Timothy M. (Tim) Donahue

Strangely named resume cruft for a minor palyer in US telecommunications. delete--nixie 01:19, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - CEO's of major telecoms falls within the realm of encyclopedic. Gorrister 17:29, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - agree with Gorrister. He's been the CEO of Nextel for over 5 years. Suggest article is renamed, perhaps to Timothy M. Donahue, though. Sheldrake 19:40, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep and retitle. Not sure every CEO of every major corporation is encyclopedic, even one with five years in that position. If Donahue is notable for something more than signing Nextel's sponsorship agreement with NASCAR or working out Nextel's latest merger with another telecom, or if he did something distinctive relative to those actions, those should be added to the article. As it stands it's virtually "just a resume" for "just another exec". Barno 19:55, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Passes the Pokemon test. Klonimus 01:48, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but rename to proper naming convention - Timothy Donahue. Rossami (talk) 23:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• keep and write something in both his and Nextel's article about 800MHz interference Mozzerati 09:23, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)

  • Note: user's only edit.
• Delete, not notable, vanity. Gorrister 17:31, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Borderline case under Wikipedia:WikiProject Music/Notability and Music Guidelines. Active for more than 10 years, issued more than 2 albums, but apparently on minor indies. VladMV ٭ ^talk 21:39, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Vlad. Radiant_* 08:29, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Notable, although not on the largest scale. Fairly well-known band in Connecticut (especially because of its connection to Miracle Legion). I wrote the Miracle Legion article. Tim Rhymeless (Er...let's shimmy) 11:00, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Bhili language

From Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English:
In an Arabic script. I don't know what language. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:13, Apr 1, 2005 (UTC)

• Arabic, and looks utterly irrelevant - discusses the practice of celebrating the Prophet's birthday. Seems like a cut-and-paste copyvio - it starts in mid-sentence - but I can't find a source. - Mustafaa 11:33, 2 Apr 2005 (UTC)

<end moved remarks>

• I assume Mustafaa knows whereof he speaks. It seems easier to handle this here than as an (uncertain) copyvio. Delete. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:00, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete English articles need to be in... uh... English! --Fuzzball! (talk) 03:47, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, but it would have had 10 more days on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English before being eligible for deletion on that basis.
    • Ah, my ignorance - sorry. Rewritten page definitely looks worthy of a keep now. --Fuzzball! (talk) 06:12, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Since there really is a language called Bhili, I've removed the Arabic text and replaced it with what information I could find about the Bhili language. Unfortunately, it wasn't much, but at least the article is now in English and is about the same topic as its title. I vote to keep the rewritten article in the hopes that someone who knows more about Indo-Aryan languages than I do will expand my one-sentence substub. --Angr/_(comhrá) 05:50, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep rewritten article. I'd say speedy keep if we can, original reason for nomination has been addressed. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:15, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite. Mgm|^(talk) 08:00, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep rewrite. Good work Angr. Dsmdgold 13:45, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep looks good now.Gorrister 17:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep good rewrite. Nomination withdrawn, as far as I can see. - Mustafaa 19:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep! Honestly, people dump on tribal languages enough as it is! QuartierLatin1968 02:26, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Excuse me, I wasn't "dumping" on a tribal language: we were submitted a dubious piece of text about the Prophet's birthday in an Arabic script. That is what I nominated for VfD. -- Jmabel | Talk 06:10, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • I didn't say you were. QuartierLatin1968 13:44, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Original reason for VfD submission has been addressed and mootified. I'll see what I can do about fleshing the article out a bit. Tomer ^TALK 22:32, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

SINCE there is unanimous consensus to keep the article, and since the vote's required one-week period is now expired, would someone please do the honors and cache this discussion? I'm headed to remove the VfD tag on the article itself... Tomer ^TALK 10:02, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Actually it's only been up on VfD for two days. It was at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English before that. --Angr/_comhrá 11:21, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hmmm You're correct. My bad. Should I put the flag back? Tomer ^TALK 14:52, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

I guess. I don't think it's likely the page will be deleted, but we should do things by the book. --Angr/_comhrá 15:50, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There should be a better way to handle situations like this, where clearly bad articles are made into completely different good articles. The Arabic gibberish was an obvious candidate for deletion; the language article is an obvious keep (if someone were to nominate it for vfd now, they would be denounced for making a bad faith nom, and it would likely be speedy kept). In a case like this, 'by the book' sounds like red tape, given that a stranger to this site visiting the article for the first time will see the vfd banner, and may be confused about the legitimacy of the information there. -- 8^D ^gab 15:17, 2005 Apr 11 (UTC)

I agree. Consequently, I made a proposal at Wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion/April 2005 Part Two#Proposal to add policy to VfD, q.v. Tomer ^TALK 21:41, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)

List of political parties in Honduras

Instead of replacing the Vfd on this page to reopen discussion about the redirection, which he clearly disagrees with User:Electionworld Electionworld unilaterally reverted back to the current version in complete disregard for deletion process: This discussion needs to be reopened. My vote stands,--SqueakBox 01:11, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. We have similar articles for many countries. I think this is perfectly appropriate breakout. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:22, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• As a relative newbie, I have a question about this "process," which SqueakBox is so concerned with protecting. The VFD tag says "Please do not remove or deface this notice or blank, merge, or move this article while the discussion is in progress. " Wasn't turning it into a redirect during the discussion itself a violation of process? The Deletion Policy page says

You must not blank the article, turn it into a redirect, or merge it into another article.

(It seems to happen with some regularity, however.) (BTW, I have nothing to do with this Honduras page and couldn't care less whether it's deleted.) —Wahoofive | Talk 01:48, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• • I'm surprised Guide to Votes for Deletion says that. Redirect during VfD process is not that uncommon, but usually only after a strong consensus has developed, which cannot happen in 3 hours from 3 people. Similarly, moves also sometimes happen by strong consensus. Merging is almost always a bad idea while discussion is still in progress (because it's hard to undo), and blanking is just disruptive. Genuine editorial efforts to improve the article are fine, though. Plenty of articles are salvaged that way during the VfD process -- Jmabel | Talk 01:55, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• BTW there is a much fuller list of parties at Politics of Honduras which no-one has bothered to update. So this is an out of date duplication of Politics in Honduras. I think Cesar and I acted in good faith, where i think Electionworld did not. All he needed to do was restore the Vfd. instead of which he ignored the fact that there was a 3 majority against him and reverts to his version,--SqueakBox 01:58, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • Whether this was up to date has nothing to do with whether the breakout is a good idea. & I don't really care why Electionworld did what he did. This was newly placed again on VfD, I didn't notice it last time, and I'm voting on the merits of such an article existing, not on an issue of its current text, which is not generally a VfD matter. -- Jmabel | Talk 02:00, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Maybe I acted wrongly to revert the merger, but one cannot say that there is a consensus when only 3 hours of discussion were allowed. I argued my reason in the summary when I reverted: (RV. The debate on the delete page was only open for some hours. This page is part of an extensive series on parties by country, so do not delete it.). Sorry, I thought that that would be enough. It might have been better when I would have restored the VfD template. Whe had this discussion on several pages about political parties in xxx. There was never a majority for deleting of these kind of pages. There is a List of political parties that directs to pages on political parties in every country around the world. Where the Politics of xxx pages are generally meant to provide informtion about politics in a country, the political parties are meant to lead to a more comprehensive information about parties in a country. When I started editing in Wikipedia, these pages were already existings (Honduras was already existing in 2003). Deleting this page would damage a complete and balanced information system on political parties in Wikipedia. Gangulf 06:44, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep (but update with the more complete info on "politics"). Valid member of a series. –Hajor 13:52, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Haley Slafer

Was previously tagged for speedy delete because of "vanity". But since vanity is not a criteria for speedy deletion, I moved it here to VfD. Zzyzx11 01:17, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete; naked vanity that's already begun to attract vandalism, likely from related parties. -- Hadal 03:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete --Fuzzball! (talk) 03:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy deleted. Conntent was: ""Haley" "Slafer" was born on March 21st with red hair. Haley has a decidedly "whimsical" taste in music, and enjoys a plethora of bands most have never heard of. Haley enjoys spending longshore money and tagging walls at her local highschool with various cleverly concocted non-obscenities. She watches and relentlessly quotes from "Arrested Development", a television series she has convinced her lowly friend Bernard to be-fan. In the name of a painfully careless and grunge appearence, Haley rarely changes her pants. However, Haley has also mastered the French language, spent ample weekend time teaching undernourished Jewish children how to think, and been a student of music theory for over a decade.

Mentor Cahani

I started translating this from German, but it looks like a hoax to me. Among other things, it claims he won a Grammy, but he gets zero Google hits. Delete -- Jmabel | Talk 01:20, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Zero google hits for both Mentor Cahani and Sokolaj Cahani. Paradiso 05:08, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Hoax. Grammy winners should get Google hits. Mgm|^(talk) 08:01, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• . . .and ought to appear somewhere on Grammy Awards of 2005, don't you think? And it's not even a consistent hoax: it has him outing himself as gay in 1995, but says that he's been married, apparently to a woman, since 2000—it's not entirely unbelievable, but you'd think it would at least be explained. And Bart Simpson was apparently his guitarist, if I understand that last sentence correctly. Delete, blatant hoax. —Charles P. ^(Mirv) 08:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

David Roberts (Mayor)

This is NN/Vanity wikipedia doesn’t need bio's on every municipal official ever elected in the US. Crazynas 02:36, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. He was a mayor of a reasonably-sized city. RickK 05:17, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Current Mayor of a city of nearly 40,000 is notable enough for me. Dbiv 15:32, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep--local mayors are certainly notable, at least if the town is of decent size. This page could be very useful. Oh, and we could use articles on mayors of comparable note from anywhere--this is emphatically not a U.S. thing. Meelar (talk) 16:12, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• David Roberts already exists (as a Scottish painter) so that one should be renamed, and a disambig page added. Btw keep this mayor. Radiant_* 08:31, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Gary Takes a Bath

• Keep This article is one of hundreds on wikipedia about an episode of a television series. I see no reason why this one should be treated like anything special. Sirkumsize 08:36, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• But why should every television series have every single episode as an article? -- Riffsyphon1024 08:49, Mar 25, 2005 (UTC)
  • Because wikipedia's whole objective is to be a complete authorative guide to all things even TV shows. I don't make the rules. If you don't like then vote to delete and maybe we can go through and start deleting out the Star Trek episodes. See how long that lasts. lol. Sirkumsize 08:54, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: Primarily because "reviews and trivia" on their own are *not* encyclopedic content. What effect has this episode of SpongeBob, as compared to any other episode, had in the world? What information does a reader gain from this article that they could not by stopping down at their local video hire store? (Or maybe we're writing SpongeBob episode articles for the benefit of children in Africa). Slac speak up! 21:56, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • You are free to disagree with Jimbo, but looking things up in wikipedia is a lot more convenient and slightly cheaper than a trip to my local video hire store, and I don't think everyone on the planet has a local video store with Spongebob in stock. Of course, I agree that children in Africa don't need to know about what children in other countries enjoy, they probably don't contribute to WP anyway. Kappa 22:43, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Kong in Concert

An "album" (collection of tracks) of new rearrangements of the music in the video game Donkey Kong Country, if I understand correctly. there were over 7,000 successful downloads of the album, over 5 terabytes of music. Well, good, but since it's free, and since the marginal price of a download is zero for many people, 7000 seems a low number. (Also, 5TB must be 7000 times something or other: I chose a track at random and it was a digestible 4.5MB. So it's not notable by mere size.) Nothing really wrong with this, but there's no claim of originality (rather, the reverse), and all in all it seems to be under the limbo bar of notability. -- Hoary 05:10, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)

Social and emotional issues in the lives of gifted students

Unencyclopedic essay--nixie 05:16, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete article, merge some information as follows. This is an article on Isolation, Perfectionism, Underachievement, and Depression. These qualities are not unique to "gifted students". Merge any useful information into the pages for these four conditions, but "Social and emotional issues in the lives of gifted students" is unencyclopedic original research with at touch of POV. I can't think of any truly encyclopedic articles with ten word titles, actually. Perhaps this could become a rule of thumb, nothing over 8 word titles or something.Halidecyphon 08:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strongly disagree with Halidecyphon. This is a real issue, which has different origins and consequences for gifted children than for others. However, the title is awkward, and I see no reason for keeping it separate from the entry on gifted individuals. Thus, Merge with gifted (and don't merge this with gifted education).

• Merge as above. Beautiful article, if only the rest of Wikipedia could read like this.

List of Leica cameras

• Wikipedia is not a product catalog. The original submitter deleted the original content of this page. -- Egil 06:29, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, cameras are encyclopedic. Kappa 07:37, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Leica camera's are very notable, all models are of historic interest. Klonimus 02:01, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Question: Are cameras less encyclopedic than mobile phones or the Hasbro Darth Vader Voice Changer (if that turns out to be retained, as seems to be the case)? I noticed a while ago that a vacuum cleaner was voted to deletion. Why keep mobile phones, but not vacuum cleaners or Leica cameras? I am not really strongly advocating either side (and it would perhaps be a bit of a waste to throw out all the Nokia stuff), but it would appear more reasonable to keep cameras which have been around for decades and seem to have a kind of cult following rather than mobile phones which are definitly outdated and possibly forgotten in another year or two. / Uppland 09:57, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Adding to the above, it seems User:Kappa now has restored the content that the original author removed. Obviously, certain cameras are encyclopedic for various reason. But whole catalogs of all cameras manufactured by a certain manufacturer is not. Especially not so when they seem to suggest that every model should have an article on their own. This is totaslly silly. So delete, or merge with the original Leica article if there is anything of interest there. And yes, if there exists lists of all Nokia phones made, suggesting articles for each and every model, they should certainly be treated likewise. -- Egil 10:01, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to Leica. I have decided to Be Bold and merged the information onto the page but change the list from Wikilinks to normal text, as well as redirected the pair of stub articles to the Leica page as well; I haven't redirected this page to Leica yet though in accordance with the VfD policy. Someone feel free to let me know if this was an unwise choice. Arkyan 19:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Leica, but only the particularly important models. Wikipedia is not a directory. It is not an aid either to purchasing current models nor a guide to collectibles. A very few models are undoubtedly famous. What model(s) did Cartier-Bresson use? But if they're worth describing, they're worth describing in the Leica article, which has plenty of room. And if they're not relevant to the general topic of the Leica, then they certainly don't need separate articles. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:07, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: List of Ford vehicles has existed for more than two years without complaint, and while it could certainly be improved further, seems to be a reasonable article. Is the difference between a car and a camera simply one of personal interest? Shimmin 20:16, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
  • The difference would be the ubiquity of Ford as an automobile manufacturer over Leica as a camera manufacturer. There is also the size of the lists to take into account - the list of Ford vehicles is several times as long as the list of Leica cameras. I don't think anyone has anything against the list, it just seems better suited as a part of the main Leica article than a seperate entry. Arkyan 20:44, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Warsaw/Vote

Although we don't have explicit policy on deleting such pages, I think such trolling attempts should be removed, and VfD is the most appropriate procedure I know about.

Reason for deletion: trolling attempt by a sockpuppet. --Wikimol 07:21, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete from the present location, but archive somewhere under talk-namespace. Problem with polls in subpages is that Special:Randompage can find them. jni 08:01, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• NO! The voting is already started, so whats the problem?--Schlesier 11:41, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Useless vote on a preposterous (and offensively POV) idea that has no hope of changing current policy. --Angr/_comhrá 12:11, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Leave. The same rules should apply to all votings. Why should we leave the votes someone likes and delete others? Halibutt 12:27, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I see no point in conducting a vote about something that no-one here really has any authority over. If on the off chance Wikipedia actually adopted a policy of referring to Poland's capital as Warschau, is it likely that the rest of the English-speaking community would follow its lead? This whole vote is just one act of silliness perpetrated by someone with too much time on his hands who is treating Wikipedia as a form of entertainment, not as an instrument of disseminating knowledge. Kelisi 15:29, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - useless poll, created against the guidelines for when a poll should be created by a trolling sockpuppet in order to get people upset. john k 19:25, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - don't feed the trolls. Ruhrjung 21:05, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - should not be in article namespace. Schlesier has copied it to his own Userpages ("some Polish nationalists try to VfD this page" - hmmm) so really unnecessary (not that it wasn't before). SteveW 00:41, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

A supposedly binding poll in a user's name space is even more absurd than the current situation (which is, I should note, now in the talk name space). john k 06:44, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, yes the vote is in the talk namespace at Talk:Warsaw/Vote with its own talk page at Talk:Warsaw/Vote talk (i.e. the talk page of a hypothetical Warsaw/Vote Talk article) but it has a redirect in the article namespace at Warsaw/Vote. SteveW | Talk 09:21, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. One thing I should have mentioned above is that the vote was started with the sole purpose of making a point. --Angr/_comhrá 11:51, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, disruption. Gazpacho 19:05, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Disruption, trolling, if not a violation of polling policy then tightening policy would be good. Destructive in this namespace. --Jerzy (t) 15:05, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)

• Procedural Question. The title "Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Warsaw/Vote" implies this is a vote on deletion of Warsaw/Vote, which was presumably the poll page at the time of nomination but is now (as it should be) a redirect. I suppose this vote continues, but what gets deleted when the vote succeeds?

1. The redirect in article (i.e., default or main) name space
2. The poll page in talk: name space
3. Both

I would support the interpretation that most delete voters are expressing opposition to all 3 of

1. The existence of Warsaw/Vote
2. The existence of Talk:Warsaw/Vote
3. Conducting the poll presently embodied on Talk:Warsaw/Vote

But out of an excess of caution against unnecessary delay, i am explicitly nominating the talk-name-space page, and replacing its poll content with a whine about its existence and a lk to the revision that i'm wiping out. How's that suit your Gordian knot?

--Jerzy (t) 15:05, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)

It was already at Wikipedia:Warsaw/Vote when vfd'd (it was since moved to Talk:, and the redirect deleted); the vfd should be valid wherever the text itself ends up. Redirects to stuff being deleted should themselves be zorched per usual. —Korath (Talk) 17:24, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Several Problems with entry:

No potential to become encyclopedic (see WP:NOT) Completely idiosyncratic non-topic

The topic seems to have no other references on the internet and may have been entirely made up by the creator of the page.

Mark G Byers

I'm not sure about this new entry, and would like fellow Wikipedians' opinions. I'm not involved in this field, but my initial question is that while Mr Byers may have done an excellent job, is his work notable, or is it akin to a regular civil servant's? (In which case it may be vanity.) There are a lot of "Mark Byers" on Google, but 500-odd "Mark Byers" "New Zealand" responses. However, since New Zealand is a small country and the internet is not the be-all and end-all when it comes to credibility tests, 500 can be quite a lot (and more than some local celebrities who are in Wikipedia).

Mistitled, doesn't adress secretaries of foreign affairs in general. fails to provide context and I can't find the Shane Lin in question on Clusty or Google. Delete. Mgm|^(talk) 09:17, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not only is the title wrong (there's no "fa", it's foreign affairs), it defines a specific person as the secretary without bothering to mention which country is in question. Contrary to what the author might think, his/her country is not the whole world. — JIP | Talk 09:20, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. You would expect someone appointed as foreign secretary to a nation would produce google hits. I can't find any. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we've deleted an article named Shane Lin in the past, or if this is related to a micronation. The mix of antipodean first name and Chinese surname suggests Australian or New Zealand, but their foreign ministers are Alexander Downer and Phil Goff. Average Earthman 10:19, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, this is far too big to merge with anything. Kappa 10:53, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: There is of course no problem describing commercial companies, by all means. My biggest problems are, in order of priroity:

1. This list is made with a Wikilink for every product, which seems to imply there should be separate articles for each product Nokia ever made. This is absurd.
2. The list seems to intend to list every product Nokia ever made. I doubt this is of intertest for an encyclopedia.

For me #1, is totally unacceptable, so under these circumstances, delete. But if people are prepared to keep the information up to date and reliable, and argue this is of interest, then perhaps the article can be kept. But at the very least, all wikilinks to articles for each product should be removed, and any existing content in those article that may exist should be merged and replaced by a redirect. --- Egil 12:26, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Susej

Susej was moved out of the article namespace to BJOADN with the assumption that it was a Loof lirpa joke. However, I think it's a sufficiently meaningful and interesting topic that the debate on inclusion in the article namespace is at least worth having. It seems entirely factual to me (unless I'm still being fooled), and isn't badly written. -- Seth Ilys 12:48, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• yeah, but the only part of it that is actually about "Susej" is the part where it says (paraphrased) "Satanists often reverse Christian symbols. Some of them wear Susej t-shirts as an inside joke." The rest of it is about more general practices of ciphers and reversals. I don't know exactly why you've put it on VfD (what do you want to happen to it?) but I think your best bet is to add a bit about it to ciphers or word games. FreplySpang (talk) 14:18, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I added it to VfD so that we can have the debate about whether it belongs in the article namespace. If the result is "Keep," it can be moved to Susej, if not, it can stay in the BJAODN archive. - Seth Ilys 20:33, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, it's a list not a catalog. Kappa 18:56, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The list itself has no value IMHO. Worse, the list suggests articles for every product. That would beyond any doubt constitute a product catalog. -- Egil 04:58, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the list, but no articles for the products. -- 8^D ^gab 19:53, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)

    • The criteria is like for the rest of the encyclopedia. There should be articles for products of a certain notability. I am totally sure that if any, there are only very, very few Olympus products that has a degree of notability that they need an article. This list suggests an article per product, which is obviously nonsense. Perhaps some products are notable enough that they require a list of their own, but in that case they should be merged in the Olympus article. -- Egil 04:55, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • What?!?!? This is an encyclopedia we are creating. Wikipedia is not the WWW. Relevance, notability and all other qualities for an encyclopedia article must also be considered. I see very little value in this list as it stands. -- Egil 14:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Encyclopedias are supposed to be encyclopedic. --Gene_poole 06:08, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Wikipedia is forging new ground as an encyclopedia. Just because traditional encyclopedias don't usually have lists of products (and I'm not sure this is always true - I'm sure examples can be found), doesn't mean that it isn't a good topic for an encyclopedia. Encyclopedias are to learn facts and product lists are factual (albeit dry to read). And specifically to Canon, lots of people are interested to learn what products Canon has produced. For example, I am here because I was at a festival today and saw lots of Canon products. The first thing I did when I came home was to go to Wikipedia to see if I could identify what models I had seen. Jon Backenstose 00:18, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I'm going to put it in sections as well... -- Lochaber 13:28, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. While I am a bit leery of the problem of "free advertising", only in encyclopedic entries such as these will you find both the positive and negative aspects of the products. No, do not turn to a photo magazine; why would the editors of a photography magazine turn away their biggest source of revenue? So, the fact that Wikipedia does not get any money from Canon is exactly why it should have entries for its products. Wikipedia entries would contain information - given a good length of time for photographers and others to make entries - that would not be available on any Canon advertisement. I guess it's a "checks and balances" thing. JR

Delete, non-notable. Article is about member of a band ("The Flowers of Romance;" not the original 1976 band) whose article was sent to VfD (see here); subsequent article speedily deleted due to previous VfD vote. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comments: I would have suggested merging this content to an article about the band, if the band itself was notable enough to warrant its own article (i.e., band takes the name of a 1976 punk group and meets with success in the Baltic States). As the editor responsible is apparently a fellow band member himself, then this might be deemed spam or vanity, as well. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 17:45, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

List of asexuals

This "article" is at best speculation. Aside from a small list of names, the only text in the article is The following people are or were—probably or definitely—asexual. This is appallingly imprecise and unencyclopaedic. Several users have removed names from the list for lack of evidence or erroneous supposition of their asexuality. Delete with extreme prejudice. Exploding Boy 18:11, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I was briefly involved with this article last November, I think it was, and restored it on the understanding that it might be made encyclopedic, which didn't happen. This list is a complete shot in the dark and currently absent sourcing. Mackensen (talk) 18:18, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unverifiable, no potential to become encyclopedic. "Never married, no evidence of sexuality in public record" does not equal "asexual".

Not only that, but I always understood "asexual" to mean "without determinable biological sex", like worker ants. Isaac Newton may have died a virgin, but that doesn't mean he wasn't a male, or else we could add plenty of Popes to this list as well. Meelar (talk) 21:09, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

Brian Reddy

Probable hoax, no references for article, page created and subsquently blanked by anonymous user --AYArktos 20:14, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I fixed 4 typos in the article, which looks legitimate, but I'm not familiar with the alleged material (Irish television?), so I don't know whether this is hoax content as alleged. No vote. Barno 14:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

FYI, any address with 134.226 as their starting two quads are computers in Trinity College Dublin. Just because someone else used a PAC (Publicly Accessible Computer) in college to post other articles or blank other's doesn't mean this is false.

• A reference for the article has now been posted (Devils and angels : television, ideology and the coverage of poverty, Devereux, Eoin (1998), Luton :University of Luton Press/John Libbey Media). The book does appear on the internet, however, whether it mentions Mr Reddy and associated television show would need to be verified. A copy of the book is not held at my local library (the National Library of Australia) and therefore I cannot verify. I think this is now a matter for the Irish Wikipedians to comment on - to date all comments of logged in users have been that they have not heard of Brian Reddy or the show. --AYArktos 22:07, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I just came across this webisit now. The prgram most certainly existed, and I think I should know, Dickie Hickson, the shows host was my father, The house used to be covered in Bolg memoribilia. The show was a huge success, and is relatively well known in Ireland despite what some people have claimed above. I wonder whether or not they are hoaxing you, as I think I can confirm fairly convincingly it exists.

Thanks for your time, and I urge you to vote to save this important site. Joe Hickson.

* Dude, you're scamming - plain and simple. You're also the same person that AYArktos referred to earlier - I just checked the edit history on this page.

I am an academic of Trinity College, and despite my IP address (I am on the college network) am of no connection to any of my fellow contributors from Trinity. I am a 51 yr old professor of medicinal chemistry, and thus old enough to be in the 'Bolg' generation. I can confirm to you unequivocally that the programme did exist. Although, I must say I am not quite sure where the Cold War analogy comes from. Overall, however, a wonderful addition to this great encyclopaedic reference. I hope to research, and add more to this article in the future. Please retain it.

• Regardless of whether your statement above is true or not, shouldn't you be posting with your own account rather than using a so-called communal Trinners IP addr, especially one as tainted as it is right now? Furthermore, the Reddy article is still bogus, IMHO. Just like the Reddyb one you posted yesterday that got speedied. In short; give up - the game's over - Pete C ^(talk) 17:01, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Your IP address most certainly did! If you want to dissociate yourself with that IP, then get yourself a username, as suggested, otherwise people such as me will continue to make "mistakes" like this. At the very least, you should sign and date your comments, as has also been suggested.

An article about St. Theresa's Youth Group, a youth group at an English church. I'm sure they do good work, but this isn't the sort of thing that goes in Wikipedia--see Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not. Things need to have some sort of claim to fame. Meelar (talk) 20:13, Apr 6, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: I think this should be allowed the full VFD time. It's readable so not nonsense. It's an old show, so I don't expect much Google hits. Can you otherwise prove it doesn't exist?

They claim it was shown as recently as 1987. Not terribly long ago. We have Irish versions of TV Ark over here, and they don't have anything on it. Its against the ethos of RTE. Its not on RTE's site, which has a lot of old material (even some of it in realmedia these days). Theres NO Google hits for it.

If you want me to mail RTE, I will. But *I* can assure you its not real. Kiand 21:22, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I didn't think Google hits were reliable in this case. I know of enough TV shows that are completely misrepresented on the net, most of them children's programs. But if the station that showed it doesn't have a record of it, I'll have to delete as well. Mgm|^(talk) 08:01, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks, Paul Fitzgerlad (I also wrote the article on Brian Reddy, and am starting to get very confused about how to write entries up in good faith that will stay there)

Delete: bogus in the extreme. I was a kid in the '70s in Ireland too & there was nothing like this. Nor that Brian Reddy character, either. BTW, why did the original author deface this page? - Pete C ^(talk) 15:08, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC) Delete: I have never heard of this programme and there is no evidence to prove that it ever existed. Not notable if it did. CatCrofts 13:35, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• The issue seems to be the IP address allegedly originates in a college (see VFD Brian Reddy). It may not be the same author. My recommendation to Paul Fitzgerald (if he is a real person) is for him to get a log in and then he will be separate from other users of the IP address. This recommendation has been made several times in the IP user talk page and that talk page has ben defaced from the IP address - ie some users know enough to look for the talk page and edit it. I have also made the recommendation on the Brian Reddy talk page in response to Paul Fitzgerald's query. --AYArktos 22:37, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I have now created an account. I hope this will sort out some of the confusion. Have RTE gotten back to you yet about the programme? Take care, Paul ( by the way my account name is paulfitz if you need it)

  • Comment with respect to those concerned about libel, in the U.S. the First Amendment protects folks from being sued for libel for expressing religious opinions. I can stand on the street corner all day long saying John Smith is a sinner in the eyes of my God, and is condemned to eternity in Hell, and so forth, and there's no law that can touch me for it, because I'm expressing an article of faith, not a statement of earthbound fact. -- 8^D ^gab 19:44, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)

Iraq occupation mistakes (now renamed Criticism of the Iraq War)

Highly POV content and title, issues should be mentioned in the main article. Gazpacho 22:54, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• I wrote the article as it is. 1. If the issue is change, why then place it immediately for deletion? Here, that kind of reflexive reaction is called deletionism, and its treated as a kind of wiki-social disease. 2. The issue of POV merits an {{npov}} sticker, not a {{delete}} sticker. 3. On particular issues that need to be changed, are you claiming that there is not enough factual material related to criticisms and claims of the Iraq War and its execution? Certainly there's an argument for inclusion in the "main article", but LIC, there is no "main article," and whatever articles there are, are in need of organization. -==SV 23:13, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  Of course there's a main article, Steve. You linked to it yourself. When the title of the article itself is POV, and the article presents POV about another article's subject as fact, that's a POV fork and should be considered for deletion. Gazpacho

Your claiming its a "pov fork" - I think others will see it as simply focusing on a very valid aspect of the war, even if it was a mistake to use "mistake" in the title. :) Comensa la vota! -==SV 23:30, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• It would also seem that the normal editing of merging articles and moving them to less pov titles is also impaired. Nevertheless I have moved it (having not noticed the notice) and it stands where it does, because I have neither the inclination nor the will to move it back to what it was before, which was a substantially different article. -==SV 21:24, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• This is a comment regarding inappropriate listing: According to the Wikipedia:Deletion_policy if an "Article is biased or has lots of POV," it falls under "Problems that dont require deletion" (see the table). The remedy listed is "List on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention," and the proper tags to use are {{npov}} or {{POV check}} Since the Deletion listing was misapplied (and since VFD has always been a hangout for delete-freaks anyway) I will take upon myself the laborious effort of removing the inappropriate tag and replacing it with a proper one. It turn out that I was corrent. As I wrote above: "Here, that kind of reflexive reaction is called deletionism, and its treated as a kind of wiki-social disease. 2. The issue of POV merits an {{npov}} sticker, not a {{delete}} sticker." Apologies ladies and gents, for 1. being so late to check the actual policy, (I had made the mistake of assuming that you people actually knew what you were talking about) and 2. for bursting your bubbles -==SV 21:44, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • "VFD has always been a hangout for delete-freaks" is in my view rubbish. Most of the people regularly patrolling the VfD-page make their vote based on the articles merit; also those who label themselves "deletionist". Sjakkalle 08:44, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Not to mention that VfD is equally if not more vigilantly patrolled by self-declared inclusionists and "keep-freaks". -- Antaeus Feldspar 11:52, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Hey! Don't call me a freak! :-) Sjakkalle 11:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• The article's current title, "Criticism of the Iraq War", is not inherently POV as the original title "Iraq occupation mistakes" was. However, whether Stevertigo can see it or not, whether he will admit it or not, it was created as a POV fork. "Article is biased or has lots of POV" may not be a reason to delete but "Article is a POV fork" is. Add to this Stevertigo's idea that he is unilaterally entitled to declare the VfD against his article "misapplied" and revert it, and it adds up to a Strong delete. -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:00, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I might agree with this if someone (anyone) could qualitatively define (and substantiate) for me any practical differences between POV as no reason for vfd (use npov sticker) and a POV fork as reason for "strong delete" of whole article. The term "fork" implies that this material is treated elsewhere in a similiarly complied way. Where? It cant be that hard to provide a link! Does this mean that Wives of Henry VIII should be deleted because it contains redundant info, that can be found accross the related and attached articles? LOL. -==SV 22:40, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Is it your opinion then that "compiling" information from two or more articles together entitles the compiler to create as POV an article as they like, and then that article is actively protected from deletion, because "POV is not a reason to delete" and somehow covering the same ground as more than one article makes it less a duplicate article? "LOL." -- Antaeus Feldspar 00:24, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

No sir: It is my view that using the vfd as a means to express a criticism of an article's premise is the cheapest of cop-outs. In case you hadnt noticed, this is a wiki: If the issue is the title - MOVE IT. POV content? - Edit it, FFS! ==SV 01:44, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Perhaps we can have a complementary page? Kevin Baas^talk 22:45, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)

• keep edit and expand as currently retitled (Criticism of the Iraq War); the war and subsequent peace was one which triggered massive criticism and debate. Some of it valid, some not, definitely much of which could be interestingly analysed beyond the level which the general article can afford to. If there are non NPOV statements, move them to the talk page rewrite them for balance or make the needed additions.. Mozzerati 17:00, 2005 Apr 10 (UTC)
• Keep but revise. This article seems to be highly biased at this point, and facts are weak. How about adding statistics, initial goals and current results, and possibly comments by people involved? The title does not cover potential information that can be added, including other POV's on the Iraq occupation. --Sango123 19:56, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete or revise This is too biased. --Dr. Ingel 02:06, Apr 14, 2005 (UTC)
• keep --Yonghokim 06:38, 15 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep so long as verifiable and revise. For example the criticism of not guarding the main Museum is questionable considering it was used as a base of operations for Saddam loyalists; and most items were safely recovered after an initial lack of cooperation. - RoyBoy ⁸⁰⁰ 05:51, 20 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Critique only does not allow relevant counter-points to be brought up in each section. If 2003 Invasion of Iraq is getting too cluttered then you can split that into smaller sections such as Motivations for 2003 invasion of Iraq and how it was carried out. The answer is not making an inherently one-sided article. gren 05:00, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • That's a bit of a non-sequitur. Whilst the article currently has pretty much only criticism, you can easily and simply add criticism of criticism, which is the whole point. The level of criticism was strong enough to make it interesting in and of its own. E.g. the article claims that the WMD claim is provenly falsifiable (presumably just because the American weapons inspectors after the war claimed it was false). On the other hand George Bush has recently criticised that by claiming that there were WMD in Iraq and that they had been found, which is a different point of view. Both should be stated along with the case for each. Claiming that an article about criticism is non-NPOV is like claiming that an article about "Motivations for 2003 invasion of Iraq" is non-NPOV. Both can be made NPOV or not. Mozzerati 06:58, 2005 Apr 21 (UTC)
  • Gren:"Motivations for the 2003 invasion of Iraq" (LOL) might be an "alternate" way of looking at it, but I think that "motiviations" is MUCH more POV than "criticism," which like Mozzerati says, can still be a well-enough written article. But while "motivations" can include criticism, its basic framework is much more limited in scope. Snide comment: Considering also the inconsistenty and shifts in "motivation" (in rhetoric, anyway) from 2002-2005 maybe the title "ever-changing motivations" would be more accurate. ;) -SV|t|add 19:17, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • It's not non-sequitir I don't think. I prefer motivations because the motivations are US policy and US policy is worth reporting. Criticisms stem from US policy, not the reverse. Yes, I know both can contain POV but I think we must keep in mind what is the news and what is in reaction to that. I think the "criticism of the criticism" argument is taking the whole issue backwards. and Stevertigo, your comment might have been snide but it amused me... I do think there is plenty to question about the Bush administrations actions... I am not a staunch Republican trying to keep Wikipedia free of dissent... in fact I dislike most political parties... I just don't like what I see as the implications of such a title. If you want to change my vote to an Apathetic really not going to argue if it's not deleted delete then you may do so.

An interesting story, but unencyclopedic. Wikipedia is not Fark. Alba 23:17, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think it should be redone completely but ultimately kept. The grammar and presentation is awful but the person and the story is worth mentioning

Jacob Neusner bibliography

This very long list was dumped here by User:RK. I don't think Wikipedia should be in the business of listing every publication by a living scholar, some of which will probably not achieve notability. Delete, or perhaps condense and merge with Jacob Neusner. JFW | T@lk 23:25, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
