March 21

Religious rights

  • Move to Wikisource, but not under this name. RickK | Talk 00:32, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Unattributed philosphical/religious writing, contributed by an anon. Andrewa 18:24, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge any useful text into Ijma and delete without redirect. The article is not about religious rights, but about ijmā', a process of Islamic jurisprudence. It is very POV though and needs verification of facts, etc. —Tkinias 01:48, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • I moved the text from this article to Talk:Ijma. Delete. Tkinias 04:36, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Nicotinist

  • Dicdef of a made up word. RickK | Talk 00:48, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. As RickK said. --Tagishsimon 01:43, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • delete. ditto reasons ike9898 02:43, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • keep. seems to be a term used by scandinavians. found this out researching addictions. Denni 06:54, 2004 Mar 21 (UTC)
    • This is the English Wikipedia. RickK | Talk 01:34, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary. Term is used by the English & Dutch (at least) as well. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:40, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, serious POV problem. In English, this is a tendentious coinage. Smerdis of Tlön 15:17, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Would you remove an article on junkie for the same reason? However, I would support Wile's proposal, because a websearch shows it is common in English usage. Denni 02:30, 2004 Mar 27 (UTC)
  • Delete. Taku 23:48, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, agree with RickK. PMC 04:33, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary. Tendentious or not, it is a word (and Scandinavians speak a whole lot of English, so geographically localized use does not mean non-English) —Tkinias 04:39, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Michael pennington

  • Two Google hits. RickK | Talk 02:09, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not sure where you got that number from. "Michael Pennington" gives me 180,000 hits, while "Michael Pennington Birmingham message forum" gives 752. Seems like a "legit" phenomenon (this coming from skeptic). --zandperl 02:36, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Forget Google. This is a rant/ original research/psuedoscience. ike9898 02:38, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)
    • The Google search proves it's not orignal research. Just because you disagree with something is no reason to censor it. I don't believe in pseudoscience myself, but it is an important cultural phenomenon which I believe we should document to the best of our ability. --zandperl 03:18, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Why do people always try to claim that listing something here is an attempt at censorship? RickK | Talk 03:24, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • Because if something is deleted, then it can't be read--censorsed, by some readings. Anyway, I vote keep. Meelar 04:05, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Cleanup, not deletion. Everyking 02:54, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • RickK, I believe this's the first time I've made that claim. In this particular case I do so because of ike9898's listed reasons. S/he says to disregard the evidence that Google provides that this is NOT original research but is a well documented belief, and instead claims that it is merely a rant or original research (despite the google test's results), or that if it's not one of those then it's pseudoscience, implying that no pseudoscience has a place in Wikipedia. Ike9898's reasons seem completely spurious to me. Wile, Ivan, we keep the Apollo moon hoax info, we should keep this. --zandperl 04:25, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Psuedoscience. Original research. Junk. Most of the google hits are for an actor. Ambivalenthysteria 04:59, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Only a few sites produced any hits about this and I can't find the original site that has the story. ⇒ whkoh [talk][[]] 05:03, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: promotion of useless crap. There does appear to have been a Michael Pennington hoax; WP needn't be the vehicle to spread it further. See [2]. Wile E. Heresiarch 08:55, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Boring psuedoscience and hoaxes shouldn't be in an encyclopedia. Ivan 18:06, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. The page is crap (and poorly written) and it's orphaned. No need to keep this. Jacob1207 18:36, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - hoax hoax - Texture 02:18, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Kosi

Yes, it's made up. Just because it is, why do you want to delete it? :SSS I'll move it to Wikibooks if that'll stop you from deleting it. --Trebor1990

And now you can delete it if you want--I've got a saved copy on my hard drive. Tomorrow I'll move it to Wikibooks. However, I don't see why I should have to move it; cf. the article on the Ubykh language, where the author goes into detail about its structure. --Trebor1990

  • Original work posted by it's creator for publicity. DELETEike9898 02:40, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)

Really? Who wrote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toki_Pona? If it was the author, then blame her too. Why are you guys picking on me anyway? It wasn't for publicity. Nothing like that. Maybe it should go on my User page then?

How is Kosi any less legitimate than Ubykh? Do you mean "natural"? The folks over at the Conlang list would certainly disagree with you on Kosi (or any other conlang) being illegitimate!

When your language gets used by others, to the point where some Google hits for "Kosi language" actually exist, it might be appropriate to have an article about it. Evercat 03:08, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Update: Trebor1990 appears new (see his/her user contributions and anonymous contributions) and may not have understood our policy on original creations. I left the standard greeting on their talk page, along with comments. --zandperl 03:13, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Sigh. He's 13. Let's all try to be kind when dealing with him. RickK | Talk 03:17, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Is this a playground or an Encyclopedia?Pedro 03:55, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: I think the above is uncalled for. His grammar and phonology writeups show a good deal of expertise, and his correspondence shows more maturity than that of many of our adult contributors IMO. Andrewa 05:01, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Trebor should be commended for some excellent work. But unfortunately this site isn't the proper forum for original work, which is what this is. MK 06:58, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Well put. You might like to visit his user talk page just to make sure he hears that opinion and explanation. He's already both interested and skilled, and seems anxious to do the right thing. All we need to do now is to persuade him that contributing is good use of his time, and we'll have another valuable contributor. Andrewa 13:11, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, please. Moncrief 07:04, Mar 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • I did delete it, but then someone put it back on the page I guess. Trebor1990 22:30, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • It was great stuff Trebor! I hope you hang around! best wishes --Erich gasboy 08:10, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The Synthetic Dream Foundation

Vanity page that self-promotes beyond Brett's own web site. May his dreams come true. (4.12.65.174 traceroutes to ISP in Tampa, stated location of Brett=TSDF from http://www.tsdf.net/ ) -- Zigger 03:31, 2004 Mar 21 (UTC)

  • Keep. I don't know if it's vanity, but it gets plenty of Google hits. Everyking 06:50, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment. Gets plenty of hits, but many seem to be sites that will list anyone who has uploaded an MP3 file. Also, may contain fiction--Sundance Channel can't find the movie cited, and it does not appear on their pages of 1998, 1999, or 2000 award winners. Niteowlneils 22:21, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm no underground-music junkie, but I'd heard of their first album. +sj+ 15:38, 2004 Mar 26 (UTC)
  • More info: 4.12.65.174 also edited 11 articles of music styles to include this solo project - all reverted. Many of the google links seem to be self-listing directories (e.g. [3]), which could be how the contributor saw Wikipedia. I cannot find the cited movie through Google or Sundance. The project's own bio page [4] states that Brett has begun to be contacted by people in 2004 for work which is claimed to have been done for years. If "Juilard" is the NYC college, Brett seems to only have lived in OKC and Tampa recently [5]. The music is unlikely to be "a mainstay of the German and Scandinavian club scene". The uploaded music to mp3.com does seem to have found some fans, but I cannot tell whether that reached the magic 5000 sales level (see Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies). The inclusion of this article currently seems to also breach Wikipedia:Verifiability and possibly Wikipedia:Auto-biography. If there is a consensus to keep, I will clean up the page, but 90% of the original seems unverifiable / promotional ficton. -- Zigger 03:31, 2004 Mar 27 (UTC)

A1 taxis

Nonfamous -- Graham  :) | Talk 19:18, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Neither "A1 taxi" dover nor "A1 taxi" invicta (nor several other variations) found anything relevent. Niteowlneils 01:01, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - unverifyable and unencyclopedic - Texture 02:20, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Marginal stub, sub-marginal subject. Looks like the original intent was for the same anon to create pages for the taxi drivers as well - both of them. Andrewa 06:06, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • I hadn't noticed that. The entirety of the text for one of the taxi drivers was William Coyle (7th April 1965 -) Notable for his big nose and bad taste in music.... -- Graham  :) | Talk 11:16, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • TaxiWiki, anyone? :) - Fennec
      • Hmmm, for my part I hadn't noticed that the articles on the drivers had already been created and deleted. Is this information available anywhere, or do I need to be a sysop to access it? Andrewa 08:53, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. - Fennec 15:27, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Irish breakfast

See Talk:Full English breakfast and Talk:Irish breakfast for arguments.

Contents should be merged with Full English breakfast. Irish breakfast in its main ingredients (egg, sausage, bacon, black pudding, tea) is the same as English breakfast. The additions to these basic ingredients are what distinguishes Welsh, Scottish, Ulster and Irish) breakfasts from each other (and frequently these additions are not served anyway). English breakfast (petit déjeuner anglais) is what appears on menus throughout the world. Calling English breakfast Irish breakfast is like calling French fries Belgian fries. If we have a separate page for Irish breakfast, we have to have one for Welsh and Scottish breakfast as well. Jooler 22:11, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. Irish breakfast is as important as Guinness to the Irish. See the article for the differences with an English breakfast, and specific stuff about Breakfast rolls and the Ulster fry. Also, this is NOT calling English breakfast an Irish breakfast. The other article is calling Irish/Welsh/Scottish breakfasts English - quite provocative. Zoney 22:30, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge both Full English breakfast and Irish breakfast together under some such title as Fried breakfast (must not be regional in name), and redirect both. -- Kwekubo 23:28, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Fried breakfast could be a plate of fried steak and eggs. Would you move Danish pastry or French toast for the same politically correct reasons? We use common names and this fayre is known as English breakfast all over the world. Do you also want to move Pennsylvania Dutch to Pennsylvania German Jooler
  • Keep. --Daniel C. Boyer 00:09, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Great article. Sensible topic. Not everyone is interested obviously, but if we delete this it's an appalling precedent. Will we similarly delete all the articles on the histories of particular countries, and merge them into one general article describing how national histories work in general, on the grounds that some people aren't interested in history? Andrewa 00:19, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Excuse me? I don't understand the logic of your conclusion. We have articles about distinct things, but here we have two articles about the same thing. Or do you suggest de-merging chips (or even Belgian fries) from French fries for the same reason?
I'll gladly excuse you. I think what you're saying is that, in your opinion, English breakfast and Irish breakfast are really two names for the same thing. I don't agree, and neither do several others who have commented here. If that were true, then by all means the articles should merge. But it's not. So the disagreement isn't about logic, it's about the premises.
I spell this out because I see that the same discussion has been going around in circles for some time on Talk:Full English breakfast, and you seem to be one of the contributors there.
IMO it's the people who are most interested in the topic who are in the best position to decide whether the differences are significant. And they tend to see differences and patterns that others don't. The same as in many other fields. That's why it's so important to have many different, varied people working on an Encyclopedia.
IMO Irish breakfast deserves an article quite as much as the English breakfast does, perhaps more so. Now pardon me, talking about this has made me hungry. Andrewa 02:49, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Ok try reading the article - (here)- now that I've put in some facts about the similarities of what is essentially the same thing.
I'd call that POV to the point of deliberate vandalism. Putting your own opinions into the article doesn't make them agreed facts. You know that this is a controversial matter, so what possible justification can you give for this edit? I see no point in joining an edit war, I just ask you to think through what you are doing. This is not the way to win an argument. Not here, anyway. All you have done is damage both your own credibility and that of your cause. Andrewa 12:57, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
What on Earth is controvesial about the naming of a plate of bacon eggs and sausage? In this case the name merely reflects the place in which the dish is served. Danish pastry in Demark is called Vienese bread. Turkish delight is also known as Greek delight, should we have two pages about these things? It's only controversial if you think renaming French fries to freedom fries is actually an issue. As the French ambassador said when questioned on this subject, as they are actually Belgian anyway he wasn't in the least offended. Jooler
  • Keep. Perfectly encylopedic. There are even regional variations around England (blood pudding etc.) -- The Anome 00:22, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Encyclopedic but in the wrong place. We should be using the common name, or do you suggest creating a page called Yorkshire breakfast to list the items found exclusively in Yorkshire?
  • Keep, no need to delete. RickK | Talk 01:36, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, reasons for doing otherwise are not sufficiently compelling. Wikipedia is not tidy. A foolish consistency etc.—Emerson Dpbsmith 02:46, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. There is absolutely no reason to delete, and I'm frankly a bit surprised that the suggestion to delete was even offered. There must be some backstory here. Moncrief 06:46, Mar 22, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. I'm aslo surprised that the suggestion to delete was offered. A remark above says "English breakfast is what appears on menus throughout the world," but Irish Breakfast also appears on menus throughout the world; I first had it in a diner in the Bronx. -- Dominus 14:36, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Absolutely keep. It would be even better if someone added about the culture and history of the Irish brekfast. (I'll have a go) Ludraman | Talk 18:54, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Suggesting that Irish breakfast be put in with Full English Breakfast is as ludicrous as suggesting US Congress and UK Parliament be put together. The two forms of breakfast are used to refer to different arrangements of food and are used in different contexts and countries to refer to different things. In fact there should also be a separate article on the Ulster Fry which is also different culturally and in terms of food make-up. The mention of French Fries/Chips and Belgian Fries is utterly irrelevant. (BTW I was offered a Full Irish Breakfast (not a Full English Breakfast) in Prague last week. So the claim that the entire world calls a fried breakfast a 'full english breakfast' is spurious and nonsensical.) 62.77.180.65 21:13, 22 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, Merging is a very bad idea, but a link between the two or mention of similarities would be fine. Sam Spade 05:11, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • There is large chunks of overlapping content between the two articles. If we were really trying to create useful article(s) on this topic, we would have single article that explained the similarities and differences between the British version and the Irish version, both in makeup and history. It could be a really good article, imo. However I think to avoid cultural sensibilities of editors (who cares about readers anyway, eh? :-) ) we are going to end up with two articles.. at this sort of cultural level Brits and Irishmen do not like to be lumped together. Thus one immediate problem with a single article would be want to call it... traditional cooked breakfast would be no good because of possible confusion with other countries... breakfasts of the British Isles hardly runs off the tongue. Ah well no-one ever said the wiki way was perfect. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 09:51, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • If this were an issue of space restriction, there might be some point in merging two similar items such as these. However, Wikipedia is not shelving-challenged. I say keep the article on Irish breakfast with a See also:. It might also be worth having a List of regional breakfasts, since Wiki is still woefully lacking a useful index. Denni 19:42, 2004 Mar 25 (UTC)
    • It's not about space restrictions, it's about most helpful way of presenting material to our readers. See above. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 10:11, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I say just redirect to Irish whiskey and be done with it. Smerdis of Tlön 04:07, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Oscars

Many pages refer to trademarks on Wikipedia, and I don't believe a notice like this is necessary on any of them. (I didn't put the VfD tag because I don't want it to show up on the pages using [[mediawiki:{{{1}}}|message with id '{{{1}}}']] ([[mediawiki talk:{{{1}}}|talk]]), but it didn't seem to work on the talk page) Tuf-Kat 22:13, Mar 21, 2004 (UTC)

Pip

There may or may not be a reference worth putting under this, but this refers to a minor (one-off?) character from South Park. Who is based on a more facous Dicken's character who would not even warrant a separate entry (inclusion in the novel description would sufice) The worst thing is that the article then proceeds to giveand proceeds a virtually unabridged blow-by-blow account of the episode named after the character. Splendid as South Park is, this kind of entry goes beyond "niche" fan interest and is a waste of space in an encyclopedia.

Third person limited omniscient

I've checked and double-checked, and there is no such thing. "Limited omniscience" is a contradiction in terms. In my opinion, this page ought to be deleted and replaced by pages for Third person limited and Third person omniscient (they are distinct) or else redirected to Narrator, which is a well-written article on the subject.

If interested, see my comments on the talk page for that article. - Bds_yahoo

OK, a follow-up. Searching the web, most sites that spoke of a "third-person limited omniscient" were clearly taking their info. from this Wikipedia article. However, I found enough independent "witnesses" to convince me that this is a valid term, after all, though it is in none of the standard glossaries of literary terms I own. Looks like another (possibly better) term for this is "third person flexible," and I think that ought to be stated. But I no longer believe deletion is called for. Bds_yahoo

Assassins

I'm working on the assassin page, and there's no reason for there to be a page in plural, too. It basically lists a very very truncated version of the same. It should be deleted and redirected to assassin. Wally 04:16, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

    • So the votes so far are 3 delete, 1 Keep and 3 Keep as disamb.? Just a double check. Most (including the movie and book) are already disambigged on the Assassin page and I thought Wikipedia didn't usually keep such redundancy to prevent confusion? Either way works, just trolling for comprehension. :P
      • That's 3 delete and 4 keep as disambiguation, because it's a disambiguation article already. There is no redundancy because Assassins is a proper title, not a plural. Disambiguation on article pages should be limited to cases where there's only one other meaning, or pointing at a proper disambiguation page. Redirecting a mislink on Assassins (musical) that goes to Assassins to Assassin is not a desirable behavior. -- Cyrius 14:08, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
        • I'm sorry, but that's a bit pedantic, isn't it? It's a letter 's'. Empires have never risen and fallen on the strength of a single letter. The Assassin page alreadylinks to both the movie at the play - they don't need a seperate page. The only time disambiguations are needed IMHO is with multiple subjects of equal stature - I think the ideological killer part is generally seen as a bit more important than the musical or the Sly Stallone movie... "motivated" as his acting may be. On Assassin, we can just move the links to those two to the top from the bottom, as they should be, combine it all, and redirect assassins, hence the proposal. Quick, easy, and we don't set up a precedent that if someone pluralizes something it deserves its own page.
  • I Agree. This should be a redirect to the existing assassin page. MK 04:45, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete all. What a mess. Caps are inappropriate in the titles, even for a redir. If any significant information was added and has been merged elsewhere or justifies an article under the correct name, then we may need to merge histories, but the one I checked was just the name of a victim and I hope they are all like it. I can't see any point in my checking the others as the underthanked sysop who cleans all this up will need to check them anyway. Andrewa 20:26, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • I agree that title was inappropriate at best but this doesn't condemn whole article IMHO. The article is a stub, if somebody could point out how it could be expanded - keep it, if not - delete & merge with Polish history pages (now it really looks like excerpt from it). However the best we could do with it is to make it article for Potsdam aftermath in Poland - neither Potsdam conference nor History of Poland (1939-45) has no real mention of it.
Moreover in advent of German Expellees activism at Wikipedia and Polish response to it, we really need some Potsdam aftermath overview article - for all nations that Potsdam affected. Would parties engaged in Polish-German edit wars agree?

  • This issue is a matter of the whole behaviour of western countries since before the WWII starded until today and not only of changing the borders in 1945. It covers much more than Poland also. The whole affair is as much (or even more) the cause of todays' Europe political shape as the WWII itself. It is also a serious cause of negative sentiments towards western countries, it won't go away if we keep silent about it. So this should not be "delete/keep" discussion but "how do we make it so that it is not inflamatory, but describes the situation truthfully". Matusz 12:28, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It defintely needs expansion and un-POVing (I can do it), but it's worthly. Especially that the topic of "western betrayal" is an important factor in Central European hstorical consciousness and politcal thought. It is connected not only to the Yalta and Curzon Line articles, but also to Nazi collaboration, History of Czechoslovakia, NATO, psychology, history of Poland, Soviet Union and anything related to countries under Soviet occupation. I'll start to work on the article right away.Halibutt 14:01, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Reform the article, keep the title! We should name things what they are, a betrayal will always be a betrayal, no matter how much you try to "NPOV" it. But I agree that the article needs much care. Kpalion 22:29, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep it under the same title. 1) Most people in Poland share this view. 2) It was true after all — Central Europe was given away to Soviets (who started the damn WW2) in Yalta. Taw 12:59, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Nazism and socialism

  • I personally would be very interested in an article comparing Nazism and socialism, and explaining what "socialist" meant in the National Socialism context. Whether this page is accurate I can't say, but an article on the topic is certainly appropriate. Meelar 21:00, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Good topic. Article seems acceptable to me. I'm guessing, because the subtext isn't totally obvious, that the subtext is "Socialism is evil because Nazism is a form of socialism," "'Tis not," "'Tis too." Is that it? Or, "Nazism is actually OK because it's a form of socialism," "'Tain't neither," "'Tis too." Is that what's going on? If so, it can and should be toned down. Dpbsmith 21:41, 23 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article continually attracts people who want to compare Stalinism or Soviet-style communism to Nazism. Why have separate words (and articles) for these subjects? Why not dump everything deemed bad into a bag and call it "socialism." Several people have tried to point this out to no avail. Take a look. It makes one wonder whether Wikipedia authors are in reality just a bunch of grade schoolers run amok.Sunray 03:49, 2004 Mar 24 (UTC)

  • Keep. It's a concept propounded by a Nobel Prize winner in economics, and it looks like they've made a serious effort to me to be even handed. We also have to give it the title which such economic and political figures outside of Wikipedia would use. Although of course, it's such a controversial topic, we may have a lot of trouble keeping this topic balanced. Average Earthman 17:49, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and severely edit. The Nazi party was purportedly socialist, and an examination of whether or not this is true, what socialism may have meant in a Nazi context, etc., is a good idea. This article is pretty bad, though, as most of it is a list of pros and cons and the rest is mostly unreadable... -Seth Mahoney 18:03, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep unless we intend to delete all articles in danger of becoming perpetual edit wars. The idea that Nazism was a variant of Socialism is factually wrong, but it lives its own life. The relationship between Nazism and Communism is worth a specific article which can be referred to. A section in a larger article is not as suitable to refer to.--Ruhrjung 20:54, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Hmm...this article is really awful as it currently standards. Among other things, it ought to be written in the form of an article, not a series of lists. And it doesn't present the issue as an argument between different sides, but merely as a series of acts that are presumed to be true. I think the article is virtually irredeemable as it stands, and would not oppose deleting. On the other hand, I think this is a valid topic for an article, if it could be done right. but it might be better just to delete and start from scratch. john 00:18, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

If so many people are opposing the deletion of this loopy work of POV FICTION, what does get deleted around here!??? User:JoeM was banned for less! But at least there's one lesson to draw: pick a good article title, and you'll get away with anything on Wikipedia. 172 04:02, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Well, the drivel can in extenso be expelled to the talk page, and the article itself stubified, but the topic merits an article. If it's single-POV, then make it NPOV.--Ruhrjung 00:24, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • I have to say that I vigorously object to your characterization of the article as "drivel". Not having been involved on it myself, I cannot speak to the goings-on during its authorship, but it IS a crucial issue, if a divisive one! My God, if anything the association between Nazism and Socialism has been sullying the name of socialism for decades, when the two clearly have very little in common. It's very much like the association between liberalism and communism; for far too long one has been interchanged, mistaken, mixed-up and confused with the other, and that is most definitely something that MUST BE ADDRESSED. He who forgets the past shall be damned to repeat it, I need not remind. Wally 06:42, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Can you explain why you think it's POV? After all the article has sections outlining both "Reasons Nazism is considered socialist" and "Reasons Nazism is not considered socialist" as well as providing cites for people who hold these positions. MK 06:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Any discussion should go in the National Socialism article, unless we also want to have Nazism and capitalism, Nazism and liberalism, Nazism and fascism, etc. —Tkinias 09:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is one page that really indicates how people without any background in a particular subject can force a ridiculous position on us simply by waving an NPOV banner. However, neutral point of view does not mean that any ignorant doggerel is to be valued. It means that we cannot take sides between two conflicting points of view with solid basis in well-established positions. Get rid of this crap. Danny 01:11, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. Real, no basis for deletion. Potentially useful for future researcher. Jgm 00:43, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Unless someone actually wants to write an article about every calculator type ever brought forth, none can really be justified. Wally 03:25, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: I'm still not ready to vote in this, but I do want to say that two of those arguments are invalid. We can list every type of calculator, camera, every weapon calibre and so on. It's more we don't want to. Perhaps this is mere pedantry, but my second objection is important. We do want to list important (not necessarily just famous) calculator models (if such exist) just as we list important people. The question is, where and how do we draw the line? Andrewa 23:14, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia does not need wallspace. If it's of enough interest for one person to write an article about, there are probably a hundred who are interested in reading about it. Besides, as an unabashed calculator junkie, I agree with Everyking. Denni 20:47, 2004 Mar 25 (UTC)

::The problem isn't that we'd run out of space, but that each one would be a stub (as this one is). A list, with occasional articles about particularly interesting ones, would be fine, but this one is not that interesting. Dozens of articles each saying "This was a calculator that was a variant of another calculator" doesn't tell you anything, but a well structured articele about the development of them might, if anyone was interested in doing more than simply listing the fact that it exists. Mark Richards 00:15, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

That, and we have to judge labor concerns here as well. If it can be agreed that SOMEONE is going to do it - and I think, reasonably, it can - then that someone who does do it will more likely be doing that just so it's done, and not be working on an article that is more important, such as Assassin (shameless plug). The precedent is rather staggering; do we really want open season to have work diverted from every project so that every dumpster, toaster and lawn chair model has its own article? Space may be unlimited, but manpower is not, and we have entire countries whose history, culture and politics are sketchy. Unless the calculator has an army, it can wait, methinks. Wally 06:42, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Rename to Casio Calculators and make it a section there. A list of all the calculators by a manufacturer would be of use. The article is pretty small. Eventually with a bunch of casio calculators there would even be reason for analysis on the line. At least put the name Casio in the article so searches on "Casio" would pick it up.

You are obviously familiar enough with Wikipedia to know all about the Vandalism in Progress page. You are obviously not a newbie. So surely you know that it's inappropriate to edit the Durham, North Carolina page to link to a personal page (even if it's not your own page).

Having said that, I think that there are some serious questions of professionalism here, and I agree with Fuzheado when he says "It's a tough call." If I were voting, and I'm not, I would vote to delete or at the very least redirect to a page titled 'Kobe Bryant accuser' or similar. But since we don't have a formal policy (yet), and since there is no legal issue at stake, we will defer to the usual procedures of VfD. Jimbo Wales 18:21, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • It is illegal in many jurisdictions to reveal this information [the name of Bryant's accuser], and could cause Wikipedia to be shut down. RickK | Talk 06:46, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • the page is also an orphan. RickK | Talk 07:15, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • FWIW, it was just orphaned. It was being pointed to by the Kobe Bryant page as Colorado woman until an anon just edited it out [15]. I've no words of wisdom at this time on the issue. It's a tough call. Fuzheado 10:36, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • "could cause Wikipedia to be shut down" combined with a speedy delete sounds like FUD, since it seems nobody has bothered to support this notion. Can anybody? silsor 22:05, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • If there's any way we can change the title of the page to something like "Kobe Bryant's accuser" and delete all references to her real name, maybe we should keep it. But the way it is right now, it should definitly be deleted. Rainier Schmidt 07:10, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete. Sub judice and something we just don't want to tangle with. If speedy delete policies don't cover this then they should. Andrewa 08:37, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • People have a right to know. Lirath Q. Pynnor
    • People quite clearly have no such right, as the legislatures of many jurisdictions in and outside of the US have created rape shield and victim-anonymity laws. These have generally stood up under judicial review. Delete post haste. -- Friedo 10:31, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • We need to formulate a policy on this sort of thing if we haven't already. Issues: Do we include sub judice information ourselves, do we link to sites that include the information, or neither. Do we treat the United States as a special case, as it is where the servers are located and so not publish information covered only by US Law, or do we cut out any information that is sub judice anywhere in the world? Is the location of the contributor relevant? Please copy this talk to a relevant legal/disclaimer page when done so we can thrash this out Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 10:28, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment: Agree. Andrewa 14:12, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • It would help Wikipedia get practical independence from U.S. Laws if there were mirror sites elsewhere in the world with reasonable laws regarding free speech. (By "reasonable" I mean any country where you can be arrested -- or worse -- for what is said or written.Most of Europe, North America, & several countries elsewhere in the world fit this definition.) Otherwise, no matter what we agree to here, all it takes is one court order to remind us that we are subject to US Law. -- llywrch 16:26, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - maybe someday this person will be deserving of an encyclopedia article but right now this is just news. H2O 12:45, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • (no vote). It looks like the page has already been deleted but the talk page remains. And her name is still mentioned in history of the Kobe Bryant page. Why would mentioning her name in one place be ok but not in another? I would like to know what the actual legal possisition is. I agree there should be somewhere where this can be disscussed in detail. Saul Taylor 14:52, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Good points. Andrewa 15:43, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Is Wikipedia responsible if other sites got hold of the article before it was deleted? [[16]]
  • I have yet to see any evidence that it is illegal to reveal her name. The name has been published in major tabloid publications and broadcast on radio, not to mention tens of thousands of web pages; I'm not aware of any legal proceedings against these agencies or persons. Please backup to the claim that this article is illegal. At the very least, it should be dealt with through a resonable process and not have been speedily deleted. We don't speedy delete copyvios; I fail to see why this case should be different. -- Seth Ilys 03:47, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I've restored the page, as there wasn't adequate deliberation prior to its deletion. -- Seth Ilys 04:09, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • No vote yet, but a comment: we have a page on Nicole Brown Simpson, arguably also famous only for being a crime victim. Meelar 04:10, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Not at all the same thing. THere's a big difference between a murder victim, whose family WANTS the name known to have the guilty person punished, and a rape victim, who, by the way society views the crime, does NOT want the victim's name known. RickK | Talk 04:21, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • This case (and therefore the accuser) is also important because of the controversy regarding the widespread release of her name, which was the topic of half of the article before it was deleted. -- Seth Ilys 04:14, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. silsor 04:50, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
    • AFAIK, there is no legal reason to remove this page, unless it is illegal in the entire United States or in the state where the Wikipedia servers are located to disclose this information. silsor 18:05, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Kobe Bryant, and decide on the talk page whether to publish the name (which I wouldn't, at least for now). She doesn't warrant a separate page at this point. Controversy regarding the release of her name is an important subject, but we should deal with those on articles about rape and the media - the issues are bigger than she is. --Michael Snow 06:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, no excuse for this. Fred Bauder 11:53, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • It is difficult to discuss a page when we are not allowed to know its name or content. I have placed a CENSORED version of the page at User:Pcb21/Kobe_Bryant_temp_page to facilitate discussion. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 12:17, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I don't know if I should even comment not having heard of Kobe Bryant, never mind his accuser. However I don't think he should be used as a way of getting round the privacy laws protecting (alleged) rape victims - which is what I understand this case to be about. So therefore delete. Secretlondon 18:37, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Not sure where I should be mentioning this, but the page just resurfaced with a name as the title. It had much less info than the article under discussion. Content was: "The woman accusing Kobe Bryant of rape." Since there's no consensus right now, I speedily deleted it. Hope that's ok. moink 19:03, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Another factor to be considered is that this woman apparently has been threatened by people who regard themselves as Kobe Bryant supporters. Publicizing her name could increase these threats. MK 19:23, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • The information is already public. silsor 22:02, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
      • The fact that other sources have made the information public doesn't mean this website has to publicize it. MK 04:50, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • It should also be noted that several women with similar names have been harrassed because semi-reputable websites misreported her name. If we can correct factual errors that are running rampant on the net, IMHO, we should do so. The practice of not releasing the names of alleged rape victims in the news media is only a custom in the US news media, not a practice mandated by law. This case has led a number of media outlets to call into question the wisdom of this policy. After all, her hometown, school, past relationships, employment history and sexual history have all been widely reported in the mainstream media. With all that being broadcast openly in the mass media, is her name really that much more? -- Seth Ilys 14:58, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

        • Since their other edits were all nonsense (such as Pencilophobia, Busophobia, Peniophobia, etc (see User talk:12.66.8.43)), it is safe to assume that this is nonsense as well, especially with the lack of google hits for any of the details of the article.

    • The redirect (which is now in place) merely expresses what the article already said. If you know better, then why don't you write a proper stub in place of the redirect? It only needs to be two sentences, what they are and why they are important, in this case I guess that they're part of Russian cuisine. Andrewa 19:57, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • For some weird reason it did not occur to me to write a stub myself. Oh duh... Still, even knowing the recipe and having eaten vareniki for all my life, I have no clue about why they are important and how they fit into the Russian culture. Anyway, the stub is now in place. Hopefully it is enough to keep the entry. It definitely needs improvement, however, so feel free to edit mercilessly. --Ezhiki 20:26, Mar 24, 2004 (UTC)

  • It's now a nice, improperly named stub. I withdraw the nomination for deletion and suggest the page, and Sirniki, be moved to the singular names.

  • Move to singulars made; note plural/singular in article texts —Tkinias 02:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Comment. Reversed plural/singular in text. Niteowlneils 04:10, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • While having no inclination to go against the guidelines outlined in WP naming convention, I would still like to voice my concern regarding making the singular form the main article (with plural form redirecting to it). The reasoning is as follows: while varenik is a valid singular form of the word, it is highly unlikely that the dish itself would be called varenik. Pierogi is a plural form as well, but no one would suggest to put the article under pierog. This is just not how the word is commonly used. I suggest that an exception is made for this article, i.e. the main article should be under vareniki, and a redirect should be established on the varenik page. Same reasoning is true for sirniki as well. Perhaps it was my not-so-specific definition of vareniki (namely, the "they are larger in size" part) that led voters to believe it is a huge dish, one piece of which is enough to feed a person; if so, I apologize (and probably need to fix that reference in the article). In reality, one varenik is about the same size as one piece of pierogi, which, considering its cottage cheese filling, is hardly enough to combat hunger even on one-person-wise scale. --Ezhiki 14:17, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
      • Sounds reasonable for an exception. Perhaps cases like this should be reflected in the policy. Guess I wasn't hungry when I made my suggestion. --Humus sapiens|Talk 19:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Ladies and gentlemen, this page has been on both Wikipedia:Pages needing attention and Wikipedia:Cleanup since March 23. What more do you want? Why do you think you have to nip this article in the bud? Why can't you watch it grow?

    • The problem is, there's no absolute definition of what a human neeeds, so this article will always be POV, with no hope of rescue. Even if we were to keep it, it should be moved to Basic human need, which is a better title. -- Cyrius 01:13, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This list is neither complete, nor correct. It will always be a matter of POV, just like Maslows. (And the Maslow's page exactly says that it is Maslow's POV). Mikkalai 23:35, 24 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. As Mikkalai says, it is very POV and cites no authorities (unlike Maslow's hierarchy of needs). It is also very poorly named—such an article should be entitled something more like "Basic human needs" in English. —Tkinias 00:07, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

      • Comment: Nope. Copy and paste is what we used before we had the the msg facility. Hmmmm. Andrewa 03:28, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • I meant copy and paste {{msg:disambig}}. Unless you're advocating a msg that has that as its content. -- Cyrius 04:35, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
          • Comment: Nope. Just I think that Jengod has a point. If you need to cut and paste, then you've removed one of the purposes of the MediaWiki namespace. But personally I have no trouble typing {{msg:disambig}}. Andrewa 08:26, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
            • If you're typing it once, then it's not hard to type. If you're typing it a bunch of times (for whatever reason), then use cut and paste. As it is 'dab' is too obscure, while 'disambig' is a simple truncation. -- Cyrius 20:16, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

Bundle of joy

Belongs in wiktionary, already submitted it there under Bundle of joy

  • Delete - Sign your additions to Vfd, and mark additions on the page itself. -- Cyrius 00:41, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete — Timwi 05:31, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)


Horseshoe sandwich

  • Transwiki to wherever recipes go. RickK | Talk 04:44, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep. there's an article in there under the recipe. jengod 05:27, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep, this is a valid bit of U.S. regional cuisine. Also, I can verify--I remember something like this from going down to Springfield during high school. Meelar 08:41, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - being an article about food does not require exile to Wikibooks:cookbook -- Cyrius | Talk 19:49, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)

Vinod Scaria

Is this person that notable ? Probably made up by User:Vinodscaria. Jay 05:03, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Comment. Doesn't seem made-up, but I'm not sure how notable (searching just the name gets well over 1,000 hits). Trying to filter out self-contributions, "Vinod Scaria" -"owned by Vinod Scaria" -"Scaria All" -Wikipedia "posted by" still finds over 100 hits. Niteowlneils 16:49, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment: Certainly not made up. Raises interesting cross-cultural issues. I'm tending towards keep although in a sense it is self-promotion. Difficult to evaluate. Andrewa 21:38, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Vanity. Google hits mean nothing, my name gets several hundred. Obvious from the article that he's not notable. We don't need articles on editorial board members of every journal in existence. -- Arvindn 08:06, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Calicut Medical Journal

Journal edited by the above Vinod Scaria. On its talk page I had asked for any useful links to the journal and no one got back on that. Jay 05:03, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Their site [18] lists Vinod Scaria as Executive Editor. The journal itself appears to be obscure, but not ficticious. -- Cyrius 05:25, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Definitely. Mkweise 07:58, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's a real thing. --Tagishsimon

starmen.net

Alexa rank is 60,000+. Unofficial fan site. Not notable. Meelar 05:11, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete - EarthBound has a link to it, which is all that is called for -- Cyrius 05:15, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete - Going to have to agree with you. No need to explain the site; it does that itself. shadow 06:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Starmen.net has actually made quite a splash concerning Nintendo. Miyamoto even mentioned its petition to release Mother 3 in an interview. Also, in Nintendo Power issue 145, the fanart section (I forget what it is called) mentioned that a lot of people had drawn EarthBound pictures--"and it's not even a theme month!" This was because of Starmen.net--the staff asked visitors to draw EarthBound pictures and mail them in at a certain date. And besides, there are individual articles about certain popular webcomics, why not idividual articles about a popular site? --SMWhat 05:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC) P.S. I'd add all this to the article, but I am SWAMPED with schoolwork, and unable to make more than minor/smallish edits at a time.
    • Keep for now. Quinwound 07:54, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: looks like an ad and not much more —Tkinias 08:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. It's not great and still a bit of an advert but much better than it was. Of interest to Nintendo players perhaps. -- Derek Ross 15:46, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep (well, I'm leaning towards "keep"). Given the edit activity on this article since its inception I get the distinct impression that the starmen.net website is some sort of "troll heaven" and I think it would be useful for people considering using the site to have this issue covered here in an NPOV manner. (However I've seen no mention of this facet in the article yet, though I admit I've only skimmed it.) - Hephaestos|§ 17:15, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. EarthBound is enough. ⇒ whkoh [talk] 09:34, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)

AIDS denialism

Already covered (and in more detail) by AIDS reappraisal -- Khym Chanur 07:13, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete - duplicate content, not worth merging -- Cyrius 07:20, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • redir to AIDS reappraisal. Niteowlneils 16:56, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I've redirected. No need to delete.--Ruhrjung 00:12, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

List of cities in Niue

Probably a joke, there are only 1500 people on thed island. ping 07:25, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I doubt it's a joke - just part of the breakdown of List of cities. Now that a few more cities have been found (I thought there was only the one), I change my vote - keep. Ambivalenthysteria 12:21, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Unneccesary, will never have content. Warofdreams 15:51, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. For consistency we should have a list per nation. — Sverdrup 19:41, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Also, I've added the 5 others from the CIA world factbook map. Niteowlneils 02:50, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Consistency is nice. The cities may not be large, but they are the main settlements on the island. —Bkell 03:00, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep - consistency is a good thing when you don't have to do something stupid to achieve it. -- Cyrius 04:50, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. But if the page does stay, it should be renamed to something like "List of communities in Niue". MK 04:56, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Maybe; are these incorporated as cities? Sometimes defined cities can be quite small. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:16, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep as an article, though I agree that a renaming may be in order. They are the principal settlements and deserve an article, but calling them "cities" may be misleading. pne 17:02, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've found sites that list 17 and 21 total cities/towns for Nuie, so presumably these are the bigger ones. I also found this map with 25 named cities/towns/villages[19]. Niteowlneils 01:59, 27 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Wyatt_Halliwell

  • Delete. Prank by anon. Originally listed with Aggemam and Vladivoj by Jia, but deserves its own vote. Andrewa 08:20, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Doesn't look like a prank, just a badly written article on a fictional character. -- Cyrius 14:53, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
      • Keep. Quite right. But have a look at the original and you'll see what I meant. Charmed is not mentioned. Now a good article. Andrewa 02:01, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
        • That's why I said it was badly written. -- Cyrius 04:51, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Its about a character in Charmed and I've rewriten the introduction to mention that. Other characters in the show have their own articles so why not this one. Saul Taylor 15:15, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Not a good article, but should improve. Subject seems encyclopedic. Warofdreams 15:45, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Same author keeps contributing Charmed characters and they seem to be listed here regularly. They need cleanup, but not deletion. RADICALBENDER★ 16:23, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Aggemam

  • Tagged as speedy delete, but probably not so. --Jiang 07:49, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Dicdef, seems unlikely to expand. Warofdreams 15:40, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete -- Cyrius 20:19, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

Vladivoj

  • Tagged as speedy delete, but probably not so. --Jiang 07:49, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and list on cleanup if existence is verifiable. Warofdreams 15:40, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep stub. I can find multiple pages that confirm his reign even if it was brief. EG[20] Niteowlneils 17:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ratshit

Dictionary definition, not much else. Fuzheado 11:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Redir Australian English. Dysprosia 11:02, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect -- Cyrius 14:55, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
    • Delete it, mate. Stands to reason redir is Sydney to a bob to give people a real bum steer as to what you blokes meant. I mean think of it, just because ratshit might be strine, now that doesn't make strine ratshit, does it? And fair go, are you about to make a redir for every slang term under the sun? What is this, bush week? At the very least, say rs instead, there may be sheilas around. Andrewa 23:38, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • That was neat! What language was it? -- Cyrius 04:58, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
        • Strine, aka occer, is the dialect of spoken Australian English that Fred Dag and Paul Hogan both used to great comic effect. The word was popularised (but not invented) in the title of the book Let Stalk Strine, and is an attempt to phoneticise the local (!) pronunciation of "Australian". I do know people, both city and country, who speak like this normally and with no intent of humour, in fact I believe Paul Hogan is a native speaker, that's what is so funny. And I'm serious about no redir, I think it's mildly offensive and unnecessary. Put it in the article by all means. No big deal, just my opinion. Andrewa 21:11, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
          • My question was intended as a joke :) -- Cyrius | Talk 01:36, Mar 27, 2004 (UTC)
  • Not sure there's anything worth merging, probably redir if not delete. Warofdreams 15:34, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Question

Dic defn moved here from speedy deletions - this is not a vote. theresa knott 13:48, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. There's lost of philosophy surrounding "questions". I do favour a revert to my original; the link to list of famous questions doesn't do it any good. Jfdwolff 15:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Agree with Jfdwolff. Warofdreams 15:32, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. While I respect your intentions, Jfdwolff, and I'd be in favor of keeping if the article actually contained some of the philosophy surrounding questions, as it stood (before today's addition of the silly "famous questions" list) it was hardly even a stub, in my opinion. Just a dictionary definition, and not a particularly enlightening one at that. Sorry.--Woggly 15:36, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Seems more like a dictionary definition. Sander123 15:39, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I do not think a page which may include a good study on to be or not to be, that is the question, ought to be deleted. Keep and let's hope someone will improve it. Pfortuny 15:59, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - there's nothing there. If anybody decides they want to do a philosophical treatment of questions, they can make a new one. -- Cyrius 20:22, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep and list on cleanup. Good topic, some good material and some mistakes, already more than a stub. Andrewa 23:18, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

List of famous questions

  • links only
  • Delete. I vote for deletion. This is just a silly list. Sander123 14:37, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Actually I deleted it several times already as a candidate for speedy deletion (wikipedia is not a link repository), but the author complained calling me a "cop" so I stopped to delete instantanously. andy 14:49, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Incoherent list and some unspecified links. Jfdwolff 15:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. This version is just silly. However, if someone were to make it a list of important philosophical questions, then I would reconsider my vote. Average Earthman 15:05, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Complete rubbish. Saul Taylor 15:06, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete with extreme prejudice. RickK | Talk 15:54, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Original humour by various anons. Very funny, there should be a place for this but it ain't us. Consider protecting if the VfD notice goes AWOL again. Andrewa 16:21, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • D. Don't forget to add it to BJAODN — Sverdrup 19:43, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Move to Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. - Fennec 01:59, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. The (anonymous) user who made this is some sort of loon. Check out his edits in "Question" and an admin's user talk. Ashibaka 03:17, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

====Rimur==== dic def. Move to Wiktionary. - UtherSRG 14:01, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Keep. Could be turned into a respectable article, given time. —Frecklefoot 15:22, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • A perfect example of why "dictionary definition" should not be grounds for deletion. How else can stubs begin? This is an important topic in the music of Iceland, probably made by someone following a redlink from that page. Smerdis of Tlön 15:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Looks a lot like the perfect stub. Warofdreams 15:30, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep, now a good stub. Earlier versions were deletable however as substubs IMO. Andrewa 16:13, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep stub -- Cyrius 20:25, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)

Lucky Penny Productions

Commercial ad or vanity page, not famous. Toby W 14:41, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Abigail 14:47, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Even if said company was famous or meaningful in their contribution, this article is pure advert and must go! --Pete Richardson 14:48, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. After reading it I still don't know what they actually do. Saul Taylor 15:04, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - advert. And not a good advert at that. Average Earthman 15:06, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete immediately - Why should we give them a week's free exposure ? This is an obvious, no apology advert. -- Derek Ross
  • Delete. Advert by anon, no history. IMO speedy is the way to go, but I guess we're still not agreed on this. Andrewa 17:03, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete it twice for being such a terrible ad. -- Cyrius 20:28, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless seriously, seriously cleaned up. -- Fennec 02:04, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Ioannis G. Tsatsaris

Advert. Google hits appear to be self-promotion. -- The Anome 15:18, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. Hoplessly POV, if valid at all. —Frecklefoot 15:19, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Do not delete. He is my prophet. He will save the world. Jt3 15:23, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Arvindn 15:26, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Incoherent and uninformative. If famous at all, a completely new article is needed. Warofdreams 15:27, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Visit his website and buy his books. He was the first to teach Anti-Lawfulness. He can talk with God and the Angels and he has communion with the Higher Positions of Universes. Jt3 15:29, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • See his photos. Don't you see the spiritual energy arround his head? He is chosen by God to spread the truth to us. Jt3 15:33, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia is about facts, not about the truth. Fennec 15:43, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • Keep, if it stays cleaned up. Fennec 16:00, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Darn. It was cleaned up earlier, and it's gotten worse. Delete if this keeps up.
  • Delete, along with the patent nonsense articles created from links on this one. - UtherSRG 15:41, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • The man has written a book (which is more than some). Let's try for an NPOV article before deleting. DJ Clayworth 15:47, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • You are right, but there will come a time when not having written a book will be more common than the contrary, I fear. Just kidding :) Pfortuny 15:55, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Tsatsaris has appeared in London and Stuttgart. He published books in New York. His books are being read by millions of spiritual seekers worldwide. [21], [22], [23], [24], [25], [26], [27], [28], [29], [30], [31], [32], [33], [34]. Jt3 15:50, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless article can be turned into something useful. I haven't found a single reference to him in the mainstream media, so I have some doubts about how well known he really is. -- ChrisO 16:05, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • I say keep. People who have devoted followers who go onto Wikipedia and write articles about them and their teachings probably reach some threshold at which we can consider them minor religious figures who warrant inclusion. Everyking 17:58, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • What followers? I think Jt3 is the man himself: Ioannis Tsatsaris -> Joannis Tsatsaris -> JT. He is clearly not famous. His website doesn't appear to be linked from anywhere else, according to Google [36]. He's never been mentioned on Usenet [37]. There appear to be no websites about him other than his own [38]. With such a total lack of any prominence (heck, I'm more prominent than that!) he clearly falls into the non-famous category. I think this is just a case of personal self-promotion. -- ChrisO 18:44, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
      • Yeah, could be. I'm inclined to be generous, though; he has published a book, hasn't he? Everyking 20:37, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, less than 2 pages of relevant google hits. Also delete redirects Epistos Publications and The Revelation After Ioannis - Deus Ex 19:07, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
    • If a Greek speaker reads this, could they check out the page that describes his press and TV appearences for us (link on Talk:Ioannis G. Tsatsaris) DJ Clayworth 19:53, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete: personal promotion, crankery. User:Jt3's edits are all IGT articles. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:28, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. I return more search engine hits. No, really. RADICALBENDER★ 05:01, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete - RadicalBender returns more hits. No, really. -- Cyrius 05:06, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-encyclopædic and probably a vanity article. &amp;mdash;Psychonaut 15:55, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Safe driving

Not an article, just a quote. No pages link to it. If it hadn't been created by Ed Poor, I'd probably have said speedy deletion. Perhaps he might explain it. Warofdreams 15:24, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete. This could be good page. But I don't see the point of this. Sander123 15:53, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete unless fixed up. Fennec 16:16, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Page has been changed to redirect to car safety. Keep redirect -- Cyrius 20:09, Mar 25, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep as redirect. Andrewa 02:14, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Yes, keep redirect. Fennec 14:37, 26 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Spofi Interviews

Huh? It's junk. -- user:zanimum

  • Delete- possibly merge. It links to SpoFi, which should itself redirect to SportsFilter, which also looks questionable (but cleanup-type questionable, not VFD). Other links include red-broken-links and a copyvio or two. Fennec 16:12, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete, and look seriously at SportsFilter. This series of articles promotes a particular weblog site which claims 1,000 members. So, do we also list every Yahoo group as soon as its membership hits 1,000? How about individual usenet groups? Andrewa 16:48, 25 Mar 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete ad -- Cyrius 05:09, Mar 26, 2004 (UTC)
  • I got this last night from the creator of the article...

Hey Zanimum --
Being the person that created and built the content for most of the SportsFilter related stuff, I just wanted to drop you a line and say go ahead and delete. Being new to the Wiki scene, I/we hadn't realized the nature of this site. We weren't using Wikipedia for self-promotion, just wanted to have a source for new members to come to to learn a bit about the site. Sorry for being a pain in the ass. We're now looking at building and hosting our own Wiki on our site. Thanks and again, apologies.
Ufez Jones.
