I just noticed it might also be redundant with marine pollution, but if it does turn out people want to keep this term (I'd say delete it), how about redirecting (I'm not in favour of keeping/merging the current content as it is borderline POV.) --IByte21:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete. I like the word, and I actually hope it catches on, but Wikipedia is not the place to promote new concepts. At 23 Google hits, this one is not yet notable for inclusion. Johntex01:37, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I see potential for improving the article with details of where the problem manifests itself and how it can be sorted out. (Previous unsigned vote by 212.17.46.2 (talk·contribs))
Please don't start a precedent of redirecting nonexistant neologisms. This would give them Google hits and indicate that Wikipedia believes they are real words. Zoe 05:21, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

"Spinks, Gerard" has over 11,000 Google hits; while not all of them are him, many of them seem to be. The book is easily verifiable by various booksellers, and the author has a significant following, particularly in minority commnities. If someone is willing to create Gerard Spinks, then I say merge. Otherwise, keep: this book is significant. - Che Nuevara, the Democratic Revolutionary01:06, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per Quasi. Sdedeo 02:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)Keep/merge per Che; googling around shows this guy to be a more notable (if self-promoting) figure than his poor book sales indicate. Sdedeo02:42, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep or merge. Since when is that a metric, Quasi? We should throw out notable books because they sold poorly with the public recently? Will this be, to paraphrase Network, "the first known case of a book being removed from history for having low sales ratings?" Many notable books may not sell like hotcakes to the public in 2005. I spent about 2 minutes trying to think off the top of my head something that might be a good example (obviously dependent on what the top of my head looks like), and so far I've at least come up with "The Philosophical Writings of Descartes: Volume 1" and "Black Beauty" which are both in the 200ks, as well as Mrs. Lirriper by Charles Dickens which, by your metric, is HALF as important as the subject of this VfD since it weighs in at 1200k on the Amazon Cashometre. I understand the temptation to use arbitrary rankings, especially in these times of high information availability, rather than looking at the specific circumstances in each case, is very strong. But a lot of temptations are strong, so what? D.G.03:45, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It's a metric in this sense because it can be used to measure something. I found an edition of Black Beauty at about 25K; the fact that they have multiple editions should ring bells, as well as the fact they're still in print after a century. Instead of pointing at Black Beauty and asking why it has a page, why not point out why this is notable? --Prosfilaes08:23, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
And, we don't have a page on Mrs. Lirriper, so if it were valid to judge a book by sales on one edition a century after it was first published, that still wouldn't help your case.--Prosfilaes05:46, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please note, that when I voted on this article, it said: "It has achieved unexpected success, eventually being accepted for sale on amazon.com and at Barnes & Noble's bookstores in the United States." So, I was voting based on its own claim of being note-worthy and found it lacking. I still say delete. --Quasipalm14:54, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. The book's no Harry Potter, but it's also not something that's sold 10 copies out of some guy's basement (which would be more in line with my definition of not notable). The author is apparently somewhat well known, the book was featured on Comedy Central's "Tough Crowd", and it's being sold through amazon and other retailers....keep. Wandering oojah04:31, 30 August 2005 (UTC)*[reply]

Delete, its publisher, Instantpublisher.com, is a self-publishing program, not even a publishing house. Radman, you'll have to explain why we should have articles on the top 600,000 books on amazon. Zoe 08:07, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
I'm biased with regard to POD/self-publishing, but I don't think a book being self-published should be used as a reason to delete it. It's sales, readers and the author and subject matter that are important. - Mgm|(talk) 09:06, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Delete, or merge to author if possible. Do we want pages on the top 20,000 books on Amazon? Expanded through history, there's millions of books we could have pages on that are more notable than this one. Usually, we put book information on the author page, unless the book itself is very notable, or the author and book are notable enough to have seperate pages, so put it on the author's page. (Especially since the press releases kept talking about the series of books.)--Prosfilaes08:23, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - if the author doesn't even warrant a page, why should his really low-selling, self-published book? Selling fifty copies of a book would get it in the top 500,000 on Amazon - a rank of 608,099 means about thirty copies sold. Utterly nn. Prototc11:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I'm generally in favour of keeping pretty much any book, but that doesn't include self-published, print-on-demand, vanity-press, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 19:06, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Delete - we don't need an article on everything ever published --Outlander 21:01, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Keep -- needs expansion and verification, but the article is not just about the book but about its success. Self-publication cannot possibly be grounds for deletion if the book, or its status among its readership, is of genuine interest. -- Chick Bowen22:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The problem there is that its supposed success is entirely self-proclaimed and thus unverifiable. Certainly, no real success is reflected in its Amazon rank if it sold just 30 copies (as estimated above). Most people, if they "published" a book, could sell more than 30 copies just among their immediate friends and family. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 23:00, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Delete the page on this book on Amazon does not inspire confidence in its notability. Unless its supposed success can be verified... --Etacar1101:41, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unverifiable success and notability. --Calton | Talk 02:16, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Can you think of a more notable business insprational book so strongly targetted to young African-Americans? Genre and social context makes this one notable; I wouldn't be very interested in keeping a generic pulp novel at the same rank. There is more to say about this book, and it seems to say something about the world it lives in. Samaritan08:10, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Amazon sales ranks uses the total sales ever of a book when calculating its rank if below 100,000; not just the sales in the last year (10,000 - 100,000), month (1,000 - 10,000) or week (1 - 1,000). A rank of 600,000 would indicate sales of a grand total of between fifty and eighty copies sold, ever. Prototc15:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, sinec Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents indicates a station is notable if it broadcasts at least regionally and is not confined to a city. There would seem to be no evidence that this is of interest outside its local area. It only collects about 50 Google hits. I realise this nomination is liekly to be controversial, however. -Splash00:39, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I don't know the history of the comment on radio stations on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents, but a quick look at Wikipedia turned up many less powerful radio stations (as low as 1kW) which have articles, including some with daytime only licenses. Besides, a 5kW station in an area like New Orleans is certainly "not confined to a city." Whether some radio stations are too small can be answered in another test case, but this one should stay. -- DS1953 04:25, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Keep per DS1953. Furthermore the website would seem to indicate that the station is received beyond the boundaries of New Orleans. 23skidoo05:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep — the station's web site "About Us" page indicates the radio targets "greater New Orleans and surrounding areas". Appears to meet the criteria for notability. — RJH18:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I fail to understand what this criterion can mean in reference to a television or radio station. Almost all broadcast stations reach beyond the city limits of a single community, and it's nearly impossible to prove otherwise even in the rare cases where it's unclear. Radio and TV signals just do not magically stop at the city limits, and sometimes the transmitter is outside the city limits to begin with. Keep (and rewrite the precedent; it's an unquantifiable criterion which helps nothing in the matter.) Bearcat08:29, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This was originally transwikied in the Tagalog Wikipedia but it was later deleted there because the article is a story and not encyclopedic in nature.

Not much point in deleting those old versions from the history, so I won't be bothered to.

Total rewrite - Get rid of all the Mille Passus stuff by Rktect. Concentrate the article on the art of rope stretchers only. The Mille Passus stuff may be correct, but it has been written in such a confusing form that only someone who studies ancient measurements would be able to understand it. Please, Rktect, if you're reading any of this, could you not use the abbreviated form of ancient measurements, and please include their current day metric equivolent. Also, what is 3kr? You say it's some ancient god, but surely, they didn't give him a name beginning with a number did they? - Hahnchen00:04, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I believe that is an attempt to represent an IPA symbol in ASCII. I think that what is intended is ɜkr (Aker?). In the Oxford Essential Guide to Egyptian Mythology (ISBN 02519096X) they show ka (life force) as kɜ and ba (soul) as bɜ and the goddess Isis (Aset) as ɜst, as well as using the symbols ḥ, ḫ, ṭ, and ḏ, among others. (Hope people can see those unicode characters.) But the convention is to mention these forms of names once initially, and then use a more common form (like Isis) throughout. Rktect should indicate more clearly when such a form is being used. --DavidConrad08:57, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
At last! The simple short explanation that Rktect has not managed to do in all his wafflings. -- RHaworth 10:34:02, 2005-09-04 (UTC)
The majority of the material in this article is totally irrelevant for the subject, and is a just a copy of other pages on VfD (e.g. [4]), exactly as stated by Drini, so the speedy delete criteria is fullfilled. The surveyors of ancient Egypt and other cultures played an important role, so the subject is definitely worthy of an article. In my opinion it would be best to start from scratch, but if some Wikipedian declares that they are willing to do the major rework and trimming necessary to fullfill Wikipedia criterias of quality, and prepare to take the burden of keeping it that way, then the article can be kept, probably after a rename. -- Egil08:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete because Rktect cannot refrain from filling the article with irrelevant nonsense, even while this vote is under consideration. At times it has been a decent article. But unless we can keep the irrelevant stuff out I see no crying reason to keep it. Gene Nygaard18:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Reposting of material already removed in dozens of previous vfds, so Speedy delete under criteria G4 in WP:CSD. See [5] for a list of many vfds already deleting this material. -- (drini|☕) 01:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The reason I'm not tagging it it's because it is a controversial entry, so I wanted to go for sure with vfd. -- (drini|☕) 01:50, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I followed the link you gave [6] I see links to stuff about an edit controversy, but no links to actual VfD votes. I may be missing it. Can you provide a more specific link, please? Johntex02:08, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, if you look at the edit history on the pages listed as vfd'ed at that place, you'lll see that this is the same info that has already been deleted. But given Rktect's particular style of editing, it becomes a puzzle to reconstruct the info. -- (☺drini♫|☎) 22:19, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I am casting my vote to keep this page in its revised form. Having listened carefuly to your constructive criticism I have edited the page and removed some material. The article continues to focus on the role of the Roman foot in the establishment of the Greek Orders of Architecture and their incorporation of many ancient standards of measure into pleasing canons of proportion. This is not original research but represents research that goes back at least to Palladio and Viruvius. It is not a mispelling of PEZ. It is not a reposting of material covered elsewhere. It is just some stuff you may not have learned yet. Rktect 17:36, September 1, 2005 (UTC)
I'm curious why when other encyclopedias have this article, Wikipedia doesn't need it. Rktect 02:28, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

Delete - I strongly disagree with the nominators general bias against elementary schools. Many are highly significant to a community, and are often a source of educational innovation. A reader, wishing to learn about the education system in a place, will do much better to read a few good school articles, than read the inhrently spotty and vague coverage of education done in typical town's article (if any coverage exists). However, I'm as opposed to mass stub creation, as I am to mass deletion. Nothing in *this* article demonstrates current or future value. --rob09:13, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Rob, a reader wishing to learn about the education system in a place should use relevant sources. It is highly unlikely they would consult an encyclopedia. And that is what we're making here. --Lomedae 11:01, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Comment: The same arguement could be used to delete every article on every place. In general, an encyclopedia is a starting point of research, not an ending point. A traveler may read about a country they knew nothing about in an encyclopedia to get the basics, but they won't use it as an actual travel guide. Same deal with schools. They might research schools of a certain type in a certain region, but won't use an encyclopedia as a guide in their final school selection. We're not travel guide, or a school guide; but we can still have places and schools. You're comment about "relevant" sources could be used to delete literally every article in wikipedia because every one is *supposed* to be based on reliable verifiable external sources, which serious researches will look at directly. --rob14:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Let us agree to disagree cheerfully :-) --Lomedae 15:14, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Delete elementary schools are not notable as a rule. --Lomedae 10:59, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Because its a totally non-notable religious elementary day school stub that has no chance to even be notable no matter how long it exists as the school has no notable alumni, has had no notable events take place in it and has almost no Google hits.Gateman199716:46, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, as per Kappa. Looks like we'll lose this one simply because it is religious and elementary. Eventually all schools will have a place <sigh>. --Nicodemus7522:51, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Now why do you have to draw religion into it? That has nothing to do with this procedure. The fact that it's a non-notable elementary school and that whe're trying to build a encyclopedia here does. --Lomedae 21:51, August 31, 2005 (UTC)
Keep this good faith addition of good content from a welcome Wikipedia editor. Schools are notable enough topics for articles until the great Wikipedia paper shortage strikes. Unfocused18:55, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article is just vanity material. Almost all of User:Sean Bonner's contributions (under his name and IPs) appear to take the form of advocating himself, or his sites by inserting links to his name or externals to the blogs he runs. In the vast majority of cases editors have simply removed his additions without paying attention to the systematic nature of his changes. Because of the nature of interlinking blogs, I feel I am not qualified to judge the merit of this article (I can't gauge the site's popularity because its linkspammed all over the internet), but Sean's pattern of self promotion make me strongly suspect that this article is just more vanity material. Gmaxwell02:19, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Please note: Sean has put out a call to the blogosphere effectively asking people from his community to come vote on this VFD. Gmaxwell12:55, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Discussion about the call for votes moved to the talk page
Keep. As much as I sympathise with your dealing with Sean Bonner's spam, this does seem to pass the notability test. Alexa rank is [7] 74,000, and they have notable contributors. User:Sdedeo02:34, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Metroblogging is a big one-of-kind community and definitely Wikipedia-worthy. User:StabiloStabilo
Keep. Metroblogging is a great community run by real people talking about real things. It's definitely Wikipedia worthy. Removing it from the encyclopedia seems to me to be something of a folly. User:tbridge
Keep. It could use some expanding and tightening up, but it's certainly a valid subject User:josephfinn
Keep, but needs some expansion on what sort of writing it actually involves to be notable. So far, all we have is that some well-known people do it. --Zetawoof16:00, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, first off, let me say that I'm a friend of Sean's and write for a Metroblogging site, just to be up front about it. I think that a good argument can be made that Sean hasn't added this for vanity reasons since he doesn't even have a page about himself on Wikipedia. I also think that various Metroblogging sites have become sources for up to the minute news during some disasters. The current devastation in New Orleans from Hurricane Katrina and the two attacks on London's subway system are good examples. They are sites that are linked to and quoted from major publications and some of the biggest sites on the web. The page needs improvement, but it is defiantly Wikipedia worthy.--Grant19:14, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete nn website, vanity. Alexa ranking is nowhere near what WP:WEB wants. Having a blog is about as notable as having a goldfish. Several of the keep votes seem to be by editors who created accounts just to come vote on this. Friday(talk)19:33, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
For the record, the Alexa rank stated above is for metroblogging.com which is only a hub, all metroblogging sites are hosted on metblogs.com which has an Alexa rating of 29,200 [8] - Sean Bonner 19:55, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Too add a bit, that is the cumulative rank for the last 3 months, the current rank as of today is 7,706 [9]. Sean Bonner 20:56, September 2, 2005 (UTC)
Keep I'm a Metroblogging author and I think that information about this blogging community should be available on the Wikipedia. Weblogs, Inc. and Gawker Media have Wikipedia pages, and the Metroblogging concept is similar, so why delete this article? - Mostlymuppet20:57, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as nonnotable vanity spam. I would hope that all votes of newbies being dragged in as sockpuppets or meatpuppets would be ignored as an attempt to game the system. DreamGuy 22:40, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
KEEP Metroblogging is notable. It's a large community that spans many hundreds of authors across the world. They cover most of the major cities in the western world. Users contributing are considered to be quite note worthy as well. ioerror
Keep The article appears (mostly) verifiable and NPOV. The participation of notable bloggers speaks for the notability of the network. Mr. Bonner's appeal to the "blogosphere" does not appear to be in bad faith. New users are to be treated with civility and their comments considered, even if their votes are not tallied (per VfD precedent). Dystopos23:40, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - Blogging, the most overrated thing ever, now everyone has their 15 minutes of fame, from other bloggers who read yours, it's like your opinion is important!. At least Sean Bonner actually cares about this entry, unlike that Cyrus guy, who keeps on claiming he doesn't care, yet constantly blogging about it all the time. But if it really has had the international attention like the article says, it's probably worth keeping. But remove the links to individual blogs, and just link to metablogging. - Hahnchen00:57, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. If there is to be any debate it should be on why we are wasting our time on Wikipedia, which allows anyone to goof up your words rather than on Metroblogging. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ospheric (talk • contribs) 22:09, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Conditional keep, under the condition of reducing the linkspam. The list of links in the article is as long as the article itself, certainly such a notable blog must have its own link list page that could be referenced here? The Hokkaido Crow16:12, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the links to individual blogs. They are all, in fact, linked from the home page of the main metroblog site. Dystopos16:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I don't believe there is a single sockpuppet that voted. All of the new users that came on to vote I know, so I know they are not just dupicate accounts that Sean has made. Now, that doesn't mean we have to count their votes, but they aren't sockpuppets.--Grant17:14, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Neologism with only very limited use, referring to a form of art, which, however, isn't entirely clear from the article. Please take a look at the related pages Shifz and Magnus Wurzer, too, about which I haven't quite made up my mind yet. However, this one should be deleted. Martg7602:43, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Sadly, the Cocktailrobots are now all in RA (Robots Anonymous). If the claim to international relevence on Magnus Wurzer cannot be verified then I would see no problem with all three of these articles being deleted — if this art movement were to take off, an article could always be created later on, eh? Perhaps some WienerWikipedians could indicate whether this group has gotten much attention there? --DavidConrad03:30, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Cocktailrobot isn't even a neologism, it's just two words run together. Take the links away and it's just dicdef, anyway. Shifz at least seems to have done something of note. My vote is to DeleteCocktailrobot and Magnus Wurzer as nn, KeepShifz as an art group. --Outlander 21:22, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Dicdef at best, not an encyclopedia article. I think it's very questionable whether this is a word, since in most contexts it would seem to be two words simply run together per Outlander. Quale17:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Abstain, but perhaps some kind sould could explain to me (I am not an American) how the term is "inherently controversial"? Or better, add the explanation to Tubman. -- Aleph416:22, 6 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It is not "controversial". The term simply doesn't exist except in the troll's head. Harriet Tubman was an anti-slavery activist in the 19th century. Apparently the troll thinks naming two black queens after a black woman is funny, and that the name "tubman" itself is somehow funny. The troll has been vandalizing all over the encyclopedia, and this stupid article is just another bit of his childish vandalism. 2005 22:01, September 6, 2005 (UTC)

The documentation of Nazi crimes is surely a worthy task. However, the question here is whether each individual concentration camp guard should have a Wikipedia page. There is an entire Category:Personnel of Nazi concentration camps, which is populated with bios of mostly non-notable female guards. (BTW, where are all the men?). One of those was deleted in early August at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Thea Miesl. I am listing only a few of the least interesting ones here. Since this is quite a lot of work, more will follow only if these pages get deleted. My vote is delete. Martg7603:31, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
My impulse here, given the importance of the parent subject matter, is to keep; I dislike proliferation of articles when a list would do (especially when, um, people make articles for individual rocks in the ocean), but there is nothing inherently wrong with it. Sdedeo04:11, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete the articles. On several VfD's we have deleted murderers and other criminals who were not notable; these seem to be the same ilk. I am also concerned that at least the several articles I looked at listed no sources and stated that the individual not prosecuted for her war crimes. Thus, we are listing people who haven't even been prosecuted, let alone convicted.

Don't Delete This is a conprehensive online encyclopedia, why can't we be inclusive and have a broad spectrum of people. He might only be a candidate in your eyes but you don't live in Allentown and see the force he is having on local politics. Imagine if you just randomly erased political candidates names from here because you as the holy Gods of Wikipedia deem them unworthy. Benjamin Franklin never held a major elected office, maybe he is not worthy to be on here. Ralph Nader and Ross Perot were only third party candidates, maybe they shouldn't be included here.Shouldn't we accept all of God's creatures great and small. Who are we to judge someones entire life as unworthy of inclusion. I think this entire policy of notability is just plain facist and bordering on out right Big Brotherism. We are all people and no one is worthy or not worthy. We should have no policy of notibility and include everyone great and small. We are human beings, we are flesh, we suffer and die everyday and every single person is worthy. Who are you to judge someones worthiness, you spend most of your time editing an online encyclopedia for free, are you so superior. Let him be included, let everyone who has taken a breath on this green earth be included and let them stand amongst us all, naked and bare, human beings taking their place in this universe. Bodhi395
Merge into an article on the election in question, or otherwise delete unless he's done something different than the tens of thousands of other mayoral candidates across the world.
Ralph Nader and Ross Perot recieved press notoriety and more than a handful(at that level, I define a handful as less than 30,000 votes)during the presidential campaigns(most people don't realize that there are actually 20-30 candidates for U.S President in each party if it doesn't hold the presidency, 5-10 if it does, we have to see most of them here in New Hampshire.)
I guess I just don't understand the notibility system here on Wikipedia. On the Allentown, PA page it has as a famous Allentownian the guy who does the voice of Master Shake on Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Now is that that much of an achievement to be included on Wikipedia, and yet a person who is seeking the Mayorship is a nobody. It also has the girl who played a bit part in Mean Girls. These people are very marginially famous yet get included. Where do you draw the line? What about doctors and firefighters, they are much more significant people in society then bit actors, would they be granted a page? Or does Wikipedia value the whims of pop culture more than the true heroes of society? I think this deletion policy is just too vague and since this is a very expandable online database, why not let everyone be included? Bodhi395
Successful voice actors are notable. Not-yet-successful mayoral candidates are not. Losing at an election is not a notable accomplishment. Now, if you want to write an article about the major of Allentown, go for it. As far as I'm concerned, mayors are notable.

Comment Mr. Molovinsky is certainly not notable outside Allentown, and as a third party candidate is of doubtful notability in it unless that notability can be documented. My own personal threshold for political notability is can he get 5,000 votes, but that's not a Wikipolicy. Unless something more notable than being a third-party candidate in a mayoral election in a medium-sized city (pop. 106,632) can be shown, he's not notable. Caerwine05:53, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Merge into Hurricane Katrina, and let it stay there after that page has settled down. It was a true mass meme, on the Internet and in mass media, but only for one day. It is notable (I mean that in the colloquial sense, not the Wikipedia sense) for being the most terrifying NOAA bulletin in history, but it only had currency for about 12 hours. If it belongs anywhere, it's in the Hurricane Katrina article as a footnote to history. MCB05:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This band, though a little unknown, has managed many gigs and battle-of-the-bands in their native city, Mexico City, together with their 2003 tour. I think the article should stay.
Keep the band is obviously important in Mexico, therefore it should have a space within Wikipedia. It seems it has a lot of opportunity to keep growing internationally. Let's give this guys a place!
Not sure Is this a really important band in Mexico? I consider myself an ignorant in that aspect but hey, Wikipedia is not a site for promotion but for information access about important matters... if this article is to be continued more info on the IMPORTANT facts of the band should be published. - Amy
Delete, I can't verify that they meet WP:MUSIC; their own web site has no evidence of a national tour. Google test for "las flemas" reveals that their name is Spanish for phlegm but I could find nothing about the band. --Metropolitan90 07:02, September 3, 2005 (UTC)

The Irish-American commentator! Do you really think it's more valuable to write about some folishly narcissistic user: personality rather then genealogical context of the Eastern European Jews if you know know what have happened?
I'm assuming that you're talking to me, so I'll answer. Please don't write in bold, unless you mean to shout, which is rude. Also, you deleted some of Irpen's comments, which I've reinstated above. That is extremely rude and is also vandalism. Do not continue to do that. Add your comments to the bottom of the page like everyone else.
As for your statements: A user page is hardly narcissitic, it tells people about yourself so that they can tell what your biases are and have some concept of yourself. As for "the genealogical context of Eastern European Jews," the article is extremely poorly written to the point of being incomprehesible. Feel free to improve it and thus allow it to stay. Also, your ridiculous trollish rants are not helping you, so calm down. --Blackcap | talk 00:49, September 1, 2005 (UTC)

Delete; merge with the article for the book. Although there are articles for other fictional battles, that's no reason that this should belong too. Whether it's kept or not, the article needs a major trim; as it stands, it's much longer than it needs to be. --Zetawoof02:42, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. It is the climax of the book, a matter of great interest to readers. Pointless merging it with the article on the book as a whole, as this description is already much longer than the description there for the entire book. It could not sensibly be merged without greatly extending the rest of the article on 'half blood prince'. Keeping it separate is consistent with the way topics have been 'farmed out' rather than having everything on that page. It is relevant to quite a few other pages. It belongs here as part of the set of articles on HP, not dumped on Wikibooks muggles guide (which is just disorganised stuff previously dumped from here for no very good reason.) Sandpiper02:48, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Other major fictional battles have articles, and no one's given a reason why this one should be treated differently. It's a major turning point in the series, and would not set the precedent for articles on "every minor event", as one voter put it. --Icarus22:39, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sjakkalle(Check!)09:02, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Ooh, no votes at all, don't think I've ever seen that happen before. As for {{vfd}} vs. {{subst:vfd}}, I've yet to be given any argument for it and it's more typing, so I'm just not convinced. If you really want to dredge the matter up again, have a look at my comments in the argument on talk back when the subst: was first added to the instructions. I'll grant you, it would have prevented some of the collateral damage caused by the namechange war, but that damage and a lot more would have been prevented if people had thought of way to migrate from one name to the other without lots of breakage before fucking with the template. Anyway, that's not a discussion for here, but if you feel like it please do come to my talk page, I'm sure I can find much more bile to spew.

Interesting concept, I suppose, but zero Google hits on various combinations of Tompkinson, incongruity, and so on, and none on the "pop culture theorists" cited (there are Benjamin Grangers, but I doubt whether either the one getting married in 1773 or the diarist of 1887 qualify).

Some guy said it to me at a club night in Manchester a couple of years ago. The DJ was playing a different style of music to what was normally played there(he was playing house music at a breakbeat club night).
The guy said something along the lines of "I can't believe what this guy's playing. He's off the f*****g Tomp!"
When I asked him to explain what he was talking about he said "You know, off the Tompkinson", and then preceded to tell me that his mate read about this theory of a measurement of culture clash based on a comparison of how much of an outsider the priest from Ballykissangel was. He seemed surprised that I hadn't heard of it since he knew a lot of people who used it for all sorts of situations.(This unsigned edit by 80.176.80.17)80.176.80.1715:02, 26 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

As per one of the earlier posts I recall reading an article on this issue in a magazine while I lived in Manchester. It was a few years ago, so my memory is a little hazy, but I think it the magazine was called 'sub' (or it was at least something extremely similar). I can't confirm that the whole entry is consistent with the original article (for example I don't recall muslim/wider environment refs) but i'm pretty sure it is at least consistent with the general thrust of the article (in terms of the drama/ comedy tradeoff w.r.t. ballykissangel). Rather than delete the whole entry, would it not be preferable, if necessary, to just tidy it up a little? 62.253.64.1500:13, 27 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
As can be seen above Tompkinson Unit of Cultural Incongruity was nominated for deletion on August 23. There was only one vote cast, the nominator's, even though there was a lot of comment. Had I closed it, it would have been as a "no consensus" keep since most of the comments seem to favor inclusion, but I didn't feel there was enough requests for me to do that either. I am therefore relisting this one for a second run.Sjakkalle(Check!)09:27, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
This seems to be a slightly controversal theory but i do dimly remember hearing it being explained and then excitedly discussed a couple of years ago at a house party. On the surface it may seem a slightly frivilous way to measure the cultural impact of something but does indeed capture the imagination ( for the Ballykissangel generation at least). Maybe it's a theory confined to the north West but i have witnessed it being used in normal conversation so it deserves to stay as an insightful page on this website. (LauraCameron, 31 August 2005).
Delete Take your pick: Not notable, pseudoscience, original research, unverifyable, patent nonsense --Lomedae 09:51, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
Keep The article clearly isn’t science and, as it isn’t masquerading as such, cannot be described as pseudoscience. And having been published in Sub Magazine in Manchester neither does it fall into the category of original research. Given the timescales does it even fall under the rationale of neologism? May be better described as logism?! The writing style is fine and so it is difficult to describe it as nonsense. And unverifyable!?! At worst this article could be described as non-notable and possibly vain but this is rather subjective and it seems a shame to delete a perfectly good article for being too provincial.82.17.24.1311:40, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was DELETE. Though there are few votes, there is no dissent at all. Further, it is actually a copyvio from http://punkmodpop.free.fr/doubt_pic.htm (so isn't a hoax). Copyvios get 7 days, but there is absolutely no interest in rewriting this, so I'm going to delete it per the AfD debate. -Splash00:37, 10 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please Keep: Please dont delete this without even trying it. It has a few google hits because of two reasons : 1) Its started just a few weeks ago. 2)I dont have enough resource or marketing power to increase the google hits(because this is developed as an individual effort). Give this a chance.. the rankings will follow.. I have no objection in deleting the other page about me, but please dont delete this. The article was created in similar way of a similar service, where there was a link to the page of its creator. So I followed it. If that was wrong, please delete the other page(about me), but please leave this page. I humbly request you to try the service before concluding that there is nothing notable in this.
Delete; Not unique or popular enough to be notable. Wikipedia’s purpose is not to provide marketing but information on established topics. - FlooK18:01, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; Not any different than hundreds of others. If it gets popular enough and unique enough to warrant a unique entry, then a unique entry can be created then. For now, there is no reason to have this cluttering up wikipedia. The site doesn't even do what the author says it does.
Delete. "Its started just a few weeks ago." Well, fine, good luck with it (seriously), but please come back when it's of wider note. MCB07:32, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I'm far from being against school articles but this one does not even try to establish notability. Has been given two months to come up with something but is still just a couple of lines. violet/riga(t)11:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I agree that it was rubbish, though two months is really much too short for any kind of organic growth--from experience I'd say that six months is a reasonable minimum. I removed the vanity stuff about the new headmistress and plonked in very brief summaries of what OFSTED and DFES have to say about the school. And the BBC league table for good measure. It's a very good, though not exceptionally good, secondary school. The article is now a perfectly good stub. Keep. --Tony SidawayTalk12:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Every cat school is a masterpieceIt is not the biggest or smallest of its kind, it isn't renowned for its architecture or laid-out grounds, it hasn't got a long history, it hasn't produced notable alumni, it doesn't offer special programs, according to the OFSTED report cited here it is near the top of the second quartile and not particularly good or awful, why exctly is it here? Pilatus08:47, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Hint: this is an encyclopedia, not the Guinness Book of Records. We write verifiable, neutral, factual articles about idea, people, institutions and events that people may want to read about. If you, personally, don't like the idea that somebody might read about this school (as I have), you don't have to think about it. Just blank it from your mind and eventually the horrible memory will fade. You don't need to have the article deleted; leave it for those of us who may want to read it. --Tony SidawayTalk09:51, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia is not a directory, that is a collection of data. This distinction is actually important. Elsewhere (incidentally at Wikipedia:Schools/Arguments#Keep we have a definition: "'An encyclopedia is a written compendium of knowledge.' -- '... Knowledge is an appreciation of the possession of interconnected details which, in isolation, are of lesser value.'" The article in question presents a few facts, nothing more, nothing to put the data into context, and we should have the article deleted for those of us that want to keep Wikipedia an encyclopedia. Pilatus12:30, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I strongly disagree with this. The article describes the school as one of two of its kind in Fleet, it relates the school's educational performance to the local area and to the country, and the standards of teaching to the inspections that are carried out by OFSTED. The article is also categorized as a Hampshire school. It is thus simply incorrect to state that the article provides "nothing to put the data into context". --Tony SidawayTalk12:40, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It is nothing but a directory entry. It's "one of two of its kind in Fleet", so you say, now in which regard is it different from the other? Why would anyone prefer to go to this school instead of the other? The entry doesn't provide for an "encyclopaedic", i.e. well-rounded education. Collis P. Huntington High School participated in the fight against segregation, but how is anyone who has read this entry better off? Pilatus10:58, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The question "in which regard is it different from the other?" is easily answered. it's a completely different school. You seem to be arguing that an encyclopedia should server a pedagogic function--you ask how reading this article make someone better off (I presume this is intended to ask how does the reader learn an "improving" lesson). Well that isn't the function of an encyclopedia. An encyclopedia provides useful, verifiable information on a subject. This article does that. It doesn't set out to answer imponderable questions such as was Huntington High somehow better than Court Moor, or will the reader be "better off" for possessing knowledge--the reader who chooses to read the article can answer those questions himself if they're the kind of question that interest him. --Tony SidawayTalk19:38, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
An encyclopedia provides knowledge, not data, as in the quotation above. The entry reads as if it were taken from a directory of schools and thus is not up to scratch. In fact, it is mostly data from the OFSTED website. Pilatus10:14, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A person reading the article by the time he gets to the bottom of the page will be aware that the academic and vocational performance of the school with respect to the local area and to the nation is rather good. It is true that is could also be described as data, but it is undeniably knowledge. --Tony SidawayTalk14:37, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
WP:BEEFSTEW point H puts it down more succincly than I ever could. The OFSTED data is nothing distinct, nothing that sets it apart from other schools. Also see point I. It's disappointing if nothing can be said about a school apart from its OFSTED/DFES evaluation. Pilatus17:14, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Actually that is one of the problems I have with BEEFSTEW. It's requirements are arbitrary and use words like "distinct" that tend to be interpreted in a non-intuitive manner by some who adhere to it. Schools are self-evidently distinct--they reside in different locations, they have different staff and students, they teach different ages, they teach different subjects and they provide different extra-curricular activities. Their academic performance is distinct and they have different connections to their respective communities. While you may be disappointed by a school article because it doesn't tell an improving moral lesson, or OFSTED figures bore you, I don't see this as a reason to delete an article. It's obvious to me, but not to you, that the OFSTED figures distinguish this school from the average. --Tony SidawayTalk18:50, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The article makes the distinctions of the school clear, in my opinion. If it didn't then we wouldn't be able to say whether the school was distinct from any other (indeed we wouldn't even be able to discuss its name, location, school system, curriculum or OFSTED figures because those in themselves are distinctive). I use the term "moral lessons" because it's the only way I can interpret your earlier use of the phrase "but how is anyone who has read this entry better off?" in the context of a school in which clearly a person who reads the article has absorbed some information about the school. It seemd to me that, since knowing that the school was considerably better than the run of English schools didn't seem to qualify as being "better off", you must be using some other meaning of the term, and so I plumped for the moral dimension. I did mention this conundrum at the time. Feel free to be more specific. I feel better off for knowing that the school is in Fleet, a town I know reasonably well, and is considered a good school. Since the information could be useful to me and was acquired as no cost to myself, I consider it excellent value. --Tony SidawayTalk20:27, 4 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Just another non-notable school. Jonathunder 00:51, 2005 September 7 (UTC)
Delete. And the other Fleet school is Calthorpe park. I went to that school and it is absolutely NOT notable. Oh yes, hang on, I forgot it does have a swmming pool next to it that was incorporated into the old sports hall. Smoking was prohibited but the sports hall allowed students at Calthoprpe Park to stay hidden while smoking. Could Court Moor be notable as having a lower rate of lung cancer in it's alumni? I'm sure this could be verified if we document all the deaths in fleet over the last 25 years. I suggest one distinct page for each alumnus with a discussion of whether they were non smokers etc. What a great collection pages that would make to go along with all the school pages. More is NOT better. David D.(Talk)08:49, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The Fleet page previously mentioned the area schools in this manner [12]:
The town has a number of schools including Heatherside, All Saints, Velmead, Calthorpe Park and Court Moor School.
Rather than linking all these schools to their own page such as Court Moor School. It is much simpler to link to the OFSTED data set. The Fleet page could more easily, and informatively, address the schools in this manner [13]:
Obviously if one of these schools has something exceptional to expand the 'knowledge' in wikipedia beyond the 'information' in the OFSTED database then it warrants it's own page. There is nothing in the current Court Moor School page that can be regarded as knowledge over information. If information is the priority for wikipedia then bus timetables etc. should be acceptable. Even stock prices that change on a daily basis.
Why is it better to link to schools that do not add to the information already in the OFSTED databases? This has the advantage of being vandal free and up to date. Note that the main reason would be for the information to be current. One might argue that the links will be vandalised [14]. This is true but it is still preferable to having the actual information on a wiki page. If I vandalise a link it is clear since the link will not work. If I change a data point on the page from 15% to 25% it is not obviously vandalism and might even be considered a legitimate update. Once the Court Moor School page has more than OFSTED and DFES data on it's page then it will be worth keeping. For now I do not see the problem of having it associated only with the Fleet page. i.e. merge or redirect to that page. David D.(Talk)23:48, 7 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, you're perfectly right. However silly or unbelievable, this article does rather clearly assert notability.

The result of the debate was ambiguous. There are five deletes, 2 keeps and 1 redirect. Usually, I would not delete with such a vote count, but after reading the comments presented here, I feel the need to use my discretion a bit. First, there is no consensus that there should never be an article on this, indeed some of the "delete"s say that a more neutral article without original research should be put in its place, so therefore I will not turn this this page into a redirect. Furthermore, one of the two "keep"s said "but not in this form" and so there appears to be a consensus that there are serious issues with the article, and I therefore feel that an outright "no consensus keep" result cannot be justified either. Based upon that, I will call the result of this debate as delete. Sjakkalle(Check!)09:27, 8 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
OK, this will seem a strange topic to delete, but here's the reason. It is too vaugue to write an article on this. The current one asserts that controversy is due to intolerance, but that's a POV, reductionist and partonizing (see my comments on article talkpage) - controversy can simply be honust and informed disagreements over truth claims. Religious controversy could include every type of informed (or uniformed) theological difference of opinion within, and between, religions - from 'what shall we sing in my church on sunday?' through 'is their a God/afterlife?' and 'shall we pray/teach evolution in school?' to 'who's going to hell?'. I wanted to redirect this somewhere - but any redirect is bound to be loaded - unless we redirect to religion itself. --Doc(?)11:17, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to religion. I agree with the reasoning above. Any good article about this subject is bound to be either POV or original research. --Lomedae 12:38, August 30, 2005 (UTC)
I am tempted to classify this entry as nonsense: certainly POV. Examples provided aren't religious controversies, but are aspects of religion which the editor presumably has a personal beef with. If there was anything of interest I would suggest a merge to religion or specific religions as appropriate. But there isn't. Delete. --Demogorgon's Soup-taster13:41, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It might be helpful if you could comment on what form you could see an article developing. My initial reaction was exactly as yours, but I could not think where this might go. --Doc(?)15:59, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. With nowhere to take this, and no usefully non-duplicative NPOV content like to exist in the future, this is just a stringalong of a few examples to justify what is effective POV OR. -Splash22:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I looked up the edit history: this thing started as a poorly worded dicdef, and I think the subsequent edits kind of hid that fact. The whole field is fraught with ambiguities. Large controversies may cover up personal animosities, just as personal animosities may be motivated by genuine disagreements on religions. The place this really needs to go to be NPOV is to an article in the realm of the anthropology of religion, but I don't know anyone who is writing that kind of analysis; if they are, we'd be up against some original research. So I'm voting for Delete in the hopes that if someone wants to start a new article (BTW, I am not volunteering), they could do so with a better starting point. --KJPurscell02:36, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The Grandville (Senate division) article is now redundant because all of the information is in the List article. Ground Zero | t14:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The article still is an outrage and so are the many lying and hostile Wikipedia "contributers"
I knew that this stupid article would result in lots of work for me, just because some people just can't leave me alone. I constantly have to go back to the painful times in my life and suffer again through it, in which I was abused as certain people like Tilman get a kick out of it to bring that stuff up again.
Here is my contradiction:
Barbara Schwarz, neé Bretschneider,
Where is the proof that I am a nee Bretschneider?
is a German expatriate
Where is the proof that I am a German expatriate?
Barbara, you lived in Germany and now live in the US. By most people's definition of the term, you are an expatriate. Of course, since you claim to have been born in the US, you won't ACCEPT any proof of that sort. 206.114.20.12122:17, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
now living in Salt Lake City, Utah. She was the president of the German branch of the Church of Scientology from August 3, 1983 until July 10, 1984. [1]. Schwarz is no longer active in the Church of Scientology (she states that she was "kicked out" in 1984).
I wrote I was kicked out by a non-scientological infiltrator, a friend of Tilman Hausherr with name of Brigitta Harrington. She was NO Scientologist. She left Scientology right after she kicked me illegally out. She is an enemy of Scientology. As is it was said, when an Al Queda guy kicks a Jew out of a Synagoge, is that Jew no member of the Jewish religion anymore? I posted over and over that the Church of Scientology asked me several times to come back.
Moreover, what is to make of these many ARS postings that claim that I would work for the Org Special Unit or those that saw me entering the Church of Scientology in Salt Lake? For anybody's info: as soon I have more time, I will be back in the C of S, which only the non-scientologicial infiltrators will not appreciate.
So, why is that not in the article?
Despite this fact, Barbara still considers herself a Scientologist, if no longer officially a member of the Church.
That is not true, and bad grammar. I never resigned and I never was excommunicated, for heavens sake. I am also a lifetime member of the International Association for Scientologists. The number is 12182 038 0003 8519. Check with them and ask them also what they think if the biased Wikipedia article on L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology.
Schwarz is also known as the current holder of the record for most requests filed by a single individual under the Freedom of Information Act.
Prove that some reporters did not file more.
According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Schwarz has submitted thousands of FOIA requests to the United States Government
You should order the logs of all federal agencies and check how often my name appears on their FOIA logs from 1998 through 2001, the years in which I filed FOIA requests. I bet a Million Dollars with you that just a few hundreds FOIA requests of mine are recorded in those logs. If Wikipedia wants to publish an article about me, their contributors have to make real research and not just allow Scientology haters to put lies on their site.
and followed these up with dozens of lawsuits against thousands of federal employees. Many of these attempt to substantiate her claims that she is the granddaughter of President Dwight D. Eisenhower and the daughter of Church of Scientology founder L. Ron Hubbard, that she grew up on a secret submarine base on the Great Salt Lake, and that her husband Mark (aka Marty) Rathbun was wrongfully arrested in Madrid, Spain, in 1988 and taken to the United States, where he is secretly being held.
I posted over and over that I did not grow up in a secret submarine base but was kidnapped to Germany. Prove that I said I grew up in such a base.
As far as my law suits are concerned, they were about that the federal workers conducted no lawful searches to my FOIA requests.
Because the anti-Scientologists libeled me before I ever posted there. When I leave they become even worse with lies and forgeries. They are criminals.
Her posts are sometimes defensive of the Church of Scientology,
I don't defend the Church of Scientology. I correct the lies about the religion Scientology and L. Ron Hubbard. Tilman's (who works for German secret service OPC) purpose is to portray me wrongfully as confused or mentally ill person. He doesn't know me, and that is his problem. His secret service has greatest interest in him and others spreading lies about me.
but other times she insists that while the church's "technology" (scripture) works, the current hierarchy of the church is corrupt, due to infiltration.
I never said that any hierarchy of the church is/was corrupt, but I indeed made the personal experience that the Scientology organizations are infiltrated by non-Scientologists. The German branch even filed a law suit against Tilman's secret service to make them pull their agents out, which they didn't.
Other posts have recounted her travels during the 1980s and how she was arrested on various occasions, including for illegally entering the White House, and twice confined to a mental health hospital in the U.S. and once in Germany. [2] [3] [4] [5]
Arrested for "various occasions"? Tilman just want to make me look bad and cover up that German secret service are not just watching Scientologists illegally but also plotting against them and denying them their human rights. The U.S. Department of State mentions Germany every year in their Human Rights report because of the abuses against Scientology.
The Germans are crazy, they still have their Nazi boots on, allowed Atta and his cell to plot Sept. 11 while they were and still are occupied to spy and plot against harmless Scientologists.
I never entered illegally in the White House. I never committed any crime, except having had no food for 14 days and taking nectarines worth five bucks with the intention to pay them back. All cases against me were indeed plotted. Read for yourself what happened to me in my 92 parts series, which is a draft only, but correct in details.
Why are the crimes by the German government against me concealed in the article? For the sake of arguments, let say for a moment that I am crazy. But how come the German government who started to constantly pull the rug out from underneath my feet, is not accused of having caused that? Tilman protects his fanatical government. I was lied to by with the German's co-conspiring police that I am needed as witness in Germany. At the border I was told that I was arrested, but they had no charges against me. I saw a judge who denied to me any contact to an attorney despite the German law says everybody arrested has a right to an attorney.
He told me that I am arrested because I tried to intimidate Klaus Karbe, an ex-official in Germany, in a phone conversation to call off an international event to introduce "deprogramming" to Europe. (Deprogramming is the cruel procedure of breaking somebody's belief with all kinds of criminal methods.)
Read about the father of deprogramming here:
http://www.parishioners.org/false_exp/patrick1.html
The German district attorney Juergen Keltsch made the charges up after my arrest, and German police transported me in deliberately too tight handcuffs for at least eight hours in a train through Germany. I was beaten by German police, and when I became upset they lied that I am crazy and stuffed me in a mental institution where I had to sit for eight months because they tried to "deprogram me" from Scientology because they wanted a former President to attack Scientology. The German psychiatrists from hell messed my kidneys up with who knows what was in those injections. My kidneys became hard and painful. Tilman's friend Ingo Heinemann was very much involved in that process, and this fanatical man even wanted to become my "guardian"!
I was not allowed to talk to any attorney over many weeks, and the German government plotted behind my back with the judges, and they issued one degree after the other against me without that I had any chance to defend myself against it.
What a "fine" country Tilman works for, and I did not just claim that the SEGNPMSS was involved but also the OPC for which Tilman Hausherr and his good friend Ursula Caberta works.
The case against me was dismiss years later, I was wrongfully arrested for such a long time. And - two years later, I was kidnapped by three deprogrammers and badly hurt in an attempt to flee. Isn't that an irony? I protested against it, and the government kidnapped me from Copenhagen to penalize me for that, and then I become the victim of what I protested against!
Furthermore why is nowhere in the article that a Police Officer and a U.S. Marshall broke my arm twice without provocation, during these "arrests" in Washington, that they took my $ 2000, threw me in the streets at night, etc?
And when I protested that, they lied that I am crazy and need to see a psych. What a rotten world it is and what a lousy article that Wikipedia article about me is. Everything but how it really was.
If Wikipedia wants to write an article about me then write a true one, and not a German OPC organized and approved article that sweeps all their organized crimes against me under the carpet.
Barbara Schwarz
Shovel the article, is my vote. I am Barbara Schwarz. Wikipedia
is a piece of junk. I can't force anybody here to write a truthful and
factual article about me, but I certainly can spread the word that
Wikipedia allows gangs as Alt.Religion.Scientology (ARS)to defame and
libel and portray people in false light on their website, people who
delete any neutral and correct data, and I am tired to waste my time
on this Mickey Mouse encyclopedia, founded by pornographer Jimbo
Wales. Who believes the articles on Wikipedia has a major IQ problem.
First of all, Wikipedia board and administrators should study the laws
before they allow discrimination and libel on the Wikipedia webpage.
When a local paper writes about a person, when that person posts on
Usenet that does not make her to a public figure. You should clear the
legal definition of it before. I am no public figure per legal
definition.
Tilman Hausherr, who wrote most of that article and controls it like a
lunatic, is an enemy of the USA, wants to hurt the American tourism
and wants to blame it on Scientology. He posted at least 24.000 hate
messages on Usenet. He deletes any truthful information about himself
and is supported by ARS gang members and dishonest Wikipedia
administrators.
Yes, I am a Scientologist and not Scientology threw me out, but one of
Tilman's and the other extremists' friend, Birgitta Harrington a
non-scientological infiltrator. You need to be "SP declared" in order
to be not more considered a Scientologist. But lets say, all of
Scientology would be in the hand of Tilman and the secret service he
works for, and they would indeed lie that I am no Scientologist
anymore: I still would be one per definition of L. Ron Hubbard who
stated that a Scientologist is one who applies the technology of
Scientology.
Tilman, like the others, claims to be an expert on Scientology, and posted
approx. 24000 hate articles against it on the net, but he and his
friends are absolutely clueless. They are responsible for having
written the L. Ron Hubbard and Scientology section, and that one sucks
too. It is full of lies and false information. "Fine" encyclopedia is
is!
Also in this vote section, ARS anti-religious extremists lie and
accuse me of what they are doing. I referred often to this website,
which is on the net since several years and never was sued by this
gang as the data provided is not false.
http://www.religiousfreedomwatch.org/extremists/index.html
See also how many documents are on that site, but as soon somebody
provides a link to the documents on that site, the entry is
overwritten. "Fine" neutrality it is.
I don't libel anybody, I hate defamation and lies. I never wanted to
post on Usenet, but I was defamed even before I posted. One day I had
enough and just wanted to keep the records straight. The result: I was
even more defamed and had not much other choice then to stay present
and correct the lies about me.
Most people who post here did not even read what I posted in the talk
page. Their postings reveal that they are completely clueless. How
can they make an informed decision when they are so biased that they
don't even want to know the facts? I don't repeat what I wrote already
in the talk page. Wikipedia and the gangs who post here are wasting my
time and I will hold not just the individual posters but also
Wikipedia legally responsible for webbing an article about me that
portrays me wrongfully.
Some of the information provided below is Garry Lynn Scarff. He is
a forger and death threat maker, and you just have to google his name
to find the details on him. He filed false complaints. I never. Google
also William Charles Barwell to find what lying bastard he is. The
there is the Desertphile poster, who is Dave Rice, who described
himself as Prozac filled gay terrorist psycho, took GPS readings of
Scientology orgs and called them target data. He suggested in a
posting to kill members of the FBI and he and his brother put a plan
on the web in which they revealed that they want to "deprogram"
Scientologists by applying sexual abuse. His kook bother Frederic is
the lunatic who put the "kook award" crap on the page. These are the
few intoxicated kooks who voted (several times) to "award" me, but
Wikipedia doesn't get it and degrades it's pages by allowing that kind
of garbage in an article.
http://groups.google.com/group/alt.religion.scientology/browse_thread/thread/54ef1b7f6b03bb0f/f36f44c3060f5731?lnk=st&q=Frederic+rice%2Bdeprogramming&rnum=1&hl=en#f36f44c3060f5731
Frederic recently made the text on his plan on his website illegible,
because I complained about it.
Lily, who goes out of her way to describe me as "unimportant" to the
world, is also wrong. E.g., I documented through my FOIA requests and
law suits that the U.S. government is infiltrated by non-American
forces and conspires against citizens. Wonder what her great
accomplishments in saving the world are.
I explained that the Tribune article is false. Why do you think
reporter Chris Smith did not want to talk to the First Amendment Center
reporter about it? Read below. Because he has a bad conscience as his article
is full of lies and portrays me and my actions deliberately in a false
light.
http://www.firstamendmentcenter.org/news.aspx?id=15428
I posted already about the "credibility" of the Salt Lake Tribune.
http://www.slweekly.com/editorial/2003/feat_2003-05-08.cfmhttp://www.slweekly.com//editorial/2004/city_2_2004-10-28.cfmhttp://tv.ksl.com/index.php?nid=5&sid=38041http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=3077http://www.ajr.org/Article.asp?id=3036
The state court judges who kicked my case out are corrupt. They
ignored all laws on my side. It is a shame that such people sit on the
bench.
And do you know below statement of Professor Freedman? He is right,
and not just federal judges but also state judges apply no or false
legal standards as I can say out of my own bitter experience with both
kind of courts.
Abuses by courts are known to the nonprofit organization "A Matter of
Justice" ("AMOJ") and they try to hold judges accountable for their
corrupt actions. AMOJ_M...@yahoogroups.com posted following recently
on the Internet: "Hofstra Law Professor Monroe Freedman said this
recently to a conference of federal judges: 'Frankly, I have had more
than enough of judicial opinions that bear no relationship whatsoever
to the cases that have been filed and argued before the judges. I am
talking about judicial opinions that falsify the facts of the cases
that have been argued, judicial opinions that falsify the facts of
cases that have been argued, judicial opinions that make disingenuous
use of omission of material authorities, judicial opinion that cover
up things with no publication and no citation-rules.' Afterwards, when
Professor Freedman sat down, a judge sitting next to him turning to
him and said: 'You don't know half of it.' (Suggesting even more
serious implication than the alleged statement by Professor Freedman.)
I explained what kind of records I requested from the government and
had many of them. I don't owe the government any money. They
fabricated $303.30 as they did not want to process FOIA requests. Even
the Tribune reporter wrote to me that they are lazy and don't want to
work.
As many of what I write on Wikipedia is constantly deleted by the
anti-religious ARS gang, I will mail this article to the Wikipedia
Board, the Information Team, Usenet and several websites.
I am sick and tired of criminal people lying about that I do what they do.

non-notable, non-encyclopedic 198.93.113.4914:29, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
It takes more than being a prolific usenet kook to make someone encyclopedic. There are thousands of crazy people posting to usenet and yes some of them are crazy enough to make the local paper every once in while. Doesn't make them notable.--
I read a lot about her since the Wikipedia article and I came to the conclusion that she is defamed but no kook. Her life is too complicated. A book needs to be written on her, not a misleading Wikipedia article. Vote: delete article. Signed: a Mormon.

Utah Court of Appeals ruled against her and evidence presented supports the Wikipedia article, here is a link to the article [16] Barbara is a notable figure in various courts throughout the United States and her contibution should be noted here. --Frankcoop10:25, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
That doesn't answer my question. anyway, there are hundreds of articles in any encyclodaedia on subjects of which I've never heard and in which I have little or no interest. I don't demand that the pages be torn out, however. Perhaps the article on the lady will be of use/interest to someone else. 212.101.64.415:58, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
You haven't applied the Google Test thoroughly enough. It is not enough merely to count the hits. It is important to see what the hits actually are. Uncle G 18:57:51, 2005-08-30 (UTC)
keep She's a celebrity in the FOIA scene. (Read the article in the Salt Lake Tribune [18]). About a deletion, ask youself "cui bono"? Barbara doesn't like the article, like she didn't like the Tribune article, which was also fair.
I read what the First Amendment Center (who has noteable judges in its board) wrote about her. The Tribune reporter denied information to the First Amendment Center. That is very odd. The Tribune was in a lot of hot water in Utah. Even the family of the governor protested against their shaby and biased reporting. The Desert News is a much better paper. Signed a Mormon
Another party who would profit from a deletion would be the scientology Organisation - a person like Barbara isn't exactly good PR. Tilman16:19, 30 August 2005 (UTC)Tilman[reply]
If I would be no good PR for Scientology, Tilman would not lie that I am no Scientologist anymore. The entire article portrays me in a false light. I am nothing as he, his friends or the Tribune describes. The Tribune is known for unfair reporting. Some of their reporters sold lies about the Elizabeth Smart family to the National Enquirer for $ 20.000. Go to the talk page of my Wikipedia article and click on the links that I provided. Remember Jayson Blair from the New York Times? He fabricated just as Christopher Smith of the Tribune did. Wikipedia should not entertain articles that show people in a false light. Take it off or put one up that is truthfully. And don't use yellow journalism as your guide.

Barbara, you wrote yourself several times that you were kicked out of scientology in 1984. You can't have it both ways. Tilman17:15, 30 August 2005 (UTC)Tilman[reply]
I explained it to Tilman before, but he does not want to enlargen his horizont. Only people who are officially excommunicated are no longer people within their religion. If a LDS bishop tells somebody to leave the ward for unruly behavior, that person is not excommunicated and still a Mormon.
Ms. Schwarz wrote that other people than Scientologists infiltrated the church and outed her but that Scientology wants her to come back. I wish she would join LDS, but she indeed is a Scientologist when she seens herself as such and was never excommunicated. Signed a mormon.
Keep Very notable in the FOIA scene. Also notable in that she is a major player in the Alt.Relgion.Scientology scene, which is clearly a point of interest given that A.R.S. also has its own entry. She is a curious facet of our modern times, and many, many internet denizens know of her and refer to her, which would cause others to seek her out on Wikipedia. There is no good reason to delete this page; unless you are Scientology, or Barbara Schwarz. Databind()20:04, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as the article is not fair. Tilman wants her to look like a nut when she indeed is highly intelligent. As more you read of her as more you get that she really is just hated because she is speaking up against opponents of Scientology.
Keep Schwarz's detailed delusional fantasies are amazing. But her incredible efforts to prove them via massive abuse of the FOIA with numerous govenment agancies and massive numbers of lawsuits, all argued pro se and all lost, sets her far apart from mere net kooks. That alone would make her newsworthy. She is now actively posting in alt.religion.scientology and brought her hyperactivity with her, and became a willing conduit of Scientology misinformation, libel and harassment. Only the Saltlake, Utah library's cutting of hours allowed on a computer there slowed her down.
She shows no signs of slowing down or going away on her own. Only lack of money and large debt to the US government over her FOIA bombings of hundreds of agencies keeps her from continuing her career as the most prolific kook of all time in regards to computerized abuse of the FOIA statutes. This bears watching, as does her penchant for lawsuits, slowed down only because of lack of money.

delete Several reasons: She is of no importance for the world. She is not a celebrity. She is mainly defamed in that article and that is what bothers me the most. An article like this, where a common person is just ridiculed, defamed and fingerpointed (I tried to reveal the reasons and some background info on the discussion page, please watch out there) is not a good reputation for the encyclopedia of the Internet community. Barbara Schwarz is a very, very common name in german speaking countries. The google-test is not fullfilled. There are already 2 Barbara Schwarz in my city's phone book! - - - Her belief is very important for her, she identifies with it. She is a dedicated and convinced scientologist, but the article does not allow to add this important information about her. The article seems to be written by scientologists, who feel ashamed of a person posing like her, but want to abuse her to check out the possibilities of further abuse of wikipedia to harass, defame and discredit people. The article is neither neutral nor justifiable and of interest only for people, who find freaks entertaining. But since she for herself finds the article not correct, we all should respect that and forget about religion. Maybe she in fact is mentally insane, I do not know. If so - it is worse, what is done to her. I can not support that, although I understand, that she can be really entertaining. - - - Please, community, let us demonstrate, that we are honestly trying our best to respect individuals, no matter of which belief (I am a critic of scientology and she is a scientologist, I would fight with her about that, but I will fight for her dignitiy as a human being as well) and don't we become part of a world, where people are treated like Barbara Schwarz and nobody protests against that, but watches for entertainment. - - - If the article should be kept, I will fight for the addition of the information, that Barbara Schwarz is most of all famous for being a scientologist. - - - I really am concerned about the activities of scientologists on wikipedia and we all know, how dangerous this cult can become for critics or members, who want to leave it. It is authoritarian, manipulative, working with fear and destructive, and uses non civilised methods to hold their's own or suppress criticism. Don't we support that. Let us show them, that society does not allow or defend or support that behaviour, but protects individuals and that human dignity is untouchable. - - - Each of us could be the next being defamed and mocked on wikipedia. Each and every of us. A kind of justification is easily written or done ("kook award", mention in a newspaper article ...). That is IMO the reason, why this article has been written at all. - - - Let us show them, that we do not tolerate that! Thank you. Lily Firered18:01, 30 August 2005 (UTC).Lily.[reply]

Delete for several reasons. Being a frequent poster to newsgroups does not establish notability in my book. Evidence is that she is known locally in Salt Lake City but not nationally.

Keep. Sock puppets shouldn't count one way or the other, especially since that'll encourage people to make strawman sockpuppets.

Keep. Schwarz often makes false and libelous claims about other persons who disagree with her, which she insists are claims of fact. However, Schwarz cannot cite substantiating evidence to verify her claims. Schwarz also is known to file frivolous and false reports to law enforcement about anyone who disagrees with her, in a similar manner to Schwarz's response to a Freedom of Information Act request that Schwarz deemed unsatisfactory (when Schwarz attempted to sue that entire Government department for not finding the evidence she wanted). This entry should be kept on file so that unaware persons are informed as to the nature of the likely credibility of any claims that Schwarz makes as statements of fact.
I don't want to go in that Scientology matter. It is not my religion, but I saw that Tilman posted on alt.religion.scientology and called all people to vote here who defame Ms. Schwarz and who lie that she would libel. She is a kind poster who just hits back when she is defamed. She does not make false statements of facts, but such are done on her, even in this Wikipedia article. I saw that she refers to several websites which webbed legal documents about the people who post on alt.religion.scientology. The majority of people who were called to vote her are expressed enemies of Scientology and of her. You would find such enemies also on us Mormons and they would leave no good hair on us.

DELETE The article on Barbara Schwarz is just harassment of her. If you could see "tilman" on alt.religion.scientology parading around about this article, you would agree he and some others have ganged up on Barbara and are using Wiki as a way to harass her. Don't allow Wiki to become a libel and defamation machine like Usenet has become. Please delete the article on Barbara Schwarz
Keep but clean up the article. Barbara Schwarz is our nation's preeminent FOIA abuser, and has made herself a willing tool of the Scientology cult's campaign to harass and libel its critics. A summary of her history and beliefs is entirely appropriate for Wikipedia. But leave out the 'Kook of the Month" nonsense; that's just namecalling. And if she still considers herself a practicing Scientologist, the article should acknowledge that. Touretzky02:02, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
SHOVEL THE ARTICLE SOME MORE
Shovel the article some more.
Dave Touretzky wrongfully claimed that I abused the FOIA system. He has no clue what my cases are about because he is so busy attacking and persecuting Scientology, study technology and drug rehabilitation.
I requested from federal agencies records pertaining to myself, Marty Rathbun or Mark de Rothschild, L. Ron Hubbard, Church of Scientology or former President Dwight David Eisenhower. I requested searches in specific offices and records systems. Some agencies found records, some mailed me some with redacted information, some wrote they would have none, but rarely any agency provided sufficient information as to what kind of search they conducted or in what time period they searched. They also often misspelled names, which is odd, because when they don't get the names straight, how can they expect me to trust their information?
I decided to request under FOIA their search records, the records that they generated during the search to see myself what they did.
The Tribune reporter told me that he found that a smart move but he of course did not write that in his crappy article.
Here is were the troubles with the feds started. Many agencies mailed me their records, and I saw that rarely anybody conducted adequate searches. I filed administrative appeals, which were not lawfully processed but the appeal authorities rather covered for the lower instances. Then I filed court cases and made the discovery that judges are not impartial but cover up lawless acts of federal workers.
The letters that I received from federal employees, the affidavits that they filed are so suspicious, and their activities so un-American that I came to the conclusion that the U.S. government is filled with workers that serve another master than the USA.

Anyway, you should know that I filed a FOIA request to all agencies of the U.S. intelligence community in October 2000 and asked them to pull the files of Osama Bin Laden. And guess what? None of them did. And be reminded that the September 11 Commission came to the conclusion that the Sept. 11 clues were in the governmental files since the late 90s. If the FOIA officers would have done their jobs on my FOIA requests instead of being lazy or corrupt, someone could have raised the alarm as to what Bin Laden's Al Queda was up to.
But an infiltrated and not really American government of course turns everything around and defames ME of all people as "FOIA terrorist". It is outrageous! It is as bad as calling Anne Frank a Nazi!
And here some more information on Dave Touretzky who usually blames the wrong target. A guy like he of course webs that crabby Tribune article because he loves yellow journalism. Before he webbed that thing he had an awful dirty article about a former Miss, Kathy Johnson on his website. He also is obsessed with bomb instructions on his sites.
He claims that the C of S uses me. Didn't Tilman Hausherr claim that I am no Scientologist? Now I am suddenly one again but this time working for the C of S? I don't work for the C of S, but I am a private Scientologist. The reason why I post on ARS is PERSONAL and not on order or request of the C of S.
Below is what Dave Touretzky has on his despicable bomb instruction, porn and religious persecutor webpage about me:
"Who is Barbara Schwarz (see article), and why is this former
president of the Church of Scientology of Germany obsessed with me? Could it be because Scientology hates my Razor article?"
There is no obsession on my part with the rat professor. And what is the
crap about the Razor article? I find Touretzky's ways wrong, don't
like that I received his harassing porn letter, don't like his bomb
instructions, and that he goes after my websites and removes them with illegal methods from the net. He is obsessed with denying free speech to me.
I don't harass, libel or defame the "critics" of Scientology. I never wrote intentionally any false information about anybody and nobody in the world can force me to do that. Most of the "critics" are fanatics who lie horrendously about L. Ron Hubbard, Scientology and me. I don't like these kind of abusers, so what I post about them is TRUE, and they don't like it. Dave Touretzky doesn't like that I post so I got a harassing porn letter with his name and address on the porn invoice, and it is the truth. I received that letter with the USPS, it still needs to be tested if Dave's DNA is in it but nothing that I posted about him or anybody else was or is untrue.
In other words, that Dave Touretzky or others wrote that I libel or harass is libel and harassment of their parts, not of mine.

Again you are turning around the facts, Mike Gormez. Scientology is of course not clueless about her. She was the general manager of that cult in Germany.

Keep but revise substantially. Schwarz is a well known figure in legal circles due to her massive amount of litigation which is barely touched on in the article. This dates from long before her Usenet presence. She gets tons of Google hits and should expect to be in the public eye since she thrust herself into it. Her current doings on Usenet are of much less interest. Phr00:40, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and hold it right there, Phr. I made some research on her. I found out that she only posts because she was defamed on Usenet BEFORE she ever posted. Filing FOIA requests and legal cases does not mean that she thrust herself into the public eye. I found no website in which Barbara Schwarz tried to get attention. She can't be blamed for other people putting her on the web and the press chasing her. She raised a very good point herself. Is she a public figure per legal definition or does she deserve privacy?

If an Al Queda guy kicks a Jew out of a Jewish synagogue, does that mean that the Jew is not more Jewish? I was not kicked out by a Scientologist but by infiltrators, the same people who write distorted and false articles about me.

That is why the article clearly states, "Barbara says she is a Scientologist". Ms. Schwarz doesn't attend church services or any other services at the Church of Scientology and she admits she was booted out of the organization. Whoever booted her out apparently had the authority of the Church of Scientology to boot her, so it matters not if Barbara calls them "infiltrators" or "psyche trolls" or "Nazis".

I used the nickname "vivaldi" before most people even heard of the internet. It was one of my first USERIDs (and the id part of my e-mail) on an IBM Mainframe running VM/CMS on BITNET clear back in 1989. This is a non-sensical argument anyway. There is absolutely no confusion between myself and Barbara Schwarz. I am not a forger. Barbara is lying about that. The website she is referring to specifically stated that the Barbara Schwarz being discussed was not the same woman that posted on usenet and lived in Salt Lake. It was a completely different person and Barbara has been told this many times. I am not 11 years old. I'm over 30. Barbara and her stalker friend Patrick Michael Sullivan have "outed" me numerous times as various different people and they continue to harass and telephone these people (who they believe to be me) in real life and harass their aged parents. I'm far from retarded, as I am a Kansas Honor Scholar and I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering from a major university. This is not the first time that Barbara has libeled me by calling me a criminal. I've asked her numerous times to call my county Sheriff and report my crimes and I gave Ms. Schwarz his phone number to do so. I also provided her with the phone number for the FBI after she claimed my crimes somehow were under federal jurisdiction. Barbara refuses to call the authorities to report the crimes she says I am committing. Please Ms. Schwarz, if I am committing a crime NOTIFY THE POLICE -- stating it here on Wikipedia isn't a likely method to get me locked up for my supposed crimes.

I am Mormon and this here is my beloved church: http://www.lds.org/
I accidentally run in this article about Ms. Schwarz because there is a LOT of noise on Usenet about. I noticed that Mr. Tilman and others overwrite any impartial and correct information on that lady, which I find very unfair. The LDS religion is a minority under the world religions too, Ms. Karma, and I noticed that my church is also defamed in the usegroups that beat up on Ms. Barbara Schwarz. And I also know that the Salt Lake Tribune is no good newspaper. They have a history of scandals.
I noticed on your Userpage that you are having mental problems, Karma, and that is the reason I will not challenge you further, but please don't make false statements anymore.

Where is the evidence that I filed thousands of FOIA requests? You have to order the FOIA logs from the U.S. agency from 1998 through 2001 and count their entries. Those are just a few hundreds.

I don't like that there is not in it what these agencies and psychs did to me, e.g. beating me up, breaking my arm twice, taking my money away, and the German crimes, that German District attorney kidnapped me from Copenhagen, made false charges up AFTER I was arrested, that I was beaten up by German police, that I was not allowed to an attorney while the German corrupt government issued one decree after the other against me to which I could not defend myself, that I was never crazy, and when I was, it is the fault of the German government and psychs who treated me as badly as the century Jew. It also needs to me mentioned that I was kidnapped to be deprogrammed later. I posted in the voting section of Wikipedia a long article with those details.
Tilman does not want the crimes of his government and friends in this article as he has to protect them. It is is order as OPC agent.

This is a vanity page created about (and most likely by) a college student who was very clever in finding a number of security holes earlier this year but has no real notability. It squeaked through a VfD in March with very few votes either way, but nothing has been added to the article since and there are no significant links to it. I think it's time to re-evaluate the VfD (I vote to Delete). –Shoaler (talk) 17:03, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete; Tim Pope is correct. If we do have an article about this, it should be about the guy's prof: "Students of iconoclastic computer scientist Daniel Bernstein have found some 44 security flaws in various Unix applications, according to a list of advisories posted online."

I have already added "member states" to the title. The EU did not compete at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and this is only such article for an entity which did not compete. The only reason to create this was to support the idea that it should do so, which is a propaganda aim which cannot be made neutral through the phrasing of the article. For non-propaganda purposes this article is of no more relevance than Countries beginning with the letter G at the 2004 Summer Olympics, and much less relevance than Europe at the 2004 Summer Olympics or Africa at the 2004 Summer Olympics. Before voting, please consider whether you would support such articles for NAFTA, ASEAN, or such entities in your part of the world. DeleteOsomec19:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a fantasy league. And Canada would sweep the Commonwealth Winter Games if there were such an event, but there isn't. Ground Zero | t19:30, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The simple listing of member states is not particularly useful and redundant with (presumably) many other articles. The interpretation required to reach the first bullet point of conclusions is fairly minimal, but relies on assumptions like each athlete still training in the same way, still being funded etc etc. The second bullet is pure speculation. Thus, all the non-repetitive material in the article is original research, and should go per WP:NOR. -Splash22:05, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep - For no more reason than I think it's quite interesting. Comparing it to a fictional article entitled Countries beginning with the letter G at the 2004 Summer Olympics is silly, IMO. if the Countries beginning with the letter G had a parliament and were politically related, I could see your point. Particularly if the head of the CBWTLG alliance made comments to do with a united team. I also don't believe the page supports the EU should enter a single team - I don't believe they should. And I, personally, would support a similar page to do with Africa at the Olympics. 2004 Summer Olympics medals count by International Organization states that as a united force the African Union won 8 medals, and I believe an article about the African nations at the Olympics could expand that information. Halo22:48, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep this interesting material, no reason to delete. Possibly rename or reorganize if a better title is suggested. Christopher Parham(talk) 04:46, 2005 August 31 (UTC)
Like I said above it relys on assumptions for a start, so doesn't have such a strong basis in fact as it might appear. The second bullet point is entirely speculative — there's no evidenciary justification, other than intuition, for its contents. We are presented with someone's reasoning, and that doesn't clear the factual threshold, or the WP:NOR threshold. -Splash14:33, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
So you find it consistent with that article. So why deleting an article that gives details ? Useful info, no? Really,I don't understand your point and would like to know what are the *real* motives for deletion, behind the rationalizations. --Pgreenfinch06:56, 1 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge. I'm not sure with what, but it seems like people really are interested in odd groupings of countries at Olympic games, like by continent, or language group, so I don't object to the list, but it definitely does not merit it's own article. Peter Grey16:20, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Perhaps there should be a general listing of all the countries which took part in Athens. However those which are member states of the EU is an irrelevance - technically all nations are equal at the Olympic Games. Rhyddfrydol22:35, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Question - were any EU member nations not represented at the 2004 Summer Olympics - if all the EU member states were at Athens - why not simply have a list of all EU members on an EU page. Therefore as per my previous entry deleteRhyddfrydol22:39, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The existence of this article is inherently POV as per nominator; 2004 Summer Olympics medals count by International Organization covers the factual content already. The number of medals actually won by the EU member nations is not original research, but presenting that information as though it meant "EU citizens are the world's greatest athletes" is POV. --Metropolitan90 07:20, September 3, 2005 (UTC)
On the contrary, suppressing an article that gives the pros and cons of that statement, made officially btw, would be POV and anti-encyclopedic. --Pgreenfinch12:34, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
'Merge' with Sports in the European Union, the EU is often used when comparisons are being made between the members, and I think the information is quite interesting, the data is readily available and not original research, Prodi has himself commented on it, I do not think it's pushing a POV that either the EU is one unified country or that it was represented at the 2004 olympics, nor do I think that it's pushing a POV that the EU has the greatest atheletes. -- Joolz14:19, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Nothing wrong with this, and the article doesn't give the misleading impression that there is an EU team of some kind. It's a valid topic, and looking through the article I don't see any POV problems. — Trilobite14:45, 3 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Rename and develop. The proposal by Romano Prodi was real. The controversy in (mainly UK) papers at the time was real. The medal counts are real. This subject deserves an article - but perhaps with a different title. How about something like "EU and the Olympics" or "Proposals for an EU Olympics team". This could then give the medal results of EU member states at past games, along with a treatment of arguments against the proposals. Seabhcán15:05, 3 September 2005 (UTC) PS. The Spanish and French Wikipedias have similar articles. PPS. The IOC "does not officially recognize national medal totals"[21] - so ANY medal total information are technically invalid - or put another way - this page is as valid as any other.[reply]

Comment - The authenticity of this page is in dispute. Apparently, there is a real Lake Wobegon effect, and there is a real Ola Svenson (googling on the name "Ola Svenson" in conjunction with "Wobegon" produces a few google hits, all of which cite an academic paper written by Ola Svenson in 1981. This page was originally flagged for a speedy delete, claiming it as an obvious hoax. I'm not 100% certain of that, given the seeming existence of the "Lake Wobegon effect" as an apparently genuine term used in the psychological sciences.
Of course, it may very well be a hoax. I'm not saying it isn't. I'm just not convinced beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is. So I've removed the "Speedy Delete" flag and put it up for a vote. Extreme Unction21:16, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Nah, you were probably right to take it here; sometimes it's not that easy to tell. Let it remain for the normal duration of the VfD. If we're lucky, somebody may actually turn it into an article on the real Ola Svenson. If not, nothing is really lost. Uppland01:38, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. So she published a paper. Nothing special. I can't even find her on the Uni's website; they don't appear to have a psychology department for a start. Having a 'famous' big sister does nothing for you. Notability is not inherited. I turned up no Googles on a join Uni+name search. So we have WP:V problems for a start and WP:PROF problems at the end. Supposing she's even a prof. -Splash23:24, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The (near-nonsensical) pseudo-academic jargon may give the impression of legitimacy, but that Ola is claimed to have have a brother who is a noted "ichthyologist who did a dissertation on the illusive characteristics of Lutefisk and also did a comparative study on the puzzling relationship between aquavit and lutefisk" gives it away as a joke. Ola is a male name, BTW, but it's a common mistake among non-Scandinavians to assume the opposite. Ola Svenson is a real Swedish psychologist (born 1939), a professor at Stockholm University, and has published quite a lot (homepage). He probably deserves an article, but this is not it. Delete unless rewritten to be about the real Ola Svenson. Uppland00:57, 31 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

An advert for a book with a "limited edition/first printing" run of 270 copies. One question mark is a British Fantasy Award 2004-nominated story included within it. However, overall this is below my notability radar.
Delete. These articles, and there are many of them now, are the doing of Sean Wright, someone who is using Wikipedia as a marketing tool. His articles are full of half truths, spin, lack of neutrality, and general rubbish. Connor Wolf23:50, 2 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No, Connor, old son. You have the facts terribly twisted - YOU are the one using Wikipedia to raise your own profile. Just a quick look at your history reveals a sick Sean Wright obsession. My sorrow and sympathy for you is growing daily. And...you said you were giving up the charade, but YOU lie, my friend. Please give my regards to Uncle David and Aunty John.

Delete. Advertising. Also, that story will never become true as I really don't know any good work with so many volumes filled with that kind of bad ideas that had success and/or the writer could even finished the collection. Imaginarians? Just another story in which the topic is the battle and interaction between the "real" world (it isn't actually real, because it's real only in the story thus, in the imagination!!!) vs. imagination world. --Neigel von Teighen23:35, 30 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
