Given the current content of the page, I propose that it be deleted as a non-notable biography that fails WP:BIO. It is about an aspiring comic who is a college student with a blog (not linked) and a Facebook profile (not unlike millions of college and high school students). There are no sources backing up the claims in the article that the subject is "a potential comedic-genius" by Dead Frog, and "vulgar, disgusting, and unequivacally repulsive" by Red America,a conservative internet blogsite and forum." - the links only go to each site's respective homepage. And as for his other claims to fame, "Winning the Nickelodeon Super Toy Run in 1993" isn't related to the career of an aspiring humorist, and "Being verbally threatened by MLB All-Star Pitcher Scott Kazmir in 2004" is amusing but not notable unless it was the subject of a major news controversy (again, no sources). The other content of the page ranges from trivial to non-NPOV. Fabricationary 03:26, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
To be honest, the members of Last Comic Standing are "up and coming" comics, and we seem to not be able to get enough. More than contributions to comedy, we get their entire life story. I consider this not-half bad, although there do need to be some changes made. - Bacardi6868 3:59, 9 Aug 2006
The result was delete. I tried to find a way to save this, I really did, but the notability is not there, even after the cleanup. The references are weak, and nothing in the text of the article in any way asserts its notability. The closest I could find was "In 1990 the Christ Church congregation was the third largest in Sydney". Not only is this not notable, but the stat is unreferenced and 16 years old.

This page is simply vanity. This alleged mime troupe does not perform publicly, and are not an official club of Whitworth College (or of any kind, for that matter). A Google search returns five results, all of which are Wikipedia or its mirrors. This 'troupe' is not notable at Whitworth College, let alone in the grand scheme of Wikipedia. The article even states that it was 'founded' by three students, and only two still 'perform'. I feel as if this issue is fairly cut-and-dry.

Tagged for importance, and author not able to come up with much, except that they work in international trade and have international clients. IT consulting company with 26 employees, 134 unique GHits, and reads like an ad. Doesn't look to me like remotely meeting WP:CORP. Thousands of IT consulting companies this size or larger. Fan-1967 03:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
A company or corporation is notable if it meets any one of the following criteria: 1. The company or corporation has been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the company itself. This criterion excludes: o Media re-prints of press releases, other publications where the company or corporation talks about itself, and advertising for the company. o Trivial coverage, such as newspaper articles that simply report extended shopping hours or the publications of telephone numbers and addresses in business directories. This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, television documentaries, and published reports by consumer watchdog organizations.
Now, with that being said, if you look at the article Norman Technologies, you will see that the Charlotte Business Journal has written about Norman Technologies on two different occasions. You will also see that the company is unique in two different ways -- it's the ONLY American I.T. consultancy engaged solely in international financial transaction initiatives; and it is the ONLY non-bank representative on an important committee of the International Chamber of Commerce, which is an organization that has been around since 1919. If you intend to delete perfectly acceptable articles such as this, then where is the action on articles such as: Intrada, Coney I-Lander, Force Fed Records, and Kiessling, to cite just a few? Remember, the "Wikipedia exists to bring knowledge to everyone". So, ask yourself, Delete-advocates, why are you going after this particular article with such vigor? Is it because you know more about restaurants and record labels than you know about international transaction software (which is responsible for processing billions of dollars of trade every day)? I guess it's not notable if you don't understand it. -- MyWikiBiz 13:38, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply

(I wasn't able to find the other groups or venues he lists, although one of them might be a children's theatre group in NYC.)

I think it is best to have a parallel description of education in the different communities of Belgium in one article.

She was the former Town Moderator of New London for a number of years. I'm not sure to what extent local government officials are permitted to be on Wikipedia.
Hilary Cleveland made both national and local news when she spoke strongly against Bush and supported Howard Dean in the primary (her late husband James Colgate Cleveland was a Republican Congressman and the family were (perhaps still are) friends with the elder President Bush). She later became the head of the GOP Women for Kerry steering commitee #REDIRECT [ [18]] though she only had brief involvement with the campaign. She is by no means an active Republican lobbyist.

Ofcourse the first thing you encounter here ( http://www.turkicworld.org/) is the "grey wolf" background, which is an obvious reference to the pan-turkist ideology of the site.
Here are a few examples of what else you can see on this page:
Famous TURKS in history:
Biruni (perian scientist) Changiz khan (mongol general) Farabi (persian scientist) Abu muslim Khorasani (Persian General) Khwarizmi (Persian mathematician) Avicinna or Ibne Sina (Persian physician) Qublai Khan (Mongol Ruler)
( http://www.ozturkler.com/data_english/0004/0004.htm)
Nowrooz is an ancient turkish holiday! ( http://www.ozturkler.com/data_english/0001/0001_19_03.htm)
Here is an other jewel of knowledge (I quote):
"In the Iranian Zend-Avesta narrations which can be found in detail in the Islamic sources and in the Israely origin Torah narratives the name "Turk" was searched at Noah's grandson (son of Yafes) Turk..."
(Ofcourse the author needs to explain where in Avesta is there any talk about the semitic myths of Noah etc...)
Articles like this are and have been part of a concerted effort by pan-turkist ideologists to romantisize the origin of turks, through association of ancient heroic or civilized people with turks. Note that in the article in question, the english word "Turk" is consistently spelled "Türk" as per spelling in Turkish, which suggest a very national-romantic approach to history. Nothing from this site has a place in a serious encyclopedia and therefore we really should remove this nonsense from Wikipedia. Arash the Bowman 09:40, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply
The reason this article exists is to promote the ideas of the aforementioned websit. (the author of the wikipedia article is a contributor to that website). The article about Scythians should be enough. Therefore there is no reason to fix this article. Fixing it will require a major rewriting any way, which I do not think is necessary, since any useful information can be put into the Scythia article. best wishes Arash the Bowman 10:30, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Comment Thanks to all that contributed specially user Dab. I definitely welcome the name change although I recommend former ethnic classification of Scythians instead of ethnic classification of Scythians. Personally I do not think any aspect of this article can be salvaged although historical identification of Scythians with Germans, Turks, Slavs, Uralic people could be mentioned succintly in the Scythian article (with appropriate sources). I believe there was a Russian book two hundreds years ago by the title "Yes we are Scythians". Anyways found another error and faslification in the current article. Procopius in no way identifies the Huns as Scythians.
[42]. He just mentions various steppes people. Please read the third paragraph. I am wondering how many errors do we have to find before some other users stop the distortion and disfigurement of Wikipedia for their nationalistic POV. --

Asking me to edit the page over and over again is rude. Remember I am a new user and dont know all the rules.

When people search for zapatista they are looking for one of the two pages I listed above. All we need it a redirect/disambig. page. However, I dont know how to create one.

RJR-Macdonald Inc. Since Before Confederation… In 1858, six years after moving to Montreal as oil commission merchants, William C. Macdonald and his older brother Augustine launched McDonald Brothers and Co. Tobacco Manufacturers. Initially the company imported tobacco from Kentucky and manufactured chewing and smoking tobacco plugs. The business prospered and in 1866 underwent a name change to W.C. McDonald Tobacco Merchants and Manufacturers. That same year the brothers initiated a heart-shaped logo and coined the phrase “tobacco with a heart” – a trademark that lasted more than a century.
RJR-Macdonald has carried on manufacturing in the Ontario Street, Montreal, building since 1876.
Many changes took place in the business. Augustine eventually left the company giving William full control. By 1876 expansion was necessary and the company moved its manufacturing facilities to Ontario Street East in Montreal, where the original building is still used today. The present buildings house both research and manufacturing facilities under the name RJR-Macdonald Inc.
With the growing financial success of the business, William became an integral part of the financial establishment of Montreal and the nation. Named a director of the Bank of Montreal, he established himself as a leading philanthropist, ultimately pouring millions of dollars into health and educational causes, particularly McGill University. Besides funding both a student and science building, he quietly provided numerous scholarships and endowed a number of chairs, one of them filled by Ernest Rutherford, famed pioneer of atomic research and future Nobel laureate.
For his generous support of various health and education causes he was knighted by Queen Victoria in 1898. At that time he changed the spelling of his thriving tobacco company name from McDonald to Macdonald. As Sir William, he continued to support rural education, providing funding for colleges in agriculture and household sciences in Prince Edward Island, Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec and Ontario. He also provided funding for the consolidation of Vancouver and Victoria colleges into the McGill University College of British Columbia, which later became the University of British Columbia.
The process of manufacturing tobacco products has evolved to present-day high-tech, state-of-the-art equipment. RJR-Macdonald Inc. produces more than 15 billion units annually for domestics and worldwide distribution.
Upon his death in 1917, Macdonald, a bachelor, left the company to the Stewart brothers who had started their careers with the company as clerks. Walter Stewart became president and under his management, the company extended production to cut pipe tobacco and the first “roll your own” finecuts. In 1922, cigarette production was added, cigarettes being sold in packages of 10s, 20s, and 50s. In 1928 Export cigarettes were introduced. First known as British Consol Export, the cigarette package became distinctive in 1935 with the addition of a Scottish lassie wearing a Macdonald of Sleat tartan kilt. Created by Canadian artist Rex Woods, the Lassie has remained a company symbol ever since.
During World War II, the company provided cigarettes to Canadian troops overseas. By 1945 fifty percent of the Canadian forces smoked Export cigarettes. This helped the company maintain a dominant share of the domestic market during the first postwar decade. Under Walter’s son David M. Stewart, the company diversified into cigar making during the ’60s.
The Stewarts retained ownership of the Macdonald Tobacco company until 1974 when it was bought by R.J. Reynolds Industries of Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Four years later the name was changed to RJR-Macdonald Inc. to take advantage of the growing recognition of R.J. Reynolds as a major multinational corporation that was made even more so with the merger of R.J. Reynolds and the Nabisco Corporation of New York in 1985.
As a subsidiary of R.J. Reynolds International, RJR-Macdonald, now headquartered in Toronto, has the capability of drawing on the financial, technological and research resources of its international parent. It continues to produce a full range of Canadian cigarette brands, fine cut tobaccos, cigars, and cigarette papers. Most of its Canadian products are produced from Virginia flue-cured tobacco grown in southwestern Ontario. It also imports and distributes several well-known American brands which are manufactured by its sister company R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Co. in Winston-Salem, North Carolina.
The plant in Montreal has seen many changes, undergoing a major program of modernization and renovation during the ’80s. With state-of-the-art equipment, the plant is capable of producing more than 15 billion units annually, and has a reputation for producing high quality products, some of which are produced for and distributed by RJR affiliates in other parts of the world, such as Japan, Eastern Europe, and the Middle East.
Operating in Canada for more than 138 years, RJR-Macdonald has been associated with many special causes and sporting events. For years it has provided financial assistance and marketing expertise to help promote sports such as downhill and freestyle skiing, curling, windsurfing, hockey, fishing, and recently hydroplane boating and golf. While sponsorship of such programs may be curtailed in the future by government legislation, the company remains committed to providing assistance to cultural, recreational, educational, and humanitarian institutions for as long as it can. It is also proud of its role as an equal opportunity employer, its long-standing record of good management-employee relations and its identity as a successful company with roots clearly and firmly established in Canada. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrtobacco ( talk • contribs)

No attempts to meet any sort of verifiability requirements (no press coverage, etc...). It should be noted that this was kept in a previous AFD; however, there was never any rationale presented other than WP:ILIKEIT and Google hits (probably the worst gauge of video game-related notability.

User:Marginalia put this to speedy deletion with comment "Speculative information about 'rumored' film"; I denied this because it's not a CSD criterion. I PRODded this as "strong suspicion of a hoax. No IMDB entry, the 'official site' linked to in an article is a .tk site and the sources are a bit dubious too, indicating this is a rumour." Original author removed PROD without comment. The only thing I can add would be that I got 67 google hits, 37 unique, mostly message board hits. This screams "rumour". -- wwwwolf ( barks/ growls) 18:09, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply

You're perpetuating the myth that all wikipedia users care about is mainstream information — No, they aren't. But you are propounding the fallacy that "mainstream" and "already documented outside of Wikipedia" are equivalent.
The assertions here are that this article is unverifiable and original research. The only way to counter those arguments is to cite sources, filling up the References section of this article (which is currently empty) and demonstrating that it is possible to verify the article and that knowledge of the subject has been through a process of publication, fact checking, and peer review, and has already become a part of the corpus of human knowledge. All of the other arguments that you are making are irrelevant. Continue to argue along those lines, instead of citing sources, and you will not save the article. Please cite sources.

According to article text [55] (reference subsequently deleted by the author), this article about a software project is written by its author. WP:NOT a vehicle for self-publicity. There appear to be numerous other far more notable systems called the SWORD system: this one gets only 8 Google hits [56], of which one is this article and two are on its author's homepage.
There is no other system called the SWoRD system other than this one in the software categories. The reason we put it as the SWoRD system in Wikipedia is because sword is a general term that already is used. Here is another google search. [57]. You will see about 10 pages-long hits.
I am very willing to delete the article.
However you should understand we scaholars publicize our research and its results for public services and not for self-publicity. And we use our names to put professional credibility to the findings.

we use our names to put professional credibility to the findings — There was an encyclopaedia project to do that. It failed. Here at Wikipedia, where "anyone can edit", we know that relying upon the reputations of editors is impractical and in the overwhelming majority of cases outright impossible. Therefore we employ Wikipedia:Verifiability. If you have come to Wikipedia expecting "Trust me, I'm a doctor." to work here, then you have come here with a false expectation.

Appears to fail WP:BIO, and reads a lot like a WP:VAIN piece. Only claim to notability is appearing in a few TV shows and commercials with no claim to how important he was to those shows (the article says he is a film and TV extra, so that seems to be it), some shots in magazines and a charity fashion show, and having been featured in an episode of "Who'll Age Worst" (which is probably no more notable than the thousands of people who have appeared on any of the dozens of home/garden/wardrobe/life improvement shows that litter daytime TV). Additionally, there are precisely two GHits for his name, neither of which are relevant.

Save. I agree to some extent with the above comments. However I saw this young man on television some time ago and have followed his career since, notably his charitable work.

autobiography; many parts unverifiable or false; non-notable if false claims removed. Author removed prod and responded that claims were true, but has failed (so far) to verify important content. The subject appears to be a young man in the Jacksonville, Florida area who was verifiably a member of a local soil conservation district board, where he was accused of misusing funds. He later launched a campaign for City Council, abandoned that, and ran for state legislature unsuccessfully. He is a member of a local environmental advisory board, an appointive position. Various claims in the article are difficult or impossible to verify; as far as I can tell, there is no show named "Splat" on Nickelodeon, now or in the recent past. One random not-very-reliable-looking list online claims it was a one-shot game show (with Rahman as host), which is very different from the claim in the article. A local Jacksonville source lists an appearance by Rahman and that he is the host of Splat - but why only one such online source, and in his home town? The "Telly Award" appears to be somewhat of a scam; you pay to enter, you pay for the statues - here is the page listing Build Your Future as a winner, and notice that the long list is only some of the winners starting with the letter 's', for 2005! I don't think there is an ABC series named "Sheena!" He is not listed among the cast members of "Full Time Felon", even among the minor cast members. Etc. Etc. I have been unable to verify the claim about the listing in Ebony; various local media have different stories: in some, the claim is that he was named one of Jacksonville's upcoming black leaders; in others one of Florida's upcoming black leaders; and in some 'one of 30 upcoming black leaders'. And so on....

Comment : On reviewing this article, I have come to the conclusion that it should be considered to be Original Research.
A Wikipedia article on crime in a certain country and/or a certain period should base itself on criminology studies, or news articles giving an overview about crime. In this case, press articles on individual crimes must be considered primary sources, that should be analysed and synthesised, and upon which conclusions should be drawn.

The result was Keep. This nomination and the one above are the users first and only contributions to Wikipedia (Mod176 (talk • contribs • count)), and leads me to believe its a bad faith nom and/or possible attack. If any admin thinks I am wrong, you are more than welcome to overturn and delete.

This article is no more than a promotion for the park, and an uninformative one at that. It contains no lead or otherwise section explaining what the park is and just consists of a few short descriptions of rides, including some empty sections. -- Mark ( Talk | Contribs | Email) 21:28, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
The result was delete. The essential fact is that software that merits inclusion in the historical encyclopaedic record is in the extreme minority... and neither third-party sourcing nor strong argument indicates that this software is outside the minority. -- Sam Blanning (talk) 02:09, 19 August 2006 (UTC) reply
Article started by User:Wikrockstone and read strongly as an advertisement. Was prodded and prod2ed as an advertisement for a non-notable piece of software (Google returns only 56 unique results for PSentry plus ("Plus" as in "Plus Communications", the developer), or 61 for PSentry filter). The article was since rewritten to be more neutral in tone by User:Idealistic cynic and the prods removed, but this does not address the notability issue. ~ Matticus T C 21:43, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
It's been a week exacctly since this article was put into AfD. Matticus and I have both discussed the merits and flaws of the article and come to the consensus that it should be kept but with a sources needed tag. No other contributors have really chipped in and the article appears to have stabilized across edits.
I'll still be keeping it on my watchlist for the next couple of months just to ensure there isn't any future vandalism or marketing hype. Thanks. -- Idealistic cynic 02:17, 17 August 2006 (UTC) reply

deproded, then reproded by another editior. Since this is not allowed, I have changed it to an AfD. The following was Ruairi irish's reason in the most recent prod: This page reads too much like an advertisement. Also, this page's contents could be moved to a different page.

*Keep or Userfy The article as it currently is (as of when this message is signed) is pretty poor, however it does appear to be onto something substantial. New users are typically unused to using userspace to polish up an article before posting, but it's a safe thing to do. If the article has been improved by the end of this AfD, then keep. Else userfy to allow it to be properly worked upon.

* Delete per
WP:RS,
WP:NOR. No matter how new an article is, the standards are the same, and sources must be in from the start. Its one source is what, a podcast? This should not preclude recreation as a serious article.

This is a page about a band that has just signed a record deal. It fails WP:MUSIC on almost all points, though two of the members were once in The Murmurs. That band qualifies easily, but does not really seem to have made it big, would just having a member from that band make REDCAR notable enough? Google presence is minimal, and the band's website is not up yet. As far as I'm concerned they have proved nothing yet, and they should have their own entry when they qualify more easily.

Appears to be spam. Another user engaged in an edit war labelling this as a scam. The other user in the edit war appears to have a commercial interest in the subject of this article. Also including allsportsmarket.com in this AfD. theProject 23:00, 9 August 2006 (UTC) reply
I can also provide various media reports on the GSFE/ASM platform including one from the NYSE floor in Wall Street, this report was aired on Channel 11 WPIX in NY,NY.
I am asking that you provide a way that I can supply this documentation for your review. It seems that the person(s) who have been accusing us of fraudulent activities and erasing the entry to put up a libelous script are set with malignant intent. It is our belief that this person(s) were found to be violating exchange trade policy and are now resorting to a vengful response.
Please give us a fair chance to show Wikipedia what the GSFE is. My email is [email protected]
Thank you for your time and assistance.

That is funny. I wonder what my real boyfriend would say to that. Now, with regard to my "agenda" or my "libelous" comments (I can only speak for myself), everyone is able to read what I posted in the article disputed here. In contrast to you, I included a few external references. I have many more, and I can also scan offline evidence and post it for everyone to see if that's what you want. The only "agenda" that could be attributed to me is the decision that I am not going to tolerate any longer how you scam people again and again (you know as much as I do that ASM / GSFE is not your first fraudulent business). For plenty of years, I have been enjoying Wikipedia as a user and felt too much respect for the work of others to even try to write my own articles on whatever subject. I know that there are tons of talented Wikipedia users out there who can do much better than I could. But now that you openly decided to abuse Wikipedia for one of your (in-)famous marketing campaigns, I had to step in and so had others. I did not come here first and post "libelous" stuff. YOUR team started the whole thing without checking first what Wikipedia is all about. I will be totally fine if the ultimate decision will be to remove everything. Stuff like that simply DOES NOT belong on Wikipedia (some of the other users here please correct me if I am wrong. As I said, I'm more a reader here, not a writer). waiwiki80 21:38, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply

The article is offending and has nothing to do with countries outside the Czech Republic, the title of the article is in fact one of the most vulgar words in the Czech language. Actually, the whole article deals exclusively with an extremely vulgar and offensive symbol. Therefore it is unappropriate to have a separate Wikipedia entry on this topic.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jakub Jindra ( talk • contribs) 2006-08-09 22:35:18
OK, your objections are logical and article will be probably kept. But as a Czech citizen I can assure you that the last sentence in the article was total nonsense (I have already removed it) and the whole article is intentionally written to look professionaly while in fact it is a bad joke. "The symbol isn't included in Unicode" sentence is just ridiculous. This is not a real accepted symbol - it's just a simplified drawing of cunt (this word is most similar to piča) used mostly by teenagers. Also, correct title of article should be piča (píča is used only by minority of Czechs). I have nothing against vulgarisms and I use them too. I just nominated this article for deletion because I was afraid it could be taken seriously by English readers while in fact it is rubbish.-- Jakub Jindra 22:02, 10 August 2006 (UTC) reply
