Disputed prod and then an attempt to list at AFD by someone else didn't work. I am trying to fix this. Reason for deletion given was "This article is about a non-notable musician. It's only links are to disambiguation articles on non notable webpages and commercial RP releases. The subject is not notable enough to merit an article and does not meet general Wikipedia notability guidelines. The article does not link to notable sources. The artists has not release any material on any notable record label, publishing house or achieved any record sales or chart success. The article claims that her notability come from her video being banned from Youtube.com. Inappropriate sexual content postings on youtube are not a criteria for a wikipedia article. The article has clearly been created by the artists as self promotion." I agree that it should be deleted, so count this as my delete too. DreamGuy ( talk) 13:45, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I originally nominated this article for deletion in September of last year, with notability concerns. I still have them, particularly as the article has been mostly untouched since the AFD closed (I see two edits that weren't by a bot or a user using popups). The COI, which I was wholly unaware of last time, seems to still be an issue, and that user has exactly three edits since the last AFD closed. He (and others) have had plenty of time to improve the article, and it hasn't been. I just feel that this article really shouldn't be. Nosleep break my slumber 23:29, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

I'm the one that created the article. It's largely based off of GemStone's technical white paper. This paper has some great information on distributed caching in general that I believe adds to the value of wikipedia. It gives an example of a distributed caching solution that fixes the scalability issues most IT architectures have, and how exactly that solution goes about solving them. In my searches on wikipedia I couldn't find any other documents that even attempted providing coverage of this area like mine does. I know there isn't really any unbiased information on the web to counteract the two references found within the document, but that's just the nature of this industry. Along those lines, I will attempt to find some objective links I can throw under an external links header. If there is certain language you'd like me to remove, please let me know. I would really appreciate it if this document was allowed to stand. Thank you for your consideration.

Notability questionable under WP:POLITICIAN. Position on County Board of Supervisors does not confer automatic notability as a legislative position would have, so issue falls on sourcing.

A fourth newspaper source covers the death of his father, and I feel it is insufficient to prove notability as well, as the subject of the article is his father, and the coverage of him is only in that context.

The solution is for editors like Mintrick to not take the lazy way out in the first place, and to address cargo cult writing head on in the article at hand. This may, indeed, involve talk page discussion, which was not done in this case.
The idea, that human knowledge that is merely the perception of "the common" is not human knowledge, is going to impede that process, and Mintrick would do well to lose that attitude. It's just as valid to address the portrayal of something in 20th and 21st century literature and art, based upon sources that make that analysis, as it is to address its portrayal in 19th century literature and art. The correct solution to bad writing is good writing, not taking the lazy way out and sweeping the bad writing under the rug (and then edit warring without discussion when someone reverts that).
There's no reason to keep this fork; it's authorship is not correctly attributed in its edit history; this isn't a title that we need as a redirect; and the correct action for Mintrick to have taken, when xyr erasure from Syrinx was reverted, was discussion on Talk:Syrinx. Indeed, the correct action in the first place was rewriting, so that the article addressed literary and artistic representations properly, not sweeping bad content under the rug at all. (It's worth noting that the content on 19th century representations isn't any better in quality than that on 20th and 21st century representations. That's cargo cult written bad content, too.) The same outcome should happen here as has happened so many times before: Delete. The disagreement over the content in the original article should be discussed on its talk page.

As noted many times throughout the discussion, BLP1E applies to low-profile individuals; Mr. Johnston is far from low-profile. Overall, the arguments in favor of retaining the article are stronger than those in favor of deletion, which at times bordered on WP:IDONTLIKEIT. This may be revisited in a few months, once the dust settles a bit. On a side note, I'm closing this a bit early, as it's clear that the result isn't going to change. – Juliancolton | Talk 00:43, 14 May 2009 (UTC) reply
A redirect which existed in this namespace was deleted due to Rfd. Article was created in same space, then deleted by me as a BLP violation; subsequent discussion on the drv indicates editors would prefer a full afd. From BLP not a tabloid paper from the intro should cover it, but also read Presumption in favor of privacy, and WP:1E: "Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry. Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." Given that this individual was deemed, by Rfd, to be only possibly barely notable enough for a redir if his name remained at Public image of Sarah Palin#Teen pregnancy in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 March 13, he's not notable. Johnston is not 1E, he's 1E once removed, as Bristol is the 1E (no article on her due to 1E as well.) Arbcom has instructed that "Administrators are authorized to use any and all means at their disposal to ensure that every Wikipedia article is in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the biographies of living persons policy. Administrators may use the page protection and deletion tools as they believe to be reasonably necessary to effect compliance." then clearly deletion in a BLP context is an appropriate choice. Those who read the Special enforcement on biographies of living persons linked to will note that appeals to actions taken under that provision are to go through ANI or appeal to the committee; as there is clearly disagreement whether this was a BLP violation or not (as evidenced by the Drv) I waive any such process-wonkery and strongly urge those tempted to indulge in that kind of irrelevant minutia to also ignore that proviso and approach this as a plain vanilla Afd.
Further, as the article made zero claims of notability (I consider calling Johnston a "celebrity father" intensely bad writing, not a claim of notability) it also qualifies under A7. Finally, as a side note, the article is in the space of a redir which had been deleted due to the nn of the subject, it seems unlikely the subject is actually notable enough for an entire article - which contains the date of the child's birth, which has been removed elsewhere as violating privacy of a minor; this makes the article a coatrack for trying to get that irrelevant detail in past those watching the Palin family of articles. The article also highlighted Johnston's "I don't want kids" and "I'm a f - - -in' redneck... Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass" from his MySpace, which he took down the minute the news media found it, which is precisely the kind of thing BLP protects him from having to endure - his old bs comments on MySpace should not haunt him forever, and he clearly doesn't want them public or he wouldn't have taken them down. As an OTRS volunteer, I would certainly remove should someone open a ticket requesting such youthful folly be expunged, as it is not news, not relevant, and is embarrassing. Wikipedia is not a gossip column, with nothing better to do than embarrass people over trivial details of their past. Add it all up, and there is zero reason to have this article on WP and quite a few not to.
My preferred outcome: Delete article, replace with Redirect to Public image of Sarah Palin#Teen pregnancy where Johnston's mention has remained stable. KillerChihuahua ?!? 13:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC) reply

[out] Well, not quite. Rather, I recognize that a number of Wikipedia's guidelines are far divorced from my own sense, and I recognize that I can neither ignore these guidelines nor cheer on while others do so, but instead should (a) work to change the guidelines, (b) find policies that trump them, or (c) cite "IAR", which is something that people should only do after careful thought, and openly. I don't think IAR allows me to interpret WP:NOTE and the like to mean what I think they should mean; rather it allows me to openly acknowledge that they mean something else and to flout them all the same, IFF I have a very good reason. ¶ I'm not aware that covering such talk-show-circuit non-entities will make Wikipedia more like a tabloid gossip column than a serious encyclopedia. I certainly concede that it's fully compatible with making it so, but as long as the write-ups for tabloidy personalities and events are done scrupulously, as this one is, I'm untroubled. ¶ We agree that OTHERCRAPEXISTS is no defense of this article, but EXPRESSLYPERMITTEDCRAPMOUNTAINS might give pause for thought, and I therefore proffer for your consideration the WP:BIO criterion " Is a Playboy Playmate". We read that " As of April 2009, 666 women have been Playmates of the Month." (Christian conspiracy theorists take note of that number!) What this means, as I understand it, is that WP-"notability" is obtained by the mere display of your tits for the center pages of this venerable and fading publication for the male shopper. No other achievement whatever is needed. Just how obscure are these people? Consider the list " Notable Playmates": a typical entry reads briefcase model on Deal or No Deal; contestant on VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. The "Playmate" article tacitly admits that the great majority don't even reach this level of "notability"; ergo, well over five hundred of these people are complete nobodies. Now, does their inclusion harm WP? I don't suppose it does. The typical person arriving to read up on, say, Fibonacci number is I think unlikely to be troubled to learn that the same work of reference/trivia would tell them of Janet Lupo that Family reactions to her appearance in the November 1975 issue were mixed. Her father was very upset about it, but her mother liked it. Eventually, her father did come around, and he became very supportive of her decision. After touring the United States, Canada, and Japan to promote Playboy, Lupo started working as a bartender at a restaurant owned by a friend's husband. (All of which we can anyway flag with "{{fact}}" if we wish.) ¶ Back to Johnston. If, or so far as, you are interested in my own intuitions or beliefs (which I don't think should be a factor), my hunch is that he is actually important to Gov Palin, as Palin repeatedly (endearingly or tiresomely) packaged herself as a "mom" rather than as a stateswoman, driving her brood to hockey matches and otherwise concerning herself about their welfare. She, McCain, her own or McCain's handlers, or the Party, also chose to display the brood, together with Johnston. This may for all I know have been a reluctant concession to a sexist infotainment industry that has little interest in the offspring of male contenders; but whatever the reason, that's the way it was. And however improbable or depressing or silly it may seem, Johnston now has a "media presence". -- Hoary ( talk) 14:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC) tweaked 15:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC) reply

The fact is that the only third party sources exist because the match happened yesterday, and there are no sources to indicate that, unlike the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final, this match will be historically significant in 50 years. – Pee Jay 13:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

There is no record of this feature in any offical Antarctic names gazetteer Polargeo ( talk) 09:35, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply
This stream is not listed by the USGS GNIS antarctic names gazeteer. It is not listed by the more extensive SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica. On googling the only non-wikipedia originating reference to this feature that I can find is the external link given on the article page itself Research on Streams and Lakes in East Antarctica. This external page gives a picture of the feature which has also been added to the article. I suspect that the feature has been confused with Lawson Creek. The list of steams flowing into Lake Bonney does not include this stream but does include Lawson Creek. Polargeo ( talk) 09:47, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Just double checked the article which the info on this stream comes from. It is a blog (okay granted a USGS blog). In the blog they also wrongly name Santa Fe Stream 'Santa Fe Creek'.

Delete If anything, it is the certificate itself that is notable, not the person, see WP:ONEEVENT. There are a few non-bloggy references ( http://www.canesinternational.org/?p=591) but they are trivial in mentioning his name, I see nothing that meets WP:RS that discusses Mr. Dodge outside of earning the certificate. He's not the first "space lawyer", merely the first person to have a certificate in it from a school. Also, has this claim actually been verified? How do we know there are no similar certificates issued in China, for instance? That's why reliable resources that research and fact-check are so important. Something else to ponder: if all of his classmates had received the same certificate instead of a certificate in criminal law, would they be equally notable?

According to this (rough translation here), the "relationship" is what you'd expect - a few visits (which I'm sure some will seize upon to "prove" they're best friends), a few agreements (including the obligatory double taxation avoidance one), two-way trade of $55 million, Pakistan's economy being $504 billion in size and Romania's, $264 billion.

This is license to delete these pages as CSD G6 "Housekeeping", assuming I do not get there first. — harej 11:02, 14 May 2009 (UTC) reply
I'm AfDing all articles in the format "Xth United States Congress - summary" and "Xth United States Congress - state delegations". They are essentially direct copies of "Xth United States Congress" articles, and completely unneeded.
As an example, lets look at 46th United States Congress - state delegations, 46th United States Congress - summary and 46th United States Congress. The two spinoffs are almost identical information with different formatting; the summary is indeed not a summary at all, being around the same size as the central article. The summary contains almost identical information to the main article, almost word for word, while the state delegations article is simply the list of representatives/senators in the main article organised "list of delegates from state X (rep and senator)" rather than "list of senators from state X" "list of representatives from state X". This is meaningless and useless cruft. There is not even any evidence that the creator considers them viable; he as good as admitted that these articles were created as a place he could play with away from an editor he was in a dispute with.
Note to closing admin, if this closes as delete - I've avoided adding them all here because there are about 200 of the damn things. The format is summarised above, and all the articles are found in here, so it shouldn't be too hard to bag them all. Ironholds ( talk) 03:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Having looked through Stilltim's contribution history, the edit history of the first of these articles he created, and of the article it was based on, I just don't find the protestations of having had a substantive distinction credible. The first article created was 50th United States Congress - summary. It had its genesis in a very short dispute at 50th United States Congress. As best I can tell, the only major changes were to revert the inclusion of an infobox and to re-link dates. I am not going to check all the articles, but I am having a lot of trouble believing the assertion that the summary articles were created over a dispute as to content rather than style. Most of his contributions to the main Congress articles have consisted of changing dablinks and other minor changes. The suggestion made, through Gordonrox24, that Stilltim was reverted multiple times before getting frustrated is also hard to swallow.
He was reverted once on each of the articles where he deleted infoboxes and linked dates, but he did not follow up on any of those on any talk page. Moreover, his deletion and link edits were all marked as minor and contained the deceptive edit summary "cleanup". In the end, this behaviour is hard to justify and even harder to understand. It is inconceivable that an editor of such long standing made no attempt whatever to discuss the matter on the talk page of any of the articles involved or the editor who reverted him. The attempt to sneak in his preferred format one last time, in my eyes, detracts from his credibility.
Stilltim's only attempt at an explanation was to User:Ironholds, who seemingly had nothing to do with the dispute. That explanation, here, has a whiff of wp:own about it. In the explanation, Stilltim speaks of another editor "disrupting" his attempts to create consistent format over a period of years. The infoboxes, though, were only added fairly recently and had only been reverted in this recent round of edits. What that shows is that Stilltim is not discussing a pattern of his adding material only to have it deleted. Rather, it shows that Stilltim will revert anything that does not comport with the way he wants the articles to appear. The articles now up for deletion cannot be kept just because not everyone agrees with his vision of how the ordinal Congress articles should look. - Rrius ( talk) 13:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply

The majority. Wikipedia is a farce. It's a numbers website plain and simple. Mob rules. Absolutely no credibility whatsoever, and every needless delete proves the point. "Notable" is subjective. Many "notable" people had articles written in the press before the internet that may have since faded from the public. This is no reason to remove the information from Wikipedia.

"I'd be happy to have, in theory, a good, neutral biography on every single person on the planet," he says. "I mean, why not, right?" — Jimmy Wales in The Wall Street Journal, August 8, 2008.
As a varied, noteworthy and currently active member of Australian and International arts communities, it seemed that an actual page, as opposed to a user bio was appropriate. In my experience and observation, Australian artists are regularly ignored by the media both in Australia and overseas for a multitude of reasons. I didn't think that a supposed encyclopaedia would harbour regional bias.
I am disappointed in User:Who then was a gentleman? for poor and misleading research tactics. It is plainly clear that as an audio engineer I use my real name - "As it's audio engineer, Wilson has"... So using a search for - delboy +"burn the floor" to justify Burn The Floor's apparent lack of credibility is alarming. A search for "burn the floor" is far more revealing in that respect. A search for "burn the floor" +"derek wilson" does not come up with much because as previously stated - "How many sound engineers get mentioned in reviews of shows? It's the nature of audio engineers and other fields of work that are in the "background" of a show."
A search for "Drowning Jester" also show a different set of results.

Our policy: Primary sources that have been reliably published (for example, by a university press or mainstream newspaper) may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. Without a secondary source, a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by a reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages from the novel to describe the plot, but any interpretation of those passages needs a secondary source.

As the creator of the article in question, I would point out that Melnyk did receive additional press mention recently--not by his own intention, but because of several later Episcopal cases analogous to his.

This article is quite the mishmash. First of all, the title is an adjective, which is strong evidence that the article is about a word rather than about a concept (which are almost always expressed as nouns). Second of all, much of the prose portion of this article is about the word itself, rather than the concept underlying it. Third, the discussion of the actual phenomenon of merchandising of licensed characters is covered by Merchandising#Licensing. Finally, the bottom portion of this article is nothing but an unsourced list of properties which one or more unknown editors considered to be "toyetic". In short, this is not a suitable encyclopedic article. Powers T 18:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC) reply

The subject is not notable enough to merit an article and does not meet general Wikipedia notability guidelines. The article does not link to notable sources. The artists has not release any material on any notable record label, publishing house or achieved any record sales or chart success. The article claims that her notability come from her video being banned from Youtube.com. Inappropriate sexual content postings on youtube are not a criteria for a wikipedia article.

I'm the one that created the article. It's largely based off of GemStone's technical white paper. This paper has some great information on distributed caching in general that I believe adds to the value of wikipedia. It gives an example of a distributed caching solution that fixes the scalability issues most IT architectures have, and how exactly that solution goes about solving them. In my searches on wikipedia I couldn't find any other documents that even attempted providing coverage of this area like mine does. I know there isn't really any unbiased information on the web to counteract the two references found within the document, but that's just the nature of this industry. Along those lines, I will attempt to find some objective links I can throw under an external links header. If there is certain language you'd like me to remove, please let me know. I would really appreciate it if this document was allowed to stand. Thank you for your consideration.

The solution is for editors like Mintrick to not take the lazy way out in the first place, and to address cargo cult writing head on in the article at hand. This may, indeed, involve talk page discussion, which was not done in this case.
The idea, that human knowledge that is merely the perception of "the common" is not human knowledge, is going to impede that process, and Mintrick would do well to lose that attitude. It's just as valid to address the portrayal of something in 20th and 21st century literature and art, based upon sources that make that analysis, as it is to address its portrayal in 19th century literature and art. The correct solution to bad writing is good writing, not taking the lazy way out and sweeping the bad writing under the rug (and then edit warring without discussion when someone reverts that).
There's no reason to keep this fork; it's authorship is not correctly attributed in its edit history; this isn't a title that we need as a redirect; and the correct action for Mintrick to have taken, when xyr erasure from Syrinx was reverted, was discussion on Talk:Syrinx. Indeed, the correct action in the first place was rewriting, so that the article addressed literary and artistic representations properly, not sweeping bad content under the rug at all. (It's worth noting that the content on 19th century representations isn't any better in quality than that on 20th and 21st century representations. That's cargo cult written bad content, too.)

A redirect which existed in this namespace was deleted due to Rfd. Article was created in same space, then deleted by me as a BLP violation; subsequent discussion on the drv indicates editors would prefer a full afd. From BLP not a tabloid paper from the intro should cover it, but also read Presumption in favor of privacy, and WP:1E: "Wikipedia is not a newspaper. The bare fact that someone has been in the news does not in itself imply that they should be the subject of an encyclopedia entry. Where a person is mentioned by name in a Wikipedia article about a larger subject, but essentially remains a low-profile individual, we should generally avoid having an article on them." Given that this individual was deemed, by Rfd, to be only possibly barely notable enough for a redir if his name remained at Public image of Sarah Palin#Teen pregnancy in Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2009 March 13, he's not notable. Johnston is not 1E, he's 1E once removed, as Bristol is the 1E (no article on her due to 1E as well.) Arbcom has instructed that "Administrators are authorized to use any and all means at their disposal to ensure that every Wikipedia article is in full compliance with the letter and spirit of the biographies of living persons policy. Administrators may use the page protection and deletion tools as they believe to be reasonably necessary to effect compliance." then clearly deletion in a BLP context is an appropriate choice. Those who read the Special enforcement on biographies of living persons linked to will note that appeals to actions taken under that provision are to go through ANI or appeal to the committee; as there is clearly disagreement whether this was a BLP violation or not (as evidenced by the Drv) I waive any such process-wonkery and strongly urge those tempted to indulge in that kind of irrelevant minutia to also ignore that proviso and approach this as a plain vanilla Afd.
Further, as the article made zero claims of notability (I consider calling Johnston a "celebrity father" intensely bad writing, not a claim of notability) it also qualifies under A7. Finally, as a side note, the article is in the space of a redir which had been deleted due to the nn of the subject, it seems unlikely the subject is actually notable enough for an entire article - which contains the date of the child's birth, which has been removed elsewhere as violating privacy of a minor; this makes the article a coatrack for trying to get that irrelevant detail in past those watching the Palin family of articles. The article also highlighted Johnston's "I don't want kids" and "I'm a f - - -in' redneck... Ya f - - - with me I'll kick [your] ass" from his MySpace, which he took down the minute the news media found it, which is precisely the kind of thing BLP protects him from having to endure - his old bs comments on MySpace should not haunt him forever, and he clearly doesn't want them public or he wouldn't have taken them down. As an OTRS volunteer, I would certainly remove should someone open a ticket requesting such youthful folly be expunged, as it is not news, not relevant, and is embarrassing. Wikipedia is not a gossip column, with nothing better to do than embarrass people over trivial details of their past. Add it all up, and there is zero reason to have this article on WP and quite a few not to.
My preferred outcome: Delete article, replace with Redirect to Public image of Sarah Palin#Teen pregnancy where Johnston's mention has remained stable. KillerChihuahua ?!? 13:41, 9 May 2009 (UTC) reply

[out] Well, not quite. Rather, I recognize that a number of Wikipedia's guidelines are far divorced from my own sense, and I recognize that I can neither ignore these guidelines nor cheer on while others do so, but instead should (a) work to change the guidelines, (b) find policies that trump them, or (c) cite "IAR", which is something that people should only do after careful thought, and openly. I don't think IAR allows me to interpret WP:NOTE and the like to mean what I think they should mean; rather it allows me to openly acknowledge that they mean something else and to flout them all the same, IFF I have a very good reason. ¶ I'm not aware that covering such talk-show-circuit non-entities will make Wikipedia more like a tabloid gossip column than a serious encyclopedia. I certainly concede that it's fully compatible with making it so, but as long as the write-ups for tabloidy personalities and events are done scrupulously, as this one is, I'm untroubled. ¶ We agree that OTHERCRAPEXISTS is no defense of this article, but EXPRESSLYPERMITTEDCRAPMOUNTAINS might give pause for thought, and I therefore proffer for your consideration the WP:BIO criterion " Is a Playboy Playmate". We read that " As of April 2009, 666 women have been Playmates of the Month." (Christian conspiracy theorists take note of that number!) What this means, as I understand it, is that WP-"notability" is obtained by the mere display of your tits for the center pages of this venerable and fading publication for the male shopper. No other achievement whatever is needed. Just how obscure are these people? Consider the list " Notable Playmates": a typical entry reads briefcase model on Deal or No Deal; contestant on VH1's Rock of Love with Bret Michaels. The "Playmate" article tacitly admits that the great majority don't even reach this level of "notability"; ergo, well over five hundred of these people are complete nobodies. Now, does their inclusion harm WP? I don't suppose it does. The typical person arriving to read up on, say, Fibonacci number is I think unlikely to be troubled to learn that the same work of reference/trivia would tell them of Janet Lupo that Family reactions to her appearance in the November 1975 issue were mixed. Her father was very upset about it, but her mother liked it. Eventually, her father did come around, and he became very supportive of her decision. After touring the United States, Canada, and Japan to promote Playboy, Lupo started working as a bartender at a restaurant owned by a friend's husband. (All of which we can anyway flag with "{{fact}}" if we wish.) ¶ Back to Johnston. If, or so far as, you are interested in my own intuitions or beliefs (which I don't think should be a factor), my hunch is that he is actually important to Gov Palin, as Palin repeatedly (endearingly or tiresomely) packaged herself as a "mom" rather than as a stateswoman, driving her brood to hockey matches and otherwise concerning herself about their welfare. She, McCain, her own or McCain's handlers, or the Party, also chose to display the brood, together with Johnston. This may for all I know have been a reluctant concession to a sexist infotainment industry that has little interest in the offspring of male contenders; but whatever the reason, that's the way it was. And however improbable or depressing or silly it may seem, Johnston now has a "media presence". -- Hoary ( talk) 14:24, 13 May 2009 (UTC) tweaked 15:23, 13 May 2009 (UTC) reply

This is also extremely likely to end up being loaded with POV." Reason given for removing PROD was "the "no historical significance" argument carries little weight, speaking from experience at AfD". The fact is that the only third party sources exist because the match happened yesterday, and there are no sources to indicate that, unlike the 1966 FIFA World Cup Final, this match will be historically significant in 50 years. – Pee Jay 13:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

This stream is not listed by the USGS GNIS antarctic names gazeteer. It is not listed by the more extensive SCAR Composite Gazetteer of Antarctica. On googling the only non-wikipedia originating reference to this feature that I can find is the external link given on the article page itself Research on Streams and Lakes in East Antarctica. This external page gives a picture of the feature which has also been added to the article. I suspect that the feature has been confused with Lawson Creek.

He's not the first "space lawyer", merely the first person to have a certificate in it from a school. Also, has this claim actually been verified? How do we know there are no similar certificates issued in China, for instance? That's why reliable resources that research and fact-check are so important.

I'm AfDing all articles in the format "Xth United States Congress - summary" and "Xth United States Congress - state delegations". They are essentially direct copies of "Xth United States Congress" articles, and completely unneeded.
As an example, lets look at 46th United States Congress - state delegations, 46th United States Congress - summary and 46th United States Congress. The two spinoffs are almost identical information with different formatting; the summary is indeed not a summary at all, being around the same size as the central article. The summary contains almost identical information to the main article, almost word for word, while the state delegations article is simply the list of representatives/senators in the main article organised "list of delegates from state X (rep and senator)" rather than "list of senators from state X" "list of representatives from state X". This is meaningless and useless cruft. There is not even any evidence that the creator considers them viable; he as good as admitted that these articles were created as a place he could play with away from an editor he was in a dispute with.
Note to closing admin, if this closes as delete - I've avoided adding them all here because there are about 200 of the damn things. The format is summarised above, and all the articles are found in here, so it shouldn't be too hard to bag them all. Ironholds ( talk) 03:52, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply
Having looked through Stilltim's contribution history, the edit history of the first of these articles he created, and of the article it was based on, I just don't find the protestations of having had a substantive distinction credible. The first article created was 50th United States Congress - summary. It had its genesis in a very short dispute at 50th United States Congress. As best I can tell, the only major changes were to revert the inclusion of an infobox and to re-link dates. I am not going to check all the articles, but I am having a lot of trouble believing the assertion that the summary articles were created over a dispute as to content rather than style. Most of his contributions to the main Congress articles have consisted of changing dablinks and other minor changes. The suggestion made, through Gordonrox24, that Stilltim was reverted multiple times before getting frustrated is also hard to swallow.
He was reverted once on each of the articles where he deleted infoboxes and linked dates, but he did not follow up on any of those on any talk page. Moreover, his deletion and link edits were all marked as minor and contained the deceptive edit summary "cleanup". In the end, this behaviour is hard to justify and even harder to understand. It is inconceivable that an editor of such long standing made no attempt whatever to discuss the matter on the talk page of any of the articles involved or the editor who reverted him. The attempt to sneak in his preferred format one last time, in my eyes, detracts from his credibility.
Stilltim's only attempt at an explanation was to User:Ironholds, who seemingly had nothing to do with the dispute. That explanation, here, has a whiff of wp:own about it. In the explanation, Stilltim speaks of another editor "disrupting" his attempts to create consistent format over a period of years. The infoboxes, though, were only added fairly recently and had only been reverted in this recent round of edits. What that shows is that Stilltim is not discussing a pattern of his adding material only to have it deleted. Rather, it shows that Stilltim will revert anything that does not comport with the way he wants the articles to appear. The articles now up for deletion cannot be kept just because not everyone agrees with his vision of how the ordinal Congress articles should look. - Rrius ( talk) 13:04, 8 May 2009 (UTC) reply

"I'd be happy to have, in theory, a good, neutral biography on every single person on the planet," he says. "I mean, why not, right?" — Jimmy Wales in The Wall Street Journal, August 8, 2008.
As a varied, noteworthy and currently active member of Australian and International arts communities, it seemed that an actual page, as opposed to a user bio was appropriate. In my experience and observation, Australian artists are regularly ignored by the media both in Australia and overseas for a multitude of reasons. I didn't think that a supposed encyclopaedia would harbour regional bias.
I am disappointed in User:Who then was a gentleman? for poor and misleading research tactics. It is plainly clear that as an audio engineer I use my real name - "As it's audio engineer, Wilson has"... So using a search for - delboy +"burn the floor" to justify Burn The Floor's apparent lack of credibility is alarming. A search for "burn the floor" is far more revealing in that respect. A search for "burn the floor" +"derek wilson" does not come up with much because as previously stated - "How many sound engineers get mentioned in reviews of shows? It's the nature of audio engineers and other fields of work that are in the "background" of a show."
A search for "Drowning Jester" also show a different set of results.

Our policy: Primary sources that have been reliably published (for example, by a university press or mainstream newspaper) may be used in Wikipedia, but only with care, because it is easy to misuse them. Any interpretation of primary source material requires a reliable secondary source for that interpretation. Without a secondary source, a primary source may be used only to make descriptive claims, the accuracy of which is verifiable by a reasonable, educated person without specialist knowledge. For example, an article about a novel may cite passages from the novel to describe the plot, but any interpretation of those passages needs a secondary source.

Not notable. The subject is a former Episcopal priest, the author of one novel, and was the subject of a brief bit of news a few years ago when he resigned his orders. The subject himself seems to think he is not notable ( [99]). Tb ( talk) 02:21, 30 April 2009 (UTC) reply
As the creator of the article in question, I would point out that Melnyk did receive additional press mention recently--not by his own intention, but because of several later Episcopal cases analogous to his. I suppose he is keeping a low profile, and have no desire to disturb this. He perceives an effort by conservative Episcopalians to embarrass liberal leaders by drawing attention to stories like this. This strikes me as plausible, but still, I found out about him without looking for him. Dawud ( talk) 12:01, 12 May 2009 (UTC) reply

Although article tries to indicate notability, the only web references to this band or its albums are self-promotion sites such as YouTube and MySpace, or through file sharing sites. MightyWarrior ( talk) 21:00, 23 April 2009 (UTC) reply

Indiscriminate list. Scope is too wide. -- Anna Lincoln ( talk) 08:42, 30 April 2009 (UTC) reply
I created the list. The main list is Category:People from Northumberland (i.e. born or raised there) which is just a long list of names. I wanted to break that list down - which is why I started this. Twiceuponatime ( talk) 08:50, 30 April 2009 (UTC) reply
It may be me misunderstanding what a list is meant to be. I had/have no intention of providing sources for any of the entries. What I wanted to do was make Category:People from Northumberland more helpful i.e. by grouping them by occupation. Note that the list includes all those in the sub categories of People from NBL. Or is there a better way of doing it? p.s. categories won't work - I started with 'Northumberland footballers' and that was immediately Afd'd Twiceuponatime ( talk) 12:53, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

This article is quite the mishmash. First of all, the title is an adjective, which is strong evidence that the article is about a word rather than about a concept (which are almost always expressed as nouns). Second of all, much of the prose portion of this article is about the word itself, rather than the concept underlying it. Third, the discussion of the actual phenomenon of merchandising of licensed characters is covered by Merchandising#Licensing. Finally, the bottom portion of this article is nothing but an unsourced list of properties which one or more unknown editors considered to be "toyetic". In short, this is not a suitable encyclopedic article. Powers T 18:38, 24 April 2009 (UTC) reply
By the way: Here's a quote from the first source (written by Ernest Sternberg, professor at the University of Buffalo), that makes the argument against redirection: "The output of toyetic production need not be merchandise." Uncle G ( talk) 01:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC) reply

The article is simply a mathematical error, as I explained in detail on the article's talk page. It attributes the idea to Milton Loyer (hence the name). Milton Loyer has recanted after reading my explanation on the article's talk page. I waited a long time before listing this for deletion because the creator of the article, Gknauth, after acknowledging the error, said he would replace the content. At first he said he would do this within 24 hours, then in a later exchange of email suggested it would be done soon (less specific). Some time has gone by with no progress on this.
