Salvi

Non-encyclopedic. If anything, belongs on list of ethnic slurs. --Laura Scudder | Talk 00:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, slang dictionary definition. Megan1967 04:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if it exists, it should be on the list of ethnic slurs, but I suspect its made up. either way the page is useless --Cynical 13:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, sure smells made up to me... or, if not, then VERY obscure, as the Google results are rather vague. Master Thief Garrett 15:21, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Dabur

Looks like advertising spam. None of the information is particularly encyclopedic. --Laura Scudder | Talk 00:25, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Agree. -- Fingers-of-Pyrex 02:18, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Delete, not notable, advert. Megan1967 04:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep. The fourth largest FMCG company in India. I have wikified a bit, and article no longer looks like advertising spam. utcursch | talk 05:03, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and thank Utcursch for the cleanup. Kappa 06:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable company, now a good stub. --the wub (talk) 08:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The article is not a advertising spam . One should go to the Middle East and India to see the market span of the company .
Keep Original article warranted removing, but now revised and worth keeping. Sgkay 10:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete if it is such a massive, notable company it should be worth more than two sentences. The fact that it isn't proves its non-notable status. --Cynical 13:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep Just go to www.dabur.com and see wether its a notable company or not .

Keep, notable. Eixo 15:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, notable, and at its current state after cleanup, certainly it can be kept. Should be expanded though. --Ragib 15:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but improve. There are many articles on here about companies, so why delete this article and keep the others? The content needs to be improved, but I think the topic belongs on Wikipedia. Aecis 22:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, companies with a turnover of $300M are notable. Googling on "Dabur India" returns 35k pages, of which the first 20 refer to this company. -- Jitse Niesen 22:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Strong Keep big company. needs to be expanded -- 152.78.254.131 22:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Yeah, I've never heard of them, but is that really a surprise? Kelly Martin 00:48, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Keep, and to be developed suitably by persons who may be aware of such things. As regards the size of the article - several articles were stubs - A P J Abdul Kalam, the present president of India was hardly 40 words, Dhirubhai Ambani who laid foundation for the largest industrial house in India (when he died 2 years before it was worth 12 bn US$) was less than 60 words, and the last week's WP:COTW, Culture of Ancient Rome was less than 100 words. As such, size of Dabur in words should not determine one's vote to keep or delete. As regards "not notable" and "advert" - after a level, a corporate house rises above these levels and sets its own standard, and is not dependent on wikepedia for notability and advertisement: do anyone feels that an article on Bill Gates and Microsoft would be vanity / advertisement and so on. Dabur is a corporate house, which does not require an article on wikepedia to promote itself - it is in existence for about 100 years and the medicines it produces and sells have been in India for several thousand years. Before any vote for deletion, one should please understand wikepedia's guideleins in this respect and not vote for deletion without any familiarity with the topic. We all are here to make wikepedia "sum total of human knowledge" and not to reduce it. I am sorry for the lecture. --Bhadani 03:18, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I actually think people marked it for vfd not for any prejudice, because it sounded just like an advert in its first draft. The edits following that have improved it to its current state, which is good, but in its first few drafts, it really looked like an ad. --Ragib 03:34, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- In view of your comments, I have removed certain portions of my earlier comments. Thanks.--Bhadani 03:41, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment -I don't know what do people mean to say by calling the first few articles on Dabur an Ad . Even the present revised article looks like an AD in that case ,just that it is a bit more informative . Think people love to argue on this site . --IncMan 12:49, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Please look, sometimes, my strong reactions to some issues upset the puople around, they upset me equally - today, I was feeling bad for a greater part of the day. I promise to be more careful in my comments and reactions. Now, coming to the present issue, yes, Dabur may be a good topic for an article, but the present contents do require modifications: actually, I am not able to plan on this topic otherwise I would have attempted to do this myself, as earlier, I had done with a few articles under VfD like Awasthi, RURAL MARKETS and Family traditions. In any case, I am sorry for my strong reactions. --Bhadani 17:47, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Greenhaven Drive

Does anyone think it is logical for Wikipedia to have articles on local roads that are not designated as higways with numbers?? I say this article should be deleted if no one can prove that this road merits an article. Georgia guy 00:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete' Utterly non-notable and completely unencyclopedic as written, and doesn't even make sense as we are told that "Greenhaven Drive" ends at "Greenhaven Drive", which seems at best solipsistic and at worst just plain wrong. Apparently from just someone who wants their street to have an encyclopedia article. Rlquall 02:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Most local roads are not encyclopedically notable. Quale 04:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Unencyclopedic. JeremyA 04:46, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

"Does anyone think it is logical for Wikipedia to have articles on local roads that are not designated as higways with numbers??" Yes. But this is just a suburban arterial, one of thousands of boring roads. Delete unless expanded to include historic details, or merged into an article about the suburb (as it is a road of decent importance in the context of the suburb). --SPUI (talk) 05:35, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable road. utcursch | talk 06:02, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. The article gives no impression that this road is of any notability whatsoever. Average Earthman 09:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable, and the article is so poor it would qualify anyway --Cynical 13:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Steamroll all non-notable roads. Master Thief Garrett 15:23, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete with jackhammer. Most local roads are not encyclopedically notable, and the article gives no impression that this road is of any notability whatsoever. Probably road-vanity. (Otherwise why is the substub present?) Perhaps the road ends at itself because it has a P shape? If it's just a cul-de-sac then the article sounds bot-like. 205.247.102.130 18:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Above vote was mine, not logged in. Article was created by anon, along with a high school also VfD'ed today. Only not-VfD'ed article that links to this one is Pocket-Greenhaven_(Sacramento, California). Barno 18:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. There's been a lot of debate on roads of late, but I think even the hardliners for keeping roads would be hard pressed to find a reason to keep this one. -R. fiend 20:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I live in the Sacramento area, and although I know of this road, it isn't even notable around here. But where are all of the "keep it because it's verifiable" crowd? Rick K 22:45, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep Real road, information is verifiable. (You rang?) Klonimus 02:47, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- But is it notable? THAT is the key. This isn't exactly the Appian Way, which I would *still* consider deleting if it wasn't comprised of material that is--verifiability be damned--USEFUL. Master Thief Garrett 03:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I'd normally say to merge with Sacramento but there really isn't any content here to merge, so delete. Kelly Martin 00:50, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Delete and mention in Sacramento. From the map it does appear to be part of a long corridor, possibly a historically significant road, but the article doesn't have any details. Gazpacho 02:35, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Not notable. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:26, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Saddleback_High

Vanity page

Weak keep. Could be expanded into viable article, given time and interest, although certainly somewhat unencyclopedic as currently written. Rlquall 02:04, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article. Individual schools are not inherently encyclopedic and there is nothing to distinguish insignificant schools like this one from thousands of nearly identical schools around the world. Gamaliel 03:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Three-day-old high school stub. Reasonable for now. Give it time. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 03:58, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Even if the article were expanded, the subject would still be non-notable. I'm sure you could write a very long article on Greenhaven Drive, but it wouldn't be notable either. Notability flows from the unique and important details of the subject, not the logorrhea used to describe mundane trivia. Quale 04:27, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete unless wikipedia wants a boring, pointless article for every average school in every country. CDThieme
Keep schools. Verifiable and NPOV. First, preserve knowledge, then expand knowledge. --Unfocused 05:22, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, not encyclopaedic. Agree with Quale. --bainer 05:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. Kappa 06:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Instutional Vanity, wikipedia is not triviapedia.Gmaxwell 06:15, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Santa Ana, California and delete - Skysmith 08:59, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as recommended by Skysmith. Too granular a level of detail for a separate article. Average Earthman 09:02, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
A phonebook entry, oh how useful indeed. The pinnacle of Schoolwatch usefulness [sic]. Merge and Delete. Master Thief Garrett 11:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete- doesn't give any facts that are wikipedia-worthy --Cynical 13:14, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, non-notable. Neutrality^talk 13:56, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep - has potential. Lupin 14:05, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep schools in wikipedia. --Howrealisreal 14:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This isn't a school, it's a phonebook listing. I could search-n-replace it with McDonald's and it would look exactly the same. Master Thief Garrett 14:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I think your point of view here is real shallow. Sure, at this moment, this article is not up to the best of standards, but does that really qualify it to be deleted? Instead of giving up on all these school articles, they should at least be available to be improved in the future. --Howrealisreal 15:13, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Probably it *is* broad and shallow at this time of night, but the problem is it will sit as a stub for the rest of eternity. And, if someone *did* come to add it, doubtless they'd say "oh, my school won't be here at all, so I'll start Saddleback High School" and no-one will ever deal with *this* stub. If someone wants to recreate it with valid content that's another story. If you see what I mean... hmmm, at this time of night I don't even know if *I* see what I mean... Master Thief Garrett 16:16, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete no potential for growth into noteworthyness. --InShaneee 14:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, vanity. R adiant _* 14:54, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and mark as stub. High school articles can be very successful (like this one). It should be judged by its potential, not by its current standard. Eixo 15:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge/Consolidate into an article on the local school administrative district, or else *keep. — RJH 16:39, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- Longhair | Talk 16:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Move to Saddleback High School and expand. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 20:59, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Verifiable. Notability is still not a listed deletion criterion - David Gerard 22:40, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as with others. Christopher Parham 00:41, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
Merge with Santa Ana, California; does not meet my standalone school article criterion. Kelly Martin 00:51, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
Keep and make room for extra servings of BEEFSTEW. —RaD Man (talk) 00:57, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge into Santa Ana, or an article on the relevant school district, unless it can be expanded beyond the one sentence substub that it is (the contact info doesn't count as true content). Stop the dogma, people. Whether or not schools are or can be notable has nothing to do with what the insubstantial content of this article is. I challenge anyone voting an unqualified keep to put your money where your mouth is and expand the damn thing. Postdlf 01:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - What ever happened to "Don't bite the newcomers"? This was the first new article of a new user who has made a number of decent edits and we are VfD'ing his first article before it has been a stub for four days. What a friendly bunch we are! DS1953 03:40, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Rather than saying anything in my own words, I will instead quote from the great Shigeru Miyamoto: "A delayed game is eventually good, a bad game is bad forever." The same could easily be applied to Wikipedia articles. If an article up for Vfd has potential for expansion and/or is expanded during the course of the Vfd, people vote to keep it. If it can never ever ever be improved in the eyes of the Vfders, it should go. Leaving it to stagnate just to cushion newcomers isn't going to help anyone. And, as an aside, a large percentage of Vfd articles are put up the second they are created, and in this case they are almost always by anon IPs and new users. Master Thief Garrett 05:35, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge as above. If the article is kept, the name needs to be changed to the formal name of the school. Vegaswikian 05:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Non-notable phonebook entry of a school. Should I make phonebook entries at Wikipedia of the 4 schools near where I live? Sarg 14:05, 18 May 2005 (UTC). Changing vote to Keep after recent changes. But still needs some more work. I don't believe in "organic growth". Perhaps we should create "inorganic growth". Sarg 06:54, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, all stubs on valid topics are useful contributions. CalJW 18:17, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  - Well, I won't do it, that is quite absurd, since I don't think they would be "valid". Sarg 22:06, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Wikipedia is not a phonebook. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:29, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and expand. - SimonP 02:38, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
Delete. Wikipedia is not a high-school directory. --Calton | Talk 04:12, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. If you want to write a school article, write some useful content! Harro5 10:21, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

Keep Time wasting nomination. CalJW 18:17, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. In its current form, this article has a BEEFSTEW score of 7. By allowing the natural organic growth process to take its course, there is no doubt in my mind this school can achieve a perfect 10. --Bahn Mi 20:29, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Wikipedia Death Penalty

Utter, utter bullshit. Neutrality^talk 01:49, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

I've voted 'delete', but I'd like it kept around for the duration of the ArbCom case. If it gets "delete", please don't delete straight away but mark it as to be deleted at the end of the case - David Gerard 16:43, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment from creator: ~~Keep~~. Precedent at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Avoid using meta-templates dictates that even failed policy proposals that the proposer is falsely referring to as actual policy must be kept.

An archive, meaning "a preserved page that is impossible to edit" and with a notice saying that this policy is just a "bill" and is not official. → JarlaxleArtemis 03:35, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Why is this particular page worthy of such protection and preservation? Why shouldn't anyone be allowed to edit it? Gamaliel 03:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - the page says utilized in cases in which a user's behavior is not egregious enough to warrant an official block or ban by administrators, but is strongly opposed by the Wikipedia community as a whole.

Keep. The fact that the user proposing this has given it a ridiculous name does not provide a reason to delete it. It provides a reason to edit and rename it. It is (or at least appears to be) a rational and reasonable proposal for dealing with a serious problem.

My vote is still keep (as it is). My vote only changes to delete if the title is changed to List of notable Holocaust victims. However, I don't mind changing the title to List of Holocaust victims with articles on Wikipedia which is why I suggested it as a compromise further down. I don't think that we should call it list of List of notable Holocaust victims and say that inclusion in Wikipedia is the test for inclusion because without it clearly spelled out in the articles title it will be imposible to enforce the standard.--Heathcliff 12:17, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  - Not necessarily, if the condition is spelled out atop the page. See List of slave owners. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 04:17, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
    - The criteria on that page is "This list includes notable individuals for which there is a consensus of evidence of slave ownership." The first part of which "This list includes notable individuals" merely restates what the title of article already says, and the second of which "for which there is a consensus of evidence of slave ownership" results as a natural consequence of the Wikipedia process (in there's no conscenss it's probally going to be edited out.) If the standard "List of Holocaust victims with articles in Wikipedia" was put at the top of the page it would likely be ignored or even more likely edited out by those who did not like the standard. That is, the question of what the standard is will be left to future editors if it is not in the title. Which is no different than changing the name to "List of Holocaust victims" and not adding a standard to the top of the page.--Heathcliff 12:27, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep but ONLY if changed to "List of notable Holocaust victims". Wikipedia is not paper, but attempting to list 60 million people simply is unattainable. However a list of famous people who died in the Holocaust would be of interest. Perhaps this might work better as a category. Question: assuming that Holocaust victims were primarily Jewish, what's a Catholic saint doing listed here? I think an introduction needs to be added to explain this for those who think only Jews died in the Holocaust. 23skidoo 13:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Delete- no way to ensure that it is accurate (exact number of Holocaust victims is not known, and varies wildly between sources).

Delete - Agree with above that a article named "notable Holocaust victims" is a bad idea.

Delete: First, on of the things that Wikipedia Is Not is a memorial site. We have Wikimemorial for lists of this nature (all the 9/11 victims, e.g.), and we must reject, out of hand and a priori, any eulogy/elegy. Secondly, because the list is impossible to verify, the list fails on that score. Third, because the list cannot be completed, any inclusion is inherently POV (e.g. the list may bias toward ethnic victims as opposed to political ones, or sexual ones opposed to nationalist ones). The main reason, however, is simply that we are not a memorial. Geogre 15:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep and rename. I think the word 'notable' is unfortunate - weren't they all? 'Famous' is much more neutral. The criterion for inclusion is simple: if someone has a Wikipedia entry (or should have one), they ought to be included, otherwise not. Eixo 16:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Is it POV trying to determine who deserves to be on Wikipedia? Eixo 23:48, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No, but it is POV if you deem some Holocaust victims notable and therefore Wikipediable and others unnotable and therefore not Wikipediable. There should be no distinguishing between notable Holocaust victims and unnotable Holocaust victims. If you make a list of Holocaust victims, you should include all Holocaust victims. And if some Holocaust victims are indeed notable, they should be on Wikipedia because they're notable, not because they're notable Holocaust victims. Aecis 08:06, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's exactly why I made the point that the word 'notable' should be avoided in the namespace; because it might seem offensive. However, there are already criteria in Wikipedia on who are notable and who are not, and there are innumerable lists based on these criteria. There is no reason why information on well-known people who were killed by the Nazis during the war should be suppressed. Eixo 03:36, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I strongly oppose having an aticle called "List of notable Holocaust victims". As someone else said they are all notable. I also think it would lead to very sensitive disputes over who was notable and who was not.

Comment: With all due respect, I think this discussion is getting silly. There's a page called List of Norwegians. This is not a list of all 4,5 million of them. This was never meant to be a list of all 4,5 million of them! It's implicit in the title that the list only covers notable individuals. As I said, the word 'notable' ought to be avoided, but apart from that the list is completely viable. Eixo 02:45, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
With its current title, it's by definition a list that is impractical to the extreme. Change to List of notable Holocaust victims -- and no, I don't buy for one second the claim that attaching a notability limitation would give rise to unresolvable disputes, because the criterion should be simple - whether the person has an article on Wikipedia. What WOULD give rise to disputes would be restricting entry to those who have articles on Wikipedia BUT leaving the title alone, since that would likely confuse new editors trying to add names and leave others with the unpleasant chore of deleting the names of some user's grandmother or great-uncle who fail to met the non-explicit criterion. --Calton | Talk 04:24, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The article, at least the version that I see now, does not say anything that is not well-known. Gangsters do not operate like legal businesses, so it is unreasonable to expect to see the same kind of documentary evidence for the existence of Dawood Ibrahim and his gang, as is available for the existence of, say, General Electric or IBM.

Horse paradox

The Horse Paradox page does not explain a real paradox, but rather lays out a smattering of word plays and jokes. However, if that assessment is wrong and it does have value in its discussion of logic, it might stay with a little cleanup help. Thus, I put it to a vote.

The first part was described to me in a discrete math course as the car paradox; it's a useful illustration of a logic "hole" in induction. The rest are just jokes and are not encyclopedic. Merge the first section into Mathematical induction or a related math page on common logic errors or suchlike. Keep and cleanup per Gazpacho and ESkog; that sounds like a better plan. android↔talk 03:52, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
Keep the first section, drop the rest. It's widely taught. Keeping it as a separate article allows it to be added to Category:Logical fallacies Gazpacho 03:45, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the first section and remove the rest. Checking out the history, the original author only included that first part and others have added other random jokes involving horses. Just needs some cleanup - I was taught this very same analogy in a discrete math course. ESkog 03:47, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, they are a struggling pair of young artists and need all the help that they can get

I have no real opinion on whether or not this page is deleted, even though I am one of the said members of this band. However, I want to say something to Kelly Martin, who started the deletion of this page. I read your definition of "Band", but I think you have band confused with "Notable Music Group". The difference is, a band is a group of performers that play music, no matter how many people know about them. I think that you shouldn't be allowed to vote for the deletion of band pages, because, obviously, if they aren't big (which we won't get, and are not hoping to) they don't matter, and, in response to you other comment on your profile, I think that you are the one being a dick.

The abovegoing anonymous editor has engaged in an extensive discussion of this article and my deletion policy for bands on my user talk page. It is perhaps vaguely relevant. Kelly Martin 22:25, May 19, 2005 (UTC)

Keep this band now has a garage band site and i would bet that they have mp3s on the way

The second Keep vote is from the same anonymous user, 159.191.12.26, as the first Keep vote. — Dan Johnson

No Opinion I have to say that me and my friends retract any previous insulting comments about kelly martin or any other wiki editor. I apoligize for any harm we may have done, and will post no further. However, I would like to ask one question, is the only acceptable music group to have a page on wikipedia a "notable" one under Kelly's definition?

Keep and expand. Valid topic. Megan1967 06:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep but if there isn't much more to add, move content to Wiktionary, leaving only {{wi}} on the Wikipedia page. AFAIK that is the closest available approximation to a cross-wiki redirect. (If I'm wrong I'd love to hear it.) DanielCristofani 10:38, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- You're wrong inasmuch as Wiktionary already has nadir, which has no need of this content, which answers the question posed on Talk:Nadir, which covers the word in three languages, and which also includes its use as a proper noun. ☺ Uncle G 18:37, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  - When I said "move content to Wiktionary", I meant to add it to the Wiktionary article, not to replace what was already there. When I wrote my comment, the Wiktionary article looked like this and certainly could have used such an addition, which I notice you have performed since my comment. Anyway, when I said I would love to hear I was wrong, I meant I would love to hear that there was a smooth way to turn Wikipedia entries into redirects to Wiktionary entries. DanielCristofani 22:44, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - And that version of the page answered the question posed on Talk:Nadir and covered the word in three languages, as I said. I didn't "move content to Wiktionary". This article (until I rewrote it) didn't cover people named with the proper noun "Nadir" (a point that I obviously made too subtly) and didn't include any etymological information, so my additions of etymologies and proper noun senses to Wiktionary (with my hat on as a Wiktionarian whose attention was drawn to the article by this discussion) could not possibly have been moved content. As my edit history comment tells you, I added content from Webster 1913, not from Wikipedia. It has been my experiences that:
      - moving individual meanings from Wikipedia to Wiktionary is largely pointless — Wiktionary usually improves when Wiktionarians notice that an article needs cleanup or expansion. This very case is an example. I, with my Wiktionarian hat on, was prodded, by this debate, into looking at nadir, and noticed that it needed expansion, so I added some Webster 1913 content into it.
      - Wikipedia is generally bad at writing dictionary content — I've seen Wiktionary come up with better dictionary articles on words in a handful of days than Wikipedia was able to grow organically in years. Quite a lot of those turned up when we were cleaning out the 1200-or-so article backlog in the transwiki queue.
    - This was yet another case of Wikipedians saying "move to Wiktionary" meaning moving an individual meaning of a word into an existing Wiktionary article. (It has been said before.) And as I said, Wiktionary is simply not in need of such content. Uncle G 14:04, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
      - I am not concerned to deny most of this. When I said "such an addition", I did not mean necessarily an addition of content transferred from Wikipedia, but an addition that would convey the same information the Wikipedia article conveyed. My point has been that:
        If a Wikipedia article can never be more than a dictionary definition, in some cases the best move is to turn it into a cross-reference to Wiktionary, rather than a redirect to some vaguely related Wikipedia article; and
        
        before doing this, it would be wise to make sure the relevant Wiktionary article has all the information the Wikipedia article did.
      - Maybe I was not clear enough about this. In any case I seem to have elicited responses appropriate to something I was not trying to say. DanielCristofani 22:48, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, there would be plenty of ways to expand this, such as how it is used in astronomy for starters. --bainer 12:54, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I, the author, with a PHD in History have asked in my last comment for you to delete the article and yet you still rail on and on and on and on. Have any of you ever been to these places? Read first hand accounts on the pages they first were written? As i've said before, i saw a void in your little web page and tried to fill it. As i see now, this is not a place for knowledge, but for the same old Roman record keeping garbage that has stifled our knowledge of history for centuries. I suppose i could wait until the book is released and then cite it as "proof". Would that make you morons feel better? While i was in the second world war, there was no proof of genocide taking place. For years afterward, there was no proof that FDR suppressed this proof. Now there is no proof that the Jews have any historical claim to Israel. Have fun on your flat-empirical world, young fellows. I will soon be in Switzerland beginning my next book (of lies i suppose) on the Gallic War. Keep in mind that they pay me to research and write this stuff.

hi. I'm a long time user and a first time poster. Maybe i'm a little "green", but didn't the author request that his post be deleted? Do you guys just like to run things into the ground? I'm not trying to be snotty or rude but haven't you got better things to do than wave your intellectual cocks in the air? I was writing a paper on Britain during the dark ages and wound up side tracked by this stupid argument. True: a few things in the article aren't credible, but this is far from the first page i've seen here that ignore facts or create new theories. Also i have read many books on the subject of King Arthur that support the idea that Magnus was the father of Constantine III. I cannot cite the sources-don't have time-and don't really care. Whenever i look something up on Wikidpedia, i always double check it. Maybe you guys should do your own homework or take the advice of the old guy who wrote this entry and delete it without further discussion. Surely you all have something better to do. Or maybe not. unsigned comment by 68.59.230.134

If this is fiction, it needs deleting. On the other hand, if it is verifiable original research (ie a proper radical redaction of established sources) then surely it deserves a place, albeit marked in some way as theory-not-absolute-fact. Otherwise, havign read the article, I am moved to take issue with Kuralyov's comment about "Not a shred of accuracy" since quite an amount of this is generally-accepted fact in England, and much of the rest accords with one among a number of radical re-readings of Dark Age history which relocate Arthur to Scotland and make the people in the northern part of ther island substantially more civilized than Caesar and his kith were willing to give credit for. Sorry for rant. --Simon Cursitor 06:56, 18 May 2005 (UTC)--[reply]
- Any attempts to relocate Arthur to the north of England/Scotland is merely an attempt at aggrandizement for the people of those areas. There is simply too much evidence putting him in the south, and not enough for him to be in the north. An Arthur-like person, or one of the bases for Arthur, maybe, but not the Arthur, if he existed.

And as for the Picts being more civilized than was thought: they did not have centralized government, standardized religion or language, or codified law; they did not scult, paint murals, write down their legends; they did not try to build lasting cities on purpose. I think the Romans had them beat.

Delete Although I haven't the time to check every point here, as far as I can judge this is not a complete invention by the author, it appears to be an uncritical regurgitation of some accounts of the time of King Arthur written centuries after the event, mainly by Geoffrey of Monmouth, but regarded by historians as extremely unreliable. (I know this because among other things I read a couple of 20th century historical novels about Merlin by Mary Stewart loosely based on Geoffrey of Monmouth, and the recent film Merlin with Helena Bonham Carter as Morgan Le Fay also incorporates elements from Geoffrey.) However the article is not salvagable, so delete, and anything useful should be put in the articles on Geoffrey of Monmouth or some of the characters mentioned in the article.

Cypress Falls High School

Content is "Cypress Falls High School is a high school located in the suburbs of Houston, Texas. About 3,000 students attend this school, which was created in 1990. It handles grades nine through twelve. It is part of the Cypress Fairbanks Independent School District. Its current principal is Dr. Robert Worthy, Ph.D." In other words, there is absolutely nothing to distinguish it from the tens of thousands of other high schools. Non-notable, delete. Neutrality^talk 04:15, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

- I am systemically nominating non-notable articles for deletion. And I will continue doing so until I reach the end of the alphabet. Furthermore, it's not an "ultimatum" to demand that an article in an encylopedia meet an encylopediac standard. Neutrality^talk 05:00, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
  - Firstly, you know and I know that there is no consensus of non-notability as a deletion criterion. Secondly your campaign is verging on disruption. Thirdly you demand that something be done within five days. You may deny that this is an ultimatum, but a demand with a deadline is an ultimatum. Finally, these are all perfectly good stubs you're listing. Every single one that I've seen so far. --Tony Sidaway|Talk
    - Ultimatum? Hardly, to me it appeared that he was qualifying his delete vote/nomination... A pretty reasonable thing to do. You might think that they are good stubs, but you do not speak for the rest of the community. Quite a few disagree. .. But I understand why you are complaining, consider how often you close VFDs on these issues...Gmaxwell 06:11, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Well obviously I won't be closing any schools listings--I'm voting on them instead. I do think his listing is unreasonable in the context of the forty of fifty-odd others he's done in the past three days. Adding a demand that the article should "establish notability" within five days, when there are fifty other articles around, is extremely unreasonable. I question Neutrality's reasoning here--it isn't feasible that all the stubs on Wikipedia should be turned into full articles within five days or so. Moreover there is *no* consensus on non-notability as a deletion criterion. Schools that are used by thousands, sometimes tens of thousands of students over their lifetimes, and employ scores and sometimes hundreds of teachers over that time, and play a significant part in local, region and often national life, are inherently notable. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:36, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      - Adding a demand that the article should "establish notability" within five days, when there are fifty other articles around, is extremely unreasonable.

Again, if there are articles for individual South Park episodes -- and there should be -- then proposing to delete articles about high schools which are important locally, if not nationally, is utterly absurd. Compton especially is important, for cultural and socio-economic reasons. Let's let this stub grow! --Zantastik 02:42, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep the schoolcruft. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Too many people have such polarized views on school articles that they never even seem to consider the lack or presence of content in the article and its potential for expansion. Unless more can be said about this individual school to merit an individual article than its name and where it is, merge into a list of schools in the location, or if Malaysia has something comparable, an article about the school district. Don't get so distracted by the fact it's about a school—that doesn't tell you anything about what to do with this particular article. Postdlf 21:08, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Please don't post out of order, it can get confusing. It should be noted that he openly said (on another Vfd) that he was crawling through the alphabet looking for Vfd-worthy material. Now why is it mostly schools? Because ALL other types of crufty articles are caught soon after creation, but many if not most users have become scared--yes, scared--of nominating schools because of the "All schools are auto-notable! How dare you call them otherwise?!?" crusade. You know full well how biased you are on this issue, and I am unsure as to whether you are seeing him in the best light.

- If there were an effective Wikischools project, I would be inclined to merge schools on Wikipedia into articles reflecting their type/geography (e.g. high schools in California) - but I fear that such a project would be an excuse to shunt them away, not an engine to grow knowledge on them. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 14:08, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  - The flip side is that, if you just happened upon Wikipedia for the first time, would you be more impressed if you found a dozen pages of the type "[school] is a [type] school in [city], [country]. It goes from grades [x] to [y] and has [z] students", or if you saw a 12-paragraph-long article about all of the high schools in a city? My guess would be the latter. Personally, I think that consolidating articles would encourage expansion more than a bunch of individual substubs, and if the article gets too big the individual schools can always be spun out. While I'm dreaming, it would be nice if people took a top-down approach to creating school articles, by first creating articles on the city and/or schools in the district, and once those are comprehensive, moving on to individual schools. Anyway, merge and redirect to Rehovot. JYolkowski // talk 22:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    - Indeed, that's the sort of crap I saw here when I first visited WP back in... 2002? 2003? Somewhere round there. It was mostly crappy and I was unimpressed. As it is we now have thousands of pages' worth of stunning information, but we've still got some crappy hangons. Yes a Wikischools project would seem to be getting rid of them, but then this whole "schools are auto-notable!!!" problem would be gone--it would be THEIR problem to fix and Vfd the schools. Every single one of these school-deletion pages is being made to sound like it's a heartfelt "ethical" debate about things that are essential to the forwarding of mankind's collective consciousness, and that's just bull. Complete and utter bull. Either you vote or you don't, you don't try to make others' votes sound invalid based on their own perverted POV, which is the whole thing the Vfd rests upon for its conclusions.

Delete: Substub with no content. A fact is not an article. Wikipedia is not the Yellow Pages. This particular piece of mud has been on the site for about a year now. It inspired a vaccuous yelling match last time, and the usual suspects showed up, without reading it, voting automatcally, "Keep: All School Articles Must Be Kept No Matter What." It got kept. Well, it hasn't been improved in all that time. So what, exactly, is the eventualist and schoolfanboi position again? Schools should be kept because they're inherently significant (but the articles that show no significance must not be judged) and eventually someone will make it full? N.b. none of the "keep all schools" people seem to actually want to improve any of the articles, and the eventualists defer the obligation eternally onto the imagined Other.

Keep. This school is ranked #274 on Newsweek's list of the Best High Schools in America. -- BD2412 ^talk 23:07, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
Delete. Non-notable even if only 273 U.S. high schools are better. I question the value of Newsweek's list anyway. A Florida school on VfD was also ranked, but the WP article notes that the school has below average graduation rate and SAT scores. What the heck is Newsweek scoring the schools on? Quale 00:10, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Read the article - some formula based on the number of AP/IB credits earned per graduate, and taking into account the poverty level as determined by the number of students who qualify for free lunches. Anyway, this site says that there are "22,000 plus high schools in the United States", so this one is in the top 1.5%. Unlike some of my colleagues here, I do not believe that every high school is notable - but I think the ones on the Newsweek list - which covers about the top 5% ranked by some empirical method - certainly are. -- BD2412 ^talk 02:50, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
  - Clearly I disagree about the value of the Newsweek list, which is just a point in time measure in any case. It certainly provides no historical perspective on a school. Anyway, if you don't think that every high school is notable, have you voted delete on any of them? Just wondering. Quale 15:37, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I am doing my best to continue to add information and others have already started to help. I would appreciate it if this article was not deleted so I can continue to expand it and work my way through the wiki process. A look should be taken at the three other elementary schools in Palo Alto with pages. Two are also up for deletion and have similiar disscussions taking place.

Polite Query :: for how many centuries, and in how many cultures, does a word have to be used before it is accepted (by Wikipaedians) as no longer a neologism ?--Simon Cursitor 06:59, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The criteria is rather how wide-spread the use of such a term is. But even if this term was notable, it would be hardly worth an entry in WP and would likely be merged or tagged for a move to the wiktionary. Rl 08:32, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The issue is usage. If a word is used only in a small area (Rochester, MN), it is a regionalism when it has been in use for a while. If a word is used only in a class/profession, it is jargon or slang, but it has to live for a while, and it has to have quite a few speakers. The reason it has to live for a while is that lexicons are always behind the usage (even Wiktionary). Linguistic atlases try to explain and catalog what's happening now, but all lexicons are attempting to explain to someone else what a word means; they are all translations. There can be no someone else if the word is used for a season or a month. However, all of this is kind of irrelevant, because Wikipedia is not Wiktionary. Geogre 11:19, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, vanity. Cora-bora is definitely not a "modernised" name for a corroboree, the word corroboree is still in use. --bainer 13:18, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think you've misread this. This institute offers professional qualifications in psychotherapy accredited by the United Kingdom Council for Psychotherapy (which is one of two independent national accreditation bodies recognised for psychotherapists used by the UK National Health Service) and masters degrees accredited by Middlesex University. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. I created the article. While I am an ex Karuna student (91-95), it can in no way be considered an ad as I have completely lost connection with them, and they are, anyway, a charitable institute, which is one of the reasons I had no hesitation in starting the article. The Institute is clearly notable, it is a nationally recognised training institute for psychotherapy (one of only 2 for transpersonal psychology) and craniosacral therapy as well. Both Maura Sills and Franklyn Sills clearly each deserve an article (perhaps now is the time to start). While I have felt it is a shame that no-one else (ex students etc) has added to this article it clearly has a vast potential as an article. The buddhist psychotherapy work they are doing is certainly unique in the UK and possibly the world. Why would anyone think this article is not encyclopedic.

Jewish Renegades

This is an article by an anonymous user. It is a concoction of part "original research" part selective biographies, and part deceptive "self-adulation" (then again, maybe "self-hate"), about some personalities that will surely be offensive to people of all stripes. Religious Jews will wonder how their VIPs get lumped with secular ones and secular people will wonder why their VIPs are the same as ancient rabbis. Then everyone else is bound to wonder what's next? Christian Renegades? Islamic Renegades? etc, etc, Since when is "renegades" an acceptable title for an encyclopedia article? This is too contentious and hopelessly POV.

Delete. Unbelievably POV. The term "renegade" is loaded in itself, unless the person has declared "I am a Jewish renegade and proud of it". This cannot be said about Maimonides; like with any visionary there were initial difficulties with the acceptance of his views, but today you will not find a serious Jew who is anti-Maimonides; quite the opposite - every group has tried to colonise Maimonides to gain legitimacy (yes that is POV as well). The article is also selective - there are plenty of Jews who have had profound influence on Jewish religion, people and history. What about the Maharal, the Baal Shem Tov, the Vilna Gaon and Samson Raphael Hirsch? JFW | T@lk 16:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Confuseable

This seems to be original research, a neologism, and hopelessly POV about the use of English to describe the computer industry. Best to delete it. AlexTiefling 15:09, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

delete neologistic rant --Doc Glasgow 15:52, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, vanity neologism, article content begins "Confuseable is a word that I created to fill a semantic void." No indication of widespread use to merit transwikification to Wiktionary. However, it's a good word in a non-lexical usage: I have often admitted to being confuseable in the early morning. Barno 19:10, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
The best bit is where the author (writing in the first person, by the way) mis-spells xyr own protologism and accidentally uses the word confusable. The irony is that "confuseable" has been a mis-spelling of confusable for a long while before this author "invented" it. The word that the author is groping for is ambiguous. Adjective→noun Redirect to ambiguity. Uncle G 19:16, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

insidious

For the prior VFD discussion of this article see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Insidious/2005 May 8.

This three-word article about a word was nominated for deletion on 2005-05-08. SimonP closed the discussion as Wiktionary without checking Wiktionary first, where he would have seen that as the Wikipedia discussion had trundled along, completely independently a Wiktionarian had created a proper Wiktionary article at insidious. Much as I dislike immediate re-nominations, this discussion needs to be re-opened because the choice made at closure had actually disappeared as a valid option almost a week earlier (a day before Texture said "if it isn't already there", moreover). Wiktionary has no need of this three word article. No adjective→noun redirects come to mind. And there's no concept/place/person/event/thing for an encyclopaedia article to be about. Uncle G 15:26, 2005 May 17 (UTC)

Delete or speedy delete as duplicate material. If it already exists at Wiktionary, then I believe this is CSD, and not even VfD. If it cannot stand as an encyclopedia article (and it sure as shootin' can't), then there isn't any debate. 162.39.237.201 18:43, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Juliet (artist)

vanity. If she's a one-hit wonder, would she rate a page in a regular encyclopedia; if she was an up and coming artist, there would be more about her here in which case the page would still be vanity. Delete. --Mitsukai 16:17, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Aside from being non-notable it is questionable if she is an "artist" or only a "vocalist". Its also a bad stub. --Modi 16:24, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Being a bad stub does not prevent notability. Hedley 16:51, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Ridiculous VfD for a released artist. Amongst the 43,500 results on Google for "Juliet - Avalon" ([2]) are the page on HMV.co.uk: [3], the page on CDUniverse [4] and a lot of lyrics sites, reviews and forums mentioning the song. If required I have the music video as featured on First Play in the UK a couple of months ago. I think that a simple visit to Google would have prevented this - Also, how is it vanity unless I am connected to the artist? Hedley 16:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment.I restate my last: "If she's a one-hit wonder, would she rate a page in a regular encyclopedia"? We kill pages off here all the time for minor artist and people who reached number one in Sheboygan. While I will admit that she hit it big in Europe (no small feat that), the fact is, she's a minor artist at the moment and not worth, IMHO, an encyclopedia entry. I wouldn't expect Sonoko Kawaii (a Japanese one-hit wonder from the 80s) to have a page here, either, would I for American, Canadian, Australian, or wherever. --Mitsukai 17:07, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I would vote keep on an article for Sonoko Kawaii too. As Kappa states below she has had a minor hit - Infact, it wasn't minor, it was a top 5 hit on the Eurodance Chart and made the European Charts. See the Eurodance chart there: [5], the song is currently #9 on the chart. As for the one-hit wonder query - Well, a lot of one-hit wonders have articles - See New Radicals for a perfect example.

Robert Thompson (cartoonist)

Unverifiable. A Google search on "Zen of Smurf" returns zero hits. A Google search on the name (which is common) doesn't return anything apparently related to cartooning or children's shows.

Dude, you're dead wrong about the page not being helpful. Being a participant in a now-resolved lengthy edit war over getting a definition of capitalism in the capitalism article, I know that the creation and editing of the definitions of capitalism article was essential and instrumental. If it's deleted, I predict more unnecessary edit-warring from people who have no clue how capitalism is commonly defined and who are unwilling to go research tons of dictionaries, encyclopedia, and works of thinkers to find out. The article serves to consolidate all of that research in one place to avoid unnecessary battling in the capitalism article. The claim that's it's not useful is definitely wrong.

      - Your argument is a false characterization. This article is exactly copying entries from twenty-six dictionaries (and three encyclopaedias), rather than "quoting one paragraph from a dictionary". If you think that copying copyrighted dictionaries and encyclopaedias into WikiMedia project articles is acceptable, then you should discuss this with the WikiMedia Foundation, and on the talk pages of the various copyright policies for all of the WikiMedia projects, which all say otherwise. (You'll have a have a hard time of it. The GFDL is a foundation issue, and non-negotiable.) Why did you think that Wiktionarians and Wikipedians are specifically pointed in the directions of Webster 1913 and Britannica 1911? There's plenty of explanation, of why Wiktionary and Wikipedia must not copy (non-GFDL licenced) copyrighted dictionaries and encyclopaedias, linked to from our copyright policy, a link to which is on this and every page, and no need for us to spoon-feed it to you in this discussion. Please go and read it all. Uncle G 15:53, 2005 May 19 (UTC)
        Your reasoningis strange. So what if it's "twenty-six" dictionaries? If it's not a copyright violation to provide a quote from one dictionary, then it's not a violation to quote a definition from a hundred different dictionaries. RJII 19:06, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I have written a notification on Wikipedia:Copyvio so that it can be decided if the content is appropriate. - Mike Rosoft 16:45, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It has already been decided. Definitions of socialism was listed there on 2005-05-08 and deleted on 2005-05-16 after the discussion period. As I said, this is simple re-creation of content deleted per the copyright violation deletion process, and qualifies for speedy deletion. Uncle G 15:53, 2005 May 19 (UTC)

Very useful information, keep and improve. Short sourced quotes within a context are not copyvios.--Fenice 08:29, 20 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep -- very useful, in that it allows editors to get beyond unresolvable definitional disputes in the capitalism and socialism article. Also, I'm not buying the copyright claim. These defs are all within the meaning of fair use SFAIK. --Christofurio 03:10, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Strong Keep -- yes, wiktionary is indeed for definitions, but also for pronunciations, etc, as long as it is an aid for use in language. Wiktionary is also for the simple definitions of words. However, these articles address the definitions is the context of the idea or philosophy, which can never be dictionary-like, for it is no longer a guide for language use but rather another body of knowledge. I suggest though, one, to restore the articles but edit it according to the definitions of notable people, rather than dictionaries, and two, to discuss the history of how those definitions began, developed, and evolved. Making the articles like that will resolve all standing issues. --Humble Guy 15:37, May 22, 2005 (UTC)
Delete -- integrate content into capitalism and socialism articles, respectively. If a consensus cannot be reached on how to define socialism and capitalism, simple give multiple definitions in the introductions to their two articles and explain which group uses which definition (although I really can't see why it's so hard to reach a consensus, especially on capitalism - in general, both supporters and opponents of capitalism define it in the same way). -- Mihnea Tudoreanu 21:24, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Not true. I just, a minute ago, had to revert a change in the definition. Somebody tried to assert that it's commonly defined as an economy where "capitalists" dictate prices, etc, rather than the market. This is probably because the definitions of capitalism article is unavailable right now. The definitions article helps prevent useless battles over how capitalism is commonly defined. Apparently a lot of people have no clue. RJII 21:39, 22 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Ludicrously broad, completely unmaintainable. Would need constant updating, as CEOs come and go like fireflies. Try a Google News search for "new CEO" to see what I mean: in the past 5 hours alone, at least 6 major companies switched CEOs. Intel's getting a new CEO tomorrow.

Non-policy reason: Rant from a tripping grad student, apparently. Quotes from article, more telling than the author realizes: "The purpose of this paper is to delve into this uncertainty, examine it, and see if meaningful distinctions can be made between the two categories I have parceled out as segments of the identities cited by the thing which creates meaningfulness for each person who experiences a perception of reality."; "it would be appropriate for us to do without thinking.

- Request removal of article to BJAODN, since I want it to be preserved, and, evidently my article isn't going to be treated as if it were an extrapolation of non-original research derived from Deridda, Foucalt, Stephen Hawking, Stephen Pinker, John Stuart Mill, Bertrand Russel, and Kurt Godel's GIT. Once again, I'm requesting removal of all my explications of evolution to BJAODN, so that in case of a revolution similar to ones discussed by Thomas Kuhn occurs, the synthesis I have provided will not be lost. Besides, it was intended as a slightly humorous articulation of some of the major problems with the current process of history in the first place.

He had four sons and a daughter, which is more than Thomas Fitzalan and Elizabeth le Despenser, apparently. Eleanor Maltravers outdoes all three by inheriting something from her step-grandmother and her sister, though. Wikipedia is not a genealogical database.

Delete I disagree with the deletion request. While the questionable copyright should certainly be investigated and, if necessary, repaired, there are numerous articles on fictitious species (such as "Bugs (Starship Troopers)") which have virtually no information, speculative or otherwise, yet are not under consideration. While this article could be improved with additional links to factual information (perhaps such as marsupial biology/development), but such changes would be better made with small modifications rather than deletion.

Delete. It's nonsense. The article seems to describe a structure consisting of

An algebra of A operators on functions defined on R generated by the integral translation operators and a single scaling operator. This group of operators is isomorphic to the group a x+b for a, b rational numbers acting on functions
a linear functional, eg. point evaluation at 0. It follows that evaluation at any point is determined by continuoity and application of a x+b transformations.

However, as noted previously, the commutation relations for the action of the a x+b group are wrong.--CSTAR 00:29, 21 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Delete votes make no sense — is the article not verifiable and NPOV? It is also capable of infinite expansion. Quale 00:28, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Verifiable. NPOV. Capable of (infinite) organic growth. Entirely composed of padding made up of trivial, contrived, and unedifying data, in a desperate attempt to justify the existence of a separate article on a thing which is just like a huge list of other things, when the encyclopaedic approach would be to have general articles on the aspects of all of the things in the set, presenting knowledge, rather than individual entries for each one, presenting mere data. Hmmm. Where have I seen this before? Delete. Uncle G 03:22, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

- Wiktionary doesn't want Wikipedia's cast offs. But it will take articles about words and about idioms that meet the Wiktionary:criteria for inclusion, and as long as it doesn't have articles already. (Wiktionary passed the 70,000 word milestone a short while ago.) Uncle G 11:25, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

Theta calculus

Original research by User:Dirnstorfer alias User:Dadim. The article establishes a notation, which uses function composition in the opposite way, without explaining why it is useful. As far as I can see, nobody but the author uses this notation. Mathematical Reviews has not heard about it. Related articles by the same author are Evaluation operator (now deleted, see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Evaluation operator) and Multiscale calculus (see Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Multiscale calculus).

Delete. If you click through the first external link and read the paper, it's basically been cut up and pasted in, making the article just a copy of the primary source. Show me someone using this mathematics and I'll show you a keep vote. ESkog 22:57, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Sholtar 03:48, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure about this one. This page is cross-linked in several other notable articles. Are the entries in those articles also by the same author? Or are those researched cross-links by other contributors? Operator calculus is perfectly valid, and this just appears to be a notational form of said calculus. — RJH 15:27, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- What links here shows that the only pages in the main space linking to theta calculus are calculus (disambiguation) (link added by Dirnstorfer), derivative security (link added (diff) by User:213.20.164.133, who has made no other contributions) and strategy (game theory) (written by Dirnstorfer).

Delete. Unless we also want pages called May there Always Be Sunshine, May There Always Be sunshine, May There Always Be SunshinE, etc.--Heathcliff 23:29, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Since the edit history shows that Cmapm created the article and then immediately tagged it for deletion, I'm guessing that this is a leftover after a page move. If that is the case, there are several reasons to leave it as a redirect. 1) It points the other contributors to the new location. 2) It catches any missed inbound links. (Even if you clean out "What links here", a revert can restore an old link.) 3) Redirects are cheap. We don't go out of our way to create new redirects for every conceivable misspelling but once one exists, we generally keep the redirect. (By the way, this really should have been nominated at Redirects for deletion.) Rossami (talk) 01:23, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

You are absolutely right, it was my mistake and I moved it to one with correct name. Your second point is very interesting. I didn't create any links to it myself, but there IS non-zero probability that such link may be found in the history of at least one page in Wikipedia. It seems to me that it is very close to zero, though. Therefore, I don't change my vote delete for it, although I promise to place such things under Redirects for deletion next time :-) Cmapm 16:04, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Note from poster I personally do think that schools are important. When I posted this for vfd, it pretty much said the name of the school and the "fact" that it was "one of the best middle schools" in the area. Now, the article is looking better and I have changed my vote. So this is not a part of some "massive deletion campaign." I personally lean towards the inclusionist side of things. zellin 14:38, May 21, 2005 (UTC)
