The result was merge to Middle East Theatre of World War II. kur ykh 23:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC) reply
I am proposing that this article be deleted as the information contained within, is already covered in detail within other summery articles. In this case both the Mediterranean, Middle East and African theatres of World War II and Middle East Theatre of World War II articles summarise the events that happened in the Middle East geographical area during the World War Two period.
When one consults the Oxford dictionary it states that a military campaign is a “series of military operations intended to achieve an objective in a particular area” ( http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/campaign?view=uk); dictionary.com states something along the same lines: that a campaign is “military operations for a specific objective.”( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/campaign)
Thus as a descriptive name it does fit. This “campaign” was a series of mini-wars, a few bombing raids, and small campaigns launched on one front of a theatre of war; not a separate individual military campaign.
Doing Google searches on the term one finds nothing, when excluding wiki or other websites copying information off the wiki, on this subject so I do not believe it necessary compiles with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions.
To sum up I believe that this is not a common or correct name for the events that took place, I believe the summaries have sufficiently been dealt with elsewhere so that this article is no longer needed and from a historical/military point of view the events that took place were not one single military campaign and each had there own objectives and were loosely related.-- EnigmaMcmxc ( talk) 15:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC) reply

This subject does not warrant an article in Wikipedia.

Note that the subject himself has edited his own page much of the time and the "article" (read: mini-paragraph) portrays him as a legend in the business, which is just absurd.

Fails notability as a chess player; no media coverage indicated other than obituaries. WP:ATHLETE says notability is achieved by competing at the highest level. There is no indication that Baczynskyj ever played in the U.S. (Closed) Championship or in significant international tournaments. He holds the FM title, but we deleted Charles Weldon on grounds of non-notability, and he was a FIDE Master with, as I recall, several state championship titles. For Baczyskyj there is no information beyond the FIDE Master title that is relevant to notability. I see from the USCF obituary that he was editor of Chess Life magazine for two months, but I doubt that is sufficiently notable. I think the consensus among members of WikiProject Chess is that even the higher IM title, without more, is not necessarily enough to confer notability.

NOR violation - the title is a neologism
I have done a considerable amount of research on ethnicity and ethnic groups and have not come across this term. Perhaps predictably, when googling the first four or five entries are for Wikipedia and wikipedia derived articles; it gets only 42f hits. My main concern is that this apparent neologism distorts mainstream social science which agrees that although ethnic groups are usually popularly conceived of as being exclusive, virtually all ethnic boundaries are at times porous. The point is, that the complex relationship and often gulf between peoples beliefs about ethnic groups and the actual history and social dynamics of ethnic groups is a topic which ought to be covered in more depth in the article on Ethnic groups, so as to explain why for social scientists the distinction between "exclusive ethnic groups" and "non-exclusive ethnic groups" is a false distinction and not used by social scientists.
I believe that this article is virtually all original research; the talk page indicates that it was written to express the views of editors. It has had a request for citations template for over one year and no citations have been added in that time. Now it is time to delete it. Slrubenstein | Talk 15:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply
The problem is that this article is collateral damage from the perennially bubbling war about Judaism on Wikipedia, created by one of its participants and propagated to other articles (where it was strongly disputed), rather than a real discussion of ethnic groupings as they are understood by scholars in the field. This really is original research, inasmuch as it is a novel explanation of a subject that really isn't what actual sources on the subject say, or even how they present their discussions of the subject.
This isn't an article in accordance with our policies now, and I don't see any way to refactor it to match actual scholarship when we already have an article on ethnic groups that can be improved by discussion of Barton's definitions, where such discussion belongs. About the best this could be is a redirect, but given that I, like so many editors above, cannot find sources treating this as an actual subject, and only one source even using these words as a phrase, such a redirect doesn't seem worthwhile.

One of the most prominent features of this page is the claim that the subject of the page, a Mr.C.Hamden-White, has an apparent right to use the title 'Sir', indicating that he has at some time been awarded a Britsh Knighthood. After looking into the matter as thoroughly as is reasonably possible I have not been able to fing any evidence of any kind to substantiate this claim nor, it should be added, to the claim that his wife is entitled to be addressed as 'Lady'. In particular, on the web-site of the 'Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery' which would appear to be a bona-fide representative of him in some of his professional work, no claim is made to any such Knighthood either on the page where his name is first presented or on the page giving his 'curriculm vitae'.
Once this aspect of Mr.Hampden-White's identity is removed I cannot see any other substantial reason why the page should be in Wikipedia. It would appear to have been created for the sole purpose of promoting the professional career of its subject.
In addition to this I would suggest that the deletion of this page should go ahead for a related reason. Now that the page has been created, and added to, the name of Mr.Hampden White, complete with its apparently fictitious title, is being posted onto other Wikipedia pages - for example those of both the school and the university which the page claims that he attended. In effect the first Wikipedia page is been used as a source of reference and authority for the others. The fiction is being repeated over and over.

This article describes a method of punching someone. It is not sourced.

Subject is definitely not worthy of its own article.

Listen, I played the game, beat it, learned all i could about Dark Kahn, and you insult my article. Most video game pages have spoilers and people come here to learn, if people want to know about Dark Kahn, they are going to get hit with spoilers because he's only in this one game there is proof and I myself donated a picture to Wikipedia of him. If you don't like the article, it, that's what everyone else does, plus I waited a few days after beating the game to make that article, because no one else did. Riverstinson

The result was merge to Middle East Theatre of World War II. kur ykh 23:37, 10 January 2009 (UTC) reply
I am proposing that this article be deleted as the information contained within, is already covered in detail within other summery articles. In this case both the Mediterranean, Middle East and African theatres of World War II and Middle East Theatre of World War II articles summarise the events that happened in the Middle East geographical area during the World War Two period.
When one consults the Oxford dictionary it states that a military campaign is a “series of military operations intended to achieve an objective in a particular area” ( http://www.askoxford.com/concise_oed/campaign?view=uk); dictionary.com states something along the same lines: that a campaign is “military operations for a specific objective.”( http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/campaign)
Thus as a descriptive name it does fit. This “campaign” was a series of mini-wars, a few bombing raids, and small campaigns launched on one front of a theatre of war; not a separate individual military campaign.
Doing Google searches on the term one finds nothing, when excluding wiki or other websites copying information off the wiki, on this subject so I do not believe it necessary compiles with the Wikipedia:Naming conventions.
To sum up I believe that this is not a common or correct name for the events that took place, I believe the summaries have sufficiently been dealt with elsewhere so that this article is no longer needed and from a historical/military point of view the events that took place were not one single military campaign and each had there own objectives and were loosely related.-- EnigmaMcmxc ( talk) 15:43, 16 December 2008 (UTC) reply

As one of the few fashion editors on wikipedia, normally I'm arguing for inclusion of fashion-related articles here. But this list seems to cross the line into unencyclopedic territory.

I cannot see why a list like this is encyclopedic, and I don't think it should be merged into the parent article (which at most needs to mention a few representative names).

Fails notability as a chess player; no media coverage indicated other than obituaries. WP:ATHLETE says notability is achieved by competing at the highest level. There is no indication that Baczynskyj ever played in the U.S. (Closed) Championship or in significant international tournaments. He holds the FM title, but we deleted Charles Weldon on grounds of non-notability, and he was a FIDE Master with, as I recall, several state championship titles. For Baczyskyj there is no information beyond the FIDE Master title that is relevant to notability. I see from the USCF obituary that he was editor of Chess Life magazine for two months, but I doubt that is sufficiently notable. I think the consensus among members of WikiProject Chess is that even the higher IM title, without more, is not necessarily enough to confer notability.

Kodomo manga/anime is not a notable term in English. The article is a stubborn attempt to needlessly conform with the shōnen and shōjo articles. In reality, Japanese comics aimed at children aren't different enough from children's literature of the rest of the world to merit a distinction.

NOR violation - the title is a neologism
I have done a considerable amount of research on ethnicity and ethnic groups and have not come across this term. Perhaps predictably, when googling the first four or five entries are for Wikipedia and wikipedia derived articles; it gets only 42f hits. My main concern is that this apparent neologism distorts mainstream social science which agrees that although ethnic groups are usually popularly conceived of as being exclusive, virtually all ethnic boundaries are at times porous. The point is, that the complex relationship and often gulf between peoples beliefs about ethnic groups and the actual history and social dynamics of ethnic groups is a topic which ought to be covered in more depth in the article on Ethnic groups, so as to explain why for social scientists the distinction between "exclusive ethnic groups" and "non-exclusive ethnic groups" is a false distinction and not used by social scientists.
I believe that this article is virtually all original research; the talk page indicates that it was written to express the views of editors. It has had a request for citations template for over one year and no citations have been added in that time. Now it is time to delete it. Slrubenstein | Talk 15:52, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply
The problem is that this article is collateral damage from the perennially bubbling war about Judaism on Wikipedia, created by one of its participants and propagated to other articles (where it was strongly disputed), rather than a real discussion of ethnic groupings as they are understood by scholars in the field. This really is original research, inasmuch as it is a novel explanation of a subject that really isn't what actual sources on the subject say, or even how they present their discussions of the subject.
This isn't an article in accordance with our policies now, and I don't see any way to refactor it to match actual scholarship when we already have an article on ethnic groups that can be improved by discussion of Barton's definitions, where such discussion belongs. About the best this could be is a redirect, but given that I, like so many editors above, cannot find sources treating this as an actual subject, and only one source even using these words as a phrase, such a redirect doesn't seem worthwhile.

One of the most prominent features of this page is the claim that the subject of the page, a Mr.C.Hamden-White, has an apparent right to use the title 'Sir', indicating that he has at some time been awarded a Britsh Knighthood. After looking into the matter as thoroughly as is reasonably possible I have not been able to fing any evidence of any kind to substantiate this claim nor, it should be added, to the claim that his wife is entitled to be addressed as 'Lady'. In particular, on the web-site of the 'Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery' which would appear to be a bona-fide representative of him in some of his professional work, no claim is made to any such Knighthood either on the page where his name is first presented or on the page giving his 'curriculm vitae'.
Once this aspect of Mr.Hampden-White's identity is removed I cannot see any other substantial reason why the page should be in Wikipedia. It would appear to have been created for the sole purpose of promoting the professional career of its subject.
In addition to this I would suggest that the deletion of this page should go ahead for a related reason. Now that the page has been created, and added to, the name of Mr.Hampden White, complete with its apparently fictitious title, is being posted onto other Wikipedia pages - for example those of both the school and the university which the page claims that he attended. In effect the first Wikipedia page is been used as a source of reference and authority for the others. The fiction is being repeated over and over.

An article crying out for speedy deletion. This is a dictionary definition, and an unsourced one at that. It may constitute an attack on someone known as 'Roopan'. The article is orphaned and unverifiable. Richard Cavell ( talk) 01:54, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Childish hoax. Borderline vandalism. At best, there are no sources (other than the self-reference). Richard Cavell ( talk) 01:49, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply
The result was redirect to Heckler & Koch HK21. Unsourced (and very badly written) content should not be merged, although this can be done from the history with the respective improvements. Sandstein 20:20, 26 November 2008 (UTC) reply
Um...Unremarkable Gun? No references, "the weapon doesn't have a name" and uses of "unlikely" and generally the writer isn't even sure what the gun is. Dengero ( talk) 01:46, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply

I (think) this is a book, and there is no references, no authors, no directors or artists (if it is a movie). And notability couldn't even be asserted because the name is too common to search for in Google. Dengero ( talk) 01:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Whilst I'm sure this is of interest to the university, there is no claim or indication in the article as to why this construction project (or the final product) is notable. Just being there is not a reason for inclusion in Wikipedia. Nuttah ( talk) 21:18, 16 November 2008 (UTC) reply

This element of the Super Robot Wars series does not establish independent notability. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, this is just made up of unnecessary plot summary, game guide material, and original research. Relevant AfDs include Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Database (Super Robot Wars), Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Arado Balanga, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/AS Soleares/AS Alegrías, and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruach Ganeden.

Another article that demonstrates the need for a speedy deletion criterion 'G13: Some kids mucking around'. This group is not verifiable, and there is no source given for this information.

This appears to be a hoax, or some-kid-mucking-around. Wikipedia has an article on John Forzani, who was born much earlier than this article's subject. The article's content is not verifiable. Richard Cavell ( talk) 00:02, 21 November 2008 (UTC) reply

Unsourced bio. Searching Google for the name alone, or with anthropologist or Burkina Faso throws up nothing relevant. The University of Waterloo search page also returns no results for a supposed professor there. Unless somebody can provide reliable sources, I think this is nothing but a hoax.
