There has never been a count of Mantane or Matane. And the name of Mr Perron does point in the list drawn up by the genealogical tables of the nobility Quebec. In fact, Matane has never been a county in the sense of nobility. So, it is impossible to rehabilitate a title that never existed. Just see the french version of wikipedia for details...

Albanian mafia

AfDs for this article:
Albanian mafia (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Hi everyone I propose this article for complete deletion because:

-It is misrepresenting, misusing sources, and spewing anti-Albanian propaganda disguised as objective information on a subject that is scattered, arcane, controversial, and undefined. EVEN Belgian police acknowledge that only sensationalist reporting has led to fantasy depictions of the Albanian Mafia.

-If people want to write artcles about Albanian crimes, OK (do it in individual pages), but dont compile decades of individual, unconnected crimes in one article, to form a false image of an "Albanian Mafia". That is defamation. You can see that some of the main sources of this article are up to 25 years old, which further proves my point.

-There are several people vandalizing this article by changing original quotes and giving them a completely new meaning.

-Information is cherry picked.For many of the statements made in the article I can find other quotes saying just the opposite.

-Some information is flat out wrong. For example: The "Balkan Route" has NEVER accounted for 25-40% of the heroin smuggled into the US. That is not just a blatant lie and mis- interpretation, but also falsely implies that Albanians have been responsible for smuggling it, when in fact, especially at that time, the "Balkan Route" was mainly controlled by Serbian and Bulgarian groups.

-In the "history" section a pseudo background on the "Albanian Mafia" is given to justify the article. Albanian crime has nothing to do with the

"Kanun" or "traditional family-based clans". They commit crimes because of the poor financial situation in Albania and Kosovo. It does NOT have a "mafia" tradition like Italy. Implying that is ridiculous. Also, the original source is NOT the book "Gangs: A Journey into the heart of the British Underworld", as referenced, but the Serbian website www.serbianna.com, which has for a long time been spreading propaganda. I would appreciate if someone objective would take a look at the site and see for himself. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Basey555 ( talk • contribs) 23:18 20 August 2008

  • Keep and cleanup. The long list of rationales mentioned by the nominator do not, by themselves, justify deletion. False claims within the article should be deleted but please not the entire article. -- Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 00:35, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep While a part of the sources can be legitimately put in doubt, and should thus be removed, a considerable number are clearly OK: the US governmental sources, the Washington Post, the Independent, and Thompson's book. Certainly this article needs considerable editing, and more sources must be added, but it's hardly doubt that the papers speak a lot of it; and in Wikipedia we are not after the truth, but after reliable sources, and these don't miss: a simple search for "Albanian mafia" in the news archives turns out 315 sources, a lot of them passing the RS criteria, and also Google books provides quite a lot [1]-- Aldux ( talk) 00:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

VANDALISM and the article being biased are main problems. If I just clean up the page, someone will restore everything again and again.Just in the last 2 days an unregistered member changed existing quotes several times, giving them a COMPLETELY new meaning. Also people add and delete material as they please, to fit their bias. The topic itself is highly controversial, it is not like the Italian Mafia. So if it not to be deleted for its wrong content, then I would like to propose it for deletion because of vandalism and bias. -- Basey555 ( talk) 01:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and cleanup. Not only is "the page gets vandalized a lot" not a valid AFD criterion, it's completely rediculous. If we deleted every page that was vandalized, there wouldn't BE a Wikipedia. Rwiggum ( Talk/ Contrib) 01:13, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep per Aldux and Rwiggum. Vandalism issues are not a reason for deletion. Maxa megalon 2000 05:14, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep as involved editor. The subject is notable. The term "albanian mafia" is used on at least one Interpol report in front of US Congress [2], one congressional report from the republican party [3], and it's used on several mainstream newspapers. The FBI talks about albanians working inside Balkan "mafias" and "albanian organized crime" [4] (which is an alternate name on the lead), and have news about things like an "Albanian Organized Crime Ring" [5] and other obvious references to the topics dealt with on this article [6]. Mind you, the article needs a good work-out. Also, individual crimes are not notable, but the organized crime phenomena by groups of albanians is notable. -- Enric Naval ( talk) 09:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

NN artist, page seems mainly to exist as a vehicle to attack Lil Wayne. Youtube.com links, in the absence of independent sources do not help a subject pass WP:MUSIC. Movingboxes ( talk) 23:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply


Oh, no, that's not what my intention was when creating this article. This artist came to my attention by word-of-mouth on the internet. I (and I expect others) was looking for more information on him. I noticed he had no wikipedia page so I decided I may as well create one. He does have over 1 million views on youtube so he has notability but two are attacks against another artist. Should I delete those links? Chinatary ( talk) 23:13, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply


I see how it may appear that way but I believe the way he became notable was from attacking Lil Wayne. So the article doesn't exist to attack Lil Wayne but that may be the actual reason why he is notable. Again, I have more research to do on the subject but the fact of the matter remains that the article is, indeed, about a subject of notability and therefore, by my understanding, should not be deleted. Though my understanding may be flawed because I am new to wikipedia, I believe that this artist should have an article. Chinatary ( talk) 23:19, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Comment That's kind of strange, as this [7] seems to indicate that you are Xen Nightz. Movingboxes ( talk) 23:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply


Hmm, that was an interesting response. A bit unexpected. But no, that remix of "Chain Hang Low" was how I first came across Xen Nightz. I read a comment on a hip hop website somewhere that mentioned an animated remix of Jibbs' "Chain Hang Low" that was supposed to be "hilarious". A quick google showed various websites hosting the video. I went on youtube, watched it, asked the uploader (assuming he was Xen Nightz) about him self and if he had any other tracks. He claimed that he wasn't, pointed me to Xen Nightz' myspace and told me to google his name. After a while, I'm here creating this article. Chinatary ( talk) 23:46, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Oh, or do you mean his name? Like I said, I'm trying to research more. I found his Facebook address which has his name as Zak Malik. I asked his top friends on his MySpace if they knew his real name. After going back and fourth I was finally told that his whole name is Zakariya(h) Adam Abdul-Malik. I added him as a friend on facebook which revealed his age to be 23 or 25 (can't remember right now). I didn't question him on it as I have yet to talk to him personally but some of his friends on myspace claim that he is 25. Some say 24. Some say they don't know. So I deleted his age because I have no proof of that yet. Chinatary ( talk) 23:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Comment All this would be original research and is no basis for an article (see WP:OR). Movingboxes ( talk) 23:55, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Indeed, his name and age are original research but that isn't the article is it? Chinatary ( talk) 23:59, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. None of the sources in the article satisfies the requirements of WP:RS, as none of them are independent third-party coverage. Interesting also that the only real notability assertion in the article (1 million downloads) is also the only element in it that is unsourced. Then again, such a figure can be artificially inflated by having a bot visit the site over and over. -- Blanchardb - Me• MyEars• MyMouth- timed 00:16, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I know that bots can increase views/plays on some websites but everything about this guy adds up. From the various uploaders of his videos to the extensive amount of pages on google his name brings up. But ok, I see your point. I just don't understand how an article with no sources can be ok but not this one. Interesting. But I will still do more research to find out more about this artist.

  • Delete - complete lack of independent sources -- T- rex 00:52, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I was just reading about Wikipedia on, Wikipedia. I realized, this is supposed to be an encyclopedia that "attempts to collect and summarize all human knowledge in every major language." So why do you guys keep deleting articles? Not just mine, I mean other people's articles about other people. I don't get it. For example, I was searching for a rapper named Gillie Da Kid to see if he had any ties with Xen Nightz. To my surprise, the article about him has been deleted. Not only deleted but locked from starting a new one. Yet there are articles on Wikipedia that link to and reference him.

I understand you guys have a hard job to do but if even one person is looking for information about a particular subject, why delete these subjects from Wikipedia? Seems like it's going directly against what you guys are trying to create.

My article lacks independent sources but I'm still trying to find those. I mean, why delete all the work someone has done on an article instead of leaving it up to be improved upon by others? If I was looking for this person then that means others are looking for this person. And if they are like me and reference Wikipedia for most things...this all just kind of seems backward. I think I'm doing a pretty good job gathering what little information that is out there and putting it in one spot where someone else in the world can easily find it. Isn't that the whole point of Wikipedia?

But, like everything in this world, it's all up to the government (in this case, the fine admins and mods of Wikipedia). I'm not saying you guys don't do a good job, because you do. I'm just saying that it'd be nice if we could expand this a little more to help out folks looking for info on the obscure and hard to find subjects out there :)

I suggest you become familiar with the guidelines at WP:CRYSTAL and WP:MUSIC. Currently, there are no reliable sources, not even a confirmed tracklisting. In order for an album to be on Wikipedia, it has to have reliable sources. Right now, there are no reliable sources and not even a confirmed tracklisting or official release date.

They're not actually confirmed in any way. I don't remember even Tila ever saying that she'd put them on her album, and I was a fan for a long time up until recently. This article has no sources whatsoever, and even if you were to put some... it'd all be from Tila herself. She could just be making it up, she's had promises of a debut album for many years now. (This is why I'm surprised she actually released the album name and the time it'd come out, so I think it will come through this time, but I'm not completely sure.) I hope you understand what I'm saying, however: please do not recreate this page until you have reliable sources other than Tila's website (and no, a mirror of Wikipedia doesn't work either)!

Doesn't matter. It's still not good enough. Even Tila never confirmed them. And even if she did, you need more than just her as a source.
Obviously you've never read Wikipedia guidelines, because not everything can be in this encyclopedia... there's rules and restrictions...

Weak keep, whilst the band has yet to release anything, they do pass criterion 7 of WP:MUSIC: "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise notable; note that it is often most appropriate to use redirects in place of articles on side projects, early bands and such, and that common sense exceptions always apply." They will of course automatically become notable the second they release anything as per this criterion, even if we don't think it is applicable now; I'd err on the side that it does, and leave the article as a stub until further information is available.

The Godfather and The Godfather Part II deleted scenes (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Potentially trivial list of information; lacks real-world context. Important deleted material with real-world context can be re-integrated into the production section of the films' articles. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 22:18, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Strong keep - Reintegrating this material into the parent articles would unbalance them, thus the best place for this stuff is in a seperate article. (It's a standard technique for articles which are too long to have sections moved into stand-alone articles, referenced from the main article. That's essentially what's happened here.) The necessary real-world context is provided in abundance by the parent articles, there's no need for it in this article, which deals with internal changes made in the films. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 22:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. Trivial list, which lacks sources and real world context. I'm sure that most of these cuts are minor and of no real importance (e.g. "There's some short extra footage of Michael in the car arriving at the mall"), and anything of any true significance should be moved to the appropriate film article. PC78 ( talk) 22:48, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete - fully agree with the nominator (likely obvious, since I PRODded the article). There isn't any encyclopedic value to this. The furthest I would be willing to go is merge, but the deleted material is of no consequence to the original outcome of the films to begin with. If there are small parts that are notable, they can indeed be re-integrated. KV5 • Squawk box • Fight on! 00:07, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I agree with Ed Fitzgerald, there's too much here to re-integrate into the parent articles. These are two of the top movies of all time ( ranked #2 at IMDB) so it is not surprising that a section like this would get spun off and merit its own article. -- MPerel 00:17, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Article is an acceptable breakout of interesting knowledge regarding clearly notable movies. It is, as Ed Fitzgerald says, standard practice to break out articles this way to prevent unbalancing the original article (or to keep the original article from becoming overly long). It may be wise to explicitly note the subsidiary nature of this article in the header, though RayAYang ( talk) 04:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Unfortunately, that argument is weakened by the fact that the material is not appropriate for the parent article either, regardless of the balance, because of said issues of triviality and lack of real-world context. Splitting this content off or merging it back as-is will not resolve any of the issues as it stands now. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 05:22, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
You seem to have escalted your view from "potentially trivial" in your nomination, to fairly definitely trivial now.

It is certainly true that, in and of itself, each deletion noted in the article can be said to be trivial, but the article itself can in no way be said to be trivial as a whole. The notability and importance in cinematic history of the two films goes without saying, and the ways in which they were shaped is certainly significant. The article (which, I agree, should be be more definitively be labelled as subsidiary to the main articles) provides the data which define those changes. To provide an analysis of the deletions would be a clear violation of WP:OP, which is why they are presented as is.

To reiterate, the significance lies in the collective information, not in any one datum, and the notability is satisfied by the importance of that information in relation to the development of the films. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 05:34, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

(ec)It should also be noted that this is not simply stuff that ended up on the cutting room floor, for which it can be argued that the material might have been cut because it was inferior. In this case, when Coppola had the chance to expand the film (for the Saga and the Triology), he chose this material as being of importance in telling the story in a long-form situation. The "real-world" context is provided by the real-world fact that this stuff was chosen by Coppola to be part of the expanded film. As with all media objects, a third-party source is not required when the object itself authenticates the material. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 05:49, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
I'm afraid you misunderstand "real world context" as we use it in our guidelines. It refers to the context written within the article that grounds the "in-universe" information. See WP:WAF. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 05:59, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
All the context that's necessary is provided in the main articles, of which this article is subsidiary. The subsidiary article Results of the attack on Pearl Harbor doesn't deal at all with the causes of the attack, or the way the attack proceeded, or how it was responded to, all very important to the topic of "the results of the attack on Pearl Harbor." It doesn't because these are all dealt with in the main article Attack on Pearl Harbor. This is pretty much generally the case with sub-articles which are spun-off from large articles to reduce overhead or avoid problems of unbalancing the main article. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 06:08, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
With fiction articles, it's different. The Pearl Harbor example is moot, because all that is being discussed actually happened. Fictional subjects, however, have to be firmly grounded - again - within the real-world context of the subject they're discussing. Our guidelines on writing about fiction clearly explain this. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 06:23, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
OK, guess I'll try once more to put my point across, then give it up for lost: The context you require exists in the main articles that this article is subsidiary to. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 06:38, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
If you can't be civil, then I'd advise giving up. Because if you can't even be bothered to establish anything within a subsidiary article, that should be a red alert that there either isn't notable content, or there isn't notable enough amounts to merit splitting. Rattling off a list of deleted scenes, with no real-world context as to their deletion, what it implied, or how the deleted scenes were received critically upon their presentation...well, that's basically a list of indiscriminate information (related to an otherwise notable topic). Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 07:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
You see something uncivil here? I think not. You ask for real-world context for the article, and I'm trying to tell you that the main article establishes the requested real-world context. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 09:56, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Just because the topic is possibly notable does not mean that any content associated with it will be; at the moment this is a collection of indiscriminate information. Some of it may in fact be salvagable if editors are willing and able to significantly overhaul it, but if the issues raised are not, articles which blatantly fail encyclopedic standards are fully justified in being deleted. Were these minor problems, I assure you this would not have been AfD'd by me. Girolamo Savonarola ( talk) 05:44, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
I'm afraid you are assuming the outcome of this AfD in advance. That, and only that, will determine whether the article is "encyclopedic" or not. If the consensus here is "keep" and the AfD is closed that way, then the article is encyclopedic, whether or not it fulfills whatever definition of the word you are comfortable with. This being the case, it might be best for both of us to dispense with reiterations of positions that are apparently firmly in opposition, and allow the community to do its work. Ed Fitzgerald (unfutz) ( talk / cont) 05:53, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Selective-merge back or delete Trivial list that can't even answer "so what?"; there is no apparant relevance. That some scenes were cut may be important and should be mentioned, but this doesn't require a separate article. If and only if two or three medium-sized paragraphs are added to demonstrate that real-world importance or relevance exists (production, design, reasons for scene deletion, reception), I'd reconsider my !vote. – sgeureka t• c 06:46, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. It's simply a trivial list. People might find it "useful" or "interesting" but that certainly doesn't make it more encyclopedic. Also: it shouldn't be merged back. Look at just about any movie article: there isn't lists of deleted scenes, because it's just trivia. If there is a Godfather Wiki, transwiki it there. If not, perhaps a general movie Wiki will have a need for this type of information. RobJ1981 ( talk) 07:29, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete This is unreferenced trivia and doesn't meet WP:V or WP:TRIVA. Nick Dowling ( talk) 08:06, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Not so much because it's trivial (although it is) but for lack of verifiability. The article has no sources, and was clearly compiled by wikipedians with access to the primary sources (that is, copies of the original films and their subsequent releases) comparing them with one another. It's the definition of original research. AndyJones ( talk) 12:54, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Observation is not "original research", observation is observation. The best and most authoritative sources of information about books, films, CDs, TV shows and other media artifacts are the artifacts themselves. It should not be necessary to find a secondary source to say something which you've just seen or heard or experienced for yourself directly from the primary source, since the artifact can always be consulted to confirm the observation.

Girolamo Savonarola is absolutely right; the guidelines explicitly say that "films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles", no matter how high-profile. This film has not commenced principal photography; ergo, it should not have its own article until it does.

    • Comment: Not according to existing guidelines it doesn't. WP:NFF explicitly says that "Films that have not been confirmed by reliable sources to have commenced principal photography should not have their own articles....The assumption should also not be made that because a film is likely to be a high-profile release it will be immune to setbacks." WP:FUTFILM says that "All film articles pertaining to future films must meet the future film requirements of the film notability guidelines." (Boldfacing in both cases as in the original article.) I don't see how it can get much clearer than that. If you want to argue that this particular film is a special case for some reason, you can try to do so, but the guidelines seem very explicit that WP:NFF applies regardless of any other notability criteria of the film in question. -- Smeazel ( talk) 23:50, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

This page was created by the Chateau owner and has not been substantively edited by anyone else since. It is a minor winery in a minor Bordeaux appellation, not a significant or notable French wine. The article contains no direct references to assert notability - even in the external links list, there is only one link to any substantive mainstream coverage, a brief online feature piece in the Times. A notability tag was added a while ago and the page creator/winery owner was politely notified of issues with the article. Rather than respond to that, or make any effort to provide more sources for the notability of their product, they came back to article and removed the tag. And did so without logging in, presumably in order to conceal their identity as the owner of the product now they had been "outed". I've put further comments and links on the article talk page. This product simply does not warrant a page here - Wikipedia is not a commercial directory, and there are all sorts of policy issues here on top of WP:NOTABILITY, including WP:COI, WP:SPAM, WP:SOCK. -- Nickhh ( talk) 21:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: as I explained, only one of these represents anything close to substantive mainstream coverage. If you actually look at them or even try to open them, you would discover fairly quickly that the first is the Chateau's own website, while the second is a local information site which doesn't even appear to list the Chateau in its directory section. The third is - as mentioned - OK in itself, but one small online feature is hardly evidence of notability. The last two are merely articles which include notes on the wine (most wines will be tasted by reviewers at some point or other); furthermore the first of these two is to a subscription only site and the second link no longer works.

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not notes:

Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner; discussing the reception, impact and significance of notable works. A concise plot summary is appropriate as part of the larger coverage of a fictional work.

A "list of deaths", however, is automatically geared toward an in-universe treatment of the subject. This list is purely plot summary: it contains no reference to the real-world significance of a fictional work or a particular element of a work of fiction (such as a character, an episode, or a theme). Any sourced commentary regarding the deaths in The Bill belongs in articles about individual episodes or characters, in a list of episodes or characters, or in the main article.

There is a fairly consistent precedent for deletion of such lists (in fact, these are the only one of two remaining lists of fictional deaths; the other is a list for the Scream film series and is nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of deaths in the Scream trilogy).

List of deaths in the Scream trilogy (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not notes:

Wikipedia treats fiction in an encyclopedic manner;discussing the reception, impact and significance of notable works. A concise plot summary is appropriate as part of the larger coverage of a fictional work.

A "list of deaths", however, is automatically geared toward an in-universe treatment of the subject. This list is purely plot summary: it contains no reference to the real-world significance of a fictional work or a particular element of a work of fiction (such as a character, an episode, or a theme). Any sourced commentary regarding the deaths in the Scream trilogy belongs in the individual film article(s) or the list of characters.

There is a fairly consistent precedent for deletion of such lists (in fact, these are the only one of two remaining lists of fictional deaths; the other is a list for The Bill and is nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of deaths in The Bill).

Controversy at Ave Maria School of Law

Controversy at Ave Maria School of Law (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

This article was hotly contested some time ago when the debate about the potential move of the Ave Maria School of Law to Florida was being fought on and around the campus. At that time, I managed to beat a reasonably neutral description of the issue out of admittedly marginal material and cooled things off. Since then, though, the move has been approved, there's no real controversy to be discussed anymore, and I think this has slipped into the realm of WP:NOT#NEWS. It's not a relevant issue anymore, so I feel this article is not really necessary any longer. (As do the contributors who keep deleting stuff and changing it to their preferences.)

GetMyHomesValue.com has received word from Inc. that they will be in the Top 500 of the 2008 list. This list will be released on Wednesday, August 20. Projections done by GetMyHomesValue.com place themselves in the top 200 - which would place them in the top 4% of the fastest growing co's in the nation.

Not trying to apply the crystal ball theory or predict. As I've already stated by creating this entry, I believe this company has established itself as notable enough to be listed. While the Inc. announcement for 2008 hasn't been made, would GetMyHomesValue.com making the top 5% of Inc.'s list of fastest growing companies give it enough notability in the eyes of editors to avoid deletion? I understand the idea of not publishing rumor or speculation, and as you can see on the GetMyHomesValue.com entry, there is no rumor or speculation about their Inc. magazine ranking. But, it seems to me that the personal life section of every celebrity Wiki (for example, see Jennifer Aniston) likely has some rumored information included. Regardless of notoriety, seems like a conflict here. JonathanBentz ( talk)

  • Delete unless there is some really reliable good third-party evidence for its importance, preferably in a financial sense.

I understand some editors feel the reference list didn't establish Getmyhomesvalue.com's notability, but those have now been updated. Also, although Mandsford was convinced that GetMyHomesValue.com was on the 2007 list (they weren't), they are on the 500 list for 2008. 785% growth for a company with no startup venture capital over a four-year period is pretty notable, is it not?

A directory listing devoid of any evidence that getting the listing requires any notability. 4. A link to the corporate parent's website and 5. An award from a locally based business paper. The question is does that count as being the "subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources". Inc counts for something, although I cannot imagine that there is any precedent that all Inc 500 companies are notable. Perhaps if Inc had actually written an article about the subject... The Central Penn Business Journal counts for something although the criteria for this award are unclear. The article's claim to notability that the firm required no venture capital is meaningless without context. Is there any evidence that this is one of X number of companies that achieved $3 MM in revenue without venture capital financing? Its not quite cutting it. The company's growth is admirable, but being admirable isn;t notable. You have to demonstrate that enough people cared abough about your success to write about it.

This information constitutes a valuable fraud prevention tool, allowing a merchant to identify which bank needs to be contacted for timely transaction inquiries.
    The information is verifiable ( WP:V) either on the bank's website or by phoning the bank directly. The information is neutral ( WP:NPOV). And it passes (teniously) WP:NOTE.

  • Keep This list is uncontroversial and passes WP:SPS, unless the cards are counterfeit their numbers are published/issued by the banks. Each card is a reliable source for its BIN number. This list ultimately is a trade secret of the American Bankers Association since they issue the numbers and for security through obscurity, don't publish the list to the public ( ISO_7812#Issuer_Identifier_Number). WP is WP:NOTCENSORED, so there should be no problems documenting a trade secret or something confidential. I also say, even with the uncompletability of the list, this list does serve a security purpose (what cards are from what countries, what brands, debit/credit/prepaid/low credit limit) per User:Iredato's comment, so this is an application of WP:IAR. Looking at the edit history of this list, its amazing what WP system/community can do. There are anon editors with IP lookups of financial companies User_talk:216.95.236.3, exactly what this list needs.

    • Comment I have found three websites, which can be considered reliable and independent of JP Turner, in which JP Turner is the subject, and where it is receiving non-trivial coverage: [22], [23], and [24]. It may be argued that these three websites mean that the article on JP Turner & Company meets WP:N.

JEdgarFreeman ( talk) 17:12, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Delete Presuming no more reliable source are found, and I have not been able to find anymore, I believe the article would be a serious breach of WP:NPOV if it was left up. This is because it could only use the three sources I have cited, which would mean the article is mostly describing the criminal actions of the company, and that means it would not be a neutral article. Without any more reliable sources, that WP:NPOV problem would not be solved. As a result, until more reliable sources can be found to balance the judicial websites, I recommend that the article does not exist. JEdgarFreeman ( talk) 17:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

      • Comment Not to split semantic hairs, but I think there is a difference between non-trivial and significant, and I don't think any of the 3 meet the "significant" standard. "2" and "3" are both press releases, which are not secondary sources. So no, I don't think an article can be kept on this basis (esp. since no newspaper appears to have thought it significant enough to do any secondary reporting on the judicial actions). And I wouldn't use the word "criminal." UnitedStatesian ( talk) 17:22, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

"Citing sources and avoiding original research are inextricably linked: to demonstrate that you are not presenting original research, you must cite reliable sources that provide information directly related to the topic of the article, and that directly support the information as it is presented." I fail to see how I have not done this, and as for notablity, again, I feel it meets that criteria as it is a commonly used phrase, and as the links show, used around the world, and the article explains the expression. If it is not notable on the grounds of being a "neologism" (and considering the phrase was in use at the time of CD Howe, I'm fairly certainly 60 years old hardly counts as new) why not delete every political neologism, particularly ones that are in far less day to day use then Minister of everything? —Preceding unsigned comment added by WilliamNorman ( talk • contribs) 16:35, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Recreated by a single purpose account after having been deleted twice before. The concerns which lead to the previous deletions also apply to the new version, in fact I am able to quote myself from the previous deletion discussion:

...the text is written like advertising, eschewing hard facts (like the number of users/buyers/downloads of the software, who owns the company, numbers on revenue, profits, employees) in favour of fuzzy marketing language. The product might be notable or not, but until somebody writes a neutral article based on reliable independent sources giving clear indications of notability, the article should better be deleted. The product is already mentioned at osCommerce. Regards, High on a tree 08:30, 4 July 2007 (UTC) reply

The advertising character of the text is clearly visible in how it addresses the reader - as a potential customer, not as the reader of an encyclopedia:

Add-On Systems introduce entire new frameworks into your site and can themselves support additional Add-On Modules. Add-On Modules enhance the capabilities of your CRE Loaded store with these Add-On Modules.

With regard to the general notability guideline, the article contains zero third-party references, but no less than 12 links to web sites by or associated with the company.

  • I have done my best to make Evan Davis(actor) more of a biography instead of a resume. I have also changed one of the links. Hope this helps. I do not believe Evan Davis (actor) deserves to be deleted. He has more than enough facts to prove his existence and merit in the entertainment industry. I am not a sock puppet, I am trying to help out an acting friend that I know. I am not the same person and will give out my name if needed. Wikipedia asked the original author to re-edit the article, then he was unable to do so. I was not aware of a rule that forbids authors knowing each other. Thank you GoldenMonkey78 ( talk) 11:56, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

This is in regards to Evan Davis(actor), 12 Minutes to Heaven, Sofia Mendez. I am not a sock muppet, I was asked to edit these pages for Evan Davis, since he was told by an administrator he could not do and refuse to be called a meat puppet. I a fellow artist and do not believe these people should have their pages deleted or the film, because of my mistake. This is my first time on wikipedia, I apologize. We are trying to give Wikipedia facts not promotion. This has been a misunderstanding. Everything written on these pages is true and there are links to the sources. Thank you GoldenMonkey78 ( talk) 12:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply


When I signed up for Wikipedia I should have read the rules in depth. I apologize for the conusion. I changes my account from Evan2001 because I did not like the name I chose. I thought I deleted it, I never meant to give the impression I had more than one account. GoldenMonkey78 is not a Sock puppet, this person does know me, but volunteered to edit my personal page. I would have ever posted on my own page had I known it was against the rules. I am simply an actor who is trying to post facts that I believe have artistic merit.

  • Delete regardless of the behaviour issues the subject fails our notability and verfiability guidelines. Though the article contains lots of "references" they are primary source, trivial, and/or non-reliable. Jasynnash2 ( talk) 12:25, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Before you delete at least tell me how I can give you notability and verfiability. I have seen this actor live on stage, watched their films and they do exist and will eventually end up on Wikipedia whether it's today or in the future. However, the references I posted are not trivial and are reliable, they are the same reliability as other well known or up and coming artists. GoldenMonkey78 ( talk) 12:31, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Don't Delete Evan Davis (actor) has IMDB credit for an award winning film Thumb Pow, which does match Wikipedia's guildlines for notability. He may not have all his credits on there yet, but is a working commercial actor that will end up on Wikipedia eventually if not today. You say YouTube doesn't count, but that is his fan base and I supplied you with more than one video, once of which has people imitating his performance in a play. He is notable. GoldenMonkey78 ( talk) 14:09, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete with a comment to User:Retrojew89, User:Evan2001, User:GoldenMonkey78... Let's put aside for the moment that you may all know each other and be editing to each other's benefit (meatpuppet) or might even be the same person (sockpuppet). Let's ignore that for just a moment. There is no specific rule that authors cannot know each other or write about each other, however WP:COI states that such relationships should be declared when making those edits BLP describes how every statement in a biography must be well sourced... and there are further guidelines on how these edits must be done. All that aside.... the crux of the entire matter which brought this "relationship" to light is simply that the Evan Davis article, the 12 Minutes to Heaven article, and the Sofia Mendez article do not show notability in a manner accepted by Wikipedia. You have been unable to show even a minor notabilty per Wiki policies and guidelines. The articles as presented to AfD will likely not survive for just that reason. The various puppet cases now are a different (though related) matter and may result in these usernames being either temporarily or pemamently blocked. The place for the Evan Davis article about himself would have been his personal user page. The place for the film's article as it was being developed would have been his user sandbox. You might think about moving them there while still able. No promise that they will survive there, but if you are not blocked, you'll have them in a workspce... and if you are blocked temporarily, they'll be waiting. Schmidt, MICHAEL Q. 18:42, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Delete No reliable sources, and no evidence of anything, even in the sources given, that would satisfy WP:N or WP:ENTERTAINER. The fact that the actor has one IMDB credit is completely non-notable; I have two IMDB credits myself (for feature films I've had supporting roles in) [26], and I'm under no delusions that I'm notable enough to warrant a Wikipedia article! References to YouTube, FunnyOrDie, etc., likewise non-notable. Note to User:GoldenMonkey78: You may very well be right that he "will end up on Wikipedia eventually", but he's clearly nowhere near notable to be on Wikipedia now. Articles aren't added to Wikipedia about things that people anticipate may become notable in the future. -- Smeazel ( talk) 21:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Silly to introduce pages to list atheists by name; that's what categories are for. Mr. Vernon ( talk) 11:17, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Lists are normal on WP, like them or not. And since there are probably 1 to 2 billion professed or real atheists in the world, breaking down the list into 10 or so parts seems like a reasonable thing to do. Northwestgnome ( talk) 11:34, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep: Indeed, Mr Gnome. The chap is way too quick off the mark. It's not so silly if he'd checked the Talk page for the Lists of atheists first, where this was already agreed.
    It's the first one in the series designed to replace (most of, perhaps) the present Lists of atheists, divided by 'field known for', which has proved hopeless and confusing -- the more so since the (originally single) list had to be split due to size. I've been transfering (pretty bloody laboriously) all the entries into the table format in my user area; A to B was done so I thought it ought to 'go live'. Would it be better to do it all in my sandbox, then do it en masse? I don't really care, but this is meant to be to replace what's already in existence with something better, not something additional. Sheesh.
    And yeah, categories are fine too. Indeed, used properly, we could do away with just about all lists, eh? But categories do not offer the topic-specific additional information about the person that the list does -- stuff that's often so tangential as to be irrelevant for the person's main page, but relevant (and substantiated) in the context. Go take a look.

  • Comment / swipe: Heh. I just re-read Mr Vernon's opening comment. "Silly to [...] list atheists by name". Erm, I guess it would be hard to check a talk page, as I suggested, if one is oblivious about the existence of the pages it talks about. We've had a List of atheists for at least a year (probably much longer, but that's all I can vouch for), and I have personally doubled its length. Do feel free to scrap it, though, as long as you transfer all the information to each of the 850 people's individual entries first. What we've got here is celebatheists.com done to WP standards, with proper referencing and not just 'celebrities'. People seem to think it's a good idea.

Keep and clarify or merge and redirect to event: please read: User_talk:Sandstein scroll down to discussion concerning Einat Haran. It was agreed to have only biographical content in SamirKuntar and thereby it was suggested to open an event article where people involved would be redirected there. However in the middle of the discussion some confusion was created, because some admin decided on his own to delete the Einat Haran discussion and redirect it there, although he claims that it was "merged". No one wants it to be merged with Samir Kuntar, the whole issue around Samir Kuntar Nasser Operation and Einat Haran needs to be resolved in one way or another, without having any admin jumping the gun, before the other admins and editors come to some solution together.. and in this example the delete was taking place.. just as the opposing groups were near a final solution.

Article contains a pure listing of the results without context (see WP:NOT#STATS). PROD was declined by reason of " a ton of sport articles present just result tables", which is in my opinion not a valid reason to include this article.) Adrianwn ( talk) 07:11, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Don't delete. This article belong to WikiProject A1 Grand Prix and is a part of the 2005-06 race reports. Not all reports articles are completed (some of them are like 2005-06 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, United States of America or all 2007-08 reports like 2007-08 A1 Grand Prix of Nations, Shanghai, China). Of course, these articles need to be improved. Let the project members work on it. The WikiProject A1 Grand Prix is a small WikiProject but with the main WikiProject Motorsport we decide to let time to improve the race report articles like 2007-08 reports (see e.g link above). - Rollof1 ( talk) 08:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Keep. It's a synopsis page of one of the 2005-06 A1 Grand Prix season's race weekends. You can't just single out this particular page just because it doesn't have as much details as some of the other results. Let us in the A1GP WikiProject deal with it. If we find more useful information for the article, we'll add it. Obviously older races before the WikiProject was setup won't have as many details as fairly recent/futures races, but cut us some slack... TheChrisD Rants• Edits 08:53, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Actually I don't intend to single out this article, I'm just using it as a test case for about 15 other articles which look the same. Furthermore, it's not like I nominated a young article for deletion: this one has been looking the same (a table of racing results) for more than two and a half years. The article violates WP:WWIN and there was no indication that this was going to change in the foreseeable future. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Adrianwn ( talk • contribs) 10:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
With that sort of logic, it's as if you're saying that all race weekend pages from all forms of motorsport should be deleted... TheChrisD Rants• Edits 14:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
No, it is not. The problem is not that the article is about a race weekend, but that it is a just a table about the results of the race, with no or just minimal context. Please read WP:NOT#STATS. Adrianwn ( talk) 15:24, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
If that really were the case, then 80% of all the Formula One race weekend pages should be deleted... Take the 1996 Belgian Grand Prix for example. I don't see any AfD or prod for it, even in it's history... TheChrisD Rants• Edits 15:44, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
I've just looked through your contributions, and it seems as if you nominated 14 of such articles for speedy deletion. Three days have since passed without any deletion, before someone removed the template, because the speedy deletion didn't happen. It also looks as if half of your edits over the past few days have been to nominate articles for deletion, and from the lack of red links, it doesn't appear as if they have been successful. TheChrisD Rants• Edits 14:32, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Your argument concerning my other edits has nothing to do with this debate.
  • No, I did not nominate those other 14, similiar articles for speedy deletion (what makes you think that?), I proposed them for deletion (see rationale of this AfD). This means that they get deleted if within five days nobody objects to their deletion. However, somebody did object, so I took one of them to AfD, because I didn't agree with the reason for the objection (this is the recommended procedure for this case).
  • The reason why I proposed many articles for deletion is not that I am on some kind of "killing spree" ;-), but that I was going through the backlog of WikiProject Notability, and a lot of articles I found there were, in my opinion, candidates for deletion. But again, this has nothing to do with this debate.
  • The reason why you don't see any red links in my contributions is that deleted articles are not listed there.

Don't get irritated :). Wikipedia:WikiProject A1 Grand Prix and WikiProject Motorsport think these articles are enough pertinent to keep them. There aren't good but starting artcicles (like the ones quote TheChrisD about F1). We need to improve them (probably not in the close future) otherwise we must delete all A1GP race report articles (this debate was already discussed in WikiProject Motorsport talk pages concluding to keep). - Rollof1 ( talk) 16:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Keep - I removed prod because this article is pretty much up to the standards of most Wikipedia articles on sport competitions. Just check any article about Beijing Olympics - they all could be deleted on the same grounds as they contain nothing else but the result tables. I agree that such standard / format is really low and should be improved, but deletion is not a proper venue for that. Renata ( talk) 18:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

    • We can spin a remake article out from the main Rocky Horror page when the shooting starts, not before. This film does not have a director or a cast yet and the October 2009 release date is aspirational. It's a long way from announcement to actual shooting and many many more film projects fail to shoot than succeed. Wikipedia should be a tertiary source of WP:verifiable facts published elsewhere.

Chinese copy method

Chinese copy method (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

The article is a well-disguised piece of original research. The sources cited are illustrations of counterfeiting and intellectual property infringements, not the so-called "Chinese copy method".

Basically, the term is a neologism. The cited references do not support the existence of the subject of the article, but instead offer illustrations of what the creator is terming the "Chinese copy method". I've looked at the cited references in detail, and conclude as follows:

  • It seems that if the term doesn't actually exist, this should be merged to Reverse engineering rather than deleting all content, as this phenomenon (of Chinese companies getting hold of foreign-made products, taking them apart to figure out how they're constructed, then making their own version, often in a blatantly illegal fashion) is well known and has been widely reported. Badagnani ( talk) 02:33, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Use of term found. In the following the term is used in a technically inappropriate way in a common pejorative manner:

EUROPE WAS CROWING, and it could be heard all the way across the ocean. Airbus called Boeing's new 787 Dreamliner "dreaming in seattle," and Airbus's then-CEO Noel Forgard dismissed the 787 as a "Chinese copy of [airbus's] A330." ...

As far as I can tell, all of the provided third-party references that can be considered reliable don't actually talk about this group. The CBS news one is about the Canadian military telling it's soldiers to not post their photos on Facebook. The Computerworld article is about the Simon Weisenthal Center. Perhaps I've missed something but all of the refs that actually cover the group are publications OF the group. It would seem to fail WP:N as a result. A Facebook vandalism group doesn't seem particularly notable, and WP:ONEEVENT seems to apply here as well, as the overall breadth of coverage is pretty scant.

The other Post article, which is actually an opinion piece, seems to have been written by you? Possible conflict of interest? Regardless, a couple of articles that say the same thing don't really help establish notability beyond a one event kind of thing. Every day, people form pretend "groups" and claim they're notable for hijacking sites. Many of them have tried to create articles here and they're pretty much all been deleted.

Liberal Party candidates, 40th Canadian federal election

Liberal Party candidates, 40th Canadian federal election (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

This is one of many dumping grounds for biographies of non-notable unelected politicians. It is a compromise approach, between those wanting deletion of non-notable bios and those who want to keep them. They're kept, fully intact, but grouped up in a here. There's only a small number of bios now, but this will grow when the election is called. Prior to nominating, I considered simply fixing it, by removing all the WP:BLP information that's not properly cited. But, the problem is, that it's *all* unsourced. Every word. What's happening is political party operatives write promotional pieces for candidates, usually copy/pastes from their web site. These promo articles are spotted by an established Wikipedian, who sees they're not notable, and then merges it into an article like this. Now, if somebody wishes to go to the effort of making an article that's an actual list of all Liberal candidates, than that might be good, but I suggest it's probably easier to create a true list from scratch, since you don't want to have a section for each item in a list. This has one-section per riding, because it's designed to have full bios for each riding's candidate. Every reason we have for deleting non-notable biographies should apply to deleting a holding tank for non-notable biographies. Rob ( talk) 03:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and clean-up. What's wrong with removing all unsourced content? An article listing the candidates and sourced info seems reasonable to me and if there is sufficient sourced content for any particular entry, then it can be a break-out article of its own.

    • Prediction: Nobody will clean this up properly.

Once the election is over, all editing of the page will stop, and this page will look just like most similar cases . -- Rob ( talk) 01:40, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply
    • Prediction #2: Without this, we'll end up with a pile of separate individual articles about each individual Liberal Party candidate. None of them will get properly cleaned up either. A few will get deleted and recreated again; many more will just sit there as permanent clutter. I'm certainly a big fan of the goal that every article on Wikipedia should be of maximum quality, but if there must be imperfect works in progress we're infinitely better off with one article that needs more cleanup work than it's getting instead of 308 articles that need more cleanup work than they're getting. And make no mistake: even with policies in place that explicitly inveigh against unsourced articles about unelected politicians, there are hundreds of them and not nearly enough attention being paid to cleaning up or deleting them. As much as you may want it to be, the actual choice at hand isn't between this and properly sourced cleanliness — it's between this and dividing this into 308 pieces that will get even less cleanup attention than this currently is.

  • Delete - if it's not fair. First: This whole idea appears to lost it's way from the early beginning. The list of ridings was a good start but the notion seems to have lost it's way in the transition to it's current form. Why not have a single list of ridings and show all nominees, for all parties, for each riding? And, why make it just for the 40th Federal Election? Why not make it flexible enough that it can be used for the next election as well? Perhaps a chronology of nominated candidates would be a better solution - winners and losers. Do we really want to go through this again and again? Another point is that this information is already available in Wikipedia and just needs to be brought together. Secondly: I object strongly to the notion that unelected nominees are somehow non-notable. The fact that they won their nomination IS notable - at least to the people of Canada. These people have a history and usually have some standing in their communities and rightly deserve to have their own page. Often they have made an impact in the world for reasons far greater then merely being nominated (I could list hordes of people listed as notable because they played some minor role on a hockey team). As I understand it, Wikipedia is supposed to be a source of information, There are over 110,000 people in my riding and they deserve to have something more than cursory comments about the people they are looking up. The current conception does not allow the user to access that information for unelected nominees. Why, for example, am I allowed to click on Walt Lastewka's name and get re-directed to his page? Yet, Heather Carter who is notable for more than her candidacy, on the other hand, gets no such courtesy. Are they not both running in the same election? Is the information on Heather Carter somehow less valuable than the information on Walt Lastewka? If the courtesy is not extended fairly and equitably then I say we should delete and then fire the Deletionists. Better yet: fix it up so that it becomes a handy source of information and allow links to candidate pages - that's fair AND informative. ( talk) johncaron.ca 19:35, 22 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Walt Lastewka has already been elected to the House of Commons, which means that he falls within the class of politicians who are inherently notable because they've actually held a seat in a federal or provincial legislature. If you think Heather Carter is notable enough for an article, then you're certainly free to write up an article that actually contains real, verifiable, neutral sources — if she's received media coverage for her work, then actually citing it is usually sufficient — and comes from sources independent of the subject, rather than reading like you typed it straight off her campaign brochure the way the previous version did. But WP:POLITICIAN is quite clear that candidacy for political office is not a sufficient claim of notability on its own. If she's notable for more than just being a candidate, then the onus is on you to show it. Bearcat ( talk) 00:52, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
If somebody is not notable enough for a stand-alone biography, why is that you think it's ok to copy/paste the exact same bio text into a section of a page like this? Does unsourced material, badly sourced material, blatant promotionalism, non-notability, and, copyright violations become acceptable because it has more company on the same page? How does the merge/redirect process fix these problems ? It's the approach of merging/redirecting into this article, that's at the root of this AFD. -- Rob ( talk) 01:15, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
AFD consensus came up with the merged biopage solution in the first place, so I'll thank you to stop approaching this as if it were about me. Simply deleting articles on non-notable candidates doesn't work, because then they just get recreated again without any actual improvements — but leaving them as standalone articles fails numerous Wikipedia policies and leaves us with up to 308 articles that need far more improvement than they ever going to get, instead of just one article that needs improvement. What alternative solution would you honestly propose? Bearcat ( talk) 01:35, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
Back when you started this blanket-blind-merge compromise approach, Wikipedia wasn't yet taking BLP issues as seriously as it does now. WP:BLP now makes clear that BLP violations can and should be removed from *all* locations in Wikipedia immediately. They shouldn't be simply relocated. For instance, it used to be ok to push violations to the talk page, for discussion and improvement. But now BLP violations must be removed immediately, anywhere. If you choose to do a merge/redirect it's your obligation to remove all unsourced (potentially) contentious material immediately. If that means removing all the text, then so-be-it. You keep on talking about violations of policy in stand-alone biographies, but don't explain why those same violations in merged articles is somehow less bad. It discredits Wikipedia when we publish campaign brochures, with light editing, *regardless* of whether we publish one promo-per-page or multiple-promos-per-page. Junk is junk. Merged junk is still junk. What solutions do I propose: Follow WP:BLP and others policies consistantly. If something meets the criteria, keep it, else delete. Merge/redirects is for *legitimate* material which needs to be relocated, for reasons such as providing proper context. -- Rob ( talk) 01:58, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
What part of "I did not start this approach; AFD consensus started this approach" are you having trouble grasping? And no, it is not my special obligation to remove all unsourced material immediately upon doing a merge/redirect — every Wikipedian has that right at any time, and I have just as much right as any other Wikipedian to state that the outer limit of my interest in the subject is the act of ensuring that the content is in its correct place, so that the people who do want to review it for sources and WP:BLP conformity can do so. Beyond that, I have no more obligation in the matter than you do — my interest in unelected political candidates begins and ends at keeping the categories clean. If you choose to take on the equally important task of ensuring that the articles are properly sourced and/or have unsourced content deleted, then good on you, because it's sorely needed — but neither you nor I have any responsibility to take on any task we don't choose to take on. That's part of being a Wikipedian: I get to decide which tasks I'll take on and which I won't, and you get to make that same decision for yourself. If I choose to look after the relocation part of our policy for unelected candidates, but leave the reviewing for sources part to other people who care more about that aspect of this particular topic, it's my place to decide whether that's okay or not, not yours. Bearcat ( talk) 02:16, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
You are not responsible for all merge/redirects. You are responsible for all of *your* merge/redirects. By attaching your name to your edits, you make it less likely for others to check the work, since they think an established user already checked it. Surely, you expect other users to [{WP:AGF]] and assume you wouldn't add copyright violations and promotion to an article. I am not asking you take on any task you don't want. I am just asking you to stop doing a task that's harmful. -- Rob ( talk) 02:55, 23 August 2008 (UTC) reply
The identity of the Wikipedia editor who added the content only comes into play if (a) you're on Recent Changes patrol in the first 15-30 seconds after the edit is made, or (b) mine happens to be the top edit on people's watchlists, which is only true until the next edit comes along or the page scrolls off the bottom of the list.

An anonymous editor nominated this article on August 10th. I'm completing the nomination. The editor's rationale follows: "The article has been tagged as Advertising since March 2008. It was proposed as G11 in June, said proposal apparently failing in the history. This article still reads as self-promoting spam, and there is a vague assertion of corporate notability but it doesn't pass a smell test to me. Specifically it does not pass WP:CORP, specifically that the company has not has significant coverage in secondary sources. No mention of corporate size or other reasons that it is notable except for local articles. The bulk of the article reads like advertising about the company's products.

Her only claim to fame seems to be that she was the girlfriend of Brian Jones and having written two books about him (neither of which appear to be very notable). - Icewedge ( talk) 05:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • There is a lot of trivial coverage about her on google, but I can't see anything substantial except for the one Independent article in the references.
    Redirect to Brian Jones — redirects are cheap, and it could be a plausible search term. -- Amalthea Talk 21:10, 16 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Weak Keep First of all, I must point out that I started the article, and this week keep should be read with that in mind. Icewedge and Amalthea argue a very strong case. With greatest respect to Ms Wohlin, I agree she is not very notable. As for references, (again with greatest respect to her) no doubt she would appear but as a footnote character in works on the Rolling Stones, and only some of these would be reliable references.
I guess the point of principle here is whether Wikipedia should have articles for very famous peoples' girlfriends (or boyfriends), where notability is completely contingent on the famous person. (I'd say yes, but there are rules.)
Perhaps there are (admittedly somewhat ghoulish) differences, in that she was witness to Jones' death, and that she made claims that his death was not by misadventure. Admittedly any notability arising from this would again be an epiphenomenon of Jones and his passing.
In summary, my (no doubt biased) opinion is that the subject of the article is at best marginally notable, but notable nevertheless. -- Shirt58 ( talk) 10:39, 17 August 2008 (UTC). See below for reasons why this weak keep striked. reply

List of available U.S. stamp denominations

List of available U.S. stamp denominations (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

This article has not cited any sources for over a year. I finally found a reliable source [32], which makes it clear that the denominations listed on this page are wildly out of date. This article will probably never be anything substantially more than the table on that page, and will likely suffer from neglect and become outdated and hence useless. Wikipedia is not a directory and Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. If this article is kept, at a minimum it must be rewritten to reflect currently available denominations, and it should be tidied up with some connecting prose so that it's at least a little better than the table from the USPS site. It seems to me, however, that it could easily be deleted and replaced with a link to the relevant USPS page, which will always be more up-to-date than Wikipedia can be. — Bkell ( talk) 00:41, 14 August 2008 (UTC) reply

A ginormous, far from complete list of albums containing a hidden track. While the concept of a hidden track is certainly notable, I feel that this list fails WP:LC criteria #2 (The list is of interest to a very limited number of people) and #3 (The list is a violation of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information).

  • Conditional delete I believe a decent article could be created that is a list of notable hidden tracks. This would be albums containing hidden tracks that are reported in reputable independent resources; this would naturally be shorter than a list of notable albums that happen to contain hidden tracks. But, such a list would really require someone actively watching the article to see that the inclusion criteria is strictly enforced. Concievably, the inclusion criteria of this list can be explicitly stated (as per WP:SAL) to reflect the same thing; in which case, i'm fine with keeping it. I do like the idea of albums with a hidden track existing as a category, if such is not already the case. - Verdatum ( talk) 16:40, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

      • What would make a hidden track "notable" though? The only one I can think of that would really be "notable" would be " Skin (Sarabeth)" because it wound up being released as a single. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ( Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 18:38, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
        • It's a fair question. My response: It's not the hidden tracks that are notable here, it's the albums that contain them. Certainly the addition of hidden tracks is a concept that is more commonplace today than it was in the past; that might be where our answer here is. So many albums have hidden tracks now that it's not a distinguishing feature. Would you agree with that statement? Townlake ( talk) 19:51, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
        • I was using the word "notable" in terms of the general criteria for notability. IOW, a hidden track that has recieved "significant coverage in reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject", and I have no idea how many hidden tracks can meet this criteria, but I'd expect it to be small. Certainly, any hidden tracks that meet WP:SONG would also be appropriate. Concerning the uniqueness of hidden tracks, I had just presumed it was a fad of the 90s, and had been declining in occurences since then, but what do I Know (yes, I'm too lazy to read the hidden track article right now). Concerning the reason for it not being a category, thank you for pointing that out, Townlake. I must admit, I don't understand the reasoning given in either the previous AfD or the prior CfD for the now-deleted category, but I expect that my understanding for criteria for categories is just off, I'm much more of an article person :) - Verdatum ( talk) 21:27, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

The list contains information one cannot find elsewhere. The list should contain only notable hidden tracks, i.e. hidden tracks on albums that deserve a place (a separate article) on Wikipedia or have a special reputation. To decrease the length of the list one could implement this system. -- Brz7 ( talk) 15:30, 26 August 2008 (UTC) reply
This is an appropriate list topic, not a repository or loosely associated list.

A non-notable performer, to put it mildly.

  • Delete per nom, although i'd point out that those ref's not being in the article is an invalid argument; if I found a band that had one multiple grammies but didn't have em listed on their WP page, it doesn't mean that the band is non-notable just because the info doesn't exist on WP. Research shows that Lizha James was in a pair of other bands, but neither are notable per WP:MUSIC, so that fails. Ironho lds 16:31, 21 August 2008 (UTC) reply

United States presidential election, 2012 (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

First of all, the election is over 4 years away, so there is no information about it, other than the date. All the article says is IF Obama or McCain....they might run. As far as I'm concerned, there is not evidence either would run again, even the winner might not run again. It also says "Other Republicans that could run are....". That is also unsourced. Realistically, there could be 435 House members that could run, along with 100 Senators, 50 governors, and dozens of mayors and other top officials from both political parties. This article is very unsourced, and the only sourced thing is the date. The page could also be redirected back to United States presidential election where it use to redirect to.

  • Strongest possible keep. The 2012 election is the next election for senators elected in 2006. We should always have articles on the next election for major offices in any country, especially in the case of set elections. This allows information to be added over time, and prevents dozens of articles being started up for candidates who may or may not be successful. Anything after 2012 is crystal-balling, but this is not: it's the next election. Change to Neutral, as I was wrong about what election it was.

A vanity biography that doesn't pass WP:BIO or notability. All but two of the sources are self referential, and I am left with no impression that this artist is encyclopedic at this point in time. Keegan talk 04:15, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

I am the creator of this article, and I have to disagree that the article is at all "vanity" based. This is one of the first original articles I have written on wikipedia and I was very suprised to see it tagged for deletion before I had even completed the page. I am not a friend or family member of this artist. The artist in question has an impressive list of galleries where his work has been shown, including an appearance at the largest music & art festival in the US, of which only a very select few are chosen. He is well known in contemporary art and activism circles in Montreal and New York. I feel it would be a shame to delete the article. Footnotes have been diversified. -- RoboticArtProf ( talk) 17:09, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Seeing no determination yet so I would like to add that per wiki guidelines for WP:Bio if "The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular" – although not irrelevant – is secondary." Under the category "unusual/interesting" this artist passes. Even a cursory examination of the artwork should belie the fact the art in question is unique and highly unusual. Also, per wiki guidelines an artist passes notability if "(B)The person's work has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" : an invitation into the largest art and music festival in the U.S. (the Bonaroo festival) would be presumed to qualify. At this point I must advocate for a bad faith nomination. Also noting that if a person with a stated knowledge of the contemporary art world could make a determination, this would seem to be the most logical route.-- RoboticArtProf ( talk) 18:50, 13 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I agree with Cunard. As you are need to Wikipedia, Rob, you need to understand that this is how our AfD process works. Indeed, it does reference official WP:BIO eligibility as you need to have a lot of sources. Usually people check Google just to see how notable the subject is and if it's worth keeping or not. This is how we follow the guidelines. I would like to add that a lot of the references are written by him and there's a lot of unsourced information.

  • Comment. From the guidelines : "The topic of an article should be notable, or "worthy of notice"; that is, "significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded."[1] Notable in the sense of being "famous", or "popular" – although not irrelevant – is secondary." There can be no one that disagrees that this is an extremely unusual modern artwork. Guidelines specifically state that popularity, or number of google search results is not a valid reason for deletion. Also, per wiki guidelines an artist passes notability if "(B)The person's work has been a substantial part of a significant exhibition" : The Bonnaroo festival is the largest and most popular art festival in US history. Only 2 out of 7 quotes are from the artist's site, and only exist to back up direct quotes from the artist within the wiki article. This artist has been attacked in the media for political reasons before and I just hope that this is not happening now. I research guidelines before writing all my articles to help ensure that that they are acceptable. —Preceding unsigned comment added by RoboticArtProf ( talk • contribs) 23:39, 27 August 2008 (UTC) reply

Italian Empire (entity, 1936–1943)

Italian Empire (entity, 1936–1943) (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

This article is essentially a content fork from Italian Colonial Empire. I am proposing this article for deletion for the following reasons:

  • The "Italian Empire" was officially declared by Mussolini in 1936 but he was just giving a name to something that was the same the day after his proclamation as the day before.
  • There is already an existing article for the "entity" that Mussolini renamed, at Italian Colonial Empire: the two were one and the same.
  • What content deserves to be at Italian Empire (entity, 1936–1943) but not Italian Colonial Empire? None, as far as I can see. Again, the two were one and the same thing after the declaration.
  • The situation is similar to Third Reich and Greater German Reich which redirect to Nazi Germany, rather than have their own article (despite the latter being the official name from 1942). Admittedly, German Reich has its own article, but this was a term that spanned eras and political administrations, and there is no German Reich (entity, 19XX-XX) article.

    • Comment Although you're agreeing with my AfD, I have to say that's not true, Herr Direktor: Mussolini did declare the "Italian Empire" in 1936 (see Lowe, C.J. (2002). Italian Foreign Policy 1870-1940. Routledge.,p289). So I personally don't dispute that this thing actually existed, I just dispute that it requires a separate article from Italian Colonial Empire.

      • What I meant was that the state did not become an "Empire". The King did not proclaim himself the "Emperor of Italy". -- DIREKTOR ( TALK) 00:54, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • DISCLAIMER: I WAS ASKED TO COMMENT. This is a goofy setup. It looks as though this article is not a content fork of the entire article, but a split-out of the section currently titled "Fascism and the "Italian Empire" (1922-1940)". However, the name Italian Empire was used only from 1936 to 1943, according to the article. At the same time, the other sections of "Italian Colonial Empire" don't seem to address the empire. Italian Empire redirects to this article; this was the official name. Therefore, I'd say move to Italian Empire, merge the sections "Fascism and the "Italian Empire" (1922-1940)" and "End of Empire (1943-1960)" into it, and redirect "Italian Colonial Empire" to "Italian Empire".

User:Ctjf83, I'm afraid I disagree with you there. If THRoPF hadn't notified me I (very probably) wouldn't have found this discussion. He/she was not, in my view, canvassing but simply notifying editors he/she knew were interested in the topic about this discussion. And since we're an unruly lot in this area, I'd say the notion that editors would come over and dutifully line up and say 'delete!' would be wildly over-optimistic, and I'm sure THRoPF would agree with me. On the substantive matter at hand, I'd say Jeremy's detailed analysis and proposal just about sums it up as far as I'm concerned. AlasdairGreen27 ( talk) 14:26, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Delete as a POV-fork, which is disallowed: We get a proliferation of articles along these lines. Is fascist Italy blue? Is Italy in World War 2 blue? Without some coherence and plan to the presentation of the material, we end up duplicating. As a political act the creation of the "empire" has significance, but as a geo-political entity, it is synonymous with "fascist Italy," or very nearly so. What is important is not the victory of this point of view or that, but the logical, coherent presentation of information in a way that will be most accessible and logical for readers. This name and presentation fails those vital criteria. Utgard Loki ( talk) 16:41, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Probably merge -- This article is covering the same ground as two section of Italian Colonial Empire; we cannot have both. There are two possible solutions: (1) merge to that article (2) restructure that article so that this article can be a sub-article to one section, linked by a main template. I would prefer the merge option, but there is probably not very much content in this article to be trasferred in merging. Note I was also summoned here by User:The Red Hat of Pat Ferrick.

It was nominated for deletion twice in 2006 because it was a dicdef; it survived both as "no consensus", but two years later it's still basically a dicdef. I think this should be deleted and Skank (disambiguation) should be moved to Skank. -- Bongwarrior ( talk) 23:50, 19 August 2008 (UTC) reply

  • Move Skank (dance) to Skank. Why is this even at AfD? Either the root article should be the most common name or it should be the disambig. No-brainer. Chris Cunningham (not at work) - talk 00:20, 20 August 2008 (UTC) reply
  • Redirect to Slut or move/disambiguate as suggested above. No doubt that the term skank is a dictionary definition (possibly Slut is too but that's for another place). However, there is apparently valid content or at least a redirect that can go to Skank, so no deletion needed. I fear this AFD will be deluged with people who've heard the term skank and think we thusly need an article on it... but really, what on earth can we do with this term except define it and give examples? That's not for an encyclopedia, it's a dictionary definition.

Tommaso Squitti (  | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) ( delete) – ( View AfD)

Article was previously deleted after Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tommaso Squitti. Creator has added a new source. (The source does refer to the subject if the translator program translated "Tommaso" as "Thomas". The questions now are, is the title "Baron of Palermiti and Guarna " sufficiently notable, and is the sourcing sufficient. Speedily deleted before with a Google book source in Italian. Now sourced by a google book translation. I speedied, but reconsidered after looking more closely at the new source. It is difficult to validate sources electronically about people who lived in the 19th century. Cheers, Dloh cierekim 14:29, 15 August 2008 (UTC) reply

There is another source that refers to Tommasso Squitti as the Nobility of Italy, a book.
^ Nobility of Italy, The Mormon Library(The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints)- UTAH
While I am a third generation Canadian I am surprised how the history of "The Nobility of Euorpe" and especially Italy has been somewhat erased from History.) I discovered 'these Squitti's over the Internet in Europe some 5 years ago and 'coincidence' suggests we may be related.
This gives me the opportunity to comment on 'The Nobility of Italy" If you remove Tommasso Squitti, he was the individual given the title of Baron suggesting that he will not show up on the site referring to the Nobility of Italy as well.
Under the Feudal system 'these" people controlled large tracts of land, and after the 'political revolutions' they lost their titles and possibly their lands to the majority ? Seems there is alot of history missing that relates to 'these people' throughout europe and russia, except countries like England who maintained their Monarchies....
Thanks

  • Important As a third generation Canadian I was unaware of the Squitti's 'NOBILITY' background. My grandfather was known as Baron Cesare Squitti, however the term Baron was unknown to me. It appears Italian history is ignoring the 'politically incorrect' truths prior to the formation of Italy as a country, when they had the "nobility" as did most all other European countries. The network of 'nobility' appears lost in today's 'democratic' societies. Tomasso Squitti was in fact the individual who was granted the coat of arms and other, and would appear to be the most important of the Squitti's in southern Italy.

I have yet to establish the link between my grandfather Baron Cesare Squitti from Malito, Italy, and Tomasso Squitti's from Maida, Italy. There is no doubt a connection somewhere, in fact we are all related, somehow, somewhere.

Sad that the true history of many North American's and their connections to the "nobility" of the past is being lost....

The issue is whether this person is notable or not. There are plenty of listings, where individuals WHO WORK FOR or who are related (perhaps Maternally) are doing listings, or for that matter, people with names that are not names...if I make myself clear.

Thanks for raising the issue. It is an important one, a conflict of interest, and that can affect the 'slant' of an article. That is very, very important. I am certain that 'history' is full of such conflicts....
