NoPoint.org[edit]

Un-notable website, no Alexa rank, advertising--nixie 00:35, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete probable spam. Their blog put up a "We're in the encyclopedia" entry within moments of the WP article being created. Previous entry before that was in January. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:50, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Who would spam a website that you couldn't profit from? Serves as an easy to manage/update FAQ for the site. Keep it! Kaneda
    • Wikipedia isn't here to advertise your site. User:Kaneda's only edits are to the article up for deletion.--nixie 00:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • It's not an advertisement...it's a reference. I highly doubt any random user would go onto wikipedia.org and type in NoPoint.org in the search box. You advertised the website when you put this page up for deletion, now people who never knew that the site existed, and would have never known the site existed are discovering it. The only reason this article is the only one I've editied is because I just signed up for a username on Wikipedia, I planned on editing other articles besides this one. Kaneda
    • There's no reason for Wikipedia to manage, store, serve, and maintain the FAQ for your web site. A site described as a "news blog and messageboard" ought to be able to find someplace to store their own FAQ. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:52, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • KeepI think this should stay on, these guys are awesome.
  • Delete Sites on Wikipedia should already be notable when they are listed on WP. When sites are listed for the sole purpose of trying to gain notability through WP, that is advertising. --Tubutler 02:06, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • To clear up any confusion; the sole purpose of the WP page is to serve as a reference to users/new users of the site; not to gain notability through WP. Again, the only people who will read this article on WP are people who have been to the site. Kaneda
    • What about the AYAZN? Barab
      • Oh, they repost pictures from Maxim Online! Clearly that makes them notable. (Note for sarcasm-impaired: no it doesn't.) -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:16, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, non-notable.-gadfium 02:11, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Possible spam? Hogwash! Merriam-Webster defines spam as "unsolicited usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses". This article spam? I think not! I think any attempt to find a commerical connection here will be ultimately futile. Keep im mind, this article is a major work-in-progress. The final product will no doubt be a major contribution to academia. Concentrate your efforts on why a search for "pig roast" links to "group sex". - Barab
    • Wikipedia defines spam as "advertisements masquerading as article". Delete. JeremyA 02:42, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Wikipedia also admits (from the FAQ) that information from this site "is of course possible for biased, out of date or incorrect". Ergo WP's definition of spam may be innacurate. Barab
    • See above statement. Kaneda
  • KEEP!! keep this page it rocks
  • Delete, self-promotion. And delete the images, too. —Korath (Talk) 03:15, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as self-promotion/vanity/non-notable. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 03:52, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wow, so many reasons to choose from: vanity, non-encyclopedic, self-promotion, sockpuppet-supported. Android79 03:55, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • If so many people like it, why delete it? And could somebody define "non-encyclopedic" for me? It sounds like a pretty subjective parameter. And by the way, it's not self-promoting since everyone else is promoting it through this topic...Kaneda
    • Subjective? Sure, but we have guidelines. Also, "It's not self-promotion because you guys are promoting it, too" is pretty illogical... Android79 04:38, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • I meant in the sense that a random user would never have stumbled upon the entry for the site on WP - and that people are finding out about the website now because it was put up for deletion - which was never the intention. Kaneda 04:56, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • The "no user would ever have thought to look for it in an encyclopedia" argument has been tried before. It's not exactly a good argument for keeping the article. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:24, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I think you'll find that the number of users who frequent VfD discussions is pretty small. Sure, I found out about it, but I'm never visiting again. Android79 05:11, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
        • There are alot more than I expected...I wasn't aware that this was such a huge past time. I can't believe all these years I spent wasting my life when I could've been doing this! Why didn't someone tell me?? Kaneda 05:15, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • As the wise Mr Spock once said "Emotions are alien to me. I'm a scientist." 149.152.23.25 05:13, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This is quite simply not notable. Is it a fun website for the bunch of friends that it serves? I'm sure it is. But it's not encyclopedic -- meaning that if "the people who like it like it!" was enough to qualify a website then there'd be almost no site that didn't. -- Antaeus Feldspar 05:24, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • "It is undignified for a woman to play servant to a man who is not hers."
    • You may think it isn't notable now Antaeus, but sometime in the future it could be. Besides that, how does it affect you if it's up or not? The page will have plenty of content in the weeks to come if it stays up, and will be very informative. C'mon, let's keep it up! Kaneda 05:32, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • 'Uhh... Kaneda, I'd like to point out that.... Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. This means that if it's not notable now, then it must be deleted now. When it's notable, THEN it can go in and stay in. Wakuseino 07:13, 12 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Not notable, self-promotion. -- Cleduc 05:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • "It is more rational to sacrifice one life than six."
  • Delete this vanity article. Rhobite 05:35, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • "Instruments register only through things they're designed to register. Space still contains infinite unknowns."
  • Delete, there is NoPoint in this article staying. Not notable, obvious promo. Megan1967 05:37, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • "On my planet, to rest is to rest -- to cease using energy. To me, it is quite illogical to run up and down on green grass, using energy, instead of saving it."
  • Strong delete. There was a time... when I considered sparing this article... But all this flaming repulses me. Get it away from me. Ugh. JIP | Talk 11:07, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as vanity, and please get 149.152.23.25 from vandalizing this VfD discussion. Radiant! 11:12, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Wikipedia shouldn't be used for advertising. Do you think that you will get more keep votes if you troll here? Jeltz talk 11:22, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable (even the creators of the article appear to be claiming no-one would search for it), and quoting an actor wearing plastic ears isn't going to convince me either. A website without and wider influence, current or historical, isn't encyclopedic. Average Earthman 12:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I take offense at that. He's not quoting Leonard Nimoy, he's quoting Spock. To us Trekkies (or is it Trekkers nowadays), Spock is much more than a pair of plastic ears. But I still vote delete. JIP | Talk 17:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. You people have no right judge the social and cultural implications of NoPoint.org based on your narrow viewpoint. For example, I do not study astrophysics, yet I do not go and mark the astrophysics page for deletion because the subject is not of immediate importance or interest to me. I understand and respect the fact that there is a community that astrophysics is important to, so I believe they are entitled to a page. Although it may not be apparent to you people sitting in front of your monitors, there is a community that appreciates the existance of a NoPoint.org wiki entry, albiet smaller than the astrophsyics community, yet no less important. Who are you to judge?
    • Note: The above vote is by anon IP 68.109.118.145, whose first and only contribution is to this VfD. Not that that should really surprise anyone, of course. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 17:33, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. The website isn't notable enough to have an article in an encyclopedia. -Hapsiainen 17:37, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep Does not the bible say "Judge not, lest ye be judged?" 149.152.17.20 17:47, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • This is the first and only edit from the anon's IP. I have created several articles to Wikipedia. You can put any of them to VfD, if you like. I'm sure that they will survive. -Hapsiainen 18:15, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • keep Just stumbled upon this entry as I was browsing through the VFDs...sure, some people may not think it's worth of an entry into WP, but these guys seem passionate about their site. I say we let them keep the entry. 128.59.149.140 20:12, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC) 128.59.149.140's only edits are to this VfD and blanking User:Kaneda.
  • STRONG Delete. These self-important twits seem to think Wikipedia is a free web-hosting service. Their site isn't remotely notable, nor is it likely to become so in the future. I suggest we keep a close eye on User:Kaneda and his team of sock-puppets. They'll probably try to recreate this page after it's been deleted. Binadot 23:02, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Also, I strongly recommend that we ban User:Kaneda and his associated tentacles. He's being incredibly obnoxious, changing people's votes, altering their comments, etc. Binadot 04:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, and consider enforcement action against the sockpuppets. Chris 23:13, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: if you are a first-time editor, are affiliated with the nopoint.org website and are planning to vote: wait, and read User:Gamaliel's and my comments near the bottom of Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Khakain first. Thank you.--Plek 23:15, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, articles have to be encyclopedic to be included in an encyclopedia. Why don't the sockpuppets realize that their efforts are futile? DaveTheRed 00:53, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • yuo goons Barab 03:29, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Why do you guys care so much though? Can someone tell me how this page being on WP affects their daily life? Kaneda 03:47, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • That's a perfectly fair question. There are two major reasons: (PRECEDENT) In a way, every VfD is a precedent. Nopoint.org has absolutely no Alexa rank at all (proof here: http://www.alexa.com/data/details?url=nopoint.org ) and next-to-no Google presence. If we were to keep this article just to be nice, then literally any website could argue that they deserve an article too, on the basis that Nopoint.org was kept. (REPUTATION) Wikipedia is, above all, an encyclopedia: a tool for people doing research. While articles like this are not personally offensive to us, a reader who finds Wikipedia to be clogged with unimportant, nonsensical, silly, trivial, and useless information is less likely to take wikipedia seriously as an information source. This is detrimental to Wikipedia as a whole and all the editors who work hard to make it a useful information source. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 13:33, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
        • Ok, I see your point. And thank you for a decent, reasonable explanation. The precedent case makes sense to me, as all the other website articles you guys shut down would want to be brought back up if you kept this one up. But can we make an exception? Ok, haha, probably not. I have to admit though, I was shocked by how passionate people are about shutting this page down. And although I do see your point about how people might not see WP as a serious information source...I'm not really sure how many people would consider WP as one. I use WP just as a hobby, but I would never use WP as a 'serious' source if I was going to write a paper, or even a short article. I can't imagine citing an open source encylcopedia ever as reference...the only thing it would be good for is perhaps references itself to other materials. Just my two cents. And also, I'd suggest some people who browse the VFDs so often read up on these: hobby and recreation. Kaneda 22:39, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • We are doing our part to improve Wikipedia. One of the ways we do that is by removing articles that do not belong here. DaveTheRed 07:40, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, blatently advertising his own site on wikipedia. Remove immediately. mcbarron
  • Delete. Vanity, insufficiently notable. Jonathunder 04:55, 2005 Mar 8 (UTC)
  • Delete -- Curps 05:49, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. A reputable administrator will ignore the delete votes being made by vandals.
    • This voter from IP 82.46.103.4 is definitely a vandal, becase he changed the heading to link to Slashdot.org. ([1]) -Hapsiainen 17:14, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Recycling Troll 22:42, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. See Wikipedia:Requests_for_arbitration/Kenneth_Alan
    • The above comment by Frontiersman. Frontiersman (talk • contribs) has 5 edits.
      • And I entirely fail to see how an Arb ruling against Kenneth is relevant to the discussion on the encyclopedicity of this article. Radiant! 11:32, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
        • Frontiersman's edits to Ken Firby and User:Kenneth Alan make the claim that they are the same person. This is almost certainly untruth of the highest order. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • They ARE the same person! I had no idea he was on WP, we haven't had any contact with Ken since High School. (~4 years) Back in the old days he used to post crazy ramblings on my site ALL the time! What a crazy coincidence that he'd pop up here! See and you guys thought he wasn't really infamous! He just started posting on my site again you can go check it out if you'd like. Small small world! Finding out what Ken's up to made the whole thing worthwhile!! Thanks Wikipedia!! Barab 16:52, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
          • Barabad0s, that is the corniest shite I have seen in so long. What kind of drugs, please tell me. Also, it would help if they saw the elderly cached remains of your site. Dig up the old board's posts and maybe you'll have a case. I haven't seen them in a while and Ken's not only infamous here, but also on www.bolt.com, www.skadi.net and www.stormfront.org. Frontiersman 18:09, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Not notable. Advertising. Delete. Kosebamse 20:40, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I'd just like to point out that niether me nor Kaneda had any part of the recent vandalism to our page... Barab 21:56, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • That's good, because whoever did ought to be banned immediately. Android79 22:53, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Well i figured you guys would point your fingers at us Barab 23:53, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. -- Karada 23:07, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Non-notable. Q: Who would spam a website that you couldn't profit from? A: The same sort of people with the egos to make a pointless web site about themselves. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:21, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
      • Wouldn't you call this a personal attack? 149.152.23.25 18:04, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I might, but I think the point was that the other attacks were unsigned. If they're clearly attributed to someone, then it's easy to tell who's making the attack. In other words, register and log in when you post if you want even your personal attacks to be taken seriously. Android79 18:18, Mar 10, 2005 (UTC)
        • Further more, I'd call it an answer to the question. If your argument is going to be "Our motivation isn't commercial profit, so clearly our motivation was a good one, instead!" then you don't act surprised or as if you've been grievously wronged when people point out that other poor motivations beside the profit motive exist -- and highlight the evidence for those motivations. -- Antaeus Feldspar 20:01, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Egos for having our own webpage? You have your own webpage, you f'ing hypocrite. [[2]] At least on ours we don't have the ego to post our "professional experiences." And by the way, learn some HTML. I made a webpage back when I was in 8th grade (nearly 10 years ago) that looked infinetly better than yours. It'd be a good hobby for you, since you're obviously not getting anywhere with your sketches. Unsigned personal attacks by 160.39.202.137 (talk • contribs), whose edits are all to the article or to this VfD.
      • I believe you missed the word "pointless" in the original argument. Chris 22:17, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • We use it to keep in touch with each other after moving away to college (columbia, northeastern, wpi, ccsu etc)
          • BAM! Alas the point of the webpage. I know it's kinda confusing, it being called nopoint.org and all...but don't let that trip you up. Kaneda 02:02, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
          • This is commendable, but it doesn't mean that the site merits an article. -Aranel ("Sarah") 02:01, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Comment OH BAM! 149.152.23.25 05:13, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete non-notable Tjc 10:09, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Shawn Brenhouse[edit]

The name gets 20 google hits, none talk about the supposed hit or case. Not verifiable--nixie 01:19, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete even if every word of it is true, he wouldn't be notable. Somebody shot his truck. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:27, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not only a vanity page, but an odd one at that. Android79 04:04, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete he is an irrelevancy.

Steak and Blowjob Day[edit]

This is nowhere near a real holiday, like International Talk Like a Pirate Day. --Pharos 20:34, 3 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Note: This page did not appear on the main VfD page as of 22:00 UTC on 6 March. Entry added to page. Chris 02:50, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, talk like a pirate day is a good measure of notability for memes, this one isn't notable enough--nixie 02:08, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. I've read about this on many websites and know a few people particpating. What guy can deny this great idea? Barab
    Comment: Above vote by 149.152.23.25, though I suspect this is due to sign-in amnesia. User has 10 edits on account, one was creating the NoPoint.org article nominated below, and most of the rest are "keep" votes on said VfD. I have my opinion, but recuse from voting due to finding the "widowed" nomination. Chris 04:34, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    Comment. 149.152.23.25 (talk • contribs) committed some vandalism, and there are various circumstantial links between him and Barab (talk • contribs) based on their edit histories (a common interest in group sex, for instance [8] [9]). The above vote should not count unless Barab signs in as himself and takes credit for it. -- Curps 05:58, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

This is apparently a joke about Valentines Day started by a couple of DJs in Boston and spread through internet humor. All of these internet mentions are about what a great idea it is. I see no proof of actual existence.--Pharos 04:26, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. It is in fact a joke by Boston-area DJs, who actually described it as "Steak And A You-Know-What Day" by one of the DJs doing his Peter Graves impression. All of which makes it funny but not encyclopedic. -- Antaeus Feldspar 04:48, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not encyclopaedic, trivial. Megan1967 05:44, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete as reposting of previously deleted material. A title like that's hard to forget! - Lucky 6.9 05:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Another bad joke with no place in Wikipedia. I'm taking this off March 14. -- PFHLai 06:52, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable although I can imagine some hopeful husband arguing that he read in an encyclopedia about the good things in store on March 14. Capitalistroadster 10:02, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Bologna ponies[edit]

Band vanity, no music released in any 'offline' formats--nixie 03:11, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • no evidence of notability presented; cutesiness like "pioneers of yadda-yadda of which they are the sole representative" tells me this is a band with nothing real to say about themselves. Delete. -- Antaeus Feldspar 03:56, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. As the article mentions, "The Bologna Ponies are opposed to traditional methods of distrbution," and so on. They should not be punished for holding true to their aesthetic without yet having a comparable level of fame (outside of San Diego, where I live). -- Doubleplus 04:15, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC) Note: user's only contributions thus far are to the article in question and this VfD discussion. Also note that user removed this comment. Android79 04:32, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC) I removed it because it's an ad hominem attack and has nothing to do with the discussion at hand. I had no need to create an account up to this point, so my previous "contributions" were not tracked. -- Doubleplus 04:50, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • If you feel it was an ad hominem, which it wasn't, then comment on it, rather than deleting it. I didn't mean to be rude, but is pertinent to this discussion. You may have contributed much more to WP than your user history shows, but this is unverifiable. Android79 05:05, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • It's ad hominem in that you're attacking the person (or the person's credentials) instead of his argument. The issue here is whether the band should be able to have an entry. Whether or not I've ever contributed to Wiki has nothing at all to do with the answer to this question. -- Doubleplus
      • Look, you're taking this entirely the wrong way. This sort of tagging of new or low-edit users is a common occurrence in VfD discussions. The idea is that, if a user has very few contributions to date, there's a good chance that the user may be arguing in bad faith or engaging in sockpuppetry. I was not implying that you were doing either of those things; I was just pointing something out that will be useful to both the discussion and to the administrators that make the final decision. There's nothing personal about it. Android79 16:38, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
        • I wasn't taking it personally; I was pointing out what I believed to be a logical fallacy. But thank you for making the effort to clarify what you were saying.
      • Who's saying that credentials are irrelevant? If you were overseeing a local election and a 14-year-old came in to vote, wouldn't you turn him away and say "Sorry, but you're below voting age"? If someone walked in and couldn't show evidence that he actually lived in the municipality whose next leaders he wanted to help choose, wouldn't you turn him away? One of the biggest myths of VfD is that, just for showing up, any random editor gets an equal vote -- even if they show no signs that they've been around long enough to understand Wikipedia's standards, or even any sign that they give a damn about Wikipedia's standards. If you don't think that's fair, then let us manage your band. It doesn't matter that we have no experience, aren't familiar with your music, and may in fact only want to sabotage you -- we showed up, and no other "credentials" should be relevant. -- Antaeus Feldspar 16:59, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • What do you mean by "your band"? I don't have a band. I've been following the Ponies for a couple of years now and I decided to post a stub for others in their sizable fan base to expand on. And using your own logic, you shouldn't be taking part in this decision anyway. You don't live in SD, and you don't follow free-form jazz/rock acts (as far as I know), so how can you say that this band isn't notable enough in either of those regards to merit an entry? The "sole representative" line that's being beaten about is just a conceit on my part and can easily be edited. -- Doubleplus 17:25, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
          • Here's a hint for you: A Wikipedia article is not a right. The standard is not "The band gets an article unless someone shows they shouldn't", it's "The band doesn't get an article unless someone shows that they should." Claiming that I don't have the knowledge to dispute the evidence presented for their notability is moot until such evidence is presented. And if you don't want to play by those rules, then go elsewhere. -- Antaeus Feldspar 18:44, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, fails to meet the notability and music guidelines. Android79 04:32, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, we (Bologna Ponies) use a creative commons license (non-commercial, no mixing, else copying ok) and naturally are not going to satisfy any of the traditional notions of notability. -- BologniumNitrate aka Chuck 21:19:20, Mar 6, 2005 (PDT) This is 168.253.132.237's only edit.
    • This is not my only edit, I simply do not feel the need to maintain a vanity account on wiki and make my edits as such. I think the real purpose to which user accounts appears to be turned is to establish a criteria for rejecting contributions, which is absurd, and potentially marginalizing. "He's not one of us, just delete him, folks. Move along." Wikipedia has real fears, I recognize that and have seen some of the abuses of wikipedia, but most of the real abuses don't revolve around one-time edits. In addition, you are basing your arguments on a position of ignorance claiming we don't deserve an entry because you've never heard of us. As I and Doubleplus have shown elsewhere, Bologna_ponies do have contacts, affiliations, and influences in the local music community. BologniumNitrate
    • Even with the no commercial ethos, your groups hasn't toured, been featured in the media or hosted by any arts institutions, which may have pushed you over the line for notability--nixie 06:37, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • It is only more difficult for a Creative Commons-licensed band to show notability; it is not (as you seem to be implying) impossible-and-therefore-irrelevant. Look at Brad Sucks, whose music is all CC-licensed; his music has been licensed for use by TV shows and for commercials. That's evidence of notability. Merely saying "CC-licensing means you can never show evidence of notability and therefore Wikipedia should just waive that entirely for us" is a false statement followed by an unreasonable interpretation. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Average Earthman 12:43, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, falling outside the norm shouldn't preclude an artist from existence. User:Marstokyo\Marstokyo Note: this is Marstokyo's only edit.
    • "Existing" and "having a Wikipedia article" aren't the same thing. -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, wikipedia doesn't include every artist which exists, only those which can prove a certain degree of public recognition or other importance. Kappa 13:27, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • From the above cited Music/Notability Guidelines: "These are merely rules of thumb which some editors choose to keep in mind when decided whether or not to keep an article that is on votes for deletion." and "Has become the most prominent representative of a notable style or the local scene of a city." and "Contains at least one member who was once a part of or later joined a band that is otherwise extremely notable." The last applies since Monk played in the past with Tristeza, which is a much more pop/profit minded band that you can "verify" if you like. -- Doubleplus
    • Well, the guidelines exist for a reason; they're generally applied equally to all musician VfDs that come up. As for the guidelines themselves: emerging post-indie San Diego improv jazz/rock sound, of which the band remains the sole representative does not exactly jive with calling the scene/sound notable, as you yourself describe it as emerging and the band being its lone representative. As for was once a part of [...] a band that is otherwise extremely notable, I'm not sure if Tristeza would qualify as extremely notable. Android79 16:50, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
      • The use of the term 'extremely notable' would appear to disqualify Tristeza completely (particularly since nobody has bothered to write an article for them yet). I mean, extremely notable would be a band such as, say, Joy Division, hence New Order and Monaco (band) would qualify for articles even if they didn't on their own (off the top of my head example). Also, you said 'played with' not 'was a member of'. Average Earthman 17:05, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't suppose The Robot Ate Me would qualify as extremely notable, would it? Emperor Meng has a part in the album reviewed in that article. They also have a page on wikipedia. BologniumNitrate

  • Delete. One of the criteria under the WikiMusic guidelines is completing a tour of a large or medium size nation. As yet, this band has not done this.

As yet, we don't have verifiabilty or notability established. Capitalistroadster 09:53, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Antulio Kobo Santarrosa[edit]

Article is very point of view. The person is real, but there are no links on the internet that gives us vital biography stats, and the person that write it did not even spell the name right.

The heaviest reason is the point of view the writer expresses, and the fact that we are missing some internet sites with Santarrosa's information. --Marine 69-71

Halifu Kwajah[edit]

Third of a series of joke/fantasy pages created, I'm guessing, by an L.A. sub-teen born in 1993 <g>. I noticed these a while ago and, I regret to say, just didn't get around to having them expunged. No evidence that any such religion as Jahasikarianism exists, though there may be a dj out there who goes by the stage name of Halifu Kwajah. Even if there were, I don't think he's sufficiently notable to have his own page. Zora 04:36, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Surrealist Subversions[edit]

  • Delete, See What Wikipedia is not, also the edits and reverts on the article show disagreement over article being objective and bias. The article states, "as the name suggests", which is not objective wording. The article was also created by Wikipedia user, Daniel C.Boyer, who is a contributor to the book(as indicated in article contributors) and has obvious vested self-interest. This is another violation of Advertising, also the redirect to AUTONOMEDIA, that page shows that the, Autonomedia, is in need of a cleanup as indicated by tag on that article. Also, there exists no credible reference sources regarding literary or critical review outside of the independent press. Author, Ron Sakolsky, is a pirate radio expert, not a surrealist with any literary or critical notability. NON-NOTABLEClassicjupiter2 16:45, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Diablito[edit]

Quite a number of google hits (20,000 or so) - but almost all for people using this fairly common Spanish word for their user IDs on blogs or forums. The page, as written, seems to be vaguely nonsensical - I can't see anything encyclopaedic about it. Grutness|hello? 06:05, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Federal Republic of Germany[edit]

This is intended to be a fork of Germany by a user who refuses to work with other editors on the article (explaining its current protected status). User intends for this to be his/her own private article as illuminated by their description of it:

I've started a new page on my own at Federal Republic of Germany. The title was still free. The links on Wikipedia can stay as they are - there is no need to redirect anything, because the Germany page will still remain the "official" article. The "FRG" will be the "unofficial" version and will be under my charge.

Therefore, I believe it ought to be deleted as a fork and a redirect put in it's place (to ensure no future reemergence of deleted contents). Cool Hand Luke 12:09, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Destroy All Monsters 2[edit]

This may or may not be an attempt to describe the upcoming movie Godzilla: Final Wars but even if that's the intent, the information seems highly unreliable. IMDB lists no "Destroy All Monsters 2", even in production, which tells me this is either fan-rumor garbled by several degrees or a hoax. Delete article and content unless some verification surfaces. -- Antaeus Feldspar 19:12, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Factual accuracy issues aside, is this former high school teacher notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia? If yes, why? 89 unique matches on google. [30] --GRider\talk 22:29, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, and how is the accuracy in question? - SimonP 23:20, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • As you are aware, this article has been substantially improved since the original listing on VfD. It contained sentences such as "He ran again in the 2000 Toronto election is a battle with convicted criminal Mario Gentile.", an invalid name categorization, and other such accuracy-related issues, all of which are addressed in the article history log. --GRider\talk 17:44, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • How the issue is worded may be potentially POV, but it's a matter of historical record that Gentile was convicted of a crime (see here.) It is not, as such, an accuracy issue. And I fail to see anything that fits into what you allege to be an "invalid name categorization" or any other such issue where facts have been changed. Would you care to explain further?

Giorgio Mammoliti[edit]

Vanity? Resume-cruft? Is it possible to merge these 430+ words into a parent article? Is anything here worthy of merging or should it be outright deleted? Obligatory google search turns up 157 unique matches. [31] --GRider\talk 22:15, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. —Mar·ka·ci:2005-03-7 23:11 Z
  • Keep. Even if Toronto city councillors don't automatically count as notable, Mammoliti unquestionably is.

  • Keep. This is not a stub. Kevintoronto 14:44, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep; whether Toronto city councillors are notable or not, Mammoliti was a Member of Provincial Parliament from 1990 to 1995, and it's already been established that members of provincial or state legislatures are always notable enough for Wikipedia. Bearcat 16:13, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Where has that been established? -R. fiend 19:44, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Wikipedia:Criteria for inclusion of biographies. "Political figures holding statewide or nationwide elected office." Bearcat 23:41, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Thank you Bearcat for your comments. Please note that this figure is neither a statewide nor nationwide elected official so that criteria is not applicable.

          • I would have to suggest that, yes. In Canada, there's technically no such thing as a provincewide or nationwide elected office per se; we only vote for our local candidate and the premiership or prime ministership automatically goes to the leader of whichever party won the most local candidate races. I remain quite certain that there's an established precedent for keeping people who've been elected to provincial/state/national legislatures. Bearcat 03:19, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Kasidy Yates[edit]

This sub-minor Star Trek character turns up 423 hits on Google. Is there anything here worth merging into a larger list or should this be deleted in its entirety? --GRider\talk 23:03, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • I'm not a big fan of separate articles for non-starring fictional characters, but appearances in 15 episodes over five of DS9's seven seasons, including the finale, certainly makes her more notable than Brunt or Data's cat, Spot. Within the ST universe I'd say her notability is comparable to Naomi Wildman (18 or 20 appearances, depending on how you count). I probably wouldn't lose any sleep if this was merge/redir'd w/Benjamin Sisko or some collective ST characters article, but if she goes, more than half of Category:Star_Trek_characters should probably go, as many have only one appearance in all of Trek. FWIW, there's a bunch more hits if you change that search to the misspelling 'kassidy'. Niteowlneils 03:08, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge with List of Star Trek characters. As Niteowlneils points out, this is a recurring character instead of a one episode blip. --Allen3 04:05, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Peter Milczyn[edit]

Are city council members from Canada inherently noteworthy? What is the consensus? Google returns 188 unique matches for this particular figure. [34] --GRider\talk 21:59, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)


  • Keep - Michael Thompson and Doug Holyday were kept and there is no reason why this Toronto councillor should not also be kept. - SimonP 22:24, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • Thank you SimonP for your response. Google is returning an exceptionally low number of hits for this individual. Based on your suggestion, is it safe to assume then that all Toronto City Council members are inherently noteworthy regardless of the respective hit count? Is this a matter of consensus? --GRider\talk 22:46, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • No, my contention is that notability is a meaningless concept. I am asserting that the neutrality and accuracy of an article on a Toronto city councillor is verifiable because they have all received significant coverage in reliable secondary sources. - SimonP 23:00, Mar 7, 2005 (UTC)
        • Acknowledged. Thank you for your honest and expeditious reply. --GRider\talk 01:26, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Wikipedia is not paper. Toronto city councillors are notable enough, and Milczyn is even more so because he is known as one of the former Liberal Party member who threw his support behind John Tory's Tories (say it three times real fast) for the Ontario government.

  • Merge and redirect to some Toronto councillors article. This article is 90% filler and basically says nothing of interest. -R. fiend 19:40, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Not to you, perhaps. If I were interested in the municipal politics of Toronto--and millions have reason to be--I would be interested to learn this stuff. For example, "he is considered one of the right wing members of city council"--that's interesting and important information to many people. Meelar (talk) 01:02, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)

Its Jesus LOL and its accompanying Image:MormonKnockKnock.jpg are rather devoid of content and value, and the picture is not only tasteless but much larger than it really needs to be. Delete both. -John Owens (talk) 23:55, 2005 Mar 7 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as vandalism and maybe block the user who apparently knew what s/he was doing. This is just wrong. - Lucky 6.9 23:59, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy delete Doesn't take a genius to figure this one out. --The Milkman 00:33, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

Sinister[edit]

a fan page to a singer if a non notable band. "Delete" --User:Boothy443 | comhrÚ 20:57, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • I've heard some great things about this band, they're doing some very interesting things in the field, not just their specific genre. Haven't heard them just yet, but I intend on getting one of their older works soon. From what I can gather, they're ready to explode, probably worth keeping up based on potential. I must admit, the name should probably be changed, as the article seems to be not just about sinister himself. "Do Not Delete" -- 224.13.180.74 | 16:03, 7 Mar 2005 (MTN)
  • Delete, non-notable, possible vanity (Google search not particularly effective due to the obvious prevalence of names like "Sinister" and "Blasphemy"). User 224.13.180.74's defense sounds obviously biased, and the lack of a registered name at Wikipedia does not strengthen his argument much. "Ready to explode" even though he has not heard them yet? Come on. RidG (talk) 06:08, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable, possible vanity. Megan1967 07:16, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I want this down. Now. -- sinister

    • Oh, man, if this weren't so clearly non-notable, I'd vote keep just because of that threat. Unfortunately, I have to vote delete. RickK 20:06, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not notable, vanity. Note that user 63.120.179.155 blanked this discussion. Android79 21:30, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Good one, Rick! I wouldn't mind voting "keep" just to torque off the hosiery. Alas, a delete must be cast. Bummer. - Lucky 6.9 03:49, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
