's an encyclopaedia. {{vocab-stub}} was created as part of the stub-sorting and sub-stub elimination project, as a temporary holding area for sub-stubs that were dictionary articles that should be eventually transwikied to the dictionary and otherwise dealt with. See the explanation at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Kybernetès by Grutness and Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Criteria/Archive9#.7B.7Bvocab-stub.7D.7D. Articles that give etymologies and meanings of words and idioms are dictionary articles, that belong in a dictionary. An encyclopaedia article is about a person/place/concept/event/thing. So an encyclopaedia article on brownie points would be about the concept of brownie points, not about the etymology of an idiom. Uncle G 06:39:56, 2005-08-20 (UTC)
- Comment: while what Uncle G says is completely true, "otherwise dealt with" can include expanding the article into something more encyclopedic than, um, dictionaric. Whether that can happen in this case, though, I wouldn't know. (No vote). Grutness...wha? 04:38, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was DELETE. The first four comments, including the nomination, are made by very new or anon editors, and I'm inclined to discount them. The final editor has enough contribs and things, but this is their only edit in Wikipedia: space and is also discounted. Among those who remain, there is no desire to retain the article outright, and certainly no consensus that it should be merged and no further support for keeping (with a weakly reasoned comment anyway). With the 'opposition' divided, I'm going to call a consensus to delete. -Splash 22:34, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Webpage with Alexa ranking of 862,598. Alexa description: Church of Scientology effort to expose religious intolerance, especially--but not exclusively--that directed against Scientology.

Sdedeo 18:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Ok but make sure you attribute any claims. I doubt you have any proof that it was founded "to harass critics."

- I am afraid I am going to have to vote Delete on this one. Despite AI's claims that he wants "contribution from all POVs and NPOVs" his actual editing shows that he wants it to be his own view and no one else's. Since when was it acceptable Wikipedia practice to revert three times, asking for attribution and then refusing to accept it once you get it, and then placing all the attributed material you don't want under a header stating "Claims by [[USERNAME]]" in the article? If AI is going to defend what he erroneously sees as his article with these unacceptable tactics, then we are better off having no article on this subject -- rather than one claimed by this editor as his private soapbox. -- Antaeus Feldspar 02:36, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- AI, I agree that VfD is not the place to resolve NPOV disputes, but I have looked at your edits, and it is pretty clear that you are behaving very poorly. Antaeus needs to supply sources (online or off) for the various statements in the article that you are trying to delete. But right now, it appears that you (AI) are behaving very disruptively. Sdedeo 03:42, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Sources were supplied for all of them except the claim that RFW is a Scientology group -- a source for which was given in this very AfD. After that, AI changed his story; instead of wanting contributions from POVs other than his own to be sourced, he wanted them to not "look like propaganda to me" -- i.e., he does not want all POVs to contribute after all, he only wants information favorable to RFW to go in. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:00, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. The only noteworthy thing about this Web site is that it is a Scientology propaganda page full of unsubstantiated, undocumented claims designed to smear critics of Scientology in a slanderous and arguably libelous manner. The site is not newsworthy (only mentioned at all in Scientology press releases), and the group has done nothing except harass critics of Scientology. This is not noteworthy enough to warrant a Wikipedia entry, as it is already amply covered in the Scientology controversy section (under "Dead Agenting"). It is in the same category as an article created by a company trying to advertise their own product: biased, irreversible POV, and nothing more than hot air. --Modemac 12:59, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Religious Freedom Watch is just one of a long series of bogus groups used as fronts for Scientology's Office of Special Affairs. (Earlier ones included the Scientology Parishioners League and the Foundation for Religious Tolerance.) According to Tory Christman, the now ex-Scientologist who worked with him on a previous front group, Joel Phillips is clueless and is NOT the real person behind RFW; he's just a cutout. RFW deserves at most a few sentences in an article on Scientology dead agent campaigns. This article should go. --Touretzky 14:23, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete The RFW site was created mainly for internal consumption by Scientologists. Its impact on the larger world is nil. A wikipedia entry should not have more substantial content than the subect of its article, which limits the practical size of this entry to to or three lines.

- ABSOLUTELY KEEP This website contains many official documents, and many of their articles are better documented than most Wikipedia articles. See yourself:
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/extremists/graham2.html Not accepting anything provided by Scientologists reminds of how the German Nazis did not accept anything provided by the Jews. What has religion to do with writing on Wikipedia? Apparently, these people who attack Scientology are not as good and innocent as they want to be viewed, and there is no reason why their true characters should be not portrayed on Wikipedia. Wikipedia accepts as information sources Usenet articles that could have been fabricated by anyone. Why not accepting a website that backs most of its claims up with official court and archive records? Note also that the anti-religious extremists never sued the RFW. If it would be true what Dave Touretzky claims, how come he did not sue them? He has money. There are even two attorneys portrayed as anti-religious extremists and the site is all over the Internet. I am sure they would represent their anti-religious extremist collegagues for free, if anyone of them would have a case. The problem is that Dave Touretzky and his friends are an anti-free speech advocates. They remove any critical data about themselves when they can. I had at least five websites with true and supporting information about Dave Touretzky on the Internet. I was informed that he goes after them and threaten to sue the ISP if they don't take the critic down, and the ISP don't want to be involved in legal actions, give in and remove the websites. Fine free world we live in. There is no free speech and that the RFW websites is bullied from Wikipedia is also a sign of no free speech. User Vivaldi rocks!
- As with User:SAINT, User:VIVALDI ROCKS! has appeared from out of nowhere to comment on this article, and on two other articles related to Scientology critics that have seen disputes between User:AI and other Wikipedians. See VIVALDI ROCKS! edit history. --Modemac 19:40, 6 September 2005 (UTC) (I'm also tempted to invoke Godwin's Law.)[reply]
- Godwin's foolish philosophy works to protect Holocaust revisionists and other Nazis who try to keep their work undercover. I say shine a bright light on them and trash this obsolete Godwin's law. It is slightly similar to the "law" about monkeys at typewriters who will eventually write an entire ENCYCLOPEDIA. --AI 20:57, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Regardless of who they are, their vote should be welcome unless you have proof they are sock puppets of someone else who has already voted. --AI 20:57, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- And on what basis would you propose that they be welcome to "vote" with their first or their third edit? Their "votes" are pretty much vapor since they cannot show any sign of commitment to Wikipedia or any sign of attained experience in the goals and practices of Wikipedia. Now, if they had any significant point of view to contribute to the conversation, it would certainly be taken into account. However, they don't seem to have much to say besides stuff that isn't relevant and stuff that we seem to have read before... -- Antaeus Feldspar 01:04, 9 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect text to Scientology versus The Internet. Websites per-se are not a reason to create an article. What concerns me more is that editors are voting "delete" because they don't like what that website stands for. VfD are not for censoring, or for politically motivated deletes, but to keep WP clean of unecessary articles. --ZappaZ 23:04, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Nothing to be said against the links to Judaism, Catholic Church, Christianity, etc. - but on the other hand that's not enough for an encyclopedia entry. BTW it's not necessarily so, that critics of Scientology want to suppress this site by every means - on the contrary. The critical site Operation Clambake (whose author also has a page on religious freedom watch) links to it on its frontpage as an excellent example for the way Scientology communicates.I am personally convinced this site does more harm to Scientology than to anyone else - but that's no reason either to put it into an encyclopedia.

- Strong Keep. I began and wrote the majority of this article and I wish to make my case. This is not an article against Jesus Christ or Christians. It is plain to see this due to the fact that it is written in a non-biased fashion (neither for nor against Christ and Christianity). This article was put up for deletion when it was only a few minutes old and when it had only two people and a small comment about the homeless. (The homeless comment is true if one were to ask the majority of city-dwellers, but I took it out of the article because it is not Wikiworthy) It is blatantly obvious that the article has been expanded and improved. It has even been added to by authors other than myself, thus verifying that others take an interest in this notable and odd personality trait. It is true that the article can be improved (and therefore one must "be bold" to update it) but the original reason for having this page put up for deletion is no longer applicable. It is my opinion that it should remain its own article. This is a very specific aspect of people who claim to be deities. Perhaps in List of self-proclaimed deities there could be a link to this page. It is a very thought provoking subject. One must ask, "Why choose Jesus out of all other people? Why do murderous people such as Charles Manson or Luc Jouret claim to be Christ (who said "blessed are the peacemakers")? What is it about Jesus Christ that causes so many people to think that they are his reincarnation? How does a murderous person ever come to associate themselves with Jesus?" (Such were the thoughts through which this article came to fruition.) I shall summarize what I have said: this is a thought-provoking article that can be added to (and has been added to already) and the original reason why it should be deleted is now obsolete.

The result of the debate was DELETE. -Splash 22:43, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
There are oodles of fundamental errors and misunderstadnings. The potential is wrong, inner electrons screen the potential. There are no terms for spin-orbit coupling, no fine/hyperfine structure of any kind. These are approx 10^40 greater in magnitude than any effect from gravitation. And the whole thing is presented non-relativistically, which is wrong for high-Z, and generally misleading. In its current form, I think the article is beyond repair. linas 16:25, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, of course. linas 16:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and improve. --Ghirlandajo 16:33, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Not notable. It may not be obvious to everyone from what Linas wrote above, but the other corrections being "10^40 greater in magnitude" means that this is undetectable in the sense that you could never find a particular penny in a billion billion billion copies of the U.S. National Debt. We don't have the technology, we won't have the technology for countless centuries, and it's not important anyway. There is no visible effect, and no deep knowledge to be gained from this idea--we don't need an article on this. -- SCZenz 16:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - agree with SCZenz; this is insignificant and the physics is incomplete. — Laura Scudder | Talk 16:52, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Abstain. My first impression was to delete since the effect is so small, but I am reluctant to take drastic action before somebody checks the reference, which suggests that it is published in the proceedings of a conference which seems to be serious. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 17:49, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- FWIW, I've seen, and read, similar conference proceedings which are of equal stature, containing "proofs" that special relativity is wrong, etc. so I don't consider publication alone to be a reasonable standard. And even if the conference presentation was by Ed Witten, this article fails to convey what's meaningful & interesting. (Its even mis-titled; as there is no discussion of gravitational radiation.) linas 18:29, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. As Pjacobi points out on Talk:Gravitational radiation of atom, the last sentence is wrong and the rest is irrelevant. Gravitational radiation is a relativistic phenomenon, so you cannot discuss it without discussing relativity (please tell me if I'm wrong; I'm not a physicist). The author's website it at http://www.webfinder.ru/vm/ (in Russian) and the same text as Gravitational radiation of atom can be found at http://www.webfinder.ru/vm/abstract1.html . His resume is, uhm, unconventional for people visiting GR conferences. I'm now even more curious on the reference. -- Jitse Niesen (talk) 19:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep if possible to improve and contextualise. Reference is valid - see [15] but that alone doesn't make it notable. Dlyons493 19:06, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete, one mentioning in a conference proceedings isn't enough to establish relevance. No V V Mikheev to be found on the preprint servers. And of course the effect is incredibly small, even smaller than calculated in the article, as that calculation is all wrong. --Pjacobi 19:18, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. Karol 07:18, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
Keep or merge with gravitational radiation. The page needs massive reformatting and wikification. It's also inexact (plain wrong is maybe too harsh?) in a few places and the calculations are questionable, and relativistic effects are neglected. All this, however, still doesn't mean that the article should be deleted, I believe, since it describes an actual physical effect, albeit unimaginably small (we have articles on many physical phenomenon that we can't really measure or which are only hypothetical). Lack of references also is not a reason for deletion is it? Therefore we should let it stay, put up the appropriate warnings, and wait for improvement. An alternative would be to merge with gravitational radiation. Maybe I'm missing something or wrong, though? Karol 20:56, September 3, 2005 (UTC)- Strongly disagree with merge. The article doesn't describe radiation, it describes corrections to hydrogen energy levels. Also, look at the comment from the anon who created the article--it implies that he is the person cited. Doesn't that make it original research...? -- SCZenz 21:28, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Also, this being an "actual physical effect" doesn't make it notable. Nor does appearing once in a conference somewhere. Does every paper published by every physicist (even the ones with tenure and funding at universities) get a wikipedia article? Nope, and it shouldn't. Can you explain what might possibly make this notable? -- SCZenz 21:32, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Where can I see this comment? Yes, the article does not describe radiation per se, but it should, at leasts that is what the name of the page suggests. Karol 21:58, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

It was for a period stretching from mid-1997 until perhaps early 2000 the classic phone on the European market (not sure if the US market was at that time so well developed), and it's still available now.

Do we really need a stub/article on every single Nokia phone? Nokia has a phone archive with the specifications of every phone they ever made. Perhaps these articles contain a few worthless factoids about these phones, cant there be a Nokia phone's factoid page or something?

This stub has devolved into an online stalk by user Lokifer. The writer in question is NOT famous, but the amount of research carried out in an attempt to smear him is phenomenal. There's a LOT of POV problems, as well as a lot of talk such as "claims to have graduated from the University of Arizona" -- submit for deletion. Carnifax 19:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- interruption - just because "more famous writers aren't represented in Wikipedia" is no reason to delete this writer. Rather, it's a reason to add entries for those other writers. DS 17:11, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- (vote continues) and this guy's resume-padding, however offensive, isn't particularly notable. Moreover, Lokifer continues to pepper the stub with unattributed claims like 'he lied about being nominated for an Emmy' when the guy has explained how and when his work was nominated. Moreover, the claims of having participated in 'covert activities' aren't backed up by Lokifer's source material... the closest one gets is the Reporter using the words covert activities and not in a direct quote from the subject. The new inclusion of the usage of Photoshop to rework the posters isn't substantiated and runs counter to the guy's own statements about how he accomplishes his 'art' or whatever. Lokifer constantly expands the guy's crimes -- one university is mentioned in his links, but he expands that to 'universities.' He does the same thing where he finds a single quote where the guy lashed out against someone using his false military service as a soapbox, but then expands that to 'people' without substantiation. The page he links to clearly shows that the guy apologized to this Parrot person for doing so as well. Lokifer further expands the smear campagin by blasting an artist's conference as an 'anti-war-forum' when looking at the site, it was clearly a symposium of anti-war artists lecturing about technique and format to students who were there in for an artistic conference, not an anti-war rally. Lokifer complains that the guy posted a false bio on his webpage and then complains that it's since been deleted... would he be happier if the lies were still there? Lastly, to point out more semi-truths, it appears that this comicbook Stormwatch Team Achilles was cancelled well before this guy's revelations... all DC did was not publish the final issue... AND the guy clearly has published his second book of posters. It's pretty clear that Lokifer has spent a great deal of time stalking down this guy's lies and foibles online, but it's not clear that this guy's two-year-run of resume-padding is worth an entry in Wikipedia, especially not if it's going to be filled with so much politically-motivated personal bias and half-truths.

- Micah (oops, I mean Carnifax), correct any errors that you see, but don't delete them. The problem with tracking down most of the information about Micah Wright is that hard facts cannot be found, usually because Micah Wright deleted most of his posts in his forum and enough place online that he was quoted at now no longer existed. There's also the damning interview at KPFK on "Democracy Now" with Amy Goodman that was available for download on his website that's no longer available. What's so damning about the interview? He embellished so much about his fake military career (most of which I have included). Elsewhere (but included in the article with links) Micah has said, "(He has seen) a lot of nastiness in South and Central America during G.H.W. Bush's regime," and he has said, "After four years spent invading other countries as an Airborne Ranger in the U.S. Army." Besides Panama, what other "invasions" of Central and South American countries was the USA publically engaged in between 1987 and 1991? There are none, so they must be secret covert operations. I've been able to find two universities that Micah spoke at: USC and New School University. At both he spoke out against the war and he was an attractive speaker for the issue since he was claiming to be an ex-ranger. Now if you want to include nice things that he has done, please add them. I'd like to see what charities he has established or other equally good deeds from this man. However, since he built his whole persona on being an anti-war ex-Army Ranger, I see nothing wrong pointing out just how engrained and far reaching the lies went by using HIS OWN WORDS.Lokifer 21:34, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Maybe you didn't see my comments above, criticizing his lies. My only point is that he's hardly famous and not worth an expansive entry in Wikipedia, much less an obviously politically inspired smear job full of POV and unsupported indictments. Your interpretations aside, Micah Wright never mentions 'covert activity' in any of the articles you cite. Referencing an interview which you can only vaguely 'remember' as 'damning' isn't quite the same a citing FACTS about what he said. You're also conflating quotes from two different interviews to concoct a charge against him: that he claims he "saw ugliness throughout Central and South America" during GHW Bush's administrations isn't the same as participating in covert activities... we all saw America Imperialism at work all throughout the Reagan/Bush years. Add that to the fact that the US Army (including Rangers, which he was pretending to have been) invaded Somalia in the same period of time, and I think you're stretching it to state that "invading countries" means that he categorically claimed to have been involved in 'covert activities.' It's a loaded POV accusation which you've jerry-rigged together by Frankensteining disparate quotes. Moreover, you make the same sins of exaggeration you're accusing him of when you say he told 'people' to shut up, rather than one person. Then again, maybe this is just the kind of grammar and logic problems which afflict all of your postings about this guy: 'gave a fuzzy photographs" being a prime example. Again, it's a borderline vanity page, and the current revision is so full of POV that it's next to useless. If he's forever banned from comic books and his career as an author is finished, then what's the point of pretending he's famous? As for what charities he's established or what good works he's accomplished, I have no idea... I haven't extensively stalked him online, unlike some... all I've done is read your version of his life and looked at the 'proof' you think you've compiled.Carnifax 23:51, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I just have a few things to say because this is a discussion of whether or not the article should be deleted. One, Micah never mentioned Somilia or Iraq, but specified that he was in Central and South America when he was "invading countries". Two, you claim that I have too much of a POV, but your use of the term "American Imperalism" is hardly non-POV and I think it clouds your judgement on my entries in the article. Three, the line about the "fuzzy photograph" is not something I made up on a whim; it is a quote from Dan Simon, publisher of Wright's book, that can be found in an article by Publishers Weekly, a credible source methinks, with a link provided to that article. Four, if you think too much is being made of his story about being a ranger, please give a more rounded biography on him. Five, if Kathy Change and Martin Hewitt meets the criteria of having a article on Wikipedia, surely a nationally published author and artist with credits attached to comic books, cartoons and videogames who falsely claimed to be an army ranger while speaking out against a war meets the criteria. Sure, he's no Jack Kirby or Wally Wood or Jack Vance or Dalton Trumbo or Alan Moore or Sam Rolfe (which reminds me, I need to start an article on him), but ask the average person who any of those guys are and you get blank stares too. Does this negate the fact that any of these people should have articles because they are not well known (aka famous or infamous) enough? Lokifer 01:53, 5 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- It is not often that I put things up for deletion, but, looking through the recent changes, this article caught my eye. Does this referee deserve an article? I have checked the internet, and, despite being in refereeing for such a long time, he has only ever officiated over very few top-flight games; the BBC lists 16 Premiership games, but perhaps that was only from one season. Nonetheless, I can find nothing remarkable about his life, or any controversial or important decision that he has made; so, I do not really see why this guy deserves an article above any other run-of-the-mill FA referee. If there are compelling reasons, I would love to know (although I am not much of a football fan;) but I cannot see what is notable about him, other than his being a select referee.

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Toll House Inn. There is next to none consensus here, but one thing everyone agrees on is that the current contents shouldn't be kept.

Delete as I am unwilling to redirect this anywhere, and it's current content and likely any future content is rather mystical stuff between OR and POV. Obviously no redirect to science, and it doesn't claim to be protoscience or pseudoscience either, so no redirect to those nor to any of the hoaxes. I'm not sure the term has been "traditionally" used for anything. -Splash 22:15, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Expand As the first contributor of this article I find it odd that within minutes of beginning to sketch out it scope someone "helps" the process by suggesting the page be deleted. There is a certain body of writing on the construction of the term "controversial science," and the term itself is used a great deal by people with and without an overt POV. But that does in no way make the term itself controversial. I suggest to allow the article to develop and after a time come to a determination of whether or not it needs a redirect, and if so, to what other article. People familiar with this topic are likely to deem it anything BUT "mystical." Haiduc 22:46, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Expand Tend to agree with Splash re traditional use, but there's an article there I feel. Reich is one of many possible examples. Kuhnian revolutions might balso be relevant. Dlyons493 23:39, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge any useful content into pseudoscience (all of the examples discussed in the article are actually pseudoscience), then redirect. There is no particular reason to have an entry to describe the concept of science that is merely controversial, anymore than we should have an entry to describe that concept of a, e.g., "controversial legal decision" or "controversial book". (The article does talk a little bit at the end about how science is labelled "controversial" when it is not, for political reasons, but this is just a rhetorical device.) Sdedeo 23:41, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This is not an article about "examples of controversial science," which may or may not belong under pseudoscience, but about the term "Controversial science" itself, and its evolution and dynamics.Haiduc 00:06, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As it stands, the article doesn't really persuade me that the term exists in the sense that it is discussed in, say, academic circles. Rather, it's just a somewhat blanket phrase dealing with any kind of science that someone disagreed with — and that's just about the entire field! -Splash 00:12, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This is an exploratory article in a still-embryonic stage. I think that an argument can be made that this term has a life of its own, aside from what it describes, and that it is per se a worthy object of analysis. I may be proven wrong in the end but I do not think that a preemptory challenge to its exitence is either timely or useful at this moment. As it stands the argument may not persuade me either, but as material accumulates, and as others hopefuly contribute, a viable discourse may take shape. What's your rush? You tagged it literally minutes after I began to write.Haiduc 00:54, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete (?) - While this entry was likely commercially motivated and probably could be deleted, the question of when a company (of whatever type) qualifies for an article is interesting. Netflix as a large public company and the originator of a business model is a given. I created a entry for Zip.ca as the largest equivalent in the Canadian market. There are a range of smaller companies down to the Bushidos of the world - are there any general Wikipedia recommendations for cases like this? Perhaps a small company like Technical Video Rental is more deserving of an entry because of its specialty inventory than a "regular" movie rental company of the same size? I've just recently separated out the actual list of companies from Online DVD rental into a list article of their own (List of online DVD rental companies) - perhaps Bushido's mention there could be considered sufficient?

We have a close situation here (4 delete, 1 merge, 1 redirect), the entire content of the article is ""Chi-Chi" is a character from Scarface played by Angel Salazar. He is the short guy in the gang." Now, the Scarface itself is a disambiguation page, and so merging and redirecting would need to be to one of the actual movie articles, Scarface (1932 film) or Scarface (1983 film). Unfortunately, the article here does not say which one the character appears in. There is very little content here, and it is not easy to merge this with either of those articles anyway. With no good bearing of where or how to merge this, I will call this a delete. Sjakkalle (Check!) 08:44, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was DELETE. Would relist, only it's verging on patent nonsense and if it isn't that it's plainly a joke. -Splash 23:33, 11 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Rausonid (Dinosuar spelled backwards) seems to have been wholly invented for this article, I suspect by a friend of Lisa Huff. At best it's new fiction. 68.20.140.7 1 July 2005 12:48 (UTC)

- This nomination was malformatted and never added to a main VfD page. Fixing now. Keep or merge somewhere, episodes of TV shows are suitable. JYolkowski // talk 22:48, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep--there's precedent for individual TV show episodes. Meelar (talk) 23:35, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep but only because it makes no sense to delete one episode without deleting all episodes and completely rewriting the main article. Personally, it makes no sense to me to include this detail about a single episode of a cartoon in an encyclopedia, even one that is not paper. -- DS1953 01:04, September 4, 2005 (UTC)

(Completing nom) nn pornsite (it has an alexa rating of 4,100 - but since 90% of those above it will be porn that does not say much - I din't even bother using Google) --Doc (?) 23:51, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Now if it had been an article on silencing domestic fowl, maybe... but as it is delete, non-notable porn site. Sliggy 00:17, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete. nn. -- DS1953 00:56, September 4, 2005 (UTC)
- Keep. I don't understand Doc's argument. A high Alexa rating for an entertainment website is a good thing, and 4100 is very high indeed. --Tony SidawayTalk 01:57, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- My argument is this. If a double glazing company got this Alexa rating, they'd be notable - because few double glazing companies would get a higher rating - thus it would probably be one of the most notable businesses in its field . But the nature of the internet is that at least 2,000 of the 4,000 sites rated above this porn site will be other porn sites - thus this is not a high rating for a pornsite - thus nn. If every business with as little impact, turnover and staff as this one is likely to have were mentioned, then my local butcher (or glazier, to keep the analogy) would be worth an article. --Doc (?) 02:07, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Oh I think I understand your argument, now. However I cannot find any support for it. Looking at Alexa's top 500 list, for instance, you'd think that if your assumption were correct about half of those on the list would be porn sites. Well actually that turns out to be completely untrue. There are some porn sites there, but they're pretty sparse. I think the main reason people will want to delete this is that it's a porn site. Well I disagree with that reason, too. --Tony SidawayTalk 02:41, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- I'm not sure what you are implying about Tony here, but I think it is uncalled for --Doc (?) 21:30, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- For the record, no I didn't post that on Wikipedia. I think the article belongs on Wikipedia because it's encyclopedic and neutral and it's about a fairly popular pornographic website. I would not be ashamed about having posted neutral and verifiable information about any subject, whether pornographic or not, but I didn't post that content. Glad you asked. --Tony SidawayTalk 22:35, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
