MSPROJECT 2003

This article is currently listed for translation-cleanup at WP:PNT, but comments there and on the talk page suggest that VfD is a better place for it. I vote delete as unencyclopedic advertising. Physchim62 00:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Portuguese. Appears to be junk, although I can't be sure. Sarge Baldy 16:12, May 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Not junk as such, at least not nonsense in the WP sense, but worryingly commercial. Appears to promote this book: relevant material should be merged with project management. Physchim62 18:13, 19 May 2005 (UTC) reply
  • He is promoting his webiste. And I call it junk: there's little relevant material that can be properly merged with project management, since this article mostly describes a specific, Brazil-centric methodology of project management, not suitable for merging with a broad encyclopedic entry such as project management. Finally, he's intentionally trying to mislead users by using a trademark. zanderredux 13:32, 3 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Exceedingly weak Strong Keep pending verification of some of the facts in the article. If he's a prominent representative of the " nerdcore" music style (yes, it does exist) then I'd say he meets WP:MUSIC #6. Also, the performance alongside major rap artists and the writing credit, if true, would further show some notability. android 79 01:21, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
    • The evidence detailed on the talk page is impressive, and I have changed my vote accordingly. android 79 23:40, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Seems to be genuine, and if it is it meets WP:MUSIC. They only things I can't verify are the links between hacking NASA, the music and the porn. -- Apyule 03:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep As much as this looks like vanity, the name has 25,700 google hits, the top set of which at least superficially support the story. If that's not a keep, I don't know what is. I don't know how much editing the thing needs, but this guy is definitely a live one. A. J. Luxton 08:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep ytc is the og. he really did/does all that stuff
  • Keep If you doubt the claims about YTCracker you better ps ax about him.
  • Keep I have spent 2 weeks cross referencing everything that is on wikipedia about Ytcracker and with articles across the net. This is definetly legitimate.
  • Keep budz says YT is the OG DG, ya better ask somebody.
  • Keep I've known Bryce Case Jr. (A.K.A. YTCracker) for about 5 years now. I can honestly say a large majority of this information is factual and true. YTCracker is the pioneer of Nerdcore rap, i remeber hearing one of his first AOL rap songs about 4 years ago, whoever came after him is just jumping on the nerdcore groupie train. I agree with A J Luxton's post above 20,000 + hits on google for "ytcracker" says it all. I don't know how much more proof you guys need. - Joe, New York, NY(jpm@jpmventuregroup.com)
  • Weak keep and cleanup per the first three votes, and despite the anonymous votes following it. Remove the download external link; self-promotion. Barno 14:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • I suppose I really cannot vote on my own behalf, nor did I write this article, however whatever "proof" that you would require for legitimization of the facts in this article can easily be provided. YTCracker
    • Certainly you can vote; but the admin closing this VfD is likely to give less weight to your vote since you're the topic. I would recommend that, while the VfD is in progress, you add links to the article's talk page which verify the activities, such as mainstream media coverage. Other editors can review them and add material they find appropriate. Anonymous "he is the OG DG, ya better ask somebody" votes are far less likely to persuade other editors. Barno 18:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • OK - I have created a mutilated talk page for the VfD with various links to articles and photo/video evidence. Most of the respective proof can be independently Googled if you were bored enough. -- Ytcracker 23:32, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

She only draws 647 Google hits, but this may be more due to the fact that she is a woman from the 19th century than any lack of notability.

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.

Archive 1

As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.

This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.

This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.

This article is also not notable to non- Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.

Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.

This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. It's a real Digimon, made official through the FAX Digimon contest in Japan. Several notable Digimon (like Cyber Dramon) have been such Digimon. There's no information on Babydramon other than his name, but if we're going to have Digimon entries, why not have all Digimon entries, even if they have to all be merged into List_of_Digimon? It feels incomplete and inconsistent to have only Digimon that are (somewhat arbitrarily) deemed notable. Every Pokémon has its own individual entry, however non-notable, and every, or nearly every Naruto character has at least a short biography on the Characters_of_Naruto page. If every ninja and Pokémon can have an entry or a section on a page, why can't every Digimon? Shining Celebi 00:49, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I agree with Shining Celebi. -- Toksyuryel talk | contrib 01:35, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. 1. Babydramon is an official Digimon as cited by Shining_Celebi. 2. Whether or not this is fancruft is highly dependant on whether one is a fan of the series and as such by putting this entry on vote, you place all individual character entries of not just television series but movies as well on trial. Whatever should happen to this entry should be applied to other individual character pages as well. 3. Whether or not this entry is fancruft is irrevelant as the purpose of Wikipedia is to be and I quote: The Free Encyclopedia and as such should be an Encyclopedia as defined by http://www.dictionary.com , "A comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field, usually arranged alphabetically.". The keyword is comprehensive and this entry indeed fulfills the job of an encyclopedia entry by contributing comprehensive information on the subject (Babydramon) and its parent (Digimon). 4. This article does not merit deletion according to the Wikipedia Vote For Deletion policy page. This is not a hoax, and if deemed to be so minor as to not merit its own entry, then should be merged with an appropriate entry. Takato 01:47:34, 2005-08-18 (UTC)
  • Merge or Expand. If it's real, adding the history Shining Celebi mentioned to the article would be useful (rather than just "he's rumored to exist since he was mentioned in passing in one episode"). - Matthew0028 04:35, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Needs Improvement. I've done a lot of work creating articles for "rumored" characters, and to make such an article work, it needs to be longer than a few sentences and backed by reasons why this character was rumored to appear while never actually appearing. For example, my articles on rumored Mortal Kombat characters Nimbus Terrafaux and Belokk contain real facts and reasons, rather than speculation. I'm not a fan of Digimon, yet I'm not going to say anything about fancruft. I just don't think the article itself is encyclopedically noteworthy unless it is expanded, merged, and/or improved.

This article was just VfD:ed under the title chiangchun and voted to be moved to this page, though without voters actually paying any attention what the VfD was actually about, which is why I'm resubmitting this again in the hope that people will try to focus on the relevant this time. The previous state of the article made a bogus claim of the word having a meaning separate from the Western concept of general and that there existed a specific knight-like warrior caste in ancient China akin to the Western knights or perhaps samurai, all of it utterly unverifiable. In the previous VfD, there were some very questionable claims that since this word can be used to designate one of the pieces in Xiangqi, Chinese chess, and since it can be used in Chinese similar to a verb meaning "checkmate", it would be enough to grant it a separate article. Verb usage or not, this is a pure dictionary definition and should be deleted. Peter Isotalo 13:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Transwiki. While the Xiangqi reference moves this beyond pure dicdef, that reference is sufficiently covered by the Xiangqi article itself; no more than a redirect is needed for this part. Scrap that part of the stub and you've got the dicdef. Lomn | Talk 14:50:02, 2005-08-17 (UTC)

True metal

Since I added the stub notice in February, this page wasn't significantly expanded. In a Google search for "True metal" all the pages were either about music or clones of this page. I can therefore reasonably assume that someone made up the term true metal without a serious reason. If we can't make head nor tail of this page, it'd better be deleted (and True metal (music) could then be moved here). Army1987 15:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I don't see why you couldn't just blank the page, copy the contents of True metal (music) to it, and turn the (music) page into a redirect. Nothing needs to be deleted, although it would make for a messy edit history. Which I suppose you might want to avoid. -- Icelight 18:20, August 17, 2005 (UTC)
I didn't think that up. However, should anybody know what the hell "true metals" are and provide more information (however, that's highly unlikely IMO), this page could survive.-- Army1987 20:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: I think you'll find that "true metals" gives more pertinent results (1850 hits, of which only a handful seem to be Wikipedia-related). However, it seems that "true metals" are simply true metals, i.e. not metalloids. If that's correct, then a) the list on this page is ridiculous, and b) this article is redundant with Metal. -- Visviva 00:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • In view of the above, I vote to keep but turn into a disambiguation page, with one link to True metal (music) and one to Metal. -- Visviva 00:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • If it is just that, IMO the page is useless. Why not make tons of pages about "true foo" and "true bar" which redirect to "foo" and "bar" because the phrase "true foo" is often used to contrast with pseudo-foo? That's nothing more than the dictionary meaning of the word true. Delete and bring True metal (music) here, adding a dablink template notice about metals (I'm going to add one myself).-- Army1987 23:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC) reply

        • You claim that it's war but you've only listed my actions. 11:48 I recovered a bad speedy (the article you currently see sailing through VfD). 15:46-16:03 I repeated the operation because again a rogue administrator had speedied an obvious non-speedy candidate. 16:13 and 16:14 I took action to take away the rogue's excuse for speedying. I'm not at war with geogre. At most I'm in dispute with him. His actions in the dispute are to delete, concealing a blatantly non-speediable article from editors who are not also sysops; my actions in the dispute are to restore, making the article visible, and give the editors a chance to decide. This isn't war, it isn't even a police action, it's just a man with an ego being silly enough to think he can push it so far as to repeatedly delete content from Wikipedia without any scrutiny and get away with it. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 22:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
          • I would respond that "it's just a man with an ego being silly enough to think he can push it so far as to repeatedly " UNDELETE "content from Wikipedia without any scrutiny and get away with it". Can you explain why you violated WP:3RR by undeleting six times? That's an edit war. Or do you think that such concepts only apply to non-admins?

        • If you believe I have broken WP:3RR, please take steps to have me blocked for doing so.

          • I don't want you punished. I just want you to edit like a normal user. You "undeleted without scrutiny" when all you had to do was create a better article. You resorted to VfD after you realized the revert/delete war wasn't working. Why list an article that now only has what you created on VfD? To make a point. Of course a new article with real content would be kept. You nominated your own content that you wanted kept for deletion. Why? WP:POINT? - Tεx τ urε 22:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
          • I think you are pushing it a bit. I undeleted only as a result of a bad speedy. I have no problem referring such restorations to VfD and indeed see no reason to do so unless there is a serious dispute--administrators on Wikipedia perform hundreds of speedies every day, performing a great job with no immediate supervision, and make one or two mistakes, and I don't see any problem with other sysops like me exercising the same scrutiny on their speedies and fixing the very few mistakes they make. If you ever have a problem with any of my resurrections, it's a doddle to spot it in my deletion log and list it on VfD. There is absolutely no reason to introduce onerous procedural obligations. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 23:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, bad speedy. Kappa 23:12, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The first speedy by Geogre was perfectly valid, there was no claim to notability: Warren Benbow- drummer, songwriter, music producer and educator; b. New York, NY . Born December 22, 1954. However, Tony Sidaway created a new entirely different version which was encyclopedic [11] and Geogre's second, third and fourth speedies of this new version were entirely unjustified.

    A clueless newbie or vandal cannot "poison" a topic by creating an unworthy article that meets the speedy criteria. A speedy delete merely says the current version fails the very low threshold for retention and wipes the slate clean. It's simply a botched article; no judgement is made on whether the topic itself is unencyclopedic or non-notable (only a VfD does that). No vote for undeletion is needed to create a new article — the slate was wiped clean and it's as if the speedied article never existed. Nevertheless, a bad faith attempt to WP:POINT by recreating the speedied article with only cosmetic changes (such as merely adding the adjective "notable") would be very dimly viewed. However, that's certainly not the case here.

    Tony Sidaway should have recognized that the first speedy deletion was perfectly valid, and probably should have just created his new article without restoring the old speediable stub. By restoring it, he (wrongly) implicitly criticized Geogre's action in speedying it, and Geogre perhaps reacted with indignation. However, Geogre should have realized that the new article rewritten from scratch was in no way a speedy candidate. -- Curps 03:12, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • If someone is described as a "drummer, songwriter, music producer and educator" this appears to me to be quite a strong assertion of notability. I accept that geogre may not see it that way (this could be seen in my original note telling him I'd undeleted). This ambiguity in CSD7 is systemic so each administrator must use his own judgement. There is no absolute here; to me it's obviously an assertion of considerable notability, to you it isn't. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 08:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • This is not at all an assertion of notability. There are many, many people who could fit that description (such as, a high school teacher who plays in a band on weekends). Wikipedia:Deletion of vanity articles suggests: For instance, if the person's profession is cited, a reasonable guideline would be how many people have the same profession: there are tens of thousands of porn models, but very few senators. Even if you dislike the relatively recent "no assertion of notability" criterion for speedy deletion, it's not a solution to simply declare nearly anything to be "asserted notable". -- Curps 08:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
        • I think it's pushing it a bit to say that this description could be applied to a high school teacher. Most people would expect "music producer" to mean "a person who produces recorded music" and in fact this is precisely the case here. VfD is *good* at discerning when an assertion of notability is bogus (as with your hypothetical high school teacher). Individuals on RC patrol, historically, are not so good. It is therefore inappropriate to speedy. I objected to CSD 7 for one main reason: it relies on a vague phrase, "assertion of notability" that means different things to different people. And here we have a classic case. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 13:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • It is categorically false to state that the article was rewritten from scratch. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 08:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • Well here's the confusion: the anon author first created a non-speediable version (but badly formatted and indented, so that an entire paragraph was contained on one line, with most of the content invisible unless you scrolled horizontally way beyond the right edge of the browser window ("first version"). A few minutes later, the anon himself then truncated that first paragraph to one short sentence ("second version"). That second version was correctly tagged for speedy deletion and correctly speedied. I suppose it was that "first version" that you found and rescued. That "first version" was not speediable (though TenOfAllTrades reports it was a copyvio), but personally I never would never even have looked at it... when there are multiple editors, you check the history, but when there's just one editor you just look at their final revision. -- Curps 08:26, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
        • Thanks for pointing that out, but actually because of the bad formatting I would not have seen the extra text in the original even if I had looked at it (it scrolls off the right hand side of the screen). To me that looks like a copyvio of an entry I've seen elsewhere, probably allaboutjazz.com. So to reduce the confusion I want to make it absolutely plain: I considered the second, truncated version to be a good stub. It correctly identified the subject and told me absolutely everything I needed to know in order to expand the article. The problem of these bogus speedies would not exist if those doing RC patrol would use google before speedying. We are, after all, here to edit an encyclopedia, not just play with the delete button. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 13:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Prince Sigismund of Prussia

Unencyclopedic. Died as baby. Did nothing prominent, represented nothing prominent. All details can be put into his mother's article. 217.140.193.123 09:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC) Just the fact that he was born a royal, does not suffice. I have earlier stated some thumb-rule criteria of royal babies having an own article, such as if the baby in question left a country in a succession crisis when dying. Or possibly, if the history may have altered significantly, had the baby lived. Otherwise, all the pertinent details of the baby in question fit into articles of parent(s), and an own article is undeserved. For encyclopedia, it is fragmenting to make these separate articles. 217.140.193.123 09:02, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Mortal kombat spinn and Spinn (mortal kombat character)

This doesn't seem to be a real Mortal Kombat character and I can no mention of him on Google. According to the edit history on Black Dragon (Mortal Kombat), the organization to which the character supposedly belongs, the same user who created these two pages added him onto this page (IP address 67.136.142.x), and it sounds as if this character comes from the comic book but does not appear in any actual games. Not having played Mortal Kombat myself, I wouldn't know, but I can't find him in any Mortal Kombat official sites, either. I say delete for not being a real character, unless someone wants to start add a section of "characters not appearing in games" to the list of Mortal Kombat characters. -- Howcheng 16:57, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Slovenian or Slovene

A page created solely due to an internal dispute concerning the usage of either Slovenian or Slovene (the former is more common) with Eleassar and BT2 being the main protagonists. Non-encyclopedic wiki-internal conflict page. This info can either be covered in about two sentences in just about any article about Slovenians or the Slovenian language. Delete or redirect to Slovenian. Peter Isotalo 17:13, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Merge and redirect. Andrew pmk 18:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. User:Karmosin is simply wrong. First, although I contributed heavily to the discussion, the main protagonists of the conflict that participated in edit wars were User:XJamRastafire and User:BT2. Second, while this has been a wiki-internal dispute, the topic has frequently been brought up in non-wiki discussions both online and offline. This can be easily demonstrated by the sheer number of texts written on this question by experts (e.g. Edward Gobetz, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Kent State University and founding director of Slovenian Research Center of America and others) and at the same time this also demonstrates that the topic can be covered in two sentences no more easily than any other. I suggest you seeing these links before voting: [12], [13], [14] etc. Also have a look at Talk:Slovenians. -- Eleassar my talk 15:22, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • There is no relevant encyclopedic POV involved in any of the links. This information belongs in a Manual of Style or just general Slovene info webpages. The rest is just a lot of meta-debate about clever semantics. It doesn't even count as valid dictionary info because almost no one cares. Like one of the links points out: "Both are acceptable. Neither one is wrong. Consistency is always nice." End of story. / Peter Isotalo 22:41, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Suspect vanity. User made two contributions on 3 August and hasn't been back. Article claims person has won several international titles. I can not find evidence of any international titles. I have found evidence of at least one age-under-16 Australian state title, and possibly a similar national title (hard to decipher). Does this make this person of interest sufficient for an encyclopedia entry? Frankly, I'm uncertain. Normally, this would be placed for speedy under the new vanity rule, but I'm putting it up for VfD because of the titles this person has received, rather than speedy.

Discussion

  • Comment:I find it ludicrous that there are votes to delete this. Everything in this article is 100% factual seeing as I have written all of it and I founded the game. As for it being "non-notable" it is the single most notable Government Simulation game that exists. It was the FIRST comprehensive government simulation, and I pride myself knowing that this game is very much a learning experience as everybody who plays gains significant knowledge about american politics and government. Continuing, "AGS" another government simulator that came after this one, has a page here on wikipedia, and you dont see me voting to delete that, or the biased page on "Government Simulation" written by somebody not affiliated with USG and who conviently, it seems, left USG information off that page except for 1 or 2 lines. I am relatively new to wikipedia, so excuse me that I had the line "advertising" the game. I removed it, so there are no more qualms.
--John Joffey
  • Comment:Clie, Sorry, but AGS, NPS, and PolUS arent "passing USG up" (and by the way, get your facts straight...PolUS MERGED INTO USG!, Thanks for bringing your garbage into the discussion) and USG is certainly not being "outpaced". Thank you for wasting my time. I would really like to know what all these random people have against having this page up? So far, nobody is really giving any good reasons for these votes to Delete. Now, if a Admin from Wikipedia would like to contact me to discuss making this page more suited for Wikipedia, I would have no problem editing to meet these guidelines. However, outright deletion would just uphold the double standard of letting a copycat game, AGS, have its own page on here and USG not. Also, I am not going to vote on my own page, because I dont think deletion is a valid option. If a Wikipedia Admin wants to contact me, my AIM is PillagerConclave

  • Comment:NationStates is a BUSINESS-backed game made by somebody promoting his book and the idea of corporate government. USGovsim is not a business, its is just a free web-based forum game. It is THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game, so the fact that you want to delete our page, but AGS (American Government Sim) a game that has been around alot less longer than USG and more or less a copycat game is allowed to have a page is a double standard. This is a FREE encyclopedia, and this page is 100% Fact. USG was *the* pioneer in Govsim-based gaming, so if there are going to be pages about Govsims on here, then I am going to make sure the facts are known.
--John Joffey
  • Comment:If this site is "THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game", then you should have no problem citing refrences that establish its notability. Unless you can cite a large google result, a media or a news source that has done a report on this game, or some other piece of material by an independent site/organisation/whatever, then there is no reason why this page cannot be mentioned in Government simulation instead. Furthermore, this debate is not about AGS, nor does anyone here care about what % of this article is fact. From what I can see, AGS will probably be VFD'd eventually anyway.

--John Joffey
  • Comment. The question isn't whether the article is factual, but rather whether the game is notable enough for its own article. That a number of passionate fans of the game have come here to "stuff the ballot box" and to counter what they perceive as an attack is all-too-common. There are thousands of games out there, all who would claim to be "unique" in some way, with some passionate fans. Should they all have their own article? Wikipedia is not a webgame directory.

  • Comment: Mr. Joffey, calling people ignorant does not help your cause. All we are asking you to do is to give proof that your site is notable, which you repeatedly avoid doing. It should not be that difficult; after all, this site is "THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game", isn't it? Also, it is irrelevant whether or not Google picks up someone mentioning this site on a message board; that does not mean it is notable. Unless you can find a good number of different people on different boards (preferably ones with a large userbase) that have mentioned this site, then there is no notability here. Groton here also mentions that this site had been on Avidgamers (a statement which I have yet to see any evidence for); and even if it was, then why is it not currently there? And is that the only site that this game was on? Mr. Joffey, please give evidence supporting your claims. Jaxl | talk 14:00, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Prince Nikolai of Denmark

Unencyclopedic. Thin of noteworthiness. Has done nothing prominent, represents nothing important. All details can be put into his father's article. Just the fact that he was born a royal, does not suffice. As this boy is going to have a cousin who is the heir presumptive, thus Nikolai is not presumed to ever succeed to the Danish throne (barring unexpected events). He is the heir of his father, thus deserves article a bit better than his own younger brother, but IMO does not yet deserve it. I have earlier stated some thumb-rule criteria of royal babies having an own article, such as if the baby in question left a country in a succession crisis when dying. This boy could expect an own article when in his teens and gaining individual attention from media. Not yet. Otherwise, all the pertinent details of the child in question fit into articles of parent(s), and an own article is undeserved.

Prince Felix of Denmark

Unencyclopedic. Thin of noteworthiness. Has done nothing prominent, represents nothing important. All details can be put into his father's article. Just the fact that he was born a royal, does not suffice.

  • Keep. I cannot believe this is on VfD. What is that supposed to mean, "Wait until he gets the nomination"? Should we have waited until John Edwards was nominated (or as it turned out, not nominated) to make an article (Yeah, I know this is an amazingly imperfect analogy, but my point is still made at least to that extent). And "Wikipedia will have to list EVERYONE that stands for public office, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, so as to not to have perceptable bias." That is even more ridiculous. For one, United States Senator is not "any public office anywhere in the world." Writing about a candidate for U.S. Senator is not the same about writing about a candidate for Bergen County Freeholder. Please don't make really stupid hyperbolic statements like that one. And because we make one article on bananas doesn't mean that to "be fair" or "not have bias" we have to send osmeone out to make one on every fruit ever at that moment. D. G. 04:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Avoid calling other persons opinions ridiculous, that does not help. To me "Everyone" means "everyone candidating to a similar public office". Is a candidate to be a candidate of the US Senate anyhow more important than a candidate in any national parliament around the world? It doesn't look like so to me. Now, here in Portugal we have 5 major parties, each presenting 230 candidates to the parliament. That's 1150 candidates. If we include minor parties that would easily double, and it would also double if "possible" candidates were included. But let's stick to a nice round 1000 figure. That was Portugal alone. Multiply that for 100 countries with similar institutions and you reach a nice round figure of 100,000 similar candidates around the worls every 4/5 years. Do we want them all? I don't.

The result of the debate was Move to Shia view of the Sahaba and Sunni view of the Sahaba. Redwolf24 ( talk) 01:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Shia ranking of the Sahaba + Sunni ranking of the Sahaba

It should be noted that Sunni ranking of the Sahaba also exists and should be considered in this VfD. I am putting this up for deletion because the unsourced "ranking" seems inherently POV / original research to me. I originally placed {{move|Shia view of the Sahaba}} but Striver shot down that idea so I believe here will be a better place to determine communal view of this. For more reasons see my vote.

  • Move (with change of format and deletion of unsourced) to Shia view of the Sahaba or Shia views of the Sahaba. Because I was unclear: The content will be moved... the main change will be to have this article be descriptive (qualitative) instead of the quantative approach used now which is not found in other sources. gren グレン
I believe that the ranking is impossible to have NPOV. I am aware that there is general Shia feeling towards different individuals but not so we can place different ones in a list of who Shia believe are "strongly positive", "strongly negative", etc. as the page does. we have now, which wouldThe current article is not sourced and I believe this move will first allow a discussion of the views of the Sahaba instead of the list with the rankings which appear to be original research and I am doubting that there is any representative scholarly Shia source with the a ranking system. The viewpoint is fine but I feel this is more or less of a mockery of encyclopedic work. Oh, and for this wanting a more specific policy related reason -- I feel it violates WP:NOT 1.3, 1.7 and to a lesser extent 1.4 gren グレン 19:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
I mean, are you opposing the idea that shias like the Banu Hashim and hate Umar, Muaviya & co, or is your problem that its not all in one single list somewhere? Well, List of cities in Georgia, USA is not sourced, why dont you go and VFD it? I mean, go read any random Shia book and you will se it curse any and everyone on the "strong negative" section and praise any and everyone in the "strong positive" section, as if there was some secret about that... i dont get you. Its common knowledge the stuff added in the list, i mean, its so COMMONLY known that NOBODY has edited or changed the list in ANY way since i created it or added people to it, NOBODY is contesting the ranking. I Mean, are you contesting the ranking? -- Striver 20:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Nonetheless "strong negative" and the strict classification of yours is original research. If you wish to cite what the books say that is another matter. Cities in Georgia is more objective fact than this... a completely different ball game. I am contesting the use of ranking in the first place. Sourced descriptions would be fine, but not a ranking. Which is why I believe it should be moved. I would also prefer you not imply that this has anything to do with it being a Shia article. The common denominator in Shia articles up for deletion seems to be your hand placed on them. My reasoning is this. I don't want anyone coming to wikipedia and being under the impression that Sunnis and Shia have some sort of ranking system for Muhammad's companions. -- the different groups will generally have different views and I acknowledge that, so source it and place it in context. One shia site does not mean that that view is correct. Make notable citations Striver and say whom your citing. That is my problem. I haven't editted it because I thought it was such a mess I didn't know what to do so I avoided it. I can't tell you other users' reasons. gren グレン 20:52, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Needs copyediting, but appears to be a significant topic. No theoretical reason why it can't be neutrally presented. Osomec 00:23, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Comment This entire enterprise is 'seriously' flawed. It would be interesting to discuss the Sahaba in the context of an emerging Shia & Sunni orthodoxy, particularly why different companions came to be viewed as they were (beyond the bullet point summaries here). But a laundry list like this is difficult to accept. It would be like Cathars ranking of early Saints, or Arianist ranking of the Disciples - a meaningless exercise. Would the author be willing to pen a more detailed exposition of the changing view of the Sahaba within an emerging Shia tradition, complete with proper sources and references? That would be a great article. If the article is kept, the existing content needs to be largely replaced. Dottore So 01:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Thats a good point, ill try to add to the article the historical reseason of the split in the view of the Sahaba. However, i feel its going to be hard for me to do that in a NPOV way and i might need some co-editor to help me write in a NPOV way. -- Striver 01:42, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Well, you've come to the right place to find co-editors. In the event that you are able to expand upon the historical context, I would suggest moving the article to a topic heading such as Changing sectarian views of the Sahaba and unite the Sunni and Shia into a merged discussion. Dottore So 01:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Move I agree with Dottore So, the idea can be tweaked to be much more encyclopedic with a further discussion of the views of individual members of the Sahaba, providing reasons for just how these views came to be with sources of course. Gren is right as well: it seems "ranking" screams "POV list" and Shia Views of the Sahaba would be more appropriate. The idea of ranking gives the impression that the concept is black-and-white, when in reality it's not. Sorna Doon 02:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • In light of the discussion above and the general agreement that seems to have emerged, I will vote to Move either per my own or the original suggestion, with the hope that the article will undertake a more systematic examination of how Sunni/Shia views on the Sahaba were formed, and - as importantly - the significance for both communities.

  • Move both. Unless all Shia agree on the ranking of their 100,000 Sahaba and unless all Sunni agree on the ranking of their considerably fewer sahaba, both articles should be renamed, although I would prefer something more like Sahaba in Shia Islam and Sahaba in Sunni Islam. Are there differing views between Alawiya and Zaiddiyah, etc. and/or among the Wahhabis/ Salafis and Sufis? I'm not opposed to lists, or even to rankings, as long as there is agreement outside WP as to the correct rankings. Tomer TALK 21:19, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Move - I have never seen anything to think that there is a universal ranking of the Sahaba. There are different views and it should be moved to say that. rydia 23:44, 21 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Move - there could be a good article in a discussion of how the companions of Muhammad -- the early Muslims -- took sides in various disputes. There's the succession to Muhammad and the first Islamic civil war, the Fitna. Basically, the Shi'a trust (rank high) the companions who took the side of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Therefore, any discussion of factionalism among the companions would necessarily subsume the articles under discussion now. Zora 03:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC) reply

    • Comment. Not all redlinks are notable. Is that a "Keep" vote? -- Alan Au 04:23, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • No, that wasn't a vote, it was more a " don't bite the newbies" thing. However, since Music of Kansas cites a source for his original band's notability (Blush, Steven. American Hardcore: A Tribal History. 2001. Feral House. ISBN 0-922915-717-7), I will in fact vote Keep. Kappa 04:49, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
        • Hey, I'm a practically a newbie myself and I'm not biting anyone - I left him a message on The Slabs discussion page with some links and put a welcome note on his IP User Page. Having said that, I'm not convinced any encylopedia needs an article on an 'urban rap electronic trance' outfit once started by a minor musician in the Kansas 80's Punk scene, but still happily remove the Speedy part of my original vote. PubLife 09:18, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • Comment. Prehaps actually READING the guidelines is a good thing... had I done that previous to putting in this entry, I would not have posted it. I don't think that the reference to The Slabs could be stated as a reference to an 'extremely notable' source, minor scene as you stated... so I would conceed the point. However as the page notes say not to remove it myself, I will let the process take its own course. Thousand pardons begged... lesterUbe

If he's a prominent representative of the " nerdcore" music style (yes, it does exist) then I'd say he meets WP:MUSIC #6. Also, the performance alongside major rap artists and the writing credit, if true, would further show some notability. android 79 01:21, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep As much as this looks like vanity, the name has 25,700 google hits, the top set of which at least superficially support the story. If that's not a keep, I don't know what is.

  • Keep If you doubt the claims about YTCracker you better ps ax about him.
  • Keep I have spent 2 weeks cross referencing everything that is on wikipedia about Ytcracker and with articles across the net. This is definetly legitimate.
  • Keep budz says YT is the OG DG, ya better ask somebody.
  • Keep I've known Bryce Case Jr. (A.K.A. YTCracker) for about 5 years now. I can honestly say a large majority of this information is factual and true. YTCracker is the pioneer of Nerdcore rap, i remeber hearing one of his first AOL rap songs about 4 years ago, whoever came after him is just jumping on the nerdcore groupie train. I agree with A J Luxton's post above 20,000 + hits on google for "ytcracker" says it all. I don't know how much more proof you guys need. - Joe, New York, NY(jpm@jpmventuregroup.com)
  • Weak keep and cleanup per the first three votes, and despite the anonymous votes following it. Remove the download external link; self-promotion. Barno 14:31, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • I suppose I really cannot vote on my own behalf, nor did I write this article, however whatever "proof" that you would require for legitimization of the facts in this article can easily be provided. YTCracker
    • Certainly you can vote; but the admin closing this VfD is likely to give less weight to your vote since you're the topic. I would recommend that, while the VfD is in progress, you add links to the article's talk page which verify the activities, such as mainstream media coverage. Other editors can review them and add material they find appropriate. Anonymous "he is the OG DG, ya better ask somebody" votes are far less likely to persuade other editors. Barno 18:51, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Nymphet

There is no salvagable content on this page that is not already elsewhere. The intro paragraph is "A nymphet is an adolescent young girl", and list of actors in this category is POV. Delete. brenneman (t) (c) 07:48, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Delete : I do not see the point of this article. Is it about "numphets" ? In that case they do not even define what it is properly. This "definition" is followed by rambling and beating about the bush about borderline paedophilia. Manik Raina 08:50, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep and cleanup Perhaps we could change some of the aspects of the article, but we definately should not delete it, and the description of ephebophilia is clearly different and Nymphet is not cobered by that term. -- (Dave)

Please note that I do not nominate these articles together due to a previous trainwreck. It would be appreciated that you do NOT merge these Articles for deletions together, as the previous decision was to decide on the values of each article separately.

Archive 1

As there is a huge majority of articles that need to go through an AfD (literally over 100), the reasons listed may not be as relevant to this article as it would be another. Either way, they all appear to have the same problems and still must be noted to make a decision.

This character article appears to comprised of unsourced, unnotable, fancruft.

This article has little to no third-party sources, with usually the only source being on another wiki, a gaming site, or the Blizzard website.

This article is also not notable to non- Warcraft players, as chances are, a complete stranger to the series would not read this article at all, failing real-world notability.

Finally, this article is most likely fancruft, possibly created through original research. These are mostly unwelcome, continuing on the basis that non-players would have no interest in it.

This article is nominated individually to prevent another trainwreck from occurring while also allowing editors to individually decide which article should stay and which should go. The above reasons are as to why each of these articles should be deleted, whether they are completely relevant or hardly relevant. IAmSasori 21:58, 1 November 2007 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. It's a real Digimon, made official through the FAX Digimon contest in Japan. Several notable Digimon (like Cyber Dramon) have been such Digimon. There's no information on Babydramon other than his name, but if we're going to have Digimon entries, why not have all Digimon entries, even if they have to all be merged into List_of_Digimon? It feels incomplete and inconsistent to have only Digimon that are (somewhat arbitrarily) deemed notable. Every Pokémon has its own individual entry, however non-notable, and every, or nearly every Naruto character has at least a short biography on the Characters_of_Naruto page. If every ninja and Pokémon can have an entry or a section on a page, why can't every Digimon? Shining Celebi 00:49, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. I agree with Shining Celebi. -- Toksyuryel talk | contrib 01:35, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. 1. Babydramon is an official Digimon as cited by Shining_Celebi. 2. Whether or not this is fancruft is highly dependant on whether one is a fan of the series and as such by putting this entry on vote, you place all individual character entries of not just television series but movies as well on trial. Whatever should happen to this entry should be applied to other individual character pages as well. 3. Whether or not this entry is fancruft is irrevelant as the purpose of Wikipedia is to be and I quote: The Free Encyclopedia and as such should be an Encyclopedia as defined by http://www.dictionary.com , "A comprehensive reference work containing articles on a wide range of subjects or on numerous aspects of a particular field, usually arranged alphabetically.". The keyword is comprehensive and this entry indeed fulfills the job of an encyclopedia entry by contributing comprehensive information on the subject (Babydramon) and its parent (Digimon). 4. This article does not merit deletion according to the Wikipedia Vote For Deletion policy page. This is not a hoax, and if deemed to be so minor as to not merit its own entry, then should be merged with an appropriate entry. Takato 01:47:34, 2005-08-18 (UTC)
  • Merge or Expand. If it's real, adding the history Shining Celebi mentioned to the article would be useful (rather than just "he's rumored to exist since he was mentioned in passing in one episode"). - Matthew0028 04:35, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Delete or Needs Improvement. I've done a lot of work creating articles for "rumored" characters, and to make such an article work, it needs to be longer than a few sentences and backed by reasons why this character was rumored to appear while never actually appearing. For example, my articles on rumored Mortal Kombat characters Nimbus Terrafaux and Belokk contain real facts and reasons, rather than speculation. I'm not a fan of Digimon, yet I'm not going to say anything about fancruft. I just don't think the article itself is encyclopedically noteworthy unless it is expanded, merged, and/or improved.

Jiangjun

This article was just VfD:ed under the title chiangchun and voted to be moved to this page, though without voters actually paying any attention what the VfD was actually about, which is why I'm resubmitting this again in the hope that people will try to focus on the relevant this time. The previous state of the article made a bogus claim of the word having a meaning separate from the Western concept of general and that there existed a specific knight-like warrior caste in ancient China akin to the Western knights or perhaps samurai, all of it utterly unverifiable. In the previous VfD, there were some very questionable claims that since this word can be used to designate one of the pieces in Xiangqi, Chinese chess, and since it can be used in Chinese similar to a verb meaning "checkmate", it would be enough to grant it a separate article. Verb usage or not, this is a pure dictionary definition and should be deleted. Peter Isotalo 13:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Transwiki. While the Xiangqi reference moves this beyond pure dicdef, that reference is sufficiently covered by the Xiangqi article itself; no more than a redirect is needed for this part. Scrap that part of the stub and you've got the dicdef. Lomn | Talk 14:50:02, 2005-08-17 (UTC)

True metal

Since I added the stub notice in February, this page wasn't significantly expanded. In a Google search for "True metal" all the pages were either about music or clones of this page. I can therefore reasonably assume that someone made up the term true metal without a serious reason. If we can't make head nor tail of this page, it'd better be deleted (and True metal (music) could then be moved here). Army1987 15:37, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I don't see why you couldn't just blank the page, copy the contents of True metal (music) to it, and turn the (music) page into a redirect. Nothing needs to be deleted, although it would make for a messy edit history. Which I suppose you might want to avoid. -- Icelight 18:20, August 17, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: I think you'll find that "true metals" gives more pertinent results (1850 hits, of which only a handful seem to be Wikipedia-related). However, it seems that "true metals" are simply true metals, i.e. not metalloids. If that's correct, then a) the list on this page is ridiculous, and b) this article is redundant with Metal. -- Visviva 00:16, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Why not make tons of pages about "true foo" and "true bar" which redirect to "foo" and "bar" because the phrase "true foo" is often used to contrast with pseudo-foo? That's nothing more than the dictionary meaning of the word true. Delete and bring True metal (music) here, adding a dablink template notice about metals (I'm going to add one myself).-- Army1987 23:00, 22 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I'm not at war with geogre. At most I'm in dispute with him. His actions in the dispute are to delete, concealing a blatantly non-speediable article from editors who are not also sysops; my actions in the dispute are to restore, making the article visible, and give the editors a chance to decide. This isn't war, it isn't even a police action, it's just a man with an ego being silly enough to think he can push it so far as to repeatedly delete content from Wikipedia without any scrutiny and get away with it. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 22:00, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

        • If you believe I have broken WP:3RR, please take steps to have me blocked for doing so.

          • I don't want you punished. I just want you to edit like a normal user. You "undeleted without scrutiny" when all you had to do was create a better article. You resorted to VfD after you realized the revert/delete war wasn't working. Why list an article that now only has what you created on VfD? To make a point. Of course a new article with real content would be kept. You nominated your own content that you wanted kept for deletion. Why? WP:POINT? - Tεx τ urε 22:29, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
          • I think you are pushing it a bit. I undeleted only as a result of a bad speedy. I have no problem referring such restorations to VfD and indeed see no reason to do so unless there is a serious dispute--administrators on Wikipedia perform hundreds of speedies every day, performing a great job with no immediate supervision, and make one or two mistakes, and I don't see any problem with other sysops like me exercising the same scrutiny on their speedies and fixing the very few mistakes they make. If you ever have a problem with any of my resurrections, it's a doddle to spot it in my deletion log and list it on VfD. There is absolutely no reason to introduce onerous procedural obligations. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 23:33, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep, bad speedy. Kappa 23:12, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. The first speedy by Geogre was perfectly valid, there was no claim to notability: Warren Benbow- drummer, songwriter, music producer and educator; b. New York, NY . Born December 22, 1954. However, Tony Sidaway created a new entirely different version which was encyclopedic [11] and Geogre's second, third and fourth speedies of this new version were entirely unjustified.

    A clueless newbie or vandal cannot "poison" a topic by creating an unworthy article that meets the speedy criteria. A speedy delete merely says the current version fails the very low threshold for retention and wipes the slate clean. It's simply a botched article; no judgement is made on whether the topic itself is unencyclopedic or non-notable (only a VfD does that). No vote for undeletion is needed to create a new article — the slate was wiped clean and it's as if the speedied article never existed. Nevertheless, a bad faith attempt to WP:POINT by recreating the speedied article with only cosmetic changes (such as merely adding the adjective "notable") would be very dimly viewed. However, that's certainly not the case here.

    Tony Sidaway should have recognized that the first speedy deletion was perfectly valid, and probably should have just created his new article without restoring the old speediable stub. By restoring it, he (wrongly) implicitly criticized Geogre's action in speedying it, and Geogre perhaps reacted with indignation. However, Geogre should have realized that the new article rewritten from scratch was in no way a speedy candidate. -- Curps 03:12, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • If someone is described as a "drummer, songwriter, music producer and educator" this appears to me to be quite a strong assertion of notability. I accept that geogre may not see it that way (this could be seen in my original note telling him I'd undeleted). This ambiguity in CSD7 is systemic so each administrator must use his own judgement. There is no absolute here; to me it's obviously an assertion of considerable notability, to you it isn't. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 08:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • This is not at all an assertion of notability. There are many, many people who could fit that description (such as, a high school teacher who plays in a band on weekends). Wikipedia:Deletion of vanity articles suggests: For instance, if the person's profession is cited, a reasonable guideline would be how many people have the same profession: there are tens of thousands of porn models, but very few senators. Even if you dislike the relatively recent "no assertion of notability" criterion for speedy deletion, it's not a solution to simply declare nearly anything to be "asserted notable". -- Curps 08:37, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
        • I think it's pushing it a bit to say that this description could be applied to a high school teacher. Most people would expect "music producer" to mean "a person who produces recorded music" and in fact this is precisely the case here. VfD is *good* at discerning when an assertion of notability is bogus (as with your hypothetical high school teacher). Individuals on RC patrol, historically, are not so good. It is therefore inappropriate to speedy. I objected to CSD 7 for one main reason: it relies on a vague phrase, "assertion of notability" that means different things to different people. And here we have a classic case. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 13:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • It is categorically false to state that the article was rewritten from scratch. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 08:11, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
      • Well here's the confusion: the anon author first created a non-speediable version (but badly formatted and indented, so that an entire paragraph was contained on one line, with most of the content invisible unless you scrolled horizontally way beyond the right edge of the browser window ("first version"). A few minutes later, the anon himself then truncated that first paragraph to one short sentence ("second version"). That second version was correctly tagged for speedy deletion and correctly speedied. I suppose it was that "first version" that you found and rescued. That "first version" was not speediable (though TenOfAllTrades reports it was a copyvio), but personally I never would never even have looked at it... when there are multiple editors, you check the history, but when there's just one editor you just look at their final revision. -- Curps 08:26, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
        • Thanks for pointing that out, but actually because of the bad formatting I would not have seen the extra text in the original even if I had looked at it (it scrolls off the right hand side of the screen). To me that looks like a copyvio of an entry I've seen elsewhere, probably allaboutjazz.com. So to reduce the confusion I want to make it absolutely plain: I considered the second, truncated version to be a good stub. It correctly identified the subject and told me absolutely everything I needed to know in order to expand the article. The problem of these bogus speedies would not exist if those doing RC patrol would use google before speedying. We are, after all, here to edit an encyclopedia, not just play with the delete button. -- Tony Sidaway Talk 13:47, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Mortal kombat spinn and Spinn (mortal kombat character)

According to the edit history on Black Dragon (Mortal Kombat), the organization to which the character supposedly belongs, the same user who created these two pages added him onto this page (IP address 67.136.142.x), and it sounds as if this character comes from the comic book but does not appear in any actual games. Not having played Mortal Kombat myself, I wouldn't know, but I can't find him in any Mortal Kombat official sites, either.

Second, while this has been a wiki-internal dispute, the topic has frequently been brought up in non-wiki discussions both online and offline. This can be easily demonstrated by the sheer number of texts written on this question by experts (e.g. Edward Gobetz, Professor Emeritus of Sociology, Kent State University and founding director of Slovenian Research Center of America and others) and at the same time this also demonstrates that the topic can be covered in two sentences no more easily than any other.

Suspect vanity. User made two contributions on 3 August and hasn't been back. Article claims person has won several international titles. I can not find evidence of any international titles. I have found evidence of at least one age-under-16 Australian state title, and possibly a similar national title (hard to decipher). Does this make this person of interest sufficient for an encyclopedia entry? Frankly, I'm uncertain. Normally, this would be placed for speedy under the new vanity rule, but I'm putting it up for VfD because of the titles this person has received, rather than speedy.

Discussion

  • Comment:I find it ludicrous that there are votes to delete this. Everything in this article is 100% factual seeing as I have written all of it and I founded the game. As for it being "non-notable" it is the single most notable Government Simulation game that exists. It was the FIRST comprehensive government simulation, and I pride myself knowing that this game is very much a learning experience as everybody who plays gains significant knowledge about american politics and government. Continuing, "AGS" another government simulator that came after this one, has a page here on wikipedia, and you dont see me voting to delete that, or the biased page on "Government Simulation" written by somebody not affiliated with USG and who conviently, it seems, left USG information off that page except for 1 or 2 lines. I am relatively new to wikipedia, so excuse me that I had the line "advertising" the game. I removed it, so there are no more qualms.
--John Joffey
  • Comment:Clie, Sorry, but AGS, NPS, and PolUS arent "passing USG up" (and by the way, get your facts straight...PolUS MERGED INTO USG!, Thanks for bringing your garbage into the discussion) and USG is certainly not being "outpaced". Thank you for wasting my time. I would really like to know what all these random people have against having this page up? So far, nobody is really giving any good reasons for these votes to Delete. Now, if a Admin from Wikipedia would like to contact me to discuss making this page more suited for Wikipedia, I would have no problem editing to meet these guidelines. However, outright deletion would just uphold the double standard of letting a copycat game, AGS, have its own page on here and USG not. Also, I am not going to vote on my own page, because I dont think deletion is a valid option. If a Wikipedia Admin wants to contact me, my AIM is PillagerConclave

  • Comment:NationStates is a BUSINESS-backed game made by somebody promoting his book and the idea of corporate government. USGovsim is not a business, its is just a free web-based forum game. It is THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game, so the fact that you want to delete our page, but AGS (American Government Sim) a game that has been around alot less longer than USG and more or less a copycat game is allowed to have a page is a double standard. This is a FREE encyclopedia, and this page is 100% Fact. USG was *the* pioneer in Govsim-based gaming, so if there are going to be pages about Govsims on here, then I am going to make sure the facts are known.
--John Joffey
  • Comment:If this site is "THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game", then you should have no problem citing refrences that establish its notability. Unless you can cite a large google result, a media or a news source that has done a report on this game, or some other piece of material by an independent site/organisation/whatever, then there is no reason why this page cannot be mentioned in Government simulation instead. Furthermore, this debate is not about AGS, nor does anyone here care about what % of this article is fact. From what I can see, AGS will probably be VFD'd eventually anyway. Jaxl | talk 23:14, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: Additionally, the web site was recently moved to a new URL, so references on Google is less than important. As a forum, I wouldn't expect that spider would follow it. This is a notable site, as far as I can tell. Brian Sayrs 21:43, 2005 August 17 (UTC)

  • Comment:Cane we just end this nonsense now and let us keep our page? I mean seriously, the only "delete" votes are coming from people totally clueless about the gaming world of govsims. The fact that they are passing judgment on us in such an ingnorant manner is really out of line. I implore Wikipedia Admins to remove the "deletion discussion" as soon as possible.
--John Joffey
  • Comment. The question isn't whether the article is factual, but rather whether the game is notable enough for its own article. That a number of passionate fans of the game have come here to "stuff the ballot box" and to counter what they perceive as an attack is all-too-common. There are thousands of games out there, all who would claim to be "unique" in some way, with some passionate fans. Should they all have their own article? Wikipedia is not a webgame directory. This article is not encyclopedic. -- Al 13:38, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • I would also suggest that those users who have signed up primarily for purposes of participating in this VfD actually look around and get a better feel for what Wikipedia is all about. -- Al
  • Comment. I have rewritten to remove a lot of the advertisingness that drew initial complaint. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lomn ( talk • contribs) 09:47, 18 August 2005
  • Comment: Mr. Joffey, calling people ignorant does not help your cause. All we are asking you to do is to give proof that your site is notable, which you repeatedly avoid doing. It should not be that difficult; after all, this site is "THE MOST notable of any Government Simulator game", isn't it? Also, it is irrelevant whether or not Google picks up someone mentioning this site on a message board; that does not mean it is notable. Unless you can find a good number of different people on different boards (preferably ones with a large userbase) that have mentioned this site, then there is no notability here. Groton here also mentions that this site had been on Avidgamers (a statement which I have yet to see any evidence for); and even if it was, then why is it not currently there? And is that the only site that this game was on? Mr. Joffey, please give evidence supporting your claims. Jaxl | talk 14:00, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Comment:Not a single one of you can tell me why USG cannot have its own Wikipedia page, yet AGS and the other Govsims/Internationalsims already have their own pages? DOUBLE STANDARD. You let them keep theirs, let us keep ours. We are the most notable one. Sorry that there is no "Govsim Notability Tracker." I honestly cant beliueve you people have nothing better to do than bash wikipedia pages you know NOTHING about.

  • Comment:Jaxl....247 members and 40,000 posts...IN JUST 2 MONTHS. That's right...2 months. But hey, you're so (personal attack removed) BIASED that you won't recognize that. Also, we're not on Avidgamers anymore because it got too slow and we decided to BUY our own site and forums. That's right...we BOUGHT the site instead of using a free one. That's why it's no longer on Avidgamers...but (personal attack removed) you can't realize that.
  • Comment: Biased towards what? Towards just wanting some facts? Forgive me for wanting to know more about this site. That information you provided would have been just fine, had you not added "...but (personal attack removed) you can't realize that." You should also note that 247 members isn't a lot, "But hey, you're so (personal attack removed) BIASED that you won't recognize that." Furthermore, nobody cares that you had to dish out a whole $125 to buy a "damn server"; no one here told you to do that. And you should note that I changed my vote from delete to merge. I do not want this to be deleted. If you have some free time (which it seems you do, since you have nothing better to do than to insult people who don't even want this deleted), then please read Wikipedia:No personal attacks and Wikipedia:Civility.

Prince Nikolai of Denmark

Unencyclopedic. Thin of noteworthiness. Has done nothing prominent, represents nothing important. All details can be put into his father's article. Just the fact that he was born a royal, does not suffice. As this boy is going to have a cousin who is the heir presumptive, thus Nikolai is not presumed to ever succeed to the Danish throne (barring unexpected events). He is the heir of his father, thus deserves article a bit better than his own younger brother, but IMO does not yet deserve it. I have earlier stated some thumb-rule criteria of royal babies having an own article, such as if the baby in question left a country in a succession crisis when dying. This boy could expect an own article when in his teens and gaining individual attention from media. Not yet. Otherwise, all the pertinent details of the child in question fit into articles of parent(s), and an own article is undeserved. For encyclopedia, it is fragmenting to make these separate articles. 217.140.193.123 09:09, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. I cannot believe this is on VfD. What is that supposed to mean, "Wait until he gets the nomination"? Should we have waited until John Edwards was nominated (or as it turned out, not nominated) to make an article (Yeah, I know this is an amazingly imperfect analogy, but my point is still made at least to that extent). And "Wikipedia will have to list EVERYONE that stands for public office, ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD, so as to not to have perceptable bias." That is even more ridiculous. For one, United States Senator is not "any public office anywhere in the world." Writing about a candidate for U.S. Senator is not the same about writing about a candidate for Bergen County Freeholder. Please don't make really stupid hyperbolic statements like that one. And because we make one article on bananas doesn't mean that to "be fair" or "not have bias" we have to send osmeone out to make one on every fruit ever at that moment. D. G. 04:38, 19 August 2005 (UTC) reply
    • Comment Avoid calling other persons opinions ridiculous, that does not help. To me "Everyone" means "everyone candidating to a similar public office". Is a candidate to be a candidate of the US Senate anyhow more important than a candidate in any national parliament around the world? It doesn't look like so to me. Now, here in Portugal we have 5 major parties, each presenting 230 candidates to the parliament. That's 1150 candidates. If we include minor parties that would easily double, and it would also double if "possible" candidates were included. But let's stick to a nice round 1000 figure. That was Portugal alone. Multiply that for 100 countries with similar institutions and you reach a nice round figure of 100,000 similar candidates around the worls every 4/5 years. Do we want them all? I don't.

The result of the debate was Move to Shia view of the Sahaba and Sunni view of the Sahaba. Redwolf24 ( talk) 01:43, 27 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Shia ranking of the Sahaba + Sunni ranking of the Sahaba

It should be noted that Sunni ranking of the Sahaba also exists and should be considered in this VfD. I am putting this up for deletion because the unsourced "ranking" seems inherently POV / original research to me. I originally placed {{move|Shia view of the Sahaba}} but Striver shot down that idea so I believe here will be a better place to determine communal view of this. For more reasons see my vote.

  • Move (with change of format and deletion of unsourced) to Shia view of the Sahaba or Shia views of the Sahaba. Because I was unclear: The content will be moved... the main change will be to have this article be descriptive (qualitative) instead of the quantative approach used now which is not found in other sources. gren グレン
I believe that the ranking is impossible to have NPOV. I am aware that there is general Shia feeling towards different individuals but not so we can place different ones in a list of who Shia believe are "strongly positive", "strongly negative", etc. as the page does. we have now, which wouldThe current article is not sourced and I believe this move will first allow a discussion of the views of the Sahaba instead of the list with the rankings which appear to be original research and I am doubting that there is any representative scholarly Shia source with the a ranking system. The viewpoint is fine but I feel this is more or less of a mockery of encyclopedic work. Oh, and for this wanting a more specific policy related reason -- I feel it violates WP:NOT 1.3, 1.7 and to a lesser extent 1.4 gren グレン 19:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
I mean, are you opposing the idea that shias like the Banu Hashim and hate Umar, Muaviya & co, or is your problem that its not all in one single list somewhere? Well, List of cities in Georgia, USA is not sourced, why dont you go and VFD it? I mean, go read any random Shia book and you will se it curse any and everyone on the "strong negative" section and praise any and everyone in the "strong positive" section, as if there was some secret about that... i dont get you. Its common knowledge the stuff added in the list, i mean, its so COMMONLY known that NOBODY has edited or changed the list in ANY way since i created it or added people to it, NOBODY is contesting the ranking. I Mean, are you contesting the ranking? -- Striver 20:42, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Nonetheless "strong negative" and the strict classification of yours is original research. If you wish to cite what the books say that is another matter. Cities in Georgia is more objective fact than this... a completely different ball game. I am contesting the use of ranking in the first place. Sourced descriptions would be fine, but not a ranking. Which is why I believe it should be moved. I would also prefer you not imply that this has anything to do with it being a Shia article. The common denominator in Shia articles up for deletion seems to be your hand placed on them. My reasoning is this. I don't want anyone coming to wikipedia and being under the impression that Sunnis and Shia have some sort of ranking system for Muhammad's companions. -- the different groups will generally have different views and I acknowledge that, so source it and place it in context. One shia site does not mean that that view is correct. Make notable citations Striver and say whom your citing. That is my problem. I haven't editted it because I thought it was such a mess I didn't know what to do so I avoided it. I can't tell you other users' reasons. gren グレン 20:52, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Needs copyediting, but appears to be a significant topic. No theoretical reason why it can't be neutrally presented. Osomec 00:23, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Comment This entire enterprise is 'seriously' flawed. It would be interesting to discuss the Sahaba in the context of an emerging Shia & Sunni orthodoxy, particularly why different companions came to be viewed as they were (beyond the bullet point summaries here). But a laundry list like this is difficult to accept. It would be like Cathars ranking of early Saints, or Arianist ranking of the Disciples - a meaningless exercise. Would the author be willing to pen a more detailed exposition of the changing view of the Sahaba within an emerging Shia tradition, complete with proper sources and references? That would be a great article. If the article is kept, the existing content needs to be largely replaced. Dottore So 01:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Thats a good point, ill try to add to the article the historical reseason of the split in the view of the Sahaba. However, i feel its going to be hard for me to do that in a NPOV way and i might need some co-editor to help me write in a NPOV way. -- Striver 01:42, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
Well, you've come to the right place to find co-editors. In the event that you are able to expand upon the historical context, I would suggest moving the article to a topic heading such as Changing sectarian views of the Sahaba and unite the Sunni and Shia into a merged discussion. Dottore So 01:53, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Move I agree with Dottore So, the idea can be tweaked to be much more encyclopedic with a further discussion of the views of individual members of the Sahaba, providing reasons for just how these views came to be with sources of course. Gren is right as well: it seems "ranking" screams "POV list" and Shia Views of the Sahaba would be more appropriate. The idea of ranking gives the impression that the concept is black-and-white, when in reality it's not. Sorna Doon 02:45, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • In light of the discussion above and the general agreement that seems to have emerged, I will vote to Move either per my own or the original suggestion, with the hope that the article will undertake a more systematic examination of how Sunni/Shia views on the Sahaba were formed, and - as importantly - the significance for both communities.

  • Move both. Unless all Shia agree on the ranking of their 100,000 Sahaba and unless all Sunni agree on the ranking of their considerably fewer sahaba, both articles should be renamed, although I would prefer something more like Sahaba in Shia Islam and Sahaba in Sunni Islam. Are there differing views between Alawiya and Zaiddiyah, etc. and/or among the Wahhabis/ Salafis and Sufis? I'm not opposed to lists, or even to rankings, as long as there is agreement outside WP as to the correct rankings. Tomer TALK 21:19, August 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Move - I have never seen anything to think that there is a universal ranking of the Sahaba. There are different views and it should be moved to say that. rydia 23:44, 21 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Move - there could be a good article in a discussion of how the companions of Muhammad -- the early Muslims -- took sides in various disputes. There's the succession to Muhammad and the first Islamic civil war, the Fitna. Basically, the Shi'a trust (rank high) the companions who took the side of Ali ibn Abi Talib. Therefore, any discussion of factionalism among the companions would necessarily subsume the articles under discussion now. Zora 03:19, 26 August 2005 (UTC) reply

Of course its going to be hard to search for a band named after the commodore 64. But cause of their early work in this genre and pioneered the term geeksta rap I say keep. Wayback machine on their website reveals more details too. --Anonymous Coward 08:38, 18 August 2005 (GMT) From 80.229.234.135
  • Keep A vote for Nerdcore is a vote for love - besides, if they are truly one-time pioneers of the genre I get down in, they deserve respect. It isn't like we get too much press coverage anyway, and at least they have in some form or another. (minor edit - if they can prove the 130,000 figure I shall change my vote to strong keep) -- Ytcracker 22:12, 21 August 2005 (UTC) User's only 10th contribution to Wikipedia. reply
  • Keep. Obscure band in obscure genre... but that's the sort of thing that makes Wikipedia so neat! *Dan* 22:37, August 21, 2005 (UTC)

Graduation (album)

Article for planned third album by Kanye West. Meanwhile, his second hasn't even been released yet, and it's stands to reason that not a single note has been recorded for this album, or the planned follow up Good Ass Job ( see that VfD discussion below) Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.

  • Delete. Without documentation from a reliable source they've started, not a crystal ball. Wikibofh 00:13, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It has become his trademark lately: knowing the titles of his future albums. If the seventh Harry Potter book gets its own article, Graduations deserves its own as well. Acetic Acid 07:17, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • In all honesty, the seventh Harry Potter book shouldn't have its own article until about a few months before its release (they're up to only seven now? I don't follow them; thought there were more). -- FuriousFreddy 11:09, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I just posted links to recent news articles from MTV that support the information on the main page. Kanye West himself revealed the titles for his next two albums at a press listening session. He also told those in attendence a tentative release date of October 2006 for his next album. 8:32, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep There is a set release date for the album and the title is final, therefore this article should be kept as it does not break any Wikipedia rules. -- Scottf9 13:14, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep Only if there is some possible information necessary to report The Graduation as an official title. LILVOKA 13:33, 25 August 2005 (UTC) reply

I don't know what this is. But it's not an encyclopedia article. Ben-w 23:58, 17 August 2005 (UTC) reply

  • Keep. While there are only 176 Google hits on this alchemist from the 1920s and 1930s, they are from a wide variety of sources and there appears to be a fair degree of notability (keep in mind that his 15 minutes of fame ended way before the Internet was around). However, the article is very POV given that many of the sources claim that he was a con artist. The article needs work. -- DS1953 00:09, August 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep but cleanup. The article does contain some real information, though presented in a highly POV fashion. Also agree with DS1953's arguments. ManoaChild 00:15, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • Keep I've started the cleanup process. It isn't that bad really - it won't take much for someone with a knowledge of the subject to turn it into a good article. Osomec 00:28, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
  • keep. Another example of something that may not get many google hits, but that doesn't mean it should be deleted. Trollderella 00:33, 18 August 2005 (UTC) reply
