Popcorn bag

I Prodded; removed by author. Rationale was: "not-notable definition." If you were to make an ordered list of words or phrases that don't require an article, I think this one would place rather high-- Fuhghettaboutit 00:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Ouch. Am I supposed to take that personally? heh youngamerican ( talk) 01:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Comment. The technology of microwave popcorn bags may be fodder for an article (though in its present incarnation I think it should be merged with popcorn). However, there is nothing notable about popcorn bags of the everyday variety. The entire focus should thus be on the history and technology involved with that topic; the article should not masquerade as a general article on popcorn bags and should be renamed "Microwave popcorn bag technology" or something similar. Think about it this way, would there be any reason to keep if the article was lolipop wrapper? Generic popcorn bags are still the analogue of lolipop wrapper. -- Fuhghettaboutit 04:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Night Warrior

A webcomic, found here. The site hosting it has no Alexa rank, there doesn't seem to be any sign of notability for it. What makes this website more distinct and notable about all the others? Not much by the looks of it. - Hahnchen 00:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Night Warrior is the U.K.'s leading independant comic book. It's a unique collaboration of over a hundered artists and writers from all over the world. That in itself makes it stand out above all the others and makes it a worthy inclusion to wikipedia.

It's had some big press attention already for example it's one of the few independant webcomics to feature on Comic-Con. At it's peak it gets over a thousand unique hits per day and later in the year it's going to print.

It would seem odd to have a list of British comics or Webcomics and not have Night Warrior on there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.40.49.56 ( talk • contribs) 10:11, 2006 March 24

Bunch of writers

PROD tag removed. Article about a website that does not seem to meet WP:WEB or be otherwise verifiable. W.marsh 00:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

The article looks very likely to be deleted simply because the forum isn't notable enough to merit an entry. With 122 members as of this writing, it looks unlikely that anyone who isn't directly involved in the forum would ever visit, or edit, the Wikipedia page. That means that the page would end up being forever POV and unencyclopedic (which, I submit, it is) and would be unlikely to ever meet Wikipedia's standards of quality. Get yourself a few thousand more users and a few mentions in major national or international publications and your forum may then become notable. Incidentally, I myself made the same mistake last year: I submitted a web forum I belong to with 298 users. The article was deleted. -- Hyperbole 23:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Yosh!

Hosted on Comic Genesis, a free webcomics host is Yosh. You can have a look at it's sub 70 member forum here too. A google search for "yosh webcomic" (without quotes) generates less than 150 hits, and from what I see, none of them are respectable webcomic review or commentary sites. Hosted on the comicgen.com domain, it manages to capture 2% of traffic to a domain ranked at roughly 20,000. This is not a notable website. - Hahnchen 00:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

The subject is a non-notable author who wrote for the newspaper of New York University. While the NYU paper is well-regarded and surely more prominent than most college newspapers, the subject of this article doesn't seem to warrant a page; in any case, the entry as currently is exists is unsourced and poorly formatted and contains sundry POV comments.

Film Tycoon

This is a multiple nomination, here are the other articles nominated:

I first encountered this set of articles after seeing Cosmic Universe get unprodded. Although these articles appear in Template:Tycoon Computer Games, they are not Tycoon Computer games. These are not published software titles, instead, they are role playing gaming websites. I do not think that these forum games are notable. These articles are about the many iterations of a single game, the current iteration is The Other Film Tycoon. This game has 58 members in it's forum, and 32 players on their leaderboard. These are not popular games, at very very best they should be merged together, but I feel they should be deleted. - Hahnchen 01:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Article was contested as a CSD A7 candidate, but this article on a tribute band to the Ramones doesn't seem to show notability.

This was tagged for speedy deletion on the grounds that it was a resume. Most short articles end up being a mere list of accomplishments, however, and it isn't like this is a text dump of a c.v., so I'm listing here for a notability consideration. Some of the magazines and calendars listed are notable media or commercial products, but no evidence that she herself has been singled out for recognition from those sources. No vote.

  • Keep. I'm the creator of the page (so I guess my vote doesn't count), and no offense taken if it's deleted. But if it makes a difference, this is not just a resume dump, and I have no affiliation with the subject at all other than being a fan who found her work on the Internet. Minimal Google hits at present (as an above commenter mentioned), but she's only been modeling for about a year and she's already made MAXIM Belgium and the Lingerie Bowl. In addition, I didn't list her upcoming features, but she will be in the Playboy Lingerie Catalogue as well as several 2007 calendars. I didn't list her TV stuff (yet), but she's also been on CSI, The Office, an Icehouse Beer commercial, ESPN2's Cold Pizza, MTV's TRL, and other stuff I'm not familiar with. I predict that the Google count will surpass 1,000 within 60 days (the MAXIM feature is just hitting stands now) and will rise from there. If it'd be better to wait and create a Wikipedia article after that happens . . . like I said, no offense taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.140.121 ( talk • contribs)
    • It's note really a "vote" it just looks like it is, and while it's good form to declare your authorship, it in no way invalidates your contribution to the discussions. These are (mostly) divided into two sections: gathering of facts and chat about how those facts mesh with guidelines, policies, and tribal knowledge.

      • I'm always skeptical about the touring criteria. So they rented a bus and drove from Montreal to Portland, ME and then to Toronto - that hardly qualifies as a national tour IMHO, let alone an international tour. Any band that lives in Plattsburgh, NY and gets a gig at a bar in Montreal a half-hour away can be said to have been on international tour?! But I'm listening... I'm not completely inflexible on this questionable criteria. To me, the almost-total lack of recorded music speaks much more loudly though. That puts them on the same level as a couple of my cousins. — Wknight94 ( talk) 16:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
        • Actually, I'd be in favor of relaxing the touring requirement to regions as opposed to nations, but yes, that's international - they went on a tour and went to multiple nations. It's also not out of the question for tours to be able to help build up the credibility to have the ability to record. Regardless, whatever they've recorded has ended up on MuchMusic, so they're probably at a higher level than your cousins. -- badlydrawnjeff ( WP:MEME?) 16:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • When they are on Allmusic, have topped the Indie charts or made a respectable showing in the national mainstream charts, got a gold record, released a couple of albums with a decent-sized label, been covered in the music press, toured as support for a major act - these kinds of things are the indicators that a band is on the way. I wish them luck, it's a tough game. Just zis Guy you know? 16:45, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

They have a proffessionally made 4 track-EP, 2 tracks on their label's (Distort which is the same label as Alexisonfire Summer Compilation) and a proffessionally made 7" record and the video on Muchmusic. . They have t shirts, pins and other merchandise and they play shows with International nown groups. Do you people have any idea how many 1 hit wonders are have their own pages on this site? or useless stubs relating to the useless things nobody needs to know?

We are painfully aware of how many insignificant bands have managed to weasel their way into WP, and I would personally encourage you to nominate any you find which do not meet WP:MUSIC, or at least tag them with {music-importance}. But the existence of some articles which do not meet guidelines has never been, for me, a compelling argument for including more. Just zis Guy you know? 09:17, 27 March 2006 (UTC) reply

TEAM (company)

This is the second nomination for deletion; the first, resulting in no consensus, can be found here. The second nomination was made because there is nothing about this company/organization that warrants an article separate from either Quixtar or Independent Business Owner; the copyright infringement lawsuit warrants mention, but does not make "TEAM" as a whole notable. Basically, this page as it currently stands is a hodgepodge of advertising, defense of the practices of MLM organizations, links to "TEAM" websites/blogs, and a brief discussion of the website; the latter can be incorporated into a different article, the rest ought to be deleted altogether for being unencyclopedic Paul 02:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Continuing Time (author's timeline)

Not encyclopedic Tom Harrison Talk 03:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Comment There is a notice at the end of the page that says, “The preceding is copyright 1994 by Daniel Keys Moran. It may be disseminated freely so long as the information contained herein is not altered in any way. The author can be reached at D.MORAN8@GENIE.GEIS.COM.” I do not think those conditions are compatible with release under the GFDL. The author seems to be trying to use this page as a vehicle to promote his work. Tom Harrison Talk 03:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: I don’t think the author is trying to use this page; the text was added by MJBurrage. However, the concern about non-GFDL content stands. -- Mithent 03:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Comment: DKM got off the net about two years ago, so he can’t possibly be engaging in self-promotion. Nonetheless, I’d like someone to discuss copyright issues here -- is DKM’s current license compatible with the GFDL? If not, someone would need to contact him and get his permission to post this on Wikipedia. I’m a fan of the Continuing Time, and I'd like to vote keep, but I can’t as long as copyvio concerns hang like a sword of Damocles over that section.
      • The rest of the article (the stuff aside from the list) is *not* written by DKM, has no possible copyright problems, and should be kept. Alba 03:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Comment: The list of 7 items, the timeline, and the release were all written by DKM, all I did was format it to fit wikipedia’s style, and post it. The list of items seems appropriate to the entry Daniel Keys Moran, and the timeline seems very appropriate to an entry on his work. (the latter of which I was going to work on this weekend as I reread the books. I only posted both parts together because it seemed like the proper way to fit DKM’s own release (freely disseminate, but do not change the information) to the wikipedia policy. (I only changed the formatting). Keep — MJBurrage 06:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, text that cannot be altered should usually not be posted to Wikipedia, especially when it makes up the bulk of the article's content. A quote might be acceptable depending on its length. As stated before, this is more Wikisource material, but I don't know if it is compatible with their license, either. -- Kjkolb 07:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as copyvio incompatible with GFDL. Contrary to MJBurrage, the essence of the GFDL is that any author is allowed to alter any other author's contribution for any reason, so long as the various versions are properly attributed. DKM's self-imposed conditions are incompatible with the GFDL, meaing the article would have to be permanently protected (a bad precedent to set) or deleted. Thatcher131 09:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete, incompatible with Wikipedia and the GFDL. the wub "?!" 12:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Rereading the editing portion of the GFDL, I can see the problem.
    Would using just the timeline information in a wikipedia article about the Continuing Time be fair use?
    What are the copyright issues for moving this to Wikisource? (which I am unfamiliar with)
    — MJBurrage 19:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I don't think this is what Wikisource includes. If it's available on line, maybe we could just link to it and provide a brief summary. Tom Harrison Talk 19:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Statistical game theory

It's nonsense, if it were not nonsense it would be OR, but it's nonsense Pete.Hurd 03:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

May I suggest that the sole author of this page moves it for the time being to his onw userspace, and developes it there first. After that, he can ask for comments by other editors at the mathematics project page to avoid WP:OR before reinserting it at the main space. KimvdLinde 17:46, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

There, i added references... don't say it's OR or nonsense before it gets more complete. Dexter Inside 17:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

I think adding references at the end is not sufficient in this case, I would consider to add references in the text as to indicate where it has been described as such. Combining pieces can also be original research. KimvdLinde 17:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Undecided See below. "Statistical game theory" is a real branch of mathematical statistics. There are academic papers on it here [14] and here [15]. I haven't evaluated the article for quality, but the topic is valid. It would be nice if someone with expertise could weigh in, but if they don't, I'll try to look it over later. Slowmover 17:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I'm not claiming that there is no such thing called statistical game theory, but that this article contains nothing that pertains to how the term as it is used outside of this page. None of the references supplied pertain to the topic either. Pete.Hurd 17:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Delete. I just wanted to add some material for other voters, but now I'm voting myself. The references given are general texts and so don't really support the article, which fails to discuss material aspects of statistical game theory as described elsewhere, so it should be deleted. If the true subject is something else, it can be recreated. Slowmover 18:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • okay in this case maybe the title of this article is not so appropriate. I couldn't find much stuff on the net regarding this particular study, and also there are no similar articles to this on Wikipedia. Suggestions for a new title would be nice. The references are pertinent to the actual content of this article, not to its title. Gonna learn more about namespaces used on Wikipedia. 10x for possible quality evaluations. Dexter Inside 18:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
So, where is it all about (in layman terms)? KimvdLinde 18:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Well, it's like this:
1) a more general theory that resembles the way statistics is used in physical chemistry, to be used in computer science
2) it is being developed and supported by the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, as well as some private companies interested in its applications in parallel processing and online gaming
3) here it is refered to with the term "statistical game theory" so if you are right it may be an ambiguation
4) it's supposed to treat general problems that arise from game theory and chaos theory as a cybernetic system
5) it's supposed to solve these problems using statistical methods Dexter Inside 19:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Ramatis

I tagged this as prod, but because it survived a vfd back in may the prod was removed. Basically the article survived the first time around because people wanted to give it a chance, but the article's still unverified, google turns up nothing, and the main article on the guy makes no mention of Ramatis. It sounds way too much like someone took something written in one of Kardec's books and created a character around him to write a bunch of books, but there no verification that the books or the character actually exists, and none's likely forthcoming. Night Gyr 21:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Are we giving any credence to this combination of statements: (1) "Ramatis is a spiritual entity"; (2) "Ramatis has dictated many books" ?? Regardless of whether Ramatis is found in Spritism or not, these statements formulate a belief, which by its very nature cannot be verified. Therefore, delete as unverifiable (ever). This material could only be included as a description of some beliefs under Spiritism, and cannot be entertained as written. Slowmover 21:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Cleanup and Keep merge to Allan Kardec and/or Spiritism. Kardec was apparently a proponent of spiritism and wrote books dictated to him by mediums channeling spirits. Apparently Ramatis contradicts some of Kardec's other writings. Ramatis is apparently a notable part of Spiritism as it is practiced in Brazil. An argument could be made to merge Ramatis into Spiritism but the Spiritism article currently contains little info on current Brazilian practics so there would be no context. Better as a separate article until somebody writes Spiritism in Brazil. Thatcher131 00:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
What are your sources? There's nothing on this guy online. Night Gyr 09:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Worldcat has at least 10 books "written" by Ramatis, dictated to Brazilian spiritualists including Hercílio Maes and América Paoliello Marques in the 1970s. I can't tell you what they say because I don't have copies and even if I did I don't read portugese. While looking for info on Kardec I found a comment that Spiritism was gradually absorbed into Spiritualism in Europe but retains a separate identity in South America. The article needs an expert tag but should be kept as part of modern Spiritism. Thatcher131 14:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
There are also apparently 2 books about Spiritism that mention Ramatis including Spirits and scientists, ideology, spiritism, and Brazilian culture by David Hess published by Penn State University Press. My library has it and I may be able to review it in the next few days. Thatcher131 14:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Looking at the references given in the article, the first is a press release that only mentions CommandN once "...video blogs such as CommandN, MacTV and Rocketboom." The superman references are on a blog of one of the hosts, and the other says "Techtainment is a personal website" [19]. While I find appearing on the back of someone's jacket in a panel (or two?) of a comic interesting, it's hardly a demonstration of notability.

The only possible category this could fall under would be a user page but as this page was not created by Rick himself as stated below, even that category would be a stretch.

  • KEEP - Don't Shoot the Messenger Rick is a 9/11 eyewitness and internet webcasting pioneer. When he started videotaping the burning towers he had no idea they were going to freefall at the speed of gravity therefore proving controlled demolition and government treason. After the fact, his testimony and video/DVD are historical evidence that could and should be used in a court of law to bring the real masterminds behind 9/11 to justice. Is this why he and his DVD are being attacked for deletion?
    unsigned vote by User:True Patriot, user's fourth edit, has exclusively edited Siegel-related AfDs. Lord Bob 17:50, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Comment - The fact that complicit behavior and obstruction of investigations indicate that top government officials are responsible for 9/11 is not Rick's fault. He is not the one who gave approval to carry out domestic terrorism during US wargame exercise week and implode the first three steel frame structures in history live on television assuming the public would never catch on. Are the concerted efforts to remove an eyewitness to the crime of the century nothing more than desperate attempts to maintain a coverup of the truth?
  • Keep - This seems to be a stub article to me (content started to be added 12 days ago). I'd really like to know more about that guy in an unbiased way, and what's better than a wikipedia article for that ? I say let it live its stub life for a while and see what comes out of it before submitting to deletion. Izwalito
  • Keep I think all the edits from anonymous show this has a lot of interest from the world outside of Wikipedia. People do not know your system, neither do we. It looks like a lot of people know about this guy and the film, doesn't it? Someone here thought that man was worthy and created it, we found it. It seems accurate enough, although vacant of the breath of the man. I think Izwalito seems to have a reasonable solution that would allow Wiki to bubble up the content and time will determine. It is POV at this point for any of you to continue claims of "insufficient proof of notability." 911 Eyewitness 20:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
a) burden of proof is on those that feel the article should be kept to submit proof of notability. none has thus far been produced
b) the flood of anonymous is a result of you putting a link to us on your site and asking people to chime in. -- Mmx1 22:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
about a) I'm trying to contribute in that way but as I said earlier I know nothing about the guy, and am certainly not the most qualified for this job
about b) actually that's how I ended up here. While doing research for working on 9/11 conspiracy theories I found an article signed by rick siegel about agents efforting on wikipedia to silence the most provocative and authoritative documentary yet released. ::: Obviously the guy has no clue about what is wikipedia and how wikipedia works, but IMHO that doesn't make him a phony guy or a bad fellow, and I know very well how wikipedian can react in a stubborn closed-minded way, especially in case like this when one unhappy individual makes bad publicity to wikipedia and use wrong means to try to get what he wants. My guess is this is a typical case of newcomers being bitten, it is difficult to cope with a whole community when you are a single individual or a bunch of individuals. Now I would like to see people **hint**apologize**hint** for their wrongdoing and start working together, not against each other.
please 911eyewitness, don't brandish my name for I am a one man army here. Have a look at the directions I pointed you on Talk:Rick Siegel.

Stanley Random Chess

Hoax. I would Prod this but I expect it'd be pulled. From the article Chessmaster: Chessmaster 9000 comes with over 150 different personalities ranging from International Grandmaster strength down to Stanley, who is described as a monkey and plays what are essentially random moves. This simian personality has inspired a fictitious chess variant called Stanley Random Chess. See also this. Stand by for possible influx of chain-yanking. (N.B.: Please be careful how you vote - any vote, including BJAODN, may be taken by some admins as (effectively) a keep vote. If you think the article deserves a place in BJAODN (I don't), consider voting "Delete and BJAODN".) Herostratus 05:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

The Chessmaster page was actually incorrect in describing SR Chess as "fictitious". While much of the commentary and purported history of SR Chess is clearly exaggerated and fictitious, and functions as a spoof and parody of serious chess commentary, the game itself is real, as can be verified from the website where it is actively played. Another user has since (correctly) emended the Chessmaster reference from "fictitious" to "humorous". Gregorytopov 20:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Comment. First off, AfD is no longer VfD and therefore we are not voting to delete or keep this article. Second, I'm really not sure what to make of this. References to this "game" have already been inserted into the articles of Mornington Crescent (game) and elsewhere, yet I am very hard pressed to find anything on the internet about this game that has not been written by Mr. Topov. The author references a fan base that seems to include solely himself. I am going to hold off on a keep/delete decision for now, pending more information.
Right, about AfD, but rather than "vote" perhaps I should say "traditional bolded one-word summary prepended to your argument (TBOWSPTYA)". I'm just pointing out that a TBOWSPTYA of (say) 5 Delete and 5 BJAODN can result in a closing of "No consensus, keep". Herostratus

  • Keep. Disclaimer: I authored the page, so my vote probably doesn't count, but please consider the evidence and check the supporting links for yourself.
I agree that if the fan base only included myself, it would be nonsense, but that is not the case. Two supporting references from external web-sites, to verify the above information:
* 1. http://www.chessvariants.org/link2.dir/srchess.html This chessvariants.org site only lists bona fide playable chess variants, and does not publish hoaxes. The historical claims of SR Chess are disputable and much of the commentary is cloaked in humor, but its playability and authenticity as a real chess variant is genuine.
* 2. http://www.schemingmind.com/games.aspx?variant_id=15 This list gives the current games of Stanley Random Chess in progress at this correspondence chess server. Over 100 games of Stanley Random Chess have been played in the last ten days alone. In fact, an international tournament is currently in progress between ten players, as is evident here: http://www.schemingmind.com/minitournament.aspx?tournament_id=520 This information can be verified with the webmaster of the schemingmind.com website, Austin Lockwood.
Two external contacts I can give: Tony Quintanilla, registered editor of chessvariants.org; and Austin Lockwood, webmaster of schemingmind.com. And dozens of schemingmind.com members who are actively playing the game.
I can appreciate the scepticism, but in view of the above, the Chessmaster page is incorrect in calling Stanley Random Chess "fictitious." This is not the case, because SR Chess is in fact a real chess variant, admittedly inspired somewhat by the Stanley Random Chess personality from the Chessmaster software. By way of explanation, the game is a parody of chess in some respects, by featuring humorous commentary and analysis. But it is a real and serious chess variant, that is played actively online between human players, especially at schemingmind.com.
The game plays exactly like regular chess, but with some additional rules, as described in the wikipedia entry. The two main differences from regular chess are correctly described under the "Rules" section, i.e. approximately 50% of moves are randomly selected by a computer; and if the game goes beyond 30 moves, the game can apparently randomly end at any moment, the winner being the player with most material. If you try playing online at schemingmind.com, you will find these facts to be true, and that the game plays exactly in this way.
In short, although some of the historical claims and some aspects of the game are subject to exaggeration and humor (as referenced in the link posted by Herostratus), the game itself is not a hoax, because there are players actively playing Stanley Random Chess at a real correspondence chess server. If deemed necessary, the content on the wikipedia page can be modified to clarify this. If items like Mornington Crescent (game) and Mao (game) can have Wikipedia entries, the same applies to Stanley Random Chess. The game has aspects of humor and secrecy, but it is a real and playable game, as any active member of the above-mentioned correspondence chess server can verify. I am quite willing to have the content modified or clarified to meet Wikipedia standards and satisfy those with concerns, but a valid entry for Stanley Random Chess is justifiable, especially since it is referenced by the Chessmaster article (albeit incorrectly as "fictional"). Feel free to direct me with specific suggestions about how I should modify the content to make it satisfactory. Gregorytopov 05:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. That's a great lot of words which I'll look at when I can, but your argument is not aided by the fact that the "Historical origins section of the article includes passages such as "Documenting historical evidence that dates back to the early English monarchy..." which links, as reference, to a page which says "Until recently, it was incorrectly supposed that Stanley Random Chess owed its humble origins to... the lowest rated personality in the world-famous Chessmaster software... [but] Following concentrated studies of the Stanley family in early Britain... Goldman and Morgenstern provide solid evidence that the name "Stanley" originates with Sir Thomas Stanley (d. 1459)... The first mention of the game itself is found in historical accounts of the Ferrers family in 1137... In 1892, the Stanley Cup was sadly donated by the rebel Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, from which time it was used as a trophy for amateur hockey in Canada. Frederick T. Stanley, who in 1843 founded The Stanley Works... was responsible for popularizing SR Chess in America..." The game may well be real, but mixing such faux history with the actual game is probably not a good way to get an article kept on Wikipedia. Perhaps a general cleanup of the article would solve the problem, assuming of course that the game itself is real. Herostratus 07:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Response. Good point. Even though the game is real (verifiable by the links above showing current games and a current tournament between multiple players), a Wikipedia article on the game should clear state that any claims about historical origins are exaggerated and intended to reflect humor rather than reality, even though the game itself is real. The same can be said about most commentary and analysis of the game, as described well below by another player of the game, surfnsuds. The paragraph on historical claims has currently been deleted by another editor - it probably should be reworked so that readers are informed about the wild claims, but made aware that while they are false the game itself is real, and that Monty Python style commentary is typically employed to accompany a real game, and is part of the attraction of the game. Gregorytopov 14:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Gregorytopov reply

Update It's real, and it's fun to play! I have played many games of Stanley Random Chess on Schemingmind.com over the last year or so. I enjoy it very much. It is worthwhile on a number of levels.

The game itself can be played to win, in spite of (and even taking advantage of) the random aspects (which are accurately described above, though I think the percentage of random moves are less than 50% as stated above - more like 30% is my guess). This aspect involves an exercise of basic statistics. The game also is unique in that one may make moves which in regular chess would appear to be blunders. However, again by playing the odds, you can frequently obtain advantage by making intentional "blunders". With study, you can determine which "blunders" can reault in advantage and which are not likely to. This aspect of the game to mind resembles bluffing in poker and is unique among the many chess variants I have played.

However, the most unusual and to my mind, the most fun aspect of the game is the tradition of creative, humorous commentary surrounding the game. The process is as mentioned above, similar to "Mornington Crescent" and the result reads more like Monty Python.

These points are intended to show that the game is viable and enjoyable for folks who tend to enjoy creative gaming. But they are my conclusions and opinions. Surely, however, the hundreds of games played to date at SchemingMind.com by dozens of players over the last year are a verifiable fact that proves the game is as real as tic-tac-toe.

I am brand-new to Wiki and have not figured things out yet. Bear with me. I am NOT GregTopov, but I admire his creation.

  • Comment Please note where those references point. A single geocities account with utter BS about the game, a copy of the BS, and a game server.

  • Update To address the above concerns, any fictional claims have been deleted, and a section entitled "Parody and Humor" has been added to clarify what aspects of the game are real, and to explain the tradition of exaggeration and fiction associated with the game.

  • Clarification: check verification sources please! I'm a new user, so I want to be polite, but I'm disappointed that folks don't seem to be checking some of my sources for verification, and are suggesting that the game itself is a hoax.
    • YES - much of the commentary and history of the game is fictional, for the sake of parody; in fact this is precisely one attraction of the game for creative players who enjoy adding to the imaginary traditions surrounding the game, and this is now clearly described and admitted as such in the revised form of the article.
    • NO - the game itself is not a hoax, but is a legal and fun chess variant, as can be verified from this tournament and 100s of current games from multiple users (logging on as a guest may be necessary to view those pages).
Like Mornington Crescent (game), Stanley Random Chess involves much parody and fiction, but like Mao (game) it is a real game with real rules and is actively played by enthusiasts. Visit these links [20] [21] to verify this, and you'll see for yourself that I'm not dreaming this up or perpetuating a hoax about a non-existent game played only by myself.

Comment, for those who don't read Dutch: this Krabbé article is very obviously not intended to be taken seriously. David Sneek 20:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Refutation, the Krabbe article correctly portrays typical SR Chess commentary, which as already noted is highly exaggerated and humorous in keeping with the spirit of the game. But this doesn't detract from the fact that the variant itself is real and playable. Conversely, it is an argument in favor of its notability, since it has received attention from independent chess analysts like Tim Krabbe. Gregorytopov 20:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
To say that his article, which consists entirely of claims no reader will believe, "doesn't detract from the fact that the variant itself is real", is hardly the same as suggesting that it can serve as a reference for an encyclopedia article. David Sneek 21:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

      • Good point. Stanley Random Chess is just as notable as most of the other chess variants already on Wikipedia, if not more so given its active player base. As a matter of consistency, if it is not sufficently notable, then many of the other chess variants should also be deleted, since several of them only reference a chessvariants.org page for verification, and are thus even less notable and less verifiable than SRC.
  • Keep. The first and primary reason for AfD was "hoax". This reason is objectively false. The game is real; it does exist. Enough evidence has been provided to prove that to someone willing to follow the source references.

Then the discussion turned to questions of notableness. It was compared(?) to a water gun fight in someone's backyard. I think the rhetorical comparison actually illustrates that the game is notable. Please follow my logic.

It's not exactly a water gun fight; but, could a tug-of-war contest ever make the Wikipedia? There is a famous tug-of war contest between two cities on the Mississippi River. While only the Iowa and Illinois city have direct interest in the contest, surely its relationship to the Mighty Mississip, to commercial river navigation (which is halted during the contest), and its uniqueness would give sufficient notoriety to the contest to justify a Wikipedia entry, n'est ce pas?

So, how do I justify that SR Chess is notable? SR Chess is discussed in at least two languages and on at least three referrenced independent websites (four with Wikipedia). Hundreds of games have been played -- by players around the world. This real and notable game has legitimate strategical value (for instance, the random elements are no obstacle to the good SRC player winning the majority of his or her games).

The problem is perhaps not irrelevance, but irritation. While the psuedo-serious approach to the game by its adherents (of which I am one) seems to bother some persons, their distress over behaviour is clearly no reason to eliminate the article itself. I do not know in what form the article first appeared; but, it looks objective and unoffensive at this point.

Stanley Random Chess is a legitimate part of the growing realm of chess variants. Please allow the article to remain in Wikipedia.

  • Refutation. A patently false assertion that cannot be substantiated, and an unfair contribution to this discussion. Unlike Stanley Random Chess, this backyard water pistol competition is not verifiable to have over 100 active games in progress, a current tournament, several external sources on multiple web-sites [24] [25], including one in another language [26], multiple participants who have testified here in support of its inclusion, and arguably less notable sister chess variants which have yet rightfully been gained existing entrance into Wikipedia.

  • Refutation of Refutation. I've just taken the time to actually sign up to your site and take a look at these statistics you've mentioned - the "100 active games" you keep citing appear to be from a tournament of just ten people playing against each other in a round-robin fashion, which makes it quite a disingenuous statistic. I've had bigger water pistol fights than that. -- McGeddon 20:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Refutation. The article is intended to be straight-forward and factual, and not the perpetration of a hoax, and I welcome any suggestions for improving it to make it more encyclopaedic. It is as well-sourced and at least as notable as chess variants already on Wikipedia like Penultima, Multiple move chess, Monster chess, Madrasi chess, and Colour chess. I'm a newcomer to Wikipedia, so please bear with me as I try to conform to the excellent standards of material here. Please feel free to give me guidance in making the article more encyclopaedic, and I will gladly revise it accordingly, since admitted weaknesses in presentation and style warrant revision and editing, not deletion. Gregorytopov 19:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • You're right that there are some bad chess-variant pages around ( Colour chess is insanely incoherent), and I'd support a delete on those as much as this. For your article to be cleaned up, the "Rules" section should either be clarified to "you toss a coin before each move to see whether to move randomly, and make stuff up to sound funny, and that's it" or at least explain that the software it runs on has hidden algorithms, if that's what this is about. It's very tough reading at the moment for anyone who's wondering what the game actually is, and "too complex to summarize" sets off all the usual hoax alarms. But eh, whatever you reword it to, I'm still not convinced that it's a sufficiently notable game. -- McGeddon 20:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • The game is notable because of the way it deals with the rules of chess. I agree that the current article needs heavy revision to fit Wikipedia standards, but as a chess variant the game is innovative. It's unfortunate that the game is linked so heavily to Mornington Crescent like history, but the gameplay is unique and deserving of a proper write up... with the fictional history left as a subsection rather than the focus. neoliminal 04:28, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. A real, legitimate chess variant; furthermore, it is reachable from among other pages Fizzbin, which article details a wholly fictitious game with no real-world rules or players. As such it not only exceeds whatever standard might be seen to apply to Fizzbin and Mornington_Crescent (game) but is demonstrably a part of the preexisting edifice of knowledge about abnormal or whimsical game variants. KASchmidt 20:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Exceeds? Fizzbin is a Star Trek thing, so has a considerable audience and presumably gets played by Trek fans occasionally. Mornington Crescent has been part of a popular UK radio show for 34 years and is played constantly on a number of dedicated web sites. I haven't yet seen any evidence that Stanley Random Chess beats either of these, that it's anything more than a jokey game played by ten friends on one web server. -- McGeddon 21:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I notice that you like Nomic. While played by very few people, this game is notable for it's rules!!! This is exactly why this entry needs to exist. The rules are what make SRC notable... which are unfortunately hidden in a Mao-esc secrecy. neoliminal 04:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It is just as notable as most other chess variants which have Wikipedia articles.
  • Comment from nominator. The article has been cleaned up and the hoaxy-elements inserted by the brand-new editor (who has shown a good attitude and learned fast) have been removed, so I think that we can now discuss the artice based purely on its notability. While I'm not withdrawing the nomination (which I don't have the power to do even if I wanted to) I am personally changing my vote to Keep, see below. Herostratus 22:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It's chess. Chess (IMO) has a special status in human intellectual endeavor, IMO it is a field coequal in important ways to (although very much smaller than) music composition, art, and so forth, and a proper encyclopedia should recognize this. So if 100 people are playing this, that IMO is much more notable than if 100 (or 10,000) people are playing some variant of Pokemon or Magic:The Gathering or whatever. It sounds like a valid and reasonably useful extension of chess. Per the arguments above that it's accepted as such, I say keep.

Herostratus 23:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Response. While it's true that only one internet chess server currently can support online play of SR Chess (and for the record, it should be noted that schemingmind.com is in no way whatsoever my web-site, I am merely a registered member there along with many others), it should be mentioned that:
1. On more than one occasion Stanley Random Chess has been the subject of discussion in chess newsgroups and other websites (I even came across one instance where a user observed that he had checked Wikipedia trying to find accurate information about it); SR Chess was even referenced here in Wikipedia on the Chessmaster page prior to the creation of this article.
2. The number of people who play it is certainly not limited to 10 (although the question could be asked whether this would be true of some other chess variants with Wikipedia articles), in fact I'm not even participating in the present tournament involving 10 players. The game has enjoyed an active and growing player base ever since its creation, which suggests it is not a mere novelty destined to enjoy only 15 minutes of fame.
  • General comment. As an aside, and as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I'd like to express appreciation for the patience shown me in learning how Wikipedia works, and for Wikipedia itself. I'm very impressed with and appreciative of the rigorous process required for publication here. In my ignorance, I was mistakenly of the impression that any Tom Dick or Harry could post their wild theories here (not that I counted myself among them). I'm finding that the method of peer consensus to approve and moderate content is very effective - I know that my article has already benefited from that, and rightly forced me to reshape its original form. I have learned from my experience with this that I can trust Wikipedia content to be quite reliable! Although I recognize that the article on Stanley Random Chess probably needs some further work, I have already made significant changes to the way it was originally submitted, and I now realize that in its original form, it was quite unacceptable and would (correctly) have raised many flags of alert. It should be noted that several of those who expressed themselves in favor of its deletion, did so in response to the article in its original form, not its present revised state. I hope that in its present revised form, with some further improvement and editing, can eventually be regarded as appropriate, honest, and worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

Sorry, I'm new to the AfD process, so forgive me if this is explained somewhere obvious, but - is this how the process actually works? The AfD page just says that "Articles for Deletion (AfD) (formerly Votes for deletion) is where Wikipedians discuss whether articles should be deleted.", and I don't see how this rules out a discussion that moves away from the initial point. It looks like the system has been changed from "Votes for Deletion", so it's not about vote counting any more, it's about debate. So long as we don't delete this article purely for being a hoax, I don't see a problem. -- McGeddon 02:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply
No, it's acceptable to delete an article for reasons other than the nominator's. It is desirable for people to reassess their opinion if new information develops, but we cannot assume that someone has simply not returned to view further comments (I, for example, have kept an eye on the page and am still not convinced, so my opinion stands). Ziggurat 02:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I'm with Ziggurat and McGeddon. The AfD and the votes still stand. As with Ziggurat I have also kept an eye on the debate after my initial vote. And I still say delete because even if not patent nonsense; I have yet to see any evidence of the encyclopedic nature of SRC as compared to the aforementioned backyard water pistol competition. Just being a chess variant is not sufficient. If it is being played by 10 people (or even 100 people) that too is not notable. The question is, is it a well-known and significant chess variant or not? IMO neither the above argument nor the sources demonstrate that it is. Marcus22 16:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Despite it being an article I submitted that's up for debate, it seems to me entirely reasonable that even if the original ground for proposed deletion turns out to be spurious (as in this case, since SR Chess is not a hoax), if other grounds are raised that potentially warrant deletion, a discussion and debate on these new grounds is entirely legitimate. Even though I don't find these new grounds convincing yet, a debate about them is quite fair. Gregorytopov 18:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Sequart.com

See also a related discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julian Darius. The site doesn't meet the guidelines at WP:WEB and the article cites no references. The lead claims the site to be one that publishes news, editorial columns, interviews, annotations, critical essays about the medium of comics, and the Continuity Pages, a hyperlinked study of families of characters by continuity rather than by title and date. The critical essays aren't peer reviewed and the whole site can be regarded as Julian Darius' personal website, per [32], "Sequart.com began in 1996 in the form of various writings on comics by Julian Darius on his personal website". Neither the site nor Darius have, as of yet, established notability within the comics scholarship field. Contributors to the site mentioned in the article are not notable within the field. The controversies described in the article reads to me as no different to any other internet message board spat. The books the site publishes are published through CafePress.com. At this present time, I don't think the site has established enough notability within its field to warrant an article, since wikipedia is not a web directory. Considering all of the above, I'm proposing deletion with no prejudice against a new article when notability has been established. Hiding talk 08:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. No demonstrated notability. Bucketsofg 16:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I'm on the fence but would tend towards inclusion. Site does meet WP:WEB. The critical essays certainly are reviewed by site staff, which is no different than other sites. I don't see how the site's ties to its original creator or how it publishes its books are relevant here. I wouldn't call myself an inclusionist, but would tend towards including this one. Twenty or so staff members, a book line, convention presence, strong traffic, some coverage in press -- this qualifies for me. I agree about the controversies part, tho, which should go. 23 March 2006
  • The site's T-shirts are through CafePress.com, not the site's books. Esquire also uses CafePress.com. 24 March 2006
  • Comment: Please explain how the site mets WP:WEB, as this would influence the discussion. I also apologise, the site's only book is published through Lulu.com.

  • Delete and merge to Sahaba - No consensus in AfD doesn't set precedents and neither does a category created within 10 minutes of nomination of this article. The Sahaba are notable for their association with the Prophet Muhammad but that doesn't mean their ancestry also becomes notable. It would be better for Striver to focus his attentions away from creating single-person family trees and move towards creating a dynastic family tree centred on the first five leaders of the Muslim community - the Prophet Muhammad and the four Rightly Guided Caliphs. I suggest the Family tree of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt as a guide to how such a family tree should be portrayed. Focus Striver, focus! Green Giant 01:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

William Oosterman

Vanity page Andyru 13:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

As I (William Oosterman)am no longer at Citywide both they and I would prefer that the bio is listed as seperate. It fits very well into the Canadian Clergy seciton. Andyru is a former Elder who resigned while at Westboro Baptist. If you check all his contributions he is on a campagin to discredit me and support Roy Lawrence the pedophile who snuck into our church under false pretenses and became Associate pastor, causing an incredible amount of damage. First Andyru posted a number of blatant lies about me on my page, now he is trying to have it removed. Take that into consideration during this "hearing". —This unsigned comment was added by Williamo1 ( talk • contribs) .

If you are indeed Rev. Oosterman (and I have no reason to doubt that), your own edit history on this and related articles doesn't help your case, unfortunately. Be sure to read WP:VANITY, and you may want to reconsider contributing to articles about yourself and closely related organizations. Powers 15:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Williamo1, I think a basic problem you have to realize, is that when people who are not famous, make articles about themselves, the only people interested in those article are people who either personally love the person, or personally dislike the person (with exceptions of course). This is one reason why we strongly discourage people from writing bios of themselves, and generally discourage articles on most regular people (or "non-notable" to use our lingo). I'm sure you don't like some of the stuff written about you. But, you can't, and won't be able to control it. Unsourced negative statements about you can be removed, but if somebody puts relevant sourced verifiable facts (or notable opinions), which aren't favorable to you, then you might have to live with that. You should seriously consider supporting deletion, and remove the problem. This is not your personal page, and it can never be what you wanted it to be. A better option would be to go make your own personal web page, at one of many web hosts (free or non-free). Then you can say anything you want, talk openly about your beleifs, and not have critics edit the page. Surely, that's what you truly want. -- Rob 16:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply


  • Delete Vanity article, apparently begun by Mr Oosterman himself ( Ecclesiastes 1:2 springs irresistibly to mind). More importantly, it does not demonstrate the notability of its subject. Oosterman's latest book gets a grand total of 12 hits on Google [38]; his other book, Out of the Gutter, gets four hits [39], of which three direct to non-working links and the fourth...er... comes back to this Wikipedia article. I cannot find evidence of Oosterman's national notability. The "achievements" of speaking at conferences, preaching in foreign churches and "being involved in campaigns" are not what I would describe as notability; ditto the directorship of a non-notable lobby group. And the Google test? Well, a search for "william oosterman" achieves just 76 unique Google hits [40] (my local vicar gets 321). So far as the "college professor" test of WP:BIO is concerned, Oosterman doesn't even appear to be a blip on the radar. Humansdorpie 16:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Week Delete as being vanity. Although, I might tolerate a new article in the future, by a neutral person. I would love to say Oosterman is totally non-notable. However, he does admittedly have minor notability. He is a minor author, he writes a little piece in a local paper on religion (or he did at one time), he's been quoted for his anti gay mariage views, and his effot to stop women baptist preachers, and given attention because his church had the same name as a more famous one. So, I could see neutral person making this article (if they provided reliable sources to the stuff I just mentioned). But, that's not happened. This article, at this time, is just being used for promotion and/or criticism. Maybe if/when he's more well known, somebody independent will write something. But, this is a tough call, and a fair arguement can go either way. -- Rob 16:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Family tree of Abdullah ibn Abbas

Bro, its not like i created this yesterday. And i did creat a family tree for them:

And by the way, Ibn Abbas is no way a random single individual. -- Striver 01:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I wasn't accusing you of creating them yesterday, but maybe you misunderstood my suggestion. What I mean't was a single family tree which highlights the Prophet and the Caliphs in bold, and around them as many of their relations as you want but keep it in line with Family tree of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt or any of the other Family trees of Egyptian dynasties. That way a reader can look at the tree and see the way that any two particular individuals are related. Ibn Abbas did not exist in a vacuum did he? He was related to several significant leaders of the Muslims, so he should be part of a larger family tree to illustrate this. Does that make any sense? Green Giant

Jesus as Mythical Creation

This article replicates Jesus-Myth and functions as a POV fork Paul B 17:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Religious objections

This page was created in response to the extended discussion on the old Jesus-Myth page. "Jesus-Myth" is a term commonly used by Christian apologists to refer to the concept that Jesus is a purely mythical creation. Aside from the title of a book, the term is not used by people who reject Jesus's historicity; about the only time one hears it is in a sneering manner from Christians. Discussion on the Talk page indicated general dissatisfaction with the title.

The Jesus-Myth page to a large extent reflected the Christian view of the idea and was mostly a jumbled, unorganized conglomeration of straw-man arguments until last week. After a great deal of often-heated debate, I re-wrote the page and offered it up for comment under my own personal page. A day passed with only a single minor comment, so I took the initiative to create the page.

It's my personal opinion that the RfD was made by a Christian who objects to the coherent presentation of an argument he passionately believes is profoundly heretical. As such, I believe that deleting this page would be a great disservice to Wikipedia.

Cheers,

  • It sounds like this is not a POV fork, but rather a combination of a rename and a rewrite. Perhaps the right way to handle it would be to first move the article to the new name, then rewrite it. Before each step, there should be a consensus in support. Alienus 18:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Merge (with talk discussion first) it is entirely a POV fork, as the content in it and in Jesus-Myth are nearly identical. The appropriate action would be to merge it back (with discussion) and propose a renaming on the talk page. One day on a personal page is not sufficient time to get any kind of organised feedback, and it is very inappropriate to simply replace links to a page with your own version, especially when the original page is protected!

Lior Haramaty

vanity page of user Liorhar. Some 70 Ghits for the name. Also bundling the walled garden articles of VocalTec and Designfenzider, (note the trailing comma) in this AfD.

Followed almost the exact format of article Alon Cohen who shared the founding of VocalTec and the mentioned patent. Reference to the facts can be foud [41] and many other references you can easily find on the net.

I would agree if not for the simple fact that this was copied from an existing article which shared both the founding of the company and the writing of the patent, and set the facts right. Should one hide behind a false name to do something like that to make it right? (as unfortunately probably is commonly done). This was just setting the facts right, which is what wikipedia is all about.

Regardless of the above - Vocaltec's articles are here because it totally changed the telecommunication scene and the economy behind it - you can expend on that forever, and the effect continues and will continue to shape it for the foreseen future. You're welcome to re-write these articles and actually expending them will probably serve them right.

    • You have a point and I have some reservations about VP:Vanity myself. The history (FWIW) is that I came across Designfenzider, first, thought it clearly non-notable, found it referenced Lior Haramaty created by Liorhar and with few Ghits, then saw a stub for VocalTec. So it all looked like a typical vanity walled garden. On reflection, I agree that VocalTec should be expanded and I withdrew that from AfD once I realised it had a genuine history. Dlyons493 Talk


Thanks, I appreciate that. As for Designfenzider, - didn't have time to write much about it, and maybe I shouldn't because of conflict of interest (although I sometimes think I’m “too objective” when it comes to where conflict of interest is involved…), but the company, and its main designer (Ron Gilad, another article-that-should-be-written), deserve its own article(s) as it has and is influencing the design industry (you can find a lot of reference by googelign and see pages and articles in many publications including a recent one in New York Times’ business section).

Anyway, I believe I made my point(s) and appreciate your sincerity and common sense (always good to chat with someone who keeps an open mind and looks at for solutions that make sense), so at this point I’ll pull out of this issues, and let you take it from here.

Thanks.

  • Keep (I am the article's creator). Your arguments are fairly flawed in my opinion: if it is "too short" then it needs expansion, not deletion (you did only wait less than two minutes after it's creation before nominating for deletion which didn't give me or other editors long in which to expand it). If it uses "profanity" then Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors (note that bloody on it's own exists as an article). Your only argument which would stand up, if valid, is that it is not sufficiently important to merit an article.

  • Keep per TheKoG. I have argued here many times that it is not at all inappropriate to tag an article for deletion immediately upon its creation in such cases as the article is altogether insufficient to demonstrate the notability of its subject (see, e.g., here, noting that, if an shoddy/short article is deleted, it can always be recreated in a more evolved form), but this article now is sufficiently expanded as to merit its being kept. I fear that Alethiophile, in view of this nomination and her nomination of Peter North (porn star), does not fully appreciate that Wikipedia is not censored for minors and that a determination as to the article's "offensiveness" (to him/her, for example) is no way relevant to a determination as to its worth or the notability of its subject.

CommentAlethiophile has suggested on my talk page that this was a personal attack. I thought that I properly critcized (albeit stridently) the rationale underlying the nomination but did not write pejoratively vis-à-vis the nominator; to have written that perhaps he/she did not fully appreciate WP:NOT, I thought, was not to criticize the nominator but, instead, to suggest that he/she familiarize herself with policies reflecting a general consensus.

  • Weak keep Strong keep (I'd voted "weak keep" because I wasn't sure about notability, but a quick search surely demonstrates notability) inasmuch as it seems settled that porn stars with sufficient film histories and general following are to be viewed as notable; if there is a general desire that that discussion should be reopened, I'd gladly take part (arguing for adult film actors as notable), but, in the meanwhile, I think "keep" is clearly in order. Notwithstanding one's opinions about the proper disposition of the article, surely one cannot find the article "offensive". Joe 18:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

First, apologies for not signing above. I heard that he was added to the IMDB, as you can add to it in a simmilar way to the way you can add to wikipedia (so I heard).

I could be wrong on this, but my understanding is that you can get a person added to IMDB, but the credits come from the actual movies. You can find listings for people with no credits, and those are suspect. Fan1967 20:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I performed a minor edit to this page in the past (just corrected a link) after finding the entry while looking at some filmographies on IMDB. I'm not sure it's a hoax, calling it such suggests there was an intent to deceive people, it may just be an inside joke of some sort. In any event possibly not genuine and as noted previously even if it was it does not warrant inclusion anyway due to the lack of parts this actor has had. Feebtlas 14:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC). Keep. After doing a little research of my own I would like to retract my original post requesting delete and replace it with a keep. I believe that the hoax may actually be on the part of PhiJ, a 'double hoax', if you will. By putting forward a legitimate entry for deletion he may actually be hoaxing us. There is far more evidence that this actor exists than does not. Feebtlas 10:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Delete as advertisement. Author has made several good-faith attempts to rewrite the article (see discussion here), but still appears to be promoting the site rather than providing encyclopedic information. No apparent assertion notability other than the belief of the owner that "his company has revolutionised the way Britons buy their glasses".

  • Changing vote to Keep per edits by Sliggy. Bugwit grunt / scribbles 19:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete per WP:CORP and nomination (although I think Bugwit is correct to acknoweldge that the author has tried to edit the article in order that it should conform to WP norms [cf., the common conduct of authors here upon finding their advertising/vanity pages nominated for deletion]; whatever may be the improvements to the article, though, the subject remains non-notable). In view of the commendable editing by Sliggy, I'm changing this vote to weak keep. There is always the temptation, when presented with the fact of the existence of articles on similar companies (notwithstanding suggestions that they are distinguishable from the subject of this article), to suggest that those articles be deleted as well, but, in view of WP:CORP, which appears to reflect a consensus, I think this article and the others to which posters allude below is about a notable company.

  • Retain - this article is very simular to many of the articles found on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:UK_retail_company_stubs. In particluar the company "Littlewoods" has simular content expressing views, such as "However, Littlewoods' home shopping operation continues to be one of the biggest players in the UK market". I would very much like to keep this aricle. Obviously it is not against Wikipedia policies to give details of companies otherwise there wouldn't be the above category. So please could you (rather than delete the article) give me guidance on what I should remove to make it acceptable? I have now removed the quotation Bugwit gave above Jiff78.

  • I find it quite strange that this article can be found "promotional & unencyclopdic", when there are 20+ others in the category above that have "very" similar content. I would probably agree with you and say delete myself if these articles were also put up for deletion. Could anyone explain to me the difference between them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiff78 ( talk • contribs)

Littlewoods was a bad example, take SysWear or Dorothy_Perkins, both these articles (there are many others) seem self promoting to me with little other content. I tried to add notability to my aritcle by giving examples of where Glassesdirect had been in the press (now removed), not just because they have been in the press but because of the reason. My main concern is that my article now, is not that different to the others in the above category, but has been singled out for deletion. I have bought many pairs of glasses from this company and have recently found Wikipedia as a very good resource of information, I wanted to share my cost savings with other people. I am also trying to understand Wikipedia's policies for article writing which currently seem a bit hit & miss. Jiff78

  • Comment - Thank you Sliggy, I have a lot to learn when writing articles for Wikipedia, but this experience has given me a good understanding on how not to do it :) Thanks for you time, it is exactly what I wanted to get across Jiff78

"Garden Walk Buffalo"

Advertisement. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 20:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Well, this is my first time posting on Wikipedia, and I apologize for my faux pas. I'm sure that a lot of the content can be changed to make this less "public relations" (it is not advertising), and more "encyclopedia". Please advise as to how this article can be transformed into something acceptable. It's not clear, based upon seeing a lot of the content out on the website, what make this qualify for rejection while others do not.

The purpose of the post was to communicate a significant non-profit cultural event to the Western New York region, and growing outside of this region as well. Tens of thousands of people flock to this area each year, many coming from out of state as well. Its popularity is growing exponentially.

What makes this event unique is that hundreds of Buffalonians formally organize and volunteer every year to put on an event whose sole purpose is to beautify the city, improve its public image, and create a better type of community. It manages to bridge all sorts of socio-economic barriers, and promotes the community improvement of living conditions to areas of the city that need it.

This event is completely about social change, not money. There is no paid staff. Donations go back into the community in the form of beatification grants, which are used to create community gardens and landscaping.

What is confusing about Wikipedia's policy is that there are many things out there that are pure advertising, and have little or no benefit to the community at large. For example, there is a fast-food chain in Buffalo that has it's post out here. See Mighty Taco at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_Taco . This isn't advertising?

I believe this qualifies because it is a relatively unique and popular yearly event. There are other Buffalo events posted on Wik that are similar to Garden Walk - see Allentown Arts Festival ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allentown_Arts_Festival) and Thursday at the Square( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday_at_the_Square). Incidentally, these events are more commercial, and do not distinguish themselves in any way from other public events all over the world.

World War II atrocities

Inherently POV article -- Philip Baird Shearer 20:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Anything can be put in here as an atrocity. For example Hitler and others thought that the binding of prisoners hands by Commandos on Sark and Dieppe raids was an atrocity, so he issued the Commando Order that resulted in a number of war crimes and prosecutions for war crimes after the war. That the commando order resulted in war crime trial with guilty verdicts is documented with reliable and reputable sources, but almost anything which someone at some time thought was an atrocity could end up on this page, because unlike a war crime there is no definition of what constitutes an atrocity in war.
  • There are lots of other pages which cover this area and are subject to some sort of NPOV and can be verified in already been published by reliable and reputable sources. See the list of articles under Nuremberg_Trials#See also. So if this one is removed no useful information on this page will be lost from the Wikipedia project.
  • One further possibility is as there is an Allied war crimes article is to move this one to Axis war crimes which would duplicate information in other lists but would give a central list for disambiguation purposes althought there is a list called List of war crimes which already does this.

  • Strong Keep for more or less the reasons cited by aeropagitica!
    The concept of atrocity is indeed inherently POV (your side commits atrocities, whereas mine takes extreme measures for reasons of operational necessity) ... but that doesn't stop an NPOV article being written, as reportage on the controversy. This article is actually just a list of existing articles, and it's one which a historian would find very useful -- not as an objectively accurate list of atrocities, but as a list of events which are frequently labelled as atrocities. As such, it is a very useful point of entry to the historical and historiographical debates.
    I think it does need an introductory section problematising the concept of "atrocity", but that's an editing issue, not grounds for deletion. -- BrownHairedGirl 00:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
    • At the moment the list includes 3 British air raids and half a dozen American ones. As this was bombing on an industrial scale, if all the air raids throughout the war by both sides are added to this list then it will be huge. If not every air raid then which ones are chosen (Why for example is the bombing of Dresden by the British an atrocity but not the bombing of Dresden by the Americans)? Did you know that there were 262 separate air raids on Cologne alone [49]? It can not argue that some were violations of the law of war (for example because a city was undefended), because the criteria is atrocity not war crime, and some think that all civilian bombing was an atrocity ( Bishop G. Bell for one). As it grows, I don't see how this list can be of any use to anyone as "a very useful point of entry to the historical and historiographical debates". -- Philip Baird Shearer 02:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Advertisement for someone's self-published, internet-only, non-notable book. PROD deleted without comment. Note: Apparently not the same content on which we had an AfD already. Sandstein 21:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC) Nomination retracted, has received multiple press coverage per recent additions, borderline notable. Sandstein 09:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi there, I wrote this article. I am a student from Montreal (User: Kieranfox though I'm not logged in right now) and met the author at a reading of this book. Arguments for the article: i) the author link is 'false' because I'm not aware of how to create a disambiguation and write a new author article of someone by the same name. ii) The book is not 'internet-only' but is simply available for free ALSO on the internet. I read it in a hard copy signed by the author, so I know. iii) Is the book non-notable? Have you read it? Do you have any arguments for why there is nothing notable about this book or its author? Does the fact that it is his first book make it irrelevant somehow? Please elaborate. iv) This is in no way an 'advertisement', especially considering the book is available entirely for free and no one stands to gain anything financially from this page; and as my 'relationship' to the author is, well, basically nonexistent. He signed my book once a couple years ago. I put the page up merely because the man and the book are fascinating and the information is well synthesized, PUBLISHED and available to anyone interested in reading it. I read over the What Wiki Is page. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be about, cataloguing and elucidating interesting information that has already been published and established elsewhere? Anyway I appreciate your vigilance, in that this might be construed as some crackpot simply advertising his own crap through Wiki, but honestly I would suggest you give the book a read or quick once-over (it is a short and quick read in any case) and then see if you still find its inclusion so abhorrent. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.7.160.140 ( talk • contribs)

Hello there, and welcome to Wikipedia. In principle, you are quite right about what Wikipedia is - but I also suggest that you take a quick glance at what Wikipedia is not - namely, not a collection of indiscriminate information, or a catalogue of all the books in the world. That means, we only carry information on notable subjects - if we were to have an article on every pamphlet, screed, private thesis or self-published book, Wikipedia would quickly fill with POV cruft, grow unmanageavly large and lose encyclopedic value as a whole.
For this book, this means we need proof that more people than its author (and possibly you) care about it: a wide circulation, a noted scientific impact, substantial press coverage, etc., all through verifiable sources. Hope this helps, and have fun contributing more to Wikipedia! Sandstein 07:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Hey Sandstein. Your points are well taken, and I have included links to other press coverage that I could find in online format. I have to question the notion though that more people knowing or talking about a thing gives it more value, or a more deserving place in Wikipedia, though in essence the logic is valid... but one need only take a look at pop culture to see the flaws of this argument. I think that if you really believe it's invalid, I would ask you to read over the book (at least in part), and then decide if it is notable or not, rather than assuming that since mainstream academia has passed it by, you should too. That's all I ask. If after some reading you still think any mention of it should be obliterated here on Wiki, I won't fight with the decision. Thanks. (Kieranfox)

The recently added links indicate that the book has received multiple reviews. With (weak) notability thus established, I retract the nomination and vote Keep. That said, no, I won't look through the book. That would be judging its merit, which is irrelevant to Wikipedia. Only notability is relevant (which is why we have an article on e.g. Mein Kampf).

Comment I will likely vote delete, in view of the ostensible non-notability of the subject, but surely the reason given in the nomination is categorically insufficient for deletion. While the creator of a page certainly may make a case for deletion when he/she is the only author, this page has been edited (albeit not substantively) by sundry individuals, and it is not for the creator of the page to determine exclusively and individually its proper disposition. The information on the page does not appear to be OR and does appear to be available elsewhere on the Internet, in view of which fact it doesn't seem at all appropriate to consider whether the author (or subject) of the page desires that the information should be on the Internet.

Comment. The technology of microwave popcorn bags may be fodder for an article (though in its present incarnation I think it should be merged with popcorn). However, there is nothing notable about popcorn bags of the everyday variety. The entire focus should thus be on the history and technology involved with that topic; the article should not masquerade as a general article on popcorn bags and should be renamed "Microwave popcorn bag technology" or something similar. Think about it this way, would there be any reason to keep if the article was lolipop wrapper? Generic popcorn bags are still the analogue of lolipop wrapper. -- Fuhghettaboutit 04:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Night Warrior

A webcomic, found here. The site hosting it has no Alexa rank, there doesn't seem to be any sign of notability for it. What makes this website more distinct and notable about all the others? Not much by the looks of it. - Hahnchen 00:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Night Warrior is the U.K.'s leading independant comic book. It's a unique collaboration of over a hundered artists and writers from all over the world. That in itself makes it stand out above all the others and makes it a worthy inclusion to wikipedia.

It's had some big press attention already for example it's one of the few independant webcomics to feature on Comic-Con. At it's peak it gets over a thousand unique hits per day and later in the year it's going to print.

It would seem odd to have a list of British comics or Webcomics and not have Night Warrior on there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.40.49.56 ( talk • contribs) 10:11, 2006 March 24

Bunch of writers

PROD tag removed. Article about a website that does not seem to meet WP:WEB or be otherwise verifiable. W.marsh 00:30, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

The article looks very likely to be deleted simply because the forum isn't notable enough to merit an entry. With 122 members as of this writing, it looks unlikely that anyone who isn't directly involved in the forum would ever visit, or edit, the Wikipedia page. That means that the page would end up being forever POV and unencyclopedic (which, I submit, it is) and would be unlikely to ever meet Wikipedia's standards of quality. Get yourself a few thousand more users and a few mentions in major national or international publications and your forum may then become notable. Incidentally, I myself made the same mistake last year: I submitted a web forum I belong to with 298 users. The article was deleted. -- Hyperbole 23:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

This is a multiple nomination, here are the other articles nominated:

I first encountered this set of articles after seeing Cosmic Universe get unprodded. Although these articles appear in Template:Tycoon Computer Games, they are not Tycoon Computer games. These are not published software titles, instead, they are role playing gaming websites. I do not think that these forum games are notable. These articles are about the many iterations of a single game, the current iteration is The Other Film Tycoon. This game has 58 members in it's forum, and 32 players on their leaderboard.

But if it makes a difference, this is not just a resume dump, and I have no affiliation with the subject at all other than being a fan who found her work on the Internet. Minimal Google hits at present (as an above commenter mentioned), but she's only been modeling for about a year and she's already made MAXIM Belgium and the Lingerie Bowl. In addition, I didn't list her upcoming features, but she will be in the Playboy Lingerie Catalogue as well as several 2007 calendars. I didn't list her TV stuff (yet), but she's also been on CSI, The Office, an Icehouse Beer commercial, ESPN2's Cold Pizza, MTV's TRL, and other stuff I'm not familiar with. I predict that the Google count will surpass 1,000 within 60 days (the MAXIM feature is just hitting stands now) and will rise from there. If it'd be better to wait and create a Wikipedia article after that happens . . . like I said, no offense taken. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.105.140.121 ( talk • contribs)

      • I'm always skeptical about the touring criteria. So they rented a bus and drove from Montreal to Portland, ME and then to Toronto - that hardly qualifies as a national tour IMHO, let alone an international tour. Any band that lives in Plattsburgh, NY and gets a gig at a bar in Montreal a half-hour away can be said to have been on international tour?! But I'm listening... I'm not completely inflexible on this questionable criteria. To me, the almost-total lack of recorded music speaks much more loudly though. That puts them on the same level as a couple of my cousins. — Wknight94 ( talk) 16:04, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
        • Actually, I'd be in favor of relaxing the touring requirement to regions as opposed to nations, but yes, that's international - they went on a tour and went to multiple nations. It's also not out of the question for tours to be able to help build up the credibility to have the ability to record. Regardless, whatever they've recorded has ended up on MuchMusic, so they're probably at a higher level than your cousins. -- badlydrawnjeff ( WP:MEME?) 16:09, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • When they are on Allmusic, have topped the Indie charts or made a respectable showing in the national mainstream charts, got a gold record, released a couple of albums with a decent-sized label, been covered in the music press, toured as support for a major act - these kinds of things are the indicators that a band is on the way.

TEAM (company)

This is the second nomination for deletion; the first, resulting in no consensus, can be found here. The second nomination was made because there is nothing about this company/organization that warrants an article separate from either Quixtar or Independent Business Owner; the copyright infringement lawsuit warrants mention, but does not make "TEAM" as a whole notable. Basically, this page as it currently stands is a hodgepodge of advertising, defense of the practices of MLM organizations, links to "TEAM" websites/blogs, and a brief discussion of the website; the latter can be incorporated into a different article, the rest ought to be deleted altogether for being unencyclopedic Paul 02:00, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Comment There is a notice at the end of the page that says, “The preceding is copyright 1994 by Daniel Keys Moran. It may be disseminated freely so long as the information contained herein is not altered in any way. The author can be reached at D.MORAN8@GENIE.GEIS.COM.” I do not think those conditions are compatible with release under the GFDL. The author seems to be trying to use this page as a vehicle to promote his work. Tom Harrison Talk 03:13, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
    • Comment: I don’t think the author is trying to use this page; the text was added by MJBurrage. However, the concern about non-GFDL content stands. -- Mithent 03:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Comment: DKM got off the net about two years ago, so he can’t possibly be engaging in self-promotion. Nonetheless, I’d like someone to discuss copyright issues here -- is DKM’s current license compatible with the GFDL? If not, someone would need to contact him and get his permission to post this on Wikipedia. I’m a fan of the Continuing Time, and I'd like to vote keep, but I can’t as long as copyvio concerns hang like a sword of Damocles over that section.
      • The rest of the article (the stuff aside from the list) is *not* written by DKM, has no possible copyright problems, and should be kept. Alba 03:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Transwiki to Wikisource per Ashibaka. Alba 14:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete: Wikisource material, not an encyclopedia article. Ashibaka tock 03:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Comment: The list of 7 items, the timeline, and the release were all written by DKM, all I did was format it to fit wikipedia’s style, and post it. The list of items seems appropriate to the entry Daniel Keys Moran, and the timeline seems very appropriate to an entry on his work. (the latter of which I was going to work on this weekend as I reread the books. I only posted both parts together because it seemed like the proper way to fit DKM’s own release (freely disseminate, but do not change the information) to the wikipedia policy. (I only changed the formatting). Keep — MJBurrage 06:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete, text that cannot be altered should usually not be posted to Wikipedia, especially when it makes up the bulk of the article's content. A quote might be acceptable depending on its length. As stated before, this is more Wikisource material, but I don't know if it is compatible with their license, either. -- Kjkolb 07:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete as copyvio incompatible with GFDL. Contrary to MJBurrage, the essence of the GFDL is that any author is allowed to alter any other author's contribution for any reason, so long as the various versions are properly attributed. DKM's self-imposed conditions are incompatible with the GFDL, meaing the article would have to be permanently protected (a bad precedent to set) or deleted. Thatcher131 09:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete, incompatible with Wikipedia and the GFDL. the wub "?!" 12:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Rereading the editing portion of the GFDL, I can see the problem.
    Would using just the timeline information in a wikipedia article about the Continuing Time be fair use?
    What are the copyright issues for moving this to Wikisource? (which I am unfamiliar with)
    — MJBurrage 19:41, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I don't think this is what Wikisource includes. If it's available on line, maybe we could just link to it and provide a brief summary. Tom Harrison Talk 19:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Statistical game theory

It's nonsense, if it were not nonsense it would be OR, but it's nonsense Pete.Hurd 03:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

May I suggest that the sole author of this page moves it for the time being to his onw userspace, and developes it there first. After that, he can ask for comments by other editors at the mathematics project page to avoid WP:OR before reinserting it at the main space. KimvdLinde 17:46, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

There, i added references... don't say it's OR or nonsense before it gets more complete. Dexter Inside 17:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

I think adding references at the end is not sufficient in this case, I would consider to add references in the text as to indicate where it has been described as such. Combining pieces can also be original research. KimvdLinde 17:11, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Undecided See below. "Statistical game theory" is a real branch of mathematical statistics. There are academic papers on it here [14] and here [15]. I haven't evaluated the article for quality, but the topic is valid. It would be nice if someone with expertise could weigh in, but if they don't, I'll try to look it over later. Slowmover 17:37, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I'm not claiming that there is no such thing called statistical game theory, but that this article contains nothing that pertains to how the term as it is used outside of this page. None of the references supplied pertain to the topic either. Pete.Hurd 17:48, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Delete. I just wanted to add some material for other voters, but now I'm voting myself. The references given are general texts and so don't really support the article, which fails to discuss material aspects of statistical game theory as described elsewhere, so it should be deleted. If the true subject is something else, it can be recreated. Slowmover 18:33, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • okay in this case maybe the title of this article is not so appropriate. I couldn't find much stuff on the net regarding this particular study, and also there are no similar articles to this on Wikipedia. Suggestions for a new title would be nice. The references are pertinent to the actual content of this article, not to its title. Gonna learn more about namespaces used on Wikipedia. 10x for possible quality evaluations. Dexter Inside 18:27, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
So, where is it all about (in layman terms)? KimvdLinde 18:34, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Well, it's like this:
1) a more general theory that resembles the way statistics is used in physical chemistry, to be used in computer science
2) it is being developed and supported by the Polytechnic University of Bucharest, as well as some private companies interested in its applications in parallel processing and online gaming
3) here it is refered to with the term "statistical game theory" so if you are right it may be an ambiguation
4) it's supposed to treat general problems that arise from game theory and chaos theory as a cybernetic system
5) it's supposed to solve these problems using statistical methods Dexter Inside 19:22, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Ramatis

I tagged this as prod, but because it survived a vfd back in may the prod was removed. Basically the article survived the first time around because people wanted to give it a chance, but the article's still unverified, google turns up nothing, and the main article on the guy makes no mention of Ramatis. It sounds way too much like someone took something written in one of Kardec's books and created a character around him to write a bunch of books, but there no verification that the books or the character actually exists, and none's likely forthcoming. Night Gyr 21:30, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete. Are we giving any credence to this combination of statements: (1) "Ramatis is a spiritual entity"; (2) "Ramatis has dictated many books" ?? Regardless of whether Ramatis is found in Spritism or not, these statements formulate a belief, which by its very nature cannot be verified. Therefore, delete as unverifiable (ever). This material could only be included as a description of some beliefs under Spiritism, and cannot be entertained as written. Slowmover 21:38, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete nn religion. The only GHits I find for this seem to be for a Brazilian musician or a Star Trek planet. Fan1967 22:16, 14 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Cleanup and Keep merge to Allan Kardec and/or Spiritism. Kardec was apparently a proponent of spiritism and wrote books dictated to him by mediums channeling spirits. Apparently Ramatis contradicts some of Kardec's other writings. Ramatis is apparently a notable part of Spiritism as it is practiced in Brazil. An argument could be made to merge Ramatis into Spiritism but the Spiritism article currently contains little info on current Brazilian practics so there would be no context. Better as a separate article until somebody writes Spiritism in Brazil. Thatcher131 00:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
What are your sources? There's nothing on this guy online. Night Gyr 09:47, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Worldcat has at least 10 books "written" by Ramatis, dictated to Brazilian spiritualists including Hercílio Maes and América Paoliello Marques in the 1970s. I can't tell you what they say because I don't have copies and even if I did I don't read portugese. While looking for info on Kardec I found a comment that Spiritism was gradually absorbed into Spiritualism in Europe but retains a separate identity in South America. The article needs an expert tag but should be kept as part of modern Spiritism. Thatcher131 14:30, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply
There are also apparently 2 books about Spiritism that mention Ramatis including Spirits and scientists, ideology, spiritism, and Brazilian culture by David Hess published by Penn State University Press. My library has it and I may be able to review it in the next few days. Thatcher131 14:50, 15 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Looking at the references given in the article, the first is a press release that only mentions CommandN once "...video blogs such as CommandN, MacTV and Rocketboom." The superman references are on a blog of one of the hosts, and the other says "Techtainment is a personal website" [19]. While I find appearing on the back of someone's jacket in a panel (or two?) of a comic interesting, it's hardly a demonstration of notability.

  • Comment Obviously people have a very difficult time being objective about Rick's page. As he is directly associated with the most important event in 50 years of US History, it would be nearsighted to delete his page.

The only possible category this could fall under would be a user page but as this page was not created by Rick himself as stated below, even that category would be a stretch.

  • KEEP - Don't Shoot the Messenger Rick is a 9/11 eyewitness and internet webcasting pioneer. When he started videotaping the burning towers he had no idea they were going to freefall at the speed of gravity therefore proving controlled demolition and government treason. After the fact, his testimony and video/DVD are historical evidence that could and should be used in a court of law to bring the real masterminds behind 9/11 to justice. Is this why he and his DVD are being attacked for deletion?

  • Comment - The fact that complicit behavior and obstruction of investigations indicate that top government officials are responsible for 9/11 is not Rick's fault. He is not the one who gave approval to carry out domestic terrorism during US wargame exercise week and implode the first three steel frame structures in history live on television assuming the public would never catch on. Are the concerted efforts to remove an eyewitness to the crime of the century nothing more than desperate attempts to maintain a coverup of the truth?
  • Keep - This seems to be a stub article to me (content started to be added 12 days ago). I'd really like to know more about that guy in an unbiased way, and what's better than a wikipedia article for that ? I say let it live its stub life for a while and see what comes out of it before submitting to deletion. Izwalito
  • Keep I think all the edits from anonymous show this has a lot of interest from the world outside of Wikipedia. People do not know your system, neither do we. It looks like a lot of people know about this guy and the film, doesn't it? Someone here thought that man was worthy and created it, we found it. It seems accurate enough, although vacant of the breath of the man. I think Izwalito seems to have a reasonable solution that would allow Wiki to bubble up the content and time will determine. It is POV at this point for any of you to continue claims of "insufficient proof of notability." 911 Eyewitness 20:58, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
a) burden of proof is on those that feel the article should be kept to submit proof of notability. none has thus far been produced
b) the flood of anonymous is a result of you putting a link to us on your site and asking people to chime in. -- Mmx1 22:31, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
about a) I'm trying to contribute in that way but as I said earlier I know nothing about the guy, and am certainly not the most qualified for this job
about b) actually that's how I ended up here. While doing research for working on 9/11 conspiracy theories I found an article signed by rick siegel about agents efforting on wikipedia to silence the most provocative and authoritative documentary yet released. ::: Obviously the guy has no clue about what is wikipedia and how wikipedia works, but IMHO that doesn't make him a phony guy or a bad fellow, and I know very well how wikipedian can react in a stubborn closed-minded way, especially in case like this when one unhappy individual makes bad publicity to wikipedia and use wrong means to try to get what he wants. My guess is this is a typical case of newcomers being bitten, it is difficult to cope with a whole community when you are a single individual or a bunch of individuals. Now I would like to see people **hint**apologize**hint** for their wrongdoing and start working together, not against each other.
please 911eyewitness, don't brandish my name for I am a one man army here. Have a look at the directions I pointed you on Talk:Rick Siegel.

Stanley Random Chess

Hoax. I would Prod this but I expect it'd be pulled. From the article Chessmaster: Chessmaster 9000 comes with over 150 different personalities ranging from International Grandmaster strength down to Stanley, who is described as a monkey and plays what are essentially random moves. This simian personality has inspired a fictitious chess variant called Stanley Random Chess. See also this. Stand by for possible influx of chain-yanking. (N.B.: Please be careful how you vote - any vote, including BJAODN, may be taken by some admins as (effectively) a keep vote. If you think the article deserves a place in BJAODN (I don't), consider voting "Delete and BJAODN".) Herostratus 05:02, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

The Chessmaster page was actually incorrect in describing SR Chess as "fictitious". While much of the commentary and purported history of SR Chess is clearly exaggerated and fictitious, and functions as a spoof and parody of serious chess commentary, the game itself is real, as can be verified from the website where it is actively played. Another user has since (correctly) emended the Chessmaster reference from "fictitious" to "humorous". Gregorytopov 20:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Comment. First off, AfD is no longer VfD and therefore we are not voting to delete or keep this article. Second, I'm really not sure what to make of this. References to this "game" have already been inserted into the articles of Mornington Crescent (game) and elsewhere, yet I am very hard pressed to find anything on the internet about this game that has not been written by Mr. Topov. The author references a fan base that seems to include solely himself. I am going to hold off on a keep/delete decision for now, pending more information.
Right, about AfD, but rather than "vote" perhaps I should say "traditional bolded one-word summary prepended to your argument (TBOWSPTYA)". I'm just pointing out that a TBOWSPTYA of (say) 5 Delete and 5 BJAODN can result in a closing of "No consensus, keep". Herostratus

  • Keep. Disclaimer: I authored the page, so my vote probably doesn't count, but please consider the evidence and check the supporting links for yourself.
I agree that if the fan base only included myself, it would be nonsense, but that is not the case. Two supporting references from external web-sites, to verify the above information:
* 1. http://www.chessvariants.org/link2.dir/srchess.html This chessvariants.org site only lists bona fide playable chess variants, and does not publish hoaxes. The historical claims of SR Chess are disputable and much of the commentary is cloaked in humor, but its playability and authenticity as a real chess variant is genuine.
* 2. http://www.schemingmind.com/games.aspx?variant_id=15 This list gives the current games of Stanley Random Chess in progress at this correspondence chess server. Over 100 games of Stanley Random Chess have been played in the last ten days alone. In fact, an international tournament is currently in progress between ten players, as is evident here: http://www.schemingmind.com/minitournament.aspx?tournament_id=520 This information can be verified with the webmaster of the schemingmind.com website, Austin Lockwood.
Two external contacts I can give: Tony Quintanilla, registered editor of chessvariants.org; and Austin Lockwood, webmaster of schemingmind.com. And dozens of schemingmind.com members who are actively playing the game.
I can appreciate the scepticism, but in view of the above, the Chessmaster page is incorrect in calling Stanley Random Chess "fictitious." This is not the case, because SR Chess is in fact a real chess variant, admittedly inspired somewhat by the Stanley Random Chess personality from the Chessmaster software. By way of explanation, the game is a parody of chess in some respects, by featuring humorous commentary and analysis. But it is a real and serious chess variant, that is played actively online between human players, especially at schemingmind.com.
The game plays exactly like regular chess, but with some additional rules, as described in the wikipedia entry. The two main differences from regular chess are correctly described under the "Rules" section, i.e. approximately 50% of moves are randomly selected by a computer; and if the game goes beyond 30 moves, the game can apparently randomly end at any moment, the winner being the player with most material. If you try playing online at schemingmind.com, you will find these facts to be true, and that the game plays exactly in this way.
In short, although some of the historical claims and some aspects of the game are subject to exaggeration and humor (as referenced in the link posted by Herostratus), the game itself is not a hoax, because there are players actively playing Stanley Random Chess at a real correspondence chess server. If deemed necessary, the content on the wikipedia page can be modified to clarify this. If items like Mornington Crescent (game) and Mao (game) can have Wikipedia entries, the same applies to Stanley Random Chess. The game has aspects of humor and secrecy, but it is a real and playable game, as any active member of the above-mentioned correspondence chess server can verify. I am quite willing to have the content modified or clarified to meet Wikipedia standards and satisfy those with concerns, but a valid entry for Stanley Random Chess is justifiable, especially since it is referenced by the Chessmaster article (albeit incorrectly as "fictional"). Feel free to direct me with specific suggestions about how I should modify the content to make it satisfactory. Gregorytopov 05:38, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Comment. That's a great lot of words which I'll look at when I can, but your argument is not aided by the fact that the "Historical origins section of the article includes passages such as "Documenting historical evidence that dates back to the early English monarchy..." which links, as reference, to a page which says "Until recently, it was incorrectly supposed that Stanley Random Chess owed its humble origins to... the lowest rated personality in the world-famous Chessmaster software... [but] Following concentrated studies of the Stanley family in early Britain... Goldman and Morgenstern provide solid evidence that the name "Stanley" originates with Sir Thomas Stanley (d. 1459)... The first mention of the game itself is found in historical accounts of the Ferrers family in 1137... In 1892, the Stanley Cup was sadly donated by the rebel Sir Frederick Arthur Stanley, from which time it was used as a trophy for amateur hockey in Canada. Frederick T. Stanley, who in 1843 founded The Stanley Works... was responsible for popularizing SR Chess in America..." The game may well be real, but mixing such faux history with the actual game is probably not a good way to get an article kept on Wikipedia. Perhaps a general cleanup of the article would solve the problem, assuming of course that the game itself is real. Herostratus 07:20, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Response. Good point. Even though the game is real (verifiable by the links above showing current games and a current tournament between multiple players), a Wikipedia article on the game should clear state that any claims about historical origins are exaggerated and intended to reflect humor rather than reality, even though the game itself is real. The same can be said about most commentary and analysis of the game, as described well below by another player of the game, surfnsuds. The paragraph on historical claims has currently been deleted by another editor - it probably should be reworked so that readers are informed about the wild claims, but made aware that while they are false the game itself is real, and that Monty Python style commentary is typically employed to accompany a real game, and is part of the attraction of the game. Gregorytopov 14:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Gregorytopov reply

Update It's real, and it's fun to play! I have played many games of Stanley Random Chess on Schemingmind.com over the last year or so. I enjoy it very much. It is worthwhile on a number of levels.

The game itself can be played to win, in spite of (and even taking advantage of) the random aspects (which are accurately described above, though I think the percentage of random moves are less than 50% as stated above - more like 30% is my guess). This aspect involves an exercise of basic statistics. The game also is unique in that one may make moves which in regular chess would appear to be blunders. However, again by playing the odds, you can frequently obtain advantage by making intentional "blunders". With study, you can determine which "blunders" can reault in advantage and which are not likely to. This aspect of the game to mind resembles bluffing in poker and is unique among the many chess variants I have played.

However, the most unusual and to my mind, the most fun aspect of the game is the tradition of creative, humorous commentary surrounding the game. The process is as mentioned above, similar to "Mornington Crescent" and the result reads more like Monty Python.

These points are intended to show that the game is viable and enjoyable for folks who tend to enjoy creative gaming. But they are my conclusions and opinions. Surely, however, the hundreds of games played to date at SchemingMind.com by dozens of players over the last year are a verifiable fact that proves the game is as real as tic-tac-toe.

I am brand-new to Wiki and have not figured things out yet. Bear with me. I am NOT GregTopov, but I admire his creation.

  • Comment Please note where those references point. A single geocities account with utter BS about the game, a copy of the BS, and a game server. This is something made up in school one day and then written up on a couple of web sites. Also compare the purpoted history of "Common Chess" and, well, reality. Weregerbil 10:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Update To address the above concerns, any fictional claims have been deleted, and a section entitled "Parody and Humor" has been added to clarify what aspects of the game are real, and to explain the tradition of exaggeration and fiction associated with the game. To the best of my knowledge, the article in its present revised form is accurate and verifiable from the sources cited above. Gregorytopov 16:15, 23 March 2006 (UTC)Gregorytopov reply

  • Clarification: check verification sources please! I'm a new user, so I want to be polite, but I'm disappointed that folks don't seem to be checking some of my sources for verification, and are suggesting that the game itself is a hoax.
    • YES - much of the commentary and history of the game is fictional, for the sake of parody; in fact this is precisely one attraction of the game for creative players who enjoy adding to the imaginary traditions surrounding the game, and this is now clearly described and admitted as such in the revised form of the article.
    • NO - the game itself is not a hoax, but is a legal and fun chess variant, as can be verified from this tournament and 100s of current games from multiple users (logging on as a guest may be necessary to view those pages).
Like Mornington Crescent (game), Stanley Random Chess involves much parody and fiction, but like Mao (game) it is a real game with real rules and is actively played by enthusiasts. Visit these links [20] [21] to verify this, and you'll see for yourself that I'm not dreaming this up or perpetuating a hoax about a non-existent game played only by myself. Gregorytopov 16:55, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The article is badly written on a subject that holds little or no importance to chess, or to anything else for that matter. Regardless of whether it is fictitious or not, dispose of this!

Response. I'm a little perplexed by the assertion that "the references for this article are all 1. by the same person", particularly when the article cites at least three other sources outside the geocities site:
Comment, for those who don't read Dutch: this Krabbé article is very obviously not intended to be taken seriously. David Sneek 20:42, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Refutation, the Krabbe article correctly portrays typical SR Chess commentary, which as already noted is highly exaggerated and humorous in keeping with the spirit of the game. But this doesn't detract from the fact that the variant itself is real and playable. Conversely, it is an argument in favor of its notability, since it has received attention from independent chess analysts like Tim Krabbe. Gregorytopov 20:26, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
To say that his article, which consists entirely of claims no reader will believe, "doesn't detract from the fact that the variant itself is real", is hardly the same as suggesting that it can serve as a reference for an encyclopedia article. David Sneek 21:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
All three can be contacted for the purposes of external verification. Isn't this inconsistent with the suggestion that there is a single source, and that the article is "unverifiable"? Respectfully submitted, Gregorytopov 19:21, 23 March 2006 (UTC)GregoryTopov reply

    • and if I put up a $10,000 first prize for the world champion, would that make it notable? The game is a chess variant, like all the other chess variants listed. It's notability here is on the same level as Mao (game) or Nomic which arguably have less players currently playing them. neoliminal 01:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
      • Good point. Stanley Random Chess is just as notable as most of the other chess variants already on Wikipedia, if not more so given its active player base. As a matter of consistency, if it is not sufficently notable, then many of the other chess variants should also be deleted, since several of them only reference a chessvariants.org page for verification, and are thus even less notable and less verifiable than SRC.
  • Keep. The first and primary reason for AfD was "hoax". This reason is objectively false. The game is real; it does exist. Enough evidence has been provided to prove that to someone willing to follow the source references.

Then the discussion turned to questions of notableness. It was compared(?) to a water gun fight in someone's backyard. I think the rhetorical comparison actually illustrates that the game is notable. Please follow my logic.

It's not exactly a water gun fight; but, could a tug-of-war contest ever make the Wikipedia? There is a famous tug-of war contest between two cities on the Mississippi River. While only the Iowa and Illinois city have direct interest in the contest, surely its relationship to the Mighty Mississip, to commercial river navigation (which is halted during the contest), and its uniqueness would give sufficient notoriety to the contest to justify a Wikipedia entry, n'est ce pas?

So, how do I justify that SR Chess is notable? SR Chess is discussed in at least two languages and on at least three referrenced independent websites (four with Wikipedia). Hundreds of games have been played -- by players around the world. This real and notable game has legitimate strategical value (for instance, the random elements are no obstacle to the good SRC player winning the majority of his or her games).

The problem is perhaps not irrelevance, but irritation. While the psuedo-serious approach to the game by its adherents (of which I am one) seems to bother some persons, their distress over behaviour is clearly no reason to eliminate the article itself. I do not know in what form the article first appeared; but, it looks objective and unoffensive at this point.

Stanley Random Chess is a legitimate part of the growing realm of chess variants. Please allow the article to remain in Wikipedia.

  • Refutation. A patently false assertion that cannot be substantiated, and an unfair contribution to this discussion. Unlike Stanley Random Chess, this backyard water pistol competition is not verifiable to have over 100 active games in progress, a current tournament, several external sources on multiple web-sites [24] [25], including one in another language [26], multiple participants who have testified here in support of its inclusion, and arguably less notable sister chess variants which have yet rightfully been gained existing entrance into Wikipedia. Gregorytopov 20:06, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Refutation of Refutation. I've just taken the time to actually sign up to your site and take a look at these statistics you've mentioned - the "100 active games" you keep citing appear to be from a tournament of just ten people playing against each other in a round-robin fashion, which makes it quite a disingenuous statistic. I've had bigger water pistol fights than that. -- McGeddon 20:54, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Refutation. The article is intended to be straight-forward and factual, and not the perpetration of a hoax, and I welcome any suggestions for improving it to make it more encyclopaedic. It is as well-sourced and at least as notable as chess variants already on Wikipedia like Penultima, Multiple move chess, Monster chess, Madrasi chess, and Colour chess. I'm a newcomer to Wikipedia, so please bear with me as I try to conform to the excellent standards of material here. Please feel free to give me guidance in making the article more encyclopaedic, and I will gladly revise it accordingly, since admitted weaknesses in presentation and style warrant revision and editing, not deletion. Gregorytopov 19:41, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • You're right that there are some bad chess-variant pages around ( Colour chess is insanely incoherent), and I'd support a delete on those as much as this. For your article to be cleaned up, the "Rules" section should either be clarified to "you toss a coin before each move to see whether to move randomly, and make stuff up to sound funny, and that's it" or at least explain that the software it runs on has hidden algorithms, if that's what this is about. It's very tough reading at the moment for anyone who's wondering what the game actually is, and "too complex to summarize" sets off all the usual hoax alarms. But eh, whatever you reword it to, I'm still not convinced that it's a sufficiently notable game. -- McGeddon 20:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • The game is notable because of the way it deals with the rules of chess. I agree that the current article needs heavy revision to fit Wikipedia standards, but as a chess variant the game is innovative. It's unfortunate that the game is linked so heavily to Mornington Crescent like history, but the gameplay is unique and deserving of a proper write up... with the fictional history left as a subsection rather than the focus. neoliminal 04:28, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. A real, legitimate chess variant; furthermore, it is reachable from among other pages Fizzbin, which article details a wholly fictitious game with no real-world rules or players. As such it not only exceeds whatever standard might be seen to apply to Fizzbin and Mornington_Crescent (game) but is demonstrably a part of the preexisting edifice of knowledge about abnormal or whimsical game variants. KASchmidt 20:16, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Exceeds? Fizzbin is a Star Trek thing, so has a considerable audience and presumably gets played by Trek fans occasionally. Mornington Crescent has been part of a popular UK radio show for 34 years and is played constantly on a number of dedicated web sites. I haven't yet seen any evidence that Stanley Random Chess beats either of these, that it's anything more than a jokey game played by ten friends on one web server. -- McGeddon 21:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I notice that you like Nomic. While played by very few people, this game is notable for it's rules!!! This is exactly why this entry needs to exist. The rules are what make SRC notable... which are unfortunately hidden in a Mao-esc secrecy. neoliminal 04:32, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It is just as notable as most other chess variants which have Wikipedia articles.
  • Comment from nominator. The article has been cleaned up and the hoaxy-elements inserted by the brand-new editor (who has shown a good attitude and learned fast) have been removed, so I think that we can now discuss the artice based purely on its notability. While I'm not withdrawing the nomination (which I don't have the power to do even if I wanted to) I am personally changing my vote to Keep, see below. Herostratus 22:59, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Keep. It's chess. Chess (IMO) has a special status in human intellectual endeavor, IMO it is a field coequal in important ways to (although very much smaller than) music composition, art, and so forth, and a proper encyclopedia should recognize this. So if 100 people are playing this, that IMO is much more notable than if 100 (or 10,000) people are playing some variant of Pokemon or Magic:The Gathering or whatever. It sounds like a valid and reasonably useful extension of chess. Per the arguments above that it's accepted as such, I say keep.

Herostratus 23:02, 25 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Response. While it's true that only one internet chess server currently can support online play of SR Chess (and for the record, it should be noted that schemingmind.com is in no way whatsoever my web-site, I am merely a registered member there along with many others), it should be mentioned that:
1. On more than one occasion Stanley Random Chess has been the subject of discussion in chess newsgroups and other websites (I even came across one instance where a user observed that he had checked Wikipedia trying to find accurate information about it); SR Chess was even referenced here in Wikipedia on the Chessmaster page prior to the creation of this article.
2. The number of people who play it is certainly not limited to 10 (although the question could be asked whether this would be true of some other chess variants with Wikipedia articles), in fact I'm not even participating in the present tournament involving 10 players. The game has enjoyed an active and growing player base ever since its creation, which suggests it is not a mere novelty destined to enjoy only 15 minutes of fame.
  • General comment. As an aside, and as a newcomer to Wikipedia, I'd like to express appreciation for the patience shown me in learning how Wikipedia works, and for Wikipedia itself. I'm very impressed with and appreciative of the rigorous process required for publication here. In my ignorance, I was mistakenly of the impression that any Tom Dick or Harry could post their wild theories here (not that I counted myself among them). I'm finding that the method of peer consensus to approve and moderate content is very effective - I know that my article has already benefited from that, and rightly forced me to reshape its original form. I have learned from my experience with this that I can trust Wikipedia content to be quite reliable! Although I recognize that the article on Stanley Random Chess probably needs some further work, I have already made significant changes to the way it was originally submitted, and I now realize that in its original form, it was quite unacceptable and would (correctly) have raised many flags of alert. It should be noted that several of those who expressed themselves in favor of its deletion, did so in response to the article in its original form, not its present revised state. I hope that in its present revised form, with some further improvement and editing, can eventually be regarded as appropriate, honest, and worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia.

  • The bottom line here is that it's not a hoax. That was what the AfD was called for and it's clearly not true.

Sorry, I'm new to the AfD process, so forgive me if this is explained somewhere obvious, but - is this how the process actually works? The AfD page just says that "Articles for Deletion (AfD) (formerly Votes for deletion) is where Wikipedians discuss whether articles should be deleted.", and I don't see how this rules out a discussion that moves away from the initial point. It looks like the system has been changed from "Votes for Deletion", so it's not about vote counting any more, it's about debate. So long as we don't delete this article purely for being a hoax, I don't see a problem. -- McGeddon 02:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply
No, it's acceptable to delete an article for reasons other than the nominator's. It is desirable for people to reassess their opinion if new information develops, but we cannot assume that someone has simply not returned to view further comments (I, for example, have kept an eye on the page and am still not convinced, so my opinion stands). Ziggurat 02:17, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply
I'm with Ziggurat and McGeddon. The AfD and the votes still stand. As with Ziggurat I have also kept an eye on the debate after my initial vote. And I still say delete because even if not patent nonsense; I have yet to see any evidence of the encyclopedic nature of SRC as compared to the aforementioned backyard water pistol competition. Just being a chess variant is not sufficient. If it is being played by 10 people (or even 100 people) that too is not notable. The question is, is it a well-known and significant chess variant or not? IMO neither the above argument nor the sources demonstrate that it is. Marcus22 16:38, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Despite it being an article I submitted that's up for debate, it seems to me entirely reasonable that even if the original ground for proposed deletion turns out to be spurious (as in this case, since SR Chess is not a hoax), if other grounds are raised that potentially warrant deletion, a discussion and debate on these new grounds is entirely legitimate. Even though I don't find these new grounds convincing yet, a debate about them is quite fair. Gregorytopov 18:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Sequart.com

See also a related discussion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Julian Darius. The site doesn't meet the guidelines at WP:WEB and the article cites no references. The lead claims the site to be one that publishes news, editorial columns, interviews, annotations, critical essays about the medium of comics, and the Continuity Pages, a hyperlinked study of families of characters by continuity rather than by title and date. The critical essays aren't peer reviewed and the whole site can be regarded as Julian Darius' personal website, per [32], "Sequart.com began in 1996 in the form of various writings on comics by Julian Darius on his personal website". Neither the site nor Darius have, as of yet, established notability within the comics scholarship field. Contributors to the site mentioned in the article are not notable within the field. The controversies described in the article reads to me as no different to any other internet message board spat. The books the site publishes are published through CafePress.com. At this present time, I don't think the site has established enough notability within its field to warrant an article, since wikipedia is not a web directory. Considering all of the above, I'm proposing deletion with no prejudice against a new article when notability has been established. Hiding talk 08:28, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete per nom. No demonstrated notability. Bucketsofg 16:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • I'm on the fence but would tend towards inclusion. Site does meet WP:WEB. The critical essays certainly are reviewed by site staff, which is no different than other sites. I don't see how the site's ties to its original creator or how it publishes its books are relevant here. I wouldn't call myself an inclusionist, but would tend towards including this one. Twenty or so staff members, a book line, convention presence, strong traffic, some coverage in press -- this qualifies for me. I agree about the controversies part, tho, which should go. 23 March 2006
  • The site's T-shirts are through CafePress.com, not the site's books. Esquire also uses CafePress.com. 24 March 2006
  • Comment: Please explain how the site mets WP:WEB, as this would influence the discussion. I also apologise, the site's only book is published through Lulu.com. I'm not convinced one book constitutes a book line. Deteails of the press coverage would be a help. Hiding talk 12:56, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Sahaba's ancestors

Sahaba article would be dominated by this list. -- Striver 16:16, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Sorry, JerseyDevil, but this is a useful referent to a large set of Muslim pages. Therefore, it is not an indiscriminate collection of information. I'm going to have to go with rename, keep and cleanup on this one. Alba 23:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete and merge to Sahaba - No consensus in AfD doesn't set precedents and neither does a category created within 10 minutes of nomination of this article. The Sahaba are notable for their association with the Prophet Muhammad but that doesn't mean their ancestry also becomes notable. It would be better for Striver to focus his attentions away from creating single-person family trees and move towards creating a dynastic family tree centred on the first five leaders of the Muslim community - the Prophet Muhammad and the four Rightly Guided Caliphs. I suggest the Family tree of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt as a guide to how such a family tree should be portrayed. Focus Striver, focus! Green Giant 01:49, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Yes, their ancestry is also notable, you can often find the patronymics for up to 5-6 generations going back. -- Striver 19:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

William Oosterman

Vanity page Andyru 13:58, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

As I (William Oosterman)am no longer at Citywide both they and I would prefer that the bio is listed as seperate. It fits very well into the Canadian Clergy seciton. Andyru is a former Elder who resigned while at Westboro Baptist. If you check all his contributions he is on a campagin to discredit me and support Roy Lawrence the pedophile who snuck into our church under false pretenses and became Associate pastor, causing an incredible amount of damage. First Andyru posted a number of blatant lies about me on my page, now he is trying to have it removed. Take that into consideration during this "hearing". —This unsigned comment was added by Williamo1 ( talk • contribs) .

If you are indeed Rev. Oosterman (and I have no reason to doubt that), your own edit history on this and related articles doesn't help your case, unfortunately. Be sure to read WP:VANITY, and you may want to reconsider contributing to articles about yourself and closely related organizations. Powers 15:49, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
Williamo1, I think a basic problem you have to realize, is that when people who are not famous, make articles about themselves, the only people interested in those article are people who either personally love the person, or personally dislike the person (with exceptions of course). This is one reason why we strongly discourage people from writing bios of themselves, and generally discourage articles on most regular people (or "non-notable" to use our lingo). I'm sure you don't like some of the stuff written about you. But, you can't, and won't be able to control it. Unsourced negative statements about you can be removed, but if somebody puts relevant sourced verifiable facts (or notable opinions), which aren't favorable to you, then you might have to live with that. You should seriously consider supporting deletion, and remove the problem. This is not your personal page, and it can never be what you wanted it to be. A better option would be to go make your own personal web page, at one of many web hosts (free or non-free). Then you can say anything you want, talk openly about your beleifs, and not have critics edit the page. Surely, that's what you truly want. -- Rob 16:25, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply


  • Delete Vanity article, apparently begun by Mr Oosterman himself ( Ecclesiastes 1:2 springs irresistibly to mind). More importantly, it does not demonstrate the notability of its subject. Oosterman's latest book gets a grand total of 12 hits on Google [38]; his other book, Out of the Gutter, gets four hits [39], of which three direct to non-working links and the fourth...er... comes back to this Wikipedia article. I cannot find evidence of Oosterman's national notability. The "achievements" of speaking at conferences, preaching in foreign churches and "being involved in campaigns" are not what I would describe as notability; ditto the directorship of a non-notable lobby group. And the Google test? Well, a search for "william oosterman" achieves just 76 unique Google hits [40] (my local vicar gets 321). So far as the "college professor" test of WP:BIO is concerned, Oosterman doesn't even appear to be a blip on the radar. Humansdorpie 16:31, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Delete. Non-notable bio. Bucketsofg 16:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Week Delete as being vanity. Although, I might tolerate a new article in the future, by a neutral person. I would love to say Oosterman is totally non-notable. However, he does admittedly have minor notability. He is a minor author, he writes a little piece in a local paper on religion (or he did at one time), he's been quoted for his anti gay mariage views, and his effot to stop women baptist preachers, and given attention because his church had the same name as a more famous one. So, I could see neutral person making this article (if they provided reliable sources to the stuff I just mentioned). But, that's not happened. This article, at this time, is just being used for promotion and/or criticism. Maybe if/when he's more well known, somebody independent will write something. But, this is a tough call, and a fair arguement can go either way. -- Rob 16:59, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Family tree of Abdullah ibn Abbas

Bro, its not like i created this yesterday. And i did creat a family tree for them:

And by the way, Ibn Abbas is no way a random single individual. -- Striver 01:32, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Comment I wasn't accusing you of creating them yesterday, but maybe you misunderstood my suggestion. What I mean't was a single family tree which highlights the Prophet and the Caliphs in bold, and around them as many of their relations as you want but keep it in line with Family tree of the Eighteenth dynasty of Egypt or any of the other Family trees of Egyptian dynasties. That way a reader can look at the tree and see the way that any two particular individuals are related. Ibn Abbas did not exist in a vacuum did he? He was related to several significant leaders of the Muslims, so he should be part of a larger family tree to illustrate this. Does that make any sense? Green Giant

Jesus as Mythical Creation

This article replicates Jesus-Myth and functions as a POV fork Paul B 17:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Religious objections

This page was created in response to the extended discussion on the old Jesus-Myth page. "Jesus-Myth" is a term commonly used by Christian apologists to refer to the concept that Jesus is a purely mythical creation. Aside from the title of a book, the term is not used by people who reject Jesus's historicity; about the only time one hears it is in a sneering manner from Christians. Discussion on the Talk page indicated general dissatisfaction with the title.

The Jesus-Myth page to a large extent reflected the Christian view of the idea and was mostly a jumbled, unorganized conglomeration of straw-man arguments until last week. After a great deal of often-heated debate, I re-wrote the page and offered it up for comment under my own personal page. A day passed with only a single minor comment, so I took the initiative to create the page.

It's my personal opinion that the RfD was made by a Christian who objects to the coherent presentation of an argument he passionately believes is profoundly heretical. As such, I believe that deleting this page would be a great disservice to Wikipedia.

Cheers,

Vote and Comment
  • It sounds like this is not a POV fork, but rather a combination of a rename and a rewrite. Perhaps the right way to handle it would be to first move the article to the new name, then rewrite it. Before each step, there should be a consensus in support. Alienus 18:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Merge (with talk discussion first) it is entirely a POV fork, as the content in it and in Jesus-Myth are nearly identical. The appropriate action would be to merge it back (with discussion) and propose a renaming on the talk page. One day on a personal page is not sufficient time to get any kind of organised feedback, and it is very inappropriate to simply replace links to a page with your own version, especially when the original page is protected!

Lior Haramaty

vanity page of user Liorhar. Some 70 Ghits for the name. Also bundling the walled garden articles of VocalTec and Designfenzider, (note the trailing comma) in this AfD.

Followed almost the exact format of article Alon Cohen who shared the founding of VocalTec and the mentioned patent. Reference to the facts can be foud [41] and many other references you can easily find on the net.

I would agree if not for the simple fact that this was copied from an existing article which shared both the founding of the company and the writing of the patent, and set the facts right. Should one hide behind a false name to do something like that to make it right? (as unfortunately probably is commonly done). This was just setting the facts right, which is what wikipedia is all about.

Regardless of the above - Vocaltec's articles are here because it totally changed the telecommunication scene and the economy behind it - you can expend on that forever, and the effect continues and will continue to shape it for the foreseen future. You're welcome to re-write these articles and actually expending them will probably serve them right.

    • You have a point and I have some reservations about VP:Vanity myself. The history (FWIW) is that I came across Designfenzider, first, thought it clearly non-notable, found it referenced Lior Haramaty created by Liorhar and with few Ghits, then saw a stub for VocalTec. So it all looked like a typical vanity walled garden. On reflection, I agree that VocalTec should be expanded and I withdrew that from AfD once I realised it had a genuine history. Dlyons493 Talk


Thanks, I appreciate that. As for Designfenzider, - didn't have time to write much about it, and maybe I shouldn't because of conflict of interest (although I sometimes think I’m “too objective” when it comes to where conflict of interest is involved…), but the company, and its main designer (Ron Gilad, another article-that-should-be-written), deserve its own article(s) as it has and is influencing the design industry (you can find a lot of reference by googelign and see pages and articles in many publications including a recent one in New York Times’ business section).

Anyway, I believe I made my point(s) and appreciate your sincerity and common sense (always good to chat with someone who keeps an open mind and looks at for solutions that make sense), so at this point I’ll pull out of this issues, and let you take it from here.

Thanks.

  • Keep (I am the article's creator). Your arguments are fairly flawed in my opinion: if it is "too short" then it needs expansion, not deletion (you did only wait less than two minutes after it's creation before nominating for deletion which didn't give me or other editors long in which to expand it). If it uses "profanity" then Wikipedia is not censored for the protection of minors (note that bloody on it's own exists as an article). Your only argument which would stand up, if valid, is that it is not sufficiently important to merit an article.

  • Keep per TheKoG. I have argued here many times that it is not at all inappropriate to tag an article for deletion immediately upon its creation in such cases as the article is altogether insufficient to demonstrate the notability of its subject (see, e.g., here, noting that, if an shoddy/short article is deleted, it can always be recreated in a more evolved form), but this article now is sufficiently expanded as to merit its being kept. I fear that Alethiophile, in view of this nomination and her nomination of Peter North (porn star), does not fully appreciate that Wikipedia is not censored for minors and that a determination as to the article's "offensiveness" (to him/her, for example) is no way relevant to a determination as to its worth or the notability of its subject. Joe
CommentAlethiophile has suggested on my talk page that this was a personal attack. I thought that I properly critcized (albeit stridently) the rationale underlying the nomination but did not write pejoratively vis-à-vis the nominator; to have written that perhaps he/she did not fully appreciate WP:NOT, I thought, was not to criticize the nominator but, instead, to suggest that he/she familiarize herself with policies reflecting a general consensus.

Delete because it is offensive, pornographic, and can serve no possible purpose. Alethiophile 18:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Weak keep Strong keep (I'd voted "weak keep" because I wasn't sure about notability, but a quick search surely demonstrates notability) inasmuch as it seems settled that porn stars with sufficient film histories and general following are to be viewed as notable; if there is a general desire that that discussion should be reopened, I'd gladly take part (arguing for adult film actors as notable), but, in the meanwhile, I think "keep" is clearly in order. Notwithstanding one's opinions about the proper disposition of the article, surely one cannot find the article "offensive". Joe 18:17, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

First, apologies for not signing above. I heard that he was added to the IMDB, as you can add to it in a simmilar way to the way you can add to wikipedia (so I heard).

I could be wrong on this, but my understanding is that you can get a person added to IMDB, but the credits come from the actual movies. You can find listings for people with no credits, and those are suspect. Fan1967 20:14, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Delete I performed a minor edit to this page in the past (just corrected a link) after finding the entry while looking at some filmographies on IMDB. I'm not sure it's a hoax, calling it such suggests there was an intent to deceive people, it may just be an inside joke of some sort. In any event possibly not genuine and as noted previously even if it was it does not warrant inclusion anyway due to the lack of parts this actor has had. Feebtlas 14:30, 24 March 2006 (UTC). Keep. After doing a little research of my own I would like to retract my original post requesting delete and replace it with a keep. I believe that the hoax may actually be on the part of PhiJ, a 'double hoax', if you will. By putting forward a legitimate entry for deletion he may actually be hoaxing us. There is far more evidence that this actor exists than does not. Feebtlas 10:58, 28 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Delete as advertisement. Author has made several good-faith attempts to rewrite the article (see discussion here), but still appears to be promoting the site rather than providing encyclopedic information. No apparent assertion notability other than the belief of the owner that "his company has revolutionised the way Britons buy their glasses".

  • Changing vote to Keep per edits by Sliggy. Bugwit grunt / scribbles 19:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply
  • Strong delete per WP:CORP and nomination (although I think Bugwit is correct to acknoweldge that the author has tried to edit the article in order that it should conform to WP norms [cf., the common conduct of authors here upon finding their advertising/vanity pages nominated for deletion]; whatever may be the improvements to the article, though, the subject remains non-notable). In view of the commendable editing by Sliggy, I'm changing this vote to weak keep. There is always the temptation, when presented with the fact of the existence of articles on similar companies (notwithstanding suggestions that they are distinguishable from the subject of this article), to suggest that those articles be deleted as well, but, in view of WP:CORP, which appears to reflect a consensus, I think this article and the others to which posters allude below is about a notable company.

  • Retain - this article is very simular to many of the articles found on the page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:UK_retail_company_stubs. In particluar the company "Littlewoods" has simular content expressing views, such as "However, Littlewoods' home shopping operation continues to be one of the biggest players in the UK market". I would very much like to keep this aricle. Obviously it is not against Wikipedia policies to give details of companies otherwise there wouldn't be the above category. So please could you (rather than delete the article) give me guidance on what I should remove to make it acceptable? I have now removed the quotation Bugwit gave above Jiff78.

  • I find it quite strange that this article can be found "promotional & unencyclopdic", when there are 20+ others in the category above that have "very" similar content. I would probably agree with you and say delete myself if these articles were also put up for deletion. Could anyone explain to me the difference between them? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jiff78 ( talk • contribs)

Littlewoods was a bad example, take SysWear or Dorothy_Perkins, both these articles (there are many others) seem self promoting to me with little other content. I tried to add notability to my aritcle by giving examples of where Glassesdirect had been in the press (now removed), not just because they have been in the press but because of the reason. My main concern is that my article now, is not that different to the others in the above category, but has been singled out for deletion. I have bought many pairs of glasses from this company and have recently found Wikipedia as a very good resource of information, I wanted to share my cost savings with other people. I am also trying to understand Wikipedia's policies for article writing which currently seem a bit hit & miss. Jiff78

  • Comment - Thank you Sliggy, I have a lot to learn when writing articles for Wikipedia, but this experience has given me a good understanding on how not to do it :) Thanks for you time, it is exactly what I wanted to get across Jiff78

"Garden Walk Buffalo"

Advertisement. Delete. - Mike Rosoft 20:44, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Well, this is my first time posting on Wikipedia, and I apologize for my faux pas. I'm sure that a lot of the content can be changed to make this less "public relations" (it is not advertising), and more "encyclopedia". Please advise as to how this article can be transformed into something acceptable. It's not clear, based upon seeing a lot of the content out on the website, what make this qualify for rejection while others do not.

The purpose of the post was to communicate a significant non-profit cultural event to the Western New York region, and growing outside of this region as well. Tens of thousands of people flock to this area each year, many coming from out of state as well. Its popularity is growing exponentially.

What makes this event unique is that hundreds of Buffalonians formally organize and volunteer every year to put on an event whose sole purpose is to beautify the city, improve its public image, and create a better type of community. It manages to bridge all sorts of socio-economic barriers, and promotes the community improvement of living conditions to areas of the city that need it.

This event is completely about social change, not money. There is no paid staff. Donations go back into the community in the form of beatification grants, which are used to create community gardens and landscaping.

What is confusing about Wikipedia's policy is that there are many things out there that are pure advertising, and have little or no benefit to the community at large. For example, there is a fast-food chain in Buffalo that has it's post out here. See Mighty Taco at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mighty_Taco . This isn't advertising?

I believe this qualifies because it is a relatively unique and popular yearly event. There are other Buffalo events posted on Wik that are similar to Garden Walk - see Allentown Arts Festival ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allentown_Arts_Festival) and Thursday at the Square( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thursday_at_the_Square). Incidentally, these events are more commercial, and do not distinguish themselves in any way from other public events all over the world.

World War II atrocities

Inherently POV article -- Philip Baird Shearer 20:51, 23 March 2006 (UTC) reply

  • Anything can be put in here as an atrocity. For example Hitler and others thought that the binding of prisoners hands by Commandos on Sark and Dieppe raids was an atrocity, so he issued the Commando Order that resulted in a number of war crimes and prosecutions for war crimes after the war. That the commando order resulted in war crime trial with guilty verdicts is documented with reliable and reputable sources, but almost anything which someone at some time thought was an atrocity could end up on this page, because unlike a war crime there is no definition of what constitutes an atrocity in war.
  • There are lots of other pages which cover this area and are subject to some sort of NPOV and can be verified in already been published by reliable and reputable sources. See the list of articles under Nuremberg_Trials#See also. So if this one is removed no useful information on this page will be lost from the Wikipedia project.
  • One further possibility is as there is an Allied war crimes article is to move this one to Axis war crimes which would duplicate information in other lists but would give a central list for disambiguation purposes althought there is a list called List of war crimes which already does this.

  • Strong Keep for more or less the reasons cited by aeropagitica!
    The concept of atrocity is indeed inherently POV (your side commits atrocities, whereas mine takes extreme measures for reasons of operational necessity) ... but that doesn't stop an NPOV article being written, as reportage on the controversy. This article is actually just a list of existing articles, and it's one which a historian would find very useful -- not as an objectively accurate list of atrocities, but as a list of events which are frequently labelled as atrocities. As such, it is a very useful point of entry to the historical and historiographical debates.
    I think it does need an introductory section problematising the concept of "atrocity", but that's an editing issue, not grounds for deletion. -- BrownHairedGirl 00:19, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply
    • At the moment the list includes 3 British air raids and half a dozen American ones. As this was bombing on an industrial scale, if all the air raids throughout the war by both sides are added to this list then it will be huge. If not every air raid then which ones are chosen (Why for example is the bombing of Dresden by the British an atrocity but not the bombing of Dresden by the Americans)? Did you know that there were 262 separate air raids on Cologne alone [49]? It can not argue that some were violations of the law of war (for example because a city was undefended), because the criteria is atrocity not war crime, and some think that all civilian bombing was an atrocity ( Bishop G. Bell for one). As it grows, I don't see how this list can be of any use to anyone as "a very useful point of entry to the historical and historiographical debates". -- Philip Baird Shearer 02:25, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Advertisement for someone's self-published, internet-only, non-notable book. PROD deleted without comment. Note: Apparently not the same content on which we had an AfD already. Sandstein 21:10, 23 March 2006 (UTC) Nomination retracted, has received multiple press coverage per recent additions, borderline notable. Sandstein 09:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Hi there, I wrote this article. I am a student from Montreal (User: Kieranfox though I'm not logged in right now) and met the author at a reading of this book. Arguments for the article: i) the author link is 'false' because I'm not aware of how to create a disambiguation and write a new author article of someone by the same name. ii) The book is not 'internet-only' but is simply available for free ALSO on the internet. I read it in a hard copy signed by the author, so I know. iii) Is the book non-notable? Have you read it? Do you have any arguments for why there is nothing notable about this book or its author? Does the fact that it is his first book make it irrelevant somehow? Please elaborate. iv) This is in no way an 'advertisement', especially considering the book is available entirely for free and no one stands to gain anything financially from this page; and as my 'relationship' to the author is, well, basically nonexistent. He signed my book once a couple years ago. I put the page up merely because the man and the book are fascinating and the information is well synthesized, PUBLISHED and available to anyone interested in reading it. I read over the What Wiki Is page. Isn't that what this site is supposed to be about, cataloguing and elucidating interesting information that has already been published and established elsewhere? Anyway I appreciate your vigilance, in that this might be construed as some crackpot simply advertising his own crap through Wiki, but honestly I would suggest you give the book a read or quick once-over (it is a short and quick read in any case) and then see if you still find its inclusion so abhorrent. Thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 61.7.160.140 ( talk • contribs)

Hello there, and welcome to Wikipedia. In principle, you are quite right about what Wikipedia is - but I also suggest that you take a quick glance at what Wikipedia is not - namely, not a collection of indiscriminate information, or a catalogue of all the books in the world. That means, we only carry information on notable subjects - if we were to have an article on every pamphlet, screed, private thesis or self-published book, Wikipedia would quickly fill with POV cruft, grow unmanageavly large and lose encyclopedic value as a whole.
For this book, this means we need proof that more people than its author (and possibly you) care about it: a wide circulation, a noted scientific impact, substantial press coverage, etc., all through verifiable sources. Hope this helps, and have fun contributing more to Wikipedia! Sandstein 07:15, 24 March 2006 (UTC) reply

Hey Sandstein. Your points are well taken, and I have included links to other press coverage that I could find in online format. I have to question the notion though that more people knowing or talking about a thing gives it more value, or a more deserving place in Wikipedia, though in essence the logic is valid... but one need only take a look at pop culture to see the flaws of this argument. I think that if you really believe it's invalid, I would ask you to read over the book (at least in part), and then decide if it is notable or not, rather than assuming that since mainstream academia has passed it by, you should too. That's all I ask. If after some reading you still think any mention of it should be obliterated here on Wiki, I won't fight with the decision. Thanks. (Kieranfox)

The recently added links indicate that the book has received multiple reviews. With (weak) notability thus established, I retract the nomination and vote Keep. That said, no, I won't look through the book. That would be judging its merit, which is irrelevant to Wikipedia. Only notability is relevant (which is why we have an article on e.g. Mein Kampf).

  • Delete or merge if there is something to merge. Family tree snapshots for every person isn't helpful to the reader. I don't know about the notability of the person, is his only claim that his great-great-(some-amount-of-greats)-grandson was notable? The Abd Shams ibn Abd al-Manaf article itself looks like something that would be more informative in proper context, i.e. a family tree (NOT separate family tree for each person, one family tree).

On close inspection, it appears that this organisation is only active in the University of Adelaide. Contrary to its claims of notability, it is in fact just a university student organisation, and not a very large one at that.

Comment I will likely vote delete, in view of the ostensible non-notability of the subject, but surely the reason given in the nomination is categorically insufficient for deletion. While the creator of a page certainly may make a case for deletion when he/she is the only author, this page has been edited (albeit not substantively) by sundry individuals, and it is not for the creator of the page to determine exclusively and individually its proper disposition. The information on the page does not appear to be OR and does appear to be available elsewhere on the Internet, in view of which fact it doesn't seem at all appropriate to consider whether the author (or subject) of the page desires that the information should be on the Internet.
