*[[C. J. Everon]] and [[Justice Better Attained]] seem to be a self-promotion for an obscure author and their book. - [[User:SimonP|SimonP]] 00:29, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:VfD-AberSeeSaw&action=edit add to this deletion debate]
**Keep. Seems to be self-promotion for an obscure author and eir book. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 00:39, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
***Let me clarify. The author exists. The book exists. Obscurity is not a valid reason for deletion. Self-promotion, which may or may not be true, is also not a valid reason for deletion, and it can be fixed. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 04:30, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Del. --[[User:Wik|Wik]] 00:49, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. Anthony, your comments are ridiculous. [[User:RickK|RickK]] 00:58, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
***This listing is ridiculous. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 01:19, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
****Hell, this page is ridiculous. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 01:20, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. I don't know if it's self-promotion or not, but the author and her book plainly do exist. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 01:26, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**The author and her book do exist, but so do a few million other authors. The book is in no Canadian libraries and there are no links to the author other than Wikipedia. I also can find no sign that the awards cited exist, nor the Scottish society that is meant to have given one of them. - [[User:SimonP|SimonP]] 01:39, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
** Delete: personal promotion. Promotion of unremarkable authors & their books is what Amazon.com is for. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 18:42, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Merge both to higher-level pages -- '''if''' someone can verify this book exists. I can't find it via an ISBN-tracking site. CJE can prolly just be listed on the page of "Canadians", (already there!); but note that CJE or whoever created that article has contributed a lot to WP and isn't just a self-promoter. Still, neither of these needs its own page yet.
*** The existence of this book remains to be established. Neither amazon.com nor isbn.nu have heard of it. The one reference that I can find on the web is [http://www.nlc-bnc.ca/forthbks/2002-08/en/ec810.htm "Forthcoming Books, August 2002"], which states the ISBN 0-9730907-0-7 and publisher Éditions Touraine of Elliot Lake, Ontario. I can't find the publisher either; I'm guessing it's a vanity press. If the book does exist, it is quite obscure, and does not merit inclusion. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 14:28, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[cybermedicine]] - bad dictionary definition [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 00:34, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Transwiki - bad dictionary definition.
**Delete - very bad definition and an appropriate article for this would have a different title - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 03:07, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. I initially thought it was garbage but googling on "Cybermedicine" has convinced me that the word exists and refers to practicing medicine over the Internet&mdash;that is, remotely from the patient and via the intermediary of a communications network. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith]] 03:33, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. This should be in cleanup, not VfD. [[User:Darkcore|Darkcore]] 06:04, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
** Keep. Valid encyclopedia topic. But article should be expanded. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 10:45, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)


====[[Ben Wilson]]====
*[[Accad]] - contains "See "Babel's in Arms" by David Ives.". Google turns up nothing useful. --[[User:Nate Silva|Nate Silva]] 00:44, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

**Delete - agree with nominator (text added so my vote gets counted) - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 03:10, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
** Delete. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 10:45, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep as a redirect to [[Akkad]]. [[User:Lupo|Lupo]] 07:53, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)


{{tl|VfD-BenWilson}}
*[[MediaWiki:Dih]]. Now obsolete as <nowiki>[[Mediawiki:{{CURRENTMONTHNAME}} {{CURRENTDAY}} selected anniversaries]]</nowiki> is used instead. [[User:Angela|Angela]][[user talk:Angela|.]] 02:28, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
**Keep for historical purposes. [[User:Perl|Perl]] 16:08, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**delete in the name of good housekeeping. might confuse people. --[[User:Jiang|Jia]][[User talk:Jiang|'''ng''']]
**Delete. It was even a bad, non-descriptive name. [[User:Sverdrup|&mdash; Sverdrup]] [[User talk:Sverdrup|(talk)]] 08:42, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)


====[[Metarmorphosis]]====
*[[Reach-around]] - Extremely POV. Once the POV is gone, what is left? Also, this is not part of regular baseball lingo. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 02:37, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

**Oh, it's about basketball! Phew ;). Keep. [[User:Raul654|&rarr;Raul654]] 02:42, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
***Er....the article is written about baseball. [[User:Kingturtle|Kingturtle]] 01:35, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Comment. None of the top 20 hits from a Yahoo search for ''"reach around" -clown -wrestling -clowns'' refers to the baseball usage of this term. At best, this would probably end up as a disambig page. On the otherhand, maybe that would be a good thing--since the term seems to pop up in so many contexts, if the article is deleted it's likely to keep getting recreated. [[User:Niteowlneils|Niteowlneils]] 22:20, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. But, should be an disambig page because it is used in more than one sport and has a definite sexual meaning, too. [[User:Davodd|Davodd]] 09:26, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)

* [[Gundam Seed Episode 1]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 2]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 3]], (Gundam Seed Episode 4 listed on February 28), [[Gundam Seed Episode 5]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 6]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 7]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 8]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 9]], [[Gundam Seed Episode 10]], [[Gundam Seed Episodes 1-5]], [[Gundam Seed Episodes 6-10]] -- plot summaries of an anime called "Gundam Seed", which appear to have been copied from fan sites [http://www.gundams.net/index.php?page=seed_e] and [http://www.mahq.net]. Unencyclopedic. -- [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 05:52, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**An encyclopedia is a written compendium of human knowledge. It seems this qualifies. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 06:01, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. -- [[User:WormRunner|WormRunner]] 06:05, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**As is, delete due to copyvio. Secondly, even if (and it's a big if) someone wanted to do episode synopses for this show (which there is precedent for - see Star Trek: The Next Generation and The Simpsons), they should be under the episode name (e.g., "A False Peace," "They Call It, Gundam," "Collapsing Land," etc. as opposed to Episodes 1, 2 and 3). But, on a completely unrelated note: Gundam Seed - blech! :P [[User:RadicalBender|RadicalBender]] 06:15, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
***We have a separate page for copyright violations. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 15:43, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**** I'm quite aware of that. You'll notice that I didn't argue these articles should be deleted for being copyvios. I'm arguing that WP is not a dumpster. [[User:Wile E. Heresiarch|Wile E. Heresiarch]] 16:22, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep, agree w Andrewa. [[User:Sam Spade|Sam Spade]] 08:37, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. Looks like copies from the fan sites. Why duplicate the text here, besides probable copyvio. Unless someone is going to re-write it from scratch as well as rename the articles according to what RadicalBender said. [[User:RedWolf|RedWolf]] 08:46, Feb 29, 2004 (UTC)
***Asssuming it is not a copyright violation, having this text would be a perfect starting point for an article. Whether or not it's a copyright violation is supposed to be determined on another page, frequented by people who know about that kind of thing. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 15:43, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 10:45, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. No case has been made for deletion. A weak case has been made for renaming, weak because it seems that those making the case have little interest themselves in the subject matter, but neither of these is a valid reason for deletion. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 15:06, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***Soo...because I hate the show I have no point then? I see. Here, look at it this way: which of the following links works: [[Star Trek: The Next Generation Episode 1]] or [[Encounter at Farpoint]], or perhaps [[The Simpsons Episode 2]] or [[Bart the Genius]]. There's the case: precedent. Either way, it's a moot point because I'm about to list all this at copyvio which is what it actually is. [[User:RadicalBender|RadicalBender]] 16:13, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)

*[[UN Resolution 687]] - wiksource if not turned into article in 5 days. --[[User:Jiang|Jia]][[User talk:Jiang|'''ng''']] 06:02, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:VfD-WestonLullingfields&action=edit add to this deletion debate]
** Agree with the above. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 10:45, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
** The resolution's text should go to [[Wikisource]]. I wrote a very very small sub-sub-stub to encourage other people write more. [[User:Optim|Optim]] 18:38, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

*[[List of cities in San Marino]] - the list of cities is already in the [[San Marino]] article. [[User:Darkcore|Darkcore]] 08:19, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Redirect instead. [[User:Muriel Gottrop|Muriel]] 08:27, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
** Redirect. [[User:Elf-friend|Elf-friend]] 10:45, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. Redirect is pointless. Searches will find the base article anyway. [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 11:01, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep as a redirect since it prevents future duplication of the article. [[User:Optim|Optim]] 18:32, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
***Comment: That's true, but is it likely? [[User:Andrewa|Andrewa]] 15:14, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Keep (revert redirection), and remove the list from the [[San Marino]] article. This is part of a series of [[List of city listings by country|city listings by country]], and a reader clicking a link from that article expects to arraive at a list of cities, not at the article about the country. [[User:Uriber|-- uriber]] 17:59, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Keep for the above reason. [[User:Sverdrup|&mdash; Sverdrup]] [[User talk:Sverdrup|(talk)]] 20:57, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. The information is duplicated in the main [[San Marino]] article, not to mention that the article name looks ridiculous to non-USans - the total population of the whole of San Marino is less than 28,000, so the article would be better named [[List of villages in San Marino]]! -- [[User:Arwel Parry|Arwel]] 23:44, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***Yep. You must be right. Because Wikipedia is an Amerocentric encyclopedia, I understand that we others have no vote. [[User:Sverdrup|&mdash; Sverdrup]] [[User talk:Sverdrup|(talk)]] 08:07, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)

**Keep. It's not obscure at all. [[User:Darkcore|Darkcore]] 04:47, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. Boyer's refusal to comply with Wikipedia rules is moving his behaviour towards trollish. Everytime I've spent several hours doing background research into his articles of this sort I've come up with nothing to back him up, it's just not worth my time anymore. --[[User:Imran|Imran]] 23:25, 1 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***What rules have I refused to comply with? --[[User:Daniel C. Boyer|Daniel C. Boyer]] 18:39, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Delete - How many makes of "yes-no-pens" (with that name) are there? Is this a one shot toy that was never produced again? How do coins qualify as a "yes-no-pen"? (That alone decides it for me.) - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 15:45, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***I don't know how many makes of "yes-no" pens there are, but you will find these (accompanying the special books they are designed to be used with) in almost any hospital gift-shop, discount store, large grocery store, &c. They are very far from being uncommon. Plus, if you'll carefully read the article, you will see that it in no way describes coins as being "yes-no" pens. --[[User:Daniel C. Boyer|Daniel C. Boyer]] 18:39, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
****If you read the article carefully and you will find "''Another classical "yes-no" fortune telling method is the use of coins. ''" My point being that the article is whimsy. - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 18:46, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***The bit about coins was added by another editor fairly recently. Daniel C. Boyer is not the author... -- [[User:Cyan|Cyan]] 19:00, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
****I was never talking about whatever portion he wrote. I am talking about the article at the time it was nominated for deletion - [[User:Texture|Texture]] 02:17, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
** Keep. I can vouch for the existence and prevalence of the item in question; yes-no game books were how my parents kept me happy on long car trips when I was a kid. -- [[User:Cyan|Cyan]] 19:00, 2 Mar 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. - [[User:DropDeadGorgias|DropDeadGorgias]] [[User_talk:DropDeadGorgias|(talk)]] 19:13, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)
** Keep, now a valid disambiguation page (though maybe a redirect would work too). Like Cyan, I used one of these as a kid. Seemed a popular class of educational toy. [[User:MyRedDice|Martin]] 19:39, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

**Delete after merging the content with [[David Beckham]]. [[User:Optim|Optim]] 19:42, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Delete. The reason why someone is famous shouldn't be of our concern, only that they are. However, article is almost empty, so delete. [[User:Maroux|Maroux]] 20:38, 2004 Feb 29 (UTC)
**Delete unless someone can add some information to it that wouldn't be better stated on [[David Beckham]]. [[User:Everyking|Everyking]] 20:58, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)
**Keep. Like it or not, the Beckhams feature a lot in British media and culture. You can be sure that in years to come, this page will get larger and larger.

====[[Richard Genovese]]====
- was previously listed, got 2/3 majority to delete, was not deleted. I'll list it again until it is either deleted or there is a fixed definition of the criteria for deletion. It is absurd that any sysop can decide "2/3 is not a good enough consensus for me" and remove it from here without deleting it. --[[User:Wik|Wik]] 16:33, Mar 3, 2004 (UTC)
**Keep but blank until it is proven that there is a such person. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 16:48, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
***This is ridiculous. There are references provided on the page, and previous versions of the page show a great many more references. Other than the references provided, which you can certainly look up, what kind of &quot;proof&quot; are you looking for? --[[User:Daniel C. Boyer|Daniel C. Boyer]] 16:58, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
****Who's Who has doubtful credibility in my mind. And I'm not even sure what edition is being referred to. Is it claimed that he's in '''every''' edition since 1982? The parfaite reference is written by you. That's original research, and isn't credible enough. The arte.net link doesn't even work, but doesn't seem credible. Exhibition catalogue is hosted on a free home page. Not credible at all. If the Who's Who reference turns out to be real, and it turns out to be a respected source, then I'd recommend that this be restored. But until then or some other verification comes along, I don't think this belongs in Wikipedia. Anyway, that's my suggestion, you don't have to like it. But if you're intending your comment as a keep vote please be specific so Wik doesn't bring this back here yet again. [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 17:08, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
*****The ''Par*faite'' reference is not "written by me" in the sense that I am a contributor to ''Par*faite'' as is Genovese but I am not the editor. To describe as "original research" the fact that two men contributed to the same magazine is as bizarre a distortion of language as I've probably ever seen. The same thing could be said about [http://www.uplandtrout.co.uk/GenoveseMain.html the Richard Genovese page on Upland Trout], for example; Genovese contributed to Upland Trout and so did I and so did a number of others -- is Upland Trout thus my "original research"? If you think that an exhibition catalogue resides solely online it is just another characteristic of the recurrent problem I've seen in Wikipedia, that no matter what they say, people ignore offline sources, and demand that the "confirmation" for the existence of everything (which they demand in extravagant profusion when the topic is one they don't like) is their oracle, Google. Google can be helpful, but when it becomes the be-all and end-all, and Wikipedia is transformed into an eyclopedic rehash of information available through a Google search, the very value of Wikipedia comes into question. I am not hinting at a "keep" vote, by the way, just making some points. --[[User:Daniel C. Boyer|Daniel C. Boyer]] 17:42, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)
******My apologies on Par*faite. I thought it was written solely by you. If it's available in print that's news to me, I have no idea where I could get it. You didn't answer my question abobut the Who's Who edition. I'd love to verify this, but I don't really have anything to go on. If Par*faite is available in print, where can I get it? I assume I could get a copy of Who's Who, but I'm not clear on the edition (and I might not be able to get 1982). [[User:Anthony DiPierro|Anthony DiPierro]] 17:52, 3 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Apologies, was not logged in.

I do not expect you to understand the importance a mutable archive of Mudgik would provide the Mudgik community. The remark is blunderous; importance is relative.

It is not a [[website]] it was a [[MUD]].

It exists today in two forms (I am still researching them).

This page contains the page history of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion from 22:22, 15 May 2002 (UTC) to 06:24, 28 May 2004 (UTC).

This is an archived copy of VfD. Please see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion for the current active version.

If you want to nominate an article for deletion, please read this carefully first.

If the latest nominations appear to be missing from this page, please purge the cache.

Articles for Deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians decide what should be done with an article. Items sent here usually wait seven days or so; afterward the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:

More information.

Things to consider:

  • It is important to read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy which states which problems form valid grounds for deletion before adding comments to this page.
  • Use the "what links here" link which appears in the sidebar of the actual article page, to get a sense how the page is being used and referenced within Wikipedia.
  • Please familiarize yourself with some frequently cited guidelines, in particular WP:BIO, WP:FICT, WP:MUSIC and WP:COI.

AfD etiquette:

  • Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
  • Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~.
  • If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
  • Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith.
  • Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.

You can add each AFD subpage day to your watchlist by clicking this link: Add today's AFD to watchlist

Guff was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was delete

Dictdef for foreign language. Possible candidate to move to Wiktionary. →Iñgólemo← (talk) 07:49, 2004 Dec 5 (UTC)

  • Delete: Extremely suspicious dictdef: "Guff" is a common AmEng word for "sass, disrespectful speech," and the citation in this article is to Madame Blavatsky's group. Geogre 15:17, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete In English, guff means nonsense, which describes this article. Wyss 18:49, 5 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • No Preference Guff is English. It comes from the Hebrew language as most english words originate from other languages. The description is accurate for English, but as mentioned above, perhaps does not cover all the ways the word is used. In "Madame Blavatsky's group" and quite possibly other groups, this is the meaning of the word. Knightt 19:21, 9 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Similar to Wan Ling Record. This was contributed by a user who was only around for one day and added only quotes. This article consists entirely of, not surprisingly, a series of quotes. - Nat Krause 14:18, 24 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. It's a name of some Buddhist text [1] and this looks like a collection of quotes from it. I would be glad if Wikipedia had articles about Buddhist texts but they should be in encyclopedic style. Not collections of quotes without any explanation. Andris 14:52, May 24, 2004 (UTC)

Text copied from front page of the site (Alexa rank of 127,106) which is the subject of this page. I'm uncertain whether the site is notable enough to have an article, but the current content is just an ad. — A.M. 18:30, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Advertisement for website. Also now listed as a copyvio, but that's irrelevant if we delete it anyway. No evidence that the site is encyclopedic, although it appears to be well done at first glance IMO. Andrewa 20:23, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Flashback to May: deleted 3-0. The previous version of the page is apparently no longer in the undelete database, so I can't say that it is a repost of the same material (which would make it a speedy). No vote. --rbrwr± 14:43, 12 Dec 2004 (UTC)

David Pearce was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep the article.

I know that this article has been listed on VFD twice already, but you guys need to understand what is going on with this article:

This article is obvious googlebombing with the links, each "article" is really a link to one of the many thousands of domains this guy owns. These links are also found in many other related articles. Im sure David Pierce or an associate himself has been adding most of these links.

This guy owns these domain names: http://www.hedweb.com/paradise.html

By owning such a gigantic amount of cross linking domain names, his websites dominate many drug searches on google. David Pearce thus then might be notable enough for these facts, but these facts were removed from the article.


edit by the guy who put this on vfd:

Don't believe this guy is notable because of articles or interviews mentioned here, notice that most of those are hosted on his own websites so they are questionable. He might very well be notable for the gigantic amount of domain names he owns, all with some form of original content on them, which tend to dominate many search results, especially for obscure drugs. The problem is however, it is very likely him or a friend who created this article, or added the links to it, so its always a very potentially dangerous article.

  • David Pearce is a British visionary...bwhuaahaa...oh vanity alright. Delete. Wyllium 19:58, 2004 Nov 13 (UTC)
  • Delete or edit down to stubbitude. --jpgordon{gab} 19:11, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • As it is, it's nothing but a link farm. Delete. DS 19:30, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. silsor 19:41, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Promotional. Slightly off-topic, but people might want to take a look at Talk:American World University#Handling promotional links. I'm suggesting that whenever someone has qualms about the promotional effect of a link but wish to preserve it as a service to readers, that it be replaced with a substitute from tinyurl or similar services. To my surprise, this is a controversial suggestion, but I'd like to explore it further or see whether others have better ideas. [[User:Dpbsmith|Dpbsmith (talk)]] 19:57, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: Hooooooo boy those are some links! Putting nowiki in front of all of them works well, and while the article is on VfD, we're supposed to do that anyway. I'd almost have seen this speedied for patent nonsense. He wants to "abolish the chemical substrates of suffering?" What? I suffer, but I'm not sure it's on a chemical substratum level. Geogre 20:08, 13 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • "the abolition of the chemical substrates of suffering in all sentient life.". Um, okay. Even if we got rid of the excessive links, this language itself makes it delete-worthy. Delete. RickK 20:58, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vanity, Promo --Improv 15:38, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: vanity, promo. Wile E. Heresiarch 04:50, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Since Pearce is obviously a notable figure, the most sensible thing to do would be to shorten the bibliography section and delete all its links, which I have done. Loremaster 20:09, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
    • What is your evidence supporting the judgement "obviously a notable figure"? I'll admit that I don't see it and consider this currently a delete candidate. Rossami (talk) 06:02, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • As a leading figure in a movement that is getting increasing media, academic and political attention, Pearce should have an article. And, since the controversial content has been edited out of the article, this dispute is now moot. Loremaster 16:59, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
      • I'm not sure if I would call Pearce a "obviously notable figure", but his major work, The Hedonistic Imperative, is well-known within transhumanist communities. -- Schaefer 20:49, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Yes, this was quite likely created as a vanity page, but if the links can be kept off, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll admit that his only well-known writing is The Hedonistic Imperative, so while there's no profound need for a page just about him, the page has been edited to the point where it's no longer just blatant self-promotion. -- Schaefer 20:36, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. If this was created as a vanity page, it was not done by David Pearce or his associates - I know this fact personally. Some people are quick to play down the notability of others for obvious reasons. Given that there is no such thing as an unbiased attribution of value or notability - we should instead thank this fellow for his pioneering and visionary work. Ask yourselves if the abolition of suffering is more important than one's contribution to an impossibly "unbiased" collection, life is short.Sean Henderson 22:20, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Note that Sean Henderson is the name of one of David Pearce's associates (as mentioned in the article)67.180.61.179 02:01, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. While I find a great deal to dispute with the man and most of the Transhumanist movement I think at least from with in the movement his works are discussed and he's moderately well known. Notable? I hope not, but I wouldn't make that judgment for anyone else. —Florescentbulb 02:56, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

World Transhumanist Association was proposed for deletion. This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was to keep the article.

If David Pearce gets vfd'd, his organization ought to get put up for a vote as well. --DMG413 15:30, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)

  • KEEP. This organization has been getting some significant attention due to the public interest in, and press coverage of, transhumanism. Let's not get carried away due to the problems with the David Pierce article. Loremaster 16:01, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • I'd rather not delete it for guilt by association, but what does this article actually say? It says, "WTA was founded by X & Y. It's goals are good. See the following 6 links." Abstain, pending any indication of notability whatever for anything good (as opposed to infamy for being a spam factory). Geogre 19:42, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely notable. --Improv 20:04, 14 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I don't like that logic, we can't eliminate anything just because its creator is non-notable. - Lifefeed 21:12, Nov 15, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep for reasons stated by Loremaster. GRider 23:05, 15 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Pearce's notability is questionable, but I consider the co-founder Nick Bostrom notable and the WTA itself even more so. -- Schaefer 21:08, 16 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Definite keep. I would like to see some expansion though, maybe on the lines of what sets this transhumanist group apart or makes it unique among the others. Any takers? Inky 04:51, 17 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, and BAH! on Transhumanists. —Florescentbulb 03:59, 18 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete link repository. Might as well say North Valley Clown Alley was founded by Bongo the Clown and other clowns. They win awards. Everyone loves clowns. See the following 8 clown web pages. and y'all know I love clowns. Pedant 08:04, 2004 Nov 19 (UTC)
  • Keep, strongly disagree with Pedant's analogy here. Stop clowning around, deletionism is serious business. [[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 17:52, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - Trollminator 21:40, 19 Nov 2004 (UTC)

This page is an archive of the discussion surrounding the proposed deletion of the page entitled Vollis.

This page is kept as an historic record.

The result of the debate was to delete the article.


Vollis is a team game/sport, invented, first played and coined in 2002 AD. [...] Vollis is set to grow quite large in the near future and there is a distinct possibility that it could be an Olympic sport by 2012-2016. I can't find any references via google. Vollis doesn't seem to be notable enough for an article in wikipedia. Thue 14:25, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. The final claim that it may be an Olympic sport by 2012 is patent nonsense, and contributes to the impression that this is just a sport thought up by a bunch of kids, and that it hasn't spread much outside that group. Also, a search for the word 'vollis' on search engines produces large numbers of hits for a folk artist called Vollis Simpson, but nothing related to this game. Average Earthman 16:28, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • "2002 AD," no less. Delete as patent nonsense. - Lucky 6.9 18:45, 27 May 2004
  • Delete - Tεxτurε 19:13, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Looks like nonsense. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998 19:35, May 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Nonsense. Abigail 21:30, May 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it, even if the assumption is made that kids or some other people you wish to call unnotable invented it, how do you think sports that are played worldwide began? Isn't the Wikipedia a place for people to access any information of interest? If you can't find it on Google after idly clicking around, think of how difficult it would be for someone to find it out of genuine interest (rather than cynicism) without the Wikipedia article? Boutros Boutros
    • I just adore sockpuppets. They're so cute and cuddly. - Lucky 6.9 16:51, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • Just to answer the claim by a poster who has never posted anywhere else - apart from the fact that the majority of 'vanity' articles on Wikipedia are contributed by teenagers who appear to lack a proper sense of perspective, the utter obscurity of the game means it is not currently worthy including. As for 'if you can't find it on Google after idly clicking', I used both Google and Teoma, and found only articles about Vollis Simpson or pages in German which my admittedly abysmal grasp of German suggests to me are about some form of table football, one mention of the chairman of the President of the Pan-Macedonian Association, and one reference to US soldier with the surname 'Vollis'. Happy now? Average Earthman 17:44, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
    • Well well well, contempt for developing games, disregard for new users to web communities, dislike of teenagers.........Sounds to me like you have a touch of conservative elitism in you. Some people obviously feel uncomfortable when there's changes happening in the world that upset ideals of a concrete state of reality...Fair enough, you can't find the thing on Google, still I think this site's entire purpose is for information, or am I wrong? Boutros Boutros
      • Information, yes, but information about somewhat established stuff of generel interest, ie informative stuff. There is no indication that vollis has grown outside the group of teenagers who invented it. The problem is also that the information is not verifiable. Delete the article for now, but if vollis ever gets widespread we should have an article about it. Thue 09:15, 30 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. If it becomes widely known, we can recreate it, but it does not merit an article now. Andris 02:02, Jun 1, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. For verification see this News thread from 1994, or this google search. It seems it is not only a game but also a bicycle brand. Why don't you deletists work on verifiing these things instead of just listing stuff all the time. Boutros Boutross point is a very good one, even though it doesn't look like this term was coined in 2002....
    • No. I looked through google hits from your search (ones which were in English). There is exactly 1 hit about vollis game. The rest are mostly about people with first/last name being Vollis. 1 google hit does not justify inclusion. Andris 19:50, Jun 2, 2004 (UTC)

Either this is a real term presented poorly or it's the greatest piece of quackery I've ever seen here. Is there a physicist in the house? - Lucky 6.9 18:38, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

  • From what (little) physics I know I can't find any inaccuracies. I think it would be more appropriate to list this at Wikipedia:Pages_needing_attention. I have listed it there. Thue 18:56, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Real term poorly presented. Move to Clean-up. I'll try if/when I can find my old textbooks. Rossami 20:59, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Quantum phase transition" gets over 7000 google hits. Clicking on a few google hits suggest that the page isn't blatent nonsense. I don't know enough of quantum physics to know how accurate the information is - but since I lack the knowledge to judge the accuracy, I won't vote for delete. Abigail 21:04, May 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Real phenomenon. Not a good VfD listing IMO, we should be listing and voting on things we do know something about (as others have said more gently). There are other places for asking questions. As Wikipedia grows this becomes more and more important. Andrewa 21:09, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • In either case it doesn't belong on VfD. If it is a real term presented poorly, it is still clearly a encyclopedic topic and doesn't belong on VfD. On the other hand, if the person who posted the VfD request doesn't understand the topic well enough to determine if it is "quackery", it doesn't belong on VfD. Keep. ElBenevolente 21:16, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • That's perfectly OK with me. It's not that I didn't understand the topic. It was so badly written that I simply couldn't comprehend what I was reading. There was a patently nonsensical article here last week that was couched in pseudo-scientific mumbo-jumbo. I wasn't certain if this was the same sort of thing, hence my electing to bring it here. It's already on "pages needing attention," so by all means, keep. And let's try and keep the personal attacks to a minimum, OK? - Lucky 6.9 21:34, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - Mikkalai has revised the article. It's certainly more readable now, anyway. Average Earthman 17:48, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

The most ridiculous list of people I have seen here so far, as everyon not on List of people who commited suicide can be listed there. I was tempted to delete it by speedy deletion directly as being patent nonsense. andy 20:12, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

There's nothing in this article that actually means anything, and even what it appears to mean is too trivial to be worth mentioning. Tonusperegrinus 22:27, 27 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, was not logged in.

I do not expect you to understand the importance a mutable archive of Mudgik would provide the Mudgik community. The remark is blunderous; importance is relative.

It is not a website it was a MUD.

It exists today in two forms (I am still researching them).


For more MUDs that aren't 'that important' please see:

Is there going to be one of these for every Grand Slam in every year? By the end of the year, will there be four of these on the Serena Williams page with eighty names listed? At the end of five years, will there be twenty of them on her page? RickK 04:03, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

This section describes how to list articles and their associated talk pages for deletion. For pages that are not articles, list them at other appropriate deletion venues or use copyright violation where applicable. As well, note that deletion may not be needed for problems such as pages written in foreign languages, duplicate pages, and other cases. Use Wikipedia:Proposed mergers for discussion of mergers.

Only a registered, logged-in user can complete steps II and III. (Autoconfirmed registered users can also use the Twinkle tool to make nominations.) If you are unregistered, you should complete step I, note the justification for deletion on the article's talk page, then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else complete the process.

You must sign in to nominate pages for deletion. If you do not sign in, or you edit anonymously, you will get stuck part way through the nomination procedure.

I – Put the deletion tag on the article.
  • Insert {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article. Do not mark the edit as minor.
    If this article has been nominated before, use {{subst:afdx|2nd}} or {{subst:afdx|3rd}} etc.
  • Include in the edit summary AfD: Nominated for deletion; see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]. replacing NominationName with the name of the page being nominated. Publish the page.
    The NominationName is normally the article name (PageName), but if it has been nominated before, use "PageName (2nd nomination)" or "PageName (3rd nomination)" etc.)
II – Create the article's deletion discussion page.

The resulting AfD box at the top of the article should contain a link to "Preloaded debate" in the AfD page. Click that link to open the article's deletion discussion page for editing. Some text and instructions will appear.

You can do it manually as well:

  • Click the link saying "deletion discussion page" to open the deletion-debate page.
  • Insert this text:
    {{subst:afd2 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
    Replace PageName with the name of the page, Category with a letter from the list M, O, B, S, W, G, T, F, and P to categorize the debate, and Why the page should be deleted with the reasons the page should be deleted.
  • If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
  • Use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion for [[PageName]]. Publish the page.
III – Notify users who monitor AfD discussions.
  • Open the articles for deletion log page for editing.
  • At the top of the list on the log page (there's a comment indicating the spot), insert:{{subst:afd3 | pg=NominationName}}
    Replace NominationName appropriately (use "PageName", "PageName (2nd nomination)", etc.)
  • Link to the discussion page in your edit summary: Adding [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]. Publish the page.
  • Consider letting the authors know on their talk page by adding: {{subst:Afd notice|Page name}} ~~~~
    If this is not the first nomination, add a second parameter with the NominationName (use "PageName (2nd nomination)" etc.): {{subst:Afd notice|PageName|NominationName}} ~~~~
