they did not require log in until 900,000 plus people had viewed the threads. and that number is still climbing... we are at 925,576 as of this posting.
to give you an idea... Alexa has some impressive stats on the matter
really that is irrelevant as the actual thread does nothing to illustrate Mr. Wenzel's fame... the other sites do that quite well.
I see no reason why anyone would even suggest to delete this page, it is not an attack page.
If need be i can copy out some of it and re-post it here... or to verify you can register(it is free)
there was an attack page add4ed to the wikionary as "to wenzel" and it was rightfully deleted, however i created the charlie wenzel wikipedia entry specifically as a documentation of the phenomenon and charlies involvement not as an attack.
others who have contributed have even deleted the couple attacks(his reported steroid use) that did exist.
this is now the second attempt to delete it... how many times do we need to go through this?
as for Ashibaka's silly assertion that it is a no name internet celeb... remember that the thread only got publicized outside of its home forum on Friday... in 72 hours the thread had 900,000 views... not too shabby... tell me of anyone else that went from "nobody" to 900,000 viewers, hundreds of sites and multiple t-shirts and bumper stickers and bonafide slang terms in such a short time and i will agree that Mr. Wenzel is no big deal.

"and the begging notice at the bottom of the article" that is there because it was already nominated for speedy delete... however it violates none of wiklipedia rules to justify a speedy delete.... i can understand you thinking its no big deal... that is why i said wait a few days to see how big it is on google... also there is now an internet scam prevention and awareness site named wenzeled.com... this is a term that will stick... but since "to wenzel" was already deleted from the dictionary due to what i originaly thought was attacks(something i have gone out of my way to prevent here) i made this factual non attacking page... I do wonder now if it was simpyl deleted becasue users here were not framiliar with the term... i understand that it is a new term.
to Durova: i was not even a member of pirate4x4 until i found out about this event so i have no reason to want to attack Charlie. I make no threat to disclose any of charlie's information... in fact i don't think that act was right, but since the term "to wenzel" was deleted from the dictionary it became obvious that you all needed the entire story in order to understand the meaning of the term... so i provided the story... nothing more, nothing less.
if any of you want to read the original thread to verify that everything stated is factual... why not just use bugmenot... that's right... because you have no interest in finding out about things you don't know.
since I appear to be the only one who wants to discuss this. Here is an expert of the wikipedia page on notability:
Obscure content isn't harmful Wikipedia is not paper and (theoretically) has no size limits, and so should include "everything" that fits within its other criteria. There is room for articles on any and every verifiable subject. There is no harm in including an obscure topic, because if it is truly non-notable, people simply won't search for it or link to it. It will not create a significant server load as such.
Deletion reform is necessary
A policy of "delete if and only if the article is not verifiable in a reliable source" would make it far easier to decide borderline cases and would turn AfD into a more constructive process, which would make articles Wikipedia more reliable by adding references where possible. 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.
to all those calling for Speedy Delete we have already been down that road and this article passes with flying colors any criteria for speedy deletion

Durova 17:17, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
NONE of the information released on Pirate4X4, with the exception of perhaps his yearbook photo, was private information. It was all gathered through postings Charlie made freely and of his own accord to other sites - EVEN the part about banking info. If Charlie did NOT want that information public, he should not have posted it in the first place. This is just another reason why the article should stay - it shows not only the flamewar that can start due to dishonesty (which in reality, matters very little) but the very REAL repercussions of handing out personal information and photos willy-nilly.
reply
-- As for Slander - all of the information posted on Wikipedia is verifiable, most of it simply by reading the threads, and the rest by visiting the linked sites. The origional post for $100 has been saved since the begining by Pirate4X4, and Charlie himself owned up to the fact that the parts were actually used. Therefore, though statements made on the forums are certainly bound to contain some exageration and slander, this Wikipedia entry, which simply discusses the documented events, does not.
-- As a side note, Charlie had the option of preventing his public information from being given out by appoligizing and releasing the tracking number of the shipment he claimed to have made. He was prompted to comply by releasing one digit at a time, but instead he chose to continue with his previous course of behavior.
that aside... why, if it is non-notable, should it be deleted? Wikipedia's own documentation states(as i posted above) that non-notable is no grounds for deletion if the information is verifiable and non-POV... interest in the subject will determine how many page views the article gets and thus it's inclusion, if it is in fact... fact, has no impact on wikipedia if it is non-notable.... which, of coarse, I have just shown(through Alexa) is not the case anyway.

Delete this non-notable webcomic. Article itself gives no indication of notability, listing only plot summaries and character descriptions. The comic concluded days ago (November 11, 2005) after five years without ever finding a large audience. Its current Alexa ranking of 292,426 [6] is either 3 to 30 times the maximum per proposed guidelines at WP:WEB. There appears to be very little demand for a print collection; Amazon.com lists its sales rank as "none" and it has no reviews. [7] A google search turns up 214 [unique site] results [8]. An early vesion of the comic was apparently printed in UCLA's student newspaper in 1999 [9], but not every college student's comic that appears in a student newspaper with a circulation of 17,000 [10] is encyclopedic. This looks like just another non-notable webcomic, and WP:NOT a web directory. Ironically, "Chex's weekly exploits usually involve some sort of harebrained scheme to increase his readership."

*Keep. A far more valid example of webcomics metahumor than any other webcomic mentioned in this AfD. The author, Kristopher Straub, has been invited to speak on many panels at conventions at the same table with web giants Penny Arcade, PVP and Bob the Angry Flower.

*Keep. This is a joke, right? It would be hard to consider a more notable webcomic within the webcomics community outside from absolute top tier webcomics like PvP or Penny Arcade. It was significant news and of significant impact when Straub left Keenspot to connect with Blank Label Comics (after several years on said Keenspot and significant time as one of the top webcomics on Keenspace, both of which would on their own indicate automatic inclusion over here). Clearly, whoever put this up for deletion doesn't understand even the most cursory elements of the artistic field he's trying to 'edit.' I would recommend he or she not muck around with the webcomics entries without significantly more exposure to webcomics in general and the community in particular.

*Keep I'm neither a fan of Straub nor his comic, but to imply that it is not a major influence in the webcomics community, or that it is 'unnotable' due to spurious statistics or because it is ended is to ignore all the discussions inspired, the events chronicled and the concepts explored by this very, very well known strip and by Straub. I would recommend that if you want to consider whether or not an entry concerning webcomics be deleted in the future that you actually consult with someone with at least a passing familiarity with them. For future reference, a strip ending does not always mean failure, and after a number of years, such as this, it almost never does. It just means that the author has said what he/she needed to say.--

*Keep I'm not sure I see why this would even be seriously considered a candidate for deletion. The article could stand improvement but does present information that those seeking it would want to get. The topic is popular enough that it should be included in an encyclopedia with 800,000 plus articles. I think someone has a bit of a vendetta against webcomics, or at least is giving that appearance with these actions. I agree with the poster that pointed out that many UK railway stations have a lot less relevance... To me Wikipedia should be what its authors want to make of it, and if several editors have been contributing content that seems good enough to me. Further, I'm not sure what the relevance of posting edit counts is, but go ahead and post mine, I'm curious, I can never get the tool to work for me to find out where exactly I stand... ++

*Keep First of all, I'm not sure how many "edits" I'll have, as I'm on a rotating IP address, since I sign on from various locations at my college. And secondly, I'm disgusted that it matters. If someone cares about the content of this encyclopedia, even in this one case, then by the founding principles of Wikipedia their voice counts as much as anyone else's. If someone has three edits--all on Webcomics--why should their voice be less than one with 350 edits all on, say, United States politics? It's artificial elitism, and it's disgusting. Next, this is a ridiculous candidate for deletion. The rules were designed to prevent vanity posts. This is not a vanity article. CxN may not have gained a huge readership, but it was exceedingly influential in the webcomics community. Mr. Straub has spoken alongside lumanaries such as PvP and PA repeatedly. It is by nature a webcomic about webcomics, and as such is a humor parallel to a webcomics trade journal. Finally, this discussion should not be taking place. Remember: Wikipedia is not a bureaucracy. Rules are not applied regardless of applicability. Wikipedia is not a paper encyclopedia. There is no limit to what may be covered. Dragonfiend, you are nothing but a loudmouth and a bully, and your attack on this page is nothing short of reprehensible.
*Keep - Wikipedia's job is to archive and categorize information. not to decide which information is "good enough".

The debate concerns the Dalaï-Lama school of the Gelugpas, that want to have this school of Jonang, kept banned, while people like me want to get it's 500-year ban lifted. By making the ban hold, they want to suppress my school from it's freedom of speech and expressing itself. Their agenda is to utterly gag me by vandalizing the source that I use, of Jonang-Wikipedia. (But I've safeguarded the uncorrected, previous version thanks to Wiki's service of that) Maybe you can tell me what the best manner of presenting it is because I'm thinking about correcting the page tonight (French time.). I could present myself as the person making this whole page and topic, go crazy, because big interests, like the big school around the Dalaï, want to guard it's power and interests. I know this all sounds sectarian and like that, but you must all know that there is no Paradise-Lost... and there are these very down-to-earth human problems in any human entreprise, be it political, religious or other.

This page claims Goldkind was "one of the UK's first evangelists for the Internet", among other things, but there is remarkably little evidence to back this up.

HappyApple 20:29, 15 November 2005 (UTC) reply
There is a unanimous call to keep this article, including two votes to speedily keep. The article describes an important Supreme Court case from 1984; however, it is entirely
unreferenced. From a brief search of law websites, the documentation available on this case is of such volume and notability that I cannot see how it might be termed "non-notable." However, it does appear that the article has been mistakenly titled. The case in question appears to be UNITED STATES v. LEON, 468 U.S. 897 (1984), argued January 17, 1984, decided July 5, 1984, with Justice J White delivering the Opinion of the Court. This is not the same as LEON v. UNITED STATES, 384 U.S. 882, a 1966 petition for a writ of certiorari. Therefore, I will move this article to
United States v. Leon, and source the article to references.
Finally, if I may be so bold as to suggest it, this underscores yet once more the importance of paying attention to WP:V.

The major problem with this article is that it's original research. Rather than a reproduction of a published list of bad songs, this article is made up of some titles taken from such lists with no apparent methodology. Since there are no set standards for inclusion, the article could be expanded indefinitely. Some sources are cited, but many are not. This results in significant NPOV and verifiability issues.

I understand the "promotional" thing you mentioned though, and thus deleted the download.com link! Sorry. There are a lot of other coders on forums who thank him in huge numbers for his works!

This page is both incorrect and a duplicate. It is not a chip, it's a microprocessor. "chip" is slang for microprocessor. Additionally, this article is talking about the UltraSPARC T1 processor, which has its own article. The original author linked this page from Niagara, a disambig page, and ignored the already created Niagara Processor link, which is now a redirect to UltraSPARC T1. The only contributor is anonymous. In summany, this page is misleading and a duplicate, and does not serve to enhance wikipedia. — Fudoreaper 22:28, 15 November 2005 (UTC) reply

This page should be deleted because it is an unnecessary disambiguation page. It is general practice with articles on tropical cyclones that if there are two storms in a basin with the same name, and one has an article, a link at the top of the article pointing at the season for the storm without an article is added. The precedents of Juan and Klaus do just that. I have made that very change to the Typhoon Longwang article. In addition, if the name Longwang is not retired, it will very likely be several years before there is another one. For both of these reasons, this article is unnecessary.

I have just reviewed the article in question having come across the deletion notice while searching for the artist. I am familiar with his works and while the other gentleman is not, this does not seem to me to be a reason to delete. This artist may not be as notable as Miro or Picasso, but is important for a new generation. A simple internet search using the main engines yields enough information and comments by others who see the importance of the artist.
Appears to be self promotion / autobiography of an artist who is not yet notable. The article provides a link to a review of a recent artshow, but this review appears to be also self authored or written by a friend.
