The International Music Industry and the Internet

Looks like a personal essay. The same user/author(?) also added Wikipedia:Sociology of Wikipedia via Rorty and Berger, which I wikified a little and moved to Wikipedia namespace as it may be interesting to wikipedians.--Nabla 00:44, 2005 Jun 15 (UTC)

• Delete. OR, WP:NOT crystal ball. Massive unwikified text dump of a speculative essay, much of which is unattributed quotes. Looks like someone's homework. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 01:03, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep If wikify-able. I have done some edits to remove the layout objections, but this is quite obviously someone's term paper. However, I think there is useful information here which is not original research, but collation of many articles already out there on paper. --Habap 19:08, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep.
  Wikipedia is not a soapbox or a place for OR, however, I think there is much to save from this essay that is verifiable and NPOV. It will require a great deal of trimming and cleaning-up but could be the start of a very good article. DoubleBlue (Talk)
  22:57, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• I think a lot of those issues may already be covered in other articles, but if somebody wants to take the time to re-write this, then I'll change my vote to "keep." Blackcats 01:59, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• This article needs major cleanup. It's obviously full of POV and the conclusion lets us know it's somebody's research paper. Keep iff it's had major revision by the end of the voting period, otherwise delete. RickK 05:03, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • I just realized something. As I said, this article reads like somebody's homework... what if it is a rough draft of some student's paper, and we are cleaning it up for him/her? Could be... AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:01, Jun 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete POV original research. JamesBurns 06:32, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I think it could be useful if someone were willing to remove the arguments, take out the stuff that makes it a research paper and make it NPOV. I got tired after trimming it down and also trying to do the same with SoGamed. I think it should get tagged for NPOV, Cleanup and wikify rather than deletion. --Habap 18:33, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Despite the work that various editors have tried, still not good enough. Delete.DS 14:21, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Starfox movie

Not notable. Vanity. It is a fan made video game movie that hasn't been released yet. It has no relations with Nintendo. The website is quite amateurish with default image manipulation effects.

Lin kuei

Fiction masquerading as fact, fancruft from the mortal combat domain -- pcr^talk 00:49, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

also Lin Kuei which appears to be a duplicate -- pcr^talk 00:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete both as severe fancruft. It was difficult to tell until they mentioned Sub-Zero, et al. Mr Bound 02:00, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Most of it is just fancruft. However, the term Lin Kuei does exist in the Mortal Kombat series. So unless it's trivial, a rewrite is also good. Nestea 03:39, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• delete. also a copyvio (although the page is not available, this is the google cache). Brighterorange 03:42, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Keep. This can be turned from fiction masquerading as fact by simply placing at the beginning, "In the mythology of the Mortal Kombat series of video games, ..." Copyvio is a different problem, but fixable, and not one for vfd. --

  • Eh, I fixed it a bit - made it clear that it's fiction, and BOLDLY REDIRECTED the original page to the properly capitalized one (since they were duplicates, no harm, no foul). I have no desire to fight to keep this, tho - once the copyvio is scratched out, there may be only enough left to merge into some character article. Cheers. --

• I edited it a LOT. I kept all the previous information (let's call it "BS") in the bottom two sections, with a note that says it's disputed. If somebody can point to a source (for instance, MK: Defenders of the Realms or some such), then that'd be fine, but as it was, it sucked. The other sections now come straight from the games, except where noted. It's very complete, though maybe somebody could find a better word for "roboticization", as it currently links to a site from Sonic the Hedgehog :-) As for keeping, I say Keep if only because of the time I spent on it (cross-referencing as necessary). While Sub-Zero's page has some similar info, I think focusing on the group has an interesting angle (especially if future games delve into it more).

• Keep. — J3ff 02:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Now that its been made clear that it's about Mortal Kombat. -- Crevaner 04:57, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep due to no consensus. There are nine delete votes, and eight keep votes, but one of those is from an entirely new user who's first edit was to vote on this VFD, and it is discounted. Still 9-7 is not a sufficient consensus to delete. Sjakkalle (Check!) 14:52, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • "The traffic rank is based on three months of aggregated historical traffic data from millions of Alexa Toolbar users and is a combined measure of page views and users (reach)." I just find it hilarious that you guys find it a problem with this article being on Wiki. Also that you so blindly follow Alexa. It's not saying much about the anime community in Norway, since I really doubt many norwegians use the Alexa Toolbar.

The Contest

An anon just created this article, and it describes an episode on a TV show. At the most, it should be merged with the article on the TV show- unless Wikipedia gives articles to every episode of a show? Flcelloguy 02:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and rename to The Contest. Many TV series get the article-per-episode treatment on Wikipedia, and there are already some for Seinfeld. In addition, this might be one of the most famous/popular episodes of the show – it's certainly one of my favorites. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 02:14, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  The Contest (Seinfeld) as the current title is too generic and there are probably other episodes of TV shows that have this same title.23skidoo
  15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • There's no need to pre-emptively disambiguate the title. The article's first line clearly explains that the article is about an episode of Seinfeld. If and when someone comes along and wants to create The Contest (foo), disambiguation can occur then. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 16:01, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep or merge with Blog or Google. Mark Jen is not the only person who has a lost a job as a result of what s/he put on his/her blog, so you might want to have a section of the Blog article relating to "perils of blogging in a work situation where the rules are not clearly stated" or something like that.

  • If he said he "wrote his blog in his private time to keep in touch with family and friends" on that show, then he misrepresented himself to quite a large degree. He revealed information about unreleased products and financial issues at Google. Perhaps calling him a moron was a bit harsh, but publishing this sort of information on the Web within weeks of being hired without thinking about the potential consequences is a bit naïve, to say the least. His case has almost nothing to do with civil rights or whistleblowing. I have researched and considered this – I read all about it when it hit Slashdot – and took a look at his blog again before casting my vote above. The guy is not notable outside of the context of this flap with Google. AиDя01DTALKEMAIL 12:55, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Great, now it's a dicdef with some examples of somebody's favorite songs. How did you decide that "Purple Haze" is the Jimi Hendrix signature song (as opposed to, say, the Star-Spangled Banner)? Maple Leaf Rag is a much better-known song by Scott Joplin than The Entertainer, although the latter got a bunch of attention by being used in The Sting. All you did was add the song you know best by each performer. Six months from now it will be a random selection of people's favorite songs from their favorite bands. There's no verifiability for this list. You just made the article much worse by adding these. Without those it's still a dicdef.—Wahoofive (talk) 15:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I got 3 of them, including Purple Haze, by googling "signature song" and knowing that they had articles. Someone else had already added "signature song" to

• Delete, unverifiable and subjective.

  • I see that you would either leave Styx off the list or remove the Examples section. How does that equate to delete the article itself? DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:34, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article itself is an encyclopedic explanation. The four examples only serve to clarify the concept more. This article should not devolve to an unverifiable list of signature songs. Should the examples be controversial, just remove that section. DoubleBlue (Talk) 23:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep although I also share R. fiend's concern about this becoming a list of one-hit wonders. Hopefully editors will boldly remove songs that are not really signature songs, although as FCYTravis says, it is not very objective. In my mind, a signature song means the one song that a popular and well-established singer (a much higher standard than merely a "notable" singer) is identified with even though he has had success with a variety of songs. I don't really understand what the current article means when it talks about songs the artist is "praised" for. DS1953 23:48, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • and by the way, in my opinion, many, if not most, well established artists are known by their body of work and have no "signature song". DS1953 23:54, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • This is the problem, we need someone who's had more than one hit (because, let's face it, "567-5309 Jenny" is not the sort of thing we need in this article) but they have to be widely known for one song above all else, but not too much above all else (or we're back in the one hit wonder grey area). I'm sure someone will add Tom Jones singing "It's Not Unusual" and I have no idea if that's enough above the hits like "Delilah" or "What's New Pussycat" to qualify, and I can see debates going on about such things (if anyone cares). These things are always tricky. And I still don't think anyone's taken care of the needed work on the
      cult musician article, which has similar issues. -R. fiend

      • I'll give it a stab as soon as I get my real work done for the day... DS1953 00:06, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Wahoofive, I don't think a list is verifiable (although I think the example of "I Left my Heart in San Francisco" and Tony Bennett would gain almost universal acceptance as a "signature song") but I think an explanation with a few examples is verfifiable (i.e., the concept of a signature song is valid). I am not proposing a list of signature songs and I would hope (maybe unreasonably) that additions that don't garner almost universal agreement should be removed. DS1953 00:05, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Wahoofive, TonyBennett.net: "his now renowned signature song, 'I Left My Heart In San Francisco'", BBC News: "Franklin ... best known for her signature song Respect.", 45s.com:"'The Wanderer' ... is considered to be Dion's signature song." Hendrix is less clear; though google supports "Purple Haze". I can see how it could become problematic and wouldn't mind if the examples section was removed. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:29, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, I hope you're right. I have visions of revert wars everytime somebody adds the latest top-40 hit. Without the list it's still just a dicdef (and a pretty clumsy one at that: "an artist may have one or many signature songs..."). I don't deny the concept exists but I can't see this becoming encyclopedic.—Wahoofive (talk) 01:47, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep valid concept. A useful list may emerge, but that would be at a linked page (List of...), rather than at this one. Grutness...wha? 02:53, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • A separate list? That's the worst idea yet. -R. fiend 03:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Keep with a cleanup of the text towards a cleaner definition. I'm not sure about keeping the examples, but then I don't think we need a list either. Vegaswikian 05:46, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete this list is very POV subjective and quite possibly unmaintainable. JamesBurns 07:36, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This screams subjectivity. Some songs by an artist are more popular in one market than another. --Madchester 17:19, 2005 Jun 16 (UTC)
• Delete. This is a really bad idea for all the reasons given by the delete voters. Look at the article, after keep voters have improved it. "A signature song is a song considered to be the best material produced by an artist when they are at their artistic peak." -- considered best by who? Who says when they are at their artistic peak? "These songs are often praised by a particular performance of them by an artist at a concert or other event of significance." -- how is a song praised by a performance? I don't understand that sentence. "An artist can have one or many signature songs and they can have different signature songs in different parts of the world depending on where they are praised." -- lovely. One or many. How about I just say that all 38 of Elvis Presley's top 10 hits were his signature songs. I see no hope of verifiability of this ultra-subjective categorization, and not verifiable means not encyclopedic. Once the unverifiable material is removed all that's left is a dicdef.

Hi, i am the author of one of the below "keep" comments. i would like to adress the sock puppets accusation... im not sure what exactly sock puppets means, but i guess it's something to do with all the votes being from the one person? you may find with a little research, perhaps contact the institution mentioned on the ian hedger page (st. bede's college, mentone, victoria, australia), that many of these comments come from students. they have heard about the page through word of mouth, and are supporting the TRUE story about their friend/acquantance. You may also find that the two entries from the same IP adress are entries from step brothers, using two computers on the same network. I urge that these facts be considered before this page is dismissed as a hoax or a joke. Before dismissing this, someone please do some research.

• Keep I can't believe this story is being considered for deletion. I think one will find over the next few years a number of websites and articles being made in devotion to this story. The myths surrounding this case are simply untrue and unjustified. A depressed boy goes missing, and immediately people begin pawning off murders onto him. The chances of the boy still being alive are virtually zero, and it is my belief that he has found a happier place. Ian Hedger must not be forgotten, and I hope anyone who tries to remove this tribute to him, or deface it, suffers a similar fate. - Brother Paul Kenjamin, F.S.C. - anon vote by User:203.31.184.154 - only three edits to Wikipedia are on this VFD and the page.

List of massacres committed during the Al-Aqsa Intifada

I know there was a VfD for this one already, but that was more than a year ago, and I think it needs to be reconsidered. This article is some of the most blatant POV I’ve seen yet on Wikipedia. Even the American mainstream media, which has a definite pro-Israel bias, does not refer to suicide bombings as massacres. “Massacre” is a very emotive word, and does not fit with the mission of being informative. A list like this should simply be called what it is – a “list of major suicide-bombings against Israel since 2000.” The page was designed to give readers the impressions that Israel has been victim of repeated “massacres,” while killings of Palestinians are left out. The Israel human rights group BtSelem, however, reports that more than three times more Palestinians have been killed by Israelis during this period than Israelis killed by Palestinians [8]. The authors of this page claim that it wasn’t designed just for killings where the victims were Israelis, but the wording was cleverly designed to exclude any actions by the Israeli government, since of course it will always deny that any of their actions intentionally targeted civilians. So therefore none of them will ever appear on this list. So anyway, unless this article is dramatically changed, so as to remove the word “massacre” and either include violence against Palestinians or be clearly labeled as “violence against Israelis,” then it deserves to be deleted as POV propaganda. Blackcats 08:07, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• • What do you think should be done with Deir Yassin massacre? It also has that very emotive word "massacre" in the title, which "does not fit with the mission of being informative". Should it be moved to a less emotive title, or simply deleted as per this article? Jayjg ^(talk) 15:34, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Naming Conventions, Jay, Dictate that it stays, much like Cedar Revolution. "Deir yassin Massacre" 6,630 Google Hits, whereas "Moment cafe massacre" 8 Google hits. "Moment Cafe Bombing" however gets 45 Google Hits.--Irishpunktom\^talk 16:22, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Blackats' argument wasn't made based on naming conventions, but rather on the claim that the word "massacre" was "emotive" and therefore the article should be deleted. By the way, how would your Google test work for "Passover massacre", which gets 8,060 hits, vs. Wikipedia's article
    Netanya suicide attack, which gets 223 hits, most of them Wikipedia mirrors? Jayjg ^(talk)
    20:58, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Of the Google hits for "Passover Massacre," only 3,610 even mention "Netanya" [9]. 10,900 mention "suicide bombing" in conjuction with "Netanya" without even mentioning the word "massacre" [10]. 3390 mention "suicide attack" in conjunction with "Netanya," again without the word "massacre" mentioned [11]. So there's no clear case for calling any incident in Netanya "the Passover Massacre." Blackcats 22:11, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - Propaganda. --Irishpunktom\^talk 10:41, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - it's quite irrelevant that the list doesn't mention Palestinian casualties - nothing prevents creation of a similar list on numbers of Palestinians killed in specific Israeli actions - and putting a "See also" linking to it on the bottom of this page. I agree that "massacre" is a loaded word, but most of these events involved the deaths of 20+ people, so the title is not misleading... no objection to substituting "suicide bombings" for massacres. --

• Rename If this is a list of suicide bomb attacks then that is what it should say. Massacre is a loaded term, even if more than 10 people die and we should be careful of using it anywhere especially as here without any discussion of the facts of the incidents.old joe 11:03, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, they could be investigated to see if they fit the description. I would assume that something which without warning deliberately kills, say, ten unarmed civilians going about their daily business would generally be described as a massacre, any effort to pretty it up would be adding a POV; sometimes things speak for themselves. Compare to the constant campaign to delete quotes from Ann Coulter from her wikipage because they make her look bad and thus are POV. We could put a comment in for each whether it was suicide bomb or more personal methodology if we're dubious about calling a suicide bombing a massacre. I don't know if ten is the accepted threshold for a massacre or not. Gzuckier 16:16, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Having myself created
  List of Algerian massacres of the 1990s, I certainly won't suggest that this page should be deleted simply for referring to events as massacres. The term "massacre" is an appropriate description for killings of large numbers of civilians at once, and I would consider it an accurate description of at least some of the events linked. However, 10 is probably too low a threshold (I used 50 myself), and Blackcats is certainly right to highlight the weasel wording that allows massacres by Israel to be kept out of the list. Keep and cleanup. - Mustafaa

Comment: Since in Greek an /h/ is merely an aspiration mark and, in general, /h/ is not a consonant, it's quite likely for an "Herb/herb" divergence to take place, but it's just as likely that they're separate words from separate languages. It's just not logically necessary for one to be from the other, and "Americanizing" names doesn't usually involve aspirating their initial vowels. Geogre 17:45, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jay Blanchard (filmmaker)

While reverting some sneaky vandalism done to my user page, I checked the vandal's edits. There I found this page, and as the person mentioned seemed unnotable, I nominated him here. Note: The name gets a lot of google hits, but they seem to be for other Jay Blanchards, such as the state senator or the professor. Scimitar 15:35, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Keep-- This is a legitimate entry. The above statement is incomprehensible & seems like more of a revenge vote than an actual dismissal of the page. Jay Blanchard's work can be found online, as well as much of his writing about experimental film, which has published domestically and internationally. I don't think a simple Google search for a common name should be a measure of importance. User:CMarker12 15:43, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• A lot of people's work can be found online, but anyone can put films or websites up nowadays. He appears to be just another guy with his camera. And there's thausands of similar people, and nothing to distinguish him from the others. (see solah films and 54 hours film). Unless you can provide evidence he's famous, or otherwise important delete. Mgm|^(talk) 18:09, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

Umm...genius? The solahfilms website you linked to is Jay Blanchard's site. And he is a member of the 54-hrs. collective. If anyone can "pick up a camera and make a film", try it. What a joke. comment made by anon166.19.102.20 Sign your votes please.--Scimitar 19:14, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

St Matthew's Church, Kensington, Adelaide

I have listed this article for deletion because (a) it is incorrectly named, (b) it is more of an advertisement than an article and (c) it is not notable.

People apply the "Pokémon test" but don't really comprehend how widely known Pokémon actually is. The Pokémon test actually sets quite a high bar, not the low one that people make it out to set.

• Of the 534 edits to the article since it was created on 17 July 2004, almost all of them have been reverted as "vandalism" or as the addition of inappropriate content (all the "Totse-isms"). The vandalism and reversions has been fairly constant throughout the life of the article. The alexa ranking is currently at about 15,000 but has been highly variable over time and appears to have centered around 25,000 or so. If the claims of the current article are to be believed, there are only 30k users - not all that many for an internet forum. I would normally give some deferrence to an article that has been around for a year but the vandalism history concerns me deeply. Undecided for now but leaning toward delete. More

He continued to make lists only slightly more viable than List of movies with the words "good", "bad", and "ugly" in the title on one extreme, and List of movies about stuff on the other, as well as making substubs that didn't even contain the most basic information an article requires. Most had to be salvaged by some of us who cleaned them up to make them even minimally viable. I can't speak for the user's intent, not knowing what it is, but keep in mind intent is the difference between murder and manslaughter.

Painted Whore (formerly (The Painted Whore)

Article is improperly formatted; also, title begins with an open parenthesis "("). Moreover, Google searches for "The Painted Whore" + Sarah, or + "Black Bishop", or any of the other cited characters in the entry come up with 0 hits. This is anonymous IP's first and only contribution. jglc | t | c 16:47, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Not a notable term - nor even one that is in use, surely. Those who do telecomms will be offended that such garbage is attributed to their field! Also, it doesn't appear on the Federal Standard 1037C page, which gets the blame for many substandard technical articles. Further, that page says "insubstantial articles ... should not be copied into Wikipedia", which doesn't qualify as a policy, but still. I don't think there's much point in a redirect, either - else we'll end up redirecting small computer, big computer and my sister's computer too - none of which will be searched for any more than this one will.-Splash 20:24, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep for historical reasons, and expand. Once upon a time general purpose computers were not taken for granted. This definition (which is attributed in the article to Federal Standard 1037C) dates from the 1950s when, for instance, floating point units were the exception and computers intended for use in business often used hard-coded binary coded decimal logic.

• Strong Keep this still is a term in use! Its usage is now more towards CPUs specifically, but it still has wide use. Search not only google, but google news. [19] when the term was used to compare against the xbox. SchmuckyTheCat 04:18, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Kingsway Hall

Listed for speedy, but not a speedy candidate--about some sort of music hall in London. No vote from me. Meelar (talk) 18:58, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep A quick search for "Kingsway Hall" + Music shows that it was a widely used concert venue, and the location of many classical recordings. Looks like a valid stub to me. Leithp 19:55, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep per Leithp. -- Jonel | Speak 03:57, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Karli Sacharowitz

Speedy Delete Not notable, nonsense, verified this person was not runner up in 1912 Tour De France, only 1 entry in Google. Srcrowl 19:05, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete as hoax. I'm trusting your research. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 21:28, Jun 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Other than the article claims, "she" is not remembered in Austria. Furthermore, "Karli" is not a female name, but a male name (diminutive for Karl). Martg76 22:23, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

        --- RESPONSE: Are you kidding???? So is Carly also "diminutive for Karl"? Nonsense, Karli is a girl's name. There was an Austrian Karli cyclist too, guys!

• Delete unverified, possible hoax. --Etacar11 00:04, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)
