I do not quite understand the above as this has just been put to AfD and strongly kept ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/St._Jimmy]])- it is a TALK PAGE. Page now seems to have been refactored to clean up chatter anyway. Nomination is slightly bizarre and perplexing- can the nominator give more explanation, if possible?

Revision as of 02:49, 26 April 2006

If you've come here having recently created a page that has just been marked to say it may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, welcome to Wikipedia. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations – you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the sandbox for further testing, or create a user page for yourself.

If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that met the criteria for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.

For more information, please read our deletion policy.

Using this page

For articles that need deletion, add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} to the top of the page. You should not wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history. This expands to:

Template loop detected: Template:Db-reason

Replace Reason with the reason why the page should be deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.

Other templates available that give a reason include {{nonsense}} and {{db-bio}}. They may be used where appropriate.

(You can also use {{delete}} or {{d}} if you prefer not to provide a reason, but it is generally a good idea to provide a reason, even where it seems "obvious" to you.)

Note that if you just replace the content with {{db|reason}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.

See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.

For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Wikipedia:Proposed deletion (for deletions likely to meet no opposition) or Wikipedia:Articles for deletion (for controversial deletions). Please do not list pages here that are already listed there.

Advice for administrators

  • Review our admin deletion guidelines
  • Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
  • Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion
  • If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.
  • Don't worry too much [1] — new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. Wikipedia:Speedy deletion patrol goes through the deletion logs to catch stuff that shouldn't have been speedied, without rancor or excessive red tape. Feel free to be efficient!

Deletion of personal pages

Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't.

Only post pages from your own personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here.

Please see Wikipedia:User page for further instructions, and Wikipedia talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.

Requested

Note: For faster response, please add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} as mentioned above.

Deletion of Articles

Deletion of Redirects

I have redirected a page called "Daisy_Louisa_De_Melker" to one called "Daisy_de_Melker", as that is how this person is known. My problem is that in the search box, if one types in "Daisy de Melker" one doesn't go straight to that page, but get offered three options of pages with possible info on this person. If one types in "Daisy_Louisa_De_Melker" however, one gets redirected to the correct page. Both pages are identical. The correct search term should be 'Daisy de Melker'. Can someone fix the search engine, or delete the original page please? Marcelle 14:46, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Questioned speedy deletions

Template:Btot


IWDN

If someone would like to discuss the criteria for the inclusion of IWDN into Wikipedia, I'd be happy to do so. I saw the Candidate for Speedy Deletion tag on it and saw deletion had taken place, though I could not find any discussion or even a brief explanation for what criterion was not met, unless it has to do with significance. If this is the case, I'm not entirely sure the best way to assert the significance of the IWDN community without sounding like I'm doing a whole lot of horn-blowing, which is not my intent at all.

IWDN is cetainly not fictitious, and it takes only a cursory perusal of its contents to see that its impact on the development industry is far from insignificant, from the communal problem solving that takes place, to the articles members post, much of which involves a good degree of original thought, all of which is done with absolutely no compensation, either on an individual member level or a site level (if commercial gain is in question with this entry).

What information is missing from the entry that would fill in whatever gaps wree cause for deletion?

Marc Ecko

I'm not the author of this page nor do I know a tremendous amount about Marc Ecko, so I can't vouch for the explanation on the talk page saying that article was copied from his website. However, the reason given for speedy deletion, "self promotion stunt", I believe is wrong. Ecko has a following which includes a popular, although poorly received, video game (here's the Amazon link [2]) and clothing line (another Amazon link for an example [3]) . He was also in the news this weekend due to an eliborate Internet hoax regarding Air Force One [4]. Again, I can't vouch for the article or add anything new regarding Ecko, but I question the reasoning behind the speedy delete.--Ataricodfish 16:05, 22 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

ICT_In_Education

Its a work in progress. Be a darling and give me a chance to write it. I only started it a few hours ago, and had a meeting. It'll grow over the next few days. Thanks :) AnnabelBuxton 15:58, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Kurshamidoonickilineboonikins

This is a page of a Fictional Story Character, which is expressly in your definition of what is NOT patent nonsense. It doesn't contain much information yet, but that will be worked upon. cheshirecat 6:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I think it's more a case of being non-notable (e.g. we do not have an article for Natasha Szmidt et al and google search for Kurshamidoonickilineboonikins just returns a few deviant art pages) and self-promotion rather than nonsense per se. Shiroi Hane 20:06, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Not sure if there's a valid speedy here, but this is such an obvious deletion candidate. Non-notable, original research, vanity, Wikipedia is not a free webhost, vanispamcruftisement, whatever. The image, which has been released as PD, is watermarked "copyright natasha szmidt" with cheshirecat's deviantart URL. Basically, if not a speedy, this is deletable in just about every other way. · rodii · 20:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Real Social Dynamics

As you can see from the page itself, this article is one of a series. I created this new page - if you look at my contributions, you'll see I've been very active in trying to grow and maintain the Seduction Community pages, and have worked on most of the related pages. So from this angle, I'd like to make a case that the page isn't spam - I'd say I'm pretty believably not working for Real Social Dynamics, given the amount of work I've put in to growing their competitors pages.

The article is, however, a crap stub. Give me a little while to build it up with help from the other editors. Cheers!

Ed Gein (band)

Deleted as 'n n bio'; I browsed this page briefly before the deletion and they seems notable enough to me. They're on Metal Blade Records, and released a demo & 2 LPs. The three album pages should not be recreated, IMO, but the main page should. Colonel Tom 01:26, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Image:Virgin Killer.jpg and Image:BlindFaithBlindFaith.jpg

Fair use album covers. Yes, they are controversial, but should they be censored by Wikipedia? I believe there should be discussion of whether or not their use is justified, rather than speedy deletion. Kaldari 06:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Under no circumstances should these album covers be deleted. From what I remember, the girl on the Blind Faith album cover was Ginger Baker's daughter..? --Mal 08:43, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not sure why this is here but, anyway, clearly and obviously we don't delete album covers of notable albums. Nuff said. --kingboyk 19:32, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I suppose the reason the images were proposed for deletion was that the images-- particularly the Scorpions cover-- border on kiddie porn. Considering that (according to the article) the Scorpion cover was replaced in a number of subsequent issues, it wouldn't necessarily hurt to use the current cover image instead of the original. WP does need to comply with Florida state law, and I suspect that the only reason that image could conceivably survive review is because it was slapped on an album cover, and prudentially I don't think Wikipedia should strive to become a First Amendment test case. The First Amendment does not cover obscenity, and a provocative photo of an actual child is the easiest thing in the world to ban. I did a Google search a moment ago, and there are several reports that the cover was banned in the US; I'm not surprised. Kaldari may have a point, that it's more of a debate issue than a speedy deletion issue, though Wikipedia may wish to protect itself on this one and delete first, debate later.

User_talk:Saito_Hajime

This user has made numerous edits to articles such as Go. While generally good, some of these edits are contested, and Saito_Hajime feels strongly enough about them to revert to his own version. If someone insists on contested edits, he should have a talk page where people can talk with him. Stephen B Streater 09:15, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

See User_page "How do I delete my user and user talk pages" for WP policy on this. Stephen B Streater 09:29, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Drew Derivative

I have made an artist/songwriter bio for this person and tried editing it straight after its completion. Please do not delete this article.

Patton Electronics

I have reworked this content to address the originial objections, and bring it more into line with wiki conventions. I am wide open to being mercilessly edited and am happy to make further revisions as suggested by the editors and wiki community. Also, please consider Patton would compare in many respects with RAD Communications. Patton supplies VoIP equipment to such national telecom carriers as Avantel Mexico, Green Austria, and iNode Switzerland. Patton is well-known among network technicians aand administrators for their countless useful gizmos that solve nasty little interface problems.

Jonathan Morris (author)

This stub was slapped with a deletion order in the midst of my writing it. While I will admit that it's entirely possible that it doesn't live up to the standards necessary for article retention, its necessity stems from the fact that Jonathan Morris was being mislinked across the Doctor Who project to the more famous priest of the same name. Something had to be done to disambiguate the two, and I was making an honest effort to try to relink the various instances of "Jonathan Morris" in the Doctor Who pages to the correct individual. As the talk page for the author has been deleted, I'd appreciate any comments on how to bring the stub up to standards, here. FWIW, this is my first article about a person, and even basic details about the author are proving somewhat elusive. Nevertheless, his output is of sufficient length, to justify some sort of separate article. Thanks in advance for your help :) CzechOut 07:14, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

After Amen

Yes, it is listed as a band. That is the intention of the article, to give information and background of an up and coming band. Any suggestions on fixing it would be appreciated. Brianm0520 05:51, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also significance is given. Anybody in north-western Alabama knows the band. Brianm0520 06:07, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia is not for giving information about up and coming bands. Please see WP:WWIN. It is an encyclopaedia. Bands that have become notable are included. If you can provide documented evidence that the band is notable, I'd like to see it. Stifle (talk) 17:22, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Hollen Enterprises

It says it is a non-notable company, this is only because i have not made it notable, it's just a local company, without an internet sight or anything. No one delete it.

If it is non-notable, you don't get an article. That simple. We also frown on people writing the articles about themselves/their companies, as they tend to make it all positive and flowery. -Mask 04:31, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hitler group

There was an singaporen group who idolized hitler..im gonna add the page and its link to the main neo nazism page....dont anyone delete it.....


Dare Obasanjo

New Wikipedian Terrestrian seems quite intent on getting this one article deleted. Dare Obasanjo is notable for two things: he is a son of present Nigerian president Olusegun Obasanjo -- which was mentioned in that article until Terrestrian deleted it, describing the inclusion of that information as "shameless self-advertising". Obasanjo is also a well-known Microsoft employee, being part of the XML group there, amongst other things. He's also produced software -- RSS Bandit, which, while not well-described on Wikipedia, is fairly well known. "Dare Obasanjo" returns over 800,000 google hits. His personal site has an 85k Alexa rating. "RSS Bandit", over 400,000 google hits; Alexa is 75k on its homepage. There are many less noteworthy and less known people with better articles on Wikipedia; yes, the article needs some work (it didn't help that it didn't have any categorization until very recently), but if this gets deleted now, someone's just going to end up reinstating it down the line anyhow. Warrens 23:05, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Never knew that Dare Obasanjo was related to anyone significant, but he is extremely well-known in the XML/RSS/Web Standards world. · rodii · 23:21, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Chess biographies of Ali Nihat Yazici, Geoffrey Borg, and Julio César Ingolotti.

User:Phr made a request for speedy deletion of these three chess biographies and they were all deleted within a matter of a few minutes before anybody had a chance to react. These are all very well known people both in chess and in their own countries. All of them are the presidents of the chess federations of their respective countries. In no way can they be considered non-notable. Please note that User:Phr has a long history of vandalizing almost every biography I post about chess. Sam Sloan 05:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These pages were all copied from campaign biographies at [5], a site for FIDE officer candidates that Sloan is trying to turn Wikipedia into a PR outlet for. The first such article Sloan pasted into Wikipedia without attribution was Panupand Vijjuprabha and I did a full AfD nomination at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Panupand_Vijjuprabha. After that article was speedied based on CSD A8, I nominated the others for speedy as they appeared based on their similarity with the already-speedied earlier article. I defer to the admins on what best to do with them but my view is that these people are non-notable, and that Wikipedia is not an appropriate venue for political campaigning. Phr 09:05, 19 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yazici is notable as the organizer of a multitude of FIDE official tournaments (such as the European championships, junior championships...). Borg is the secretary of the Mediterranean Chess Association. They are all Presidents of their own federations. Copyright vio -- maybe. But non-notable? I absolutely defer. VodkaJazz/talk 22:35, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'm ok with Yazici being notable, based on Google hits. Borg gets very few hits and I don't see being a functionary (including president) of a chess federation as notable in its own right. Phr 11:36, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Five-year plans of Nepal

Harro5 deleted this page claiming copyvio from [6]. The text was public domain from the Library of Congress Country Studies and the article's reference section indicated that. The other page happened to have used the text.--Bkwillwm 23:02, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Spring Thomas

Spring Thomas is well known in the Pornography world and she is mentioned in two wikipedia artichles. I'm sorry, but Pornography is relevant in todays world, like it or not. And i am not part of the industry. Be cool, guys!

Really? Any proof of this? I couldn't find any way she was notable. For the record, we do have entries on pornographic actresses (porn star is a highly bloated term, by the way), and I don't think anyone is arguing about the impact pornography has had in our culture. -- Joe Beaudoin Jr. Think out loud 18:11, 24 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vampygames

Vampygames is extremley well known in our area, and I have heard several complaints that it still does not have a Wikipedia entry. I took the initiative and made it. I just started it, and I don't belive that it is only about individuals that don't add to the topic. I just wrote how it had started, and I was going to add more quickly. Please don't delete this right away. 8:50 EST, 9 March 3006

User:Koavf

In my opinion although this article contains many links to others it, itself serves any purpose other than to promote the creator. I feel that this self promtion has no place on wikipedia, as it serves no purpose to other users. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dazwx1101 (talkcontribs)

Old Time Relijun

The article has been updated. It now gives several reasons for importance of band and notability, also including a new disc. and external links. This article has been refered to before I created it, and I am positive it will expand. Zeke73SG, JurjenL and myself are all interested in contributing. I do not believe that the matter of this article being deleted or not is any issue any longer. The0208 02:38, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added Old Time Relijun's exstensive discography which should further establish their legitimacy. Also, a link to the article making reference to de Dionyso's inovative use of overtone singing.Jurjen 02:49, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This Could Work Records

The label was previously mentioned on List of independent record labels since 6 January but an article was not made until just now. The article is significant to North Dakota culture and will expand in breadth and scope over time. --AlexWCovington (talk) 05:20, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For small town North Dakota something that can get kids involved is a necessity. This record label has signed several local acts and releases cds periodically. --Lonegunmun 05:44, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've never even been to that area of the country (hell, the closest I've ever come to the Dakotas is Eastern Ohio), but I'm a huge, huge fan of Chuck Klosterman. He would want this page to exist, and thus, so do I. Kicking222 19:00, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seiji Kameda

The reason given for this stub's speedy delete is non-notability. I have since expanded its content somewhat, and linked to other articles on Wikipedia, in an attempt to rectify the situation. I'm also going to repost what I wrote on the article's talk page:

Seiji Kameda is a music producer involved with several albums by Do As Infinity, a popular japanese band. Wikipedia pages that link to this article: Break of Dawn (album), New World (album), Do the Best, True Song (album), Gates of Heaven (album), Do The B-Side, etc, copied straight from What links here. The man appears to be a minor celebrity in Japan. I'd say that's fairly notable - hopefully the Management will see it fit to let this article grow. Tronno ( t | c ) 05:54, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Holy_Cross_Catholic_Church_in_Kalaheo

Paul B. Thompson

I have expanded this page, which includes some details about why this writer is important. He has written eleven books, many of which are Dragonlance novels.

The Jenova Project

The Jenova Project is a very popular name in the Metal scene of Bangladesh, and the mysterious nature of the band and its members adds to its popularity. The band has already achieved a kind of celebrity status among "Metal freaks". As for the band not having an album released yet...an album deal has already been signed with a record label called G-Series. The only reason why it hasn't yet been released is rather simple -- all the band members are students, and they are busy with studies, exams and whatnot, and hence the recording sessions have been put on hold until the end of May 2006. Please, PLEASE don't delete this article. - Parasyte941 11:24, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Swinburne Student Union

Important subject matter covering a controversial organisation with 40,000 members and a multi-million dollar budget. Early version did not explain that very well. Speedy delete should be removed. --2006BC 23:56, 11 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Jenova Project" also appears in the computergame Final Fantasy VII

User:Shultz_III/PIHNN

This is my own user sub-page. It's not an article on the mainspace. People on the discussion at this part of Hell's talk page told me that it was a good idea to move the list to a personal subpage instead, so I did just that. It shouldn't offend freakofnurture because he isn't related to anyone on the list, and that list is somewhat of a "hobby list" (or things of that sort, whatever it's called.) --Shultz III 09:58, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]


Jonathan Burdick

I'm not exactly sure why this was deleted. Jonathan Burdick is the popular writer for Cinema Fusion (http://www.cinemafusion.com), which gets thousands of hits per day, and is widely spoken and discussed about on internet message boards and towns across America. He has two novels in the works, and his short writings have quickly gathered a cult following. --DoobieDoobieDoo 04:29, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Don't be disingenuous. Your article was deleted because it was a useless, inane crock of garbage full of lies and stupidity. If someone wants to contribute a real article on Jonathan Burdick, they are welcome to do so (assuming he is genuinely notable). DS 23:32, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Swadesh 163

User:Fourohfour put the template {{nonsense}} in that page, without asking anything to me before. I explained yesterday the reasons why I am creating a series of Swadesh xxx templates to the administrators User:Gurubrahma and User:Shreshth91. User:Fourohfour should go to talk pages BEFORE taking hasty actions. PLS remove this template from my page. Thanks. Croquant 15:00, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tracey Philips

Shouldn't be a speedy. Article claims notability. Name is mispelled (Tracy Phillips), but, there are a couple of refs [7] including IMDB[8]. The article should be discussed at AfD if deletion considered. -- Samir (the scope) 23:37, 16 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Jean Baptiste Sipido

Let's not speedy this. The person and incident described are real and easy to find in Google and I can see a case for this being a notable event. At most this should be an AfD with an appropriate discussion before we delete it. I don't see this being an obvious speedy, maybe all it really needs is to be expanded and improved? Gwernol 00:42, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Unless there's more that 'interesting' to this guy than this one event, I say delete. I mean, THIS page (Yes, the speedy deletion page) is the number 4 result on Google. Most of the others on the first page are simple one-sentence descriptions. If you can find more information that makes this person notable, then by all means... But otherwise, this deserves to be a footnote in some other article. Heck, I can't even find a (confirmed) birth year or death year. If he's so unimportant that no one recorded when he died, then he's not notable. (I think that's a great new way of deciding if a dead person is notable. Did someone bother to record when he died, other than a standard newspaper-issue obituary? Ehurtley 08:18, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This has now been moved from speedy to AfD and survived there. "Jean Baptiste Sipido" right now has only 15 Google hits, when the word "wikipedia" is subtracted from the search, but he turned out to have an eighteen-page biography in the Biographie nationale, the Belgian dictionary of national biography. This is an excellent example of why Google may be of some use in indicating the notability of contemporary people but how completely and utterly useless it is in determining the lack of notability of many historical figures.

mad nigger

I redirected 'mad nigger' to Charlie Murphy, since he either invented the term or popularised its use as part of Chappelle's Show. It's been tagged for speedy deletion. What say you all? Go to the talk page and let's discuss it. - Richardcavell 07:33, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I say delete the redirect. Nigger is a common slang term, we know that, mad is a common adjective, both are usually pejorative attributes given to people, I don't see what's special about using them together. Plus it's an unnecessarily unfortunate association for "mad nigger" to redirect to the bio of a black man. BigBlueFish 15:08, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with BigBlueFish, this is an inappropriate article to say the least.--Andeee 17:01, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Daniel Sergiacomi

This article should not be deleted as he is a local figure that many people are aware of the in region. Many people see him as a good role model for his charity and leadership skills. He should not be deleted as he is a notable person and not many people today are as worthy. The article possibly just needs to expanded and or improved.

  • Being a good role model and having leadership skills does not make one WP-worthy. Wickethewok 02:46, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Charles Betts Galloway

This article should not be deleted. Its creator, User:Pastorwayne is doing great work creating dozens of articles on Methodist bishops, and this appears to be a stub for one of those -- see the list of bishops at List of Bishops of the United Methodist Church, where "Charles Betts Galloway" is listed and linked.

The stub appears to have been saved prematurely and not tagged as a stub, which is bad practice, but it is almost certainly the start of a genuine article. A quick look at User:Pastorwayne's contrib history will show what he is doing. --BrownHairedGirl 17:51, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

yes, BrownHairedGirl is correct. It is the beginning of an article. Sorry if I violated some important rule by not putting everything there right away. However, what's the big hurry to delete, anyway? If you can have a little patience, I'll fill it out. Thanks! Pastorwayne 18:11, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Johnson, Christopher Amos

Do not delete this article please. It is in progress. Knowing Christopher Amos Johnson personally, he has done quite a bit of work in reviving the importance of the Pipe Organ. He has competed and won approximately a dozen competitions and is nationally known amongst the organist community. As his life continues, other people will document important highlights which are relevant to the musical community. Please remove the tag marking it for deletion. This is to be a promotion of a new take on an old art. C. A. Johnson 21:29, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It appears that someone with the username C. A. Johnson knows someone named Christopher Amos Johnson personally! What a fluky coincidence. · rodii · 22:36, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I didn't abandond it like the template says, I simply was interupted. I've finished it now, so I hopw it looks better. (I'v also moved it, so it is corect in stating that anybody can put there "questions" down)

Shrek 4

This movie doesn't exist and hasn't been announced yet. The article should not exist.


Actually it should exist because IMdB has it on their site as existing at http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0360985/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.163.118.161 (talkcontribs)

The link you provided is about Shrek 4-D and not Shrek 4, I havn't heard anything about Shrek 4, so i think the article shouldn't exist aswell.

Freshprince 12:21, 2 April 2006 (UTC) [reply]

Perhaps make it a redirect to Shrek 4-D.

Lord Sunday

I don't think this meets the criteria for a speedy deletion judging by the article for Garth Nix. Perhaps an AfD notice would be better or even Prod. Speedy just seems a bit too quick. Lord Sunday seems to be the title of one of the books in the series that is mentioned, so it would probably be as significant as, for example, Lazarus Long.

Maddox knockoffs

It is a offloaded site of knockoffs for the notable webpage The Best Page in the Universe. The content is clearly not patent nonsense, therefore, not a candidate for speedy deletion--Nick Dillinger 03:04, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Dean Radin

This was nominated for deletion last year, but that was based on a misunderstanding. Dean Radin had written on the Talk page that he holds the copyright for the text in the article, and people thought he had started the Wikipedia article. But what he wanted to say was, "Someone copied this text into Wikipedia, but I hold the copyright. Please delete it". --Hob Gadling 13:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • oppose -- I'm not sure that's the case. There have been 3 posts all claiming to be a Dean Radin (see Talk:Dean Radin#Multiple postings claiming to be Dean Radin), and no verification as yet about the subject text. The original text looks like it was copied from a 2004 document that claims "This artikel Dean_Radin is licensed under the GNU free Documentation License. " This wasn't speedied within 48 hours (A8) and is on about 46 mirrors. --William Allen Simpson 15:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

[(Phil Brown (Politician))]

This entry provides information for a blank entry that has already been created for my name under the 2004 Canadian federal election results in Ottawa. Similar entries exist for other persons who were candidates in this election. Why would there be a blank page entitled "Phil Brown (Politician)" if the person in question is not able to provide some basic biographical information to identify who he is. It is unreasonable to have a candidates in a blank entry on Wikipedia without at least some information. People looking up candidates in previous elections should be able to find out more about them than just a name and a blank entry.

Christina Marie Ritter

This page shouldn't be deleted because this actress is on six other sites and that should be enough evidence. She's on IMdB even. I think that the people that keep deleting this page should give ample reasoning for why they feel it's vain,etc. because they delete without discussion. Doing that with other pages(without discussion), will truely make Wikipedia go nowhere in development. As it occured to me just now I thought of the fact that this user has proof, six web pages in fact, yet the deleting users have absolutely none whatsoever...that leads me to believe the deletion is not justified and therefore the proposal should be abolished. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.163.118.161 (talkcontribs)

Subject added to Wikipedia:List of potential subjects. I endorse the deletion. John Reid 07:35, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Note I've corrected the header to refer to the current article tagged for deletion. Subject was already deleted (and protected after recreate) as Christina Ritter. The author seems very determined. Due to the absolute failure to verify any of the credits, it's not clear if subject is an uncredited extra or has never been in front of a camera at all. Doesn't matter.

I don't believe that this page should be deleted. This is a page to fill in an open link from the Homeschooling page. It is designed to fill in information on both the woman and on her educational philosophy which is widely used by the home schooling families. The author will continue to work on it regularly and more information should be up within the week. (Eventually the woman and her philosophy may be split if enough information is compiled.)

PYCO

This article got deleted recently, with no delete vote, in less than 12 hours . This is annoying as it does not allow ppl to add their thoughts on the issue. PYCO is the explanation of an acronym used frequently in many IRC channels. It is just as notable as many other acronyms here on wikipedia, which alert people to the meanings of acronyms they are not familiar with. The terms existence is able to be confirmed by visiting the website, which is included in the wiki page. Several people have added their support for the pages existence. The article is not incoherent, please look up this words definition. It does supply meaningful content or history, if the editor would read the article they may understand this. --Nambio 02:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • This article is complete rubbish. Pictures of a flaccid and an erect penis have no place in the article for a start. Just because a handful of kids may have adopted this acronym on an IRC channel, doesn't mean it has enough notability to warrant an article in an encyclopedia. Delete it, and the sooner, the better. --Mal 03:19, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • If someone's "thoughts" are about something as profane (and, in my opinion, idiotic) as this PYCO issue, then he or she has much more to worry about than an article being deleted. Delete. -- Kicking222 20:18, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Konigun Ninjutsu

This article has been taken over by someone who refuses to let anyone who doesn't agree with his point of view to make lasting edits to the page. Every time someone changes something, he changes it back within the hour. He has created "rules" for the discussion, and routinely edits posts made by other people on the discussion page WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. The entire article is speculation by people who don't know anything about the topic, and it is all unverifiable. Some of the people in question are in the middle of civil litigation because of their actions on Wikipedia and other internet forums, so the article should at least be deleted until the legal matters are resolved. The entire article is slanderous and false, and the user TrueGamerOmega is almost singlehandedly assuring that it remains so. Myself and several other people have tried again and again to fix the article, even making it represent both points of view, but again and again it gets changed back to only represent TrueGamerOmega's views. It is not his personal page, and it's causing far more grief that it's worth. Delete it. 70.115.79.240 17:13, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Further proof of this. And I quote from the Konigun Ninjutsu discussion page "If this is not explained then I will remove the speedy deletion tag because it means you do not truly believe it should be changed. Remember, BE SPECIFIC!TrueGamerOmega 17:19, 5 April 2006 (UTC)" This user must be stopped! 70.115.79.240 17:40, 5 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The Game (game)

This should not be speedy deleted. Despite concerns about the game being unverifiable, a new source much better than all previous sources has been discovered. Furthermore, there is not strong "consensus" about The Game; every AfD debate has been pretty well split, as has the deletion review debate. It may be aggravating to have another debate about the same article, but speedying it would be out of process. Mangojuice 18:11, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Consensus is strongly in favor of deleting as can be proven through AFD and DRV both of which ended with a strong consensus to delete and protect the page as deleted.

Hollywood Undead

Currently tagged for both AfD and speedy deletion. Reposted after deletion (not by me), but repost is different than original. Suggest letting AfD run its course. It's an interesting case, the first big Myspace band. 4 millon hits in Google, yet no airplay. Probably fails WP:BAND, probably passes WP:WEB. --John Nagle 05:44, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Man, I have no idea what to say about that. That's quite the interesting case. You're probably absolutely correct- I'd think they fail band notability but pass Web notability. -- Kicking222 02:33, 18 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Turned out it only had about 200 real hits; the other 4 million were apparently because Myspace advertised it on Myspace, and millions of Myspace pages showed up as a hit. It's in AfD now. --John Nagle 04:59, 19 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Matt Brash

This article should not be deleted as the subject in question is relevant to the Village life in Stamford Bridge as a TV personallity that is visible to visitors to the village. This article is not self promoting. Instresting to note that within seconds of the page been flagged for speedy delete and me posting the original entry here TigerShark has deleted it. Looking at the deletion log, along with loads of other entries over the last hour or so... not even giving an opportunity to modify/change. The bulk of the text was taken from a site containing no copyright information, the reason given for the deletion 'breach of copyright' !!!

That was a terrible article. The writer failed to get around to mentioning that this guy is a presenter on Zoo Vet at large. Probably should not have been deleted. DJ Clayworth 17:27, 17 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As the author of the article, the main thing that was not taken into concideration, was the fact that the article was not yet completed, but just deleted regardless.

Tourette's Guy

This is a worthwhile addition... the site is visited by thousands daily, and monthly downloads are in the thousands of gigabytes.

There's another one, Tourettes Guy. Both have been voted AfD, non-notable.
