(Note that I already thought this before visiting his webpage to discover that the first words in the site intro were "Welcome to the All Canadian Surf Club," which proves my point. I'm psychic, I tell you, psychic! And no, the Hip song was not a notable single, so I'm not proposing that the title be repurposed as an article about the song.)

  • keep It was just posted on a music forum that this article was up for deletion, so I
            thought I would voice my opinion on it.  This is a new side project, by the 
            composer for "The synthetic dream foundation", which is one of the most prominent
            electronic music projects in the industrial and dark ambient worlds.  The fact, 
            that this band has the same composer and member as a major, prominent band, makes
            it follow one of the 5 necessary ingredients for inclusion based on the rules 
            regulating the inclusion of bands for Wikipedia.
  • keep Sorry bad english. Keep band for popular in Venezuela.
  • keep I followed the same link mentioned above, and for the same reasons mentioned above
            this is certainly a notable composer and their work should be represented in
            Wikipedia
  • Second unsigned vote by User:71.99.165.86

Or is it a bandity article into which someone offered to disambiguate two names that need no disambiguation? Both are wrong.

  • Delete - I've added the above link to Razorlight, but its information is apparently outdated. Most of the band's other members have original biog pages on wikipedia - Christian (Smith) Pancorvo's page neglects to inform readers that he is no longer the band's drummer. Even if he's sufficiently notable to warrant having his own page, this isn't it. TheMadBaron 10:14, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete: Being the drummer, even if he were, would not justify him for a biography. Instead, it would warrant a single line in the article on the band (if that were even warranted).

I cant verify that the information on the page is true, but they are a real band, a pretty good band, and an important enough band to merit inclusion here.

[edit] Caesar St. Augustine de Buonaparte

Tagged for speedy as nn-bio. Whilst sounding ridiculous, Google certainly implies that this nutcase did do these things. AfD gets to decide if these things are enough for an article. Abstain. -Splash 00:21, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete nn. I don't think it's serious enough to warrant an article. Also, to even think of considering this person, I would have to see proof he not only tried to run for president, but that he actually got on the ballot in at least one state, so he could actually be called a "candidate". Without that, he's just one of countless insignficant crackpots. --rob 03:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per rob Dlyons493 05:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep in light of this article that proves he did run for the office. There's a mass of other Googleable material on him as well. Vizjim 14:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Please check that link; it indicates only that he was a "candidate" affiliated with "The Good Party", which hasn't established notability enough for a WP article of its own. None of that page's links indicate that he ever made it onto a ballot, and I agree with rob. I have several friends who "declared they were running for President" in postal game zines or other sources of entertainment and/or self-publicity. I haven't dug through the links from the Google search mentioned-but-not-linked above, but I would need something more substantial to vote to keep this. Barno 00:28, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Given the link of Vizjim and some other google, I change my mind. But it should be rewritten, making it clear it is a prank. Cyclopia 15:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable crackpot. Simply declaring that you're going to run for president isn't good enough; thousands of people do that. You need to actually get your name on the ballot. --Carnildo 23:12, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. According to the Federal Election Commission's report [2], he didn't get his name on one state's general election ballot, nor a primary ballot, nor even got votes reported as a write-in. User:Vizjim's link proves only that Buonaparte declared himself a candidate, not that he actually made any effort to participate in the election. --Metropolitan90 01:45, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think if notability is asserted solely due to running for public office, the subject has to have made it onto the ballot. MCB 06:45, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, even if he made it onto a ballet, it wouldn't make him notable enough by itself. That he didn't, makes him even less notable. -- Kjkolb 08:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Military history of Germany during World War II

Before you start, don't get me wrong, this is a good page in theory and probably in practice. However, it isn't going anywhere. At the moment, it's a useless fork of European theatre of World War II, where all of this info is already available in much greater detail. And it has been given time to grow and develop. Obviously, it's not going anywhere. In it's present form, there is simply no obvious reason to keep it. I argued this point on the talk page a long time ago, but I've no intention of personally writing the article, as I suggested there. If somebody improves this significantly during the voting period, however, I'd be willing to reconsider.--naryathegreat | (talk) 00:30, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep and rename. This article is part of the History of Germany-series, and considering how important WW II was in forming modern German history, this deserves its own article. However, it should be moved to history of Germany during World War II (or something similar), since it's not supposed to be on military history. The top level-article here is not World War II, but rather Germany, of which history of Germany is merely a sub-article. / Peter Isotalo 13:28, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Seattle_Surrealist_Group

  • Delete, Non-notable, article created by user:Daniel C. Boyer to promote non-notable group here on Wikipedia. The only references on this group is two blogs.Classicjupiter2 00:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete part of a huge wave of similar stuff, much of which was deleted long ago. 8 unique Google hits. It's worse than I thought, really... on closer inspection, it appaears that this group barely even exists. According to their blog, they have 5 members. Completely non-notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:14, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Though you have a point, or may have a point, with respect to your other arguments, your implication that the membership of the group per se has to do with its notability is questionable. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, per nominator. Not a speedy as re-creation of previously deleted material... but apart from changes in the name of the city and the members, it is essentially similar to many others, all voted for deletion. Dpbsmith (talk) 22:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • This is a total non-argument. There are obviously a number of possibilities: that all these groups are notable, that they are all non-notable, that some are notable and others are not. Making a judgment other than on each on its own merits or the lack thereof is improper. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, sigh; apparently WP policies are one of those bits of reality to which Boyer is trying to avoid conforming. Barno 00:36, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • To what WP policy does this not conform? I'd challenge you to name it. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:27, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. This article was submitted 11 September of this year; I can't find any trace of this article previously having been submitted. If Boyer is resubmitting content that has been removed thru the usual process, I for one would like to see some evidence. If not, then let's try to be civil about his submissions, whether or not they belong here. -- llywrch 22:04, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • If you're referring to me, I said that it was "Not a speedy as re-creation of previously deleted material..." perhaps I should have put "not" in bold. I said it was, however, essentially similar to many others, all voted for deletion. Perhaps I should have put "similar" in bold. a) A number of articles that were similar to each other were all voted for deletion; b) therefore, a consensus exists that such articles should be deleted; c) this article is similar to those articles; d) therefore, this article should be deleted. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:09, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't think that you can go as far as you do in "b". In my opinion the most that one can say is "it seems that a consensus exists that such articles should be deleted", but the way that Articles for deletion is currently done (and I would argue for keeping it this way) the consensuses are reached or not reached on individual articles, not vaguely-defined types of articles. In any case, there are some articles on surrealist groups which have been kept, which suggests in any case that you haven't adequately defined what you mean by "such articles". --Daniel C. Boyer 19:41, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Dpbsmith, I misunderstood. But it would help me (at least) in the future if you linked to this precedent. -- llywrch 19:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn. -Sean Curtin 20:58, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, per Boyer's arguments. Reading this article, I was struck by the lack of any explanation of notability: in blunt English, this article fails to answer the question, "What have they done?" Have they held any exhibits, performances, published any works? Instead of citing examples of these (which would help convince me -- & hopefully others -- to vote to keep), Boyer responds with explaining his own interpretation of the rules, apparently arguing that if the rules do not forbid it then this article should be kept. Sorry, Boyer: that argument does not persuade me. -- llywrch 19:30, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I have argued no such thing. I have not said or argued the article should be kept, I have just argued that it should be judged on its own merits, not lumped together with others, and some other points about what people said. There is nothing to be sorry about as I never said that if "the rules do not forbid it then this article should be kept". --Daniel C. Boyer 23:41, 19 September 2005 (UTC)

Daniel, please understand what is being asked of you here. It is very simple: Where we can find information on this group, in regards to publications, gallery exhibits, books, films, anything??? All you gave us was a blog. This really is a clubhouse that you are promoting here and it just gets weaker and weaker every time you challenge a delete vote. I would have supported this article if there was suitable material to go on, but as usual, this is all just promotion. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place to promote your friends and their websites and blogs. Daniel, please let me give you some good advice: When you create an article on contemporary surrealism, give us something solid to go on. For example: Nobody that is friends with you and an entity that is notable for their creative ouput. Really Daniel, when it comes to Surrealism as an organized movement, everything kind of goes downhill after 1969. Any university professor will tell you that. These friends of your in Seattle, Portland, Houston, Minnesota, Chicago, London, Leeds, etc. need to accomplish something more solid than cheap attempts at notability by getting their friend Daniel C. Boyer to promote them on Wikipedia. Daniel, with all due respect, you really are a great surrealist artist, yet, where do you find the time to create, lately?Classicjupiter2 01:07, 20 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Nobody in the Seattle Surrealist Group is "friends" with me; I've never met them and have had no contact with any of them whatsoever. I am aware that you have repeatedly defined "friends" to mean those who are my friends, some of my casual correspondents, and some of those who have no connexion to me whatsoever, but have not seen fit to justify this definition in any way whatsoever. Your implication that university professors know more about surrealism than surrealists is in my opinion a questionable position, but it's really a POV and nothing more. This POV could certainly be alluded to in any relevant article(s). The same goes for your opinion that "everything kind of goes downhill after 1969". There are many publications (you're certainly aware of some of these, such as Arsenal, Blue Feathers, &c. -- you may be critical of them, and my bet is, correct me if I'm wrong, you'll express such criticism in your response, but this is once again a POV), exhibitions (you are aware, aren't you, of the 1976 World Surrealist Exhibition?) and other manifestations of surrealism in this period, indeed numerically more than in the pre-1969 period, but any discussion of the quality of those manifestations is, again, POV. An expression of any of these POVs is, again, appropriate in any relevant article(s) so long as (at least in general) the holder(s) are identified. Gratified as I am by your concern about me and whether I am able to create, I am puzzled by its relevance to the article. My bet is that you will not answer any of my concerns here. I challenge you to do so. --Daniel C. Boyer 14:43, 20 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Really Daniel, I will answer your, "challenge". First, in regards to Arsenal, that is just another publication that your friend Mr.Rosemont SELLS to us all. Remember, Arsenal comes with a pricetag and REVOLUTION has no price! As for that rag being a legit surrealist publication, that is open for debate. Granted, many of Rosemonts friends (like you) will defend it at all costs, because you all share in this scam on the marvelous. If you were so insistent on Arsenal being a real surrealist publication, then why not provide scans of all the issues and put it on the net. Oh, I forgot, according to, "The Surrealist Movement in the United States" website, it comes with a price. As for, "Blue Feathers", that is a total waste of anyone's time. IF I were to go into any musuem with that rag of Dale's and Barrett's, the security guards would throw me out. That is a clubhouse rag. You are promoting a clubhouse here on Wikipedia, Daniel. Lets really be surrealistically real in the surrealist sense. Daniel, you have not once spoken out about Pierre's lame essay. Comrade Richardson did, why not you???Classicjupiter2 03:02, 21 September 2005 (UTC)
      • You haven't even come close to addressing my point. You haven't addressed your bizarre and idiosyncratic (to say the least) definition of "friends" and after that it's just one (weak, in my opinion) POV after another. As I anticipated, you do exactly what I predicted, crticising the quality or aspects of the journals and publications rather than addressing my concerns. By your criteria no surrealist journal (La Revolution Surrealiste, La Surrealisme ASDLR &c.) has ever been authentically surrealist; they were all sold. But it is up to Wikipedians how much attention they will pay to what is in my opinion a thoroughly ridiculous charge. As for your theory that everything is either computerised or should be, and that "real publications" are not such unless they are digitized, it is hardly worth the rebuttal. There are things called libraries, they have things called books and journals, and if you don't feel like paying for a journal go to the library and read it or check it out. Another digital-centric (beyond bizarre, in my opinion) POV. And as for your making museum guards the arbiters of surrealism, if you were "surrealistically real" in any sense you would know better than that. It is exceedingly difficult to come to any other conclusion than that you are an anti-surrealist. Finally, the "lameness" of "Pierre's essay" is a POV, and one that has no discernible connexion whatsoever to this deletion discussion. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:57, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

I don't get it. Why did you think this person would be worthy of an encyclopedia article? I'll abstain, but I think the first rule of writing is to ask yourself whether you can justify writing whatever you just sat down to write.---CH
Thank you for asking, I tried to be as detailed as possible and with the connection to her husband, who I consider a celebrity, I've found their story very interesting, that was it. I thought I did jusitfy what I wrote. That's my opinion and the opinion of others I have asked, but I can respect yours. And I'm glad this's no Eva Braun, Mr. Hillman, I wouldn't have wasted my time on someone like her. Perhaps Christopher Reeve's wife, Dana. I thank Rob for his help and will do better in the future, I'll choose to delete my research, though I thank those who wanted to give me a chance. I want to join this first before I go on with anymore research, so I can seek advise while researching and what is expected. Again, I'm new at this, I thought I was doing a nice, informative job.

    • No vote on this article, but I feel compelled to object to that last remark. It is not true that there is "consensus here to keep every school." This has been demonstrated time and again for at least two years. In fact the (inactive) page WP:WIWO bears no less than three warnings that "There is currently no consensus about inclusion of schools, and adding your signature here is not going to help create one." Dpbsmith (talk) 22:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Not all roads are notable some schools like Elementary Schools get erased. And most roads are even less notable than that. That is a perfect example.Not ALL numbered roads are notable if we got an article on every road in the world there will be hundreds of millions of articles numbered roads also Probaly a million+ of those out there and We Cant Keep them all. --Aranda56 02:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
        • There are not even close to a million numbered state/provincial roads in the world. If you assumed a rough average of 100 state routes per state, that would be 5,000 articles or so. FCYTravis 03:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
          • Well, I'd put the number closer to 600 per state, so about 30K articles...but still, that's fewer articles than the geography bots maintain here... -- Grev -- Talk 05:22, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
        • This is not just a road, this is a state highway. I would never write an article about the street I live on. Also, there are 4,000 people who must use this road... more people than are in a typical elementary school. --Rschen7754 03:07, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
        • Yeah I over estimated the number of state roads. But still 5000 is too high and thats a low estimate knowing that there are many more of those.Some State Highways are still Non Notable. There are at least 30 of them in Miami alone and most of them dont got articles and i will place the vfd on it also because its only a road --Aranda56 03:46, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
These articles don't do any harm on Wikipedia. They're not vanity. This article will eventually be expanded... so why not just leave it until it is expanded?--Rschen7754 03:54, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
Also note that there are probably about 5000 highway articles on Wikipedia... are you prepared to try and get a VFD on all of them? So far there has been no consensus to deleting highway articles. Also note Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Washington State Route 900--Rschen7754 04:07, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
          • Most of those roads are notable a few are of course not but they are not state route and im going to place the vfd on them. A few of them are also state routes that are more nn than this and im going to wait to place the tag on those But still its just a road that people drive in.

    • Comment: Oh boy. Here we go... In Illinois all numbered state highways are maintained by the state. These are also state routes. There are also other roads that are state maintained and I argue should not have their own article, but some do anyway. So I think author's discretion should come into play, esp. when it comes to historical value. --Rob 15:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • A route is a set of alignments that includes local roads and long-distance highways. Gazpacho
  • Keep, but note that if someone in Texas were to start doing Farm to Market highways, there would be literally thousands of very small articles. As it is, each primary state highway presumably has a historical precedent to be legislated into existence, and I feel it is this that should be emphasized in such articles. See Illinois State Route 2. The goal is to make these articles more than mere route descriptions. --Rob 11:40, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: Replying to myself, but I forgot to include Illinois State Route 336 as a specific example of the importance of highway infrastructure. --Rob 15:14, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep: This article is useful since it's a part of New Hampshire's State Highway system. I can think of articles on Wikipedia that are of far less notability than this. --K1vsr (talk) 17:24, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep simply because it is a numbered US state highway; from what I have read above it appears that there are some states that number more roads than the norm, but I don't think I've heard that about New Hampshire anyway. This road is also not short (approx 43.3 miles).
    • For a road in the United States, 43.3 miles is short. From where I sit right now, 43.3 miles will just barely get me to another city. --Carnildo 03:25, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I disagree. While relative to many areas it may be short (I'm guessing in central US this could be the case), it certianly isn't so everywhere. There are many major roads in my area that are significantly shorter than this one. They are common in connecting suburban areas to cities. --Engleman 04:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

Well, you went to a lot of trouble, and it's very thorough, but I'm afraid the original objection still stands: it's original research. That is, it's a perfectly good idea, but it's your idea, not an established fact such as you'd find in an encylopedia.Chick Bowen 03:38, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I certainly would have voted Delete pre-rewrite, but now I'm surprising myself by voting to keep. Although a rename to "Non-canonical Archie Storylines" or something similar might be good; that way there's no appearance of an "alternate universe" theory being proposed. To point to the Archie comics as a source and make the obvious observation that some storylines fall outside the main continuity does not strike me as Original Research, as long as you don't theorize on the hows and whys of that being the case. Which only leaves me wondering if the topic is notable or encyclopedic. But with hundreds of Star Wars pages out there, I think there's plenty of room for some well-organized Archie information like this. Bunchofgrapes 03:56, 15 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I fail to see how plot summaries fall short of factual. it is easily verifiable to anyone with familiarity of these comics. I say "keep"! (Unsigned comment by 216.80.110.89 at 20:15, 14 September 2005. IP's first Wikipedia edit.)

[edit] Warcraft III strategy

Original research, the author describes on Talk:Warcraft III strategy their goal was to include the Warcraft 3 "strategic and tactical significance of units, spells, and items", "macro strategies employed my professional players", "types of micromanagement", "differences in playing style of the four races". Better suited to Wikibooks or GameFaqs. UnlimitedAccess 04:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

This might be a marginal case of deletion, but Google and Amazon.com tests don't seem to show much. Perhaps when the book mentioned in the article is released this would be notable enough, but for now, it might be deletion material. Paul 00:45, 27 August 2005

  • Keep this article has an edit history dating to 2003, it reads sensibly, maybe an issue with some reverts in the history, but otherwise I can see no problem with this that cannot be sorted out by collective agreement on the articles talk page. Alf melmac 11:31, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • The problem is that they make wild claims about hypersensitivity and hyposensitivity that they cannot backup with evidences. I cannot see anywhere published research that says sensitivity differences would be related to dysfunctions in integration of sensory information. This seems to be a wild guess only. There is no DSM entry either for SID --Rdos 14:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • keepThe term is well-known, nearly 80000 Google hits should be sufficient proof. Pilatus 13:12, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't think Google is much of an indication, especially since the individual words are quite commmon. A search on sensory+integration+dysfunction on PublMed gives 4 hits and none of them give evidences for the theory presented in the article.--Rdos 14:06, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I was searching for the phrase, i.e. "sensory integration dysfunction". Even if it isn't in the DSM and not backed up by science it's at least a popular phrase that is much being thrown around. sensory+integration+autism gave 24 PubMed hits. Besides, for pseudoscience PubMed isn't the best source. Pilatus 14:30, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
        • If it is pseudoscience, according to original research policy it should be deleted or at least the article should describe it as such. Another problem is the links, that goes to a company selling treatments for autism. Advertising isn't allowed on WP either --Rdos 16:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
          • It's not up to us to condemn the research as bogus, what matters is that it is popular bogus. Our job is not to judge but to report what the arguments on both sides are and who supports the theory and who doesn't. The linkspam must go, of course. Pilatus 18:09, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

    • Ryan, if this article should be retained, so should the The Neanderthal theory of the autism spectrum. Both theories are equally popular in the autistic community, has the same backing up on PublMed (almost none) and has similar hits on Google --Rdos 18:52, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

        • You'd better present it here as well then. AFAIK, what you presented was evidence that the treatment that predated the theory of SID is well established. You certainly have not shown that SID itself has any meaningful backing in the literature. --Rdos 19:09, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • You're arguing that treatment predated the syndrome? What utter rubbish. Ryan Norton T | @ | C 19:13, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as neologism. Doesn't actually say what the alleged condition is. Mentions what "sensory" means (several times). but never specifies what this neological, sorry, neurological, disorder, manifests as, apart from a sudden leap to autism. Tonywalton  | Talk 22:47, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Can't vouch for the content but apparently is a well-known term. See, New York Times, "Not All Swings Are Created Equal," Sept. 4, 2005. pg. 14.6 (story about a child with "Sensory Integration Disorder"); "Psychotherapy of a Dissociative 8-Year-Old Boy Burned at Age 3," Bradley C Stolbach. Psychiatric Annals. Thorofare: Aug 2005.Vol.35, Iss. 8; pg. 685 (child had been receiving treatment for, among other things, "sensory integration dysfunction."). Crypticfirefly 05:07, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep with {{not verified}} tag (my edit) as a request for further sourcing and verification. This looks like reasonable biomedical science (to my layman's eye), but if relatively newly identified and accepted in the scientific community, there will be acceptable references, although they might take a while to percolate from the world of journals to the publicly-accessible Web. MCB 07:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. There are several pubmed hits for "Sensory integration dysfunction" (see, e.g., PMID 14730839 and PMID 2468631) and many more for sensory integration therapy, which I agree seems to be a separate thing. Rdos, please read the no original research policy more carefully, as I am not sure that you understand it yet. If you need help understanding it and have questions, please feel free to drop by my talk page and ask me; I'll be glad to help. Regards, Nandesuka 22:06, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Much of the information in this Sensory Integration Dysfunction article can be confirmed in a book called "The Out-of-Sync Child Recognizing and Coping with Sensory Integration Dysfunction" by Carol Stock Kranowitz, M.A. Rdos, I am aware that not all people who have autism have Sensory Integration Dysfunction as a co-morbid condition and this article does not imply they do. However many do, including several members of my family as well as myself. It is a good thing to have a thumbnail article about Sensory Integration Dysfunction like this for laymen.

    • The point is not whether your family have the symptoms of SID. The point is that it has not been verified that these symptoms are caused by integration issues in the brain. --Rdos 09:31, 15 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. I also have SID. I refer people to this page because it the only convenient summary of SID on the internet. In regards to Tonywalton's comment, this article says exact what it is.
  • Keep. Reservations about the validity of SID can be discussed on the talk page or in an added section in the article, but this is a legitimate topic worthy of an article. There should also be an article about sensory diets, a popular trend in treating Pervasive developmental disorders, and these articles should link to each other. --Woggly 06:56, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Anti-pokemon

Anti-Pokemon is an orphan article written about a non existing word/name (Gibberish phrase) which is also misspelled. The content of the article does not explain the term "Anti-Pokemon" and has been made by just guessing wiki markup, for example creating headlines by writing bold text followed by a horizontal line (which users are told to use sparingly) without previewing causing gibberish like "Italic textAntiItalic text". See Pokémon theme music also. --Shreddy 20:34, 29 August 2005 (UTC)

  • I would counter your reasons, Shreddy. When someone goes to Wikipedia, they want to be able to see info on all types of sources. Also, there is an extensive issue on "Pokemon", so everyone would know what that meant. Plus, horizontal lines are used sparingly (just twice). "Use Sparingly" doesn't mean "never use". Finally, Anti-Pokemon is not spelled wrong, and it is not gibberish, either. Sure hope no one makes the grave mistake of deleting this page. --Scyther-Mantis 12:34, 30 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Alexander Belikov

Was listed for speedy deletion on the grounds that it's an article about a real person that does not assert that person's importance or significance. But it seems to me the article does attempt to assert this person's importance, for example by saying "In year 2002 he won silver medal at All-Russia Olympiade for Young Physicans where he had shown a great knowledge of mechanics, statical and dynamical electricity and optics", so I'm moving it here. I'm not convinced young Alexander really is important or significant, though, so I'm voting delete. Angr/tɔk tə mi 08:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] F-5 tornado

This page seems rather unnecessary... for completion we would have to have F-0 tornado, F-1 tornado, etc... and none of those pages are weighty enough to have their own category. Also, reasons for "sudden downturn of F-5 tornadoes" can be listed under "tornado". Rob 11:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I, (My IP adress is listed) created the page. Delete it if you want. I tried to make a page for my expirimentation, but delete if you must.

[edit] Magatama (martial art)

It's a misconception that there's a martial art called Magatama in the --King of Fighters-- series - the actual names of the arts used by characters of the Kusanagi family, as well as Iori and Shingo (mostly "Kusanagi style of ancient martial arts") are listed in an official source, the www.kof10th.com website, in the individual character profile pages. The misconception derives from part of the legend that inspired the Orochi plot in the KoF games up to 1997, as there are 3 sacred objects associated with the legend: a sword, a mirror, and a magatama (an object which has its own Wikipedia article, and which shouldn't need to go through a disambiguation page to be reached), which correspond to 3 important characters in that series, respectively Kyo, Chizuru and Iori Loona 11:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Question How common is the misconception? Would an explanation of the misconception be appropriate in, say, the King of Fighters article or another appropriate article? If so, my feeling is that it should be merged not deleted. KeithD (talk) 13:19, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
It's not that frequent to be worth mentioning in the main KoF article - at most, mentioning the common points (these tend to stick to the some of the special moves they use, and the odd normal attack or two) between the styles used by the characters Kyo Kusanagi, Iori Yagami, Shingo Yabuki and Saishu/Saisyu Kusanagi (Kyo's dad - the spelling of the name tends to change slightly according to the source) in their respective profiles - Kyo's, at least, is in need of some tweaking. In short, the fighting style that does exist (and evolves) in KoF is that of the Kusanagi clan, which the official bios pretty much refer to as "Kusanagi style" - Saishyu passed that on to Kyo (who changed some aspects of it after being beat by Goenitz prior to the KoF96 tournament), while the Yagami had something quite different in many aspects, with only a few similarities that border parody by opposition (this is most noticeable in KoF 95, where both Kyo and Iori - who debuted in that game - have projectiles, but throw them with practically opposite hand movements - Kyo's is up-to-forward, and Iori's is back-to-down; another special has both of them dashing at an opponent, and while Kyo lifts his victim upon hitting him, Iori slams him into the ground - both follow up with an explosion); Shingo is basically a Kyo fanboy who tries to do the same things, but with no formal training (other than bugging Kyo to show him a move, and then proceeding to practice that countless times, so it's said), although Saishyu offers to train him in a KoF2003 ending. In no game or official source is a "Magatama style" mentioned, so it's something not worth focusing on outside the character profiles IMO, especially with a wrong name, and certainly not with a page of its own.

  • Delete, gamecruft that isn't even valid in the context of the game. Barno 01:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The Gay Barbarians and/or the Jaurwars

This band only gets 3 google hits. One of those is Wikipedia, and another is a page written by the author of the article. Pburka 21:41, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment Search on yahoo. The band is completely groundbreaking in everything that they do, why shun them even more? User:misterknowall 16:23, ET.
  • Delete. "Groundbreaking" is one of the oldest POVs in the book. If I had a nickel for every artist that was "groundbreaking", I could finally afford a new cliche to describe things that are common. If it doesn't pass WP:MUSIC, it doesn't belong on Wikipedia. Sorry, bro. Karmafist 20:25, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
  • "Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable)"
  • I think I am prepared to withdraw my nomination and, instead, suggest that this article be Moved. The band appears to actually be named "The Gay Barbarians". I don't know where the "and/or the Jaurwars" part comes from—the only pages on the Web which use that name have all been contributed by misterknowall. Without the suffix, the band garners a slightly more respectable 59 google hits. Pburka 03:53, September 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, I use the "and/or the Jaurwars" tag on the end due to the name printed on the sleeve and cover of the album. However, I would not oppose the album being headed under the name "The Gay Barbarians" with a redirect from this page.

  • Comment Whatever is done with this should be done for consistency to the linked articles I've now created Spear of Lugh, The Dagda’s Cauldron, Stone of Fal e.g. a merge to Tuatha De Danaan or Irish mythology wouldn't be unreasonable. Note also that Claiomh Solais is now effectively a disambig page with Pearse and a contemporary Irish writer involved - I don't want to do that until we see what the voting outcome is. Also I feel Wikipedia standards are what should be applied since we're on Wikipedia - I wouldn't have bothered creating this article myself, but I've invested some time in cleaning it, so my original Weak Keep is now somewhat stronger.

This is a collective AfD for about two dozen Lists of primary route destinations in English counties. The List of Primary Route Destinations in Wiltshire came up for deletion a few days ago.

Each of these lists a couple of towns in the particular county without comment or context. WP:NOT a repository for original data or contextless links. Pilatus 13:44, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete all. No context. Each entry seems to be little more than a list of major towns, which should be covered by the specific counties' articles. KeithD (talk) 14:49, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Far from contextless lists, these are lists of primary destinations, the places you'll see on signposts on major roads, and they're grouped by county. They're not all towns, because not all destinations are towns (see List of Primary Route Destinations in Tyne and Wear which includes Tyne Tunnel). I honestly cannot understand what would cause anyone to wish to delete these excellent, useful list articles. As a simple "for instance" example of how they could be extended and improve the organization of information on Wikipedia, the destinations in each list could be annotated with the major roads leading to them, and the articles on these roads in turn could link to the appropriate lists of primary destinations. --Tony SidawayTalk 14:57, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • In the present state, these lists are absolutely contextless. On their own they are also original data, which does not belong here. One possible outlet for them would be to move the data into the county that they live in. Another would be to put them into a Wikiatlas with the roads that they are linked by. The format of an itinerary (i.e. a road or atlas in words) that you suggest is too clunky to be useful. Even if they were put in the form of an itinerary one would list the cities not by counties but by the road that passes through them. 129.215.195.81 15:41, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure where you get the idea that this is original research. Primary route destinations are designated by, and published by, the Department of Transport. --Tony SidawayTalk 16:39, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Original data, Tony. This falls under 1.5.3 of WP:NOT. Pilatus 17:30, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • C'mon, Tony. This is a scattered travel guide. No one searching for encyclopedic information would look for or in these articles. It can't possibly serve any value to us. / Peter Isotalo 15:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all. Good god, are we going to start making lists for every "destination"? These places have articles. Or use a map! --Fang Aili 15:38, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. Also, it is not clear as to what, exactly, a "primary route destination" is. If this is kept, I suggest changing the name to something else. --Fang Aili 15:51, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Primary route destinations are well defined in the UK and are commonly included in atlases, maps and gazetteers (and, you may not be aware, encyclopedias competing with Wikipedia do normally incorporate at the very least an excellent atlas). The designation is useful for, for instance, gauging distances on the English and Scottish mainland. One would expect to find in a good encyclopedia tables of primary route destinations and their distances from one other.
    • I don't buy the proposition that "No one searching for encyclopedic information would look for or in these articles." In fact I find the suggestion simply incredible. Were I looking for information about the political geography and transportation in a county, I'd expect to find a list of the primary destinations of the major roads, and this is precisely function that these really excellent articles provide. --Tony SidawayTalk 16:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
      • These lists fail at all the points you raise. They are not maps, they are useless for estimating driving distance between major points or any of the points you mention – really, in which regard are they "excellent articles"? Pilatus 19:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all. A bunch of arbitrary roadcruft lists. Wikipedia is not a directory. / Peter Isotalo 15:58, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all as useless, or (and only if someone is willing to do it) merge with their counties - do not keep --Doc (?) 16:18, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep information meaning, they can be kept (which I admit seems like overkill to have so many articles... or merged into List of Primary Route Destinations in the United Kingdom or Primary route destination, or some article. They likely don't deserve articles... but the information is fine. gren グレン 16:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all I don't see that these context-free articles are useful. Dlyons493 16:57, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all. Wikipedia shouldn't need to be a handholding guide for someone trying to follow road signs in England. As written, the information is on it's way to becoming a travel guide, (i.e. "follow these signs, to get to the town you're looking for") which WP:NOT.
  • Delete - Control city primary route destination-cruft. I support a discussion of what control cities and PRDs are and how they're determined, but a big list of them is overkill. FCYTravis 18:35, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, Wikipedia is not a travel guide, a list directory, a collection of source material, an indiscriminate collection of information, or any of a dozen categories which this bewildering display falls under. Roads are one thing, but this is insanity. Lord Bob 19:19, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as they are, but if they were changed into "List of towns in ..." series, I would have no objections. User:Zoe|(talk) 20:16, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all and perhaps put in a pile in one article I guess? Molotov (talk) 22:20, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete listcruft. Bunchofgrapes 22:27, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all - This is just a subset of List of places in xxxshire, and the main settlements in a county can be found in their corresponding county article. These articles are just repeated information in a place no one is going to find them. - Hahnchen 23:17, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all: Wikipedia is not a collection of random information. --Carnildo 23:45, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all. No potential to become encyclopedic. Might as well list Street names in Bedfordshire containing exactly three vowels. (Which would, of course, be very useful to anyone who wanted to know which street names in Bedfordshire contain exactly three vowels). Dpbsmith (talk) 00:16, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all per Pilatus. As a second choice, if there is no consensus to delete these articles, merge and redirect to the articles on the respective counties. --Metropolitan90 02:10, September 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge. Potentially informative, but useless as it is now. -- BD2412 talk 04:05, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Merge with what? KeithD (talk) 08:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
There's really no need to merge at all, this information already exists in the county article. - Hahnchen 23:25, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I can't imagine why this would be useful. Tuf-Kat 08:24, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete all per Lord Bob and the person who forgot to sign their vote earlier. Wikipedia is NOT a how-to on planning a route. If you want to know how to get somewhere use a atlas, map or online planner. A random list of the places you see on roadsigns isn't going to help anyway. - Mgm|(talk) 09:32, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shieling

According to the OED "shieling" is a Scottish term for "a piece of pasture to which cattle may be driven for grazing" or "a hut of rough construction erected on or near such a piece of pasture". It doesn't seem to be any special type of "pastoral behavior or custom" (and even if it were, this article doesn't tell us what it is!). I don't think this article, currently an orphan, could ever be more than a dicdef. Angr/tɔk tə mi 14:55, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] AirScene Remote Sensor (ARS)

Contextually, this is gobbledegook. Although it could be merged to the main article on Rannoch Corporation I believe that it would add nothing. According to the mfrs. product notes, this is a minor component-set of a much larger system. However, the other article referred to, AirScene, which I have now redirected, said nothing about the role of the ARS either! Delete Eddie.willers 15:41, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Phatmass

Promotion of a religious movement, AfD under WP:NOTa propaganda machine. Seems to be part of an organized program to prosteletyze using Wikipedia, see http://www.kensmen.com/catholic/evangelize.html Also related Dust Sieber Flowery and image Phatmass_stage2.gif. Expect to find additional "projects" and numerous reverts as this seems to be part of their program --Outlander 16:36, September 12, 2005 (UTC)


Not promotion of a religious movement, rather a description of a religious movement and more. A valid and noteworthy aspect of contemporary American youth culture. Not simply a unique online community, but also an affiliation of musicians and artists. Excluding phatmass from wikipedia strikes me as a mistake consider the fact that there are articles on some of the must banal and absurd topics.

And I fail to understand the accusation of an organized program to prosteletyze using Wikipedia. The link provided points to a page belonging to some unaffiliated organization who happens to have phatmass.com on their list of websites to prosteletyze. Ha!

Phatmass.com is entirely public and is archived by google.com and archive.org. You will find not evidence of an organized program to prosteletyze using Wikipedia, the accusation is utterly absurd. Good day!

re:Phatmass Hmmm… Phatmass.com doesn’t seem to view “trads” in a favorable light See user profile Extra ecclesiam nulla salus - so the kensmen.com "trad" movement seems entirely unrelated. Moreover, Phatmass is a Christian music production group – therefore a valid entry example: Tooth & Nail Records --Lounge Daddy 17:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

A music production group? Is that what they're describing at http://www.phatmass.com/about/? --Outlander 17:41, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

Note: Phatmass.com has several members who attend a legitamite mass of 1962, myself included ie: the_rev. Others would include at phatmass, McJust, Totus Tuus, and many more. The reaosn why Extra Ecclesiam nulla salus is marked as "phishy" is because he holds beliefs contrary to what the Catholic Church teaches. Promotion of the SSPX, or affiliation is wrong since they are in schism.

Please do not delete this page, because it may be helpful to others.

The About thing is mainly talking about the site which is forums, but any casual perusal of the site will reveal the music side of things (click the music section, or any of the message boards for a particular band in the forums section). And as I said, you will find nothing about an organized prosteletyzing on Wikipedia or whatever else you were accusing phatmass of. The only thing that is related in the phatmass mission statement is: "Our mission is to live and defend the faith given to us by Jesus Christ by remaining totally and completely obedient to the teaching authority of His Church. We encourage dialogue between people of all faiths and recognize that we are all children of God striving for holiness." This is hardly prostelytism, it is defending the faith when anti-Catholics visit the forums and what not. I do not understand your bias in this case. What is the issue?

And futhermore, did you read on that page the section regarding what phatmass does? Example: "Produces Catholic hip-hop music as a creative method of communication to the youth and urban culture" "Performs at live shows and events across the country with the cooperation of a network of different artists"

  • Delete. As a website, they have an Alexa rank of ~100k and falling fast, too low for inclusion. As a music producer they have no allmusic page, nor do any of the bands listed. (One of the bands, Remnant, has an album listed, but no bio.) From what I can tell, just about all of those bands would fail WP:MUSIC as well. --Icelight 18:41, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

No all music page? Check it: http://www.phatmass.com/music/index.php http://www.phatmass.com/music/hip-hop.php http://www.phatmass.com/music/rock.php http://www.phatmass.com/music/rythm_blues.php http://www.phatmass.com/music/electronica.php http://www.phatmass.com/phorum/index.php?showforum=31

Also the same was ranked pretty high on a recent list of popular Catholic sites.

Allmusic, as in Allmusic.com, a site referenced by WP:MUSIC as providing a rather good indication of what a band or lable has done. --Icelight 19:34, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Note - I'm not accusing Phatmass of anything. We delete or keep pages on their own merit, not on any imagined conspiricy. The reason for the note on www.kensmen.com was simply to make other wikipedians aware that such programs exist. --Outlander 20:31, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • I hate myself already, but keep. 68,700 google hits for "phatmass." The article has improved a little since it was nominated, it looks like. Bunchofgrapes 22:07, 12 September 2005 (UTC) Vote changed to Delete - Icelight is correct below, and the vast vast vast majority of those google hits are identical forum pages. I'm no longer convinced this site/movement/organization is notable. Bunchofgrapes 18:10, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Google reads links, Alexa reads hits. This would mean that lots of people link there, but few actually go there. --Outlander 14:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Actually, there are only 79 unique links to phatmass. That's a tiny number, and probably means that the rest are just copies of the same few forums. --Icelight 17:31, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

What's so different about the two sites that they'd allow Onerock and not Phatmass?

Onerock is in AfD - --Outlander 17:55, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Leaning toward keep now that it's cleaned up. Getting slightly off-subject, a friend of mine is friends with Father Stan Fortuna and talks about him often. I've never met him myself. I was flat blown away when I saw his name over on new pages patrol, so I expanded the article. According to his website, he's quite notable. Only thing that keeps me from a full-blown "keep" on this article is no mention of "phatmass" on his website. His main genre seems to be Catholic-based hip hop. - Lucky 6.9 05:13, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
Fr Stan was involved with - and has a track on - Phatmass' first comp, released 1993
  • Delete as per Icelight. Just not enough there except some nn forum and that they produce some bands that don't meet WP:MUSIC. I guess they have an enthusiastic anon editor as PR, which is nice, but does not make the subject notable. MCB 07:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nonnotable. --Angr/tɔk tə mi 07:54, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, article is clean; indications that bands and phatmass brand have been associated with notable youth events, national and international (eg. World Youth Day); I encountered related interviews/features in online sources of apparent note. --Fangorn35
  • Yahoo returned around 128,000 results for 'phatmass'.

Keep, is straightforward, has no "hidden agenda", seems to be a clear and professional organization with links to large events like WYD and NFCYM.

  • Delete Settlements are notable, this isn't. Pilatus 18:19, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

This is a community it was in the Toronto Star for being one of the last of its kind. There are few subdivisions with large houses being built anymore and it was designated as an Exective step up community by the city of Brampton. There are few areas in Brampton that are building these types of homes and it is very significant to the area Gsingh 23:58, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Perhaps the word 'community' is being thrown around a little too loosely. I know little of Brampton but I know a lot about residential subdivision and development. I don't think they should be included in Wikipedia for several reasons, among them: they're just trying to sell a product, they're all hype, and they're not significant in themselves. Few grow to be real communities, most simply just get integrated into the town and lose the 'place', unless there is a gate around it - then it becomes something else. The name is meaningless - just a selling feature, like my couch the 'Palm d'Or' (it has palm trees on it!).

[edit] Bandwidth theft

This article misleadingly conflates a number of unrelated actions under the rubric "bandwidth theft". It gives the impression that this term has some legal or technical meaning, which it does not. Some of the actions described are not crimes at all. Others are crimes under unrelated laws which do not treat with "theft".

Many pieces of the article appear to me to be original research, or simply opinion presented as fact. Others are simply erroneous or misleading. The title, and the presentation of this morass as a single legal or technical category called "bandwidth theft", rather caps it off.

I don't see any way that this can be improved in place: the title needs to go; most of the content is misleading; and what isn't misleading is redundant with other articles that deal better with the specific subjects. That's why I'm recommending it for deletion. For more discussion of the problems, please see the talk page. FOo 17:59, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Why does the title need to go? What other title is suitable for this concept? Kappa 18:02, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
The title needs to go because it's a made-up category. There isn't really a connection between the things being described as "bandwidth theft" -- it's just several unrelated things that someone doesn't like, thrown together and given a title. There's no reason to expect that there is a right title for this grouping of things.
It's as if someone created an article entitled "Sex theft" and put into it discussions of rape, adultery, copyright violation of pornography, and faking orgasm. Some of those are crimes; all of them have something to do with sex; but they don't belong to a category called "sex theft". It's just made up. --FOo 18:53, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Webmasters bitch about it, sometimes frequently and with great vigour, and I think it's notable. Is it illegal to link to an image on somebody else's web page? Good God, no, but theft the crime and theft the concept can be two different things. Lord Bob 19:24, September 12, 2005 (UTC)
    The action you're talking about is dealt with in our articles on deep linking and inline linking -- two neutral titles which describe the action rather than pretending that it's a crime. Slapping the mistaken term "theft" on top is just a bog-standard NPOV violation, since it assumes the point of view of people who think this action should be illegal. Moreover, what do you suggest be done with the bits of this article that deal with spam, malware, advertising itself, and other unrelated things that someone wants to call "theft"? --FOo 19:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    For one thing, I don't think the title is nearly as bad as you say...although I do see a problem, the term is the term in common usage. You want to move it, fine, but that's obviously not an AfD matter. And if non-bandwidth-theft related content is in there, then my suggestion would be to take it out (or, if it's content that's only bandwidth-theft-related to a small group, mention it in a little section). Be bold and so forth! That said...and here's the part you're going to like because I admit my ignorance...I wasn't aware of inline linking and deep linking. Oops. So I change my vote to merge to inline/deep linking and redirect to inline linking, which from my experience is the more common usage. Lord Bob 23:43, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

*Keep. it's a lousy article, but the term has Google hits well into six figures.

  • Well, since the title "bandwidth theft" is an NPOV violation, how would you feel about changing this to a redirect to inline linking, the neutral title for the subject of that page? This assumes, of course, that the spam, malware, and advertising sections are not worth considering. --FOo 19:54, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
It's a commonly used term, maybe the most commonly used term. It definitely refers to a different concept than inline linking. It's not an NPOV violation to describe the way the term is used. And with 150,000+ Google hits, it shouldn't be ignored. Monicasdude 16:24, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep Article has some major problems, but it should not be deleted. It needs re-writing though. -- BMIComp (talk, HOWS MY DRIVING) 21:18, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    I'm curious, what sort of rewriting do you think would be necessary to fix the major problems? How could the article compensate for the inherent NPOV violation of the title, which accuses people of a (nonexistent) crime? Should the unrelated accusations against Web advertisers be kept? The suggestion of a connection to spam and malware? --FOo 22:37, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep But consider turning into a disambig that takes people to the pages on various issues that are known by this term rather than an article in its own right. Plugwash 21:23, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong keep. The article doesn't claim this to be theft in any legal sense. It's a term in very common usage, but which many less knowledgable computer users don't understand.

There're some pretty interesting changes in the field of computer networking compared to conventional protocols, and those who're familiar in the field will recognize those are very much real. The article now contains a good deal more information than the brief overview also. I must comment on that it would be hard to find it on google because the project have been publicly closed until recently, but with the bsd implementation of the stack that is on the way, I believe that's going to change. Tempus0 01:16, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: It may change. When and if it does, that would be an appropriate time to create this page. Again, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. Also, it's helpful if you sign your comments by entering four tildes (~~~~). Bunchofgrapes 23:57, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Reply: The "not a crystal ball" section you're refering to have nothing to do with this article, however I understand that it may fall under the "no original research". Depends on how you look at it, because it can also be considered a practial application scheme. But research should have referances to reputable publications, which this one lack. The project leader was publishing some papers on this, so I'll find out which magazines that was and add it. Tempus0 01:17, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Reply: I place this in the Crytal Ball category because you seem to be asserting that this topic is going to become notable (shortly?) in the future. It is not notable now, except perhaps as notable original research. It is also a little hard for me to believe that a proposal for a Networking Address Scheme would not have a large number of google hits before it came into wide or even limited real-world use. My opinion (which I could be argued out of, perhaps) is that a network scheme described in research magazines but not even moderately deployed in actuality would not be notable. Bunchofgrapes 03:40, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
        • Reply: I agree that this article may be a bit "early". When some articles have been published, the implementation is available for public development and testing, and I hear there's also a Internet-draft on its way, then someone else might take the time to write an article again here.

  • Delete per WP:NOT crystal ball, WP:V. Barno 01:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. This is either a hoax, a joke, or someone's OR. There is absolutely no way that a serious or legitimate proposal to redo a Layer 3 addressing scheme can exist in a total vacuum. Where's the RFC? Where's the IETF Working Group? Where is any evidence whatsoever of any publication of this in a journal? Proceedings of a conference? Even a BOF session at a user group? Not even a single Usenet posting??? I am familiar with how network standards and protocols are developed, promulgated, and adopted, and it is inconceivable that something could be described at this stage and there be absolutely no record of it in the entire Internet standards & protocols community. Plus, there are fewer than 10 unique Google hits on the protocol's alleged designer (or a person or persons with the same name), none of which refer to any networking or protocol design activties. [User:MCB|MCB]] 06:11, 14 September 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: It have already been pointed out that the protocol is under development, which do explain the lack of documentation. So, yes, it's original research so it doesn't belong here. That matter has been resolved. But since you claim to be familiar with protocol development, you probably know that layer 3 protocols like IPv4, IPX and XNS had years in closed research / developement before they became widely used / standarized. What you seem to have described in your post is the process to adapted a widely used protocol to a network standard, which is something years ahead of a protocol still in development. Tempus0 18:09, 18 September 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, no. IPX and XNS are not good examples, because they were originally designed as proprietary protocols designed to provide commercial advantage, and were kept secret (in fact, trade secret) during development. IPv4, on the other hand, was not "closed R&D" by any means, and was widely discussed in the network community before its deployment on ARPANET. The Lillehovde protocol, on the other hand, while it may not be entirely imaginary, does not by any means appear to have any independent or verifiable existence. I mean, many of us have sketched out protocols or meta-protocols on whiteboards to solve particular problems; perhaps even written code stubs to handle them on top of a lower layer. That does not really signify anything. One of the very odd and suspicious things about the article is that neither Lars Lillehovde nor his institution (company? university? laboratory?) is identified. Unless a project is proprietary or a trade secret, it strains my credulity that there is no mention of it in any form whatsoever other than the article itself, even though we have access to essentially every web page, Usenet group, conference proceeedings, or mailing list in existence. In 2005, the world just does not work that way. Perhaps you could give some details about Mr. Lillehovde, his institution, and about yourself and your affiliation as well? -- MCB 23:03, 18 September 2005 (UTC)

Keep. I was very glad to find this article on the Wikipedia the other day, since I had been looking for a free GIS program. Trying to find something like that using Google had proved to be nearly impossible. I agree that the article needs work. I've now downloaded the program but not installed it. After I've installed it, I should be able to improve the article. Note: The article has been wikified by me, and there have been two other editors besides the original anon, so David Wahler is incorrect when he states that there are no outside links and no contributors. BlankVerse ∅ 21:04, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
Sorry, I should have been more clear; I meant that there were no links from other articles, and that there were no contributions of new content.

[edit] Jeff Merkey

A resume in an encyclopedia. Molotov (talk) 22:04, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. However Mr Merkey is a controversial figure in the Linux and OSS community by way of his own actions and perhaps a page is justifiable. Mr Merkey does not handle criticism well and keeps changing the page to reflect his own narrow viewpoint. Unfortunately there are many within the community that Mr Merkey has angered that enjoy poking him to get a reaction, consequently we are getting a wildly erratic entry based on who had the last edit. Written by Fava

    • Comment Let him get mad. Molotov (talk) 22:24, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

As much as I like the 'Poke Jeff With A Stick' game, this really has no place in an encyclopedia. Jerryg 23:08, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

As Fava notes, Merkey is a well-known public figure - I think that alone warrants keeping the page. Poking him with a stick doesn't belong here but a record of his public acts and comments DOES belong in an encylopaedia. (TWP)

  • Weak Delete - To me, the entire history just looks like one vandalisation versus another one. Because of this, I have no idea what is actually true and what is false, this makes it a useless wiki article. And what sort of notability is there? I've gone for delete, because he doesn't seem that notable, but if someone could do a complete rewrite and establish what is true in the article, then I'd go keep. - Hahnchen 23:33, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

I started the Jeff_Merkey wiki and I've tried to keep what I wrote factual. Merkey is a minor player in the whole SCOX vs World+dog lawsuit circus but he has done and said some very interesting things. I envision the wiki as just a container pointing to the various things he has said online. FYI I didn't have my jeff_v_wookie ID when I started, but I did this so my edits would be tagged as mine.

Go ahead and let the Jeff_Merkey wiki die, but Jeffrey_Vernon_Merkey should continue ...

This article is simply an attempt to harrass and google spam me with wikipedia. The links posted in previous versions contain libel, statements and emails I did not author which are attributed to me, and copyrighted materials and materials which are currently sealed under a Federal Court Order. The version of this story which is present under Jeff_Merkey is accurate and I approve of this content should wikipedia choose to keep it. Please do not allow others to post links to external content or copyrighted materials. End of JMERKEY:


The Merkey "approved" pages are compleatly meaningless because it doesnt address the issues that would make the entry significant. That is his attempts to buy the linux kernel and his threats of lawsuits against those in the community who disagreeing with him. His (removed) legal threat against this forum is just another example of why this is important. I think that the community CAN create a NPOV entry that sticks to the known facts, however as long as Merky keeps reverting the page to his prefered version the community will continue to react in kind.

Mr. Merkey, you seem to have a peculiar view of what an encyclopedia is. An article about a person doesn't require that person's approval. It's doubtful that George W. Bush, Michael Jackson, or Osama bin Laden approved articles about themselves. Please familiarize yourself with Wikipedia guidelines on autobiography and verifiability, and edit war. If you feel that there are errors in an article, you can present alternate points of view instead of engaging in vandalism. Exabit 03:35, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

Jeff seems intent on abusing wikipedia for his own ends, and he's bringing his obnoxious lawsuit threats (which are part of why he's notable) to wikipedia.

  • In this condition: weak keep, if cleaned up: strong keep. Jeff Merkey is actually quite an interesting person. His role in SCO vs. reality deserves some attention. There is a lack of NPOV information about him in the internet. One reason to delete this entry might be his behavior. Wikimedia Foundation has better things to do than to reply to lawsuits from Jeff Merkey once he discovers his wikipedia entry. -- 84.176.181.81 10:30, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. This entry could never be objective and hence has no place in wikipedia.

Well Jeff has publicaly announced on his website that he intends to sue wikipedia (You might want to read it quickly, articles on his site tend to come and go very quickly). This is standard practice for Jeff, anyone who criticizes him will be threatened with a suit at some time. Most of the time its just an empty threat. Fava 16:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

There's a mirror of the removed post at [11] and the one that replaced it at [12].

Unfortunately the wikipedia has become embroiled in the tail end of a long running dispute between Jeff Merkey and everyone.

The controversy began with a post by Merkey to the Linux Kernel mailing list in which he offered $50,000 for a snapshot of the kernel to be re-licensed under the BSD license. Currently the Kernel is licensed under the GPL, this allows people to use and change the software but the changes must be public and also licensed under the GPL. The BSD license does not require that the software remains open and public and kernel snapshot could be exploited for commercial purposed without changes being given back to the community that created it. So say that this proposal caused discussion and controversy would be an understatement. Much abuse was directed at Jeff as a result of this proposal and it was almost universally rejected by the community.

As a result of this proposal some people began digging. One thing that was found was legal documents between Timpanogos Research Group (Merkeys company) and Novell (Merkeys former employer). Novell alleged misappropriation of trade secrets and Merkey alleged sexual harassment. Novell requested a temporary injunction against Merkey that was granted. The text of the injunction is extremely critical of Merkey, paragraphs 112-125 are particularly damming. Merkey then began to threaten anyone who hosted or discussed the ruling. He argued that the Judge was a Novell stooge and that the ruling was a preliminary one and that he was completely vindicated in the final sealed settlement agreement.

On Jun 21 Merkey filed suit against a few named individuals and 200 ”John Does”. As part of the filing he included the sealed final ruling between himself and Novell. Due to a filing error the sealed document was publicly available for a short period. The settlement agreement did not vindicate Merkey as previously claimed. Within a few hours of the inadvertent release of the document it was being mirrored all over the internet and was being widely discusses.

Merkey began to threaten those who hosted and discussed the settlement agreement and he soon filed an amended complaint that named those individuals and websites.

Some highlights of the Amended complaint.

  • He has alleged a broad range of first amendment, torturous interference, identity theft, and hate crimes.
  • Bruce Perens suggested in a public posting that Merkey be added to each users killfile. Merkey accused him of making death threats.
  • He has accused the linux community of aiding and sponsoring terrorism.
  • And much more.

Merky has continued his complaint of abuse and threats against anyone who is critical of him. The 2 deleted entries on this page are good examples of this. This is the most basic of background information, a proper summary would be many pages. Fava 18:52, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

  • I have not seen the article yet, so I can't comment on the specific article's merit but I believe it is highly likely that an article on Jeff Merkey would meet our notability criteria from many angles. He has been discussed in the national media, and has caused at least a much noise as any infamous internet personality though at least some portion of it is limited to the Linux related community. On the flip side, I think we will have a very difficult time producing a good article about him that merkey will agree with, because there are some very solid references which say some very negative things about him. I strongly disagree with the above delete view that the article couldn't be objective... Unlike sollog Merkey doesn't really have followers, and he is also not completely unreasonable. If we can write an acceptable article on any internet personality we can write one on Merkey. My position should be cosidered a keep because deleting the specific text will not help the stability problems we've had with this notable subject. --Gmaxwell 22:33, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

I feel that it is possible to write a neutral piece about the subject "Jeff V. Merkey". It is unlikely that the result will please Jeff, but at the same time, it won't be the piece that his main distractors like to see. The person of Jeff and his actions are interesting enough to warrant an entry in Wikipedia, I suggest to keep Jeffrey_Vernon_Merkey. --213.84.14.16 10:41, 14 September 2005 (UTC) MathFox

  • Keep - highly notable in the SCO Vs Linux litigation. He's somewhere between a nutter and a troll (including legal trolling), but that doesn't affect whether he warrants an article. Read older articles on Groklaw (he's not mentioned in current ones precisely because he's suing them now) and you'll see why. I urge all delete voters whateverit'scallednows to read, learn and reconsider. Might merge with the full name article, or merge that one with this one - he's more commonly known as "Jeff Merkey" - David Gerard 06:01, 21 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Exo-cuisine

Transwiki to Wiktionary and delete. User:Zoe|(talk) 22:15, September 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • "In this context", it says, but offers no context, so makes no sense. Don't Transwiki, but delete anyway. TheMadBaron 23:14, 12 September 2005 (UTC)
  • I think the writer intended to mean that exo-cuisine is food that one offers to guests. Perhaps someone with access to a good anthropology text could fix this up. Crypticfirefly 00:15, 13 September 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was MERGE ALL to Address Unknown (television series). I'm going to do this by adding the single-sentence synopses to the target article under a new section heading, removing the then-redundant wikilinks and adding links to the Wikiquotes entries in the same new section. This is all purely editorial, so someone who knows a better way to do this is welcome to do better. -Splashtalk 16:56, 24 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Address Unknown: Episode 6

Episode 6 has a more thorough explanation and description in the main Address Unknown article, the additional article is unnecessary.

  • Merge with Address Unknown (television series) and do the same to the other episodes. And make sure the section saying: "The scripts of all six episodes included in Max Payne 2 can be found below." is removed. We don't need scripts of tv shows, especially not fictional ones. - Mgm|(talk) 09:57, 13 September 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment There is more:

Address Unknown: Episode 1 Address Unknown: Episode 2 Address Unknown: Episode 3 Address Unknown: Episode 4 Address Unknown: Episode 5 Address Unknown: Episode 6 If we vote on one we should vote on all. -Ajshm 08:14, 14 September 2005 (UTC) Adress Unknown is a very important part of the Max Payne series. If you really are considering deleting the scripts, then why not delete any mention of the game series or all video games. You should just leave this page be. There is no need for deletion.
