I know some great Jens too - but I really can't see how this is notable --Doc (?) 00:28, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Wikipedia is not advertising/self-promotion. --bainer (talk) 00:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment: The author did not add the page, I did. I mentioned this in the talk page. I won't vote because I did add the article, however I did think it was an interesting site worth a mention, as there are other "as interesting" sites on wiki.

Delete' unless evidence is presented that it's a well-known site. But too bad it's not the Jengodcyclopedia. Then it would be worth an extreme keep. -- Decumanus 01:56, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

Delete as non-encyclopedic. — JIP | Talk 10:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete - It is a website that is not well known (in the U.S. at least, don't know about England or the UK). I would vote against deletion, if this was a piece of published work instead of a website. Besides, nothing links here (what article would?) —Kjammer 10:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kae

Fan speculation on Star Wars game. --Denni ☯ 17:27, 2005 May 22 (UTC)

If valid, it probably should be merged into the Darth Traya page. But it looks too much like pure speculation, and so I vote to delete. — 18:32, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
Delete or Merge. There is already a Darth Traya article on Wikipedia that includes most of the information on this article. What isn't on the Darth Traya article that is present here, appears to be pure speculation, as I do not recall any mention of living quarters on Coruscant or about Yavin 4 in KotOR II. However, if this information can be backed up, it should be merged with the Darth Traya article. --Nufy8 00:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Merge and Delete. Most of this is plausible enough, but so much of it is unsourced, and AFAIK, the only source for these events are the games themselves, and I'm pretty sure that I didn't miss that much of her backstory. So bring in the confirmable details, and rm the rest. --maru 02:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

KEEP - This is the coolest article ever! Keep it, and you guys, stop whining about sources etc. just enjoy they article, and stop complaining!

Comment And by that logic, we should let every piece of crap article that some newbie writes stay, because its "teh coolest article EVAH!" Its not a canon source and has no place here.--Kross 10:22, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Delete As far as I know (and I've been playing KOTRII alot lately), there is no actual information on Kae. She's mentioned as one of the Jedi Masters that taught Revan and thats one of the few times she's mentioned in the game. Its believed that Kae is Krea/Darth Traya, but I'm not sure.--Kross 10:22, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

Delete - This is far too speculative, and cites no sources. None of this is backed up by the game, and can at best be considered only a weak implication.

Comment Again You loser, just get a life. Stop critisizing other people when you don't even know if it is false misinformation. This site would be better without people like you, Kross

I have common sense - Hey, Kross, just to tell you, I agree with you fully. Well, almost fully. You have made a good point about how newbies should not write fake stuff and put it up. Well, this is actually quite a good article, and if you cant even use you brain for once, it is backed up by the book: 'A guide to Kotor', which is both approved of and congratulated by Lucas Arts as a 'G-Canon'. Anyway, don't call this newbie stuff, the expanded universe is newbie, that load of absolute crap and garbage, so go insult yorself and stop being a low life.
- Comment. Interesting. The KotOR II strategy guide says little to nothing about Kae's background - which includes lack of information on her supposed stay on Coruscant, as well as her alleged trip to Yavin 4. And, although I do not own the original KotOR strategy guide, I highly doubt it reveals information on a character that wouldn't even make an appearance until the next year. Oh, and a guide to a Star Wars videogame being G-Canon? Maybe that's a typo, because G-Canon refers to the movies, their scripts, the novelizations of the movies, and the radio plays based on the movies. Not videogame guides. Nufy8 04:28, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - It would be C canon at best, but is most likely S or N. Alphax ^τεχ 10:30, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

A series of articles on Imperial Japan in broken English

The following bunch of articles, covered by separate votes for deletion, IMO must be handled together.

It looks like someone took an old book on Imperial Japan and split it into a large number of article. All of them of the same quality and use: it sems that all of them cover data for past time. While pieces of them may be salvageable into corresponding articles with proper titles, in this form they are inadmissible in main article space. mikka (t) 01:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

One may also want to keep an eye on other cotributions of the anon. mikka (t) 01:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I do. I see no reason to make a mass deletion here. By putting these on VfD, rather than clean-up, you have prevented any moving to better titles, or merging. Charles Matthews
  - No I did not. see, eg my nomination at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Japanese Culture,religion and Education. If you need these pages for further work, please put them into your own user space as subpages. mikka (t) 17:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete all. If someone wants to work ith them, put into personal subpage. mikka (t) 01:29, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete the whole bunch. I did vote to delete on all of the individual VfDs, already, but in the interests of clarity and expediency, I figure I may as well voice the vote here, too. Seriously: the language is mangled enough that it might as well be nonsense. I honestly cannot make heads or tails of any of it, and I seriously doubt anyone could salvage anything from this mess. -- Captain Disdain 01:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete all. These all read like a bad Babelfish translation. AиDя01D TALK EMAIL 03:13, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
Exteremly Strong Keep!: I understand the tendency, because I ran into one of these. However, please check out User:Charles_Matthews/Imperial_Japan. These contributions are made by a spanish speaker providing information out of sources no longer in print. There are several people working on them (for instance, you can check the results at Nakamura_Diary.) Personally I've been working on Reformed Government of the Republic of China. You can see my discussion with User:Charles Matthews about this subect in the talk page. Wikibofh 03:34, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

then they should write them in spanish and have some who can speak english translate them before adding them as articles. i'm going to move the lot into my user page and see what i can do, though. Nateji77 13:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment:My problem with Userfying them is that then they end up in the widely ignored userspace. There is enough work here that it needs to be someplace where people can stumble upon them and work at cleaning them up (which is what I did). We need the strength in numbers, because it's hard work. It would take me a long time (if ever) if they were just in my user space (or anyone elses). I'd rather see the wiki at work. Wikibofh 14:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment Isn't it policy acceptable to put them into articlespace as something like "Imperial Japan Finances/temp". Then post any of the cleaned content to date, a note about their origin and state of development in "Imperial Japan Finances" page with a link to the temp pages? --Un focused 15:35, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

If these are reliable data are from valuable, out-of-print sources, perhaps the editor should at least *cite* the source so they have some appearance of verifiability. I don't know how you can tell what source these are from though... perhaps private correspondence? --Tabor 17:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Here is the bibliography that Charles Matthews has. Wikibofh 20:07, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As I stated below on a similar comment, this makes little sense to me because (a) Charles Matthews is not contributing the foundation articles and (b) this is a general bibliography on the topic which makes no particular connection with any of the articles. I'm asking about the sources that User:Wlad k or IP number 200.46.X.Y or whatever he chooses to call himself is using. By this logic, I could write anything at all in these articles, and because Charles Matthews has a bibliography in his userspace, it would be considered sourced information. --Tabor 02:00, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

*Userfy. You should take these to a user subpage as a workspace for cleanup. Because these are so difficult to read, they're too raw to be articles. Otherwise, I think you'll spend all your time fighting off VfDs. Userfying them will let you develop them, and post them back as new articles when they've had a basic cleanup. That doesn't mean you have to wait until they're fully done, but they should at least be a short overview of a topic. You could then post the remaining raw data onto the article's talk page to allow for collaboration without exposing the severely broken english in main article pages. --Un focused 03:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Again I say, delete and resubmit in the English language. EDM 04:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless Wikibofh rewrites them into English before the 5 day period is up. Rick K 05:39, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

Comment: *laugh* I couldn't even clean up Reformed Government of the Republic of China in the 5 day window (now at 4 days :) Wikibofh 14:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Could I ask for clarification ? As a realtively new user, is it policy that articles which do not meet certain qquality standards, but on which work is being done, be deleted completely until they reach such standards, rather than marking them with requests for assistance, and allowing organic development of the entries ? --Simon Cursitor 07:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Precedent says no that isn't a policy. Wikipedia is a work in progress and thus contains thousands of articles of a visibly sub-par nature. However as Wikipedia slowly matures, and its editor base changes, the average amount of patience that the user base has with such articles has diminished. "Modify in user-space" is becoming a more common and acceptable suggestion" but I think everyone continues to agree that we don't won't to lose material. Pcb21| Pete 13:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - Thank you for the clarification --Simon Cursitor 15:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. The correct course of action, marking them for cleanup, has already been done. Almafeta 06:36, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Userfy all of them and work on them until there is a correct English version of this that makes sense. None of these currently belong in the main namespace, and either way a lot of the titles have spelling mistakes. --Idont Havaname 06:59, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Userfy artilce in this condition don't belong in the main namespace. --nixie 07:10, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Cleanup or use as a source. Information may be relevant but unfortunately the articles are really in very shoddy condition. People willing to work on them could move them to temp or user pages or use them, for example, as a source for articles like Empire of Japan. I do not think complete deletion would be in order - Skysmith 08:56, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete all, articles aren't up to encyclopedic quality. JamesBurns 09:14, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete the lot. — JIP | Talk 10:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep the information. Please do not throw out the baby with the dirty bathwater. Pcb21| Pete 10:12, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete the lot. I'm sure the author had the best of intentions and put a lot of work into this, but it's just too indecipherable to make out anything useful or flag it for cleanup. Jamyskis 10:33, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep or userfy if people are working on them but they are in need of clean-up and after that movement to better titles. -- Lochaber 13:01, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep, clean up of course. Anything that is not worth keeping in its cleaned-up state is naturally subject to being deleted. I can't understand why people say 'delete' before those who would be interested in cleaning up, rationalising and editing the material have their change. By the way, the author is a prolific contributor, with a track record of digging up much useful research from contemporary sources. Empire of Japan (additional economic and financial data) has already been substantially cleaned up. I protest at its inclusion at the end of the list of others. Charles Matthews 13:04, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- The reason I would vote 'delete' before cleanup is that it seems to me that cleanup would require some mindreading as to what the contributor meant by much of the existing phrasing. The contributions are neither in English nor in a language that can be translated into English. EDM 17:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment i cleaned up one of the articles here; so far it doesnt seem to be worth the effort, but i'll take a look at the others, see what turns up. Nateji77 14:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment Maybe it's because of my degree in Finance, but I find your cleanup efforts laudable and worthwhile. --Unfocused 15:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - yeah, but things like "the heavy industrial amplified by ones 400%"--is that revenue or assest value? the cochinglish doesnt turn me off, is the vagueness the articles would have even if they were written in native english. Nateji77 09:42, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Temporary keep: keep for now, but relist the lot here in a month's time, at which time any articles not cleaned up should be deleted. Since the current contents of many of these articles are baffling, this current vote's decision should not bind any future vote: the articles may be deletable on other grounds, once they've been tidied. -- Karada 15:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete or Userfy unless more information about the source of this information can be obtained. I have two general problems with these articles. One is that much of the material is so garbled, I don't see how it can be reliably cleaned up. Sure, you can take some wild guesses at what the editor meant, but basically the original has been run through a distortion filter. How can this information be dependable? The second concerns the original sources. Especially in a case such as this, the source should be cited for verifiability. Somehow "This is what I think someone who doesn't speak English was trying to relate from uncited sources that cannot be checked" does not seem to be a dependable standard. For example:

in Chosen Province,the most great and important of your exterior areas residing ones 25,000,000,000(1944 census)between theirs stay one 3% of Japanese residents,why served in government,commerce,industry and Military services.exist one Chinese and Manchu little minority another Koreans living in proper japan,Manchuria and Russian Siberia.

Is there a serious suggestion that that the population of this province was 25 billion, or if the number does not refer to population, to what does it refer? Keep in mind, all this data is coming from (an) uncited source(s). --Tabor 17:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Here is the bibliography that Charles Matthews has. I would agree that the population of 25 billion is probably on the high side. :) Wikibofh 20:09, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I don't quite understand this comment, because Charles Matthews is not the person submitting the garbled articles. This is a general all-purpose bibliography on Imperial Japan. It does not tell us where the contributor's many specific facts and figures came from. I think making something verifiable and identifying the source of data requires a bit more precision than a general purpose bibliography in userspace that is not specifically connected to any of the articles. --Tabor 01:46, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. Clearly these are substandard, but this is grounds for cleanup, not deletion. ··gracefool |☺ 00:59, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. I've thought about this, and to me, the progress already evident on these articles are a prime example of how a Wiki works. However, each and every one of these should be moved to an article title appropriate for what the core editors believe will be the end result. If you later find your guess was wrong, move them again. ;) Un focused 01:25, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete, and resubmit if they're in English. My day job is checking English translations done by Japanese engineers, and nothing I've seen on the job has been as bad as these. These are too garbled to be even minimally acceptable, and any acceptable "clean-up" would have to be a complete replacement of the text. --Calton | Talk 07:07, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep, Imperial Japan is extremely noteworthy, but repair the translations. ~~~~ 17:09, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Userfy / Move to temporary space I have worked on a few of these articles and have two strong concerns.

With the original text in Japanese and the contributor being a spanish speaker we are looking at three translation steps here: Japanese → Spanish → broken English → English. When working on the broken English I've been worried that I have been at risk of changing the original information. Quite honestly, I concluded that the integrity of the information was getting compromised as a result of the multiple translation steps.
The contributor is highly prolific. A look at User:Charles_Matthews/Imperial_Japan reveals several dozen articles and content seems to be added daily. The sheer volume of fixing them combined with the risks of information loss/distortion suggest that the issue of problematic articles from this source will persist and likely grow unless the Wikipedia community comes up with a way to actively manage it. I don't think we should delete this information, but we should quarantine it for further work. If we do nothing, I fear we'll be back here in a month having the same conversation but with an even longer list of articles. Even worse, I fear we'll end up with a bunch of articles that have been cleaned up from broken English but are full of inaccuracies because none of the translation can be confirmed.

Tobycat 23:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Keep in mind that if this is just a translation (however bad) of a work protected by copyright, it would be copyvio. --Tabor 01:54, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete Too many problems; complete rewrite needed, lack of sources plus inability to learn sources due to contributor anonymity and poor language skills, potentially copyvio, inability to determine copyvio status. If people want to, they could be userfied and merged but the source and copyvio questions remain very pertinent, with no likely resolution DirectorStratton 02:20, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)

Strong delete drini ☎ 17:36, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep There is nothing wrong with tagging such as stubs, clean. Suspecting a copyright problem is not proof one has occured. Futhermore, if these are translations, copyrights devolve to the translator, iirc, which makes Copyvio moot.
- I should be able to attend to some cleansing as I continue working through Russo-Japanese War related artys, whereon, I have no less than eight references spanning six decades, about half of which treat some of these topics (Based on a quick peek at the Vfd nominees). I'm not sure why some Artys seem imcomprehensible -- apparently those voters lack contextual knowledge, and should perhaps exercise more discretion. Several of the articles are especially bad in that they are period focused (circa WW-II ands aftermath) without refering to prior or subsequent (to current days) history, but that merely confirms their status as a stub needing expansion.
- Timeframe of five days might be suitable to a student's life, assuming one was prone to ignore classwork and Wiki full time, which I hope seldom happens. So expecting such ultra-rapid clean up by contributors that are also provinding family members would pretty much kill off a lot of slow developing wiki-improvements, as we do have lives outside Wikipedia.
- Spelling Mistakes was mentioned above, to which I need to add two comments. 1) Correct Spelling is an abstract ideal. Language drift has altered correct usages a lot in my 50 years, and so too have meanings changed. Take the term Wicked, use of a phrase like "She's Wicked" refered more to 'being bad, only worse and evil to boot' than today's usage (not to mention the uses of the word Bad these days). One problem with my work on the Russo-Japanese war, is that there are five different languages involved: Russian, Chinese, Brittish, Japanese, and American. Then again, one author noted that there were no less than eight different English renderings of a single Russian Admirals name; bad spellings (and typos) in sum, will be corrected. Ususally inside 45 minutes if MY Experience is a reliable measure! Fabartus 00:43, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep Hey, just because someone doesn't have perfect English doesn't mean you have to ignore what they wrote. But these articles have to be cleaned up. And other articles have to link to these articles, too, or no one will ever see them ,and that wouldn't be a good thing. Pufferfish101 04:16, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. These articles are impossible. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:07, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep and clean up. DS1953 22:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Polygon sum conjecture

It is well known that the sum of angles of a triangle is 180 degrees, for a quadrilateral it is 360 degrees, and for a polygon with n sides it is 180*(n-2). This is not a conjecture, rather a very easy to prove theorem. So, this article is a hoax. Shall we have it deleted? Oleg Alexandrov 01:16, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Personally, really, I'd favour a full explication and working out of the conjecture itself - seemingly-simple questions such as "what is 1 + 1" and "how many degrees are in a circle" can be expanded to really interesting fields of math, but, as is, the article has nothing. It seems like it could be something interesting, but, until it is, it's less than nothing. 216.158.31.195 17:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Redirect to Polygon. "Polygon sum conjecture" is a misnomer, but it seems to be a misnomer with some currency. Someone who encountered this phrase might look it up in Wikipedia; it would be good if they found an article that explained that the "conjecture" is actually a long-established theorem. -- Dominus 20:03, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Redirect if people actually use this. Those who do will be educated when they are redirected to the correct title. No Account
Redirect seems to be school curriculum of some sort, a method of teaching elementary geometry: one forms a conjecture, and then one proves it.

Roman letters used in mathematics

The answer to this article is all! The article limited itself to two, unfortunately. Oleg Alexandrov 01:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Where did you see two? owever one has to admit that the article has certain merit: there do exist certain conventions, like xyz are for unknowns, abc are for knowns, ijklmn are for integer counters, etc. $\mathbb {R}$ $\mathbb {R}$ is guess what? It would be a good idea to collect all Typographical conventions in mathematical formulae, like, $\sum$ $\sum$ , $\nabla$ $\nabla$ , $\aleph$ $\aleph$ , $\iff$ $\iff$ , etc., into one place mikka (t) 02:15, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- You mean like Table of mathematical symbols? AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 03:07, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  - No, I did not mean it. math symbols are special symbols like $\iff$ $\iff$ or $\cup$ $\cup$ , and they are only part of math conventions. Letters of various alphabets have some predefined meanings in math. mikka (t) 14:54, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    - Table of mathematical symbols already contains letters of various alphabets, although it is certainly not complete. I can now see how this article and its Greek counterpart could be useful, although this whole set of articles could use some instensive re-organization – there are gaps in some places and duplications in others.

Tourism in Italy

As it now stands, this article is a tiny stub not about Tourism in Italy, but about Italy; and historically, the article has been a magnet for link spam. There is nothing in this that, if it has any value at all, doesn't belong under Italy. An article about Tourism in Italy would presumably be about the encouragement of tourism, tourism incentives, the tourism business, revenues from tourism, the breakdown of what kind of tourists they get, etc. Nobody is writing this — I'm not about to — and if someone does, at least until it gets substantial, it can be put as a section under Italy.

I have indeed heard of Rome (on which my own website runs to 600 pages), Venice, etc. All of these places have their own articles. "Tourism in Italy" suggests, not to belabor the point, that the article is about tourism, in Italy. Which this article, currently, is not. I agree with Gracefool that it could easily become a long article: but with not one shred of the stuff currently in it. (Hint: you want an article about tourism in Italy, write it yourself! The hotel industry, the economic impact of tourism, the foreign currency brought into the country, the training of hotelkeepers and restaurateurs, the value of tourism for the country's image, the government institutes that train tourism workers, endless etc.'s, absolutely: no shortage of material. Have at it!) But vague comments about Florence, and link spam to whatever website owner (out of many thousands out there) happens to add here, and hyperbole about how beautiful Italy is and how much stuff it's got (couldn't agree more), doesn't make an article....

Keep Good Stub start for what can be a whole series of interesting Artys. Could act as a magnet for tentative editors as people planning a trip stumble across and add to it. Suggest the flaming sarcasims above be avoided in future discussions. An article on tourism will definitely have a whole different format and set of acceptable editorial practices than a factual article on Italy. The later would certainly be dotted with GDP, Resources, Population, and other statistical compilations, whereas the tourism article would focus pretty much on fun stuff. If someone is severely insulted by it's short nature, I daresay a visit to the local library will turn up several references that can lead to expansion.
- wrt this (opening) comment: "An article about Tourism in Italy would presumably be about the encouragement of tourism, tourism incentives, the tourism business, revenues from tourism, the breakdown of what kind of tourists they get, etc.", This article should perhaps be renamed Tourism In Italy (Guide) as I interpret the authors intent, with the drier factual matters allocated to a heading in the Italy article.

Keep. Magazine by a major UK publisher, audited circulation more than 24,000 (ABC, Jul-Dec 2004) one year after its introduction. That's good circulation in the UK market for a specialist niche magazine. The content needs a severe editing (yes, it's obviously intended as an ad) but it shouldn't be deleted. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:39, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete advertising. If anyone wants to write an encyclopedic article about this publication, they may do so at any time. If Tony Sidaway thinks we need an article on it but doesn't want to start it himself, he should post it as an requested article. Leaving this article in place does no good. Acorns may grow into oaks, but artificial Christmas trees do not. Dpbsmith (talk) 16:27, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. I think you'll find that this is incorrect. If you visit the article right now you'll see that a perfectly good stub has been created by the simple expedient of deleting the trash. I've never understood the "slash and burn" approach to unwanted content. If an article contains stuff you don't like, delete that content, you don't even need to come to VfD to do that. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 23:31, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Policy is here: Wikipedia:Deletion policy -- vanity articles are supposed to go through the VfD process. I seem to remember a squabble over changing the policy a few months ago, but it was decided not to make vanity speediable. Antandrus (talk) 03:58, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - The poll is at Wikipedia:Proposal_to_expand_WP:CSD/Proposal_III_(Vanity_articles). It failed with only 44% support while 80% was needed to pass. Basically many users preferred see ten blatant vanity articles go through a long VfD process and finally get deleted, in order to save the one article which looked like vanity but actually was notable. But this is clearly vanity, even with a level 53 human paladin, so ~~delete~~ from me. Sjakkalle (Check!) 06:48, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC) Redirect to Toni Collette is perhaps a better option yes.

  - If you need one: He's notable enough for Wikipedia. Almafeta 06:08, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    - That's not an explanation, that's just a restatement of what you already said. An explanation would state why you think he's notable.----Isaac R 01:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    - I think "keep" votes need not be explained - articles are presumptively to be kept, unless they can be shown to lack encyclopedic criteria. The burden is on the person voting "delete" to justify their vote (as I have below). -- BD2412 ^talk 14:06, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
      - But that isn't going to convince anyone to change their mind or vote keep; a really cogent explanation might.RJFJR 16:52, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
      - There's no rule that says you have to explain your votes -- but maybe there should be. Even though we call our opinions "votes", we're not counting heads here. We're supposed to be building a consensus. If people just throw out their opinions without trying to participate in the discussion, they're showing no interest in consensus building. If nobody's interested in consensus building, then we're all wasting our time! ----Isaac R 01:20, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        Wikipedia:Guide to Votes for Deletion says, For best results, please show your working to indicate the reasoning underpinning your vote. This allows others to suggest compromises if necessary, or to point out alternative courses of action that might not yet have been considered. It also allows administrators to determine, at the end of the discussion, whether your concerns have been addressed, and whether your comments still apply after a rewrite of or a significant change to the article that occurred subsequently.. Rick K 04:11, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. WP is not a geneology database. I can understand royal lineages, but I don't think we need a separate article for each relative of each notable person.

Tolkien metal

All these bullshit metal "genres" have to go. While metal bands frequently employ lyrics derived or inspired by Tolkien's literature, this is not enough to warrant the declaration of a new genre. The only band that has a consistent Tolkien theme is Summoning, and even so, their music is not identified as "Tolkien metal" by them or their fans. What this page lacks in information it more than compensates for in inaccuracies. The only ostensible connection between Isengard and "Tolkien metal" is the band's name; Isengard is a folk metal side project of Darkthrone's Fenriz. OnwardToGolgotha 05:58, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Weak keep. Some of the bands appear to describe themselves that way, and I see some metal e-zine results. A lot of the results are Wikipedia mirrors though (and there are quite a lot of them), however. I don't see any harm done in leaving it here; it appears legitimate. --Idont Havaname 06:46, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- Mithril has nothing to do with the music, though. I suspect a joke. :-) --Idont Havaname 18:34, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - It's not a joke... when I hear the term 'tolkien metal', what I think of is 'mithril' rather than some obscure subgenre of music. I do realize it's silly though :) And yes, I did mean delete & redirect. Radiant_>|< 01:54, Jun 18, 2005 (UTC)
    - Well, joke redirects have their own special place. We did have somebody trying to redirect Culture of England to Pub. And, er... yes... there is one page of Google hits for "mithril" + "Tolkien metal". --Idont Havaname 06:18, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Weak Keep I have heard this term used before, but I'm not sure where. Falphin 19:44, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Delete. As other editors have said, it's pretty much a fake genre. (For those above, note that "redirect" votes will essentially count as "keep"s.) Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 19:52, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Is this because Mithril has nothing at all to do with the music genre called "Tolkien metal"? --Idont Havaname 02:41, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - No, it's just that, as the Guide to Votes for deletion explains: "There are thus just two basic votes: Keep, indicating that you wish the article and its edit history to be kept; Delete, indicating that you wish the article and its edit history to be deleted. All other votes are simply shorthands for one of those two actions". ""Redirect to Example" is a shorthand for "Keep and change into a redirect article pointing to Example"." Admins generally count redirect votes as keeps, despite the firther explanation: "A voter who votes "Redirect" usually does so in the belief that whilst the article's content is discardable, a redirect should exist to redirect readers who use that article title to a more complete, more general, or simply pre-existing article." Personally, I take that to be much more on the "delete" side of things, but I'm in a minority I think. Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 20:55, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    - I would hope—in a perhaps somewhat forlorn and futile manner—that any closing sysop would have the sense to read the redirect to mithril votes as delete and create redirect (another permissible vote), rather than keep. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 21:29, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      - For the benefit of the sysop, that's essentially what my redirect vote meant... although, frankly, I'm not sure it much matters whether the history is kept or discarded, if the term is a redirect. -- BD2412 ^talk 18:44, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)

Redirect to the real De Montfort University.

Have DeMontfort University and Richter Hall merged, as three separate comics popular in the furry fandom (The Class Menagerie, i.s.o. and The Suburban Jungle) include them both as locations. If they are less notable separately, they are more centralized together. The name DeMontfort has no relation to the real university in England, and the names are coincidental.

- I agree that Sabrina Online isn't obscure. Calling it obscure seems like a sign of "I've never heard of it, so it's obscure" logic.

- The above Keep is made by user:Tznkai -- Grumpyhan 00:19, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Abstain Some of the votes for Keep seems to suggest she is a character which has a lot of fans among webcomic creators, hence crossovers. Sabrina Online appears to be more popular than an obscure comic, though. -- Grumpyhan 00:19, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Weak Keep I'm admittedly a bit of a webcomics geek, and encountered Zig Zag in webcomics form about four years ago, so the character is familiar to me, so that does make me biased. (Of my 21 daily comics bookmarks, however, only three could be considered 'furry': Sabrina Online, Ozy & Millie (which I don't tend to count, personally) and The Class Menagerie.) However, Sabrina Online has a significant readership for a webcomic (or so it's link page suggests), as does the associated ZZ Studios fan fiction which features her as a main character, surprisingly enough (for fan fiction, anyway; 344 registered users in the discussion room). There's also fan-made radio play as well, apparently. (Weird-ish, that...) On the other side, "Max Blackrabbit" gets 553 Google hits. (I suspect many of the others in the 13,500 quoted above have sentences like 'A dwarf rabbit can be black, brown, white or gray, and grow to a max of six inches long.' or the like.) Still, I'd say more notable than a random Pokemon. --William McDuff 15:50, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

"Proposed city" it says. Proposed, yes, but as an artist's project rather than as a real place that will exist.

Once you remove Wiki-linked pages, it gets almost 250 google hits. Grutness...wha? 09:21, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Proposed by who? If it was proposed by a notable architect, then it would be of interest and warrant an article. If it was proposed by a very rich man with an interest in architecture who might be the sort to actually put their plans into action (e.g. Prince Charles with his village), then it may be of interest. If you follow the external links then you find this is the brainchild of Robert Avidor. But who is Robert Avidor? He doesn't appear to have any note or influence that I can find from Google.

My vote is conditional on this statement by the unsigned user being true and on the theory section being cleaned up. The amateur graphics don't help.

Speedy, period. Entire article is "Jordan Segall is a noted University of Chicago scholar". The creator can't even be bothered to tell us in which field - but we have to reasearch it to discuss notability. If he is notable let someone else create a proper article later! --Doc (?) 12:50, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wiktionary, the dictionary, has criteria for inclusion that have to be met, which this purported word does not meet based upon what Google returns.

Red Herring Artists

I am highly sceptical of this entry. The author has no other edits, and his only comments on the Talk page are highly defensive. Also, the grammar, capitalisation, and punctuation throughout the article are substandard; at the very least, it has to be copyread and wikified. In addition, he has left the bottom two sections blank for the last three months. It seems to be promotional, and I only find 28 Google hits for it (not enough to substantiate it being "regularly the subject of academic papers on art history and the history of design"). Also, the entire entry has been plagiarised from the About.com topic about this artists' collective. 216.158.31.195 16:41, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    - try google '"red herring" art' returns 214,000 of which the first relevant entry is 11th - "red herring studios" gives 97 results - "red herring artist group" is not a term that applies or is used in reference to them. DavidP 02:18, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete non notable. JamesBurns 05:04, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

This article doesn't appear to have satisfied any of the criteria for deletion under the deletion policy guidlines. it does not infringe any copyright, contains no useless directs or schemes gone awry and is not a source text nor dictionary definition. Perhaps you could consider it a vanity page - but if that were the case surely the author would have mentioned himself. (yes you've guessed - I was the original author, and I gain no benefit at all from the page). clearly the page has caused some concern and it is right to flag it up for consideration. in its defence I would like to say that it doesn't misrepresent anybody nor conflict with anybody elses interest. perhaps it deserves to be considered for cleanup or articles needing attention. But to delete it on the basis of its popularity or the number of hits it has had / google search results would surely endanger every page in wikipedia that wasn't of mainstream interest. A point of information for those not familiar with them, the Booker Prize is the most prestigious british literary prize, and the Turner Prize is the most prestigious british art award, i mention this because it might reflect on wether the subject of the page is 'notable' - I have remedied the lack of name or reference to the turner prize nominee.

Regarding 216.158.31.195's assertion that the page was plagiarised, that really is grasping at straws. It was not. I am sure that 216.158.31.195 (a username that redirects to Jasonglchu) is, as an undergradtuate, aware that academic papers are seldom published on the web and so will have little effect on their google presence. My apologies if this reply is too defensive or if my grammar is poor. ->Keep

I appreciate and share your concern that this page and your doubts about it are judged fairly and by as many people as possible user 216.158.31.195. why then did you delete the link (without explanation) from the red herring disambiguation page? Surely that is not very good form, it almost seems that you have decided that your decision is final. Or would you prefer that others dont stumble across this voting page who might have an interest in Red Herring but only those from the VFD page.

Permian High School

No notability demonstrated Shoaler 17:32, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Meelar is right. In fact, given the feature-film status of Permian, I'm very surprised that the article isn't larger.

keep and expand this is a notable school featured in a film Yuckfoo 18:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Question. Is there anything to say about the school that is not covered by Friday Night Lights? Is it notable outside of the book/film? To give a different example, a number of people were featured in the documentary film Hands on a Hard Body, who would not be notable except for their appearance in the film. In such a case I can see having an article about the film that mentions them, but not separate articles for each person, because their notability is restricted to appearance in that film and can be adequately addressed in that context. --Tabor 19:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- - Apologies to Tabor here; I inadvertently did a mouse drag and inserted a comment by me into his edit (sounds weird, but it's true) I said: "There really is little point listing this kind of school for deletion when perfectly normal junior schools are routinely saved without the benefit of print, silver or technicolor." --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:32, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- There isn't really a good answer to your question; there's a lot of controversy over whether individual high schools are notable enough to get articles independently. See Wikipedia:Schools for more. Meelar (talk) 19:52, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. Although its not much of a stub, it does (through the reference to the "winningest football team") identify the school sufficiently, and for the reasons noted above the school has notability (if that were required for a school). DS1953 19:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  - Clearly the nominator here failed to do minimal research. This is not the way to perform cleanup or RC. The fact that since April 22nd some seventy school articles have been listed for deletion and their discussions all closed without deletion, and a further twenty deletion listings that have not yet been closed also seem to be headed for a non-delete result, also suggests to me that those nominating those ninety schools for deletion in the space of six weeks are failing to do proper research, failing to consider alternatives before going to VfD, and failing to judge the mood of Wikipedia on the matter of schools. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:18, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The Bulmershe School

The claim to fame of this comprehensive school is that it has a headmaster. Dunc|☺ 17:54, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

It is a stub article - hence it does not have much information. Is it Wikipedia policy to delete stub articles? Ian Cairns 18:34, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As noted in the entry above, per Wikipedia:Schools:

A one sentence stub does not help anyone.

Do not unmerge or split out school stubs, unless you simultaneously expand the school article with verifiable information, so that it's no longer a stub.

Short, uninformative school articles may be merged by someone being bold. The relevant articles should generally not be unmerged unless expanded.

Liberal landslide

The full text of this article is "The results of various elections have been popularly described as a Liberal landslide when a party of that name won decisively, that is a Landslide victory. These include:" (followed by a list). This does not add in any signficant way to Landslide victory -- it only compiles a list of landlside won by parties wwith "Liberal" in their names. Note that "Liberal parties" do not necessarily have anything in common -- they include two disparate parties in the UK, the conservative Liberal Party of Australia, the conservative British Columbia Liberal Party, and the ultra-nationalist Liberal Democratic Party of Russia.

Bogworld

Listed on speedy for vandalism by User:-Ril-, but vanity is not a speedy criteria. Listed here by me, but no vote. Article is about a webcomic that claims to be one of the oldest in the world, going back to the late 80s. Meelar (talk) 18:54, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)

No vote. I echo your sentiments. If the site and article can be validated as to their claims, it'd be an interesting article to see develop. But... since the early '80s? That really seems far-fetched to me. Did we even have the possibility for high-res graphics back then? Fishy... 216.158.31.195 19:02, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Anything of the sort from the late 80's / early 90's is most likely to have appeared or been mentioned on Usenet. Didn't find anything relevant at Google groups.

  - I don't know where you get the idea that the Internet was exclusively the province of private companies in those years. The backbone was run by universities under grant of the NSF--university faculty, staff, and students were much more prolific users of the medium. And yes, people used it for all sorts of questionable things. --Tabor 02:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Cleanup, condense, NPOV, and don't merge to Remote viewing: it is already too large. However the title must be changed, since it is POVish. I' d suggest Remote viewing and religious scriptures. Kookery, but notable. mikka (t) 20:40, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Comment. I'm not knowledgable here, but this article looks like a book report for this Cosmic Voyage work written by Courtney Brown. Could this be merged with his article, (after the blatent POV is removed)? No vote. func (talk) 21:13, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
What the...? Here's a sample: "Another point is that Brown had not yet remote viewed the reptilians in his first book, but released data from his remote viewing sessions about Adam and Eve that showed that there was a subspace interference affecting both of them. His second book suggests that the reptilians could be the source of that interference; this would corroborate that same teaching in Genesis." Condense massivelty and merge with the kook's page. -- BD2412 ^talk 21:21, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)
Comment. Uh, I'm not really sure what to say about this. Obviously, this stuff is dripping with POV. Yes, it could be cleaned up, condensed and NPOVed, and merged with something else, but I think the important issue here is whether the topic itself really is at all notable? Are connections between the alleged results of remote viewing and religious scripture important enough to even warrant a short sentence or two in remote viewing or some other suitable article, if even that? I mean, yeah, I'm a skeptic, no question, but that's kind of beside the point here; I absolutely approve of having articles for remote viewing and other similar things. But is this particular subset of remote viewing really notable or significant? I'm not familiar enough with the subject to tell. I'd appreciate it if someone who's better informed here could put this in perspective... -- Captain Disdain 14:03, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Response; it is a fact that the club is known as The Academy of Football, and the players and appearances for England are a matter of public fact as well. Wikipedia would be lacking in its description of West Ham United if it did not refer to this. Nevertheless the "essay style" and the "loving tribute" comments have been considered and the two final paragraphs have been removed.

I say all it needs is a severe rewrite for NPOV and style. The "Academy" is not just a nickname for the club, but a concept in itself. The article already contains enough factual information of interest to keep it separate from the West Ham article, but does need quite a bit of work. I'm willing to do it. Also, I think the West Ham United F.C. article is too big to put something of this size in it. --Mintie 00:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC) (resigned) (see below)
- Questions: What other "The Academy of Football" is there? How many other clubs are known as "The Academy of Football"? Why can't the success of former players from this club be mentioned in the West Ham article? (I see some of that's been done already.) I still think a merge is in order, but will defer to the fans. --Un focused 00:39, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC
UPDATE: I have totally rewritten the article. It still needs a bit of copyedit and some statistical details ironed out, but it's an improvement. --Mintie 02:27, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Delete Wikipedia is not a dictionary, but Wiktionary is. —Kjammer 22:52, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Google Web results indicates that there may be a philosophy that is described as extinctionism, albeit that the definition here does not match how others describe it: promotion of "the extinction of all life", the belief that "we need to work for the end of the human race". There are strong indications that this isn't a real philosophical doctrine propounded by actual people, however. As far as I can see from a quick search, this is at the very best another political epithet, a name-calling label applied by critics and never (with the exception of satirists) claimed by adherents, and the same would thus apply as at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Denialist.

Mandate of Heaven (book)

The subject doesn't look encyclopedic. Nothing links here except one paragraph on Mandate of Heaven that's highly similar; I suspect someone is wikifying on impulse a book they just read from the library or something. Suggest deletion, or if consensus is not to delete, move to The Mandate of Heaven (book). Quuxplusone 21:25, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Move to The Mandate of Heaven. (The (book) disambig isn't really necessary since no other article shares its exact title.) Real, non-vanity press book. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 22:07, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree the book is real; but is it encyclopedic? Other than the fact that it has photos by Cartier-Bresson, I'm not aware of anything especially interesting about it. Is Wikipedia supposed to have an entry for every work of nonfiction ever published? (If the book has an interesting history, or is the vehicle for an interesting theory about the Chinese civil war, or something like that, then I agree Move. But I don't see any evidence of that.) --Quuxplusone 00:30, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - My notability threshold for books or other scholarly works (especially on a serious subject like Chinese history) is a lot lower than it is for, say, websites; I take a "notable until proven not notable" view of stuff like this. That the book was published by a non-vanity press is good enough for me. In addition, this article existed for eight minutes before you nominated it. I'm a stickler for bad stub articles and even I think that's a little premature. Give it a chance to grow. If the book is truly notable and interesting, someone will add more. If not, it'll stagnate and maybe get deleted later. (Of course, if some expert in the field pops in here and says, "This is just a generic unimportant book," I'll change my tune.)

Herose

This is clearly a commercial for a product -puffery, in fact- and should be deleted. Eilthireach 21:57, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Very weak keep. From WP:NOT: "Articles about companies and products are fine if they are written in an objective and unbiased style. Further all article topics must be third-party verifiable, so articles about very small 'garage' companies are not likely to be acceptable." I don't think this is a 'garage' company but as a privately held Singapore-based company verifiability is on the low side. A more significant company, Eu Yan Sang International Ltd, (Singapore Exchange listed as "EYS") has an interest in Herose Pharma (see [14] and [15]). Herose has also been discussed in several online forums of patients suffering from skin problems (and the discussions have not always been favorable; the treatment is apparently extremely expensive). In addition, and what tips the scale for me, the company publicly announced in 2003 that it is conducting tests on an AIDS drug [16]. People may well want to read about the company, and that pushes my vote to a "keep". I have edited the article to tone down the puffery. DS1953 23:18, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep & Cleanup agree with DS1953, its an existant company with valid patents and products. Should be listed as a company profile with history and purpose, and less advertisement of one product. Needs a healthy overhaul. Who ?¿? 23:45, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Neo-luddism

Sloppily-written, irredemably POV. I know of no persons or organizations who identify themselves as "neo-Luddite" - this is just a smear term. An entry on List of political epithets should be sufficient. This article is just a rant against individuals and organizations that various contributors disagree with. Firebug 22:05, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. A Google search for "neo-luddite" yields 24,000 hits. The term is in common usage in by some proponents; it's in the title of Theodore Roszak's "The Cult of Information: A Neo-Luddite Treatise on High Tech, Artificial Intelligence, and the True Art of Thinking" and is used frequently in the text of Kirkpatrick Sale's "Rebels Against the Future: The Luddites and Their War on the Industrial Revolution: Lessons for the Computer Age." While the article may be sloppily written, the subject is encyclopedic and should be made to conform with NPOV by avenues other than deletion. ElBenevolente 22:53, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

- I sympathise with this view, but have you read the article? It's such a mess I doubt it's fixable. Full of statements like this: "Infoshop.org is one of a number of propaganda fronts which simultaneously promote luddism and deny that it is any sort of organized movement, much like how Sinn Fein denied for decades any connection to the IRA." And: "Both have labelled the philosophy of transhumanism as, "the world's most dangerous idea," despite the fact that no transhumanist has ever attacked or sabotaged anyone or anything, while so far, leftist neo-luddites do so as a matter of right[24] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkeywrenching)." Can anyone seriously claim that this is NPOV? Firebug 03:28, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  - No one needs to claim that inflammatory crap is NPOV. An NPOV article can be written about neo-luddism. Some of the information currently in the article is useful; there's no need to start from scratch. (Personally, I think the "prominent neo-luddites" section is useful, though I agree that sources are needed.) AиDя01D TALK EMAIL 03:41, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Delete unless this article gets a complete NPOV rewrite sometime within the next few days. As written it's just plain propoganda and full of errors. Kaibabsquirrel 03:52, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Redirect to Luddite per Wahoofive, this could easily be covered there, and in a much better way. Prefixing "neo-" to an existing term doesn't really make it a new concept in any important way. It's just a neology. :D --Unfocused 05:00, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- No, the two concepts are separate. Luddites were English workers in the 1800s. Neo-luddism is a modern movement. I don't necessarily disagree that both things couldn't be covered in one article, but would you delete Neoclassicalism for the same reason? AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 05:07, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
  - All right, you logic bombed me. Good shot. Neoclassicalism is a distinct movement based on imitation of ideal archetypes. But neo-luddites and luddites have the same underlying ideas and belief systems, so I don't think they're distinct enough for separate articles. I ask myself, if I were reading the luddite article, would I want to know how these exact same principles apply in the modern world? Yes. If I were reading the neo-luddite article, would I want to know the origin of these beliefs? Yes. Is there too much content for one article? No. So redirect and merge what's salvagable from the "neo" version. Re-read the neo-luddism article. Is there any sentence that has it's meaning changed by removing the "neo-"? I don't see any. --Unfocused 05:37, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Problems as I see them with this article:

1. The neo-luddism article is categorized under "social philosophy" but attempts to describe a specific political movement. The social philosophy is well-treated under Anarcho-primitivism.
2. The neo-luddism article presents facts and allegations about the separate actions and beliefs of individuals, groups, and organizations, but so far does not provide any specific evidence that these individuals, groups, and organizations are coordinated or related in any way in a single coherent "network" or "movement".

Keep. User:Firebug has engaged in a campaign of cyberstalking of me on wikipedia and is pursuing a political agenda. He may be a sockpuppet of User:Meelar. Deletion is a vote to suppress important information about a dangerous movement, its prominent sympathizers, members, etc and the groups involved. Supression of information for political purposes should not be what wikipedia is about.Mlorrey 18:29, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Neither should inclusion of information for political purposes. A vote for deletion is not necessarily a vote to suppress information; it may be a vote to preserve the purpose of Wikipedia. The fact that you argue for keeping the article on the basis of the "dangerous" nature of the alleged movement instead of the encyclopedic nature of the subject suggests that if this article is kept, it is going to need ongoing attention and contributions from a wide variety of editors to eventually grow into an informative NPOV article (as suggested by a number of the "keep" votes above). Lukethelibrarian 19:45, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. While User:Mlorrey is apparently incapable of distinguishing NPOV from his own political agenda, Neo-luddism is an important movement especially as it has impacted the field of bioethics. Many important political movements of the past two decades have derived from Neo-luddite thought and whether or not you agree with those movements has no bearing on their importance.BrentN 01:10, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Vanity. Article fails to establish notability. Delete. Hermione1980 22:11, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment maybe vanity, also a direct copy from [17], I added copyvio on main page. More work on the article could establish notability. Who ?¿? 23:54, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Seems to be a personal attack page, and done badly. No strong claim for notability. David | Talk 22:55, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sue Turner

Non-notable--local interest--facts transitory/unverifiable. "Since she became principal, bullying has decreased."--no evidence to support claim, and even if there was, tracking year-over-year invididual school 'troublemakers' stats seems beyond the purview of a general interest encyclopedia covering the universe over all of time--'laudable' != 'notable'. Also get rid of the redlinks for other individuals names at Heart Lake Secondary School as being a vice-principal at a random public school is not inherently encyclopedic.

Delete. I've merged into Eugene Fama the information that his son works for his investment advisory company. I would add in that article that his son is also a comics artist, but it's not clear to me from his website whether he's published all this work (i.e., been accepted in the professional community) or just does it for his own satisfaction. He might be notable but it's not established. JamesMLane 08:51, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable vanity. Part of a string of vanity pages from the same author (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Chris labosky, Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Steve Ullinger, ...). Delete, if not speedy. --Idont Havaname 23:17, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Strong delete if not speedy, non-notable. I think it's written by the same user who brought us Chris labosky, Steve Ullinger, and Gabe Wawrin. Plus, Wikipedia is not a place to announce who your crush is... rather POV, I'd say. --Idont Havaname 23:22, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wikipedia talk talk:Approval mechanism

This page name is an obvious misspelling. I'm not quite sure what to do with its content... Wikipedia talk:Approval mechanism was blanked and its content moved when Wikipedia:Approval mechanism was made a redirect to Meta:Article validation. Probably this should go there too.--Nabla 23:59, 2005 Jun 3 (UTC)

The Dakotas

This seems like an ideal candidate for merging or deletion, there's already several pages on very similar topics, such as Dakota or Dakota Territory and it doesn't offer much that's new. What does everyone else think? StoneColdCrazy 00:10, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep. The Dakotas are a specific geographical place and they deserve their own article (just like The Carolinas). Although Dakota Territory and The Dakotas describe the same area of land, they are different things that deserve different articles. "Dakota Territory" is a historical term and its article should have a historical perspective. "The Dakotas" is an actively used term that deserves an article that briefly describes this portion of the United States. I would encourage some expansion of The Dakotas article instead of deletion. --MatthewUND 00:30, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Keep. The Dakotas was also the name of Billy J. Kramer's backing group so you'd need the entry for a disambig in any case. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:50, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep - and the term can be used to describe a native American tribe, too. Seems like a good disambiguation page. Grutness...wha? 01:55, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep as a disambig. -- BD2412 ^talk 02:17, 2005 Jun 4 (UTC)
Keep. Useful as a disambig or if expanded. They might as well be one state anyway... :-) AиDя01D TALK EMAIL 03:13, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, as with other geographical articles of this sort (New England, Northern California etc.), and expand. Kaibabsquirrel 03:55, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep as DAB move the current text to The Dakotas (states). Vegaswikian 06:59, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Comment. What's wrong with the current primary topic disambig? By far the most common meaning is the area bounded by the pair of states. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:29, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Keep. We also have the Carolinas, btw. jengod 01:15, Jun 5, 2005 (UTC)
