This is not a minor issue. This case is about western tourists that are being detained under archaic and abused laws in foreign countries. Cat Le-Huy is a prominent enough figure to attract attention from media outlets (show in links from the article and much more; google his name). He's had numerous urine tests and other tests on the .0001g hashish(actually dirt) that was found in his backpack. Do you wonder why there are no results? This information needs to be shared with the world! It's not about him, it's about the issue at hand and his part in it!

Delete a church parish with a redlink parish church; by-and-large, many Christian religions divide territories into parishes where those who live in a particular parish are expected to worship at the church assigned to the parish. These divisions are not inherently notable and overlap so that in the same place in England you could be in one civil parish, one Roman Catholic parish, one Anglican parish, a LDS stake, and perhaps other denominations' areas.

I can't believe that this page hasn't been deleted already. It's clearly enough of a vandalism/spam/OR/vanity magnet that it has had to be fully protected. There are six references, some of dubious reliability, for over fifty gangs, many of which are redlinked, some are not even linked at all. There is no clearly-defined inclusion criterion - there is no clear distinction as to whether extinct gangs are to remain, as the lead suggests, or be removed, as the history shows has happened regularly. All in all, this article provides precious little benefit to the encyclopedia, while tying up admin time with ludicrous {{

editprotected}} requests on the talk page. Happy‑melon 22:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

  • Weak keep "Listcruft" is a meaningless term meaning one does not like a particular list; being a vandalism target is not ground or deletion--we can deal quite effectively with vandals. The presence of most of the items is documented by the information in the WP articles as for other lists; the others should be documented or removed. The content reasonable includes past gangs--notability is permanent. If people want to turn it into a list of present day gangs, the talk page is after all the place to discuss it. DGG (talk) 01:18, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I*Keep Considering that each blue link represents a gang that has its own article already, it makes perfect sense that there would be a list that separates the gangs by the nature of their membership-- African-American, Asian, Hispanic. I don't get the argument that it's vandalism or vanity; although the argument could be made that it works better as a category, I think this is preferable for navigation purposes.

I tagged this article for speedy deletion two weeks ago. Unbeknownst to me, the article was recreated later the same day, and was immediately tagged {{notability}} and {{primary sources}}. The creator removed these tags almost immediately, but there was no follow-up from the tagger. Earlier today, the creator left a note on my talk page, written in bad French, telling me that I had no business requesting the deletion of an article on a subject I know nothing about. I may not know much about cache software, but I sure know that this article is written like an ad, not to mention that the notability concerns have not been addressed. Delete. Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 21:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am yet unfamiliar with all wiki precedure I may have made mistakes. The unfortunate first impression of perceived advertising intention may require the deletion of my article.

After the article was rewriten on a more neutral note, and after adding the context aserting the notability of this software I decided to remove the notability tag.

I must say Blanchardb claim of I using BAD french were unfortunate as I did my best to address him in his native language.

I must also agree that Improvement over microsoft readyboost was inacurate. As I am not an expert of the exact inneer functioning of neither these software. The only improved feature I am sure of is the use of multiple caching devices, A huge lack in msft readyboost that could be asserted by anyone running windows vista and not solely a Msft representative as sugested.

I have no financial interest at all even less in eBoostr, all I can say as a Semiconductor representative is that this is a key software (XP type) as the nand memory market had planned supply for higher adoption of Windows Vista and it`s readyboost funtionality requiring nand. Also that in the fist place this caching technology was even more required for older / lower end PCs that would be better of with XP`s lower memory requirement.

ADD vs AD$ ... I must also notice my immense frustration in Blanchardb admission of "may not know much about cache software, but I sure know that this article is written like an ad". That make me ask "how much else can he know about AD$ on this subject ?"

It may look like an ad to you because the wiki newly created page is important to you but to my knowledge it`s not a notable yet mainstream channel with notable advertising.

Now if I get a litle crazy : Wikipedia fundraising was blantant advertising of fiat currency symbols, and yes I added this article so it`s an AD(D) writen as such. --Transisto (talk) 00:29, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. The reviews listed as references establish notability, I think. --Eastmain (talk) 00:56, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: The only problem is, that the only references throughout the article is a non-linked document. The non-linked document is non-verifiable and the information listed cannot be determined as accurate. Third party reviews (by a computing or technology magazine, essay, or web-article, not a blog, manufacturer's website, or personal website) are needed to determine notability. The reviews should be added to the sentences they deal with. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 00:59, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment The POV section that I objected to has been edited out. If this software's notability can be shown (that is, if it can be shown to be a moderately serious competitor to its stated Microsoft "equivalent", not in terms of features but rather in terms of notoriety), then I will be glad to withdraw my nomination. Even something that hints to a 1% market share would be enough, considering the size of the competitor. --Blanchardb-Me•MyEars•MyMouth-timed 01:22, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    ]
  • Delete and reformat. This software claim is not referenced and can only be by someone with Windows Xp plus an Internet connection who have 5 min to install the demo. I doubt such a person would ever be found.......

Ps: Stop criticizing reference as this is mostly a notability meter decision. You could delete the part you can't find reference on. but is this a Nand caching for Xp or not ? ... find a notable verifiable xp user reference for yourself !!! google has bout 403,000 result for eboostr . Personally I have no doubt on my memories of having tested this software...

And please for my personal interest could someone point me to some drawback other than disk space and indexing time of having article of lesser notability ?

Ebooster does have many results in Google, however, most are unusable as sources. I did a quick search earlier and could not find any that could help improve the article. Also, the references help determine the notability of the article. If the references are useless or of little help, then the notability of the article does not improve. ~QuasiAbstract (talk/contrib) 15:05, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Weak delete The sources in the article are either primary sources or passing mentions, and don't establish
    notability. A quick gsearch shows lots of very short reviews of the software exist -- I am not familiar enough with the sites involved to determine if they are reliable sources that are independent of the subject. (And a note to Blanchardb - I am the tagger, and I had this article on a list to follow up on in a couple of weeks, which I am doing now.) --Fabrictramp (talk) 00:11, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

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

Weak delete: there doesn't seem to be a lot of support for the concept out there, and this article borders on original research, given that it's sourced to the main editor's website. I'm willing to withdraw if it's more widespread than it looks at the moment. uɐɔlnʌɟoʞǝɹɐs 19:13, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • None of it is original research - except perhaps the demo tune. The CPS concept including the hexany was developed by Erv Wilson and is used by many composers - see the composer link for examples. My contribution is that I made a java applet to make it easy for people to explore the hexany by clicking on it in a web page. That's why I linked to my web site. I thought my hexany phrase transformations would also be of interest as a demonstration of the symmetries of the hexany - but perhaps the Gene Ward Smith transformations I use to make the tune from the initial seed phrase would count as original research by him, as I don't know if he has published them or not. Probably he hasn't. Robertinventor (talk) 22:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I've deleted the demo tune, as I think it could be considered to be original research because of the use of the Gene Ward Smith transformations, since I don't think they are currently published anywhere. Robertinventor (talk) 22:25, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Perhaps one could do that fairly easily. Since the hexany is the "first interesting" CPS as the one with least notes, after the triad, tetrad or pentad - perhaps the existing article with a bit of reworking could be an intro to CPS using the method of starting the exposition with a "typical" example of the concept. Could move it to CPS, and redirect Hexany to it, rather than vice versa. My own experience is mainly with the hexany, since I made the hexany models and have also composed a few (short demo type) pieces for it - I've also made a couple of dekany java models and a pentadekany, but not attempted the eikosany, and not attempted compositions in any of those myself. So others would be more appropriate to write anything that needs to be said about those if the article were to be expanded a bit. But I can modify the article as is to make it a starting point for a possibly more complete exposition of CPS later on. Start it something like:

"In music theory, Erv Wilson's Combination Product Sets provide a method of constructing just tonation scales with small numbers of notes with large numbers of consonant chords, and a high degree of symmetry under permutation of the factors" - then continue " The first "interesting" example of a CPS is the hexany", or something like that, probably exposition of all that could be improved - and then rest of the article much as before.

  • Comment - Chiropractic is too long, and that the seemingly endless, unbroken, repetitive, and boring "scientific inquiries into chiropractic care" section was all but guaranteed to make any reader lose interest in the article. I don't care if we heavily truncate it, formally reserve an article for it (and not criticism), leave it as it is, or find some fourth solution, but moving it back into Chiropractic - which is still too long - is really no option at all. Personally? I'd have a content fork for "Scientific Inquiries into Chiropractic Care" and include a section for criticism of chiro in the Chiropractic article. --Hyperbole (talk) 19:20, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Reply - I give a crap! ;-) I think your suggestion is a fine one and one worth undertaking. However, first - in my eyes - we need to delete "Chiropractic care: Research and Criticism" so we can start over with the "Scientific Inquiries into Chiropractic Care" article you are suggesting. Anyhow, if you are irritated, I suggest taking a WikiBreak, but I for one would hate to lose your sharp insights and helpful edits. --

  • Delete per nom. I also viewed this as an experiment and wow it didn't take long to POVFORK... The majority of the article is merely cut/copy and paste from other articles so its rudundant in that regard too. I suggest delete and the science stuff cut from the chiropractic article be rewritten and added back to the chiro article.--Hughgr (talk) 19:23, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as well. It seems that a particular editor has ran with the article in question has ties to quackwatch and stephen barrett. Not only that, I find that his references are generally very poor and contain significant OR. Indeed, I can almost trace back the same passage verbatim to all the references he quotes. I think that we can truncate the scientific section as well and perhaps add a critiques section, but I would bet that tons of anti-chiropractic propanganda that is not veriable nor based on research papers would sneak its way in there and spiral out of control. I'm all for suggestions though.
PS: Hyperbole, I think you're doing a good job; but as I am on 'probation' right now I have to pick and choose my edits carefully for the next week or so.

This article references a proposed airline with an largely unrealistic business model. Also, the only citation actually redirects to another Wikipedia article. The page on Shannon Airport references the airline and only gives a start date of "starting soon." Also, one of the chief contributors, user Monbro, has a troubled history on Wikipedia with numerous other articles proposed for deletion in the past. As an aside, his user page simply says "Your mom." Aaporter 87 (talk) 18:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Calpernia Addams

Calpernia Addams (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Subject is a reality television star of questionable notability who does not wish inclusion in Wikipedia, whose personal safety and quality of life are negatively impacted by inclusion. Kindly acknowledging her wishes will not substantially diminish Wikipedia's usefulness. Calperniaaddams (talk) 06:24, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment there are reliable sources that cover this person but I don't know the process when a subject puts her own article for AfD. Travellingcari (talk) 18:48, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment: That was my issue as well - normally I'd be inclined to say keep outright (it is a good article), but maybe we could create a "protected stub" or something? I actually would NOT question the notability, but apparently the subject does. Biggest concern I have is that if we delete, it sets a precedent - couldn't anyone then ask to have their article removed? Duncan1800 (talk) 20:55, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • keep for now. While I appreciate the authors concern, and per current understanding of
    WP:BLP, subject requested deletions of highly marginally notable people may be warranted I don't think that it should be done in this case. The subject is a willing public figure. As I have explained on earlier deletion discussions it is unreasonable for willing public figures to request that articles about them be deleted. In this case, it is even more unreasonable given that the subject has published an autobiography and has a website for self-promotion/publicity/activism at http://www.calpernia.com. The nomination also ignores the activism that the subject has taken part in which makes it much more problematic to delete than if this were simply an entertainement indivual. JoshuaZ (talk) 21:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply
    ]
  • Keep. JoshuaZ is spot on. In the past, we have performed courtesy BLP deletions of marginally notable persons who have not sought publicity voluntarily. Clearly, this is not the case here: Ms. Addams is sufficiently notable and is actively promoting herself. I fully understand that Ms. Addams has privacy concerns regarding her birth name, but deletion of this article is not the answer. A post has been made at the BLP Noticeboard, and I have encouraged her to participate in that discussion. — Satori Son 22:34, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Obvious notability (subject of documentary and television series). If there are BLP/privacy issues, let them be addressed appropriately within the article. --Dhartung | Talk 23:04, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep She is a professional activist as well as actress, which makes it difficult to see any legitimate reason to delete the article; there might however, be good reason for some editing. and re-emphasis.DGG (talk) 01:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I could have understood if, in the past, the subject had wanted to have the article about her deleted in order to maintain her privacy. But once the subject agreed to be the focus of a reality television show, the idea that she should be kept out of the encyclopedia to maintain her privacy should have gone by the wayside. See Miami Herald, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Kansas City Star. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 01:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I vote keep for the reasons above. (Everything in wikipedia is already public record. All we do here is compile it in one place.) There is also an issue as of now of this persons identity. How do we really know they are who they claim to be?--Hfarmer (talk) 04:12, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. If the subject of the article does not wish to be included (and the identity may be verified), I would vote for delete. Although we're working to be encyclopedic in documenting historical events, we can't forget that peoples' lives can and are effected by what's on the net (including Wiki entries). We should honor her request if the nominating user's identity is definitively established.BWH76 (talk) 11:30, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment. I'm just a single tiny person, and my article doesn't say anything bad about me, or anything that I disagree with. I'm not "demanding" deletion, which would be useless. But it's like discovering that your next door neighbor has erected an enormous dry-erase board with a detailed breakdown of your activities in the years you've lived next door, with an invitation for anyone in the neighborhood to add or change whatever they like. Legal? Maybe, but incredibly creepy. While I enjoy being an entertainer, and I was in the news for various events, and I'm on the web here and there, I'm calmly, plainly saying that I do not want to be in Wikipedia specifically. I know several Wikipedians, and I know that it becomes a pastime that they enjoy and to which they devote a lot of time. At times, I've seen it almost become an obsession, and if something like that is in play here, I hope that whomever can pull out of the conviction that every webpage must be filled with correctly sourced and formatted text enough to realize that there are consequences to this hobby. Surely, everyone began their time here as someone devoted to simply maintaining a useful resource. But when Wikipedia becomes a horde of judging, faceless strangers voting on what to do with me, who I can't fight or influence, it really disturbs me. I'm asking politely, not to remove some embarrassing exposé article on me, but just to leave me out of your project. Take down the creepy giant dry-erase board detailing my life. This isn't the Enquirer or TMZ.com, people who make a living from writing about others who'd prefer to be left out of their publications. When I was a child, one had to be dead or have their footprints on the moon to be in the encyclopedia. If Wikipedia is a benign and positive resource with intent to make the world a better place, then I would hope that my wishes to be left alone by it could be respected. If there is some other purpose for Wikipedia, such as to punish me for being on a reality show (Metropolitan90?) by denying my essentially insignificant-to-Wikipedia request, or to generally punish wrongdoers by nailing a list of their sins to the town hall door (as seems to be an argument for keeping the OJ Simpson type articles, which I won't defend or join since it's on an entirely different level), Wikipedia becomes a much more sinister seeming entity to me. I ask again, please, just leave me alone and out of it. Must I be bullied by people to the end of my days via every newly available medium? Write me at [email protected] if anyone doubts that I am "me". --calperniaaddams (talk) 04:24, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • I just thought of a couple more angles to look at this from. 1.) Not only is all of the information in Wikipedia public record but it is hyperlinked to the wikipedia. The way most of us find those links...Google and Yahoo. The sum total of what's here on our "creepy whiteboard" (I am trying not to feel slighted by that by the way) could be found in a list of search results. The other angle is that if what she want's to keep secret is that she's trans. It's a little late for that. --Hfarmer (talk) 15:57, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. Per JoshZ, et al. Wikipedia isn't a place for public attacks or defamation, but Calpernia certainly is a notable figure, both in activism & television. I am totally a fan, by the way. I'm sorry it doesn't comply with your personal wishes, but there are better motives to keep Wikipedia going than money-- hopefully, that makes us better than TMZ & suck ilk. Best. --mordicai. (talk) 23:20, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep The timing of Calpernia’s AFD request, and her basis for it, are curiously ironic, since her request coincidences with the debut of a television show on the LOGO network that features her. Ms. Addams’ request implies she may be unaware that making such a request only creates yet more permanent, public, information by and about her, since the AFD process will live on permanently with the article about her, as do the historical versions of the article about her.
IMO, and with all due respect to
Deep Stealth Productions
, acting as production consultant in the film “Soldier’s Girl”, her appearance in “Transamerica”, at GLAAD media awards, her PR oriented personal web site, her acting and stage performances, and so on, are all the actions of a public person. A person who desired privacy would have made radically different choices after her experiences in 1999.
However, IMO, the article about Ms. Addams should be edited to remove such phrases as: “birth name unknown” at the beginning of the article; “born and raised a boy”, and any other similar phrases that she and other trans-women likely believe are dismissive of their female status and identity. I also think that the article about her should be reorganized, with separate sections that describe the phases of her life more clearly.
Since there are many articles about trans-people in Wikipedia, maybe it is time to establish a set of editorial standards for writing about trans-people. IMO, those editorial standards should include the omission of “birth names”, since inclusion of them is usually done to embarrass and diminish their current status. However, IMO, for example, it is appropriate to note in such articles that someone has received surgery, and even from whom. Information like that clarifies the physiological and legal status of the subject. Information about the surgeons, the whom, helps to clarify that people receive such surgery from reputable and highly qualify medical professionals, not in the “back alleys” often portrayed in media such as films.

  • Delete You do not have the right to damage another persons life, reputation, public image or anything else under any circumstance. That is the role of the courts and not the mob - no matter how well intentioned. Claiming some greater good is interesting, but the argument that there is a greater good in allowing people to have control over their public image is also significant, particularly in this day and age.The Last Heretic (talk) 00:24, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: In a sense, you're right, TLH. And that's exactly what
WP:BLP is about. But there's nothing in Addams' article that in any way damage's her life, reputation, public image, or anything else.

I agree that she has received coverage, but the sources cited only look good until you actually click through them. The top result is an obit for a different Martha Samuelson. The remaining sources aren't exactly current; with the exception of a short BusinessWeek interview from 2002, most of those contain single statements that she made in some press releases (and at least one requires paid access). I'm not an expert on
WP:BIO by any means - if a mention in a NY Times article from 2005 fulfills the requirement, then so be it. However, I don't think that's in the spirit of the guideline. If we add every CEO to Wikipedia that gave a single quote to a newspaper, then we'd be overwhelmed with superfluous bio's. And some might argue that the 400 person company she's running (full disclosure: I've nominated that article for deletion as well) isn't notable, either.

Oxford Round Table

Oxford Round Table (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD)

This is a procedural renomination of Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oxford Round Table so that any closing administrator may be more able to determine the consensus. Personally, I would delete per Guy's original nomination, seen below. Will (talk) 16:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Round Table (ORT) is a minor business venture that involves a conference organised by an American company but convened in an Oxford college. Some Oxonians are incensed by this, and there has been a small amount of brouhaha on forums as a result, but the sources do not indicate that this is actually notable or significant, only that it exists. A short piece in the TES, for example, but that does not establish the supposed notability of the company. Most of the sources are either primary (business registration data) or not independent (the company's own website); much of the article reads as orignial research (e.g. the linking of the for-profit and non-profit companies, and the statement that they are members of the same family, which has no source; it's not an especially uncommon surname); and most of the substantive edits, including initial creation, have been made by

single purpose accounts on one side or other of the external dispute, most of them heavily conflicted. Add to this a new twist: a complaint to the Foundation, discussing legal action being taken against one of the activists pushing in the direction of criticism and negative material. In my opinion, this article is more trouble than it is worth, given the marginal notability of the subject and the fact that the article itself exists, per present evidence, almost exclusively as a battleground for an off-wiki dispute. Guy (Help!

  • Keep per
    WP:DR. The AfD was inappropriate because the problem is a content dispute. One side of that dispute is now advocating deletion, and is using sockpuppets. One outside editor, Tony Sidaway, has already created a good new start on the "controversy" section, and this article can clearly be improved (perhaps through the dispute resolution process) but certainly does not need to be deleted. The dispute thread at the Chronicle website has now been going on for over a year with over 1000 posts, the overwhelming majority of whom are academics, showing it is clearly noteworthy and controversial in academia. If you look at the archived AfD page, removing all the sockpuppets and SPAs (including me), there does not appear to be a consensus either way.Academic38 (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2008 (UTC) — Academic38 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

  • Strong Keep. I don't have much patience for this reprocessing in the first place. Instead of flipping a coin, I decided to do a brief analysis using alexa:
3 month average Percent of global Internet users
  • oxfordroundtable.com = 0.000085%
  • theskulls.net = -----------0.00002% -- (online site of the 2000 feature film, the skulls, featuring Joshua Jackson and Craig T. Nelson, about a secret society.)
  • wikipedia.org = ----------8.558% -- (includes all languages)
8.558% divided by 2,218,000 english language articles = 0.00000385% "(figure does not include all languages)
The average english language article is visited by less than half of 0.00000385% of global internet users
0.000085% /
0.00000385%
= 22.078
conclusions
  • The oxford round table article is worth 4 times more than an article about a major motion picture.
  • The oxford round table article is worth ~22(x2) times more than the average english wikipedia article.
This may sound unbelievable, but it's worth thinking about.

For the record, I believe that this did not deserve a second nomination. DGG, and a few others made significant good arguments for this article. --BETA 18:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Reiterating a point made on the previous discussion: the articles are about the participation of the individuals in the conference. The reason these individuals are considered worth writing about (by reporters/editors) is that participation in the conference is considered significant. This says more about the conference than about the individuals. Acknowledged "SPA" here. Nomoskedasticity (talk) 22:02, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to
policy
a subject does not have to me the exclusive subject of a published article, it can be about anything as long as there is significant info about this.
  • The THE source is obviously about the controversy surrounding the event, so no need to explain that.
  • The Auburn Plainsman articles is about an attendee and headlines with Dean of students to participate in Oxford Round Table discussion. It goes on to state The Round Table has been meeting since 1989 and comprises of people from across the globe. This year there will be 45 participants from all over the world. “Most of our participants are sent invitations on the nomination basis,” Karen Price, assistant coordinator for the Oxford Round Table, said. “After every session of the Round Table we ask our participants who have attended that year to nominate others in their field or outside their field. We will send (the nominee) an invitation if we are doing something that fits that field of interest.” and Price said the idea for the Oxford Round Table was Kern Alexander, director of the Oxford Round Table. “We are the Oxford Round Table and we’re not officially affiliated with the University of Oxford; however, we have a wonderful relationship with the university, and we stay at a number of colleges each spring and summer for our different Round Tables,” Price said. “Our director and founder attended Oxford and thought it would be a wonderful place to get people together and talk about very current issues.” Price said the alumni of the Round Tables are active in the nomination process. “We have a pretty large alum that are active in nominating others,” Price said. “There are repeat visitors to the round table as well.”
  • The Arlington Heights Daily Herald headlines with COD professor invited to Oxford round table, more may be available but requires subscription.
  • The NY Daily Record says Matthew J. Fusco, Esq., a partner at Chamberlain D'Amanda Oppenheimer & Greenfield, has been invited to attend the renowned Oxford Round Table in Oxford, England from March 24-29, 2002. He will be one of 40 invitees to attend the discussion, which will focus on civil rights and employment discrimination. and The Oxford Round Table first met in 1989 to promote human advancement and understanding through the improvement of education. Over the past 12 years, the sessions have expanded to include topics beyond education. Prominent leaders from the public and private sectors gather together in a think-tank environment to share their ideas and concerns regarding the designated theme. Past participants include ministers of education, legislators, governors, business leaders, university presidents and professors, lawyers and other professionals from countries across the globe.
  • Salt Lake City's Desert News says The Oxford Round Table met for the first time in 1989 to discuss contemporary educational policy with the goal of promoting human advancement and understanding through the improvement of education.

speakers go where they will get paid or receive publicity or a sales opportunity for their latest book, or fancy a day out, is what I usually say in AfD's when people try to say speakers confer notability. Merkinsmum 00:23, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

comment Merkinsmum, when you see only 4 hits you need to go on to click "all dates," then you get 130-odd hits. I am not sure I agree that the conference is notable because of the more famous people who attended, but simply by the huge volume of academic attenders (25 conferences this year, with planned 35 participants each, @$2940, which would produce about $2.5 million revenue).Academic38 (talk) 01:36, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I think that some of the comments above are missing the point about the Google News hits. It's not that notability is being claimed as inherited from notable invitees, it's that many newspaper editors have considered as newsworthy the fact that people (who may or may not themselves be notable) have attended, or been invited to attend, these conferences.
    Phil Bridger (talk) 12:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply
    ]
The point for notability is whether a newspaper article is about oxford round table itself, or if it is merely mentioned in passing. Which is what is actually happening in most of the articles. Almost all of the articles are not substantially about ORT. Merkinsmum 16:51, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
That is incorrect. Please take the time to read
synthesis. This makes them non-trivial. --neonwhite user page talk 19:45, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

That is incorrect. As far as I am aware, only one article in a reputable source is actually about ORT. You do not need me to say that source's opinion of it :) As such, having only one source is usually questionable at an AfD, and this is only a critical one at that. Merkinsmum 22:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
No, there are multiple sources (detailed above for your convenience) these include THE, Arlington Heights Daily Herald, NY Record, Salt Lake City Desert News. Add this the multitude of university sources we have a pretty wide variety of sources. --neonwhite user page talk 01:03, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Here is part of an article in The Times of November 1, 1993. I think it provides a second strong article:
Russia is not alone in recognising the importance of links between business and education. Recently, more than 30 policy makers and experts from countries as diverse as South Africa, Norway, Ethiopia and the Philippines met to pool their experience of education-business links. The 1993 Oxford Round Table on Education Policy was attended by education ministers, academics, state government representatives from America, agencies such as the World Bank and the Prince of Wales Business Leaders Forum, as well as multinationals, including the Apple Corporation, Boeing, BP and Honeywell.
The strongest theme of the conference was the recognition that the central issue confronting all nations is how to respond to the new global economy. Inevitably, countries start from different points. America is a role model and pioneer, where the place of business in the classroom is regarded as natural.
However, representatives from developed nations were markedly less optimistic about the future than those from the developing world. The confidence and vitality at the forum of countries such as the Congo and the Philippines was founded on the recognition that the creation of a well-educated workforce is the key to leaping forward.
Dr Dneprov described the system in the former Soviet Union as having been grey and black. His task now was to introduce colour to the map. He regards the international business community as a vital resource on his palette.
The author [Richard Margrave] was a participant in the 1993 Oxford Round Table. He is head of press and public relations for the Association of Teachers and Lecturers, and a former shadow cabinet adviser on education policy.Academic38 (talk) 04:11, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Although Miss. Marin is undoubtedly a highly talented individual and I am sure will eventually warrant a wikipedia article, I think this article is somewhat premature. She has not yet appeared with a major opera company, instead only at festivals. She also has only performed one major role. She has also not won any major competitions or participated in any significant Young Artist Programs. In short, she is just at the beginning of her career and has not even begun to truly establish herself in the field. At this point she is just one of many up and coming talents who may or may not achieve greatness. I'm not expecting all articles on opera singers to be on ones who are highly famous or sung at the Metropolitan Opera or recorded tons of CDs but I do think that the performer should have at least performed a role with an opera company at some point. A handful of festival appearances and a few magazine articles and a tv appearance that, lets face it, was gotten through family connections hardly seems to me to be noteworthy enough.

Comment Although you don't explicitly use the word here, I'm assuming that you have nominated this article for deletion on the grounds that the subject is not
notable. If that is the case, then it is important to separate the concept of notability as defined by Wikipedia's guidelines and other concepts such as length and breadth of career, whether or not the singer got engagements because of family connections, whether they were praised or panned by the critics. I'm going to quote here the relevant part from the notability guidelines for musicians
:
A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, etc.) is notable if it meets any one (my emphasis) of the following criteria:
  1. It has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable.
In what way is this not the case here? Both her debut solo recital in 2004 and her role debut in La sonnambula in 2007 received multiple coverage in the main Spanish newspapers. (She was also covered in the regional Spanish press, e.g. El Diario Montañés, but I only referenced to the national 'newspapers of record' in the article.) She has also been featured on the cover of a well-known (in Italy) specialist publication - Il Corriere del Teatro. I'm sure if I had access to the main hard-copy opera publications in Spain such as Ópera Actual and Ritmo, even more reviews of her performances would be found.
Note that in past deletion discussions for singers at the start of their careers, such as this one and this one, the primary issue was the complete absence of "multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable". In the absence of that, the other facts you've mentioned, e.g. won a major competition, has sung in a notable opera house or festival or with a notable orchestra, recordings with a major record company, etc. were looked at and in those cases were also found to be lacking. In other words they were alternative criteria to be used if the multiple independent coverage one could not be met. They weren't (and aren't) requirements that must be met in addition to multiple independent coverage. Best, Voceditenore (talk) 08:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Diletta Rizzo Marin has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published articles and reviews, albeit all in Spain and Italy. See the references provided in the article. The Festival Santander is a prominent music festival in Spain. The fact that she debuted so young in a major role (Amina in La sonnambula) was sufficiently notable to generate coverage both before the prima and in reviews afterwards in the Spanish national press, e.g. ABC, El Mundo, El País. Likewise she has appeared on the cover [21] of the October 2007 issue of Il Corriere del Teatro, which is a long established and respected specialist print publication in Italy. In addition to her solo recording (on a minor Italian label), the concert in which she sang with her father at the 2005 Festival Santander was broadcast by RTVE and issued by them as a CD. Obviously, she's not as notable as Joan Sutherland, but in my view, she's notable enough for an article here. Voceditenore (talk) 16:04, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I know that her article in the German Wikipedia was deleted on 21 January 2008, but I don't know in what shape it was then, and I can't find any discussion on its deletion.

    The contents of this article are now covered in least squares, linear least squares and non-linear least squares, so there is no need for a separate article. Petergans (talk) 09:14, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • strong keep weighted least squares is a very common technique in statistics, with about half a milloin google hits. This page provides a handy place for people to look for information on this specific topic. In the other articles the mention of weighting is slight and hidden in the text. The other articles present a move universal framework which WLS is part of. As WLS is such a well used technique it deserves its own article to concentrate on that particular aspect. --Salix alba (talk) 16:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • keep This should be handled as a merge suggestion, not a deletion. If the content is no longer needed, then the page should become a redirect or something analogous to a disambiguation page. A deletion would destroy the page history. The topic of this article is inherently notable, and the current content is good. As far as the merge proposal goes, I would vote merge since the current content is completely subsumed in the other articles, but I am open to the current article being expanded and the material in the other articles merged INTO this one, and the other articles using the {{main}} article template. JackSchmidt (talk) 20:03, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep where it is and improve. While the article on
      nonlinear least squares and others do have some information on weighted least squares, the topic is important enough to have its own article rather than forcing the reader to read bits and pieces through other articles. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:49, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    • Redirect or merge to least squares. The weighting is not mathematically or statistically "significant". (Sorry about the pun, but not very.) Perhaps a different article could discuss the choice of weighting factors, if that discussion would make least squares too long. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 23:47, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Redirect Just to clarify my proposal: I did intend that the page become a redirect to least squares. WP-inexperienced! Petergans (talk) 11:18, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      I don't think anyone actually wants the article "deleted", so this AfD could possibly be closed. I don't see anything which shouldn't be in least squares, though, and it's not that big. — Arthur Rubin | (talk) 22:14, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    I have now added a section on weighted least squares to least squares. This contains all the information that is currently in weighted least squares and more. That article is now redundant and can be made into a redirect. OK? Petergans (talk) 12:25, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    There appears to be consensus for redirect to least squares. Administrator action needed. Petergans (talk) 08:50, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Not so fast. :) You need to wait for 5 days, then an administrator will decide what to do. There should be more information at
    WP:AfD on policy. Oleg Alexandrov (talk) 15:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    And if redirect were consensus, which is not clear, it would be done by normal editing, not requiring admin intervention. The only thing we would need one for is to delete the article at weighted least squares, which should not be done: we should at least have the redirect. Septentrionalis PMAnderson 17:14, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Keep and do not merge. The detailed treatment of WLS, and its statistical justification, is better spun out in a separate article like this one, than jammed into already overloaded articles on unweighted least squares. Better to keep as a spin off, linked from a short summary and a {{main}} in the more general articles. Jheald (talk) 14:47, 17 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

      ]
    Comment - inclusion in the NRHP doesn't necessarily meet the criteria for notability at
    WP:NN. There's a requirement "that sources address the subject directly in detail, and no original research is needed to extract the content" - most NRHP entries are so skimpy as to be virtually useless. Also "number and nature of reliable sources needed varies depending on the depth of coverage and quality of the sources. Multiple sources are generally preferred" - NRHP is a poor quality source. NRHP selection criteria have been heavily criticised and certainly seem to be loose, indiscriminate and often partisan. For example the entry for V. R. Coss House simply states that it was "built for a locally prominent businessman" - i.e. quite possibly someone who isn't notable enough for a WP article! So NRHP can certainly imply notability but it doesn't of itself confer it. andy (talk) 16:49, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    Comment - alright, I'll agree with that. I still think NRHP should weight heavily enough to request additional citation before an AfD Nom.

    Comment - HERE is the LA state review board's assessment of the historical significance of the house. It cites NRHP reason as being "locally significant in the area of architecture within the context of Evangeline Parish", then expounds. I know the next argument will be that local significance does not notability make, so I'll see if I can find any media or print coverage. --BizMgr (talk) 17:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    That's my point. The house could be notable, as many NRHP properties are, but there's no evidence of it. And don't forget that the notable NRHP properties aren't notable because they're on the register - they're on the register because they're notable. andy (talk) 08:37, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Keep - I added some material from on-line NRHP Muptiple Property Submission documents to the
      ManhattanBuilding article. For each of the four, like for all other NRHP sites, there exists a National Register of Historic Places "Inventory/Nomination" or "Registration" document, with accompanying photos, that consists of an inventory of the property, a description of its significance, a summary of history of persons associated with the site, and so on, which is often a 20-30 page document. These are usually written by professional historians and edited by National Park Service NRHP staff. For these 4 sites, the documents are not on-line (the ones I added are different NRHP MPS documents) but may be obtained by request from the NRHP. Any NRHP is notable and its notability can be verified by these documents. Per Oakshade, notability standard for NRHP is high. doncram (talk) 12:54, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    The

    notability guidelines for future films stipulate that a stand-alone article for a film should not be created until a project enters production. This is because many factors such as budget issues, scripting issues, and casting issues can interfere with the project. This film is a case in point; the article reports that shooting was scheduled for late last year, but it is still not under way. The article can be recreated without prejudice when principal photography is confirmed to have begun. Steve T • C 10:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    • Keep we need an article on this, though I am not sure of the title. This has in fact been cited--its one of the well-known examples that can be seen in any citation index. "False citations" perhaps, but I need to see if there is in fact a standard term--it will be in one of Garfield's many essays. The point is that it is not a transcription error in the ordinary sense--its an error from transcribing blindly without thinking about what the references actually is, and therefore evidence of total authorial and editorial carelessness.

    • Keep. It's my opinion that all list entries in a list article should be internal links, thereby living or dying by their own notability. It's certainly true that this list has become a spam magnet, yet the list itself is not doing the spamming. It's a valid topic for a list. I would say prune the external and red links to clean it up, but that's just me. What the list really needs is a dedicated maintainer or two.

    • Keep per those who voted that way (although see below), or Redirect to List of Spider-Man enemies until the character's notability has borne out. I will admit that I have never heard of this character before, but then he is brand new so that has something to do with it. There is something to be said for not biting the newbies, and there is also something to be said for giving a new topic some time before pulling the trigger. Yes, recentism should be avoided on Wikipedia, which is why Redirecting for now might be the better option. With that in mind, be aware that recent Featured Article Through the Looking Glass (Lost) went to AFD when it was first submitted. As far as "there are there are hundreds just like it", this is not only an argument to avoid using in AFD, but it's a bad idea in general because you might unintentionally attract ambitious deletionists to your favorite articles by making statements like that.

    • Redirect to List of Spider-Man enemies. The fact that he's so new is why he doesn't need an article (at least not yet). - JasonAQuest (talk) 22:04, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    There are some articles (like your Silver Racer) that probably should be deleted, but Wikipedia being able to have articles about so many characters is why it is so widely used as a resource. Don't degrade Wikipedia by needlessly deleting articles, help Wikipedia grow into a useful internet entity by letting these articles survive. But your basis for the redirect only on how new he is has no support either. There are characters with significant articles that only had a few appearances but aren't considered for redirect because those issues are old. -Freak104 (talk) 22:15, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    I don't think that removing trivia from Wikipedia degrades it. This character is not notable, and the fact that it is new is why. If an older character featured in an article isn't notable either, then that article should be deleted as well. The problem is that if we give this villain of the month an article, someone will use the same argument you're using now to justify articles about some other villain of the month, making Wikipedia look like The Obsessive-Compulsive Handbook of the Marvel Universe. - JasonAQuest (talk) 23:40, 5 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Removing trivia helps Wikipedia. This isn't trivia. Wikipedia is useful only because it has comprehensive articles of lesser known characters. Characters who make one single appearance and have an article should have their articles deleted, but this character already has notable appearances and they have said he will appear in the future. If we delete this articles and others similar to it, Wikipedia will lose what usefulness it once had. -Freak104 (talk) 00:50, 6 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

We are NOT deleting all the information here, it is just being moved to another more suited place. Everything that is written, and that will be continually added as his appearances come up, will still exist on wikipedia but just on a different page. I have already merged 12 articles into List of Spider-Man enemies without a single word against or an attempted to revert.. the fact of the matter is, if this character had not been in a comic book in the last two months most of you putting keep would not have not cared enough to enter into this discussion. To be truly honest i fall in that category, as you can see at the top, my first instinct was to keep, but if you take time to actually think about it you would soon realize that putting this information in a collective article is far better for a character with no out of universe context. When the time comes and Mister Negative gets recognition in TV shows, computer games, novels or has some significant effect on the Marvel U then it is a simple process to move the article out once again. --- Paulley (talk) 16:52, 7 February 2008 (UTC) (#stepping down from soapbox#)[reply]

    • What does having a neutral point of view have to do with whether an article is notable enough to keep? —Quasirandom (talk) 02:57, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Are you asking me how an encyclopedia written from a neutral point of view determines inclusion standards? And when did a deletion debate become focussed on whether an article was notable enough to keep? I thought it was whether it was within our domain as an encyclopedia. Is this a suitable topic for an encyclopedia? Would this charcater be covered in any encyclopedia? A comics encyclopedia? If the answer is yes, then we should cover the topic. And the answer is yes. This character is likely to be covered in some form of encyclkopedia, and since Wikipedia is not paper that means we do not have to limit ourselves to regurgitating Britannica. I know Wikipedia is not an indiscrimate collection of information, but the intention of that is that we do not cover topics which would not be covered encyclopedically, for example travel reports, plot summaries, dictionary definitions and so on and so forth. It does not apply to anything which contradicts our main purpose, which is being an encyclopedia. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. This article improves that encyclopedia. Therefore we should keep it. Some people may not like it. Some people may not find it to their taste. Some people may point to guidelines which support their view. Others will point to policies which support theirs.

    What is the difference between a list entry and an article? Hiding T 18:51, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Wikipedia is not a guidebook; there does not need to be a separate entry for every concept/character in the Marvel Universe. These pages, at this point in time, are very short and are unlikely to be expanded after their adjoining story arcs, it makes sense to merge them with a list page that covers the broader topic. --- Paulley (talk) 20:07, 9 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    That doesn't address my point. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia. We are not paper. Therefore, what does it matter that some encyclopedic articles are shorter than others? What is the benefit to us as an encyclopedia to gather short articles into a list since we are not made of paper and therefore do not have publication demands made of us. There is no need to limit our page count. Hiding T 18:07, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Why not an article on you? Have you read
      WP:V. If we can do that, it matters little if that is done in a list or in a standalone article. Those are editorial choices which we should not seek to force upon each other, and nor should we suggest that one view is superior to the other. There are merits in both arguments, but for me I believe that a standalone article suits our purpose better than a list in building the encyclopedia. It allows better use of our features and better presentation of the material. Notability is a red herring. Merging is simply a choice. This debate to my mind should be closed as out of process, to be honest. If the nominator is not seeking deletion, they should simply start a merge discussion instead. This is articles for deletion, not articles for discussion. Already the very nomination of this article appears to have driven one editor away. We should not bite each other and we should act in good faith. If the nominator has no wish to see the article deleted, I do not understand how we are in good faith discussing the issue of a merge here. These decisions have consequences, and we need to examine those consequences. What is better, that we discuss matters in a collegiate manner and sometimes accept that there is no agreement and agree to disagree, accepting that at this point in time our solution is not the implemented one, or do we game the system to create the determined goal at the expense of others? Wikipedia is not a battleground. We should not bite each other. This article was created 17 days ago and not once was anything posted to the article talk page. The system appears to have failed here. Wikipedia is not a game. Hiding T 22:39, 10 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    This is articles for deletion, which means we discuss the articles. I reserve the right to be pursueded that merging is a viable option, particularly after the merged TO article has been improved during this AFD. I would also disagree with your conclusion that the system "failed". This AFD is 17 days old, over 3x the normal length, which I personally take as a sign of great faith on the part of the administrators. As to my good faith, if you feel I nominated this article in bad faith, please take administrative action. If being open minded and willing to compromise after hearing both sides of discussion is a violation of policy, I will be happy to plead guilty as charged.

    At no point did I aver you listed this article in bad faith. Further than that, I don't agree with blocking people I am in dispute with. My point is this: AFD should be the last resort, not the first. This article was created and listed for deletion within 17 minutes. There's no discussion on the talk page for other approiaches, no templates applied to the article, this article simply wasn't given a chance. If you truly believe you considered all other options before you came to afd, I'll believe you. But I think that nominating an article for deletion 17 minutes after creation without posting to the talk page on other options, without discussing with the creator or without looking at other options is poor form. You happen to disagree, and that's fine. But the Wikipedia I signed up to wasn't one where deletion was the first resort for solving problems. I happen to believe that we should not bite newcomers.

    Comment The thing is this character has not been seen outside the Spider-Man comics... nor the other minor characters that have been merged with the list.

    Reply - wrong. Merging is a normal editing action, something any editor can do, and as such does not need to be proposed and processed. If you think merging something improves the encyclopedia, you can
    be bold and perform the merge, as described below. Because of this, it makes little sense to object to a merge purely on procedural grounds, e.g. "you cannot do that without discussion" is not a good argument. As i have stated before there were no objection as the characters i merged were a few years old.. if this character had not been in recent comics this disscussion would not be happening. --- Paulley (talk) 17:28, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    • Keep. Major character in Brand New Day storyline. There is more information available than just the small amount that goes into a list, and if we give that complete information, then due to the size of massive size of the Marvel Universe and the Spider-Man supporting cast, including villains, it is infeasible to merge all Spider-Man villains together. I further add that I believe that all major villains for the most popular comic book characters (e.g. Superman, Batman, Spider-Man, X-Men, etc.) are notable. Moreover, if we merge now, this article will almost certainly be recreated within a few weeks as more information continues to be published. Mister Negative isn't a minor character in a one-shot or minor limited series; this is the featured villain of the current storyline of The Amazing Spider-Man, the longest-running and most important Spider-Man title. —Lowellian (reply) 15:09, 14 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    see: http://www.booktv.org/program.aspx?ProgramId=9080&SectionName=Politics&PlayMedia=No

    John Strausbaugh argues that America has become a nation lacking courage and conviction in "Sissy Nation." Mr. Strausbaugh comments on the 2008 election and the influence of a sissified nation when choosing its political leaders.

    While the quoted text mentions Strausbaugh's comments, it is the writer who is using the words "sissified nation" of his/her own accord. This is not a part of an author quote. Other words also in common use "sissification" "sissitude" "World World" and "fundadome" among others. Would it be better to add these or just stick with the more general term from which they arose, which would be "sissy nation?"

      Maples and Calder, Conyers Dill & Pearman and Harney Westwood & Riegels. Offshore law firms are not more notable than any other, but they do tend to be the largest and most important law firms in their respective countries. By the same token that Spanish Town in the British Virgin Islands, a town of 2,000 souls, would be completely non-notable in a larger state, in a small country it is the second largest metropolois and things attain a larger importance only because they exert a larger (even dominant) influence over their respective coutries.

    There have been many different past AfDs on YGO cardsets, and this is no different. If someone could provide the links to those, I'd appreciate it. For now, the rationale is no real-world relevance. JuJube (talk) 02:30, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Delete: Essentially, this is an overly granulated description of a single event: the issuance of a disease card set. The business model for all of these, since Magic, has been to continue to invent characters to sell cards, and therefore the number is set only by the continued existence of the companies. Detailing each and every set is something for a fan or collector site only. We should not want every single baseball card set described, nor every card, and we should not expect that businesses modeled on baseball card collecting to have an article per product.

    • Comment This isn't really an Excel function, it's a project management entity, so including "Excel" in a Google search probably would skew the results to "how-to" pages. A search for "hammock function" by itself brings up some more project management texts. That said, I think a merge to Gantt chart would not be unreasonable, as this is basically a definition. --Canley (talk) 05:08, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    • Comment I, and a number of other people, were asked to change our votes on this one, so I want to explain about notable academic careers: State One. A good beginning PhD will usually have 2 or 3 papers and some miscellaneous publications; s/he will get a job as a post-doc or instructor. Stage Two. If s/he publishes another few peer-reviewed papers or a book, s/he'll be appointed assistant professor at a good research university, to see if s/he will amount to anything. Stage Three: If the papers are it good journals good & widely cited, or there's another good book, this will be recognized by an appointment as an Associate professor with tenure. Stage Four: If excellent publication continues, this will be recognized by the profession, & expressed by his colleagues as appointment as Full Professor, journal editorship, & awards. This stage is notable, as having achieved wide recognition as a leader in the profession. Sometimes the recognition comes at Stage Three, if the work is really important--and there will be some evidence of it, such as major grants. In rare cases it can come at State Two or even Stage One, especially if it happens to attract popular interest. We actually had an instance recently of it being recognized at State Two. This guy is at stage One. DGG (talk) 16:00, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment No one was asked to change their vote. Additionally, that isn't any criteria I've ever seen in a guideline or policy, and certainly not at Wikipedia:Notability (academics). The guy teaches at Harvard, he's been published in two academic journals, his works have been cited by various others, and he has written for a widely read publication (Znet magaine). I don't know about all your stages, but he's clearly notable. I'm not sure the votes have much to do with guidelines here on notability. They seem to be tinged with a hint of extraordinary bias I've not seen often. I don't like seeing false criteria created for what establishes notability, as I don't feel it is in the correct spirit of this community. Furthermore, his work has been cited in more than 15 academic books according to Google Books. I don't think editors are looking at the facts here. This isn't about personal opinions, it is about whether or not this individual meets notability requirements. What you've mentioned, in those stages, are not even requirements.

      I think what DGG mentions is correct and it follows with
      ISI Web of Knowledge) is really small and it can be easily achieved by a PhD student. The number of citation is only 1 from the three publications there, which means his/her h-index is only 1! It's not notable at all for an academician. Dekisugi (talk) 17:08, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

The existence of Practice (learning method) may appear to support having a disambig page, but that page is little more than a dicdef and a list of things that can be practiced, and totally unreferenced.

    • Weak keep as a notable controversy. To start deleting articles because people vandalize them is feeding the vandals. DGG (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • I tend to agree with the substance of DGG's comment. If it's kept or merged is one thing, but once we delete because it's too hard to keep it un-vandalized, then we've lost the war.--Cube lurker (talk) 23:27, 5 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    The article about this engine was early deleted as CSD A7. [45]. This engine is still in development and unimportant/unsignificant. It has still not used in any real game or 3D-product, which were released or are under development. Alex Spade (talk) 17:09, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    Delete. No reliable sources, was deleted with
    CSD A7 before (I checked log..). I used google to search for NeoAxis Engine, but most of the results is mainly blogs, or forums. ClanCC (T / C) 05:46, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply

    Reads like an ad with no encyclopaedic content. Only edits to the article are additions to a trivia section of "Programs aired". Requests for references are ignored while templates requesting clean-up and references get constantly removed. / Mats Halldin (talk) 17:38, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

    To be a little more specific:

    • The article was created by Thewarriorrrr and the only other contributors except myself are anons with IPs 122.162.X.
    • I've spent a month trying to convince this contributor to add a single reference to the article with no success. I even added the single dummy reference there is to show how to use references. The latest response on the talk page was "Those doubting the reliability of the content of this article should search the web and see for themselves how accurate it is."
    • So it seem unlikely the article will ever see any references. I don't live in India, but as far as I can tell this TV channel lacks notability.

    • Delete, I can't find any sources either, and a real Indian TV channel would have them. NawlinWiki (talk) 18:44, 11 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete - You're more patient than I am. Torc2 (talk) 00:28, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete. "Those doubting the reliability of the content of this article should search the web and see for themselves how accurate it is" sounds like "Oh, I'm too lazy to actually put references on this article, so other people should do it for me." Burden of proof is on the person creating the article. TheLetterM (talk) 21:04, 12 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    Keep w/ addition of references. The article will need more, but at the very least, it's sourced (if minimally so). TheLetterM (talk) 21:22, 16 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Delete without prejudice. If sources can be provided at a later date, we can re-create the article then. RFerreira (talk) 19:07, 15 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
