Nikki Hemming

• CEO of minor Sydney-based company. Very likely vanity (she's single & drives a Porsche Boxer) & definitely non-notable.
  speak up! 03:06, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Delete as of article's current status. From quick google search, it appears she may have been involved in the legal proceedings of Kazaa but as the article stands now, it is obvious vanity. I see no indication that the article will be improved, though if it is improved, i may change my mind. -- Bubbachuck 03:12, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep after reviewing Capitalistroadster's latest, which established clear indication of notability as well citing his sources. Very good job! though i find it funny that what started as vanity has turned into a legitimate article. i wonder what the person who started it is thinking... -- Bubbachuck 05:10, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Merge with Kazaa and re-write: after a repeat reading, I have to say most of the information pertains directly to
      Sharman Networks and/or Kazaa. Though I still believe Hemming is notable enough for her own article, it should be focused on what she is apparently most famous for: the decentralized corporate structure she put forth and the raid on her house by police. Unfortunately I will be very busy this week so I won't have the time to help until after the 20th. -- Bubbachuck 20:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Redirect and Merge with Kazaa. --Apyule 05:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep. This was borderline before, but with the new edits it is well worth keeping. --Apyule 05:42, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete vanity.Merge - move all relevant information to
  Sharman Networks and/or Kazaa...Alex.tan
  06:51, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep CEO of Sharman Network responsible for Kazaa means that she is a notable businessperson. Capitalistroadster 16:49, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: it is true that Kazaa is notable, but that does not mean she necessarily is. If she was somehow involved in key policy changes, legal controversy, or anything that made her STAND OUT as a CEO, then I would reconsider and I think most others would too. -- Bubbachuck 17:55, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, it's already mentioned that she's a CEO on
  Several Times 17:52, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

  • Merge with
    Several Times 14:16, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Merge anything interesting to
  Sharman Networks. Not notable in her own right, or related to Kazaa other than as CEO of Sharman. --Scott Davis ^Talk 02:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
  ]
  • Good expansion, but the interesting part of the expanded article is still about
    Sharman Networks. This article is now a better article about the company than that article. --Scott Davis ^Talk 06:46, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
    ]
• Delete the
  Sharman Networks article has plenty already and she's not notable apart from them. -Splash 02:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
  ]
  • Merge to
    Sharman Networks, it's a good rewrite but it's about the company not the person. -Splash 15:12, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
    ]

• Keep if expanded; otherwise Merge with either
  Sharman Networks or Kazaa
  .
• I have expanded the article. Hemming is the CEO of Sharman Networks and has been intimately involved in the legal actions against the company including a raid on her house. She meets
  WP:BIO as a person who has had a significant effect on the music and peer-to-peer industries. No change of vote from keep.Capitalistroadster 04:52, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
  ]
• Keep. Most of material should be merged with
  Sharman Networks and the rest should be left as a stub on Hemming. --C S
  09:59, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Article has improved much since listing, the content is worth keeping on Wikipedia but most is appriopriate for either
  Sharman Networks, more on the individual is needed. Richard Taylor 00:20, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Delete the bluk of the article is not a biography, and I don't think she actaully meets the biography criteria.--

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but nothing of this. Author seems to have a past history of creating pages on non-existant things. DomRem | Yeah?

Blackened Death Metal

Another imaginary music genre. As usual, none of the bands listed here are described using this term on their own pages, and nothing links here. —Wahoofive (talk) 05:21, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, along with every other ridiculous metal genre which is completely identical to about ten other metal genres. Considering that black metal and death metal have very little differences as it is, this genre is pretty much redundent. Cyclone49 09:37, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete -- sounds like a joke actually. Haikupoet 03:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep -- The responses (and post) above prove that those wanting this article deleted know absolutely nothing about death metal or heavy metal in general. ("Ridiculous metal genre"? "black metal and death metal have very little differences"? Perhaps you guys should read the articles vs. basing this on POV.)Danteferno 07:59, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I did read the relevant articles. From Death metal: Death metal has, like most subgenres of heavy metal, proven notoriously difficult to define. Some fans and musicians have a firm concept of the genre, its categories and subcategories. From Black metal: Some black metal fans, musicians and critics use a strict definition of the genre, though others view this as limiting and view black metal more as an artistic movement than a sub-category of popular music. Seems to me that, if there's no clear idea of what either death or black metal are, there can't possibly be any sort of meaningful definition for the combination of the two. Also, none of the wikilinked band articles indicate that any of the bands classify themselves as "blackened death metal" bands. android79 17:09, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

If you read further into the

nu-metal on their websites? After all, Nu-metal is a Wikipedia article (and an unofficial genre) so what is the problem? Danteferno

18:10, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

Who said anything about websites? I'm talking about the individual articles for the several bands that are listed in

The same could be said for bands listed as "nu-metal" on the "List of Nu-metal artist page", eventhough nu-metal isn't mentioned on their biographical Wikipedia page. Where's the VFD/complaints there? Danteferno 00:23, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

What I meant above is that the bands aren't described using this term on their Wikipedia pages, not their websites. This term would have more credibility if it didn't seem to contradict the evidence on other WP pages. —Wahoofive (talk) 04:04, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

And I have clarified the term on some of those band pages. Whatever reasons, there is no good reason the article should be deleted. Google "blackened death metal", do a bit of research. You will be surprised by the results. Danteferno 05:10, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy delete for the love of god - I can not believe how many people worked on this article to "tidy it up" and "revert vandalism" and fix style and form problems. It's a completely dead-in-the-water vanity page about a complete nobody that openly flaunts its own non-notability. Who are these people who are working diligently to clean up pages like this??

Several people gave it a good faith effort to try to keep it more encyclopedic... it's rather uncivil of you to insult us that way. And, what, pray tell, possible justification do you have for a claim that a speedy deletion would be justifiable? (By the way, please sign your comments with four ~ symbols in a row.

-Scott P. 12:31, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

If a figure of speech used for emphasis confuses you just skip over it. It has nothing to do with the overall meaning of the statement. Focusing on it serves no purpose. DreamGuy 13:03, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

I guess I must have tripped instead of skipping over that one.

• Please do delete it! Perhaps the ultimate proof that this is not a "vanity" page on my part is that I do indeed hope you all delete this page. This has been a nightmare of the surreal kind. The fact is that there are many pages on Wikipedia about people that are not famous, and being famous has never been the qualification for being on this page. (Talk about not knowing about what makes an entry encyclopedic. Since when has being famous qualified one as being worthy to be in an encyclopedia? Have most people heard of
  Rudolf Laban and Kurt Jooss
  ? But please, God, DO delete this page. What a nightmare this has all become. And -- for the record -- the only reason I really got angry and it became a "edit war" is because I resented the comments that this page was a "malicious hack job" by me, that I didn't know the facts of my own father's life, and that I got his ethnicity wrong. Bizarre! Again, yes, PLEASE delete it!

It's futile with you, and most of Wikipedia, I'm afraid. Have fun with your silly little website, and keep telling yourself it's a real encyclopedia. Newflash: real encyclopedias are not on the Internet, and they do not allow anyone to edit them. But I leave you to your pretensions and projections.

  is. I just did a Google search on 'Tegal Corporation' and came up with over 5,000 hits. Clearly Tegal Corp is worthy of an article, and if Tegal is worthy of an article, then the info re: the Tegal CEO for the last 10 years is also very pertinent to that company. I say, nearly all bio info on Parodi could be merged verbatim from the Parodi article into the Tegal Corp article, and then the Michael Parodi article could be redirected to Tegal.

Swiss-Italian cheese

• This article is 100% BS. Swiss-Italian cheese simply does not exist. It does not have hallucinogenic properties, nor is it an aphrodisiac, nor do people eat it, because it is non-existent. The sources are not backed up in any manner, the "Political fallout" section is a bad attempt at satirical humor. This needs to be Deleted. --Klestrob44 05:39, 9 August 2005 (UTC).[reply]
  • Quote from Article:

Political Fallout The liberal American media has downplayed the role of Swiss-Italian cheese in George W. Bush's War on Terror, claiming that its properties have not affected the morale of the soldiers to whom it is being provided in the popular Papal Cheesesteak meals-ready-to-eat (MREs).

Democratic senators voted for the Papal Cheesesteak MREs in recent legislation, citing the fact that the cheese contains immense amounts of protein and low sodium, but blatantly ignoring its narcotic properties and high flammability.

Conservatives have consistently devised linguistic tricks to turn the populace against Swiss-Italian cheese--primarily through Rush Limbaugh's constant jabbering induced by large amounts of the Swiss-Italian cheese itself. Liberals point out the contradiction, but Limbaugh insists he doesn't eat the cheese while on the air. It is a fundamental right, he says, to be able to consume the cheese in the home--unless, of course, you are unemployed, a minority, homosexual, a Democrat, ugly, poor, Alan Colmes, or any combination thereof.

Religious Use Swiss mountain men have used the cheese in religious ceremonies for centuries. It is served on a fine, hand-tooled platter of gold harvested from Lombard caves and mines. No women are allowed to touch the sacred platter at any time, and children are told an old Swiss mountain folk tale about being turned into rats by touching the Holy Platter. According to recently uncovered Persian scrolls, Jesus ate from the Swiss-Italian Holy Platter during his secret pilgrimage with Mary Magdalene to the Swiss Alps in 28 A.D.

• The Possibility of This Article Being Deleted is Ridiculous. This article is absolutely TRUE. I have been a lifelong member of the Cheese Guild of Europe and I can attest to its complete authenticity. Your reference sources are far too thin to encompass the very broad classes and distinct types of cheese, and based on this fact alone you should not dismiss the article as hogwash; doing so is an insult to Wikipedia's accuracy and abhorrent as supposed authorities on the subject of cheese. By the way, there is no such word as "speddy."

I have expanded the article. Tregaro coaches a current Olympic triple jump champion in Christian Olsson and a current World Champion high jumper in Kajsa Bergqvist which makes him notable as an athletics coach. Capitalistroadster 17:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or Merge. This is useful information for anyone searching for information on GameFAQs' board system and in its present state is to big to be merged with the main GameFAQs article. If GameFAQs is allowed an entry, then its boards (as a major feature) need to be explained as well. I think (ignoring some vandalism...) this entry does a decent job of introducing the boards and gives a nonuser of the system a decent understanding of what it is like. However, much of the information could be stripped out if necissary to maintain an elitist standard for the encyclopedia... with the rest merged with the main GameFAQs article (which should then be marked for a significant cleanup to better integrate all the data.) Simply deleting it outright would be a disservice. - Mr1bh 04:36, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Merge with GameFAQs. The site is notable; the forums are not. The details to the forums should already be self-contained within their own community. --Madchester 05:59, August 16, 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep' - If Something Awful boards have their own separate page, then GameFAQs should as well.
• "The details to the forums should already be self-contained within their own community" Which does nothing for people outside the community such as the typical users of Wikipedia. True, these forums are not notable enough to deserve a page in their own right. However, Wikipedia makes provision for secondary pages to be made for content that does not fit within the main article. As it is right now, the GameFAQs forum entry is to large to merge with the GameFAQs article, and the GameFAQs article itself is not written well enough to cleanly facilitate a merge. Something needs to be mentioned about the forums as they are a major part of GameFAQs. Tt seems there are two issues at hand 1) The existance of a second article for the forums and 2) what should be mentioned about them. I suggest first editing the current page to the Wikipedia community's standards, and then considering whether or not the data will easily merge with the main article.Mr1bh 22:24, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Paleoweltschmerz

An unverifiable, non-notable [16] tinfoilhat theory, that no-one apparently believes. Delete, unless we're going to create articles fo this lot too [17] --

• Delete. Maybe Speedy, because this is pretty close to patent nonsense. This isn't even pseudoscience. It's just someone's idea of a joke. ManoaChild 12:55, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, or at very minimum rewrite to warn the user this is a nonscientific theory --Raistlin 13:04, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

That's funny because http://palaeo.gly.bris.ac.uk/Essays/Dino90.html records 'paleoweltschmerz' as a theory concerning a mental disorder, put forwards to explain the extinction of the dinosaurs. You can find it by searching on the word 'paleoweltschmerz'. You may also like to note that the page says the theory was put forward (although it does not say by whom) as a deliberate joke, which is (as far as I'm concerned) the only unverifiable part of it. Presumably, the Earth Sciences department of Bristol University did not invent it.

As for 'tinfoil hat theories that no-one apparently believes', I don't think that is a reasonable comment, let alone a legitimate reason for deletion. If it is a legit reason for deletion, Wikipedia could be getting a lot thinner.

Unusual/exotic theory; historical footnote; proposed solution to natural history phenomenon; if the theory was intended as a joke by its inventor (which I have been unable to ascertain) certainly of minor historical note (cf 'jackalope').

Also: my Spanish is poor, but this page [18] seems to relate that the 'theory' of paleoweltschmerz was created by

Schopenhauer

• Keep for now, I'm willing to wait and see if this article develops into something. Maybe merge it into an article on unusual theories about the extinction of dinosaurs (but come up with a better title for it!). If nothing has improved in a month or so then by all means renominate it. Thryduulf 13:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

While I'm about it, I'd like it noted that the first time I submitted this article, it was summarily deleted without notification. Are Wikipedians always so openminded and friendly? 81.5.185.18 14:34, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actualy it wasn't deleted, you submitted an article called Paleoweltschemerz (note the extra 'e') and this still exists, although I've now redirected it to the correct title. Thryduulf 15:16, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep and expand as possible. But monitor as per Thryduulf. JDoorjam 16:31, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment. This theory gets only 8 hits on Google, which seems to me to be extremely non-notable. The first hit is actually an essay on humorous reasons for the extinction of the dinosaurs. These two facts combined made me suspect that the article was created as a hoax. If it was seriously intended, I apologize. Regardless, my opinion on whether the article is worth keeping still stands. Notability not established, though speedy deletion is probably not warranted.

• Keep it! The thing that makes Wikipedia better than any other encyclopædia is that it contains entries that may be only interesting to a smaller population. The entry is factual and non-slanderous. By voting for removal of entries like this you are removing the whole essence of Wikipedia. Every 5-a side football team should have their own Wikipedia page, thus helping to complete vast information database that we are working for. Vanity? I would have to disagree. The entries that we should be deleting are the ones that are clearly fictitious, not the ones that are just less interesting to the general populace. -Martin Butt 19:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC) — (MartinButt's 1st edit.)[reply]

    • So what? Like MartinButt said, the essence of Wikipedia is compiling this wonderfully vast source of knowledge and information. So where is the sense in rejecting a particular genre of entry just because it has a large number of constituents? Surely opening Wikipedia up to the world of amateur football (as an example) can only be of benefit to the knowledge-seeking populace? Or put another way, what harm/detriment can come from accepting such entries? None. It is simply another step towards making Wikipedia the greatest source of information this world has ever experienced. 7killer7 00:25, 22 August 2005

Stub about a Norwegian surname. Should probably be speediable, but it seems it isn't.

• Keep. It's more widespread than the article made it out to be. It's known (and played) in at least one other summer math program and several high schools, and has been around for several years. This article would not have been abandoned - I for one was planning to make additions to the page, which in my opinion would have made it less of a nontopic without substantial information. Sho 22:01, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Color or Country is a game I have known for two years, and I assume that it has been around for several years before that. Its lack of a clear way to force someone to lose makes it as much a joke as an argument about politics. It is sufficiently widespread for me to have met several people who have already heard of it, and it is certainly not just limited to

        • Something just occurred to me. I posted a description of the game as I remember it without having read the article, and it then turned out that I had correctly identified it. So even if you aren't willing to trust me to be honest on principle, it can be demonstrated that I wasn't lying about it being an actual game. Factitious 01:34, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• It looks like somebody already deleted the article out of process. If it described a game in which players take turns naming colors, and lose if they name a country, then it's a real thing, and we should keep it. I learned about the game three years ago, and have played it with several groups of people. In any case, the article should be undeleted immediately, so that we can deal with it properly.

• Unable to tell. This page needs to be undeleted (after being incorrectly speedied) before it can be deleted through normal channels. Telso 02:20, 13 August 2005 (UTC) Keep. With major rewrite (by me, but still), article now contains much more information, presented in a much more organized and coherent manner. Although the notability test may fail on google (even with hits at everything2 and mathcamp), this does not necessarily imply lack of notability, as other users have shown. Telso 08:58, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Everything2 is sort of half-blog, half-wiki. Anyone can create any article with any phrase as a topic, including May I suggest not getting married in West Virginia? and The British get freaked out by American nonchalance regarding capital punishment. So the existence of an Everything2 article on a topic doesn't imply notability in any meaningful way. And of course Mathcamp.org knows about it if they invented it. However, the rest of the world does not seem to have taken any note of this game. -- Curps 09:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • So you've now shown Color or Country fails the notability test on Google. But I admitted that. The point is that just because something doesn't exist on Google doesn't mean it doesn't exist (Google is NOT a deity). A number of Wikipedians from a number of different regions and schools in North America have heard of this game, and this is just the Wikipedians who noticed the article on VfD. With all the ones who missed it and all the non-Wikipedians who've heard of it, I think this easily implies passing the notability test (which isn't policy anyway). In fact, neither is the importance test (which it probably passes as well). The only policies that apply are verifibility, which this passes considering how many people agree this is verifiable, and no original research, which this is not, again because many users agree this isn't isolated. Do I really need to search for less verifiable things on Wikipedia to handwaive my point, just like you did when you searched for inane things on everything2 to handwaive your (and my!) point? I may be a deletionist at heart, but this constant nitpicking is reminding me why I stopped watching VfD. Telso 18:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • I'm curious how you come to this conclusion. There are a bunch of people voting on this page, some of whom never went to mathcamp, who have heard of this game. I learned for this game back when I was in college at MIT six years ago. I didn't know what Mathcamp was and I didn't know anyone who had gone to Mathcamp. So it certaintly isn't a phenomenon restricted to Mathcamp. Do you seriously think we are all high school students enjoying our little joke? You seem to be attacking this with a vehemence usually reserved for pranksters and vandals. Cmouse 15:22, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • No, I don't think you guys are pranksters, and if the page is kept I'll just shrug. But it really bothers me that there seem to be substantially zero webpages about it (and by contrast the equally silly game Mornington Crescent has nearly a thousand Google hits). People create webpages about almost anything at the drop of a hat... I've researched my share of highly obscure topics. It's all the more anomalous because it's a geek/nerd type topic, which are normally heavily over-represented on the Internet (a million pages for the
      Star Wars kid and only a handful on, say, ancient Persian poetry). It's a mystery I'd really like to clear up. -- Curps 19:03, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply
      ]
      • Mornington Crescent is connected to a popular radio show. There are no pages dedicated to Mornington Crescent; all or most of the pages found by searching for Mornington Crescent are pages about the radio show, with Mornington Crescent a subtopic. Color or Country doesn't get on the Internet as much because it doesn't have that connection. Also, most people learn Color or Country by word-of-mouth, and so it tends to spread within groups that have ways to communicate other than web sites. Sho Uemura 23:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I too have met several people who know of this game, none of whom have ties to
  Canada/USA MathCamp, proving that it is not limited to that camp. This page should not be deleted. Myq 05:39, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Delete. Not notable. (I saw the article earlier before it was speedied.) android79 04:52, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It sounds just a little too absurd: a game that neither side can lose except on purpose. Who plays this and why? How about a game where you have to say a word, any word, and as long as you don't say the word "Wikipedia" nobody ever loses. Why on Earth would you play such a game? Is it a test of endurance, just to see who gives up first? Some major detail seems to be missing here. Or is the article just written badly and fails to explain properly? -- Curps 05:41, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The way people lose is generally by getting carried away, for example starting naming continents, whereupon someone says "Australia" and loses. platypeanArchcow 05:53, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • So Europe and Asia and North America are considered to be colors? Do people play this game sober? -- Curps 06:13, 13 August 2005 (UTC
      • Usually, yes. Sleep deprivation works sufficiently well. platypeanArchcow 06:17, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • It gets zero (or one) Google hits. Several users here are saying they've heard of it, yet the most common test for noteworthiness comes up empty. See my comment below for the Google search link. -- Curps 06:36, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • We've verified its existence, yet the most common test for noteworthiness fails us. Hmm, what could that mean? Perhaps we shouldn't be relying solely on a popular search engine? Wow, what a shock! Factitious 05:39, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • I once saw somebody accidentally lose the game by saying "Spain." He was mocked thoroughly. Also, note that saying things that aren't colors or countries is allowed, so saying "Europe" has no effect on the status of the game. Factitious 22:39, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Have you ever argued over politics? Neither side can lose except on purpose. Why on Earth would you do such a thing? Is it a test of endurance, just to see who gives up first? The reason Color or Country is called a game is because it is for fun, not because it is some measure of skill. As a conventional game, Color or Country sounds rather silly: you can say "blue" each turn and not lose. However, one should not judge Color or Country as a game, but judge it is a phenomenon, a pastime, or an odd form of conversation. The fact that Curps asks why people would play this game, and the fact that many people do play it, should make it an interesting enough phenomenon to keep as an article. Yasha 19:10, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. The article as it was submitted to VFD was rather garbagey, but I removed most of the Mathcamp-specific stuff and cleaned up the wording. As long as the article doesn't imply that Mathcamp is the only venue for the game (which I thought it was before this debate surfaced) it is a fine little stub. platypeanArchcow 05:53, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. This is not a joke. I've run into it in three seperate places at this point - one of which was MIT. I've heard of this game years before I had heard of mathcamp. Cmouse 06:25, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: at first, "color or country" seems unGooglable because it brings up a lot of human rights type pages. But if you do a Google search excluding pages with the words "race", "gender", "creed", "skin", you get about 69 hits, NONE of which are about this game! (Well maybe one reference in passing, in a cached version of an online forum: [20]) Even if this is for real, it simply isn't notable. At all. -- Curps 06:28, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Google doesn't appear to return all of the hits for this game. Here's one that Google doesn't find - [21] - and I'm sure there are many more. Thanks for the fish! 16:11, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • One more: [22] Sho Uemura 19:30, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • [23] The first five hits concern the game Colour or Country. Looking through the other results, one can see a few relating to the game. True patent nonsense is saying that there are no Google hits for the game. Yasha 19:39, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • First five? How do you count five? I see only two relevant sites when I click on your Google query link: a couple of pages from mathcamp.org (which use the Canadian spelling "colour", so they were missed by the Google query I posted), plus the cached chiefdelphi.com/forums link I already posted. -- Curps 21:02, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Hmm...the results seem to have changed slightly. Linking to a Google page was a mistake on my part. Sorry. Anyways, the point is that there are several pages relating to the game high up on the list of hits, and I think that still stands. Yasha 18:02, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • The now-defunct MOP Literature Page has documentation of it going back to 1997 (link at archive.org. One reason why it may be hard to google is that, being a folk game, there may not be a universally accepted name. ("Color Country Game" gets four hits in a google search, although all of them are associated with the Mathematical Olympiad Program, which I don't think has yet been mentioned as one of the number of math camps that foster this game. 69.204.162.12 19:44, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. It seems the main argument for deletion is that the game is stupid. It is openly acknowledged that the game is stupid, and this has nothing to do with the worthiness of the article. Wikipedia has an extensive article on Mornington Crescent, which is essentially the inverse of this game. RSpeer 06:29, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • A Google search for "Mornington Crescent" + "I'm sorry I haven't a clue" gets 960 hits. Arguably, no matter how silly the game, there is a noteworthy social phenomenon associated with the "Mornington Crescent" game... at least noteworthy enough that people have bothered to make webpages about it. "Color or country" doesn't have any comparable noteworthiness: it gets zero Google hits. -- Curps 06:33, 13 August 2005 (UTC) / 18:45, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Only because you excluded too many pages. Thanks for the fish! 16:34, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • Very unlikely. The excluded pages were all human rights type pages ("without regard to race, creed, color, or country of origin") which would not mention the game. If you dispute this result, you need to suggest a different Google query and post a link and results for it. -- Curps 18:37, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • Your claim was that it is not notable because of the Google search that you posted. Several examples have already proved that your Google query doesn't find all or most of the results, so the game must be given the benefit of the doubt unless you have other proof that all of us are lying about it. Thanks for the fish! 17:17, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
          • This is true of any Google query (Google doesn't find all the results)... Google doesn't index every single web page in existence. Nevertheless it is a useful test of relative notability (compared to other queries, since all queries will be affected). -- Curps 14:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
            • My point is that you don't weed out "race", "creed", etc. from other queries, making your Google query worthless. Thanks for the fish! 16:55, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • that's a good point. If you add a page for your drinking game and get 8 or 9 of your friends to come on the vfd page vouching for it, it would meet the standard that we're currently setting here. This of course begs the eternal question "how do we define notable?" If your drinking game became popular in your apartment building and 75 people played it, does that make it a "social phenomenon?" I am not a proponent of the google test mostly because of the insanely high false positive rate, but if something scores a big zilch, that's really saying something. Apollo58 23:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • What we have here is a bit different from "8 or 9 friends." We have various people who don't know each other, but who have independently participated in the game, in a variety of unrelated locations. As I've said before, we have verified the existence of this game. Factitious 05:39, August 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. While I've never actually participated in a game, I've heard it referenced by multiple unrelated social groups in real life. The fact that it is arguably an incredibly dumb game does not make it any less a real social phenomenon. --Ambyr 22:54, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Delete - I have scoured my address book for geeky friends who went to math camps around the country, as well as asked numerous acquaintances at MIT, and no one reports ever hearing of the game. I would argue that it is known only to a very, very small and insular social circle and probably treated as a joke even there, and hardly qualifies as a "social phenomenon." I played a bizarre card game in summer camp that some of my friends made up that was quite popular and if you looked really hard you could probably find 100 people with a dim recollection of it, but that doesn't make it a social phenomenon.Apollo58 23:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • I don't know most of the people here who know Color or Country (e.g. some are ten years older than me). That would seem to show that it's not restricted to an insular social circle. Scattered, yes, but scatteredness is not a reason for deletion in the way that insularity is. Sho Uemura 02:49, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. I first encountered this game at the PROMYS program, and later at my high school, and later at several other programs. Arguments that the game is stupid are irrelevant, since the discussion regards the worthiness of the article, not of the game. The fact that people would play such a game at all is fairly surprising and interesting information. While this game is confined to a small culture, this culture consists of much more than Mathcampers. It tends to spread through various programs such as Mathcamp, CTY, Ross, PROMYS, MOSP, the U.S. Physics Team training camp, Clay Research Academy, and many others. However, it is not confined to those programs. It is fairly well known to nerds in many high schools who did not go to any of these programs. MathNerd 03:28, 14 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment: At least something useful is coming from this VfD. I imagine that whoever originally posted the article, along with Rock Scissors which pretty much is non-notable, thought it was an isolated Mathcamp phenomenon. As a result of this discussion, various people have realized that their social group did not invent Colour or Country, and a lot of the history of a difficult-to-trace phenomenon has been traced. I guess VfD does generate some light along with its heat every once in a while. RSpeer 04:46, August 14, 2005 (UTC)

• Another comment - I want to further differentiate this from Mao and Mornington Crescent, because in those games you can actually win. This game has no purpose other than to confuse newcomers, which is fine, but then it doesn't move beyond that. One can only lose, and if the newcomer isn't an idiot s/he will probably not lose. In mornington crescent, a quick newcomer can win in one move and the game ends. If the newcomer here passes the test, the game immediately becomes unfunny. Not that this has bearing on delete/keep, just saying.
  • Another difference is that Mao and Mornington Crescent have hidden rules. Factitious 05:39, August 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • The Game might be a better comparison than those two, altho it isn't quite the same. But it appears to have similar difficulties with winning/losing, and doesn't have hidden rules. --Mairi 05:41, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

KN300 Assault Rifle

As far as I can tell, the "KN300 Assault Rifle" does not exist. The original article was signed "Article by Napster KN." Combined with a suspicious lack of factual information about the manufacturer or history, I am convinced that this weapon is a work of fiction. I've looked through all the edits of the page and they have only been to wikify, with no expansion or contextual editing that suggests anybody else has a knowledge of the weapon.

Searching for "KN300 Assault Rifle" through Google returns only Wikipedia text, and a search for "KN300" by itself returns pages about a crane, a pocket knife, a cell phone, a cafe, and a country club. "Napster KN" also returns no specific hits. I'm therefore nominating this article for deletion under

Article claims "Tafuc are a famous Irish band which has been creating music for over 40 years," and that "Tom Kelly" is the founding member.

Bhaya

It is very superficial information. Migrants from Uttar Pradesh and Bihar are generally referred to as "bhaiya", "or "bhaiyyah", ("bhaiyya" means brother in Hindi). Generally people in the places they work see them as a collective entity. Many of them are labourers/working class people-this is a term which a migrant would not prefer to called by (though it is quite a respectable word WITHIN the community. The dialects spoken by these people are Awadhi, Bhojpuri, Maithili and Maghi - all having entries on Wikipedia. These differene dialects are not differentiated by people of the other provinces and (especially Awadhi) is quite often used to in providing "character" to a character in Bollywood films — Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.101.91.81 (talk • contribs)

  • I agree that a movement, even a small one, should have an article. This article provides no evidence of any movement beyond that occurring when the author sits on the toilet. The artile does not even refer to a movement, but rather to an "ideology", which kind of supports Gazpacho's point that it is a personal manifesto. The fact that the author made ridiculous threats of legal action, and has already made aggressive and inappropriate edits to the article tells me that this is not someone we want around. Will anyone be allowed to edit this article to NPOV it or bring it up to Wikipeida standard? Or will this guy just keep reverting and blustering about? Ground Zero 21:22, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

(Author's comment). I wrote my name in full in a message which has got lost in the shuffle. My full real name is also in my registration. DELETE those who wish to delete my message, since they are racists, suppressors of freedom of speech, enemies of and within the Republic, which must be save from them.

If you were American citizens, you would want to join in this freedom movement; you are on the other side, children of the trators of the Constitution, from Wilson to Bush, the servant of a foreign power, the cohort of those who are striving to make the American cizens servants of others. Delete yourselves from this Land!

• COMMENT: I'm worried about the immediate impact this might have on wikipedia. A minute passes that this crap stays on wiki, the more likelihood that someone will take offense and sue wikipedia? I'm not a lawyer (tm) and cannot say with authority what would happen then, but are we not responsible at least partly for the contents that even anon vandals place on it? It's blatantly obvious that this anon vandal's agenda is racism, so there should, in theory, be no discussion about its validity, since it IS racism and not just TALKING ABOUT racism, and the last time I checked, racism is illegal. I suggest that we at least quarantine this article first and make it inacessible or something. This might be something I wanna bring up at the vfd reform too. -Hmib 05:07, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

CROATIAN METAL HISTORY Most of you are probably not familiar with any bands coming from Croatia, but there are quite some reasons for this fact...Apart from being a very small country with a population of only 4 million people, the Metal scene had to fight with several other problems like for instance the civil war, that took place from 1991 until 1995, and through which Croatia got an independent country. In days of former Yugoslavia and even nowadays, there was and is no underground label (because of the bad economical situation of the country), that could make promotion, but labels governed by the state. For this reason, there are only very few Metal albums done on a more proffessional format, which were mainly distributed to Yugoslavian only. But, nevertheless, quite a lot of underground bands were active, playing their music without getting much attention from the press. In the following lines, I will present you only bands from the nowadays Croatian territory (I focus mainly on the bands from the 80s, but also a few, that started in the early 90s!)........

........................Surely Grindcore legend PATARENI from Zagreb must not be missed, though many people would disagree to bring them in connection with Metal due to their influences from the Punk genre. But in my opinion, Metal is the biggest part of their music and therefore I will comment on them. PATARENI started back in 1983 and they are still alive! Their discography is immense with a lot of CDs, LPs and split singles with nowadays very famous bands such as Extreme Noise Terror, Agathocles or Cripple Bastards but also with unknown ones. Through this releases they gained a reputation as a cult band and many wellknown bands claimed PATARENI for being one of their main influences, which was prooved by several tribute releases. By the way, if you want to listen to their early from their long sold out split releases without paying exagerated prices, let me tell you that there was a CD released with the title "Tko Ne Pamti Iznova Prozivljava", that includes many material of those times. However, this band has made a lot of tours through foreign countries in the past and even played some shows in the USA. BUKA was a project of some Patareni members, that started around 1980 and ceased to exist in ca. 1990. I don`t have any information on their discography, but I know, that they have some split releases with Patareni. Well, I had only the oportunity to listen to their split CD and their side was called "Untalented After All These Seconds". Well, by selecting such a title, you can imagine how serious they took themselves. To me, the music is similiar to Patareni, but it is less Metal and more noisy and chaotic Grindcore with many crazy ideas, though still justified to categorize them in the Metal genre. But still I am of the opinion that if you like Patareni, you will also enjoy BUKA as long as you have a big sense for humour (but normally, every Patareni fan is humouristic, otherwise they would not like them!).

List of HTML decimal character references (2nd VFD)

A list of every HTML character entity and the corresponding Unicode character from 32 to 10999. Great source material, but Wikipedia is not the place for it. It's been transwikied to Wikisource, so delete. --Carnildo 19:38, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. The result of the previous VFD, which only ended a week ago, was to
  keep. If List of XML and HTML character entity references should be kept, so should this. Also, it wasn't transwiki'd to Wikisource, but simply duplicated there. This doesn't imply that the list belongs there, anymore than it implies that the list doesn't belong here. — BRIAN0918

• Keep. I think it's borderline so I'm not surprised that someone has transwikied it to WikiSource where it would also be appropriate, but I can conceive of encyclopedic uses for this list. For instance one could link the more significant characters or blocks of characters to relevant articles. As an example, say I don't recognise the symbol "σ" and I'd like to know what uses it has, it could be linked to Sigma. Enties like that would in time produce a very valuable encyclopedic resource, and not something one would necessarily want to do on WikiSource where the relevant articles can only be reached via transwiki link to Wikipedia. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 20:25, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Hassi Messaoud Field

This article is in the wrong place: Hassi Messaoud is a large oil field in Saudi Arabia Algeria; this is something about a new kind of pump. (I think? It's almost completely incomprehensible.) It has to be moved to another location, at the least; however, I'd suggest we delete it. Eugene van der Pijll 20:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Concur w/ EvdP, except that the field seems to be in Algeria. I cannot find anything that looks like the pump this article seems to be extolling. The region apparently also was formerly an oasis for traders in the Sahara, if someone finds enough info on that I would support it, but the oilfield itself (and certainly this article) seems non-notable.

  Do you know how many papers are published every year? Just take a look at one of the indices or sets of abstracts for a single subject-area. There are hundreds of thousands of them (probably millions if we look at world-wide publications; a paper from the "Institute of Science in Society" quotes a rough estimate of millions a year, and a paper on Physics Web reveals that "the number of papers published every year in the natural sciences has increased by a factor of between two and four since 1974"). There might not be much difference between an individual separate article and a bibliographic listing (though in fact I'm pretty certain that there would be at the numbers involved here), but 99% of papers wouldn't be mentioned in any bibliography on Wikipedia (or anywhere else). (Research done a few years ago, using a couple of prestigious Physics journals as its subjects, showed that individual papers were read by an average of one and a half people.)
  In any case, that's not my main reason for the nomination. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 09:38, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you view my merged version here, you will see that i managed to keep all the information, (including pictures), in one article (except for the lyrics, which are almost certainly copyrighted). I preserved the single timeline by slightly altering the infobox. It makes so much more sense to do it this way. Currently, song articles in Wikipedia are all primarily about the song, with single releases of the song mentioned as part of the article (see Wikipedia:WikiProject Songs). Creating two articles about one song doesn't make sense, no matter how many times it has been recorded and released as a single. By the proposed scheme of having articles about each single release of a song could end up creating hundreds of articles with little meaningful information about frequently covered songs (or duplicating most of the information in each article). --Moochocoogle 19:57, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

A note on the article or my talk page have alerted me to the ongoing discussion on rules for articles subject to this catgory - I understand that a consensus is forming that supports your edits, however, loss of clarity in the topic for the want of two pages would be a shame.

The result of the debate was delete. The "5000 google hits" argument was, in my mind, successfully rebutted by the analysis that only about 140 of them were non-duplicative. 140 hits is well below even the minimal standards normally accepted for an article from popular culture.

Faites l'Amour avec Clara Morgane

I'm an inclusionist, but this is where even inclusionism stops. Forget the nudie pics, which are easily removed, but Wikipedia can quite obviously never contain articles on every porn movie ever created (I'm pretty sure porn movies are shot at a faster rate than we get contributors). It stands to reason therefore that all those that are included should be notable for something (

• Keep, 5,900 google hits. I don't follow your argument... users would want to be able to look this up, why deny them that?
  Kappa 22:32, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

  Because this is not what an encyclopedia ought to be. Subjective? Yes. I'm not going to pretend it's not. This article can probably be made verifiable, so that's not the problem. I am voting on notability here. "User would want to be able to look this up", can you imagine anything that falsifies such a criterion? Somewhere, somehow, someone is going to want to look up anything you can possibly imagine. By this criterion, everything of which the existence can be independently verified should have an article. I don't believe that's tenable. JRM · Talk 22:42, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  "Subjective" is the opposite of NPOV. 5,900 google hits prove that far more than "someone, somewhere" would want to be able to look this up.

  Kappa 22:51, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

  The neutral point of view does not apply to article inclusion criteria. And 5,900 Google hits can be irrelevant, just as 12 can be. JRM · Talk 22:53, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  Clarification, as I see an important misunderstanding arising here. The "subjective" part arises not in deciding whether this particular movie should be in Wikipedia, but whether all movies that do not establish notability apart from having been sold to people at some time should be. I can see how applying a criterion like "I don't think it should be here" for individual articles would be wrong and decidedly non-neutral. (Though it still has nothing to do with NPOV as written.) JRM · Talk 23:02, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  Requiring extra notability beyond a reasonably sized audience is not representing the POV of that audience, probably all of whom would like to be able to look it up.

  Kappa 23:33, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

  ]

  "I want to be able to look this up" is not a point of view, not in the sense we use it. A POV is a way of interpreting reality, not a desire. Your claim seems to be that if something has 5,900 Google hits, this establishes that many people believe it is notable, and it is this POV that ought to be represented. I dispute that. While many people will have been involved in the production, marketing, selling and buying of this movie, you will not convince me that they (or even a significant portion of them) believe this movie ought to be in an encyclopedia, or that they would think it a good idea if it were, or in fact anything else relevant to Wikipedia's coverage. I acknowledge that we have a difference of opinion on what the encyclopedia should contain, but I cannot agree that my opinion somehow violates NPOV. JRM · Talk 23:52, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Actual effects of invading Iraq

Before anyone objects, I know cleanup candidates shouldn't be brought here, but I'm being bold. I think this article is beyond cleanup and we should just put it out of its pathetic miserable existence. As it stands, it isn't an assessment of the effects of invasion; it is a POV scorecard on whether the alleged objectives have been met. The subject is covered elsewhere- whatever your view on Iraq, consider whether this article can ever be anything other than the shitty mess it has been up till now --

• Please also give your assessment at the duplicate article
  Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Predicted effects of invading Iraq

• Delete.The article takes newsworthy events and has to interpret them in its own way to reach the conclusions it does, and thus is a mixture of POV and original research and irredemably so. This article should be remade in the future when the "actual" effects have come to be agreed by the expert community. Try again in about 2050. -Splash 23:52, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• I'd say delete (along with its sister article, Predicted effects of invading Iraq). I'm sure the contents are covered elsewhere, and the format is irredeemably unencylopedic, I think. The only iota of value is as a brainstorm for checking these issues are covered in the appropriate articles. Which in fact leads to the suggestion of maybe moving it to a relevant talk page or wikiproject page (see Category:2003 Iraq conflict; funnily enough there's a Wikipedia:WikiProject Iran but not Wikipedia:WikiProject Iraq). Rd232 23:59, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Unsustainable article that will rapidly degenerate into a POV-battlefield. Actual subliminally indicates that all other findings of such effects are untruthful, adding to POV problems. -Hmib 00:57, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep. Very well researched article. Wikipedia seldom covers historical events so well. The writers are to be commended. One point: the claims researched should be sourced, and the sources should be predictions made before and during the invasion. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 02:18, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Wikipedia seldom covers historical events with so many question marks. The reason there are so many is because the actual effects simply aren't known yet, and the only way one can claim to know what they are is to interpret a set of facts relating to one of the most unstable situations in the world. There is no reason why this could not be recreated in 10-15 years' time. -Splash 02:34, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • If the question marks bother you, edit the article to replace them with the word "uncertain" or a phrase such as "not yet known". Or comment out the predictions for which the outcome is still uncertain; they can be added back. The other results are useful where the prediction can be sourced (as I said above) and the outcome is known for a fact (such as for instance the toppling of Saddam Hussein, the elimination of the threat of future Iraqi used of weapons of mass destruction, etc). It's close to OR but I think it can be done in a neutral way from sources and should be allowed to continue with that objective in mind. --Tony Sidaway^Talk 08:14, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. The worthwhile material is already better covered elsewhere. - SimonP 16:39, August 13, 2005 (UTC)
• keep (and actually put some work into it!) It is pretty bad as it is, but the idea of the article, in correspondance to the predicted effects... article, is exactly to be a scorecard: to record all of the predictions and compare them with what actually happened. Provided one is thorough and honest about what was predicted (and doesn't revise it retrogressively to fit a conclusion), and these predictions are objective, onecan also be objective about the actual effects. if the result strongly favors a given conclusion, that is no proof that there was any POV involved. To think it would be would be employing the "gray fallacy" - the fallacy that nothing is ever black and white but is always a shade of gray almost exactly between the two. There is absolutely nothing that garauntees this. It is a specail case of "assuming the conclusion" - which is exactly what one wants to avoid when trying to achieve NPOV. And no, the worthwhile material is not already better covered elsewhere.

the corresponding page, "predicted effects..." already faced a vfd about a year ago on the basis of things being "unattributed opinions", but it passed because the authors provided sources, thus attributing the predictions. To say that the information in this article is unattributed is factually incorrect, besides being clearly intended to persuade rather than reason (clearly, in that it is false. and also in light of the following). The fundamental question, whoever, is whether the predictions accurately and proportionally represent the spectrum of predictions made in support of or opposition to the war, during the time prior to the war. The thorough attribution in this article (at the bottom, rather than mixed in) is simply one means of approaching that goal. And certainly there is much further to go; much work to be done on this article. In any case, the point of this article is to be just that: a snapshot of the various predictions concerning the iraq war prior to the war - for the sake of history and reflection. Remember, the coming generations are not going to have experienced the iraq war and the political turmoil surrounding it - they're not going to know all of those things that both the people voting "keep" and the people voting "delete" do, unless we make a record of that information here. That is the point of an encyclopdia, that is the point of academic literature in general. those voting "delete" are encouraged to "then fix it", so that future generations may have the knowledge that they, and we all collectively, do, but would otherwise be lost to them.

Delete nn online game. Gets about 240 useful Google hits, and the website has an Alexa rank of about 1,900,000 — which is very low considering one might expect the players to be bumping that up some. -Splash 23:42, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of Agricultural Web Sites

Delete since

WP:ISNOT a web-directory which this article confesses to being in its title. I thought about slapping a speedy on this since it is tantamount to a single external link but isn't quite there. -Splash 23:49, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Delete as per nominator. Zoe 23:50, August 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per the fact that the page is important in keeping the huge amount of external links in agricultural articles manageable. Lapinmies 00:06, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

    policy to state that you are the article's author. --IByte 00:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

  POV-pushing, by the way. --IByte 00:32, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply

• Delete but a couple of these sites could be added to the agriculture article, which is pretty US-centric —Wahoofive (talk) 06:01, 13 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete but add new links to Agriculture. If that article does get unwieldy, there may come a time when it makes sense to split the links into a separate article. -- DS1953 07:09, August 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete in agreement with the nominator. Our approach to growing lists of links should not be to create pages of links, but rather to become more skilled in choosing the right links -- people come here for information, and expect to be given it. A mammoth list of links doesn't qualify: if it's too hard to choose the right (limited number of) links, then I think the editors involved need to seek advice from others. Jwrosenzweig 08:42, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. Add any useful links not in the Agriculture article to that one and delete this. Thryduulf 10:14, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Martin Shearman-Brettle

Delete nn "producer". I get 5 Google hits with mirrors removed, and nothing on allmusic.com for either him or his product, which "...is an exploration into the raw elements of sound of music." -Splash 23:57, 12 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Envelope paradox

There is no paradox. The logic is ridiculous. The value of "A" isn't a set amount, it's a VARIABLE. It could be a certain neverchanging monetary value "B" or it could be half of "B". So how can you tell whether you've made a profit if if you don't know what "A" is? 159.134.245.44 00:58, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: the logical fallacies of the argument are treated in the article itself. See Category:Paradoxes for a million similar examples. —Wahoofive (talk) 04:14, 15 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep, what paradox doesn't reflect a mistake in reasoning? This paradox is cited. Gazpacho 01:34, 16 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as above. Trollderella 02:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]
