Azythia, Idaho

Almost certainly a hoax. PROD tag was removed so it's afd time. I can't find literally anything on Google about this town, the image claiming to locate it is actually for another town. If it existed as a town, CDP or even properly a local neighborhood or unofficial place, trust me, there'd be something on the internet about it, even if just a gazateer mention with coordinates. The creator left some messages on my talk page, draw your own conclusion [1]. Amusing prank/joke to a point, but the article needs to go. W.marsh 23:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chesapeake Tide

Non notable. An article about a something that is schedule to exist in 2007. Abu Badali 00:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete No claim to notability. Captainj 00:28, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not notable, yet. Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball.--Andeh 00:49, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • On the whole, I don't agree with deleting articles for teams that have yet to start play, because I would contend that existing in a recognized league is enough for notability. However, not only is the league that this team would be playing in not big enough to guarantee notability, their website is under construction, and the page for the league says that a press conference is "TBA". Delete. --fuzzy510 01:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep This isn't a crystal ball article. It covers documented and verifiable facts as they exist today for an expansion team of a minor professional football league. I can, however, understand the argument that perhaps this league isn't terribly notable, but I think there is enough coverage of it to say otherwise [2].

  • Keep notable enough. Not blatant crystal ballage. I think a team scheduled to begin play in a minor progessional league is notable enough -- Samir धर्म 01:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Well, this is the whole point of the discussion. I strogly disagree with you. It's not notable at all. --Abu Badali 17:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Just because the article is worded poorly means nothing. The league is there, the team is verifiabile as the league, etc. --badlydrawnjeff talk 02:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: Being worded poorly is not a problem. This is a wiki. We can just go there and fix it. The verifiability of the information is not in question. The notability is. --Abu Badali 17:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It seems to be a real team who are actually starting play in 2007. Just because it's in the future doesn't mean it should be automatically deleted, heck there is already an article for the next presidential election in the US (and the following one I think).

  • As I've looked it over, I've changed my opinion to keep. The precedent has been set for plenty of smaller-league teams that haven't begun play yet to have articles once they were announced, and we should stay consistent. --fuzzy510 20:51, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep, though not a particularly good article. Sarge Baldy 23:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Keep, from all Google news, only two hits (this being the most notable) about this team. However, the proximity of the new season (6 months, I would guess), makes it fit inside the exceptions listed in
    the first crystal ball clause. -- ReyBrujo 23:54, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

  • Keep - the entries for all the teams in this league could use rewrites I grant. That said, if the entry for the nearby planned Southern Maryland Blue Crabs minor league baseball team can stay up without objection, this entry should stay up too. EvWill 01:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Satisfies "crystal ball" requirement: "if the event is notable and almost certain to take place." Notability is of concern, but is substantial minor league team and deserves benefit of the doubt for now. —

  • Keep per WCityMike. OhNoitsJamieTalk 00:39, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I don't believe any of this "notability" bullsh*t. I believe Wikipedia is not paper. By your logic, the GLIFL page should be deleted. The expansion team is as notable as the league. Plus, when they have a press conference on June 21, it's gonna be really hard to do a page if the article is deleted. Just my thoughts M. Burmy 11:16 CDT 5 June 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Since the Gazette newspapers have already reported the team as having been awarded by the league and the league's website reports the team as being awarded to the owner, it's a real team. If the league or the team fold tomorrow, then you can consider deleting it, but right now, it's valid. Sarzonia 20:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here is what we know about the page (from

WP:PNT
):

It's Arabic. I have no idea what it is about though. I think the title transliterates as "Sanâbal Al-mahabi" --Ķĩřβȳ♥ŤįɱéØ 23:26, 23 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't quite understand why this page has to go to AfD before spending the standard two week grace period at Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English, though. Kusma (討論) 00:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The task force supports the idea of hiding love openness to the rest of the difference. Brilliant! --LambiamTalk 17:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Okay Policy is too strong a word, but the translation template gives the article two weeks so deleting it before seems unfair. Ben W Bell talk 21:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - rough translation on the page now - definately not notable and probable copyvio from [sanabelz.com/ ]- Peripitus 00:37, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
So it's a Catholic elementary school or something of the sort? Then I say delete, although it would have been nice to let this go through the full process before having this discussion.

  • I'd say no, it would end up on AfD under the English title as well. Did some more research, I agree with Peripitus, probable copyvio. The Arabic text is a cut and paste from here, the title of the text on that site, "تاريــــــخ الــفــــرقــــــــــة" = "history of the group (team, outfit, etc.)" and is a posting on the online forum on the site. --Easter Monkey 01:33, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Results

Appears to be a non-notable advocacy group and/or book. By the way, something else very important: what links to this article. Obviously, if this AfD succeeds, all these will need to be delinked. Well, actually, all these links need to be delinked either way, as the links are completely irrelevant. By the way, I'm of the opinion that all these "<sport> at the <year> Olympics" articles need better leads and better lead formatting. TheProject 01:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I fully agree with your analysis. I have sayed on irc (but you have quitted) that must be a new form of spamming whose created alongside the spam many links to it mainly to render burdensome the speedy deleting. Something similiar to the WoW modus operandi, but IMHO more nasty. I'm really worried.... dott.Piergiorgio 01:15, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It looks like many of the links were adding by the same editor, but some were added before. I think that he was just standardizing the titles. -- Kjkolb 02:00, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, I don't think this is spam. It's just very strange -- the articles seem all to have copied each other. Either that or there's some sort of boilerplate text for Olympic results that I don't know about.
By the way, the article's now been replaced with a dicdef. Still doesn't belong on Wikipedia, if you ask me, because Wiktionary already has a good definition. TheProject 02:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak Delete, the organization seems to be somewhat notable per their press releases, however with that information I cannot decide. I am willing to change my vote if someone gives me a valid link. The article cannot stay in Wikipedia as the definition of the word result, that is for Wiktionary. -- ReyBrujo 00:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Actually, if you check the article history, before it was a non-notable organization it was a non-notable book. Now it's a dicdef. Based on what I can see, none of them deserve to be kept. Fan1967 01:22, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fan Soundtrack

Article in its entirety: "Fan Soundtracks (FSTs) are fan created track listings/song mixes for a particular show/book/movie/character/etc. Often the 10 to 20 tracks feature a range of artists. Most FSTs have some sort of central theme that all the songs within them help to convey." Unencyclopedic, unsourced and non-notable, not to mention most likely original research. I'm not saying that the concept doesn't exist, because I know it does, but I don't think it's significant, and most importantly I don't think that this article can be written without resorting to OR. -- Captain Disdain 02:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Very weak keep This article is pretty lame but, given time, someone may be able to improve it. The Fan-track and Fan-soundtrack fad seems to be somewhat different from mere mix tapes but you'd never be able to tell from this article. Ande B. 03:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak keep Googling this term returns a lot of results for the soundtrack to the movies "The Fan" and "Swim Fan," but there are scattered results indicating that this is a real phenomenon. The article needs to be sourced, expanded, explain its importance, and generally be improved, but I think it's a valid topic. --Hyperbole 08:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Raq n staxx

"Raq n’ Staxx is a fun drinking game started at the University of California Los Angeles that is quickly growing in popularity. The rules to raq n’ staxx are simple." No Google hits that I can find. Unsourced, probably quite unverifiable, most likely original research, a little crystal ballish in that it apparently assumes that it will gain popularity in the future, and rather obviously non-notable. -- Captain Disdain 02:13, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You do not encourage a User to have more contribution in wikipedia when you decide to delete an article only on the bases of your doubts (without having some solid evidence). This behavior will not benefit Wikipedia. If you are not 100% sure and have some doubts about an article then you can put a tag above the article (or give it some grace period of 3-6 months for expansion). Instead of delete it. Please be fair and be neutral. best wishes. ---

A proper google search for Global Reserve Bank gives only 32 hits and the ones coming from reputable websites are using the term in other contexts and/or hypothetically.

Commment Again, the same reasons can be given for deletion of many articles here, including many controversial subjects. Just because you find a particular topic personally offensive, does not mean it is worthy of deletion.
Comment: It's not that I find it offensive, it's just completely unworthy of being a good article. This is just one group, which has yet to prove its importance or notability. --Merovingian {T C @} 15:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Just to be clear, there are websites on the net about MGTOW. The fact they where not included in the article means that an edit is required so that it is on-par with the rest of Wikipeida's articles, not deletion. For instance the following is a link about the movement http://menforjustice.net/cms/ which should have been included in the article. --Thorsson 16:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment As I said, you need to go back and READ the deletion policy and notability before you clamor for something to be deleted! From the article:

It has been argued that lack of "notability" is not a criterion for deletion, because (among other things) this isn't specifically stated in the deletion policy; and since Wikipedia is not paper with (in theory) no size limits, there's no reason why Wikipedia shouldn't include "everything" that fits in with our other criteria, such as verifiability and no original research.

  • SAVE Edit rather than Deletion. The articles subject is part of the masculine, anti-feminist movement so I would consider it notable. Neutrality is a matter that can easily be rectified by an edit. As for citations there are websites out there about the movement, as I noted above, and an edit would once again rectify that problem. --Thorsson 16:34, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    Tell me, in what manner that is a personal attack? It is obvious that Yanksox is challenging the democratic nature of wikipedia, in which everyone is free to edit.

    That is fine, it is not up to you to decide when to censor everyone because you do not agree with what they have to say.

If it is a debate, then you should have no problem with letting everyone's voice be heard, in the intrest of fairness.

  • Comment I use the term ballot stuffing since all of these users clearly lack an understanding of AfD and believe that dropping in a "Save" vote will alter everything. I am only suggesting this for the help of the closing editor. With all these new users a very incohernet message is being devolped. Yanksox 17:18, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Comment Yes, apparently that "incoherrent" message is that the vast majority of the public wikipedia users see this article as having substantial merit.
    First, you are not a majority of Wikipedia users by any means. Second, most of the people who have asked that the article to be kept have had little or no interest in the Wikipedia community until they learned that this article was up for deletion. --Merovingian {T C @} 17:40, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Really, this is supposed to be a civilized discussion that involves no pointing of the finger. It started in your talk page.[9] and it's spreading here.

This debate is a clear example of the wonders and pitfalls inherent to modern communication. Claims of ballet stuffing, on the surface, appear valid. Indeed, as defined in Wiki policies and guidelines, that is exactly what is happening.

The problem is simply this. How can any organization, born of digital communications prove its existence outside of a traditional media outlet? What options are there, other than a ‘head count’, and the understandable allegations of ballet stuffing that comes with it?

I put forward a simple question, what would it take, in the eyes of editors and admin, to validate the existence of MGTOW(as it seems to be the issue). And what sort of time frame is available to do so? As the answers to these questions would raise others, I politely invite a response ( [email protected]) .Thank you. Osmod 19:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What would it take? Maybe some links to your site from other sites not affiliated with you. Maybe some media coverage. Maybe a book.

Warning, gentlemen... it may be amusing for you to organize a "Take-over-the-Wiki" movement at your forum, but it is completely unacceptable to blatantly insult people and ridicule them. Regardless of this debate, I encourage you to keep this conversation within the limits of respect and good taste. I also insist that personal pictures of Wikipedia editors are "not" meant to be posted anywhere but on Wiki itself, unless you are given proper permission - it's a simple question of good faith. And just FYI, I am "not" a "feminazi", as you have so graphically and kindly called me. Regards, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 20:31, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Funny you want to bring up what members of Niceguys forums are saying when you get together and say things such as calling us http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Phaedriel]Pathetic MGTOW morons Nice hypocrisy. Don't complain what is being down on a seperate forum and website when you are doing the same name calling. Another thing. I like how you call the whole forum and its members "MGTOW Morons" as if that forum is the only place where MGTOW is talked about, Discussed and followed as if its Just little ol' us. We are just the ones here at the moment. Shall we go spread it around to the rest of the sites and blog spheres and bring more people here? You see, Mgtow has already been at multiple anti-feminist websites and forums for the past year. ALl you need to do is take a look. Its been at Cooltools4men,Stand your ground, Mens news daily. mens-rights and a whole host of anti-feminism blogs out in the blogsphere and even has a comprehensive site at http://menforjustice.net/cms/>Men for justice There is a book already far along being created at this very moment. It wouldn't be hard at all to edit in that "Notability" You say the article needs. All we'd need to do is go out and spread out the word and no doubt we could get those external links up. There would be the book out for sale. The language used could be changed to make it sound less preachy and "Soapbox" like. This could be done very easy yet you all would rather refuse to have it happen. Because you know we could make it meet the notability requierments. I don't see why this can not be done. As it would stop the need for such a debate and bashing one another. How?, Because then it would show that you really are just Following your own rules or that this really is just admins that want to silence dissenting opinions that differ from thier own.Rhythmic01 22:23, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh ya. Just to drive my points home. Maybe some links to your site from other sites not affiliated with you. Easy. As I said before. Niceguys forum isn't the only anti-feminist site out there.

But those sites you've listed only agree with you. --Merovingian {T C @} 22:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe some media coverage. There is no need for traditional mainstream media coverage by the very way the movement is setup. Give it a read. Or better yet. You should have already seen this on our forum since you are spying on us. Allow me to quote what I said on our forums. Something that you should already have read no? I have seen multiple blogs that in spirit, Go by the basics of MGTOW they don't actually come out and say this or are vocal about calling and/or identifing themselves as such.

Thats the thing with a movement set up in the way we have it. There are many men who have thier own sites and blogs that are indeed. About them going thier own way. Its a hella broad movement that, Because of the way we for the most part are doing all of this in a more individualistic and a somewhat non-cooperated way.

That only works against you though. You are part of a broader movement, which does deserve its place on Wikipedia, but this is a single faction we're talking about. --Merovingian {T C @} 22:36, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles about Internet-based communities like yours are deleted all the time. Except as I said before. This isn't based on our forum community like you seem to wish it to be. It isn't a mantra made by and only for our forum. You are incorrect in that idea.

(editconflict)*Comment Let me just ask you a simple question, and there's nothing vicious behind it, I'm just curious and you don't have to answer it: What is the appeal of having an article on MGTOW on Wikipedia? I'm just asking and wondering what the answer is. Yanksox 22:33, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment

Yanksox, That is a fairly complex question.

The first and foremost reason is the countless subtypes of feminism listed on wiki. If there is room for 101 types of feminism (exact numbers unimportant), then there should be room for a men’s philosophy, all be it a minor one.

Pardon my humor here, but I can only laugh when we were told to find independent supporting web sites as a minimum. The problem with that is this. Either you don’t care about what MGTOW is, or you have a political view on it. And sites that agree with MGTOW wouldn’t count for independent support. The issue is very polarized. Given that the MGTOW community has failed in creating bonds/friends in the feminist community ( can’t at all see why ), it makes it close to impossible to display a ‘independent’ source online.

Secondly, being listed, or more correctly, not de-listed, is a validation and a general step forward for the philosophy as a whole. A self-serving reason, granted. But human beings have been known to be somewhat self-centered. Osmod 23:53, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]


As I've stated above, you haven't been able to provide links from fair sources I put down the names of a few sites. Go ahead and take it from there. I refuse to sit down for the next 4 hours saving, linking and cataloging multiple anti-feminist sites and blogs so you can outright deem them as not being fair sources and delete anyway. From my point of view you already made up your mind. Now if we are givin the chance to edit out the page and make it so it can stay without it being deleted outright. I wouldn't be against doing the work. But it has already sounded like you have already made up your mind. First by saying Well, we shouldn't go that far. Most of the new registered users voting to keep the article will never be heard from again once it's truly gone for good You've already made up your mind. You claimed I haven't named any sites when I already did name a few. Meaning either you didn't bothering reading my post in full or you did and just skimed past it because you don't care. Thus no matter what sites I put up that show that its more than just the niceguy forum community you will still say. Its just one forum delete anyway because you personally want to see it deleted. I have seen nothing that shows an open mind. I gave you enough to jump start yourself. If you don't want to then nothing will convice you otherwise and typing here is a waste of time. Good day.Rhythmic01 22:51, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What's most ridiculous is that I sympathise with some points of your core values, but I think many of the forumites have gone about it in a most uncouth manner. And by "sites" I don't simply mean websites which link to yours. I'm talking about true media attention and actual debate of subject matter, not just agreement. --Merovingian {T C @} 22:59, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You refused to notice my mention mens news daily? Angry Harry? Why not say what you mean 100 percent. "actual media attention" you mean just mainstream traditional media outlets. Nothing is allowed on Wikipedia unless its mentioned on cnn? What if I told you there was a book that is already out for amazon.com that served as the basis of MGTOW and damn near every basic and tenet of MGTOW thoughout all of his life expeirences. If anything, There would be no MGTOW if it wasn't for this book. Even more to the point. His current revision actually has an entry to a site that list the core idea of MGTOW. Try buying it. http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0976261308/harrysnews-20/102-6020085-2006524

Does this book specifically mention MGTOW? If so, where? --Merovingian {T C @} 23:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

His current revision actually has an entry to a site that list the core idea of MGTOW Part of the latest version of the book makes changes to the second to last chapter. Page numbers from my own outdated book are 254-255 listing Anti-feminist pro-male sites he[the author] visits. depending on if pages were added or taken out it should be in or around there.My own copy is an older one thus I can't give you an exact reference or exact statement.Feel free to buy his current version. Changes should include updated urls to referrals to anti-feminist sites and adding in some more one of which is about MGTOW. Him, Being active around the anti-feminist scene has said this to us[us as in anti-feminist...]. You would have the answer to this and indeed it should have been fairly easy to find this book for yourself if you actually poked around. Funny, You ask a question that was answered just 2 lines above yours. Even better I just type a paragraph restating what was said in one line. You know what. That is enough. I won't bother putting anything else here as you have shown this is a waste of time when you can't even be bother to read something that is. Go ahead and delete the entry.That last statement has shown your closemindedness to any sort of infomation we provide where it has to be repeated over and over againRhythmic01 23:43, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I said. You've been givin enough. You just refuse to see it. You could be given much much more. But its a waste of time as you do not have an open mind. but I think many of the forumites have gone about it in a most uncouth manner. Which is why you probably don't have one.

Rhytmic, could you please calm down? Take a deep breath? K? Ok, let's get to the issue here, and stay as focused and concise as possible. I see you've taken our pictures off your forum; that's a good start, and I commend it, seriously. Regarding the article, it's not whether or not we want it deleted due to ideological matters. I think none of us (not even me, being female) have taken a position based in our sympathy to your cause or not. Most of us tend to think as Wikipedians; that means, there are a few basic rules any article must comply in order to deserve space here. For further information, there are several guidelines I would suggest you to read thoroughly, like

What Wikipedia is not and Verifiability
. What we're trying to determine is:

  • Is the object of this article notable, as in, widely known and recognized outside certain particular forums and blogs?
  • Can this notability be endorsed with independent sources of any kind?
  • Can these sources be listed and, if possible, doublechecked?

We're open to discussion here; and rest assured that we are perfectly able to weight in a positive and objective manner every element you bring to our attention. You mention that you're not willing to "spend four hours saving, linking and cataloging multiple anti-feminist sites and blogs..." Did you know that writing a good article takes way longer than that? Trust me, all the effort you're willing to put in this article will only be for better, as it may assure its permanence here... that, if you're interested in going through that effort. A second positive step would be to rewrite it in an objective and

neutral
way. Take all the time you need; nobody's rushing you, and this debate will stay open for, at least, a few days. Just make sure that you're working with our guidelines here, not yours; it is you who wants to post here, not us at your forum.

We've had tons of articles that, prima facie, were unworthy of being included at Wikipedia, only to find out later and after further work from some editors interested in the subjects they covered that they were perfectly suitable here. Nobody's saying that cannot be the case with your article as well; on the contrary, I encourage you and other members of your forum to take the endeavor of making this a great article, one that we'll be happy to show around. And if you do, I swear right here that I'll be the first to congratulate you... even despite the fact that I'm a woman. Regards, Phaedriel ♥ tell me - 23:47, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment: Most of the text of the article also seems to be unoriginal, as I've found it on other blogs. Would this be considered a copyvio? --Merovingian {T C @} 01:26, 5 June 2006 (UTC)Take a closer look. You might catch the notice.[reply]

The MGTOW logos and the MGTOW Manifesto are public domaim, explicitly designated so by their creators (the men of MGTOW) to be used by anyone for the purpose of promoting MGTOW. Understandable. You are in such a rush to get rid of it.Rhythmic01 18:55, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • If you guys insist that this article should stay, try to follow some basic guidelines. Assert notability outside the forum and rewrite the text to meet the criteria. In its present form, the article has to be deleted because of copyright problems. And stop trolling around, making a mess on Phaedriel's userpage will only get you blocked. --Tone 08:40, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't happen to know that much about the exact methods the more advanced vandals use, nor do I care, to be quite honest. I fail to have the technical experise needed to speak authoritatively on the matter. --Merovingian {T C @} 03:09, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I found an answer to my question (the SQUIDWARD vandal used this method, and you were powerless to stop him). Also, I have read Wikipedia.info and now understand the true nature of Wikipedia. Look, if you guys just act in an uncontrolled childish fashion, you are going to inspire more true vandalism like SQUIDWARD. Then, you will just have to lock down editing ability. So, the trend will continue untill Wikipedia is totally locked down except by editorial staff, and at that point it will have lost all of its advantage to traditional media. I understand now why nobody in academia takes wikipedia seriously.

Comment: You have articles on some of the most extremist bigots in the feminist movement like Valerie Solanas and Andrea Dworkin, yet we are getting deleted because we are a "partisan polemic". Whatever. When wiki can no longer get enough fundraising to keep itself online or someone vandalizes it all to h**l Ill be watching the fireworks00:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)~~

Someday, Somehow

Not notable.

This is a standard AfD for an album that was put on a prod-AfD which someone removed. Policy says if anyone removes a prod-AfD, it should go to regular AfD, as User:Meegs pointed out to me. The anonymous user who removed the prod-AfD tag did so with no explanation or discussion, and added marketing copy and commercial links.

This is the only album from a musician whose entry was speedy deleted - see Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Ron_Sorensen - because it was a verbatim copy of marketing cruft from the singer's commercial website. The album entry was added by the same anon username that had no history other than creating the singer's marketing-cruft article and this album entry, and uploading the associated images. The label name on this album produces one single Google hit, to the recently speedy-deleted Wikipieda entry for the singer.

Google of "ron sorensen" "someday, somehow" yields 51 hits on 25 URL's, the first two to these Wikipedia entries, around half the rest to Amazon and its mirrors. "Amazon.com Sales Rank: #537,148 in Music"; i.e., not notable. See also

Sedat Laciner

Nominated for deletion for being a vanity page. Being a professor or having been on Turkish TV before does not make one wikipedia-worthy. Also this page was created by its subject. Vartan84 04:16, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also see Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Sedat Laciner for other comments.


  • Keep. While I agree that it is not good to write articles on yourself, he appears fairly notable [16], [17], [18], [19], [20], [21] and see his userpage for many other specific articles he has apparently published. --Fuhghettaboutit 05:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I would think your link to Google Scholars counters your claim of notability. We have people like this one without WP entry, so we shouldn't give space to the academic scree, especially if they're of the self-promoting variety. ~ trialsanderrors 06:19, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • .You really think the "we don't have articles on these more notable subjects, therefore this less notable subject doesn't belong" argument has merit? I think the the two propositions bear no logical relationship whatever--Fuhghettaboutit 03:54, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Not necessarily (although I see the obverse all the time) but a Google scholar link with 5 entries is all by itself a strong argument against notability. I just brought up the comparison because some people simply have no perspective on what it takes to be notable in academia. ~ trialsanderrors 04:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's not a strong argument against; it's one of a number of separately enumarated bases, which I think should be looked at as a whole. Certainly, there is nothing here screaming strong or speedy keep, but on the razor's edge, I feel this falls on the side of keep. By the way, the obverse should be seen all the time as it is precedent. However, that should not be used to affirm the consequent.
You clearly have some deep connection with ISRO if you speak of it by name and actually know what it is, Lambiam. While it is linked from Mr. Laciner's page, it goes to the Indian Space Research Organization. If you were a normal wikipedian (and not Mr. Laciner himself or an associate?) you would likely be as in the dark as the rest of us about it, not use being the director of it as a good reason for his bio to remain on wikipedia. On top of that, you claim he has books published. Well I'm sure SOMETHING (his organizations?) published the books listed on his page, but it was not by any real publishing company. I looked up the name Laciner on amazon, which has practically anything published ever, and there were no results. Thus, his "books published" were probably done by his own organization and that certainly does not warrant him a place on wikipedia. Heck, my uncle has published a few things that you can actually buy on amazon but I'd never think of adding him to wikipedia for that reason. Finally, yes he was selected "Young Global Leader", but the way you state it is misleading. He was A young global leader, not THE young global leader of 2006. If you check the list he was one of about a hundred or so. Unless each of them deserve a complete wikipedia page for that reason, merely participating in a conference, then that can't be used as a reason either. I seem to have exhausted reasons Laciner should have a wikipedia page, do you have any others? Vartan84
Argue the merits and leave the shrill, bloviating incivility and unwarranted sockpuppet accusations behind; they do nothing but hurt your argument. Yeah I suppose it's possible that Lambien made 3,000 edits to disguise his future plan to post a vanity article and make it look like he was a new user with 135 edits. Actually the plan has worked, here I am defending Lambien so I must be another Sedat Laciner sockpuppet. Guess those 13,000 edits were a good cover so I can disagree with you without worrying too much.--Fuhghettaboutit 04:02, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I did argue the merits. I put forward arguements backing up why I think each reason put forward for Laciner's "famousness" and deserving of a wikipedia entry do not stand up. I do not want to attack anyone personally, so please direct further discussion of why he should be on wikipedia towards my reasons he shouldn't. Vartan84 16:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete. The article is very problematic, as it is created by the subject, who really is not broadly notable. At the same time there are no entries of really notable Turkish scholars such as Kemal Kirişçi, Şerif Mardin, Murat Belge or Hüseyn Bağcı. Bertilvidet 09:07, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I agree that it is a shame that these don't have an article. Only Murat Belge has an article on the Turkish Wikipedia. Unless the argument is that the names mentioned are at the border of notability so that anything less must drop off, I don't see how this is relevant to the decision we're trying to reach here. I don't think of the subject of the article as being particularly notable for his scholarship in the academic sense, but more so as an intellectual who through various activities has an input in the policy debate on a variety of issues. While not "broadly notable", there are many less notable subjects who have an entry, and I'm not referring to poor Mr. Mike Bach, but for instance all-around nice guy Marc Hetherington, or Chris Weinkopf, or Bill Bauer, or any of zillions more. I personally don't see the point of deleting those (I guess I must be something of an inclusionist then), as long as the information is verifiable and can be presented from a neutral point of view. But if we start deleting, then why not start at the low end? --LambiamTalk 16:06, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I know people love him because he gives credence to wholly unnotable entries, but Mike Bach is on his way out. Just in general, don't use the existence of unnotable entries to make a case for another unnotable entry. Propose the ones you want deleted for deletion. ~ trialsanderrors 18:23, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    As I said, I don't particularly want them deleted. The point is that I'm in favour of a certain evenhandedness; maybe I'm mistaken, but I sometimes get the the impression that people from countries not in the core of the First World with otherwise the same qualifications are more likely to be considered non notable and have their entries nominated for deletion. --LambiamTalk 19:22, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    Just reading through today's deletion log I can't say that Non-First World/English speaking subjects are more likey to be targeted for deletion. But that's an empirical question that's poorly addressed by examples. I'm much more interested in cases where the subject or some close acquaintance is the likely only/main editor of the article than their origin. ~ trialsanderrors 20:38, 5 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Dr. Laciner is one of the leading well-known scholars in his field. An article on Laciner will enrich Wiki knowledge base. Deepblue06 02:39, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete I don’t see how Laciner is a leading well-known scholar in his field. There is quite an easy way to know if someone is indeed notable in his field, Laciner is in political science, right? Well, he has written books right? Then we know of the notability of a writter on the notability of his publications. If he is notable enough and that his works are notable enough, there should be at least one notable critic of his works published at least in one notable scholarly journal. I have checked in the databases there is none, neither was his works ever cited in a reputable journal. If we were to start creating articles about individuals leading or not, from who knows what think tank organization we could add thousands of people that have no place. Anyone here can visit university factulties and pick professeurs who follows master or doctorate degree students, what is the probability that they are published scholars and that their works are cited or criticised in a reputable journal? The probability is pretty high, and I personally known professors who are really, really reputable compared to this man, but still, I’d qualify not enough for an encyclopedia.

  • I wouldn't necessarily call it "non-notable." It did win several first place awards in Xfire/Blizzard's movie contest. Also, the phrase "non-notable" seems a bit harsh.

List of Professorships at the University of Glasgow

Also nominating every article on that list and the corresponding category. Universities are important, but I think that having articles on each professorship with a list of people that have held the position is way overkill Hirudo 06:05, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • These articles are also being considered for deletion:
    • Edwards Professor of Medieval History
  • Delete per nom. Way too much! Yanksox 06:07, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - I think if you want to nominate every article, they need to have the afd1 template added to them pointing them to this listing. As for my opinion on the issue, there is no reason to have a separate article on each professorship or to mention every non-notable professor's name. Merge and condense would be my suggestion. Perhaps this whole mess could be userfied to User:Veritas1984's userspace where he can refactor and re-present it. BigDT 06:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yikes if you're right that would be a lot of work adding it to all of them (and then possibly a lot of work removing them if they're kept). I'll check with an admin and will add them if needed -- Hirudo 06:45, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. An old university such as Glasgow has had some interesting prominant Professors and a list of the established and Regius chairs with their date of foundation is important and interesting. I see no reason why they can not all be kept. I would support this however only for universities established say before 1800. --Bduke 09:11, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Perfectly notable topics, and I hope we will get more articles and lists like these (we have them already for Oxford, Cambridge and the Gresham professorships, see Category:Professorships), but some limit (as suggested by Bduke) may be reasonable. up+land 12:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete it is just a lot of pieces of info, if one is notable (plays a certain role in international academia, maybe) we can consider it. Lists of people who held a certain position in a hierarchy opens an interesting floodgate: imagine an article for every position at every university, government office and important organization for every country in the world - lets add them when we have something interesting to write and not just because we have a list to put there.

Review of International Law and Politics

This is published by the person who added this page. It is another vanity page from the person who brought you the pointless mess of a page

Tayyibe Gulek. A Google search bring up no more than 13 hits for something of this title, with half of them being related to it being listed on wikipedia (or answers.net which copies everything on wikipedia.) A couple of the other hits are from the publisher's page about it, and that's about it. Also the categories it is listed in are numerous and completely bogus, "charities" for example? While it says it does accept articles in English, its cover picture makes it clear it is mainly a Turkish publication coming from Turkey, therefore I see no reason for it to even be on English wikipedia. Its publisher was the one who added it in the first place, and he has put up quite a few other vanity pages such as this. Vartan84 06:09, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

"Uluslararası Hukuk ve Politika" gives more Google hits.
  • Delete This appears to be advertising hoping to capture WP traffic and credibility. It is a non-notable project that has not been around long enough to show any significance. If it starts getting quoted by academic or main stream news publications then it can be reconsidered. The complaint that it is not written in English, however, is not a proper argument for inclusion, as I understand WP criteria for inclusion of publications. What really matters is whether it's notability can be verified. In this case, it cannot, thus should be deleted. Ande B. 06:22, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This journal is one of the 1,629 serials currently monitored for inclusion in CSA Worldwide Political Science Abstracts.[26] Among these it is one of the 274 that has "Core" status, the highest of three status levels. That is good enough for me. By the way, I know (by reputation, not personally) the organization behind this, which is a serious and respectable organization. --LambiamTalk 00:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    On this page: [27] you can see that İlter Turan, Professor of Political Science and former Rector at Istanbul Bilgi University, one of the most prestigious universities in Turkey, and also President of the Turkish Political Science Association, member of the Editorial Boards or Advisory Boards of more than a few international journals, serves on the Editorial Board of this journal. --LambiamTalk 06:04, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think having someone with a wikipedia page on your board qualifies you for a inclusion as well. Besides... a google search reveals allegations from other wikipedians that Ankaram is the same as Sedat Laciner, who created this page and a bunch of others about his organizations. I won't make the same accusion because I have no proof, but seeing as Anakaram updated the Laciner wikipage many times after it was created, the fact he created this page on Ilter Turan is not surprising. What is surpising though is the fact the Turan page is completely in capital letters and in serious need of improving its quality. All his bio states is that he is a professor of Bilgi University (founded 1994/6, I don't think such new schools would be that prestigious). Having published a few books does not make one famous either, quite a few of my college professors were published (and taught at American Universities more people would be familliar with) but I wouldn't add them to wikipedia for that. This is becoming an arguement about Turan's page instead of this organization, but I think I've shown through it that having some guy (Turan) with a wikipedia page who doesn't really appear to warrant having one on your board of some organization (RILP) few people have heard of does not make it deserving of a wikipedia page. Especially when considering the AUTO status of those who created the page. Vartan84 14:49, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete this version of blatant advertising stuffed full of links; but let an article on RILP come back if/when there's notability in the content. The point above about "core" status is heading an interesting way, so the author could helpfully cite impact factor (cf JAMA) or some heavily cited article to show it's not an issue of vanity.--Mereda 12:39, 9 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - This page is only going to keep coming back and getting re-created. The content conforms to Wikipedia:Verifiability guidelines, by being based upon multiple written external sources. The main 9/11 conspiracy page is now an accepted part of the WIKIPEDIA, and at over 100kb, was FAR TOO LONG. A concensus was arrived at that the main page was too long, and the creation of sub pages is in accordance with the ALREADY ESTABLISHED CONCENSUS ON THIS MATTER.

          • Actually, it's the opposite of an endorsement. Not a single person supported the split in that particular discussion. I'm confused... since nobody supported the split there, and few supported similar splits elsewhere (that I saw, anyway), why is that your justification for a speedy keep? The original article isn't up for deletion, just the split offs. – Zawersh 10:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Skimming through the talk archives, there appears to be no consensus for splitting. My impression was that more people wanted the article to be editted down to a smaller size. If it's to be split, it should be with consensus. – Zawersh 09:10, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

    • Fuzzy; have you used the wikipedia resource lately? for example, go to http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/encyclopedia where you will note the definition of an encylopedia includes "A comprehensive reference work with articles on a range of topics." Now, Kooks Anonymous is a surf organization. Thus, if an individual wants to do research on the topic "surf organizations in the USA, NYC etc." they could go into wikipedia and find information on the Kooks as well as other surf organizations. If the information is removed, that individual will not find all the relevant information, thereby making wikipedia a less than comprehensive resource. Is that your goal? --User:[email protected] June 6, 2006

Fuzzy logic just doesn't get it. Kooks Anonymous exists in the real world, not merely in googleplexdom. Real surfers can get realtime information and shared knowledge of the real world of surfing. Members from three or four continents and several tropical and subtropical islands are in constant communication supporting each other. Kooks Anonymous exists to provide a support network and self-improvement capabilities to the ocean-challenged and neophyte surfer. Kooks Anonymous offers daily news releases and weather forecasting, political and social commentary as well as plain old brother-and sister-hood, not to mention a few good laughs now and then. Furthermore Kooks Anonymous is non-exclusive and open to all comers.

  • Maintain. I remember finding Kooks Anonymous through the Internet. And when I came to New York, I met some of the real Kooks. They took me surfing, and they rock. Don't delete!! You'll be erasing an online resource citing some of the East Koast's finest bit of surf history. The group is notable for the unique situation of New York City and East Coast surfers. If you search Wikipedia and enter the term "Surfing New York" Kooks Anonymous is the first result, which is right where it should be to introduce all online surfers to the wild world of surfing the Big Apple. - www.kakirine.com - June 7, 2006

  • Don't Delete! The article needs to be edited, is all. The dismissive remarks here about Mr. Fetting & the faction he headed are "POV'd up to hell as well." There's nothing about this entry that is a hoax, the basic facts can be proven, and are relevant to millions of students of Mormon-related history, not to mention the thousands of believers today who accept Otto Fetting's claim to have been visited by a major figure in Christian tradition. I agree the entry "presents [the writer's] beliefs as if they are absolute reality," and I agree that is unacceptable. Don't delete it right away, I'll see about revising it to differentiate between the facts (such as Mr. Fetting being born November 20, 1871, d. January 30, 1933) and what are claims or beliefs.
  • Don't Delete! Me again. I only just noticed the German Wikipedia entry for Otto Fetting, and that it is superior to the English-language entry being considered for deletion. ((http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otto_Fetting)).
    • This is a visual representation of the article's verifiability and notability: ______ -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:32, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Um...so you're still at that stage in the discussion? The verifiability and notability of Otto Fetting is established. I take it you don't read German. Either fix the article or delete it, but how about not using this as a forum to merely disparage a religious faction. Urban2
      • For one: the article is unsourced. For another: the article presents these beliefs as fact rather than encyclopedically (my largest problem with the article, still). As yet, no proof has been provided as to why he's notable, or in Baumfabrik's words: not "a minor member of a minor church, visited by a minor angel". -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 01:03, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Yes the article is sourced, especially by its link to the "Church of Christ with the Elijah Message" entry. For "another," I have said I agree the article is unacceptable because it presents beliefs as facts. I said it needs to either be fixed or deleted. In "edit history" check out what I submitted then withdrew, not sure whether it was acceptable either. As for your claim that "no proof has been provided as to why he's notable, etc.," yes it has. Glance at the German Wikipedia entry for Otto Fetting, please. And glance at the English Wikipedia entry about the modern church he founded, please. Thanks. Baumfabrik's opinion about what constitutes "minor" or "major" in the Christian or any related tradition, is irrelevant. To suggest John the Baptist is a "minor" figure in Christianity is not only arguable, but trashable, especially in the Eastern Orthodox view, which puts more emphasis on John the Baptist than the Western tradition. Articles about religious factions should be edited for verifiability and noteworthiness, not be a kindergarten exercise in "disbelieving" this or that groups' beliefs. --Urban2 | | 02:47, 6 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

7 Seconds of Love

No reliable sources (no sources at all, in fact). No entry on allmusic. No entry on discog. No assertion that this is anything other than a group of blokes with a band. The only remotely notable thing about it is the presence of Joel Veitch, who spun a flash animation habit into some TV adverts in the UK. It was only the line at the end of the article: "7 Seconds Of Love has a small yet growing underground following," that stopped me from using speedy del A7... and that was giving it a big benfit of the doubt. - Motor (talk) 09:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Simce when have we started removing articles purely on how it performs on Google? There are many reasons why Google will not index some sites properly. One such reason is the past history of the domain. A quick search on archive.org for 'smszone.com' displays countless pages of a German adult website. As you may already be familiar with, Google does not forget such things easiy.

SMS spoofing is also listed as having a criminal impact on society in the wiki entry for SMS with the 'sms zone' pinpointed as the cause.

Kyle Peavley

A few of us on the aritcle's talk page are questioning the notability on this article, so we'll bring it here for more input. From what I understand, Kyle is a student in this anti-tobacco group, stand, and is apparently highly involved. The group received an award in DC from the Campaign for Smoke Free Kids. Kyle has been involved with a bunch of their projects and his name has been mentioned in some newspapers for it. A Google search for 'Kyle Peavly" returns 415 results. However, if you eliminate all results from "ratemyteachers.com," a site where Kyle frequents the forums, you get 25 results. In my opinion, while it is good work he is doing, it is not notable enough for Wikipedia. It seems like he's highly involved with the organization, but isn't THE organization. I, too, am highly involved with a student organization (I'm the national secretary of one that serves over 200,000 members) but I don't think that makes me particular notable. Metros232 10:16, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

You're right he is not THE organization, but he is the Administrative Manager of the organization and goes throughout Ohio speaking on behalf of the organization, clean indoor air for the state (including giving speeches at clean indoor air ralleys and cities that are kicking off being smoke free including Kettering Ohio on Money), and is at every health fair in the state giving speeches. He is highly in the media for his work at least 4 times a week in his hometown area and more throughout the state. I have stated previously that I would be more than happy to provide media coverage on DVD and send that in. I just feel that he deserves a spot on here for all the work that he has done throughout the years and continues to do on a state level here in Ohio. He is one of our most notable teens in the state in our opinion but won't state that because it is bias. I just feel there's no real reason to delete this article and if you would let me know what more can be done to ensure it is not deleted I would be more than happy to strive towards acheiving that. Thanks again. -Melissa

It's ashamed that most of the interviews are done on the news and are only on video. I think if you were from Ohio and had at least payed attention to any tobacco news (which there has been a lot of it in the past year) you will find Kyle's face, speeches, and quotes plastered all over the news. - Melissa

Originally, I was going to say delete, but I will ammend this to a conditional keep, if Mr. Palpatine agrees to work on this page with me to refine it, and do further research with citations. It is a film that needs a longer explination than may be given on the front page, but should not be as long as it is (or have so many pictures as it does) now. There are the workings of a good article behind this-- one which may utilize quotes between Kubrick and Clarke for an NPOV and citations.

  • Weak keep. Borderline unencyclopedic. On the other hand well done, verifiable, descriptive rather than an opinionated review, and an influential film. For a lot of other IMDB-top-100 films this level of detail would be insane but for this one it works. Wikipedia is

I disagree, editors combine multiple secondary sources all the time; it is only "generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of information or data" by the editor that is forbidden by
WP:NOR. To my way of thinking, collecting information from multiple synopses is not analysis in the sense that WP:NOR means it; it is just "collecting and organizing".Gerry Ashton 19:57, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

Combining multiple secondary sources to create tertiary sources is fine. Combining multiple secondary sources to create another secondary source is a different matter. Regards, MartinRe 20:08, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Copied from User talk:Jason Palpatine by Scm83x:
The article as it stands references no sources at all, so why didn't you include the full listing of your sources in the article, as required by
WP:RS, but basically if the article is a film synopsis, then, by definition, it is based on the primary source. The question is then, who is doing the synopsis? If that synopsis is by a wikipedia editor, then it is original research. If the synopsis is done by someone else, then wikipedia could source that as a secondary source, but the article should then discuss the synopsis, but not the film itself. Thus, a synopsis of a film must fall into two categories, either secondary sources has summerised it, and the article reproduces it, which is a problem with copyright, or an editor has analysied several synopses and summerised them, which is original research.

The result of the debate was redirected to Satanism. --Sam Blanning(talk) 10:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Diabolism

Proposed for deletion on the grounds of vandalism and notability

On two occasions the redirect to Satanism has been removed and an article inserted by Kyrus and 80.9.139.207. The former is a pseudonym Russell Gray Sneddon uses on Internet forums (one of which I admin) and the IP is similar to the one he has used there. The first edit was reverted to the redirect but the second one seems to have stuck. Putting the entry back after it was reverted is bordering on vanadlaism especially when the "religion" is just an invention by Russell Gray Sneddon and isn't notable and is purely here for self-promotion purposes. I could revert this back to the redirect for a third time but I wanted to make sure it was officially removed once and for all as it looks like this could easily get bogged down in a reverting war.

  • Comment These are the results for the google test[50] if anyone is interested. Yanksox 16:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just a quick note but I am not objecting to the word Diabolism per se - it is the equivalent to Satanism and was rightly redirected there. What I am objecting to is the information on a "religion" that was inserted (twice) when the redirect was removed. Here is a test for that permutation [51] (Emperor 16:34, 3 June 2006 (UTC))[reply]
Just a quick comment but the article as it stands doesn't describe Satanism - that is part of the point of it needing to be removed. It should redirect to Satanism and has done on two occasions [52] [53] only for this to be removed and an entry inserted about a made up and non-notable "religion". Diabolism is a synonym for Satanism according to the dictionary [54] and its worth noting that
Devil worship already redirects to Satanism. (Emperor 13:18, 5 June 2006 (UTC))[reply

Strontium and Ulyxitradenium in the Cognitive Kortex and related articles

Non-verifiable. The 3 results for the book's title are 3 Wikipedia links. Yale University Press offers no results in a search for any books by him. Also nominating:

Alexander Jenson, the article on the author of this book.
Daniel Loewenherz, the author's colleague that is also unverifiable.

Something smells like a hoax to me because the best results I can find through Google and Yale's searches suggest that both Alexander and Daniel are students at Yale in the Class of 2009. If these two died in a car accident surely it would have been mentioned on the Yale site. Metros232 17:31, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Blair Witch 3: The Prequel

This article is an exercise in crystalballism taken to an absurd extreme---the article's author simply has no idea whether the film will be made, and even concludes by saying it probably won't. It is stated that the film is in post-production, then a few sentences later, he states the film has not been made---which is it? Wikipedia is not the place for speculation as to whether or not a certain film will be made. When the film truly exists, then you write an article. Charles 17:30, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Important clerical notice I just wanted to note for the record on this vote that this article creator is creating multiple sequel articles with no references whatsoever — examples are Signs 2, Blair Witch 3: The Prequel, Speed 3, Stir of Echoes: The Dead Speak, and I'll Never Forget what You Did Last Summer, possibly for sinister reasons (see Fan1967's statement in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Signs 2) Furthermore, same creator is continually removing the AfD notices on his pages, so you may want to keep a special eye on the source page for this article to make sure that they don't do the same with yours. Blocking may be slightly ineffective due to the anonymous editors being behind AOL proxy servers (see here and here). — Mike •  02:09, 8 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of famous people with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder

This list, like its namesake and predecessor, its totally speculative and unencyclopedic. (From the discussion page it looks like there might have been one sourced statement about Emma Watson, and possibly a couple of others, but I can't get the sourcing links to work for me.) The previous incarnation was deleted; has some information come out since 2005 to cause us to reconsider the validity of this list?

If this info can be sourced and the list pared way down to documented cases, I don't have a problem with this page. But each time the discussion comes up, that seems to be beyond possibility. Better no article by this title than one this speculative. PhilipR 17:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of golden age hip hop artists

This page was PROD'd with the justification, "While an article can address the bluriness I'm not sure that a straight up list can do that." This list was a fork of Golden age hip hop, so I thought the deletion decision needed some consideration. No preference from me, thanks. — RJH (talk) 18:01, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Weak delete - Agreed with the prod'd statement as to the fuzziness of the situation. It seems like pretty much any hip hop artist who was active from '85-'90 could be on this list. Since there isn't strict criteria attached to "golden age hip hop" and it is such a BROAD group of artists, it doesn't seem like it serves much of a purpose.

This article is unverified and unverifiable. The IMDB page is completely empty. She does not occur in the credits of what she claims to be in.

  • ConsiderLook, I’m not really defending this, but there are a few things you have overlooked.

From my research, I found that the picture that you claimed was the same from Christina Ritter’s to Mallory Jameson’s is titled Tina's Cute pics! 039.jpg. And looks like this: [56] However, Mallory Jameson’s picture is titled Youngerheadshot.jpg and is not the same image. Also they look similar, but you can tell they are two different people. Mallory is obviously around 12 years old, and Christina much older, probably around 16 or 17. The picture of the older girl has smaller eyes, a bigger nose, and no lips hardly, whereas the opposite with the younger girl. The only thing that seems truly similar about them is the shape of their eyes and their wavy hair. Besides, many people look alike and have no relation at all. That's why there's celebrity etc look alike contests. Again, not supporting it, but just for the future realize those little details you ignored. —The preceding

Mrozinski

It happens all the time. A person who is non-notable by Wikipedian standards creates a website or webpage. To create some traffic, (s)he creates an article here. The vanity page consists of ravings, exaggerations and unverifiable facts. Basic demographics are not included. Next we, Wikipedia editors, start looking for leads about this person, demographics etcetera, for verification, NPOVing and notability. The page becomes a knowledge-base on the person. However, the person does not like his birth-names, birth-date, a linked page with information about the dip in his career and/or other biographic facts and (s)he starts trolling through

    • To all above: None of this would be a problem if you didn't insist on undoing my edits. I have attempted to comply repeatedly by editing and/or deleting information that is unverifiable by your standards. Yet everytime I edit the page, another "editor" comes back and reverts it to pre-edit status. I'm sure that you would not want to be represented by erroneous information (such as my "full name" which is incorrect). Anything that cannot be cited or "proven" I have tried to remove, but "editors" keep putting it back. What is the point of this? I would much rather have the article deleted than to have unacceptable info be replaced repeatedly after I have deleted or changed it. If you take exception to my previous tone of frustration and indignation, imagine how you would feel if you were forced to be misrepresented by people who have no clue as to the facts. When these edits are constantly changed by various "editors", I have no choice but to change them again, and as aresult I get blocked and unable to represent myself or state the facts as they are. I have been insulted, condescended to, purposely baited ("just to annoy Mrozinski"), blocked, banned and otherwise dismissed all in regard to an article that is supposed to be about me. Please, guys, give me a birthday present today and just delete the whole article so we all can use our valuable time by attending to other more important matters.

International Strategic Research Organization

As the publisher of the already discredited-on-wikipedia Review of International Law and Politics, the "International Strategic Research Organization should be deleted along with it. The organizations director created this page for no other reason than to promote it and as a vanity page. It is not appropriate for wikipedia, it is not any kind of leading world organization as it claims. Vartan84 19:37, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is a serious and respectable organization. I don't buy the "already discredited-on-wikipedia" argument. First, the jury is still out. Secondly, if a bad entry is written on (for example) the
    Turkish Weekly. --LambiamTalk 00:48, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply
    ]
Look, parts of the article are even written in the first-person plural, as it describes the guidelines for accepting submissions. The link to the allegedly famous ISRO goes to some Indian Space Organization. And most of all, if I try to find any cooberating information about this organization on Google I find no more than 10 unique hits, many of which being to its listing on wikipedia or affliates. The only pages that mention it seem to be: once on a Turkish newspaper site (the Turkish Weekly in fact, someone from whom has helped to updated the Organization's wikipedia page), one or two other (sometimes broken) links, and funniest of all a porn page. A sign of its notability would be it showing up multiple times on Google being referenced by outside sources, but that just doesn't seem to be the case. Sure if we want to enhance wikipedia as "a repository of encyclopedic information" that's just fine, however that does not mean we put everything and everyone in existence on it. Claiming it was done to enhance encyclopedic knowledge is just a nice way to gloss over the fact it appears to have largely been done for the sake of self-promotion by the journal's publisher. Vartan84
What exactly is your problem? This article should be deleted because the organization publishes a journal on whose page the editor wrote "We welcome" instead of "The journal welcomes"? That is a clearcut reason for deletion if I ever saw one. Did you check? Maybe that qualifies for a speedy! As to Google: try this: "Uluslararası Stratejik Arastirmalar Kurumu". If your Turkish is not up to par, "International Strategic Research Organization" gives enough hits from outside sources. And should that not be enough, here you'll find some more: ISRO USAK. --LambiamTalk 05:39, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article has the same failings as the first time it was nominated for deletion. It looks more like a promotion for an individual plastic surgeon and academic than a legitimate Wikopedia article. If one looks at the cited awards, for example, there are dozens and dozens of doctors who have won those awards. The number of publications is not unusual for an academic at all. In fact, many academics have far more than these. It seems odd to highlight one doctor out of the hundreds and thousands that could be highlighted. If indeed this surgeon made an original independent contribution to the field, then I suggest that instead of a separate article, a footnote in the Plastic Surgery article would be more appropriate.

Take that away, and he is a run-of-the-mill practicing physician who has only risen to the level of (non-tenured) assistant professorship. Actually, what may be most noteworthy about Dr. Maxwell is the fact that he seems to have egregiously violated laws requiring informed consent.

The discussion on the lawsuit has nothing to do with the reason for this Rfd. Please read the reason above.

  • Delete It can be expected from any physician that he or she has had works published, and quite simply, this guy is no more notable than the next. Also, if writing an article about an insignificant person, it is imperrative that the article clearly states this, so the reader does not falsely believe him to be world-renowned or famous. Adambiswanger1 16:49, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nuclear test and earthquake correlations

What at first appears to be a legitimate page and topic is in the end a pile of conjecture, a dump of links which often have nothing to do with the subject, and ridiculous amounts of POV (the author clearly wants to believe that nuclear tests trigger large earthquakes, even though according to almost all reputable sources they don't. It has sat around with a cleanup notice for months, nothing has happened with it; I don't see anything positive about having it around, any useful information can be merged into the "earthquakes" section of Effects of nuclear explosions.

Men's fashion freedom

See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Male Unbifurcated Garment and its DRVs (1, 2).

This term (in quotes) gets 333 Google hits, all apparently from blogs, forums and such. For that reason, and judging from the links that are supplied, I have strong suspicions this "movement" consists of a handful of individuals at best, and is therefore not sufficiently notable for inclusion (let alone attested by

reliable sources). What encyclopedic content there is (about skirts for men) is already replicated at Skirt#Men_in_skirts. Sandstein 21:36, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

The word "movement" may be a little misleading (if it's taken to imply any kind of centralized organization), but it is in fact a real phenomenon. As long as the article is not a platform for Dr1819's personal advocacy, I see no reason to delete it. (If it reverts to being a platform for Dr1819's personal advocacy, then it would be worthy of speedy delete). Churchh 22:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

      • Then why don't you propose that Jordanhill railway station should be deleted first? Actually, it's not a "very good argument" at all -- there are scads of Wikipedia articles on minor medieval monarchs who are also at least "semi-obscure" (for example)... As long as Dr1819 can be kept from exerting the leading role on the article (something which was a proven recipe for disaster in the past), I really don't see why "Men's fashion freedom" can't be a perfectly legitimate (though rather minor) Wikipedia article.

    • Object because, as you can see from the links at the top of this discussion, "Male Unbifurcated Garment" was repeatedly recognised as non-encyclopedic by the community. Then as now, the problem was not the underlying phenomenon — no one disputes that some men do wear skirts — but the protologistic coining of terms to describe it by what appear to be a very few people on a mission. The actual phenomenon is quite well covered at Skirt#Men_in_skirts, I think, and can be expanded there if necessary. Sandstein 05:39, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Response - That would be nice, but people keep deleting references to men's fashion freedom and MUGs there, too, again without taking the time to learn about how many people actually use these terms, both of which have been around for at least a decade. Also, Men's Fashion Freedom is a large superset of MUGs, and includes everything from wearing foreign (non-local) garb for men to the wearing of clothes generally intended for the opposite sex. MUGs, on the other hand, refers to the wear of a specific type of clothing that's primarily intended for wear by either men, or both men and women (as are sarongs in the South Pacific). Put another way, MUG-wear isn't generally about men's fashion freedom, and lumping it in with the Skirts is errorneous, as there are many forms of MUGs that are not skirts at all (Caftans, etc.) 12:07, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree. Men in skirts is the wrong way to go. I would also point out to Sandstein that when a term is being used by major print sources on four continents, designers and manufacturers, it is no longer a protologism. I would ask that he stick to the facts. --JJay 12:13, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • See, I'd be glad to vote "keep" if "Men's fashion freedom" were in fact a term "used by major print sources on four continents". The problem is that it is not. Dr1819 has posted a list of links (now in talk), of which all but one referred to forums, blogs, personal websites and other such internet ephemera. So we'd like to see (after what's now a week of discussion) some actual
    reliable print references, please. Sandstein 13:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)[reply

This often-cited nonsense has been strongly countered with clear references to many thousands of men at numerous geographic locations around the world showing keen interest.

  • Keep - There are about 500 hits for "men's fashion freedom", 850 for men's "fashion freedom", and 1160 for men's unbifurcated garment. It seems to be a real movement (ie way of thinking), and has a fair amount of internet sites specifically about it. I'd like to note that wikipedia isn't about censorship, and small items like this men's fashion freedom movement is at very worst, harmless. Please don't delete an article because its badly written, or because Dr1819 might be acting like an ass. Delete an article if its on a topic that should be written about AT ALL.

    • I beg to disagree. The unbifurcated garments are no longer at issue here, and the internet movement regarding "fashion freedom" seems to consist of a few dozen bloggers and forum participants at best — at least no one has shown otherwise yet.

I'd like to note that on the page Notability, it says that "It has been argued that lack of "notability" is not a criterion for deletion" under the header Notability and deletion. The article goes on to say "The problem with writing "Delete, non-notable" is not about whether the articles should be in Wikipedia, but that it is a quick phrase that does not tell another person why the article is non-notable." and "The recent fundraising page says, "Imagine a world in which every person has free access to the sum of all human knowledge. That's what we're doing." We are not doing that if we are deleting articles solely due to their obscurity."
It should be remembered that deleting based on non-notability is NOT policy. Its interesting to note that the main reason to delete non-notable pages is that they "clutter categories", which isn't a huge issue to begin with.
Is there any possible way we can merge and redirect this page - is there any article on a similar topic? I knew nothing about this topic until looking at that article, and I think its simply an interesting passing topic. Please ask yourselves why you want this article to be deleted - I'd be interested to know the downside of keeping the article. Fresheneesz 02:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The article probably should be moved to Men's Unbifurcated Garment, but that one got deleted last time around because most of the content of the article was by Dr1819, and he/she rather conspicuously didn't win friends or influence people during the deletion debate (I myself voted to delete).

It looks like theres consensus to delete, so I won't push my points further. But i'm personally curious to know peoples' opinions as to what is wrong with labeling an article with {{cleanup}}, {{notability}}, {{sources}}, {{POV}}, {{OriginalResearch}}, {{NOR}} , rather than deleting them? I.e. what harm to stub non-notable articles like this do? Fresheneesz 00:28, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
More entries in the database doesn't make it run any faster, it makes the life of cleanup ant workers that much more difficult, it clutter categories, non notable subjects detract from the notable ones basically. Besides if a subject is not notable, no sources are going to be available for writing a proper article. Worse, it's a slippery slope, deletion is what shields wikipedia from hundred of pages every day that could be "stubbed" and "kept". Equendil Talk 00:47, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The database is filled with *large* histories of notable articles. Small non-notable articles aren't going to be a significant weight on the database. Of course, if theres more content, cleanup is going to be harder, and cluttered categories aren't an imperative problem.
One thing I could suggest is split up categories into notable and non-notable articles - with notable articles most prominantly displayed. I would think that would solve that problem. A similar thing could be done with cleanup work, notables should get precidence. However, since wikipedia is meant to be improved for the *readers*, I don't see how any of those arguments argue that deletion improves anything for readers. In my point a view an article thats labled as shitty (and is shitty of course), is much better than no article at all. Fresheneesz 01:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I was quite surprised when I found out that 100 articles go through AfD each day, with many more speedied, avoiding considerable clutter. I like to preserve the compactness of information, and if useful information is spread over many insignificant articles, it becomes the job of every reader to collate it. Deletion should also help train editors on what is required and improve the quality of new articles they write and edits they make, so one deletion may result in many good articles. The discussions also ensure we talk to each other about what we are aiming for, stopping us all drifting ever further apart in our aims. Stephen B Streater 06:20, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
But information is information, and deletion is basically censorship. I have absolutely no problem with full merges of material - merge and redirect. Whenever I find a search item that I expected to go somewhere, but didn't, I'll redirect - and thats what should happen to lots of this information, not a delete. Fresheneesz 07:48, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
An encylopaedia contains knowledge, not just information. The information in this particular article may be more useful in context, and may have found a suitable new home. Having 200 articles, 50% of which are accurate, is deemed less valuable by WP than having 100 articles which are all accurate, even though this involves deleting 100 articles. I believe there are other wikis which prefer quantity to quality. Stephen B Streater 08:16, 13 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The result of the debate was: after three AfDs, it's time for our

first pillar of Wikipedia:Verifiability
to assert itself. The external references (both those in this AfD, and the previous ones) make it very clear what this is: that now and then, someone points out that Newton was born on 25th December in a non-standard calendar, and makes an appropriate pun on 'Christmas'. But nowhere has it been remotely verified that significant numbers of people actually celebrate this as an organised holiday. I'm sure Pharos' science teacher was a damn good teacher, but he's not a reliable source.

To head off protest that the majority for deletion isn't enough - AfD is not a vote, and the discussion here, as well as the previous ones, have served their purpose by showing that while lots of people like the idea (particularly the young scientifically-oriented ex-Christian Westerners that make up much of our systemic bias), it hasn't caught on enough to be worth including in an encyclopaedia.

Newtonmas

Usually nominated at or about Christmas, for reasons which evaporate as soon as you check Newton's birth date, this is a festival apparently proposed by Gordon Worley which has never really caught on. Unusually, I'd say the Google Test says it all: Newtonmas: 845 ghits. "Pi day" (quoted): 357,000 ghits. Michaelmas: ~1m ghits. Lammas: ~1.6m ghits. Christmas: >350,000,000 ghits. So: this is, according to the Google test, approximately 0.0002% as significant as the mainstream festival which would fall on the same date if it weren't for the fact that the calendar changed in 1582. This appears to be a conceit (in the second sense) with no substantive evidence of significance or currency. Disclaimer: I am a great fan of Robert Hooke and if it were Hookemas... I'd still have AfD'd it. Probably. Just zis Guy you know? 22:40, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment of the four external reference links in the article - one is some guys homepage where he admits that that not many people are celebrating newtonmas but asks us to "trust him" that its going to be "a big hit" (and also please click on some of his ad links); the second link is to an obscure, bare webpage on Transhumanism which lists brief mentions of a few holidays including Newtonmas as well as "Speck Day" which is to celebrate the 1996 event of a speck of dust "inspiring" a wannabefamous transhumanist, Darren Reynolds (Googling "Darren Reynolds" and speck give a grand total of 3 (three) google hits); the third links is to an article which uses the coincidence of Newton's birthday and Christmas to make a pun in its title but does not mention Newtonmas as a festival; the fourth link is to a excerpt from an obscure science fiction story where "Gravmas" is celebrated in China (Europe has suffered some kind of apocalyptic decline) some time around the 38th century (I'd mention that wikipedia is not a crystal ball, but this is just ridiculous). And finally the 1984 radio broadcast by Michael E. Marotta mentioned in the article is totally unreferenced and, in any case, is not evidence of an actual festival. Bwithh 00:07, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • Follow-up Here is an physics listserv/newsgroup email from Michael E. Marotta from December 2005 where Marotta - the person who is claimed to have been the first to come up with the festival idea- says - partly in response to the wikipedia article -that he has been sending Newtonmas greetings since the mid-1980s, but also describes this practice this way: "It was always a personal quirk which my friends accepted." Bwithh 00:19, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
      • Follow-up to the follow-up In Marotta's followup Dec 23 email to his original Dec 17 Newtonmas greeting to the physics listserv/newsgroup, as there have been no replies from anyone to his greeting, he sarcastically suggests that next year he will be giving his greeting a controversial title such as "Was Newton Gay?" rather than "Merry Newtonmas".

  • Keep. My main concern with marginally-notable holidays is that by WP endorsing it, WP becomes a promoter (Google scrapes WP in no time, it seems, and puts the WP entry at the top of the list) and hence WP becomes a holiday-maker. That is an active role that is unacceptable for a neutral observer, which WP must remain. However, in this case I found this, on a fairly popular site, which shows me that we won't be first to embrace this new holiday. Another criterion I have is whether any commercial or money making enterprise is banking on its promotion - in this case I don't see it. Add the 'WP is not paper' policy to it, and it becomes a keeper. Crum375 00:11, 4 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I will try to make it as clear as I can. Every single holiday or tradition is 'made up'. The only issue for us here in 'admitting' is whether it is notable enough or not. We don't judge notability by our opinion of it or by whether we like the name, or whether we like the people that celebrate it. We base notability solely on reliable and verifiable sources that tell us whether it is 'widely celebrated', at least among some communities.

Valentin Radu

Valentin Radu (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)

Where to begin? First off there are many leaders of small chamber groups, and many random Romanian musicians, who in both cases are not renowned enough to merit a wikipedia article. A quick perusal of the article shows that those who constantly update the page are prone to hyperbole to make him seem more famous, for example claiming that Devon Prep's musical productions which he directs are locally known when in fact they are no better known than any other Philadelphia Catholic high school, if at all. A brief lookover of the history of updates makes it clear that this page makes a mockery of wikipedia as on a regular basis students of Dr. Radu drop by to write jokes and outlandish statements about him, only to have them reverted and then another take its place. I see no reason for why he is famous and believe this should be promptly deleted. Vartan84 (talk) 20:13, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. This is a peaceful little page that's been on my watchlist for ages, since it's vandalized by his students once every other month. Frequency of vandalism is not normally considered to be a reason for deletion, and in fact this is a very low frequency. He has two albums listed at allmusic.com that are released on the Lyrichord label. This seems to satisfy the requirements for notability under
    WP:MUSIC, so I'm not sure where you got the technical term 'godforsaken' that you used in the edit summary. No evidence has been offered that God is displeased with him. I'm not in a position to evaluate the 'Grand Officer of Cultural Merit' offered by Romania. Since no reference for that claim is provided, perhaps it should be removed from the article. But the record releases seem to establish notability. The Lyrichord label doesn't have its own article but it's referred to in 16 other Wikipedia articles. EdJohnston (talk) 20:28, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply
    ]
You are misrepresenting my points. Constant vandalizing is obviously not a reason for deletion, but it's clear that this page is used as one big joke by his students and that they constantly use unsupported hyperbolic statements as a reason to keep it. Also your logical leap of "a few other people who have released an album with Lyrichord have wikipedia pages, therefore all people who have released anything on Lyrichord are automatically famous" is a fallacy. Not all Lyrichord-releasers are created equal or equally famous, and as mentioned below it is hardly a major label to begin with, hardly complying with the wikirules as you say it does. Vartan84 (talk) 21:14, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I'm responding to the issue of whether Lyrichord ought to be taken seriously as a record label. Note this wording from
WP:MUSIC, when discussing notability of a performer: Has released two or more albums on a major label or one of the more important indie labels (i.e. an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable). According to its website, Lyrichord has existed since 1950, so it meets the requirement of 'more than a few years.' Having a roster of performers, many of which are notable, seems to be satisfied by this list of musicians who have Wikipedia articles, and thus may be considered notable, and have works published by Lyrichord: Verna Gillis, Alejandro Planchart, Liang Tsai-Ping, Ephat Mujuru, Shafaatullah Khan, Laxmi Ganesh Tewari, Colin Turnbull, The Jolly Boys and Guilherme Franco. EdJohnston (talk) 22:34, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply
]
It should be noted that most of those artists' articles are either stubs or contain paragraphs and paragraphs worth of unsourced claims. It makes one wonder whether Lyrichord itself isn't creating these pages for its artists, which would constitute a gross disregard of wikipolicies. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.232.5.144 (talk) 23:02, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. The guidelines state two or more records released by a renowned / reputable label. Lyrichord is hardly such a label. The article should at least be revised, and if nothing else, the claims that lack citations (most of them) should be deleted, as well as the overly dramatic statements involving Devon Prep. Once all of those things are deleted, we'll hardly be left with any article at all, so why keep it up? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 64.2.129.155 (talk) 20:46, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Feeling encouraged by the dialog here, I removed some promotional statements from the article. I removed the note about the 'Grand Officer of the Cultural Merit' of Romania, since it's unsourced and is anyway not an award documented in Wikipedia. I wouldn't mind if his work was evaluated on the same basis as other classical musicians, but it would take some research to check how others are treated. Having 12 CDs released should count for something, and recognition within the relevant circle should be considered, though I don't know who else is in that circle. Determining that would take actual research. I agree that the status of Lyrichord as a label makes a difference to
WP:MUSIC, so that would take still more research. EdJohnston (talk) 01:25, 19 March 2008 (UTC).[reply

The links you gave to other Lyrichord artists is hardly compelling. I had actually checked them myself when this first came up and found most of them to not really belong on wikipedia either. One actually has a notion that the profile was added by the subject's son, another is just a huge listing of songs and recordings without any real information, and all of them are without citations just like Mr. Radu's (I mean Dr. Sir Maestro Count Grand Duke Superstar the Great). What I think is funniest is how the person you are debating with and who first questioned the famous status of this person is a former student of Mr. Radu's and knows him personally. Meanwhile you apparently have no apparent connection to him and yet are defending his being kept on wikipedia vociferously. Not to accuse you of anything, but if you have any connection to the subject I think it bears admitting now for the sake of fairness- especially with so many of his former students running around here. I just don't understand why someone with no connection would have been keeping close watch over this page for a high school music teacher with a couple of Lyrichord CDs. Just sayin'.

For the record I have no connection to Mr. Radu. I didn't even know he was a recorded conductor before this AfD.
