The result of the debate was KEEP. Two votes for delete, three for merge, three for keep = a clear consensus to keep the information, just not a consensus on where to put it. Merge if you like. I am, however, moving it to the correct name. Golbez 18:19, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

Quotative evidental mood[edit]

Made up and the name is mispelled. Atomiktoaster 00:35, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Bad joke (but not BJAODN bad). -- BD2412 ^talk 00:46, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
  • Changing to no vote, per those who know more than I about grammar. -- BD2412 ^talk 14:41, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• I've heard that I want to vote for Deletion. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 02:08, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The article describes (very briefly) a real grammatical category in many languages - e.g., [1]. Not sure if quotative and hearsay markers should get their own article or just be redirected to Evidentiality.--Chris Johnson 04:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with evidentiality. It's real but it's better discussed at that page. --Angr/_{tɔk tə mi} 07:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge&Redirect per Chris and Angr. Blackcats 09:51, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, maybe merge into Grammatical mood. The creator's other contributions (made at the same time) make a joke rather unlikely. To me as a layman it looks like the work of a specialist. Also note: Check out Category:Grammatical moods. Most of the articles in that category were written by the same user who created this one, and they should probably all be treated like this one. Rl 11:31, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Oh keep. Dunno how this one got itself listed. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. This kind of analysis of modality and mood does occur in linguistics. Looking at mailing list archives, I see a close fit to the mood described here given among others in a review of Palmer, Frank R. (2001) Mood and Modality, 2nd ed. Cambridge University Press, hardback ISBN 0-521-80035-8, xxi+236pp, $64. 95, Cambridge Textbooks in Linguistics (1st ed. 1986; paperback ISBN 0-521-80479-5).

• Keep but move to correct spelling. These pages, while likely to be stubby, are convenient to link to from grammar descriptions in language articles. - Mustafaa 17:56, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

JG-Leathers[edit]

• Keep - this page was here before it was added to by what appears to be its subject, who does appear to be notable. -- The Anome 13:34, Jun 8, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Advertising. As for the notability, we're talking about notable in a subculture of a subculture of a subculture that's largely underground. It would be a tough case to make on those grounds, but the article is advertising at present. Geogre 02:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Describing this particular subculture/fetish as a "subculture of a subculture of a subculture" is an exaggeration, in any case, and subcultural notability is still notability -- otherwise, do we also delete mathematicians who belong to obscure specialisms? -- Karada 08:40, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Bum Rape Island[edit]

This article is not quite encyclopedic, not notable, unneccesarily vulgar, there are no links to it, etc... Should be Deleted -- Rmrfstar 01:00, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Wikipedia is not a list of websites or website synopses. In addition, the user that posted this has done many other vandalism edits that have been reverted, including posting links to "bumrapeisland"'s website in various entries. Strong Delete. jglc | t | c 17:34, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I've no doubt it was posted for the purpose of vandalism. However this is quite an innovative website and I can't think of a good reason to delete it. "Wikipedia isn't a list of..." arguments always seem to me to miss the point. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia and so it should document interesting websites. What is interesting and what is not interesting, of course, is a matter on which we can differ. I happen to find that kind of weirdness interesting. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. It seems that a lot of people find it uninteresting, though. This site is one step below an internet meme, and that's about the cutoff for internet notoriety, IMHO. jglc | t | c 18:43, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Absolutely. I don't expect many people to find it interesting. I like it though. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 19:06, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • comment. Sorry if I came off too harsh. You're a reasonable man. jglc | t | c 19:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

DELETE just dumb

• Comment. In response to Tony, who I think makes some good points, I would have to say that the notability is more important than interest. Wikipedia does not cover every thing that is interesting to someone, rather only notable, important, influential ones and this page is none of those. The site is literally a joke. Geogre and jglc make good points. The article says nothing about the website that is significant, it just mentions its existence. Every single website on the internet does not deserve its own Wikipedia article because it is interesting to a few people, unless the site actually has a significant impact on something. -- Rmrfstar 05:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I find myself in full agreement with all the arguments in favor of deletion, except the particular one that this article is deletable. This is in my opinion a truly remarkable site, a boys' illustrated war story transformed into a grotesquely absurd and comic sadomasochistic fantasy. While I understand that there are many samizdat works similar to this in Japanese manga and anime, I believe that this work may well be sui generis in European folk art. It has much of the exuberance and energy of obscene toilet graffiti. So I just cannot bring myself to vote for deletion. This is quite simply the most remarkable website I have ever encountered. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:41, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete per Rmrfstar's argument. carmeld1 06:27, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It is an 'interesting' site, Wikipedia loses interest if it becomes an 'academic only' encyclopedia instead of a encyclopedia that is broad as can be in scope. --ShaunMacPherson 12:32, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. The argument is not whether or not the site is academic or interesting; it is whether it is notable enough in its interest to be retained. jglc | t | c 13:23, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. Not necessarily. There is no consensus for website notability, and I'm sure we have many non-notable websites that have been kept. There is room in Wikipedia policy for the exercise of discretion. This website is indisputably non-notable but this doesn't mean it should necessarily be deleted. If it's deleted I'll probably include it in an article about the use of graffiti in art and the artistic role of vandalism. From toilet walls to Orton and Halliwell's defaced library books, it's a very interesting subject. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 13:40, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment. I like that idea, actually. Why not add a subsection (essentially a merge) to an artistic vandalism article (is there one? If not, it sounds like a wonderful idea) and redirect from the current article. I don't feel as though it deserves a standalone entry, but it would be a great case study. jglc | t | c 15:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • comment That is true, but why not set the notibility bar very low, just above vanity pages? There seems to be enough room to accomodate interesting yet esoteric pages. In fact I'd allow vanity pages as long as they were verifiable as notibility it seems is a POV concept that is apt to be abused esp. when censoring controversial ideas. Best we stay way from 'notibility' in my mind. --ShaunMacPherson 13:42, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Doreen Chanter[edit]

Was a back up singer in the 1970s, does not meet music or biography criteria, delete--nixie 01:38, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep as a redirect to Chanter Sisters - This site makes the parenthetical note of Doreen and Irene Chanter that "The Chanter sisters' stellar credits include work with Elton John, Long John Baldry, Chris Farlowe, Phil Manzanera, Roxy Music, John Miles, The Secret Policeman's Ball, Van Morrison, Roger Waters, Meatloaf, Joe Cocker and many other famous names." That pushes them over the notability bar for me. -- BD2412 ^talk 01:59, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
  • After additional research, it is clear that the subject of this article is notable in her own right apart from her work with her sister. -- BD2412 ^talk 13:18, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Keep Notable (if obscure) musician. Formerly in The Chanters, Birds of a Feather (Elton John played on their album!), The Chanter Sisters, and tons of backup work.

Donna Denize has won awards for her teaching, been featured on PBS for her teaching and is a published poet---I don't see you published BaronLarf and Geogre. Also, I don't see fellow teacher and published author Curtis Sittenfeld being criticized for having a vanity page.

Comment: You have references for these achievements? If so, add them to the article and indicate that you have so that people can re-evaluate. As for whether I am published or not, I should imagine that you have no idea, as I haven't written an article about myself or my real name. Would it change anything if I were really Dr. Bigshot at Prestige U.? No. The least talented child can tell good writing from bad, good painting from bad, and anyone on Wikipedia can assess whether an article is an advertisement and puff piece or not.

• Keep Donna Denize is an incredible teacher, philosopher, and a friend to all those whom she knows. After just completing two semesters of ninth grade english with her, I am convinced that Ms. Denize is worthy of having a web page on Wikipedia because of her unique teaching style and her love of literature and passion for art. Ms. Denize is committed to educating her students about society's evils and downfalls and convincing the future generations (me) that change is necessary in this country's policies concerning war, government, and education. If people want to know more about her, there should be a medium to inform people of her life, and I believe that Wikipedia should take responsibility for its mission in this incredible web site. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.200.254.34 (talk • contribs) 15:50, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • While I vote a weak keep as well, the anonymous, assumedly 14- or 15-year-old, user is entirely incorrect. "...her unique teaching style and her love of literature and passion for art" are in no means the reason for anyone at all to have a Wikipedia entry. In fact, if someone's wikipedia entry was based solely on their "love of literature," that would be a good candidate for a VfD. The reason that Ms. Denize deserves a wikipedia article is for her contributions to the field of literature and teaching - not her personality. In addition, let me note that she is not a philosopher. jglc | t | c 15:54, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Research results

• Comment: A quick spot of on Google turned up the following: she is a Baha'i chaplain at American University. "The Word Works[7] selected Broken Like Job by Donna Denize for publication..." "Donna Denize, a Smithsonian-featured teacher" has contributed to a PBS course[8]. The Library of Congress lists her as a poet, special guest at a ceremony honouring Sterling Brown and Gwendolyn Brooks.
• On the other hand, there were only 64 hits for the search string "Donna Denize." 39 of these were unique hits. A good number of them were for another "Donna Denize," a librarian in Auckland, New Zealand. Several others were hits on the internal St. Alban's school website.. I found no evidence whatsoever of Ms. Denize receiving nominations or accolades in the field of teaching.
• In summary? Ms. Denize is technically a published poet (uncertain as to the status of the publisher - it has certain earmarks of a vanity press). She has collaborated with PBS, but not necessarily in a notable or biographically significant way. She seems to be skirting notability; I can't make a call on this one. jglc | t | c 15:31, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. In response to the anon 69.72.29.38, I would point out that after this article was posted on VfD by BaronLarf and after Geogre and BD2412 voted, I searched the Internet and added material from several different sources. That may not have changed their votes but in fairness to them no one should judge their votes based on the current shape of the article. DS1953 16:47, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • In the future, please do not hesitate to drop a note on my talk page if you feel that an article I've voted to delete has been improved enough to substantiate asking me to reconsider my vote. I've withdrawn my vote on this one. Cheers. -- BD2412 ^talk 22:55, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

• Keep A political office is a political office, and the holder of one is a politican. Many Americans are uninformed about the vital role that Soil and Water Conservation Districts play in the absolutely necessary agricultural community. The goal of this article is to act as a reference to concerning the work of one such individual serving on a SWC Board. More of this individual's work on the board will be posted in the future.

Moreover there is not enough information in Wikipedia concerning local-level politicians, except of course in large cities. This is an unjust double standard that works against smaller communities, although they are just as unique as their larger cousins. Wikipedia should work to correct this bias against small localities and recognize their important contributions to the fabric of America. Khatores

Sharing_a_bed[edit]

Doesn't contain any meaningful information and is very poorly organized and composed. Maybe redirect to co-sleeping? Asarkees 02:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Weak delete. This is really an effort to combine several tertiarily related topics (which already have articles) into a single article. The only common thread is that they have to do with more than one person and a bed. I don't think a redirect to co-sleeping would be quite right, as "sharing a bed" has often been a euphamism for sex. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:33, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Delete and/or Merge with co-sleeping as another section of it. The perception of two people of different gender in one bed having sex is so omnipresent, that it could be included there. The judical explanations and the bond to M. Jackson's case is ceratinly a relevant piece of information. Oneliner 09:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: I'm afraid that I can't quite agree, although I would like to, that there is a salvage here. My biggest problem is the nebulousness of the name, which requires an ill-jointed discussion. There are nuggets here and there that ought to be preserved, but these aren't very substantial. Until the 1960's, sharing a bed would have been the fate of most children, so any scandalousness is either because of the euphemism or because of our reactions to the pedophilia scares of the 1980's.

The result of the debate was -- The option that appeals most to me is the last one given - Nuke the article (It has no unique information; two of the names are red, and the only blue name is already in Indian mathematicians) and then move Indian mathematicians to this article. So it is written, so let it be done. --Golbez 18:56, Jun 20, 2005 (UTC)

List of Indian mathematicians[edit]

This list is not significant enough to warrant a seperate article. There are only three entries here, only one of which has a real article. There is alread a List of mathematicians article. List of Indian mathematicians is somewhat presumptous and nationalistic considering there is no such list for famous French or English or Russian mathematicians, who greatly out-number Indian ones. 172.144.98.81 03:10, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The list would look a lot better if it wasn't looks a lot better when not divided into mostly-empty alphabetical categories (really that's what makes it appear presumptious). But it seems that the better practice would be to make the missing lists (French, English, Russian mathematicians), which would certainly be in keeping with lists of persons in various other fields by nationality. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:51, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Keep. I've seen much more insignificant lists. Make lists for countries with substantial mathematical traditions. --Barfooz (talk) 05:49, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The problem isn't the existence of this list, it's the lack of the existence of the other lists for French and Russian mathematicians, IMO. --Mysidia 07:37, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Create categories for Indian, French, Russian etc. mathematicians instead of creating more lists - Skysmith 08:43, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Categories cannot be annotated, formatted, rearranged, easily copied, merged or split, or have multiple titles for the same entry. They also don't work on most wikipedia mirrors. Kappa 09:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • While there are merits to the points in your first sentence, it's not our task to worry about Wikipedia mirrors, which in general disregard GFDL freedoms/protections and don't contribute to the cost of all this not-paper. Barno 19:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge. until with Indian mathematicians until the list has some more meat to it. And note to Skysmith, lists and categories are different and can be used simultaneously. Putting red links at the top of cats is ugly and you can't add b-dates to them. - Mgm|^(talk) 09:04, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

    • I did read the article. How else could I have said "this is useful information"? The article's contents are useful, but they belong in the GOTO article, not in an article about one, essentially entirely random, line of program code. If I had based my judgement solely on the title, I would most likely have slapped a speedy delete tag on the article. — JIP | Talk 09:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I agree that it is notable, but it should be merged with GOTO. the wub (talk) 07:48, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge - with Gotoor with BASIC programming language - of which this is an example. Yes, I can get nostalgic too, but Goto is/was one of many keywords in that language. If kept then expect to see articles on 'next n' 'for a=1 to 6' 'load ""', poke, peek, etc - each with arbitrary variables and numbers before and after them. (If you are under 27, then please abstain as you will not know what we're talking about) --Doc (?) 08:23, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Article GOTO Merge. Would be far more useful in expanding the article "Goto" -- AllyUnion (talk) 08:54, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not about GOTO. Kappa 13:16, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with GOTO. If we keep this we set precedent for keeping "30 GOTO 10", "60 GOTO 20", etc. It's best to keep as an example of GOTO. Mgm|^(talk) 09:12, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • This title gets the most hits. What program would "30 goto 10" represent? Kappa 13:16, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • What program do you think "20 GOTO 10" represents? This isn't the name of the program. (That would be something like "HELLO.BAS".) It's just one line of code from the program. Programmers do not refer to this program by the name "20 GOTO 10". And there are plenty of other programs that happen to contain this line of code, such as this one or this one, that have nothing whatever to do with this article. Programmers refer to these as infinite loops. The only thing that "20 GOTO 10" is actually the name of is, ironically, an album. Uncle G 18:38, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• The article about hello world programs does comprise examples in many programming languages. The hello world program article is not entitled 10 PRINT "Hello World", after one line of code in one "hello world" program in one particular programming language. Drawing an analogy to hello world program also draws our attention to infinite loop. And, I often RENUMbered from 100, anyway. ☺ This is the wrong title. Merge as per everyone else. Uncle G 11:28, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
  • You are suggesting merging this because it has "the wrong title"? It makes a horrible fit with Goto. Also it gets far more google hits (11,700) than 200 goto 100 (88). Kappa 13:16, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Google hits are a poor metric in this case, and are an entirely useless mechanism for deciding upon a sensible encyclopaedia article title here. There's an awful lot of source code indexed by Google Web, and random lines of code are not sensible encyclopaedia article titles. The fact that, for example GOTO :LOOP gets three times that number of hits doesn't mean that it is a sensible article title. Another example: puts("hello world") gets over a million hits, but no experienced C programmer will tell you that that is a sensible title for the article that we actually have at hello world program, even though that latter only garners roughly 55,000 hits, 1/20th of the number that the line of C code does. The best solution is transwiki to Wikibooks and then merge to Wikibooks:QBasic:Flow Control, since this is really the annotated development of one specific small BASIC program. But since JIP thinks that the article should be kept, a merger, either to infinite loops or to GOTO, is a compromise. Uncle G 18:38, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
    • Using the default increment the next line number after 100 is 110, not 200, by the way. Uncle G 18:38, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Merge with GOTO. An article based on a command should be in that command, anything else is plain stupid. I'll happily do the merge myself Proto 15:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not an article based on a command. Kappa 17:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, if the focus of the article is the line of code "20 GOTO 10", which it is purported to be, it is. The description of this line of code given in the article "repeats the PRINT command in the program without stopping", is, simply, false. (I've linked to two examples above where "20 GOTO 10" doesn't "repeat PRINT commands" at all.) If the focus is not "20 GOTO 10", then this isn't about the line of code, but about a specific program containing that and another line of code, and the article is at the very least mistitled because the line of code is not the name of the program, as already explained. Uncle G 18:38, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
• Delete drini ☎ 18:39, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to GOTO or BASIC programming language or even Infinite loop if we have to keep something, or just delete, but either way, do not redirect this title. I've been a programmer since 1977 starting with BASIC, and I can confirm the arguments made by JIP, Doc, and Uncle G. Kappa's logic completely escapes me (a statement which itself should be in an unterminated loop). Barno 19:32, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. If redirected, it should goto Infinite loop, not Goto. "Merge" doesn't make sense because there is nothing in the text worth preserving. Google stats are very slippery here: There are 63,800 hits for "GOTO 10", of which only 11,700 are for "10 GOTO 20", 4590 for "10 GOTO 10", 1260 for "20 GOTO 20", etc. -R. S. Shaw 20:11, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I revise my vote to delete or merge into Infinite loop. The infinite loop article could use a simpler example (after all, the reader doesn't know too much about programming). The 20 GOTO 10 program would do nicely, and from what I gather has been used as a such a teaching exercise. -R. S. Shaw 02:39, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. for(;;) and while(1) are even more common programming constructs, but we don't have (and don't need) articles on them. --Carnildo 21:53, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Infinite loop or Goto. Flawiki 23:45, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)
  • Revising my vote to Delete due to Carnildo's comments, and also because the 20 GOTO 10 seems a poor index for one seeking information about either infinite loops or BASIC's GOTO. Even in classic BASIC there might be nineteen lines of instructions before it, some of them terminating with STOPs or containing other infinite loops (the possibilities are, shall I dare say, infinite?). Flawiki 22:27, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
    • I challenge you to find a single mention of this with more than one other line Kappa 22:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

      • easy. From the first page of Google Web results, even. This is not the name of the program, nor is it an article title that programmers will look for, nor is the occurrence or meaning of this line of code as specific as this article erroneously says it to be. The thing that this is the name of is an album. Uncle G 03:44, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
        • I believe that this album is indeed named after the program. The fact that someone would choose this particular line as an album name proves it has more significance than the sum of its parts. Kappa 04:45, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • It proves nothing of the sort. Musicians will name albums, bands, and songs after all sorts of things, including error messages, bus routes, and code to access non-existent memory addresses on the Sinclair Spectrum. And the album isn't named after the program for the simple reason that this isn't the name of the program for it to be named after, any more than the several example lines of code already given by me and others are names of programs. Uncle G 14:12, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to GOTO or infinite loop. -Sean Curtin 06:54, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Goto - even if this is a meme, '20 goto 10' is not the usual title thereof. Radiant_>|< 09:23, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)
• Do not redirect concur with Barno - or else why not redirects from evey other imaginable program line number? Either merge or delete (I don't really care which) --Doc (?) 09:49, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Perhaps it could be restricted to redirects from titles with over 1,000 relevant google hits. Kappa 09:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • An article on the album might be decent. This article is actually a pretty poor one, containing factual errors. Uncle G 03:44, 2005 Jun 12 (UTC)

• Merge with goto  Celestianpower 13 June 2024

• Keep. This is a legitimate example of an infinite loop, or amusing example of use of goto. Could therefore belong in either Goto or Infinite Loop and be legitimately referenced in either. In itself it is not a very sensible article. Good programming style is never to write the same thing twice, so should be in a form where it can be referenced from either of the others. How else do you reference an item relevant to two articles on distinct subjects except to make it an article itself?Sandpiper 10:13, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Then why did you vote keep not merge? Superm401 | Talk 20:12, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

because if I was writing a database I would reference information where it was needed and store it in one place only. So I would make two references to the goto example, one in each place where it was relevant, and keep it separately. Perhaps wiki does not do things like that?Sandpiper 15:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Very strong delete. Dancing around useless code snippet that is not even funny. Should we also have articles while (true); or while (*s++ = *t++);? This should be encyclopedia and not garbage bin. Pavel Vozenilek 18:12, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with goto and redirect. However, I am skeptical of some of the assertions in the article. I.E. ""20 GOTO 10" is a program that is well known to BASIC programmers" and "the first program many of them have ever learned." They need references. I don't think it should be kept as its own article because it is not comprehensive enough on its own. That doesn't mean the topic isn't interesting. It just means it should be discussed as part of a greater context, in this case goto. Superm401 | Talk 20:17, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Table of all cities in the United States[edit]

I personally do not see a use for this article, nor do I think it is encyclopedic. It is also very, very long (it took me :30-:45 to load the page on a broadband connection). I nominated this article, and thus I abstain from voting. Sincerely, Short Verses 04:01, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. First, it is too big. Second, this is basically a text dump: it is essentially an abridged copy of a large data text file from the U.S. Bureau of the Census. I suggest we have a link to this data instead. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 04:22, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Not a table--format is bullet-list line items as "SN:Cityname", which I can't think of any practical use for. (And, at 721k, incomplete, List of all cities in the United States needs to be broken up, as well.) In managable chunks, I suppose Wikisource might be better for List of all cities in the United States, but this doesn't seem useful anywhere. Niteowlneils 15:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Update. I didn't notice List of all cities in the United States is also on VFD.

Islamophilia[edit]

Read this first[edit]

It seems many people are voting here before even reading the article, or doing sufficient research on the subject. The article is not about justifiying a point of view. It DOES NOT, or atleast is not meant to justify islamophobia or attacking Islam. It just describes a term being used increasingly by certain European politicians, sociologists and journalists. Please read the article, help making it NPOV and reconsider your vote.

AGAIN, THE USE OF ISLAMOPHILIA BY PROPONENTS MIGHT BE UNJUSTIFIED. BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT HERE. WE CAN'T DELETE AN ARTICLE ON SLAVERY SIMPLY BECAUSE IT IS A WRONG PRACTICE. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.151.238.172 (talk • contribs) 01:31, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Note: The initial vote to delete this article has been placed at the top of Votes: Delete for ease of vote counting.

Votes: Keep[edit]

1. Keep (BloodOfThePoet)Since "Islamophobic/Islamophobia" exists in the popular consciousness, the world press, and the educational establishment -and is gaining ground in the approved lexicon, there is a need to explore its conceptual antithesis, for a host of reasons: including the analytical, political, aesthetic, religious, philosophical, linguistic and even the counter-propagandistic. I commend the article writer, since, in contrast with at least 75% of what gets accepted in the Wikipedia 'canon', this submission is commendably researched, factually reinforced, literate, and, considering the comments for deleting it (a revealingly passionate compendium of reinforcing "interests" in something usually deadeningly dry and stultifyingly neutral like the discussion of a neologism), has hit such a nerve, that, for this reason alone, "Islamophila" deserves to remain. It will draw many new eyes to Wikipedi, and will allow scholars to fulfill their proper function of expanding the understanding of the human intellectual experiment. I find nothing offensive, anti-religious, biased, bigoted or improper with this article or this ingenious coinage. Keep it, and let it become enriched as the understanding of the word, and is roots, deepen in the interpenetration of cultures, "East" and "West". — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.20.176.72 (talk • contribs) 04:05, 19 Jun 2005
2. Keep (sockpuppet) This is a useful article that would benefit from more editing and contributions rather than removal. Just look at the amount of blind islamophilia that is doing rounds these days. Do a google search if you think it is neologism.
   • Vote by User:130.203.202.156 -- 15:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
3. Keep Of course my POV is biased as I am a major contributor to this page. Islamophilia is a neologism, as is islamophobia. I have rewritten the page to make it more NPOV. Critics are invited to improve the quality of the page as they seem fit. --Germen 15:38, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
4. Keep This is not an anti-islam propaganda article. It just describes people who try to atribute unreasonable characteristics to islam, and actually end up doing harm to Islam, for example, claiming that the Quran contains new scientific theories in a cryptic form, which, if decoded, can change the world, etc. I can understand that islamophiles would love to see such an article deleted, since they love to whitewash anything that THEY THINK reflects badly on Islam, or stops short of attributing to Islam all the best qualities possible. (Previous edit by User:70.105.179.96 -Blackcats 07:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC))
5. Keep (sockpuppet) Though it does certainly needs a cleanup. (Previous edit by User:128.118.126.8 -Blackcats 07:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)) - User's two edits are both to this VFD page. --FCYTravis 08:43, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

8. Keep (sockpuppet) It is a good start and probably needs expanding. Keep it. (Previous edit by User:209.76.108.207 -Blackcats 07:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)) - User's only edit is to this VFD page. --FCYTravis
9. Keep (sockpuppet) STOP ATTACHING SOCKPUPPET TO MY NAME, I only voted once! Either merge stub with related article or keep independent with expectation of expansion. Shouldn't be allowed to fall victim to PC reactionism.
   • Edit: Accusations of 'Sockpuppets' are underhanded attempts to negate votes. The reason the votes are in close proximity is because this Wiki entry has found its way onto a couple of forums. I removed 'sockpuppet' from my entry and included my wiki nickname. I find this tactic very cheap and not in the spirit of wiki. --UlulatingIdiota
     • If you read the Wikipedia:sockpuppet article you will see that any user with less than 100 edits, particularly a new user who immediately joins and starts making controversial edits or voting on VfDs, are generally considered to be sock puppets for the purposes of voting.

   • The addition to this vote was UlulatingIdiota's first edit. --W(t) 03:09, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC)
10. Keep (sockpuppet) The vote of the Muslims about Islam is generally charged with emotions and subjectivity. It is not realistic to expect objective opinions from believers of any religion about their own faith. My vote is to keep it and expand on it. (Previous edit by User:72.21.32.122 -Blackcats 07:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)) - User has four edits, one to this VFD page. --FCYTravis
11. keep (sockpuppet) and expand very topical if islamophobia is in so should be Islamophilia could do with expanding (Previous edit by User:172.188.217.175 -Blackcats 07:00, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)) - User's only edit is to this VFD page. --FCYTravis

13. Keep (sockpuppet)( - The article accurately describes the characteristics of a certain group of people from an objective POV. Deleting it would be the irrational thing to do. Definitely keep it and expand on it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.195.42.126 (talk • contribs) 22:04, 12 Jun 2005
14. Keep I know some people myself that i could describe in the way this article describes islamophiles. But this article is in need of work. It does not yet catch the exact essence of its subject. I accept also rename, if a better name is found Tuohirulla 22:36, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
15. Keep - with overhaul (sockpuppet) The premise that the feeling of Islamophilia must inherently be irrational is incorrect. There are Sinophiles who love China and Chinese culture and Francophiles who love France and French culture. I have never heard these philes described as irrational.
16. Keep → JarlaxleArtemis 01:27, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
17. Keep but overhaul - The article is meant to describe a certain ideology, not to "target" it. Unfortunately, the article is defintely not NPOV in its present form, and was probably written as a reaction to the POV article on islamophobia. However, I don't see how it is "irrational." Semitophilia does not exist, so there is no article on it. This cannot be said about Islamophilia which is a reasonably popular ideology. A small example is here Although it needs to be overhauled, I am surprised that people want it (and islamophobia )to be deleted. There is no dearth of articles on wikipedia which produce less than 10 google results, and I checked on FAQs that low google hits is not a sufficient reason for deletion. The term has a very healthy web search to group search ratio on google, so it doesn't seem to be promoted by any one particular group. I don't think it is not a good idea to delete articles simply because in their present form they are POV. There's a POV tag for that. Also, google "Islamophilie" (French for Islamophilia) and you'll get many more hits, and some pages belong to the 90s, even before September 11, etc, so the term is not very new either. ~~deeptrivia

20. KEEP (sockpuppet) This article brings some balance to the POV given by islamic propaganda and twisting history represented on this site. But the article needs to be expanded upon and referenced. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 193.129.122.1 (talk • contribs) 15:07, 13 Jun 2005
21. KEEP (sockpuppet) The phenomenon is not only real, it is a prevalent rhetorical paradigm among a number of influential commentators such as Karen Armstrong and Carly Fiorina. The article should be kept and is deserving of expansion. THHuxley 16:30, 2005 Jun 13
    • Important note: There is no User:THHuxley. The above comment was really posted by User:198.89.160.22.
22. KEEP (sockpuppet) Islamophobic is a much used (and even feared) accusation. Self censorship is an increasingly real problem. The article is not the most erudite and does need tidying up, but it adds to the debate, simply by being there. Nassar — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.148.56.106 (talk • contribs) 17:06, 14 Jun 2005
23. KEEP (sockpuppet) Current form is OK, but expansion would only help. This a good term to explain the irrationality that goes along with the territory of making such claims as stated in the article. user:Fresca Scongili Butifara June 16, 2005
    • Does not appear to be a real user --Irishpunktom\^talk
24. KEEP (sockpuppet) This would be an introduction to islamophilia and should be expanded to be meaningful. For example, attributing the success of Spain to the occupation and colonialism of the Moors and Arabs who invaded is something to be explored. Attributing scientific achievements made by Assyrians, Persians, Copts and others to Islam should be expanded upon. Jsaid2009
    • Users first and Second edit[11] --Irishpunktom\^talk
25. Keep (sockpuppet) Otherwise delete Islamophobia, which is logically equally POV. Deleting this article would itself be an act of POV! Dragonlance 14:25, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

10. Delete - sockpuppet limit exceeded (apologies to RickK) --FCYTravis 08:39, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
11. Delete - The differences between the word "Islamophobia" and "Islamophilia": "Islamophobia" is actually used (Google search for Islamophilia: 215 results; for Islamophobia: 119,000 — obviously the latter is the real word); the article about it does not overflow with bias. As for the argument that an article about "Islamophilia" makes it "fair" to have an article about Islamophobia: I see no "Semitophilia" articles! No "homophilia" articles (simply redirection to the homosexuality page). An encyclopedia cannot contain this bias. No "Islamophilia" nonsense, please. What you define as being "Islamophilic" is simply following Islam. And to call Islam, or any religion, "irrational" is biased and stepping out of the role of an encyclopedia. Emiellaiendiay 10:36 a.m., 12 June 2005
12. Delete (sockpuppet) - This article is completely irrational and serves no useful purpose. It is inherently biased because it targets a specific ideology. As already said, there are no articles on "Semitophilia", "homophilia", etc. This article tries to pathologize the followers of Islam and non-Muslims who are tolerant of Islam and Muslims. Moreover, this article is unscholarly. It should be deleted.

      • When a search for those two in English on google I get 40 and 926... and for islamophilie in English most were in French... gren 21:46, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I got over 200 in English for Islamophilia. This is more of a European word, so you get many more in French, Dutch, etc. For proving that the concept does exist, it suffices to show its use in any language. So, just because the results are in French/Dutch doesn't mean an article on it should not be in English Wikipedia. I don't know other European languages so haven't searched in other languages. User:deeptrivia
22. Delete - This is a neologism with no clear definition. Definitely would involve original research. Islamophile is a legitimate dict. def. about someone who tries to learn about Islam but to say Islamophilia is the attribution of positive qualities to Islam, Muslims or the Islamic civilization, beyond what can be rationally attributed is incredibly subjective and does not have to do with the suffix -phile. gren 03:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Explain why this is subjective. "Islamophobia" and "Prejudice" have a similar definition and both have a Wikipedia entry too. Be consequent. --Germen 22:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Islamophobia is fear of Islam, that can be of any kind of Islam. Islamophilia takes a specific definition of Islam and compares someone's views on Islam to that. Therefore there is a necessary definition of what Islam "truly is" and then you are complaiming that someone's view and interpretation of Islam is illegitimate. That is the subjectivity I speak of. gren 03:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Gren, 'Islamophobia' is partisan as well. Fear and hate are subjective. 'Phobia' generally is reserved to irrational and pathological fear which implies that all fears for islam are pathological, which is, of course, non-NPOV. --Germen 11:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Whether "Islamophobia" has an entry or not is irrevelant in this discussion. Why are you so intent on keeping this, Germen? Emiellaiendiay 22:11, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Because 'islamophilia' describes a real phenomenon which is worthy of study. Of course attempts to make the article more NPOV are welcomed. --Germen 11:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Votes: Conditional[edit]

2. Overhaul or DELETE (sockpuppet) The article needs to either be modified to state that the term is used primarily by hindu fundamentalists and conspiracy theorists or deleted altogether. As is the article doesn't even make any sense. I have no understanding of what the point is supposed to be. Also needs references. And why is it listed under "phobias"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ben.waterhouse (talk • contribs) 17:30, 2005 Jun 13 (UTC), user's first edit.
3. Merge with Islamophobia, as per Grutness. — Dan Johnson ^T_C 19:43, 2005 Jun 17 (UTC)

Comments[edit]

1. Point of order - I was of the understanding, indeed I was told as much, that only registered users votes' count. When I voted as an anon, way back when, I was told to reg-up and vote again, because my vote would not count. Was I mis-informed, do Un-regged vites by anon users count, or are there a fair amount of votes here not to be counted? --Irishpunktom\^talk
   • You are correct: the anonymous votes, as well as sockpupper votes, above will (hopefully) be ignored when tallying votes. Axon 17:02, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
   • He's wrong, and right. Anonymous editors can vote but if there is doubt about a vote by an anon it may be ignored. This is to allow regular people who only ever use fixed ip to participate in VfD and other surveys. Admins close these discussions manually and we're pretty good at spotting jiggery pokery. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 17:45, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)
2. Jsaid2009 This request for a deletion is based on several logical fallacies. The first is called Argumentum ad Numerum - because more people share the opinion, it somehow must be right. Because Islamophobia garners more google hits than Islamophillia, it must be true. Before Copernicus, the earth was flat because more people believed it. The second argument is equally invalid. I see no Naziphobia or Naziphillia, therefore everyone has no interest in the idealogical system of Nazism?

Keenan houser[edit]

When I first came upon this page, I assumed it referred to a real person and just needed some work. I did some small stuff, tacked on a npov tag, and watched it. Came back to find it in its present incarnation, so I took a bit more interest in it and went to Google. Google has nothing, really. I understand its not a definitive source, but unless someone can come up with something to put here, it isn't really encyclopedic. I leave the decision up to those wiser than I.

Although the majority of television shows maybe notable, I dont consider this to be a show, nor notable. It plays music requests, and can barely fill more than one sentence in description.

Jiri Cerovsky[edit]

I suggest deleting the whole article. The contents could be moved to cs:Wiki then. The article generally seems to be of the vanity type. The sport successes listed seem to have even factual errors. Person covered here is just a Czech regional politician. Mentioning him among the short list of other [Czech_politicians] on English Wiki doesn't fairly address his importance. Only politicians who have had either a non disputed role in the history of the country or who's international relevance is obvious should be covered here. Oneliner 08:30, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Strong keep. Mayor of a town of 45,000 people in the Czech Republic just as worthy as Mayors of towns of 45,000 people in Maine. Gently urge Oneliner to read WP policy on notability. David | Talk 10:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I've first spotted this article a long time ago and from the editing history it was almost certain that created by the person itself as a vanity page. Maybe this knowledge made me biased since. Listing this particular person among the very sparse list of Czech politicians creates an unrealistic idea of his importance within the political scene. But let's look at the facts: there are 77 such towns within the country. Or from the other side, he is also a member of the regional council, that makes him one of approx. 700 peers and yet he is the only one noted on wiki. Add to it some 300 higher (Parliament, Government) level politicians, say exchanged fully every 12 years, that makes 3500+ of people just in the Czech Republic. Of all of these, there are 12 Czechs in the politicians category here on english Wiki. None of them being "just" a mayor or regional council member. See my point? The notability should be judged within the playground we're all playing at. Oneliner 11:57, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, if it belongs in the cs wiki it belongs here too. Kappa 12:25, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Oneliner, all your arguments seem to me to suggest that we should expand our coverage of Czech politicians, a sentiment I heartily endorse. Just because our coverage isn't complete yet doesn't mean we shouldn't have this article. Meelar (talk) 15:38, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

Important Czech politicians like prime ministers are getting covered, although slowly. Members of EU parliament were all covered (quite easy since they must have Web page with detailed biography). Coverage of local Czech politicians should start on Czech Wiki, we here have not enough of means to do it, unfortunately. Pavel Vozenilek 17:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Certainly! A much wider coverage of Czech politicians would make the general reader's view of the Czech political sceme biased and sort out naturally most of the reasons I oppose this article for. But unfortunately the number of articles didn't get higher in last two months and there isn't much hope that it soon will. Mainly for the reasons Pavel Vozenilek has stated below. Oneliner 22:43, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep per David, Kappa, Meelar. -- BD2412 ^talk 17:50, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)

• Delete. Problems with verifiability.

The page was originally created by person who created Jablonec nad Nisou city article and added city template for US town. This template has line for mayor so short article was added. While mayor of quite big city is notable person reality of current English Wikipedia says such articles are not maintainablen now because:

• there are about dozen or few dozens of Czechs on English Wikipedia and they have usually better topics to work on than local Czech politicians (only Jiri Cerovsky and Pavel Bem, current mayor of Prague has been created, the second one being quite important political figure).
• local Czech politicians are not yet covered on Czech Wikipedia, for exactly the same reason
• these politicians do not have Web pages and finding any relevant information is every hard, lest you live in the place and carefully read local newspapers (w/o web archives). I had problem to find online biography on Cerovsky even when he's long term mayor. The only one available was one paragraph from his election materials, not something one would put high hope of validity and neutral point of view.

While in ideal world such politicians should get covered current state won't allow to maintain such articles in reasonable quality. Because of this I would prefere to delete this article and wait until coverage for local politicians gets established on Czech Wikipedia. Then this information can be translated here with higher assurance of its validity. Pavel Vozenilek 17:58, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Speed of monochromatic light[edit]

Not sure if this is original research, an attempt at communication, or something else entirely; but it's not an encyclopedia article. Delete Rlandmann 11:28, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Hopelessly misguided. A hint for the author: speed of light in vacuum is always constant, and doesn't depend on its frequency (or on the relative speed of the source and the observer; see theory of relativity). Delete. - Mike Rosoft
  • Response: I know. But I want to know how the constant speed of light squares with the Doppler effect between monochromatic light and white light. The Doppler effect shows a change of frequency which seems to imply a lower speed of approach. Arthur Hinks.
    • No, change of frequency does not imply a change in speed of light. (Once again, speed of light in vacuum is always constant.) It implies a change of its wave length. The following equation holds for the wave length of light (and any other wave):
      
      Where λ is the wave length, c is the speed of the wave's propagation, and f is frequency. - Mike Rosoft 17:02, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks Mike but back again! If a fixed frequency approaches me with the speed of light and I am receding at half the speed of light its frequency will appear to be reduced. This makes me think that I must be receiving it more slowly and I am stuck on this point. It looks like simple logic and the fallacy is eluding me. Arthur Hinks.

I DIDN'T MEAN SLOWED DOWN. Sorry I misled you! Please, please comment on this new summary;- IN A NUTSHELL: A red shifted hydrogen marker strikes us at a lower frequency, telling us that WE must be receding from it’s source (Hubble). The implication of that is that the light (COMING IN AT SPEED C) is hitting us more slowly! Arthur Hinks.

• Delete in agreement with Mike R. I already knew some physics.

• Delete as (un)original (non)research. Mike is right: Einstein's theory shows that light does not ever, in a vacuum, change speed. This applies whether you are in motion or not - whether towards or away from the beam of light. The speed of light, is so denoted because it is The Universal Constant.

• I am sorry. I have been unable to finish my article, as I have been working on it at school. I will have the time to properly format it by Sunday, June 12, 2005. I was hoping that such an article would help the people who were struggling to do such math problems in my, and in other schools. Thank you. Sorry for the problems that this may have caused. - Lightning3006 19:12, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment; regardless of your good intentions, I think the issue is that the article is one which is nonencyclopaedic - it belongs in a math text. It looks great, and informative, it's just that wikipedia might not be the place for such an entry. jglc | t | c 19:44, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • help the people who were struggling to do such math problems in my, and in other schools — You want to write instructional textbooks to lead people step-by-step through exercises in mathematics? Get yourself over to the Wikibooks Mathematics bookshelf and Wikiversity, pronto! You're exactly the sort of contributor that they want. What you are writing is not an encyclopaedia article, however. Uncle G 16:39, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)
• Transwiki to Wikibooks. I'm sure they'd love to have it there. (Leave a note so the author can find it). Mgm|^(talk) 20:58, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Thank you for your advice. I think that it might fit in WikiBooks, as it a major part of Number Theory. However, I think that wikipedia would be a good place for it as there are multiple other pages on Number Theory and such. Wikipedia is somewhat lacking the mathemaitcal department, and should thus be a good addition to the (hopefully soon) all inclusive nature of WikipediaLightning3006
  • Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia, not a Big Book of Everything. For many things, one looks elsewhere than in an encyclopaedia. We have sibling projects covering some of those areas. Uncle G 16:39, 2005 Jun 10 (UTC)

  • I left an introductory message on the user's talk page. I'm also working on cleaning up the HTML that was in the entry (it looks like it was copied straight from a personal site), and took the signature off the entry. The latter was just for my own fulfillment; whenever you're all ready, transwiki and delete from Wikipedia. jglc | t | c 19:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I believe an encyclopedic article could be written on this topic, as for "how-to" argument, well, every algorithm could be considered a how-to, yet we have pages on different algorithms (sorting, prime tests and other mathematical problems). I can't see why the algorithm on converting base of a number shold be given a different treatment.  Grue  20:09, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Qualifies as encyclopedic: number base calculation is both a notable and important activity in mathematics and computing. We have other articles describing strategy for reaching mathematical results, including statistics. Visitors reading about binary or base10 would benefit from seeing how these are calculated as part of understanding the concepts being described. Since Wikipedia is not paper, I think it makes sense to include it here. Tobycat 05:56, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a great article. However, with the whole issue on "encyclopedic material," i'll just tell the authour (lihtning3006) to edit it a bit and add some backround info etc. smarterkid --Smarterkid 17:20, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• I would like to say thank you to jglc for cleaning up the HTML. I did copy it from an MS-Word made HTML page. I will add information on the background of the more important bases, namely Base-2, and Base-16, as they are the most used, in today's world, and after that, if it is still too un-encyclopedic, I will move it. --Lightning3006 17:36, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • No problem. You seem to really want to contribute to making Wikipedia better, which is more than I can say for a lot of users. Keep up the good work, and thanks for being reasonable, whatever the outcome is. jglc | t | c 16:26, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

La Réunion (Lot-et-Garonne)[edit]

Intriguing one, this one... the text reads La reunion is a small island on the outskirts of Africa in the indian ocean which, once you get over the sloppy writing, is correct. But that's Réunion, not La Réunion in the inland Aquitaine département of Lot-et-Garonne! If such a place exists, it may be worth someone writing such an article (it may do - Google can't help, since "La réunion" means "the meeting", which crops up on about 10% of French-language pages). The current content, though, is worthless, and unrelated to the title it's under. So this should probably be deleted. Grutness...wha? 13:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Complete List of all Kings and Queens of Narnia[edit]

This article is not factual, it is an invention by a fan and is an effort by this person to fill in gaps in an official author's timeline. There is already a proper timeline of the King and Queens of Narnia that is based on sources written by C.S Lewis. I consider this article to be mere conjecture and original research, which is not part of Wikipedia's policy.

• Comment: Wikipedia has pages for Anno Domini and Common Era, with appropriate redirection at BC, AD, BCE, and CE. Also, the notation YBP appears in some Wikipedia articles, for example Population bottleneck, Laysan, and Bering land bridge. I suggest that if we allow its usage in our articles, we should have an article on it just like we do for related abbreviations. At the least, it should redirect to Common Era, which should then mention the term. Conversely, if we don't have an article on it, we shouldn't use it in other articles. So far, Wikipedia:Manual of Style doesn't take a position on this issue, that I can see. —Triskaideka 14:28, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • First, it's not a "new article"- it's 25 months old. Second, it's not "unnecessary" by any known wikipedia standards. And third, the article is not attempting to pathologize healthy eating, it is simply reporting a phenomena that is both recognized in popular culture, and a legitamate object of scientific study. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 01:46, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• "The average vegan weighs 23 lbs. less than a non-vegetarian and 12 lbs. less than a dairy vegetarian according to the isocaloric research studies of Dr. Mervyn Hardinge." Yeah, and with as fat as Americans are these days, I think that's a good thing. I'd say merge anything salvagable into "criticisms" sections of Healthful eating, and/or Vegan, and/or Vegetarianism. If it does end up being kept it's going to need a major NPOV overhaul. Blackcats 18:34, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I'm an optimist and believe that posterity will be smart enough to know which sport they're interested in, and I'm a pessimist who believes that no one will go to 6-2 (volleyball formation) when they want to know about the 6-2 formation, that they'll just go to Volleyball, so the redirect would be misleading, and the merge is unnecessary.

1900 in television[edit]

This page only lists one event. It is very unlikely that more events are going to be added. Also, see the List of years in television—years 1907, 1908, and 1923, which are also not rich with events, are listed there without a corresponding article. I do not see why 1900 should be different.Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 19:17, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. I changed my vote. Consolidate per BD2412's compromise proposal below amended as per my comment (i.e., use 1925 as the cut date).—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 19:28, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - Objective and verifiable. It may be seen as trivial, but WINP. Blackcats 19:42, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  My main objection is that it breaks the flow of the years in television. All these articles are interlinked (e.g., 1988 would point to 1987 and 1989). 1900 cannot be interlinked this way. While Wikipedia is indeed not paper, I still don't see why 1900 should be kept, especially when 1907, 1908, and 1923 (not to mention all the years in between) are non-existent. I will have no objections to (re-)creating these articles when they have more content than current one-liners (remember, the information in the article will not be lost, but merely moved to the main list of years). I understand this reasoning of mine may still not be good enough for some voters to vote in favor of deletion, but I feel that I should let it be known. Thanks.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:29, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

• Compromise proposal - how about making Before 1910 in television, and sticking everything pre-1910 in it. There's not much on the technology side, but should be plenty of births. -- BD2412 ^talk 20:38, 2005 Jun 9 (UTC)

  I like it, but I would rather like see the Before 1925 in television article, as there is not really much information (besides, obviously, births) to be added.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 20:41, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

I thought about that, but my concern is that there would be too many births, as just about anyone who was significant on TV up to, say, the early 1960s was probably born before 1925. -- BD2412 ^talk 23:01, 2005 Jun 11 (UTC)

Right now there are no births listed at all. When the list grows to the point of being unmanageable (if it ever does), we will deal with that problem separately.—Ëzhiki (erinaceus amurensis) 21:01, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

Bob And George[edit]

Delete. This is non-notable and probably self-promotion.WAvegetarian 19:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• It's notable to me; it was one of the first webcomics that I started reading (though I no longer do). I don't think it's self-promotion (the author of the webcomic doesn't have to stoop that low), but it may be non-notable. For me, it's a weak keep. jglc | t | c 19:41, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - fairly notable - over 11,000 Google hits [18]. Blackcats 19:47, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC) (Switch to redirect now that other article has been found) Blackcats 08:00, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    • The Google search I did was for "Bob and George" (in quotes like that) along with the word "comics." I'm pretty sure the vast majority of those hits were about this comic strip, and that a lot of people talk about the comic strip without mentioning the last name of the artists. 5,000 is actually impressive for last name too, since that means there are five thousand more in depth discussions about it online. Blackcats 21:56, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. In addition, certain resources tout this as "the first sprite-based webcomic ever," which, imho, is a notable position in webcomic history. jglc | t | c 20:14, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I've heard of it, and it's actually pretty funny, but the Alexa rank of 64,745 doesn't speak volumes about its notability. Somebody's probably going to say that that's "pretty good for a web comic" or something along those lines, but I don't see why we need different standards for webcomics vs. websites in general. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:10, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: If the assertion that B&G is really "the first sprite webcomic ever," I would think that might be grounds for notability. Would you accept making an exception to the Alexa-ranking criteria for a less-well-known, but genre-creating or -altering entry? jglc | t | c 06:52, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete non notable. JamesBurns 06:12, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - Andrew mentioned that he's heard of it, but I don't know if he's really into comics or not. I'm not a comic aficionado at all, but I'd heard of it. For me that's a rule of thumb when judging notability - if the word's gotten around enough that someone like me, who's not into the overall genre has heard of it, then it must be notable. Of course the converse of that wouldn't neccesarily be true. But yeah - since I've heard of it, and I'm not a comics or web comics fan (and don't have any kind of personal connection with the authors and they don't live in my area) then it's notable. Blackcats 19:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep: a long-time staple of the webcomics genre (6 years with very few breaks), possibly the first sprite comic ever created, and for some time was actually funny; definitely notable. However, article does not establish notability and definitely needs expansion. --Oh! Redirect Bob and George. No wonder this article sucks--we've already got a much better one!

Rich uncle theory[edit]

Prank and/or unverifiable neologism. 5 hits for "Rich uncle theory", most of which are from kiro5hin.org, most uses of which are only accessible thru the google cache. Also, the text is mostly word for word, so either the WP article is a copyvio, or the Kiroshin version is a mirror, making it useless as a verification of the term.

For those who haven't had their coffee yet, I'm the one who wrote the article. If you do a google search for "rich uncle" there are 40,600 hits, and there is even a site MyRichUncle.com. The name of the article is a neologism, I'll admit, but there really is a belief that in America everyone has a rich uncle. Rich Uncle Sam, Uncle Scrooge McDuck, Rich Uncle Pennybags, etc. On the Simpsons Monty Burns got his money from a rich uncle IIRC. Also, I'm the one who wrote the K5 post, so not it isn't a copyvio.

• keep. The West Mersea Yacht Club is a notable UK yacht racing club having sponsored international yacht racing meetings. It is a properly constituted yacht club, founded in 1899 with a formal yacht club structure and a warrant from the UK Ministry of Defence for its members to fly an approved defaced ensign. It merits a mention in respected yacht racing handbooks. Its burgee is internationally recognised. The category 'Yacht Clubs' would look very odd if only certain clubs were allowed; I note that the New York Yacht Club and the Golden Gate Yacht Club and others are allowed a page. The fact that its own page is under construction (replacing a previous site) has nothing to do with it. --194.80.134.139 21:26, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Super mario RPG[edit]

Supposedly a disambiguation page for the phrase "Super Mario RPG." But there is only one game by that name, and it's documented at Super Mario RPG. The other links on the disambiguation page dereference the sequels of this game, which are in fact not titled "Super Mario RPG," and are appropriately mentioned in the main article, Super Mario RPG. Caesura^(t) 22:52, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Super Mario RPG. When Paper Mario was first announced, it was claimed to be the sequel (I don't think it is considered to be "official" sequel even the Wikipedia "Super Mario RPG" stated, "No official sequel to Super Mario RPG was ever released...") of the original Super Mario RPG. However, it just doesn't make sense that the lowercase "mario" article is a disamb while the capitalized "Mario" article directs to the original game. --Chill Pill Bill 00:13, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
