History of Croatian Serbs

Rule from Starting new page: whether a separate page is justified; perhaps it is better to add the text to a related page (especially if the text is not very long); that page can always be split later, after it has grown. The history section from Serbs of Croatia isnt expanded enough already and this article is already made. Luka Jačov 23:49, 14 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete I don't see how such a bizarre article could have appeared in the first place ? It's based solely on Porphyrogenetus's fictions & other fable-like stuff that has been amply discussed & shown to be discredited elsewhere:De Administrando Imperio, Talk:History_of_Bosnia_and_Herzegovina, Talk:Travunia,..This is a piece of nutty Serbian propaganda (Đorđe Janković & other champs of bonkers archaelogy). But, I guess the page is going to stay. Which raises a few intriguing questions, particularly about bystanders's/outsiders's capability to evaluate the veracity or validity of obscure historical sources on equally obscure and muddled themes.

Hoax. Article indicates subject's term as Bailiff was 1971-1975. However, during this period the Bailiffs were Sir Robert Hugh Le Masurier (1962-1973) and Sir Herbert Frank Cobbold Ereaut (1973-1988)[1]. See also:

Science fiction Western

WP:NOR. Scifi/Western crossovers are exceedingly rare and it isn't really a western per se. This page is original research about science fiction films with "western/cowboy" influences, such as apparently Star Trek, or Steampunk stories that happen to play in the wild west (such as Wild Wild West).

  • Keep --nihon 03:58, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename: "Space Western" is a term that has been broadly used for over sixty years. "Space" is an adjective that describes the setting. "Western" is a noun that describes the type of story. The setting adjective always precedes the type-of-story noun. In the case where a Science Fiction story is told in a Western setting (i.e. "Wild Wild West"), the adjective would be "Western," and the noun would be "Science Fiction." The only logical name for this genre is "Western Science Fiction." --Blindingly Glowing 17:05, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Rename to Western Science Fiction per Blindingly Glowing's comments above and create a new article on the Space Western genre. *Peace Inside 21:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: The problem with "Western science fiction" is that it is ambiguous whether it refers to science fiction with elements of the Western genre, or science fiction with considered with regard to Western civilization (as opposed, presumably, to science fiction with an Eastern focus, e.g the Chung Kuo novel series). Compare discussion at the CfD for the related category. —Josiah Rowe (talk • contribs) 21:26, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rename to "Space Western". Preaky 21:35, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (neutral about name change). I found this article through a Google search about Serentity/Firefly and learned a lot about the genre from it. It does seem to be a valid sub-species of SciFi and the article does a good job explaining it. Slapshot24 08:08, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep (no opinion about name change). I don't think it's original research -- it is seemingly one of the more common sub-genres of science fiction. On whether it should be renamed or not -- I don't personally care, since its synonyms will eventually redirect to this article anyway. — T-Boy: (complain bitterly) (laugh contemptuously) 03:03, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete or redirect to suitable article (I couldn't find one though), I fixed the external link in the article, but only gets a few googles anyway.--MONGO 09:07, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak keep. Appears to be a schismatic Catholic group originating in Brazil. Would be inclined to give a group like this the benefit of a doubt, at least with regards to notability; the group may not have a big web presence. Probably ought to move to Catholic Apostolic National Church. A general account of their beliefs, with particular attention to the grounds for their separation from Rome, would be more helpful here. Smerdis of Tlön 21:39, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It seems to be a genuine religious community. Google for "Dom Luis Fernando Castillo Mendez", their "Patriarch", and see especially here [5]. The article now references a source, a website, and the website claims over a million adherents worldwide and has some photographs of church activities, including services with bishops and what might be construed as a church building. But that website is a sorry business, hosted on a commercial web provider with lots of ads, evidently pieced together quickly with lots of empty stubs (including a stub contact page). And the guy they have a photograph of in a priest's costume looks as if he might just as well be some student posing for a hoax. If that's the official site of the British branch of this church, then that branch at least hasn't been doing much publicity work so far. I would give them a few days time to collect more serious references. Also, the authors of the article need to make up their minds whether they want the article to deal with only the British branch, or the worldwide church it represents. As it stands, the article text doesn't match the title. Lukas 22:38, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Move to Catholic Apostolic National Church in Great Britain. Apparently there are other churches that call themselves Catholic Apostolic National Church which are not associated with these folks or Igrejas Católicas Apostólicas Nacionais (the originating organization in Brazil). But agree with Smerdis of Tlön, these guys should stay in. Crypticfirefly 04:22, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete or maybe move and extensively refactor. This is a national chapter of the Catholic Apostolic Church of Brazil, a spinoff founded by Carlos Duarte Costa after excommunication, which itself scores a princely 173 Google hits in English and about twice that in its native language; this does not appear to be an organisation of any real significance, as evidence the redlink for the church in the founder's own article. Absent any indication of numbers, I'd say that anythign beyond a stub is likely to be functionally unverifiable from neutral sources. Just zis  Guy, you know?

Michael Sharp

Non-notable author. Article created by same author as Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Book of Light

oh come on. Is there a law against doing that? Author is notable judging by booksale ranking on amazon.com. It took me only a few minutes browing

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_books_by_title:_A to find books that don't sell as well.

author writes for several internet and print based magazines and is a regular media personality. Not famous like Oprah for sure but I see other author pages here with authors even less notable than this one. Certainly this author meets notability guideslines as defined under http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_%28people%29
  • Delete author of four books by a very minor publisher, with no indication of their criteria for seleciton (other than that submitted works conform to editorial POV, aka "the truth"), only one of which is even in the Library of Congress catalog, all of which are available free to download (which is vanishingly rare for any mainstream author). Zero evidence of an audience > 5000 per
    WP:BIO and much of what is written is unverifiable from neutral sources. So unless someone can cite me a profile from the New York Times literary section I say this is not so much an author as an evangelist who writes books. On the plus side, according to the author the books are "clear, concise, well written, and precise." It would be too tragic if he thought they were crap... - Just zis  Guy, you know?

The Awesome Community

Appears to be a small message board posted for improper promotion on WP; Google returns over 400 results but most appear to be to pages where the phrase appears, and not to this message board; the site itself does not have a listing of number of registered members, neverthless, unless some verification of importance can be found, this should be deleted as apparently non-notable Fuhghettaboutit 02:49, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This is a valid article clearly describing the history of the website and was not intended to be for promotional purposes. We don't see how it can not qualify as important enough, but would like some clarification on why it isn't important enough to keep.

The assertion that it is a valid article is begging the question. We are here to determine that very issue and we go by some standards that have evolved to try to separate what is wheat from what is chaff with regard to an encyclopedia. The main criterion is notability. For instance, on
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Precedents, under the category Internet, it is stated that "Communities, message boards and blogs are generally not notable." Some other criteria include whether a website at issue has over 5,000 members, and whether it has achieved a degree of fame through other outlets such as being featured in the media. Your community exists, the article may be brilliantly written, it may be factually correct, but what makes your community notable such that it deserves entry in an encyclopedia? That's what's at issue. Fuhghettaboutit 04:31, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply

  • Speedy keep - Claiming that alleged "copyright" on a trick means others cannot discuss it is a common trick by magicians hopin to keep their routines secret. It, however, has absolutely no basis in law and depends upon them tricking people who don't know better into erasing perfectly legitimate discussions and information. Copyright covers text, images, music, computer code, etc. but not magic tricks or other procedures. Procedures need a patent. Claiming "trade secret" is just using words that relate to patents without evidence of patents. Patents (assuming one would even be granted for something like this, which is highly doubtful) only prevent one from using the procedure oneself in business. By all intellectual property laws anyone and everyone can discuss how any magic tricks are done. Same thing happened on other websites (like the Straight Dope messageboard) with false threats but are ignored once any legal checking is done. Plumbers, for example, might wish to keep everyone in the dark about how to repair plumbing to protect their financial success, but they have no legal right to demand secrecy, same thing with stage magicians.

Web specific-content[3] is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria:
1. The content itself has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself.
  • This criterion excludes:
  • Media re-prints of press releases and advertising for the content or site.[4]
  • Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report the internet address, the times at which such content is updated or made available, a brief summary of the nature of the content or the publication of internet addresses and site or content descriptions in internet directories or online stores.
  • This criterion includes reliable published works in all forms, such as newspaper and magazine articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.[5]
2. The website or content has won a well known and independent award, either from a publication or organisation.[6]
3. The content is distributed via a site which is both well known and independent of the creators, either through an online newspaper or magazine, an online publisher, or an online broadcaster. [7]
The article itself must provide proofs that its subject meets one of these criteria via inlined links or a "Reference" or "External link" section.

Comment.
WP:CORP are not policy, they are guidelines. The Wikipedia community is not required to adhere to them as strictly as you seem to want. And while those guidelines aren't written in a way easily applicable to porn stars, Heather Harmon meets the tests of having a large fan base, selling over 5,000 copies of her movies, and everything in the article being verifiable.--ThreeAnswers 23:14, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply
]
To begin, I never claimed they were policy. As you correctly stated they are guidelines and should be given serious weight. I don't see how selling 5,000 copies of a porn video makes someone notable. That wouldn't get any other indepant film in unless it won an award. Did she win an award? The guidelines are derived from policy and community concensus. I agree that they may not always address the subject of internet porn very well and, as I suggested in my first comment, it may be worthwhile to find a community concensus for thier inclusion (i.e. WP:PORN). My biggest problem is that people have not even tried to establish why she merits inclusion beyond arguements claiming personal knowlege of the website, which is not consistant with
WP:CITE (you are, of course the exception to that statement). Whilst I agree that guidelines need not be followed as strictly as rules, they cannot be completely ignored either. Movementarian (Talk) 04:24, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply
]
The 5,000 test is analogous to "Recording musicians who have sold more than 5,000 albums, CDs, or similar recordings" in
WP:BIO. I don't know about the prices of CDs and porn movies or the relative sizes of the two industries but that doesn't sound like a bad test to me. She was also a finalist for a KSEX radio Listener's Choice award in 2004 but didn't win.[10]--ThreeAnswers 05:07, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply

no, keep this. I see no difference between this article and, say, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive-aggressive or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reaction_formation.

If kept then needs to justify characterising this as female aggression. At present seems based on sexist stereotyping. States boys carry out a physical form of this and yet then includes physical aggression under definition for girls.


comment I believe the term was coined specifically to refer to the type of bullying that occurs in female relationships. Being a parent and having children, I know that girls bully differently than boys and I think that's what the article should try to capture. Its not necessarily sexist to point out existing differences in gender behaviour.Ginar 14:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Particle9 Productions, Ecru: the Butcher of Balis, Cimage book

Delete all three as self-promotion of non-notable comic book maker, title, and genre. Contribution history of author, User:Particle9, clearly indicates that this is all self-advertising, not independent reporting.[11] 35 google hits for "particle9 productions", which all appear to be self-promotion as well. No Alexa traffic info for their professional site.

The only title published by Particle 9 is Ecru: the Butcher of Balis, which a little googling revealed is limited to a non-notable print run of 2,000. ecru + "the butcher of balis" gets 11 google hits.

Cimage book is also advertising, as this is a term that Particle9 invented for its work to make it sound unique, when the given definition describes most modern comic books ("an illustrated film in comic book format that is neither comical or satirical"). 0 google hits for "cimage book."

  • Delete. The sibling articles on people who self-identify as GLB seem fine in principle (some editors have been trying to cleanup citations, but it's doable with work). But anyone is trivially "debatably" GLB; there's nothing except
    original research to decide which debates are plausible, and which merely, well, debatable. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 06:33, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  1. There are a significant number of people for whom an ongoing debate about their sexuality is a pretty central part of understanding their historical and cultural context. William Shakespeare, for example, wrote a large number of love sonnets addressed to other males; it's impossible to understand his context without at least acknowledging that an unresolved debate about the deeper meaning of that fact exists.
  2. There are even a significant number of people (e.g. Morrissey, Marilyn Manson, David Bowie) who've deliberately cultivated a sense of sexual ambiguity as part of their marketing strategy. In Morrissey's case, particularly, the debate isn't just a part of his cultural context as with Shakespeare — to a very large extent, that sexual ambiguity is the cultural context of his work, and divorcing him from that context would be entirely wrong. (And yes, Bowie later recanted and therefore shouldn't be listed as "debated", but that doesn't change the fact that an ambiguous sexual presentation was part of his public persona at one time.)
  3. It is not original research to report on the existence of a debate that's already been placed in the public sphere by other people outside of Wikipedia, so characterizing this as OR is a misrepresentation.
  4. Deleting this list actually increases the likelihood of people being inappropriately added to the "confirmed" lists. We already have an ongoing problem with people being listed as confirmed GLBT based on circumstantial evidence, even with this list available — without this list that problem will become even more uncontrollable.
My bottom line, basically, is that I don't see why this needs to be held to different standards than the confirmed list: names listed should provide some support, either in the article itself or through listed sources, that a debate about the person's sexual orientation legitimately exists in the public sphere, and otherwise a name shouldn't be listed at all. If that standard is properly met, however, I don't see why this can't be a keep. Bearcat 22:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
FWIW, I definitely see Bearcat's point. In the examples he names, there's something notable about their sexuality being "debated". There are a couple reasons this doesn't quite persuade me to change my vote though:
  1. Given that just what is notable in each debate varies widely, do we really lose anything in having these discussions only in the subject articles? I definitely think it's worth mentioning that
    WP:V
    on this fact). If the list had meaningful annotations about exactly what the nature of the "debate" is in each case, I might be more sympathetic; but it doesn't, and I'm not up to the huge effort of making it so personally.
  2. The quality of the list as it stands is absolutely terrible. Names are added almost at random, or on "a friend-of-a-friend told me" basis. Not to say that some of the same problem hasn't applied to the "confirmed" lists; but we've made a good start at improving the quality of those others (and cites are more straightforward: e.g. the person really said something to so-and-so newspaper). But this "debated" one seems even more gossipy, and more or less certain to stay there if it is kept. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 23:21, 19 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hi,

I recently started the page on William L. Ury and would like to request it be deleted. The reason is privacy concerns. I may add it back later with different content, but respectfully request that the article I started be deleted.

Thank you very much for your consideration.

    • Its not a dicdef. After a little googling, it quickly became appearant that "silent keyboard" isn't a term that stands on its own to be defined. That is, it is merely the word keyboard with the adjective silent in front. I had a hard time finding "silent keyboards" as a recognized type of keyboard at all. Many sites advertised keyboards that are silent, but also added on other adjectives like "waterproof", "rugged", "portable", or "bendable". (As an aside 'silent keyboard' has 714 Google hits as 'waterproof keyboard' has 23,800.) Because "silent keyboards" are not recognized as a standalone species of keyboard, I feel that makes this article unencyclopedic. -- ShinmaWa(talk) 16:12, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is another credit mentioned on the messageboard I posted before that I missed, Hark!, which is described as off-broadway. Someone also found a ticket stub for The Tap Dance Kid which says:
"ROBERT LORICK (lyricist) makes his Broadway debut with The Tap Dance Kid. Cited for Best Lyricist honors in the Variety Critic's Poll for the Off-Broadway musical Hark!, Mr. Lorick is known to radio listeners as Jack Flanders, adventurer. "
A couple of the songs from The Tap Dance Kid have featured on compilations and songbooks. These two shows on their own might not constitute notability for a lyricist, but the fact that he also plays the title character in a radio series that gets 24,900 hits makes me think the article is probably interesting for enough people to be worth keeping. I'm going to have to go with Keep, partly because of the apparent number of Jack Flanders/ZBS enthusiasts, but also because this is one of the only articles on the web that identifies Lorick as both the radio character and the lyricist. - N (talk) 17:05, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Promotional. Article was created in response to promotion on the Web forum it describes [16], "as a matter of pride" per the writer who started the article [17]. The forum owner then advocated creation of this article [18], and suggested he could use it as a hand-out at one of his many professional presentations in which he promotes his model of on-line mental-health-care delivery [19]. Forum members allude to one recent reference to their forum in the New York Times, but otherwise, most published references and public presentations about this forum have been authored or led by the forum owner. The psychiatrist who owns the forum has reverted numerous edits [20], including edits that expose the declining usage of his forum [21]. While obfuscating actual usage data [22] the forum owner has entered erroneous information in the article [23], has responded on the talk page demanding a reference to a statement he forgot or refused to acknowledge from his own promotional writing about his site in a professional journal [24] and has complained about criticisms that characterize his editorial involvement as vanity editing [25]. A member of the forum also entered false information [26] and blanked most of the article when it didn't suit his preferences[27][28] [29][30][31][32][33]. Excluding Google hits that link to the researcher's vast archives of his forum members' posts, few other sites link to this forum. Some therapists discourage their clients from visiting Robert Hsiung's forums [34]; perhaps a therapist's couch -- not Wikipedia -- is the appropriate place to discuss the merits of this forum. This article demonstrates the difficulty of trying to maintain an open-source encylopedic article about Internet forums where members can persistently mobilize to effect content of the article about their forum. Though most of the content was contributed by forum members and by the psychiatrist who owns the forum, a member of the forum continues to argue here against independent edits, claiming contributions from independent editors dominate the article. Regular Wikipedia editors have better things to do than persistently reviewing, mediating and arbitrating controversies that inevitably arise from promotional efforts such as this article. I have better things to do than trying to balance promotional articles about a psychiatrist's experimental on-line therapeutic models. Please delete. ProveReader 20:54, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed, it appears that the site [35] remains the 2nd most visited mental health site. We unfortunately cannot delete articles when editors behave immaturely. The wikipedia process is such that we believe such problems can be solved by other means.

Comment The content you cite was contributed by a member of the forum the article describes[36], but it is not correct. Compare the citation you linked ostensibly verifying the forum as the second most-popular mental health site with the actual Alexa pages for most popular mental health sites [37] and for the top 10 mental health self-help sites [38]. Psycho-Babble is not among the top 10 mental-health self-help support groups [39], nor among the top 10 support groups [40]. The category among which Psycho-Babble was ranked second includes only 20 other sites [41]. Ranked among the broader group of 53 mental-health support groups that include "stress" the forum falls to third[42]. Among 401 listed health support groups, Psycho-Babble ranks 8th, but with an overall traffic rank of 86,486th, it falls far behind the leader, which is the National Institute for Diabetes and Kidney Disease site, which is not the topic of a Wikipedia article. The site is not ranked along with self-help groups, or self-help support groups, perhaps because it is administered by a medical doctor. The top mental health self-help support group outranks dr-bob.org/babble 11,406:86,486, and outranks by 11,406:24,164 the top site in the category of 20 sites in which dr-bob.org/babble ranks second. I suspect none of the more notable mental health, self-help or support sites listed by Alexa is the topic of a Wikipedia article.
I'll again correct the article to reflect the fact that the site is second among a narrow group of 20 sites, but my continued concern for the article's accuracy does not temper my strong vote for its deletion. The most popular mental health sites are associated with well-known organizations, such as that of the American Psychological Association. The 10th most popular mental health site, with a rank of 27,689, far outranks Psycho-Babble, today at 86,486th. A member of Robert Hsiung's forum selected its standing in a subset that comprises less than 1 percent of the sites listed in Alexa's mental health category and represented it as among the most visited of all mental health sites. Unless Wikipedia plans to include non-vanity, NPOV articles about the 100,000 most visited Web sites that use the Alexa toolbar, Psycho-Babble fails to rise to a level of notability except among a minor category in which many similar sites do not seek to be listed. Second among 20 hardly comprises notability, though inclusion of the claim to suggest second-among-5710 offers notable evidence of promotional editing contrary to facts.

Comment More statistics: Google Groups search for - support groups: 4,380,000 results [48] - health support groups: 597,000 results [49] - mental health support groups: 124,000 results [50]; Alexa search for health support groups in Health directory: 222,515 results [51], Alexa Health Directory search for AOL support groups: 2,514 results [52], Alexa Health Directory search for AOL mental health support groups: 1,850 results [53] Alexa health directory search for Yahoo support groups: 1,589 results [54], Health Support Groups listed at Yahoo Groups: 30,107 [55], Groups discussing specific mental health disorders listed at Yahoo Groups: 2,508 [56]. Only those sites whose administrators register for traffic monitoring as health support groups are included among the 401 Alexa-ranked health-support-groups category, which does not include many similar support groups specifically listed for Alexa ranking [57][58]. Total registered screen names is neither a measure of active membership, nor a reliable basis for comparison with similar sites. His forum members often acknowledge registering new screen names. At least 2,430 of the registered screen names may have never posted, and another 2,953 have not posted since he implemented an informed consent procedure in 2001. [59]. The availability of archives effects search engine results. AOL and Yahoo have long hosted many non-archived support groups. Usenet, established 26 years ago, is home to numerous long-standing on-line support communities. Dr. Hsiung is not recognized as a published expert in on-line support group history. A recognized author for the University College London Center for Health Informatics says on-line support groups have at least a 24-year history, lists some non-qualititive support group directories and says directory placement is an incomplete, user-defined means of ranking groups [60]. We have no data to show that few on-line communities are as old as dr-bob.org/babble, but plenty of anecdotal evidence to suggest otherwise. ProveReader 18:44, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Narcissism and schizoid disorders

I originally suggested that, after substantiation of the contents (which was unclear at that time) portions of this article be merged into two seperate articles Narcissism, Schizoid personality disorder and perhaps a third Schizophrenia. Partly because to create articles linking topics covered seperately by existing articles seems excessive.

However, I cannot seem to verify any of the information in this article as it relates to the topic, beyond the original hypothosis (nothing wrong with that, but not in wikipedia) of

Narcissism and schizoid disorders
remains to be established.

So, I suggest that this article be deleted --Zeraeph 12:36, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Thought I'd better say that I have tried to verify statements specifically relevant to
Narcissism and schizoid disorders attributed to Klein, Freud et al and cannot find a trace of them anywhere. I can't verify the reference to Narcissism and Schizophrenia, but even if I could it doesn't belong here (The relationship between schizoid and schizophrenia is purely semantic). There are verifiable statements concerning Narcissism, verifiable statements concerning schizoid, but not a single verifiable statement connecting the two. It is that connection (the title of the article) that would appear to be original research --Zeraeph 10:14, 17 January 2006 (UTC)[reply

Productivism

This is a concept so fringe it's non-encyclopedic. Googling for it gets a whole load of Wikipedia mirrors, a few comment pieces which have it in 'inverted commas', and some legit mentions of it in an agricltural context. We might, just, be able to have it in an agricultural sense, but I would prefer a delete. The Land 14:49, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jimbo Wales - 'fame' and 'importance' are not the right words to use, they are merely rough approximations to what we're really interested in....Consider an obscure scientific concept, 'Qubit Field Theory' -- 24 hits on google. I'd say that not more than a few thousand people in the world have heard of it, and not more than a few dozen understand it. (I certainly don't.) It is not famous and it is arguably not important, but I think that no one would serious question that it is valid material for an encyclopedia.

Also, a search on google that combines "productivism" with its major critic Amartya San gives several page hits on the concept

http://www.google.com/search?q=Productivism+Amartya+Sen+&client=netscape-pp&rls=com.netscape:en-US

    • Well, it seems to mainly come up with documents where Amartya Sen is present, but 'productivisim' is hard to find: except of course for the Wikipedia mirrors, of which there are many. I'd suggest that most of the article we have is a synthesis of occasional uses, for which there is no clear definition. The article constitutes original research and the best way to deal with the concept is in a a note or two in some other articles. The Land 15:34, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps a tag asking for sourcess should be added.

If you go beyond the first couple of pages in google, you can actually find the term used copiously. I have traced it to Christopher Lasch and Anthony Giddens

and this essay

http://www.aare.edu.au/97pap/blacj494.htm

cites this book

Giddens, A. (1995) Beyond Left and Right: The future of radical politics. Polity Press.

as a source of the concept.

in fact, a google search pairing Giddens with Productivism http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=com.netscape%3Aen-US&q=anthony+giddens+productivism&btnG=Search leads to a lot of google references. *bingo*

For me this really raises the issue of the limitation of using google as a test. All the WIKI entries percolate up to the top leaving the legitimate sources buried. I think we have to be careful.

That is, this concept seems to be obscure only to googleGinar 23:53, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

that's not what's happening here. This isn't trying to explain the meaning of life, its pointing to a common sociological term used to describe a very specific economic perspective (i.e., productivism) This entry explains the concept relatively well I think and all we need to do is find an appropriate source. I think it will be easy to find some material by giddens to save this one so KEEP I can't do it now but I will clean this article up and find an appropriate source for it in the next day or two.

Obviously, its now verified. and what is OR?? See look [61] here's another verification and here's a course syllabus where the term appears multile times [62]. In the syllabus its even assocaited with green politics as it is in the wiki article. Now please, doesn't this mean the article requires cleanup and citation and not deletion?[reply]

Thank you JzG for the clarification. However, I believe this article has already been throught the verifiable] test and reliable source test. This discusion should be happening on the talk page. Any further reference to verifiable should be put there. Apparently the GUG still exists and has joined the internationally renowned APCUG. This nomination is pure deletionism and abuse of the wikipedia deletion system. I sugest that voting be clearly explained. why is this subject "obscure"?
Pure deletionism? The club has demonstrated no notability outside its own sphere, meaning the high school. The fact that it is a "chapter" of some umbrella user group organization does not make it more inherently notable. It should be merged to the high school, where it has context and impact. I note that on the talk page, the nominator is being threatened with an RfC over this issue. Pure frivolity. "Garneau User Group" gets 73 Google hits and should be merged.

The issue of Neutrality's conduct is being discussed on the talk page and doesn't really have much to do now with this process. If he fails to answer and deletes one more users request for comment on his user page, I will be obliged to follow through with that RFC. Now it is perhaps understable that notability may be at issue. I did a search on google and only came up with about 20 some hits in french. I think it doesn't realy mater but if you want to waste your time on that (googling) did you try the french version too? Groupe d'utilisateurs Garneau. So back to the question, what makes this subject "obscure?" (aside from the lack of Google ability) I mean this is a mostly a french language run club. Did you also check the links at the bottom of our article (sources). The information is verifiable. --CyclePat 21:13, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
comment:Can you imagine! There is a deletion nomination that is currently happening for this page
WP:N (reasons for not deleting this article), I must, on my first impression, agree that it makes sense to merge with the High school. I however am flabbergasted and disagreeing on the fundamental principal behind the nomination. The nominee has failed to follow procedure. What I mean by that is, I believe that there are other processes he could have used. For example: Instead of going directly to a deletion he could have put a merger request or even an information validity... I would have probably happilly gone along and merged the articles. Secondly why is this article, "obscure?" (The thing is we really don't know). I've attempted to contact user:Neutrality on 2 occasions and he has totally ignored my requests. Is this normal? On both times he has even reverted his talk page. (For supporting evidence see section 1 of User:CyclePat\building a case for RFC). This issue is being discussed a little more in detail at talk:Garneau user group however your feedback, and knowledge of wiki, would be appreciated. All this to say, deletion reform is necessary, and lets not allow such actions to go on without repercusions. Please, I ask, can anyone ask user:Neutrality the questions I have asked. --CyclePat 06:04, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply

Thank you. But, I'm not sure if I'll need this page, from the article, to demonstrate part of my argument. The reason being it demonstrates one of the possibilities he could have done instead? Again, I'm not sure. I guess I could always request undelete later on if really necessary (That's if we do delete this page. It appears like we might be merging. But don't we delete the page after merging anyway... or should we redirect?) --CyclePat 16:00, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Actually, once a merge is done, we can't delete in order to keep the GFDL-required attribution history. A redirect is put in place, but the old contents are kept in history. Merge is quite different then delete, and this article is doing better then most such clubs, which would simply be deleted. --Rob 16:44, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Easy bit first: that information which is verifiable from reliable external sources should be summarised in
    cite the sources
    although if it's trivially easy to verify the information a comment on the talk page is probably sufficient.
Technically the GFDL forbids deleting of merged content; that depends I guess on whether it is merged or summarised from a review of those reliable sources which can be found (if it's summarised from sources, arguably the GFDL restriction does not apply; also if the original editors enter the new, slimmed-down, verified content the rstriction may not apply - it's a grey area in my view, but Uncle G will know the formally correct answer).
Now to the issue you have with
WP:BAI. Neutrality states on his Talk page that he does not get involved in minor disputes - and he's not getting involved in this one either. You now know what the score is with respect to this particular AfD, so you have the information you wanted, and I would suggest that should be enough. His lack of response could be construed as "why the hell shouldn't I nominate it?" - and given precedent, there is no reason why not. - Just zis  Guy, you know?

Not sure if this meets the cirteria for inclusion or not. Mostly because I'm not sure what amount of motability is conveyed with being a "liard". If anything it's a stub.

Laird is a Scots title meaning "lord" in the sense of "landowner" - it's not a title of nobility, nor does it essentially assert any importance beyond that they had fifty quid to spare. You can easily find somewhere on the web which will sell you a square foot of land in the Highlands, allowing you to call yourself Laird of Somewhere... and, indeed, the Laird of Glencairn is currently a prolifically-retailed "title". (I know someone who got one for Christmas...). Bio, no real assertion of notability - he's someone wealthy, probably under 30, who hasn't done much if anything - so probably speedy-deletable. Otherwise, delete

Beer bogganing

I see no factual reason for keeping this, but I am unsure if it would pass under CSD G1. Ian13ID:540053 15:42, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • What exactly is CSD G1 and why do you people keep trying to delete my article, which, believe it or not, is completely factual. Some little kid in Bulgaria doing a school report on Beer bogganing is cursing your names because you have denied him the knowledge he needs because of your overzealousness.

  • Hello? Are you not hearing me? Beer bogganing is not "made up". It is an actual tradition. Know anyone between the ages of 13 and 22 who lives in southern Canada? Call them, and ask them. Maybe you'll take their word over mine. I find it offensive and rude that you would question something that I've posted in this manner.
  • Another thing, look at these links: http://high-fructose-corn-syrup.blogspot.com/2005/12/beer-bogganing.html

    Just sledding and drinking at the same time? Isn't that a bit like saying that a lasagna is the same as eggs noodles and tomato sauce? By saying that, you're insulting a Canadian tradition. That's called racism. Had I posted anything so foul as what you have been saying about my beliefs and traditions in one of my articles, I'd have been banned.

    • But it's nothing more than a hobby. It has no notability outside of some small parts of rural Canada. --King of All the Franks 16:19, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • To be fair I've heard of it and I'm in England. Maybe not exactly matching the description in the article but something quite similar. However, I have no idea how notable it is so I won't be voting until I see more factual evidence about it's notablity but I think it is notable in some places.

  • I will admit that I am the one who posted the article, and I had to create this second account because admin "Borg Queen" banned me because of what I guess she thought was my "overzealous" defence of the article. "Can this be referenced in a sociological study of Canadian teenage practises?" see http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=beer+bogganing I don't think you need much more proof. (And I did not create this second account out of any malicious intent, I merely want my point to be heard. The practice is verifiable, and I did not create the term. Nor is it "unimportant", any more so than enything else on Wikipedia, that is.)

    And- in response to Tearlach's earlier comment- "has it been documented in any reputable publication? No." I think you are forgetting that anti-elitism is one of the cornerstones of Wikipedia. If the only things in Wikipedia were things that had been documented in a "reputable publication", it would just be a lacklustre copy of the Encyclopedia Britannica. Wikipedia is about evolving and constantly changing. Everything has to start being "documented" somewhere, you know what I mean? In this way, your comment is fundamentally flawed in terms of Wikipedia's mission and goals.

    And krispymann? I'm sorry but your statement was very foolish. "OFFENSIVE! Wikipedia is not here to promote or define destructive actions or decisions, no matter how traditional. " Does this mean the extensive Wikipedia article on hanging promotes capital punishment?

    • Comment. The reference you've provided is to the Urban Dictionary, which describes itself as: "a slang dictionary with your definitions. Define your world." Frankly, you could have added this definition (are you in fact Greg Wester?); this isn't a good enough citation, especially as it seems to be the only one available.
      As for your new account, I've blocked it indefinitely; you may not create new accounts in order to evade editing blocks. If you think that the block is inappropriate or unfair, contact the person who blocked you or another admin. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 10:30, 16 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As for your erroneous belief that Wikipedia should document things even if they are not documented elsewhere, I suggest looking at Wikipedia's actual mission and goals, starting with our Wikipedia:Verifiability and Wikipedia:No original research official policies.

The article gives no cites for usage and I searched using Google and could not find any significant usage of the term. Although it has a "What does it mean" section, the article doesn't even actually ever say what the term means, only what it doesn't. The article has a significant edit history, but much of it is from anons, and the one non anon user, Otware (User talk:Otware

Democratic peace theory (Statistical studies supporting the DPT)

This topic is inherently PoV; furthermore, this text does not discuss the studies but is a defense of one particular DPT. By the time the PoV is eliminated and the statistically doubtful claims removed, there will be very little article left, and that little redundant with the main article on Democratic peace theory.

Comment I would suggest that the a better alternative would be to mark this as possibly not neutral and then attempt to insert are more NPOV view. I was the person who called for this article's creation as I felt the main DPT article was being swamped by the statistical studies section. I am far from an expert on the subject, so I don't feel that I am able to comment on its neutrality, but bias is not a basis for deletion.

There are 40,000 records in the Guinness Book of World Records. Which ones are "notable" and which ones aren't? Surely we're not going to list them all.

  • keep I vote 'keep' because singing the lowest ever recorded note for a human is similar to records for being tallest or most massive, but different from records such as making the largest pancake or longest continuous juggling, because it is directly related to a single physical characteristic shared by all normally functioning humans. If Wikipedia wants to make a distinction as to which record holders are worth including, this seems like a good option. (I wrote a large part of the text for the Acappella (group) article, but I had no idea who Tim Storms was before I clicked the link to his name because I am not a fan of his era of the group, and thus do not feel that I am biased because of it).

    • Question As Tim Storms' record is mentioned at

Lowest voice: Tim Storms (formerly of singing ensemble Acappella)
is a separate page appropriate? Incidentally, I'd say your having written part of the Acappella article doesn't affect at all the merit of your argument -- Your argument doesn't even mention the group, so I don't see how it could at all be biased by it -- though hey, cheers to full disclosure. .

This is - or can be - covered in detail on the Bashkir language page. There may also be issues relating to the name of the article doktorb | words 17:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I apologize if I'm putting this in the wrong place, but we are trying to have all of the non-Slavic Cyrillic letters covered in the same detail as the Slavic ones. The Bashkir language page only states that it uses a modified version of the Russian alphabet, and that it contains several letters like this one. I don't have very much to contribute at the moment, since I don't speak Bashkir (and it doesn't seem like many Wikipedians do, judging from the 24-article Bashkir Wikipedia). As for the name of the article, usually I try to assign it its name, like the other Cyrillic letters (A, Be, Ve, Ge, etc), but I don't know what Bashkirs, or anyone, calls this letter, and it's not in my Character Map. Waynem|talk 17:57, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, for paralellity with other letter-articles (not just Cyrillic but also Greek and others), but move to a descriptive name. You can take the character name used in the Unicode database, perhaps?. The article needs to be expanded with linguistic information, of course, but leave it as a stub for the moment.

The Circus Card Trick

Delete. Not-notable card trick with arbitrary title. We don't need an article for every slight/illusion in which a magician locates a spectator's card. The "key" or "locator" method (by which the trick is accomplished) is used in countless tricks. -- Krash 17:52, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Merge into new article, perhaps Key card (card trick) or some similar title?... and then redirect, because I agree with nom that we don't need an article for every Key card variant. One article that had lots of the presentations as sections might be a much better article. (Reading The Cards might be another candidate article to merge/redirect?) Key card is an important mechanic and deserves an article, along with forcing... That said I wonder if this should have been AfDed, if instead merging should have just been carried out? ++Lar: t/c 19:50, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • I agree with you to a point. "Key card" is listed at
      Card magic would be better. I don't agree with mentioning the specific trick anywhere (or even keeping the page) because the name of the trick is arbitrary; most magicians wouldn't know what "The Circus Card Trick" is since names of card tricks aren't really standardized. -- Krash 20:06, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply

Delete. Does not conform to Wikipedia's inclusion of biographies. [67] DantheMan 20:42, 10 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Very weak keep because I think his contributions to Adult Video News would, in fact, qualify him for
    WP:BIO. His notability in terms of name recognition appears to be pretty low, but unless there's something to tell me that AVN doesn't reach a 5000+ circulation, keep seems to be the fairest vote. EDIT: After reading the talk page for the article, being mentioned in Salon as well as a source for published books seems to reach levels of notability that I can't disagree with.

Whats wrong? Ben Burch, by his own statements attests that he is not notable. He just doesn’t fit the bill for those important enough to be listed in a encyclopedia. Given his accomplishments to-date will he be remembered in 100 years? What about another benchmark... if I asked 10,000 people on the street who "Ben Burch" was, would any of them know anything?

You're right. Burch is pretty much an unknown outside a small group of people. I would guess that most on DU and the opposing website CU know about him and his website. There is a minority that have heard of him on FR. However, one of the criteria to determine whether to keep an article or not is whether they contribute regularly in a publication that reaches 5000+ individuals. I would argue that that number is too low, but AVN's circulation number of 40,000 and that he contributes monthly qualifies him.--WinOne4TheGipper 22:08, 11 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Karol Bancerz

It's probably autobiography. If not, he is not a notable person. Visor 20:25, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete A claim for notability is required. Perhaps he wrote some influential articles or sponsored well-known journalists? If so, these should be cited as evidence.  (aeropagitica)  21:26, 15 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • As it has been written in article, Karol "is the editor-in-chief of Slowa w sieci". This vortal [69] is ranked as 5,189,306 in Alexa [70]. Almost all references to his name in Google [71] are mentions that he is editor-in-chief of "Slowa w sieci" vortal (some websites includes his articles) [72], [73], [74], [75], [76], or forum posts with his name in signature [77], or accounts at other websites [78]. He is responsible for promoting "Złote Myśli" [79] commercial ebooks [80], for graphic design of Klukowo.pl [81]. He also wrote some articles for web services, such as "Jak to jest z Ludzką Pamięcią?" [82] (article about his experiences in memory techniques). Rest of Google web search results come from Wikipedia mirrors. So, in my opinion, he is definitively not a notable person. Visor 16:32, 18 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sigh. If we must do this yet again. Encyclopedic: Of, relating to, or characteristic of an encyclopedia. That's not that confusing. An encyclopedia's job is not to provide users with acess to "all the information they would hope for". Speculation about the next Pokemon, day-by-day acounts of the size of Katie's baby bump, who's gotten bone-thin this week: the ephemera we do not include is almost endless. Every time we do include a sterling example of fugacious nonsense like this, it crowds out real information (you know, like art and calculus and democracy) in several ways:
  1. It takes up a small but real portion of disk space. That actually costs money. We have fundraising to pay for things like new servers in part because articles take up space.
  2. It takes up a small but real portion of people's time. The "don't like it? don't look at it." argument is completely fallicious. Shall I somehow expunge this article from my recent changes list? How then will it be kept free of vandalism and innacuracy? Leading to...
  3. It erodes in some small way our reputation. Little crufty corners can get ignored, and that's actually a
    WP:V
    it means that any real information we give to our users will have just a little bit less value.
Delete the crap, the unsourced, the trivial, the mundane. Let us cease the endless bickering and how we cling like drowning men to these tiny articles of little utility, and concentrate on doing something meaningful instead.

This project job's is to provide every human being with all the knowledge they would wish for. As the encylopedic branch of the project, wikipedia's job is to provide the portion of that information that fits inside an encyclopedia of some sort. The amount of money that the storage of homerunner pages costs is probably about a cent per decade and falling. The time it takes up on 'recent changes' is outweighed by the time Homestar Runner contributors would give back to wikipedia, if their work wasn't being destroyed. I find it hard to believe that USA Today or Nature magazine would run a headline story saying "Wikipedia gets Homestar Runner character wrong", I kinda think they are more likely to be interested in more significant topics. What you consider crap, trivial or mundane may be the most important thing to some users, for example my favorite band doesn't pass

I'm turning this into a mass nomination for all the articles related to this uncreated comic. This includes (but may not be limited to);
Several of these articles are marked as copyright to the owner, and so may violate the GFDL (I'm no lawyer).
