Scan-Optics Inc

edit

Advertisement, not notable. I've lived in Manchester, Connecticut almost my entire life and I've never even heard of the place. – Beginning 00:26, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete this "solution provider". dbenbenn | talk 00:32, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Week delete. 8,500 Google hits show some presence in the world, but that's not a lot for a tech company. If kept, it should be cleaned up to stop it sounding like advertising. — Asbestos | Talk 02:12, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 05:08, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Cheryl Crane

edit

Non notable individual. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 00:38, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. She doesn't appear to have done anything but have Lana Turner as her mother. Removed vote, but don't know if she is notable enough to change it to a keep. — Asbestos | Talk 11:00, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • ...apart from the small matter of stabbing to death her mother's mobster boyfriend with a kitchen knife when aged 14, in a celebrated case that was judged to be an instance of justifiable homicide [1]. Keep and expand. --Centauri 05:55, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • ...which the article makes no attempt whatsoever to explain. "Lana Turner's daughter" is not an article, neither is it evidence of her notability. Expand it and I might reconsider my nomination. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 15:35, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Bad content is not an excuse for deletion, it is an oportunity for expansion. --Centauri 11:37, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, the case may be notable, but the person isn't. --fvw* 06:22, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Keep per Centauri. Would we delete Cheryl Crane and keep, uh... Cheryl Crane case? Samaritan 06:31, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. JuntungWu 09:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This time, Centauri's right, though there's no hint of notability in the article itself. JADP: Johnny Stompanato, the victim, shows up as a character in L.A. Confidential. --Calton 23:55, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep -- Jmabel | Talk 01:31, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as per Samaritan's reasoning. This is really an article about the case, for which it would be problematic to find a better title. -- Curps 02:00, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, while the case and her mother is notable she isn't that notable herself. Megan1967 05:10, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable mother plus involvement in heavy court case makes her notable. Capitalistroadster 07:24, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Might be notable as a case, but not in this format. Expansion definitely needed - Skysmith 09:39, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's even got the reference there in the article as to why it's a keeper - David Gerard 16:17, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Planet Rumpaa

edit

This is nonsense. We don't know of any extrasolar planets anywhere near 25,000 ly away, as far as I can tell (not to mention the other flaws). LizardWizard 01:53, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedily delete as patent nonsense. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 03:04, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete Nonsense. JimmyShelter 15:02, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy as patent nonsense. — Asbestos | Talk 21:43, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Doemain

edit

Minor web comic, not notable --nixie 02:10, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep it can be improved, but should stay. --Irishpunktom\talk 15:56, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. 8,500 hits for "Doemain of our own", don't know how many for just "Doemain" (it's a common enough name), is pretty good for an online comic. Clearly some notability. — Asbestos | Talk 21:46, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Evolutionary processes

edit

The name is deceptive, appears to be a summary of some original research to do with computing--nixie 02:15, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete. It feels like advertising for gilb.com's particular flavor of the iterative development software design methodology. --Carnildo 02:50, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete --fvw* 06:23, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Delete this. Probably should replace with redirect to evolution or evolution (disambiguation).--ZayZayEM 13:58, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Given that his email address is from Gilb, this is obviously vanity, advertising, and original research. 4 hit for "Evolutionary System Development Processes" means it's entirely non-notable as well. — Asbestos | Talk 21:48, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Evolution. Megan1967 02:50, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Hard to decide between spam, advertising or original research. Regardless, delete. After the history is clean, a redirect might be appropriate to keep it from coming back. Rossami (talk) 04:18, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Evolution - David Gerard 16:17, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Jansegers

edit

Weird page of external links to people with the family name Jasengers, might be genealogy? --nixie 02:21, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, probably genealogy yeah. --fvw* 06:24, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

Feeding babies in emergencies

edit
  • Copyvio of [2][3]. Not appropriate for Wikipedia in any case (maybe Wikibooks). Neutralitytalk 02:53, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted as a duplication of content (I already marked Feeding Babies In Emegencies as a copyvio on the 22nd). --fvw* 02:57, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

Delete. Not encyclopedic. Ganymead 00:04, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually, I suspect that it's spam, not copyvio. I recall seeing some attempts at shoving this in various tsunami-related places. -- Cyrius|✎ 19:48, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous. I count 7 delete and 5 transwiki. No votes suggested that this article should remain in the Wikipedia space. I am going to exercise my discretion and add it to the transwiki queue. Rossami (talk) 02:19, 11 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Religious Technology Center vs. Netcom

edit

Was about to transwiki to Wikisource then wondered whether or not this sort of thing would be welcome there. It's certainly unencyclopedic. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 03:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, no transwiki. Appears to be non-notable court case. Neutralitytalk 03:02, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. User is obviously promoting an agenda. – flamuraiTM 03:16, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nonencyclopedic. — Knowledge Seeker দ (talk) 04:40, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I'd agree. Transwiki isn't a good idea if it's not notable. If every run of the mill case went into WikiSource, it'd get bigger than Wiki can handle. --Woohookitty 06:53, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. The case was so notable I've heard about it. It was over Usenet publication of the controversially secret "Advanced Technology" of Scientology; Religious Technology Center is the corporate power-behind-the-throne that owns Scientology doctrine by its ownership of the works of L. Ron Hubbard. Besides transwiking, add a mention at Scientology and the legal system. Samaritan 12:12, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Trans. --JuntungWu 14:35, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. But this case is fairly notable, and there should be an article about it, or at least discussion under Scientology, if there isn't already. --BM 20:49, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, not notable enough, POV un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 02:54, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. GRider\talk 19:28, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Change of vote to transwiki, agree with David Gerard. GRider\talk 18:18, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki. This is an important and historical case - one of the first serious legal tests of an ISP's liability for material transmitted over their network (in 1995, before the DMCA was passed). But just putting up the decision isn't an article. (I speak here as a subject matter expert.) - David Gerard 16:15, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I already commented about this on that article's talk page. This text really doesn't comply with Wikipedia's standards, and frankly, I can't see any use for it here. Maybe it could be tranferred to some other sister project, but I don't know about those. The way it is, I don't think it should be kept here. In that case, it would need some hard work done on it.--Kaonashi 04:16, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki or delete: there's nothing here but what a copy of a court document. However, contra above comments, this was a notable case. It involved the Church of Scientology trying to sue someone for posting their secret religious texts online, as a violation of "trade secrets" and as a copyright infringement. This was pre-DMCA, so the court had to work out its own concept of how much Netcom, the poster's ISP, should be liable for the conduct of one of its users—the case is notable for anyone wanting to study the Church, IP law, or the development of internet law in the 1990s. It should have its own article eventually. This obviously just isn't it. Postdlf 22:36, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

He seems notable, but only within the RuneScape community. That's not enough for Wikipedia. Note:This appears to have been speedied before, in November. Delete.-gadfium 03:45, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Greg D. DiGregorio

edit

This guy was up for VfD a while ago, but was never deleted. For previous VfD discussion see here: [4] -R. fiend 05:43, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • How odd, I didn't even know you could have an empty IMDB profile. Anyway, I think User:ContiE just forgot to do the actual deleting, seeing as 80% delete votes is clearly a delete, and the comment on archiving was prepdel, which I assume means "preparing for deletion". I've deleted the article and if noone objects we can get rid of this VfD. Good catch fiend! --fvw* 06:28, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

Elona Bojaxhi

edit

This model and "actress" (IMDb gives her 1 uncredited role) gets 209 google hits (very few for a model), and the first page is mostly wikipedia mirrors. Promotion. I'd call it vanity, but I don't think she wrote the article, though the result is much the same. -R. fiend 06:00, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, not notable. --fvw* 06:32, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Abstain. I trust lack-of-information on IMBd as much as google hits for Vfd on not-notable status. Has anyone investigated her fame in Albania?--ZayZayEM 14:06, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • KEEP... Definitely notable. She's even listed at Filmbug! Plank 00:38, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Intactivist

edit

This duplicates genital integrity. We don't have pages for "communist" or "libertarian" (or they're redirects), instead we talk about the subject, not the people. —Ashley Y 06:08, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)

  • Merge/redirect. You can use a {{merge}} tag for this kind of thing, or just merge/redirect it yourself.

Keep intactivist and move it to intactivism, and keep genital integrity where it is, per Samaritan below. Kappa 06:24, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I listed it here, but the results were inconclusive (only one non-anonymous person opposed merging to two people in favour). —Ashley Y 06:31, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
Then be bold and merge/redirect. Samaritan 12:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • redirect to genital integrity. --fvw* 06:33, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • REdirect +merge--ZayZayEM 14:08, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - as AshleyY correctly states, this has been debated both on the article talk page and on a policy page, with no consensus emerging to delete or redirect. On the article page, the discussion was split 1 to 1. On the policy page, there were two votes to merge compared to two (one of which was anonymous) to keep. Raising the issue a third time smacks of "forum shopping" until the desired vote is reached. The article should be kept seperate for two reasons: (1) Intactivist has an interesting etymology that would be diluting the main topic of the article at Genital integrity. (2) The communist/communism argument for merging is weakened by the fact that the Genital integrity article tends to use the term "Genital integrity advocate" as opposed to "intactivist". It is possible not everyone who self identifies as a "Genital integrity advocate" would necessarily self-identify as an "intactivist" and vice versa. Keeping the two articles seperate does a better service. Johntex 17:22, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep (change of vote). Samaritan 21:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
In that case, why not use "intactivism"? —Ashley Y 03:33, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)
You're right; that would be much better, and in keeping with Wikiusage elsewhere. Samaritan 06:12, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Samaritan, can you please clarify this comment? Are you suggesting Genital integrity should be renamed intactivism to be consistent with Ashley Y's examples of communism and libertarianism? Johntex 07:22, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
No, I'm voting to keep intactivist and move it to intactivism, and keep genital integrity where it is. Sorry for any confusion. Samaritan 14:23, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Thank you, Samaritan, for the clarification. Johntex 17:24, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, article needs expansion. Megan1967 02:59, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/Redirect rather than delete. —Ashley Y 03:32, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)
  • Keep U$er 06:30, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Expand the article. Force10 06:52, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with genital integrity & redirect. Jayjg (talk) 22:33, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There isn't much to say about this beyond the fact that this is another name for a supporter of the Genital integrity movement. "Genital integrity" seems to be the more widely used term, and "intactivist" seems to be a dicdef at best, or a neologism at worst. There doesn't seem to be much to be said about it beyond a definition and a link to Genital integrity. Any expansion of the article is going to duplicate the information in Genital integrity. If the article is not deleted, which is my vote, at least it should be redirected to Genital integrity. --BM 02:43, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge/redirect to genital integrity. — Gwalla | Talk 01:04, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Coinspinner

edit

This is one of 12 swords with their own articles from Books of the Swords. I am concerned that including the poems about each sword might violate copyright, in addition I don't think that the 12 swords from the series of books each requires its own article and think a merge back to the main article and deletion of the 12 individual articles may be required--nixie 06:07, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • As long as all the information is kept (which would probably mean keeping a good chunk of the text intact), there's no reason not to merge and redirect. But I wouldn't weep to see this kept as a separate article. Meelar (talk) 06:22, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, no need for 12 separate articles. --fvw* 06:33, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Merge, no redirect. The content is valuable enough that it should be merged, I suppose. The names of the swords are common enough (e.g. Stonecutter) that redirects don't seem wise. LizardWizard 08:24, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, fancruft. —Korath (Talk) 09:24, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC) The merge with the other eleven is acceptable. —Korath (Talk) 08:28, Feb 2, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, Long time reader, first time author! My initial thought was to keep all the sword stuff on one page, but then as I was writing it started to get unweildy, so I split it up when I created it. I also found it made it easier to reference from one sword page to the next. However, I would be happy to merge all 12 articles into one and turn the seperate pages into redirects. I'd hate to merge it all into the main Books of the Swords because I plan on further editing, adding to, and revising that, but bow to the authority of the other wikipedians. Also, RE: copyright violation, I think that quoting the verse for each sword meets the criteria for fair use, in that its for educational purposes, the amount of material is small comparied to the 10+ books of source material, and are a small part of the total article contents. But again, I defer the more experienced wikipedians.Akerkhof 15:29, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all, no redirect: of no significance or interest to anyone but a fan of the book series. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:52, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - this fancruft. I agree it is unlikely to interest any but a fan of the book series, but the same could be said for lots of topics covered here. There are apparently 10 books in the series, which is a substantial number of books, I assume they must have found some audience. "coinspinner"+"sword" gets 550 hits on Google, which is not too shabby. I'm not saying this series has achieved any where near the cultural impact of Star Wars or Star Trek, or The Simpsons, but these and other lesser franchises have spawned numerous articles here. For example see "Category:Star_Wars_characters". Johntex 18:47, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Absolutely "fancruft", but well written, topical, and directly related indeed to a very lengthy series by Saberhagen.Strong Keep. Being one who has read this whole fantasy epic a few times, I will also give the contributor a thumb's up. Now, where did he leave the other swords...? I hope the main article links to these other pages you have established? Weaponofmassinstruction 05:35, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Twelve articles on swords from a series of novels seems excessive. I suppose my protest won't go far when there are so many articles already in the Wikipedia about items from fictional universes, but I don't think those articles should be there, either. --BM 12:16, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge this somewhere appropriate. GRider\talk 19:29, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I hope I'm doing this right and not messing up ettiquete, but since these are my articles and the main criticism is that they take up 12 seperate articles, I've gone ahead and merged them all into one at Twelve Swords of Power. I even think they all read that way better. Is it possible then to place redirects from the individual articles to each subheading? Do I wait until this VfD is complete?
  • You can create links directly to the section using the format [[Twelve Swords of Power#Coinspinner|Coinspinner]]. Unfortunately, page redirects can not yet reach down to a specific section. You can replace the content with #redirect [[Twelve Swords of Power#Coinspinner]] but it will still take the reader to the top of the Twelve Swords of Power page. Rossami (talk) 04:30, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't think the redirect thing is a "not yet" thing as much as a "not" thing. Redirects get done server side, whereas going to sections is done client side. I suppose it could be hacked up to work with javascript, but it isn't possible to make redirects to sections work across the board. --fvw* 04:41, 2005 Feb 2 (UTC)
    • Bummer. Well, I think the way its working right now isn't too bad. If someone punches in an individual Sword in the search, they will not be too astonished by what they find. I hope I've adequately addressed the concerns in this VfD. Akerkhof 04:43, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

      • Yeah, quite. Nice job! --fvw* 04:48, 2005 Feb 2 (UTC)
      • I think one article covering all twelve swords is a much better solution than twelve articles. Thanks for your work! Sorry to be a pain, but even better would be for the Twelve Swords of Power just to be merged into the Books of the Swords article, which is still a very short article, and anyway has a short section on the Twelve Swords of Power already, which could be expanded instead of linking to a separate article on the swords Why did you think the swords needed to be in a separate article? --BM 16:38, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        • Mainly because I intend to flesh out the universe and major characters on the main page, and an enormous Sword article in the middle of it might get to be a bit of the mess. There are about five, maybe six characters that need a paragraph or two, and four or five unique concepts to the Swords universe that require the same treatment. There's also a quibble I have with placement and useage of multiple spoiler tags that can be avoided entirely, I think, by keeping the two articles seperate. However, if it works out that the completed Books of the Swords article is still a bit light, and the swords article can fit neatly inside it without being distracting and confusing, I'll merge it. Deal? Akerkhof 22:18, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        • If you had already done all this, there probably wouldn't be much argument now. You could just point to the fact that the main article was already over 32KB, and you needed to split out something, and decided to make it the sword detail. Some people might still say this topic doesn't merit so much detail and more than one article, but you'd have more of a point. Why not work on the main article some, including the sword material, until it gets near 32KB, *then* split out the sword stuff? A lot of people start with grand plans for a series fully-fleshed out articles, create an elaborate framework of multiple articles, most of which are initially stubs. Then they lose interest or don't have time to complete their plan, and we end up with all these related stubs on something that would have made more sense as a single article or at most a couple of articles. Someone coming along later wanting to work on the same topic is more or less stuck with the incomplete editorial plan of the person who started all the stubs, because it is a lot of work to get articles and redirects deleted -- and this might be discouraging enough that they don't bother cleaning things up or expanding the articles. And Wikipedia gets stuck with some more stuff that is a bit embarassing and which has to wait a long time to get cleaned up. --BM 17:13, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      • By the way, redirecting to a section could be made to work easily if the server handled the Redirect pages by sending the HTTP Redirection Status Code (301) to the browser using the URL for the section. This would also be good in that bookmarks, links on search engines, etc, would end up being to the canonical URL/Article Title, rather than to redirect pages. But this isn't how things are currently done, and doing it this way would have the disadvantage of losing the "Redirected from" link that is currently displayed in a small font in the header of the pages after following a redirect. --BM 16:50, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Synapse Festival

Non-notable college fest. Delete. utcursch 10:19, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

  • Weak Delete. Maybe if it lasts a few more years.--ZayZayEM 14:46, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • making this weak as I agree with the subjectivity of "not notable". This has the propensity to be notable, and it would be sort of silly to delete the article and have to rewrite the article in a few years time. Perhaps the article should not be deleted until the festival kaputs (if.. I mean if).
      • Delete. Wikipedia shouldn't speculate on potential future notability. If it does become notable, it would not be a major burden to recreate this, and the existing stub wouldn't contribute much. — Gwalla | Talk 01:50, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
        • Agreed. But IMHO the point of contention here is the definition of 'notability'. How do you determine whether Synapse is notable or not? - varunrebel 08:44, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:21, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
    • It's nothing like international-level competitions, organized by ACM or IIT. It's just another of those annual college fests. utcursch 04:09, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, not notable enough. Megan1967 03:11, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, 'not notable' is very subjective. DA-IICT is a famous university in India and was ranked 3rd in the ranking of private universities (forgot where I saw the survey). Synapse is also becoming very popular among Indian students. It is true that it is not as popular as some of the other festival's such as IIT's, IIM's etc. BTW I was a student of DA-IICT... Varunrebel 07:39, 1 Feb 2005 (IST)
    • As a student of DA-IICT and author of Synapse, you believe that it should be kept. But think about the precedent that it will set. There are thousands of college festivals in the world. My college has also got two - one cultural and another technical. Synapse isn't notable enough to have an article of its own. If it is kept, Wikipedia will be flooded with such entries. You can write something about Synapse in the DA-IICT article. If it becomes really notable in future, it may deserve a separate article. But as of now, I think it's just another of the annual college festivals that every college has. utcursch 09:02, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
      • varunrebel says
        1. "As a student of DA-IICT and author of Synapse..." - Please do NOT try to bias the dscussion by implying that I am saying what I am saying bcoz I am a DA-IICTian. I mentioned that I was an ex-student of DA-IICT just to fair and ethical. I didnt mention it bcoz I wanted to advocate on behalf of Synapse. My belief that is should be kept is NOT bcoz I am a DA-IICTian. However I do admit that my special interest in preventing its deletion _is_ bcoz I am DA-IICTian
        2. The 2nd point you have raised is "what if the festivals of all colleges were to be added to Wikipedia? Will Wikipedia not become floded?" My counter-question is "So what?" I dont think the inclusion of college festivals in Wikipedia is harmful as long as it is made very clear that it is a college festival and the reader does not confuse it with anything else.
        3. And my final question/issue that I have voiced before this also - "How do you define notable?" I claim that Synapse is well known enough to be included. You say that it is not. How do we objecively decide who is right? (if there is such a thing as 'right') - varunrebel 10:34, 6 Feb 2005 (UTC)
Hi Varun, firstly, I am not trying to bias the discussion. Secondly, you should understand that Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a repository. Everything can't find a place here. A link to the official synapse website on Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology page is more than sufficient. However, creating a separate article for it is not OK. Answering your third argument, since you've create the page, it's your duty to explain why the fest is notable, not mine. I (like other users who've voted delete) find it non-notabble, because it has not reached the level of significance required to find a mention in Wikipedia. It's not famous in India, and certainly not of international level. utcursch 04:35, Feb 7, 2005 (UTC)

Zantonavitch

edit

It appears non-notable (vanity?), about a writer/journalist whose name comes up 366 times in Google - most of which are just due to posts on forums or blogs by him. Name of article does not seem correct, should at least be Andre Zantonavitch. -- AlbinoMonkey (Talk) 13:21, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Delete I followed your example -- googled, looked at some of what came up. He's just one more opinionated blogger and ideological warrior on various bulletin boards. Sorry, but they're a dime a dozen.--Christofurio 15:03, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

K\'Vort class starship

edit

I'll abstain, because I'm not sure what Wikipedia's guidelines are on this one. But: is an entry for a fictional Klingon vessel encyclopedic, or is it excessive, non-notable Trek-cruft? (Note: there is a typo in the article's title). --Plek 13:51, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I dare to face the wrath of a thousand trekkies. (AM- I think Wikipedia policy will allow such an article)--ZayZayEM 14:48, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. There's already a complete, wikified article at the correctly-spelled K'Vort class starship. This new article appears to be a copy-paste from a mirror of the original; the opening material seems identical. --TenOfAllTrades 15:37, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as a duplicate. There are plenty of Wikipedia articles on Trek ships and ship classes, so I don't object to the subject matter. (However, is the K'Vort class information canon? I know there's a few episode references to maybe it is. I'm not up on my Klingon ships.) 23skidoo 15:57, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Oh, we definitely want our articles about Klingon starships to have titles that are correctly spelled. And they had better be canonical starships; we wouldn't want an article about a Klingon starship class that someone had, you know, just made up or something. --BM 20:22, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. It seems like it should even be a speedy delete; it's a simple copy and paste from the real K'Vort class starship article but all the text formatting has been lost. I think articles on Star Trek ships are great, and the K'Vort is canon, but this is just a duplicate of the real article. TomTheHand 00:10, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Well, it's spelled wrong. Even the Trekkies can't whinge about this one. Average Earthman 00:46, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to K'Vort class starship. It appears to be a title spelling mistake. Megan1967 03:15, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this article as duplicate. As for the spirit of this nomination, I get the impression that Plek would nominate the real version of this article for deletion as well. I'm not entirely sure if it's all encyclopedic, but I would give the entire series of science-fictional ship classes (see Starship class) a weak keep. --Plutor 17:10, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • No, I didn't necessarily mean to ditch the entire series or genre, but I think it's a valid question to ask whether a fictional universe needs to be described in so much detail on Wikipedia. There isn't anything yet in Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents that provides an answer, so maybe it's time for a precedent. I do wonder if we're not wasting time and energy on a duplicate effort, when there's an excellent and IMO superior Trek Wiki available at Memory Alpha. For instance, compare "our" Sovereign class starship to "theirs", or "our" Intrepid class starship to "theirs". Maybe some creative use of inter-Wiki linking will lead to a better end result than trying to come up with all the material independently. Just my 0.02. --Plek 20:15, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Talossan language

edit

Vanity conlang made up for the vanity micronation Talossa. See also the vanity bio R. Ben Madison. Wile E. Heresiarch 15:37, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • To have constructed a dictionary of 28000 words by speaking the language (assuming that this is verifiable) is a notable achievement for "a few dozen" people. And yes, a quick Google Groups search shows that this does appear to have the "interest" (although perhaps not the "respect") of those who study constructed languages. Keep and send to Cleanup. Uncle G 16:14, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Delete. Constructed languages are like model airplanes. The hobbies of constructing languages or model airplanes are notable. The actual languages or airplane models usually are not. --BM 18:13, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The vast majority of conlangs are non-notable (as are, indeed the vast majority of micronations). Talossa is not a non-notable micronation; Talossan; having an extensive lexicon and grammar and being reasonably well-attested throughout the web, is notable as an example of its sort of conlang. Keep as exception to general principle. Lacrimosus 19:51, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't agree. For it to be notable, it would have had to break out of the conlang "community" to the wider world. Saying it is notable because conlangers talk about it on the Web is like saying that fictional planets in the Star Wars universe are notable because Star Wars fans talk about them on the Internet. Oh wait, never mind. --BM 20:28, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • The simile would only be appropriate if real people actually lived on those fictional planets. People do, reportedly (see my previous caveat), actually speak this language. And, reportedly, the language grows by actual use. Whether it has as many speakers, or is used as often, as Klingon is certainly a factor. But the Google Groups search indicates that this is more than simply R. Ben Madison alone proselytising something that he made up. My biggest concern is not with the language, but with the "micronation" aspect. This seems more like a long running role-playing game than a nation, which the players have fleshed out with a language with its own detailed fictional history. That's certainly a reason to be highly dubious of an R. Ben Madison article. However, whilst the position of king in an RPG isn't real the language invented for players of that game to use when playing is real, and appears to have garnered some attention (albeit, as I mentioned before, not as positive as this article makes out) from outsiders. So for me, the notability of this language rests upon whether it has any outstanding features (which, given that other constructed languages also grow by use, is not certain) and how widespread its use, and the study of it, are (which, I point out again, I'd like to see verified). Uncle G 13:33, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)
        • People don't really speak these languages as a primary language, or even for any real purpose other than their own amusement. I read an article about a Klingon "speaker" who tried to make his infant son bi-lingual in Klingon and English. He spoke exclusively Klingon to the boy and his wife spoke exclusively English. This should have worked: lots of kids are bilingual, or even trilingual because of strategies like this adopted by their parents. But the experiment failed: the kid refused to speak Klingon after a while. One reason that was proposed for this was that Klingon didn't have a lot of useful words for households with infants like "diaper" and "sippy-cup". Or maybe it would have worked if it had been his mother speaking the Klingon. We don't call them mother tongues for nothing, but mothers are probably not nutty enough to try it. The reason might be more profound: there just might be something about real human languages that people don't understand well enough yet to create a language from scratch that someone can actually acquire as a child. A conlang that someone taught to their child might be notable. This one is just a hobbyist plaything. --BM 18:09, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
          • Comment: As a linguistics student, and one with an interest in conlangs, I would dispute this. There is nothing within the Klingon language's grammar that would prevent it being acquired as a native language. The reasons it its not have to do with sociolinguistic and pragmatic factors. As for outstanding features, in terms of conlangs, it has an exceptionally large lexicon, quite a lengthy history, and an unusually large speaker/enthusiast base. These are what motivates me to consider this as an exception to generally non-notable conlangs. The point about Quenya, Sindarin and Esperanto is taken, but I think a fair overview of conlanging, existing as it does largely on the Internet, is prevented if we restrict ourselves to published works (as we wouldn't do, with say, the furry community). Lacrimosus 20:04, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Although I'm a conlanger by myself, this hasn't reached any status like Esperanto, Quenya, Sindarin or Klingon. If I encounter an article about my own conlangs, I would also nominate it to VfD, because of non-notability --Neigel von Teighen 20:32, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Minor trivia, probably will never get expanded. I suggest it gets merged into Koko. JoaoRicardo 20:36, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Scott McKeown

edit
  • It is with a heavy heart that I nominate this for VfD, for the loss of anyone is sad and a loss in tragic circumstances like the Glendale train crash even more so.

  • Delete It's really a shame to delete this; we really need to establish a WikiMemorial or WikiObituaries. We should warn the author so he/she doesn't lose the text if we do delete this. I don't like doing this, but it's just not encyclopedic.Zantastik 07:21, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - we have terrible double standards here. Why do we have an article on Doris Angleton, a murdered socialite? is a socialite encyclopedic, but a telecommunications professional not? Why do we have an article on Jessica Bergsten and Cassie Bernall instead of only an article on their murderers? Why is Carlie Brucia's murder encyclopedic, but McKeown's death not? Why is Kris Donald's murder anymore note-worthy than McKeown's death? Are the following deaths significant enough to deem a devoted article? Kristen French, Kimberly Anne Guglielmo, Tammy Homolka, Brian Howe (murder victim), Christine Jessop, Holly Jones, Leslie Mahaffy, Gail Miller, Betty Osborne, Alison Parrott, Reena Virk, Lili Wang and Cecilia Zhang. If you are going to delete Scott McKeown, you should consider deleting many of the articles i've metioned. Kingturtle 02:00, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • The quick answer would be that we have those articles because they haven't been nominated for VfD. Average Earthman 10:16, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • I've gone through and had a quick read of all the articles you link to. I'll put a brief summary of my thoughts on each one below. Before I do that, I should say that I think that beign murdered is slilghtly more notable than being killed in a train crash, but not sufficent to merit inclusion in WP on its own, however if the murder is notable this can make the victim notable (for being notably murdered). Whether this is a view shared by others I have no idea. If others want to use my comments in any future VfDs on these articles you may do.
      • Doris Angleton (created 28 August 2003, marked for cleanup since 8 December 2004): Doesn't seem notable to me, although if it is cleaned up notability may be established. 90% of the edits have been by User:WhisperToMe, who created the article.
      • Carlie Brucia (created 4 February 2004). This apparently generated a lot of US-nationwide media attention at the time, which would establish enough notability for me. The talk page shows it was subjected to a VfD from 8 February 2004, the consensus of which was to keep that article.
      • Jessica Bergsten was murdered by "famous skateboarder Mark Rogowski". Because of his fame (his article firmly establishes that) and the fact she was prominently featured in a DVD about his rise and fall (see her article) I feel she merits an article.
      • Cassie Bernall was a Columbine High School massacre victim. Of the 15 victims of that tragedy, 6 have articles. Of those 6, 4 are subject to current VfDs (all started by User:UncleG on 1st February, the current consensus seems to be to make them redircts to the massacre article. The only other one who is not subject to a VfD is Rachel Scott, this seems to be because her parents have written very extensively about her and the massacre. Were Cassie's article to be subject to a VfD I wouldn't vote.
      • Kris Donald (a white person murdered by "British Asians of Pakistani Muslim origin"): reading the article this seems to have been quite an issue, with the case being cited by far right wing groups and contrasted to the Stephen Lawrence murder. I'd vote to keep this article.
      • Kristen French: Doesn't strike me as notable at all. I will be marking this for VfD when I have finished commenting here.
      • Kimberly Anne Guglielmo: "The murder of Kimberly Anne Guglielmo which at first received sensational print and elecronic media coverage in New York and Florida, was eventually dropped as attention of the public was diverted to the trial of O. J. Simpson and the arrest of Timothy McVeigh". Reading this extensive article, it seems notable enough to me.
      • Tammy Homolka: Murdered by her sister, serial killer Karla Homolka. Whether she is notable or not is a pretty difficult decision. There is not much more in this article than what is said about her in her sister's article. I'm not nominating this for VfD myself, but if someone else did I'd probably vote weak delete.
      • Brian Howe (murder victim) was killed by the extremely notorious Mary Bell. The article says absolutely nothing however (when you remove the cleanup and stub notices your left with his date of death and date of burrial. I will also be nominating this for deletion.
      • Christine Jessop This doesn't establish notability at all - I'll mark it for VfD.
      • Holly Jones. This is more difficult to decide on, if the murder happened in Britain it would almost certainly have caused a lot of media attention, especially as the tabloids would haev a field day with the comments about Child pornography. Can anyone from the Toronto area (or Canada in general) say whether this happened or not? I wont mark this for VfD, but I have put a note on the talk page.
      • Leslie Mahaffy. Again this doesn't seem notable to me, another VfD I think.
      • Gail Miller. Notable enough (but only just) imho.
      • Betty Osborne. This seems to be locally important, whehter this is enough I will let others decide.
      • Reena Virk. Notable enough for me.
      • Lili Wang. Just notable enough imho, but only just.
      • Cecilia Zhang her dissapearance made "Canadian and international headlines.". This statement in itself make the article worth keeping imho.
Remeber that all of the above are just my personal opinions, if you find any other articles on WP that you genuinely feel don't belong you are free to propose them for deletion. Thryduulf 12:10, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Benjamin Franklin True Patriot Act

edit

This page describes (in great detail) a bill introduced to the U.S. Congress by Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul that would have repealed sections of the Patriot Act. Not only did the bill die without action last year, there are literally thousands and thousands of bills that get introduced during a session of Congress, about 7 percent of which actually get enacted. I'm sure the bill was a fine one, but a) it went nowhere, and b) it never had a chance to go anywhere, which to me makes this not notable and thus not worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia, despite the controversial nature of the Patriot Act. (There have been fistfuls of bills introduced trying to do various things to the Patriot Act, and this one is not particularly special in that group. I am a Capitol Hill reporter, so unfortunately I am all too familiar with this topic.) Katefan0 20:56, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)

    • Just a quick explanatory note: It will never pass. It in fact has now ceased to exist. It was introduced in the 108th Congress. It is now the 109th Congress. When Congress enters into a new congressional session, all bills are considered dead. They can be re-introduced (with new numbers), but for all intents and purposes they no longer exist. So far this has not been re-introduced, and probably won't be. Katefan0 17:15, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
      • That was my {apparently too-subtle} point.  :) RickK 22:43, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Add a sentence or two to the Patriot act article. --Calton 01:01, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • At least merge some of this to USA PATRIOT Act or to the article on Kucinich, but I think it is more significant than much of the above suggests. This was more a protest action and a critique of the USA PATRIOT Act than it was ever really intended to pass into law. Think of it as a political demonstration by two House members whose politics are, in most respects, quite different from one another: Kucinich on the left edge of the Democratic Party and Ron Paul a right-libertarian Republican. I'm not sure if the detailing of its provisions is the right article to have, but I'd vote keep for rewriting this as a window into the strange bedfellows that have arisen from civil libertarian opposition to the USA PATRIOT Act. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:58, Feb 1, 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge to 2-3 sentences in USA PATRIOT Act and one sentence each in Dennis Kucinich and Ron Paul. Agree with Jmabel's analysis, but unless he's prepared to do such an encyclopedic edit, we should leave it to short notes in those articles, since I also agree with Katefan0 that there were many such bills introduced. This was more notable than most, but was still an instrument of debate rather than a bill that was passed. Barno 14:49, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong keep. The legislation proposed by a congressman is even more important than where he went to high school. Ashibaka tlk 21:08, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Members of Congress introduce/sponsor legislation ALL THE TIME. I looked it up, and Kuchinich is listed as sponsor of 19 bills and Paul of 62. Listing all of them would be pointless, and since the one we're discussing sank without a trace, why give it special prominence?
  • Keep Opposition to the Patriot Act is notable. As a part of that opposition, at the federal legislative level, pushes its notability above the "literally thousands and thousands of bills that get introduced". Passage is not required for notability. Added notability comes from its sponsorship by a 2004 presidential candidate. - Keith D. Tyler [flame] 23:08, Feb 4, 2005 (UTC)
    • Opposition to the Patriot Act is no more notable than opposition to any other policy of the Bush administration: war in Iraq, defense policy, energy policy, Social Security privatization, tax cuts, education, you name it. Dozens of federal bills are introduced/sponsored every session by former presidential candidates: John Kerry, who actually polled above single digits, has 29 with his name on them from the 108th Congress.
    • The term for keeping this article is "POV", and talk about "notability" is mere hand-waving. The bill was introduced, sank without leaving any real ripples, and is now officially dead: any "notability" is among those committed to those opposing the USA PATRIOT Act, not the world at large. This bill, is, at best, a historical footnote not deserving of a full article -- certainly not in the eye-glazing detail this one has -- and the purpose of keeping it is for consciousness-raising (or, to be blunt, propaganda) purposes. --Calton 01:46, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
      • I respectfully disagree with you, Keith. The fact that this bill was introduced in opposition to the Patriot Act does not inherently make it notable. I also disagree that it gains added notability because it was introduced by Kucinich. He was a presidential candidate, but only barely -- like this bill, his candidacy was futile from the start. Does this also mean that failed Democratic contender Carol Moseley Braun's bills are also inherently more notable? (No.) Katefan0 20:58, Feb 5, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Even if "This bill, is, at best, a historical footnote..." then what is a comprehensive encyclopaedia like this for if it is not allowed to contain what could hardly be considered an excessively long piece on a historical footnote. Its existence cannot be propaganda unless you argue that an articles existence constitutes implied notability and hence validity. So then edit the page to accurately portray its actual significance, so people can decide for themselves. I believe we should err on the side of preservation not deletion, even if the notability is questionable -- Fuzz 02:18, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Vote is user's first edit. --fvw* 02:24, 2005 Feb 5 (UTC)

The Library (The Twilight Zone)

edit

I can't see how this is an encyclopedic article. It reads like the back cover of a book. Perhaps it is. --Smoddy | ειπετε 21:01, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, should probably go into a twilight zone episode list somewhere, though I have a strong gut feeling that this is a copyvio from meatspace. --fvw* 21:59, 2005 Jan 31 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup and a rewrite is needed. Star Trek and Doctor Who episodes rate their own articles, so Twilight Zone stories are just as worthy (especially on the basis that many of them are standalone classics). However this article needs a lot of work to bring it in line with other episode articles (for example I can't tell from this which of the three TZ series The Library comes from). 23skidoo 23:04, 31 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • You could if you were to look at List of The Twilight Zone episodes. ☺ Someone has recoloured a redlink. Picking a handful of bluelinks at random from that page, I find that some, like Her Pilgrim Soul (The Twilight Zone), are reasonably decent, whilst others, like Button, Button (The Twilight Zone) and To See the Invisible Man (The Twilight Zone), are just as lacking as this one. However, the former indicates that an article like this can be done well, without descending into describing fiction as if it were reality, as is such a problem with many science-fiction articles.

The boner essay

edit

Although this is nothing like the sniggeringly juvenile article I expected from its name, it's still not the slightest bit notable. Googling for "Michael Scherger", the central figure in the incident, turns up a hundred or so hits, most of which are for other people with the same name, plus a couple of one-time references on "weird news story" sites and "weird sex story" sites, all from 2002 and all of which quote the same newspaper story.

    • Please stop calling it "vanity". Perhaps you do not understand the project, but your willingness to jump to conclusions is not helpful.
      As I stated, I never asked for it to be put up in the first place and would not have written it, but the project is not about me. I feel sorry that the entry was written when it project was too new.
      But it is not "vanity".
      --jenlight 22:46, Jan 31, 2005 (UTC)
      • A vanity page does not necessarily have to be written by its subject. However, I'd go for non-notable. People don't have an automatic right to have themselves deleted from the encyclopaedia, of course, any more than they have the right to have themselves included. But in this case my vote aligns with the subject's wishes, even if they are for different reasons. Since Jenlight already has this on xyr user page, a straight Delete rather than Userfy. Uncle G 00:02, 2005 Feb 1 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wile E. Heresiarch 07:25, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)

    • Deletions proceed as per deletion policy. There is a required lag time, for good reason. If there had been a reason, such as copyright violation or libel, to speed up the deletion, it would be happening much more quickly. But then in such cases it wouldn't be going through the VFD process in the first place. There are other processes for those cases. There is no copyright violation or libel here. If people are hassling you about the page, tell them to read this VFD discussion, as the notice on the top of the page suggests. And to expand upon Markaci's point in the edit summary: You don't get the final say in encyclopaedia articles about you, any more than anyone else gets final say in encyclopaedia articles about them.

  • Delete, of course. But rather than literal vanity, this looks like malice to me. I don't think Ben Rider himself is the person behind this. The site the article links to now has the text "Also Alex Hansen created this site about me, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ben_Rider and apparently it's being shut down because people don't like it. Go to it and see what you think". Wikipedia:Vanity page says that some pages that seem to be "vanity" pages contain embarrassing (and possibly false) details about the subject's life and may not be written by the subject of the article. These pages should be speedily deleted, as they may contain libelous material or violate copyrights owned by the subject. Does this mean that this could be considered to be covered by speedy deletion criteria #3 (Vandalism)? If so, by all means, speedy. If not, the semi-policy seems inconsistent with the actual policy. Considering we have a fair bit of these things, I think it would be useful to find a way to actually speedy the average Malice page, although I see the problem with drawing the line. / Alarm 20:52, 1 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I wouldn't be so sure that this article is completely mocking him, as difficult as that may be to believe -- although there is clearly some mockery in the photos. Rider seems to acknowledge the WP article on his web site, saying that it was written by some friend of his. He seems to know about the VfD vote, and sends his readers over to read the Wikipedia article. --BM 01:12, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Wonderful. That means he and his friends can read my delete vote as well. If this isn't out-and-out malice from someone other than the subject, it's the work of someone who discovered our little slice of heaven and is exploiting it for a laugh. OK, then...enjoy the chuckle for now and consider seeing an opthamologist about that "lazy eye."  :^P - Lucky 6.9 02:16, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Female tennis player stabbed in the back by a fan

edit

My first reaction on seeing this article was "What the hey?" Even if this weren't a copyvio, the subject line is uninformative, it lacks any organizing structure, nothing links to it, & what useful information that's here should be rolled over into Monica Seles. The only reason that I don't consider this as a speedy delete is there's a small chance that the author is storing this material here while he uses it elsewhere. Delete.
