Kevin Bowen

[edit]

Vanity, borderline nonsense. CDC (talk) 00:20, 12 May 2005 (UTC) Less nonsensical now. CDC (talk) 16:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep - Clearly not a vanity piece, since he didn't write it. (unsigned vote from 68.249.89.128 [1] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • i vote against deletion, this article is informative and true.

-Richard "Lowtax" Kyanka

  • Keep. As for vanity, Kevin Bowen is a relatively well known writer for Something Awful and has been a contributor there for quite a while. As for being nonsense, the article appears to have been vandalised a bit recently. That doesn't merit deletion. R Calvete 01:29, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Keep prolific writer (he also writes for gaming sites), cartoonist, Flash animator, voice actor, etc. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:01, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Like others said, he's not just some random nobody.--DooMDrat 02:29, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Sheesh without context and even sometimes with Indonesia is borderline nonsense I mean what the heck Internet Police--nugz 02:29, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Known SA writer. Nestea 20:31, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - above the bar of notability. Oliver Keenan 20:58, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - Well rooted internet personality and one of the staples of something awful. (unsigned vote from 64.198.233.104 [2] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • keep -well known from something awful. (unsigned vote from 195.92.168.170 [3] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • keep - He's an internet superstar. -GregNorc (talk) 17:40, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - "well known"? It's an internet writer who gets 10x less hits than an ESPN Page 3 writer. Let's all start up pages on every person who writes on the internet. This isn't a vote its a joke, the SA fanboys and gals are banned from discussion. (unsigned vote from 68.77.90.72 [4] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - doesn't seem like much of a vanity piece to me, since it's just a factual entry; other something awful updaters are included on wiki as well, so if he's up for deletion, we should get rid of the rest, as well. (unsigned vote from 172.148.89.73 [5] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - well known from SA. Avertist 23:11, 2005 May 15 (UTC)
  • Keep - perhaps deleting the 'well-known', as anyone outside of SA would probably not recogize him (unsigned vote from AmishCellPhone [6] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • delete - I see SA stuff here all the time its like they're spamming the site. Even in goatse's entry they have something SA related. It's ridiculous, you can't reward spamming. (unsigned vote from 68.77.90.72 [7] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Keep - WHat, so because something is related to SA it's suddenly not worthy of documenting...? --Squirminator2k 08:37, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - come on guys, nobody wants to read this (unsigned vote from Sean Heron [8] R Calvete 21:26, 2005 May 16 (UTC))
  • Delete, or maybe merge with Something Awful. →Iñgōlemo← talk 03:06, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Keep - Fragmaster is known for more than his SA contributions, and has written for other popular websites such as those he worked for on the Gamespy Network. - Shitties
  • Delete, in agreement with →Iñgōlemo← and 68.77.90.72. Ctz 22:32, 17 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

At The Hip

[edit]

Information here sounds very dubious. Contributor claims that the information is based on "inside industry information" that he cannot verify. Thus it is either false or unencyclopedaic. — Adam Conover † 00:44, May 12, 2005 (UTC) (Read the entry on Abigail and Brittany Hensel for insight into why the information in this article is highly dubious.) — Adam Conover † 00:56, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep. User:Mindspillage was actually the one who passed the judgment, but did not close the debate, so it is now done. For the record there were 21 to delete and 11 to keep, one delete vote short of a two thirds majority. Sjakkalle 13:50, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lindsay Ashford

[edit]

This trash is non-notable and disgusting. DELETE! Stancel 00:55, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • I vote KEEP! This man is so brave to put himself in a position of being burned at the stake for his beliefs, and his position that all humans - even pedophiles - have basic human rights. Anyone voting to delete this page is against liberty. - Kaliko Kat (By the way, I have an account, kalikokat, but I do not know how to post replies here.) By the way, I had this account for a half a month before posting this vote here, so it is not a sock puppet vote.
  • Whether the article is notable or not, "disgusting" is not a criteria for removing something from Wikipedia. I'm going to abstain for now. --FCYTravis 01:29, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Whatever you think of Ashford and his "self-identified pedophilia", you can't get away from the fact that he's a well-known individual. That fact that he disgusts most people actually adds to notability. ---Isaac R 01:49, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Disgusting-ness is not a deletion criteria. It's not our place as editors to judge this fellow's activities or interests. We have articles on the Holocaust and plenty of other unpleasant subjects. However, it seems to me that the subject and author user:Zanthalon are the same person, which makes this vanity. Delete and if the notability is genuine, let someone else write the article. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:56, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Abstain. Delete. "Disgusting" is not a valid criterion for deletion. I only get ~200 unique Google hits for "lindsay ashford", not all relevant, some of which being Wikipedia links, so I'm not convinced of the subject's notability. However, I'm not sure I want to continue researching this subject, so I will abstain for now. Not notable, self-promotion. Change vote. android↔talk 21:55, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikispam. But agree that disgust etc is not a valid criterion for deletion; Wikipedia is not censored. So if the article is rewritten to establish notability, I'll change my vote. Andrewa 02:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Just by judging the current revision and the top 5 search page results for "Lindsay Ashford," the article doesn't really establish notability. Getting many results for a British author [10] than the pedophile. --Chill Pill Bill 03:56, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per the delete votes; maybe new information could convince me of sufficient notability per the abstain votes, but it's been well edited and is about a Wikipedian so I wouldn't expect much. Samaritan 04:38, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the article on current subject but I would vote to keep an article on the British author identified by Chill Pill Bill. Capitalistroadster 05:00, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 07:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Disgusting or not, he's not notable. --Angr/comhrá 09:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Abstain. The guy may be disgusting, but he's known and therefore relatively notable, though I don't go much on the quality of the article itself - very biased and badly written. Jamyskis 12:43, 12 May 2005 (GMT)
    • But is he known? Not much that I can see. Just 776 web hits for lindsay-ashford, many or most of which seem to be for the British female author of that name Chill Pill Bill mentioned. He was interviewed in a local newspaper in New Jersey, not really for anything he did uniquely but as an example of a pedophile. It identified him as an unemployed business consultant. The other claim to being known is his website, relatively low-Alexa especially given, I imagine, the subject. :l Samaritan 14:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete when I tried a search I mostly got links to the British woman crime writer of the same name, which suggests this person is not notable. A notorious paedophile should be included. PatGallacher 14:15, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Delete — Doesn't appear to be a notable person. — RJH 15:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong Delete - primarily because he's not a notable person. Secondly because I don't feel that W/P should contribute to his attempts to become famous. Oliver Keenan 21:01, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete not notable - but if he was? Is it morally permissible to risk facillitating the networking of such people - and hide behind an accademic NPOV policy? "It's not our place as editors to judge this fellow's activities" - perhaps not, but I'm afraid then I'd have to be a father first and an editor second. --Doc Glasgow 21:13, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Not notable. Jayjg (talk) 21:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Unencyclopedic, soap-boxish, not notable, and blatant self promotion via User:Zanthalon. Yeah, as an obvious aside, it's pretty damned sick, too. --Jeffrey O. Gustafson 19:00, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Hedley 16:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC) Abstain because theres 700+ google results for "Lindsay Ashford", however as CryptoDerk points out below theres only 37 unique websites for a reasonable search term. I agree with IRC discussion that there is voting here simply on disagreement with the subject. Hedley 17:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and perhaps rewrite googling the name seems to establish notoriety. The subject could be quite interesting if made properly NPOV, the article appears to be heading in that general direction (it's not a complete POV soapbox). I am disappointed of the votes by wikipedians here.... Will you be putting Adolf Hitler up for VFD next? --Gmaxwell 16:53, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and rewrite. Abstain It's not our job to be a moral judge for the world. We simply need to establish facts. Inclusion on wikipedia is in no way an endorsement. A general look around seems to establish noteriety, and also linked to by a number of wiki articles. I am uncertain about notability, once we remove the mists of moral anger...--Fangz 16:49, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. "Lindsay Ashford" pedophile -wikipedia -encyclopedia returns 37 unique websites. CryptoDerk 17:00, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep why does people want to delete an article about subjects they are uncomfortably with? The world won't change if you just ignore its revolting parts. -- Wegge 17:02, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep He's disgusting, but there appears to be enough verifiable information about him for an NPOV article. Icky isn't grounds for deletion. Jon the Geek 17:05, May 15, 2005 (UTC)
So being important to a small, tightnit group of pedophiles makes someone notable?--Heathcliff 02:13, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
No. Being (very) notable to a "small, tight[k]nit group" which is itself very notable gives him encyclopedic importance. Compare David Thorstad from NAMBLA. (I'll link Childlove here for general reference.)
I really don't think that's what it means to be notable. I'm not suggesting a person has to be known all over the world, but if he's only signifincant within a small movement like "childlove" then perhaps he warrants a mention on that page, but not his own article.--Heathcliff 02:54, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: this page has been visited by 1.05 out of a million users on the internet ([11]). I'm really not interested in an article on a guy whose page hits are literally one out of a million. →Iñgōlemo← talk 23:14, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Abstain from processing. I was about to process this, but we have to look at consensus, not mere numbers. I count 20 delete votes plus nominator, eight keep votes, and four abstentions. Disgusting is not a criteria for deletion, far from it - however, being disgusting does not make you notable by default. Also, even if his website is notable - which has not been shown - that does not make the creator of the website notable. If the notability of the subject is only due to his pedophilia, and if his website is not similarly notable, then delete is the only option. However, he may be notable within the movement - and since we have articles on the movement, then the movement is sufficiently notable. I do not know, and the vote was not unanimous, though it was obviously tilted towards delete. So I abstain from picking an outcome to this debate. Too close to call between "err towards keep" and "consensus to delete". I suggest the debate be extended. --Golbez 18:06, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • If your concern is that editors are voting to delete out of disgust rather than for valid reasons, I think it is misplaced; IMHO, only two delete votes focus more on "disgusting" than "not notable" or "self-promotion" (that is, the original nominator's vote, and perhaps Doc Glasgow's). Also, I submit that, even though 24.17.5.50 suggests that the subject is notable, the subject is not verifiably so through the private emails, etc., that he cites. The Google Test, for what it's worth, points to "not notable," and I don't feel the lone newspaper interview is an indication of significant notability. The self-promotion aspect concerns me greatly, as well. I don't have a problem with an extended debate, but I think the correct course of action is pretty clear in this case. android↔talk 22:20, May 18, 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't see how it can be said there is not a consensus with the vote being 20 to 8 in favor of deletion. Also it is unfair in my opinon, to discount a vote because the voter expressed disgust. Yes it's possible that their opinion was tainted by their disgust, but it's also possible that their disgust did not influence their vote. Some people expressed disgust and voted "keep". Do we assume that their disgust influenced their vote? Can we therefore automatically assume that those who voted "delete" where influenced by their own disgust?--Heathcliff 02:50, 19 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep as per Gmaxwell. —Markaci 2005-05-21 T 16:19 Z
  • Keep, he seems fairly well-known in child-love circles, and the notability test should be used against "Eileen Jacobson goes to River High and has a crush on Jason Fox...", not actual people of moderate note — (Sherurcij forgot to sign.)
    • Uh, what? Why should the standards be lowered for this particular subject? AиDя01DTALK 05:00, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

  • Agree with the userfication. Samaritan 17:33, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • I'm the creator of this quiz. I understand your objections. I published this quiz-experiment in Wikipedia, as there is no other wiki-project harboring quizzes up to now. My main objective of this publication was to try to start some creative exchange of ideas on adding quizzes to Wikipedia and creating a quiz template. By the way, could somebody explain to me what is meant by "userfication" and "userfy"? Fortinbras 18:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Sure. First, to see what's happened, click the above pagelink now (post-userfying) and then click the redirected link. The info in this article has been moved to a sub-page of your User page. (It would be a little clearer if you had something written on your User page.) This has been done as a polite way of saying, "Interesting idea, but not Wikipedia material." Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not just a community, so quizzes aren't really appropriate here, but should a wiki-project about quizzes be created, this would be a good addition. Moving the info to part of your User area allows you to keep it and work on it until you find someplace more appropriate to put it. Hope this helps. Soundguy99 19:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

HK MP5-E0D

Technophile

[edit]

Article makes some rude, ignorant, and subjective observations about technophiles, with a strong suggestion that they suffer from a form of mental illness. Soapbox, original research, just plain dumb. ---Isaac R 03:28, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep: Not necessarily biased; your definition may be of someone who explores technology as a hobby, whereas this definition defines it as an obsession that interferes with daily life. Just because you don't agree with this definition doesn't mean it's wrong. Give it a lighter definition if you see fit. CP 0335, 12 May 2005 (UTC)
    • If it were just a definition, there wouldn't be an issue -- we'd just transwiki it over to Wiktionary:. But it's not a definition, it pretends to document a mental condition that isn't widely recognized. ---Isaac R 03:40, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. A good definition already exists in Wiktionary, and this is rather odd original research/soapboxing. android↔talk 04:25, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and allow for organic growth. Klonimus 06:50, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, and expand. Megan1967 07:17, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Congrats, You have been doing great service by your delete votes, as I find there lies your main contribution to wikipedia. I would love to see you expanding at least few words of this article so as to give inspiration to others to come forward. Thanks in advance.--MissingLinks 06:36, 15 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Highly POV as it is, and I can't imagine a legitimate definition being more than a wiktionary candidate of "one who loves technology." Postdlf 07:21, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • This is a dicdef plus some speculation. Delete, replace with redirect to Geek. Radiant_* 09:21, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, soapbox, original research. --Angr/comhrá 09:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but get rid of the anti-tech bias. Jamyskis 15:37, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • User has ~40 edits
      • Based on a limited sampling, user has made 40+ useful edits, including many rational votes to various articles on VfD. IMO, this isn't our typical low-edit VfD voter, and as such, his/her vote(s) should probably not be discounted. android↔talk 17:06, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete and redirect per Radiant. Anything that isn't dicdef in that article at this time looks like conjecture and essay to me. Willing to change vote if any real research or reference material is added to show that it is a real condition rather than an adjective. --Unfocused 14:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • "Technophilia" is definitely not an officially recognized mental disorder. Individual mental health professionals might consider it as a valid diagnosis, but I've never heard of any doing that. The assertion that it is a disorder certainly shouldn't stand without reference to mental health literature.---Isaac R 15:40, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • I could even see keeping it if it's proposed as an officially recognized disorder in a verifiable way, or by someone prominent in the mental health field. --Unfocused 16:46, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
        • I completely agree -- all mental conditions that have any kind of professional or official recognition deserve Wikipedia space. But a non-professional's opinion that something is a mental condition does not. ---Isaac R 16:57, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but re-write to make it informative. It needs work. Sunray 18:31, 2005 May 12 (UTC)
  • Comment. Compare this article with Emo kid. ---Isaac R 18:47, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep and re-write. Eixo 22:28, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. No evidence that this is accepted psychology terminology. Quale 18:07, 16 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Transwiki to wiktionary and merge what useful information there is with geek. This is obviously a legitimate word, but it is suitable only as a dictdef. The article describes the stereotypical nerd or geek, so what useful information is in it should be merged there. →Iñgōlemo← talk 23:25, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
  • Note: this is already at Wiktionary, and this isn't any better than that definition. --Dmcdevit 23:15, 18 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Zero google hits...hilarious - Rift14

Care to argue with this search? RickK 18:12, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

All the more reason that Wikipedia needs it. Check the reference. Patrick0101

  • Wikipedia is not here to popularize unknown expressions. RickK 06:50, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikipedia is a reference for lore, arcane and other. This was used in a popular movie and I had to do some digging to find out what it meant. I didn’t just make it up. I was hoping to document it here so the next guy can find it. Patrick0101
    • Wikipedia is a reference for lore, arcane and other, no, it is not. This is not a place for neologisms and for attempts at public relations for new ideas, unknown people, undocumented phrases. RickK 18:12, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment. Nobody's trying to bite you, Patrick0101, (or at least not very hard); the issue is that the general consensus is that Wikipedia is not interested in slang that doesn't have much of a history. You said you had to do some "digging" to find out what it meant - where did you dig? What did you find? If you could add some of this info to the article and convince editors that this phrase has been used pretty extensively (somewhere besides one movie), the article might be kept. If you do expand the article, you should mention it here, and it helps if you add "Rewrite" to your comment. Soundguy99 19:32, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

False statement

[edit]

Delete- This article is political, not informational. While the concept of a "false statement" in formal logic does deserve to be addressed in an encyclopedia, this article does nothing to enhance our understanding of logical falseness.

Unsigned comment above from 203.26.206.130, article author. -- Longhair | Talk 13:07, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Please see Joe Vialls for evidence that supports all of my claims. They are consistent with highly popular conspiracy theories and with available evidence. I shall endeavour to present these in a better way next time. My apologies. I am new to this.

Oh and feel free to delete these pages. Please do. I'd rather get some help with presenting them properly than be branded as a "troll" or some nonsense just because I'm trying to help with factual evidence.

By the way, your Martin Bryant and Port Arthur massacre articles are highly inconsistent with available evidence, especially with regards to such things as him pleading guilty - which he never did. Your own sources as quoted on the pages prove that you've got it wrong there. You also should include that he was diagnosed with schizophrenia and before the trial was diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, both diagnoses which were later changed. Asperger's Syndrome as you know, is one which would see someone be fit to stand trial, and hence it is very relevant that he was suddenly diagnosed with it, when in fact he never had it in the first place.

If this is supposed to be accurate, then you have to at least be prepared to accept such changes as those ones, even if you do dismiss what you call "conspiracy theories".

  • All the non-conspiracy-theory sites that I can find, including news sites and Australian Hansard, have him at first protesting his innocence, then pleading quilty. I've got to say that the conspiracy theory sites have a strong feeling of tinfoil hat about them. -- The Anome 14:43, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

Krok

[edit]

Apparent hoax; English-language search on Yahoo! reveals zero hits for Conolocus, and only three hits (none of them relevant) for Hittite+Krok. Delete unless someone can confirm content from a printed source. JamesMLane 13:16, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

see: "The major historical texts of early Hittite history" by Trevor Bryce

I'm going to have to agree with James on the delete, although I won't deny that there seems to be information that bears in light for the OP. For example, there's [19], which lists an asteroid named after Krok, (Asteroid 3102Krok) a scheme usually used for minor deities. However, I just spent some time on Google and came up with nothing aside from that. Additionally, the Encyclopedia Mythica turns up nothing (no surprise there, since that's not the best kept database, IMHO). This is going to need a lot more evidence to be a keeper. --Mitsukai 13:36, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete this has the whiff of a hoax, for reasons several of which will be spotted by some people. I will add one, that the Hittite archaeological remains are in modern Turkey, a slab found in Hebron seems fishy, a vague echo of the Hebrew Bible mentioning the patriarchs buying some land in Hebron from the Hittites, but I'm not aware of any archaeological evidence that the Hittites were in Hebron. PatGallacher 14:33, 2005 May 12 (UTC)

Delete. A topic as specific as this needs citation, this article has none. EvilPhoenix

Delete. I did a quick scan of the indices to 3 books I own about the Hittites (Harry A. Hoffner, Hittite Myths; Gary Beckman, Hittite Diplomatic Texts; & Trevor Bryce, The Kingdom of the Hittites), & not one refers to such a deity. (At this point, it's not worth it to me to go downstairs & also check my copy of ANET.) BTW, I took a class on the Hittite language in college, & based on my memory of that class alone, I'd attest that "Krok" is not close to being a Hittite name, divine or otherwise. -- llywrch 00:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete, hoax. Llywrch is right, it's not even a possible Hittite word. --Angr/comhrá 05:47, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • I've been here more than a year and I can still be amazed at this place. I listed this article for deletion because it seemed a little off and I couldn't verify it. That simple listing prompted this incredible amount of research and comment by people who've studied the Hittites, who have relevant texts ready to hand, and find suspicious points based on the nature of the word, the stated location of the find, etc. I had no clue as to any of this. It's too bad that some jerk's casual hoax article wasted so much of the time of sincere editors, but there's a silver lining: We see another example of Wikipower.

Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary

[edit]

Hopefully this is a no-brainer not deserving the space and attention needed to present my complex evidence on the, arguably, bad faith I think the article was created in. I present several reasons why this page does not deserve its Wikipedia space:

(1) Accuracy dispute. I could not find a source that specifies the existence of the school (at least under the name "Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary"). The burden of proving the existence of such a school should be on the article's creator, not me, though. Online searches show no results under this name...which merits the suspicion, that even if such a school did exist under this name, it was so non-notable that it isn't cited in any documents by anyone these days.

(2) To begin with, there is no source that specifies Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary as the actual name of a school in Delaware, Ohio at that time! This violates the rationale for pages not to be "too secret" (i.e. "Secret societies are unverifiable and often non-notable". Wikipedia articles must be verifiable. Almost by definition, the world cannot verify things about secret societies). This is not a "secret society" per se, but the existence of the school should be verifiable through paper or online sources.

(3) The article was created by a user user:Stude62 who had created several other articles that violate, or are on the border of vilaoting, the vanity policy of Wikipedia ("vanity" is a shorthand for "This page is about a person, institution, or organization who Wikipedia's guidelines suggest does not merit an article"). On his user page he states of recent times find myself up to my eyeballs in Methodist Episcopal Church history (my gr gr gr great grandfather was an M.E. circuit preacher in central Ohio) and defending it from those who should know better, but are too wrapped up in their own feelings and perceptions to know any different.

Several other article created by the same user are Monnett Weekend, Orra E. Monnette Mary Monnett Bain Monnett Hall and Monnett Bain Davis. All of them debatably non-notable and written with the sole purpose to "defending it from those who should know better". The Monnett Weekend page was recently listed on VfD and removed. The article listed on here honor the exact same topic and should be removed as well.

(4) There is a separate page about the real name of the institution at the time: Ohio Wesleyan Female College which no longer exists but is nevertheless legit. I suggest that some of the information be moved to that page as it was the official name of the female college.

(5) This is a "POV fork". Debatably the most notable part of the article is about Mary Monnett Bain. That article already presents the arguably "notable" part on there.

(6) Several Wesleyan alumni have agreed that such a name Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary is not notable even among the Ohio Wesleyan University "family".

(7) Finally, one can argue that Mary Monnett Bain is arguably worthy an article herself vilating notability ("non-notable" or "nn" are shorthands for "Something that (the voter thinks) is unimportant due to its obscurity or lack of differentiation from others of its type"). There was a separate VfD on that article but it is not the objec of this VfD.

If the article is related to something more common or well-known like the Ohio Wesleyan Female College, consider merging it with that.

My job is done here.

Patnaik 16:52, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep to confirm details. Monnett Hall, Monnett Weekend and Mary Monnett Bain all check out in external sources. The entry on Leroy A. Belt on the official history page of Ohio Northern University, here, says he "served as financial agent for Monnett Hall, an independent women's academy, which merged with Ohio Wesleyan in 1877." So you're alleging this article that centrally claims the quickly provable fact that Monnett Hall, an independent women's institution, merged into Ohio Wesleyan University is "bad faith?" The only things that would need further research are whether Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary was a name or the formal name of Monett Hall. There's no comprehensive information about historical schools on the web, but this obviously could be referenced with printed sources in libraries and maybe even an historical plaque onsite. Patnaik, what is your "complex evidence" of bad faith? Btw, the article is by the apparently credible User:Stude62. Samaritan 15:28, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. Fascinating article, fascinating topic. That's assuming the current article is accurate, but that hasn't been questioned above. So I'm very puzzled as to why it's listed for deletion. Please, someone explain. Andrewa 15:37, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • For the record, can anyone point to a source that this is the actual name? How is it possible not to find a single source? The real name is Ohio Wesleyan Female College. There is a separate page about that one that is legit. Patnaik 16:51, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
              • Ironically, do you think your "this VfD nomination was made in bad faith" violates your informal MWOT principle of "minimise waste of time and not get distracted into debates that have no bearing on the goal"? Patnaik 21:34, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. There may be some issues with the article that need resolution, citation, and verification, but I don't think it's worth deleting at this point. EvilPhoenix

Thanks, and thank you for your Votes to Keep the Article

[edit]

I've dropped back in for a moment and would like to thank all for voted to keep the article, as well as those who voted against it as an impartial act. I have kept out of this debate because I had become very disilluioned about Wikipedia and group of user. This vote has redeemed that faith.

I would like to thank those who have called others on their bad faith action against me and this article.

This matter could have been settled from the very beginning had certain Wikipedian's allowed primary, factual information held in the OWU archives to stand. They did not. I also suspect that a number of users whose only activity exists to manipulate the information regarding OWU have chimed in on this VFD; their trails can be viewed through their account history.

I also call to question any Wikipedian claiming to have attended OWU who has not heard of Mary Monnett Bain, Monnett Hall or the Ohio Womens Methodist Seminary. To think that they could have spent meaningful time on the OWU campus and have no historical background on the University seems very strange. To any uninvolved party who is a legitimate Wikipedian, not a shill or sock puppet, - this information may be verified through the Archives of Ohio United Methodism which are held at OWU.

Wikipedia should be about correct information, not something that is simply a validation of Google, or other web sites. Wikipedians who think that Google, Yahoo and other high level web sites are the only acceptible sources for information will undermine not only the sharing and growth of information, but will also doom Wikipedia to nothing greater than a parrot for web based knowledge.

I count 6 clear "delete" votes and 3 clear "keep" votes. I further note that the article is a stub which has not been expanded either during the discussion period or since (somewhat supporting the arguments that it may not be possible to expand into a real article) and that the article is an orphan.

Medallion Guitars

[edit]

One of about 100,000 short-lived non-notable companies/brand names producing cheapo knock-offs of popular guitars. Article states "no info available", confirmed by various online searches, unverifiable. Delete Soundguy99 18:41, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete.EvilPhoenix
  • Keep musical-instrument companies. And it does seem to be verifiable. Probably takes its name from the rare Medallion line of Gibson guitars in the early 70s (such as the Madallion Flying V), which had actual medallions screwed into them. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:47, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. FWIW, the creator of the article was User:Ecb29, who says his name is "Elliott" on his talk page, and the above link is to an open DIY guitar gear review site, and the reviewer of the guitar listed there is also "Elliott." Plus, compare the description from Harmony Central with the article. I believe at this point we have verified the existence of one (1) actual Medallion guitar. I certainly don't mean to imply that User:Ecb29 is gaming the system or being irresponsible or anything- he seems like a swell & useful editor on a lot of topics. I'm just saying that I can't find any info about this apparently defunct company, so I doubt that an encyclopedic article can be written. I don't think the Gibson Medallion guitars were known enough for a seperate article, either; info on those can remain a section of the Gibson article. Soundguy99 21:44, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
      • There's at least one more. Who knows, maybe they only made a few of them. In any case, considering that every guitar is a collectible guitar, I'd say that even relatively obscure brands should at least get an article. It even has a picture! Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:57, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, it's certainly verifiable, although probably rare. The only other place I can find the brand *online* is [22], but since the company probably went out of business before the advent of the web, you won't find anything in Google except the HC page which I wrote some years ago. My father remembers this brand of guitars in the 70s. Elliott C. Bäck 22:19, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, non-notable guitar company. Let's not have articles on every company that has ever existed just because they're verifiable. RickK 23:53, May 12, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.

The arguments are about equally split between "delete" (with the dominant argument being that it's already in Wiktionary) and "keep" - that it is expandable. Noting that the article was not expanded during the discussion period nor since and that the current version remains a mere dictionary definition (something explicitly listed on What Wikipedia is not), I am going to exercise my discretion to override the strict vote count and delete this version. This decision should not be considered precedent if the article is recreated as a substantial and encyclopedic article on the topic. Rossami (talk) 23:17, 26 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I believe this article should be deleted, because the first few sentences (and therefore the first half) contain the same information as the J.K. Rowling article.

Juan Galvan

[edit]

This seems to be a vanity page created by Juan Galvan himself, who is editing as JuanMuslim. This article doesn't have the potential to become encyclopedic because of the lack of independent, credible published sources. I've corresponded by e-mail with Juan to try to find out whether there are sources out there, or whether he's published something himself in a regular newspaper or similar, but he has referred me only to short commentary pieces on websites.

  • Userfy or Keep--Juan Galvan 17 May 2005. Since the first day I posted the entry about myself, I have been replying to SlimVirgin's emails. All of which I have promply replied to. I do believe that I have provided sufficient references etc. I sincerely believe that I am undergoing more scrutiny than a Christian with my credentials because I am a Muslim. I have also added a criticisms section to my Juan Galvan entry, and I welcome anyone to edit the entry as they feel is necessary. This is what I wrote to SlimVirgin regarding changes to my entry: "As for the entry to Juan Galvan, I think it is fine as well. I'll take a at it again. You're free to edit that entry as well."

In her most recent posting on my user page, she requested I send her a link to the article in which I was quoted by the NY Times. She submitted my page for possible deletion within three hours after her request without providing me sufficient time to reply to her request. http://hispanicmuslims.com/articles/newminority.html

For example, I know Yusuf Estes who is listed and he knows me but how many non-Muslims know of us? He hasn't written a book nor intends to do so. He is not a 'public figure' nor a journalist.

Thank you for your help. I've added three website links at the bottom of the article along with a statement saying "Written from an Islamic perspective."

Most of everything on en.wikipedia.org is written from a Christian or American point of view even though not intentionally. You can help edit the article on Virgin Mary in Islam as needed. I include several references to Quran as needed to give a larger view of the Muslim perspective. I think my article is fine the way it is.

As for the entry to Juan Galvan, I think it is fine as well. I'll take a at it again. You're free to edit that entry as well. Juan Galvan is the most well-known and respected Latino Muslim in the U.S. http://latinodawah.org/works/jjgalvan.html

Juan Galvan's entry is no different than other entries found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Muslims

The Juan Galvan entry is modeled after the following: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irshad_Manji http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Farakhan

  • Comment -- Juan Galvan | (talk) 23 May 2005. Most Muslims would argue whether these two people are Muslims. Believing or saying crazy things doesn't give a person credentials. So most Muslims would argue that they should not be listed. Most well-known, accomplished Muslims are simply not listed, because they aren't very vocal or crazy. Radical groups such as the Nation of Islam and Taliban are listed but mainstream Muslim organizations, such as ISNA or ICNA, are not. I plan to help in that regard. And as for those who included in theList_of_Muslims, you simply cannot judge by your own standards because most Muslims who are listed are unrecognized by non-Muslims. I want the entry on Juan Galvan userfied. Posted by User:JuanMuslim
    • Juan, I changed your vote above to a comment, as you've already voted. If you'd like the page to be moved to your user page, I can do that for you; or if you'd like a new user subpage for it, I can do that too. If you want a new subpage, you'll have to say what name you'd like for it. It could be User:JuanMuslim/Juan Galvan; or User:JuanMuslim/bio, or something like that.

Spiritual marriage

[edit]

Hoax. famous german proverb by an 18th century philosopher, "kcuf snaibsel hctaw," which is translated as the passion of God. 'nuff said. Rl 20:24, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Read the "proverb" backwards. EvilPhoenix

  • Keep and Stubify or Cleanup based on the content of the current article. There's clearly an encyclopedia article to be had there. For example, here is a reference from googling this phrase: Spiritual Marriage: Sexual Abstinence in Medieval Wedlock by Elliot, D., published by Princeton University Press--Unfocused 20:53, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nonsense: try reading the name of that supposed 18th-century philosopher backward... Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 20:57, May 12, 2005 (UTC)
  • strong keep (as now cleaned up) this idea has a long history in early Christian and gnostic groups and - and even before that. (I don't know that limiting the discussion to Catholicism is particularly appropriate)--Doc Glasgow 21:23, 12 May 2005 (UTC) On reflection, although this merits an article - this isn't at all a good start - total rewrite or delete--Doc Glasgow 21:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Before it was a hoax, now it's just POV. Jayjg (talk) 21:57, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. It isn't point of view, it's a church doctrine. I know because I was raised Catholic, in a Catholic school, with years of Catholic religion classes. It was taught extensively. I don't intend to further expand this article because that's a part of my own life I've decided to leave behind, and I have no interest in researching and documenting this further. Given that this was subject of a vandalistic start, I see why it was nominated, but I think I've done the basic research to show that the topic itself clearly belongs. Valid Wikipedia topics should not be stained by the juvenile behavior of early editors. --Unfocused 23:10, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. It seems this is something. Isn't the term also used when a nun, by taking her vows, becomes the bride of Christ? Eixo 23:18, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. Yes, this is true. The church itself and every nun are considered to be "Brides of Christ" in spiritual marriage. Funny how there aren't any husbands...  ;) --Unfocused 23:33, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep but requires sources. Kappa 23:38, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep reasonable stub (welldone to those people who cleaned it up) on notable religious topic. Capitalistroadster 02:13, 13 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - ah, the magic of Wikipedia. -- BDAbramson thimk 03:52, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
  • Keep if it can be established that a "spiritual marriage" means something more than a marriage that is spiritual (i.e. one that includes being religious). (Googling the phrase mostly gets me results like "Is yours a spiritual marriage?" using the phrase in a way that's no more than the sum of its parts.)

Time and date and astronomy on Mars

[edit]

This is a cleanup/deletion request. The page content has been previously split into Astronomy on Mars and Timekeeping on Mars. I've fixed the page links that pointed here to instead point to these two pages. So only user, discussion and redirect pages now point here. (At least as far as I could tell checking the "What links here" page.)

The following redirects also point to Time and date and astronomy on Mars, but are not linked to by anything except user/discussion pages: Yestersol, Time and date on Mars, Time, calendar and astronomy on Mars, and Time, date and astronomy on Mars. So, if the vote is to delete, I'd like to see these removed as well. — RJH 21:12, 12 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

List of French Jews

[edit]

This articles, as many containing list of Jews, are simply awful. How can anybody feel free to publish publicly the religion appartenance of anyone? Thankfully, Nazi time is over, and that kind of pages should be deleted as soon as possible.

I don't get your point. The List of Jews by country series list Jews from 96 different countries, including 9 Arab ones. That's pretty consistent. Juko

Eucalculus

[edit]

Article starts "Eucalculus is a term devised by Charles Douglas Wehner for an extended form of the infinitesimal calculus." and is signed with CDW. Neither MathSciNet nor Zentralblatt MATH (big databases with information on maths articles) has an article mentioning eucalculus.
