This is a non-notable, Japan-localised game which isn't sold or marketed abroad and the article is a stub which doesn't even include a plot and detailed info about it.
Summary ( some stuff I said may be repeated again):
- Game is marketed only in Japan and nowhere else
- Game's name contains a character non-standard to the US keyboard layout
- Non-notable, not mentioned in any game reviews, magazines, news, etc.
- Not enough information to verify existence (plot, rules are missing, article about the game's creator is not yet created)

- Weak delete - warey of WP:BIAS, I've had a scout around for sources to indicate notability. The Japanese Wikipedia has an article [1] but unfortunately does not cite any sources. Some of the more reliable Japanese gaming websites have directory entries for the game, but no substantial coverage ([2], [3] etc have basic information and "guest reviews".) Has probably had some magazine coverage but I think the article will have to go until something turns up. Marasmusine (talk) 12:19, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. Maybe Japanese sources exist, but if no EN:WPian can find them, this should be deleted as unverifiable, with nothing against recreating if/when sources are found (and appear at the JN:WP page).Yobmod (talk) 10:52, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Allan Park (witness) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
- Keep- I found this page organically, found the information on it useful, and would not have found it without the page. I'm sure plenty of other people could say the same, and if that isn't pertinent to "Wikipedia's guidelines", then perhaps the guidelines need revision. This page should stay. -dave, october 21 (wikipedia novice obviously) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Ranatoro (talk • contribs) 08:41, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - not notable, even if he were it's in connection with a single event. Contested prod. Otto4711 (talk) 23:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. His testimony is clearly notable, as it received abundant coverage. The article could be moved to Testimony of Allan Park. The rationale for a separate article for Allan Park's testimony is that O. J. Simpson murder case is already quite long at 35 kilobytes. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Please read Wikipedia:BLP#Articles_about_people_notable_only_for_one_event. 35 KB is not unduly long for an article and even if this were merged in its entirety it would add less than 5K to the article. Allan Park is not notable under our policies. Otto4711 (talk) 05:11, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- merge per logic given by Otto. Is preferable than moving since the article on the trial is not as of yet that long. JoshuaZ (talk) 00:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - At present, the article is incorrectly named. It is not about Park, but his testimony. There is no eveidence that his testimony was independently notable beyond the trial, so the info belongs in that article. However, the only referenced info in this article is that Park moved, which is immaterial to the trial. Nothing to merge. - Mdsummermsw (talk) 14:52, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- delete not independantly notable, and nothing to merge. If sources are found, then create a section on the trial's page (35kB is not too long).Yobmod (talk) 10:53, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable webcontent/fictional content. Ironholds (talk) 23:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This page should stay, because it describes a class on a popular game called AdventureQuest. Players could use it to get a heads up on what a Dragonslayer is. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Regocji (talk • contribs) 23:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Strong delete: pretty strongly violates WP:GAMETRIVIA and WP:NOT as it goes beyond understanding the basics of the game towards understanding advanced details of how to play. Also violates WP:V and WP:N because there are no reliable third-party sources on this topic. Randomran (talk) 17:17, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Content copied to StrategyWiki:AdventureQuest/Dragon Slayer. -- Prod (Talk) 00:24, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This page should stay on because classes are a very big thing in AdventureQuest, and this article describes the pros and cons of Dragonslayers. I play AdventureQuest, and if I had seen this article beforehand, it would have made things a lot easier on me. Regocji
- Merge This page could be merged with the AdventureQuest page. Regocji
Strong Delete. As not notable outside fictional world. Is nothing sourced to merge, and the title is unlikely search term due to dismbig parantheses.

questionable notability; advertisement -- Gmatsuda (talk) 23:33, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The guy is a musician, we can keep it if we find addittional sources. --Freewayguy 23:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. Two CDs, according to this: "In his off-hours from working with other bands, Evan recorded his first full-length, self-produced CD entitled Appreciation, under the band moniker Melodine. His band played locally, and was included in the Trampoline Records, Vol.1 compilation CD, the brainchild of Pete Yorn, Marc Dauer and Rami Jaffee. Shortly after, Evan released his second record entitled Out of Your Hands, which was distributed internationally by Atenzia Records."

- Comment: I don't remember off the top of my head what WP:MUSIC says, and I don't have time at the moment to look it up, but I could swear that self-produced CD's generally don't "count?" After all, I could self-produce a CD of my own and claim notabilty, and I can't play an instrument past a couple of songs on the piano and I can't sing without killing anything within earshot...including plants. :-) Does the Atenzia Records release satisfy WP:MUSIC?-- Gmatsuda (talk) 00:29, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Self produced don't count, no, they have to be 2 on the major indie/Big Four labels to count. Ironholds (talk) 00:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- So Carla Bley and Ani Difranco are not notable? That would be a sad conclusion to draw, and indicates your stated position is not sensible. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 00:21, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Self-produced CDs are fine as long as they are released by a major label or a notable independent one; self-released CDs generally are not. -- Eastmain (talk) 00:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep. The nominator is rather randomly proposing deletion, often speedy deletion, of clearly notable entertainment industry figures. Last week he proposed speedy deletion of an Oscar nominee. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 13:41, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not exactly true. Minos could be suggesting that the nomination is pointy. XF Law talk at me 20:02, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Pointy" is close, but it implies some sort of rhyme or reason behind the nominations, which I cannot discern. One fairly common theme seems to be that any article which does not contain derogatory information about its subject may be deleted as "advertising," but even that is not consistent. I was not joking about the Oscar (as well as other awards) nominee, where the justification was that the factually accurate, verifiable article appeared to have been created by someone affiliated with one of the many films the subject had worked on. Minos P. Dautrieve (talk) 00:19, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- That's not exactly true. Minos could be suggesting that the nomination is pointy. XF Law talk at me 20:02, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Could find no significant coverage of him in reliable sources. The Emmy claim is not backed up by the sources I found. The IMDB page for the awards in question verifies that The Guiding Light won an award for Outstanding Music Direction and Composition for a Drama Series, but the 14(!) names credited with the award do not include Frankfort.--Michig (talk) 15:38, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Clean-up the list, and find some sources.--Freewayguy 00:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's actually hard to find sources that confirm that anyone is an Italo-Brazilian. So far, the only things that I've found sources stating to be Italo-Brazilian are the AMX International AMX — which probably isn't really what the creators of this list were hoping for — Joao Francisco Muzzi and Felix Bernardelli — neither of which were on this list in the first place. The latter was in Category:Brazilians of Italian descent, however. Uncle G (talk) 20:22, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Therese Hughes[edit]
- Therese Hughes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Contested PROD. Ms. Hughes, a hairdresser, was awarded an MBE for specialising her services on cancer patients. According to the Order of the British Empire article, 1464 MBE may be awarded annually. So there are probably around 50,000 of them, which means, that having been awarded it, cannot prove notability on its own. Since there is no substantial coverage about her in reliable sources other than a few reports of her now being an MBE, the article's subject lacks notability. Gunnar Hendrich (talk) 23:13, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom, fails WP:HAIRDRESSER guidelines as well. JBsupreme (talk) 23:24, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep Members of orders of chivalry are inherently notable. Blueboy96 04:04, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. I disagree that an MBE by itself is automatically notable. A CBE yes, but MBEs and OBEs are pretty commonplace and often granted for worthy but very mundane achievements. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:16, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak Keep - prior to the awarding of the MBE, there was this article. More coverage would sway me from the weak position. -- Whpq (talk) 14:09, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete. MBE's are clearly not inherently notable, per the nom; they can be given purely for local government or charity work, stuff that would never be written about (ie noted) outside of local press. There are simply too many of them to be notable. If other sources appear showing this particular MBE holder is notable, then i'd be ok with keeping.Yobmod (talk) 11:02, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Bringing this to AfD instead of PROD because it's not clear-cut. From the sources, it appears there's been a bit of buzz about this, as one would expect with this family. However this indicates shooting has not started and that a final title has not been determined. While a film at such a stage would not be notable, we don't have a similar guideline for television that I can find.
So, is the buzz alone enough for notability, or should we wait until shooting begins for an article? Fabrictramp | talk to me 21:12, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- A quick cleanup for any COI or advertspeak is all this article needs. The notability of something is not defined by how long ago something existed, nor by how long it lasted. The zine helped to spawn a notable and influential underground music scene, sources are present in the article, and there was absolutely nothing remotely "pornographic" about its content unless you're in the "any mention whatsoever of homosexuality is inherently pornography" camp of belief — and Wikipedia kowtowing to that interpretation of reality would violate WP:NPOV.

Since no evidence is given of the publication of his research papers in a reputable academic journal, I am unable to judge their merit; they could merely be typescipts sitting in his desk.

And while the article seems to be about air traffic control in Europe, it's actually — common approach to be applied by Research and Development organisations in support of the development and validation of operational Air Traffic Management (ATM) applications — about some kind of management theory for air traffic control.

The result was delete as unverifiable. Editors have been unable to find any sources at all. As a last-ditch check, I tried to find some sources myself, and couldn't find a thing. The explicit statement by the article's creator, 888vbox888 (talk · contribs), that there are no sources is the final nail in the coffin. This is not what Wikipedia is for, 888vbox888.

- Delete per above. --Salix (talk): 14:36, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge to Collatz conjecture. For the benefit of those who will wonder what the discussion is about, Collatz described an operative procedure starts with "if a number is even then divide it by 2, if a number is odd then multiply it by 3 and add 1"; eventually, you will reach the number 1, after which the sequence "4, 2, 1" repeats infinitely. The conjecture is that no matter what positive integer you start with, you will eventually reach one; however, the conjecture remains unproven. What's described here as "oneness" is the number of steps it takes to reach the number 1, and a link is given to suggest that that pattern can't be predicted. Thus, for numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, the number of steps is 3, 4, 7, 2 and 5 respectively. Mandsford (talk) 00:05, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

TTN, I don't know what you were thinking at that time, but if you thought he was 'not' notable and the article contained 'no' original research, think again, because he is one of the most famous names associated with the PS2 and PS3 by his series and there are many game sites, reviews and news that speak strongly for the game series and that it is impossible not to have seen any mention of Ratchet and Clank - ever!, (basically, anything good about Ratchet and Clank on it speaks for itself and the series. unless you don't know what a PS2 or a PS3 is.Please, please do a bit more research and have a neutral point of view before you slap that ugly deletion discussion template on the page - Typing 'Ratchet and Clank' into Google brings a lot of positive reviews, praise and the like about the series.I have no intention of harm or offence, butplease don't express your opinion or attitude against Ratchet or his associated game series.Sorry for the lengthy vote, but thank you.

- Redirect to game series page. I am a huge fan of the R&C game series, but I will easily admit that the depth of coverage of the fictional side of this is very limited due to lack of usable sources. This page basically restates the plot of each game in the series and has nothing about the character's developement (again, something I've never seen when looking through sources) or critical reception, and what does need to be stated is already in the main series article. --MASEM 11:58, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect without reliable third-party sources, this can't meet WP:N or WP:V. Mind you, this character probably has at least a few mentions out there.

Christian Meister[edit]
- Christian Meister (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
Reason: Delete Total lack of notability. Subject has never held any political office and his sole political achievement to date has been being one of a thousand candidates in the 2003 California governors election, where he got a total of 2 votes (not a typo). Meister has not received significant press coverage. The main coverage in the local paper has been to say Meister is 'is utterly unqualified to be sheriff.' [11] According to notability guidelines for politicians (wp:politician) he isn't notable enough for an article. And most of his vague information that can be found is from his own campaign site. Nothing from NPOV sites. Niteshift36 (talk) 17:37, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Wow, talk about a nonnotable person: if every candidate for little local offices were notable, our biographical notability guidelines would be turned on their heads. Nyttend (talk) 20:53, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Do Not Delete This person is a legitimate and legal candidate (his name is on the official Lee County ballot for the upcoming election). Those who are seeking the deletion of the article about him are doing so because they are aligned with his political opponent. His political qualifications have no bearing on whether or not he is notable. The fact that he is an official candidate on the ballot makes him sufficiently notable. In addition, the fact that he is running against a politician (Sheriff Mike Scott) who is currently the center of a national brouhaha over his use of Barack Obama's middle name (Hussein) during a political rally for Sarah Palin, makes Mr. Meister nationally notable as the sole challenger against this incumbent. This is no longer a "little local election" matter. Mr. Meister is now part of a national news story. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.31.226 (talk) 04:24, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- If you look at the notability standards for politicians, you will see that being a candidate is NOT one of the standards. Actually being an officeholder IS. Meister has never been elected to any office. And Meister is not getting any notability on his own. His notability, which is not national (only local papers), is based on someone else, not on his accomplishments.

Seems to fail WP:N. A quick Google search shows no particular mention outside something about one of the voice actresses. All content edits were done by what appears to be the writer. ♫ Melodia Chaconne ♫ (talk) 14:44, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- although i can see melodia's point that this has been put up by the writer, it is not self publicizing but rather a simple factual account of an event.
- i have seen dozens of far worse examples of this that have been extant for years (i generally suggest editing rather than extinction) it seems to me that this policy is not being carried out evenly and that is very easy for some people just to go round tearing down other people's work - if it had not been for my careful disambiguation, melodia's interest in circus music would not have even led her here - no-one else seems to think the article inappropriate and deletion rather that reworking seems a bit harsh as a first step - perhaps she does not consider the work of lesser-known artists worthy of inclusion here or perhaps i am mistaken in thinking wikipedia a democratic forum. i hope melody's articles stand up to equal scrutiny - i shall have fun looking - the use of english grammar on her talk page suggests that there is plenty of scope for improvement.
- i agree that this article may not be of interest to great number of people but that is not the point of wikipedia - anyone interested in british radio drama that is not mainstream will tell you that it is a struggle to find online information regarding audio theatre not output by the bbc

I waited quite a while before listing it on AFD, and if I'm wrong, others will note it. To ME it seems like someone trying to get their unnotable work on WP -- in fact, it could probably have been speedy'd, but I skipped that step since I knew you'd probably remove it right away. And if you're going to call someone out on their grammar, using horrid capitalization isn't the best idea.

WP:BLP violation. You can check in Japanese or in English and you won't find any non-trivial sources in reliable publications to establish notability because she and her family had specifically asked the Japanese government to remain anonymous and they respected her wishes. A research body, however, dug until they discovered her name and age and published it over the Internet. As a marginally (if it all) notable figure, WP:BLP recommends deletion in this case, to respect the privacy of the individual. Even if there were no BLP issues, however, this article would still fail a basic notability test because, as I mentioned, there are no non-trivial reliable sources out there. Cheers, CP 14:26, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. That's actually not factually accurate. The government of Japan published this woman's name online in 2004 and earlier, and she was featured in local Japanese newspapers in 2001 when she was 105. Beginning in 2006, the Japanese government decided to ask individual persons before publishing their names in the annual Japan lists. This person is not listed by name since that time. However, that does not mean the earlier information is not publicly available...by the concept of "ex post facto" you can't put the cat back in the bag, so to speak.Ryoung122 02:30, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Actually, the practice of listing centenarians anonymously started earlier than that. In fact, if you check the 2003, 2004, and 2005 lists, you will find a number of anonymous centenarians on all the lists. In this case, this person was publicly identified in 2003 and 2004 but was kept anonymous from 2005 onward. There are several other cases where specific individuals were publicly identified in some years but not in others, but the practice was in place long before 2006. TML (talk) 06:46, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I respect your opinion on this, however the article provides for information about the supercentenarian.

Anyone who's major-league is notable. If a supercentenarian gets press coverage outside their own local community, then notability can be established.

His college bio reveals that one of his book won the "History of Science Society's Pfizer Prize for best book in the history of science in 1991", which is not enough to make him notable. AmaltheaTalk 12:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I just put up a stub because it's out of my area of expertise (I already messed up the article title, it's probably a good thing I stopped when I did). I knew the article was in poor shape, but I was hoping others would WP:Assume Good Faith and pitch in to strengthen it rather than just kicking it off the site. Maybe you're both from the banking industry and can attest that this "disruptive technology" claim is an exaggeration, or maybe you're lost like me, and we just need to get this article in front of those who can actually help it. Either way, it's obviously not mere promotion, or someone would've spent more than 5 seconds setting up the world's ugliest and least helpful stub. --Thomas B♘talk 16:58, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- In more direct response to VG's first point: I do not believe it is a narrow technology covered by a patent. This is outside my expertise, but I'm trying to read up, and I get the sense RDC is a generalized term for a class of technologies. RDC seems to cover any service which clears checks without transmitting their paper equivalents, but instead electronically with captured images of the original checks. The only article that discussed a patent did so because it was trying to warn banks that this group of technologies poses patent infringement risks, you might be using something you think is just a generalized technology in this area, when actually it is not. This would explain why "it's not even clear even if they're talking about the same patent," because they aren't talking about a patent, they are talking about a group of related technologies that emerged after the Check21 legislation permitting electronic clearing for banks. That's why the second article doesn't discuss DataTreasury, the company's not generally relevant. --Thomas B♘talk 17:07, 13 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- List of unusual animal anecdotes (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
While this list does not fit in a clear deletion category (WP:INDISCRIMINATE comes closest, and WP:LISTCRUFT is an essay), I don't believe it actually is the kind of list that fits Wikipedia. It is basically unlimited, the only restriction being that it has to involve animals. It explicitly encourages primary sources, which is not the best idea either. Listing and reading anecdotes is amusing but not the purpose of an encyclopedia. Fram (talk) 09:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete this is the kind of stuff that goes in Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. It's just indiscriminate cruft. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • (Broken clamshells • Otter chirps • HELP) 12:45, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- This seems to be an impressively referenced compendium of loosely related information. Some kind of better organization might be found for it, or moved to more specialized lists. I note that there seems to be no discussion on the talk page with regard to either ways to make the list more discriminating or break it down into more easily defined subjects, like list of animals in battle, list of animals rescuing people, and so forth. I understand the concern, but deletion seems somewhat drastic for a first step, and AfD is not cleanup. Provisionally keep this article. - Smerdis of Tlön (talk) 13:56, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete our articles aren't meant to be collections of trivia. This is altogether unencyclopedic: can you imagine Britannica ever including such an article, even if they had limitless resources? There's no need for discussion on the talk page: the very idea of an article on this subject is way too broad, and no talk page discussion can rescue that problem. Nyttend (talk) 20:58, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I've linked a few articles to this entry because I think it does a nice job collecting some related events spread out across Wikipedia. Looks like there is some trivia that needs to be trimmed but I think its deletion would significantly remove information from Wikipedia which seems like a good litmus test. If a list doesn't add value, it should go. This one seems like it does. It's got 100+ sources of weight; why doesn't someone improve what they don't like about it instead of getting rid of the whole thing? 216.65.215.213 (talk) 22:14, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "Improving what I don't like about it" = "getting rid of the whole thing". ;-) Fram (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep This entry is an impressively researched piece regarding the importance of animals to historical events. The title should be changed to be more specific to its content though. Zukin (talk) 02:31, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you actually reading the same article? How is Da Vinci believing in unicorns " the importance of animals to historical events"? How is the circus elephant Hanksen important to historical events? How is (fill in 99% of the anecdotes) important to historical events? Bucephalos having a city named after him, that is an historical event. I am hard pressed to see much more of these in the article. Schrodinger's Cat is obviously important, but then again, I fail to see how this thought experiment is an animal anecdote... Fram (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep While this page is very much a work-in-progress, I believe that deleting it is unwarranted. Miltthetank (talk) 02:54, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I cannot fathom why this should be deleted rather than improved. Because you believe it is somewhat vague, it is unsalvageable? Dotingmatrix (talk) 17:35, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Somewhat vague? No, completly undefined. A list of everything remotely to do with animals, no matter if it are sculptures of animals, hunting of animals, thought experiments with animals, deification of animals, things that happen to animals in literature, ... Yes, this list is completely unsalvageable and acvtually a disgrace for any encyclopedia except uncyclopedia. Being sourced is not sufficient to turn something into an encyclopedic article; being on an encyclopedic subject is equally important. A "list of X" in general is a good subject if and only if "X" is in itself a clearly defined subject of research. Fram (talk) 08:15, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- What's more alarming is calling an article a disgrace and having a whole history of trying to delete rather than improve. That's the essence of a collaborative encyclopedia. I understand what you're saying, however, the edit history and discussion page of the article don't show any evidence of a problem with irrelevant additions or undefinability. Appears to be working nicely. Dotingmatrix (talk) 17:35, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The people interested in contributing to the article do not see the problem: this does not mean that there is no problem. People who do think that the article is problematic may not be inclined to improve it, preferring to spend their time on more productive things. Apart from that, please comment on content, not on contributors, and if you do comment on the contributor, try to be correct. I have a history of trying to delete things I don't consider suited for Wikipedia, and of trying to improve things I do consider suitable. To suggest otherwise is incorrect. But of course it takes more time to go through thousands of edits than to check all three edits you have made, all of them to this discussion. Don't lecture people on improving things when you have not contributed anything yet please... Fram (talk) 18:36, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete on the basis of WP:TRIVIA which states "Sections with lists of miscellaneous information (such as "trivia" sections) should be avoided as an article develops. Such information is better presented in an organized way." A well-researched and documented trivia page, to be sure, but a trivia nonetheless. I appreciate that the author has taken the time to do the sourcing and citations that should be part of any Wikipedia article, and it is copiously researched. And yes, it seems harsh to delete something well-documented when there are so many pages on Wikipedia that aren't at all documented. Finally, I commend the author for his candor-- this is indeed a collection of "unusual animal anecdotes". But where is it going? What's the point, other than assembling some amusing and unrelated anecdotes in chronological order? It reminds me of the old Ripley's Believe It or Not books of later years, which consisted of something like 128 days worth of columns in a 128 page paperback. Entertaining, yes, encyclopedic, no. Mandsford (talk) 00:35, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I totally get where you're coming from but, to answer your question, it's probably going in the same direction as the List of unusual deaths which has become an intelligent, organized piece due to hard work on the part of editors. Also, the Trivia rules, I think, apply more towards trivia sections in individual articles. Lists like this provide a service by collecting encyclopedic knowledge that would be strange on its own but, when aggregated, has a purpose. I could easily see myself using this as a reference tool were I writing a report on animals, looking into the anthropological roots of blood sports, etc. Miltthetank (talk) 06:03, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Apart from regular editor User:Ihcoyc (provisional keep), all keeps are from an IP, a very irregular editor (User:Zukin, 4 edits in 2007 and 2008), User:Miltthetank (only 6 edits, only 3 in 2008, all to this AfD), and User:Dotingmatrix (all 3 edits are to this AfD).

Fram (talk) 20:08, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Ah, found it; you are a "friend"[39] of Ryan Holiday, the main contributor to the article at hand. Improbable that this is a coincidence... Fram (talk) 20:14, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Could you please be clearer? I'm not certain exactly what you're insinuating. Miltthetank (talk) 19:54, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- You caught me, I'm his 'friend' on digg. All I am saying is that this list isn't trivia, these are historical facts that have value. The pop culture ones, like Hugh Hefner's zoo and the scientific name for giraffes coming from Caesar - those aren't trivial. They're educational, if anything. As for your strange insinuations, Ryan Holiday is a fairly well-known blogger and I saw this AFD on delicious. I know this isn't a democratic vote, I'm just saying that this doesn't fit Wikipedia's definition of trivia at all. In fact, getting rid of it will probably result in an increase of trivia on other individual pages. Miltthetank (talk) 01:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Comment I can see where this information might be organized by different types of animals, though it still gets into an overwhelming amount of trivia. Consider all the "good dog!" news stories that regularly appear in the press (if your Sunday comics has Marmaduke, there's a feature there called "Dog Gone Funny"). Certainly, the can all be sourced, but which dog stories are the most significant? Anything would be better than the current arrangement, which seems to follow the one-damn-thing-after-another view of history. Mandsford (talk) 15:07, 21 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep These: [40], [41], [42] all show some real world notability to the character. Specifically, her death. Otherwise, the article needs cleanup, not deletion. Umbralcorax (talk) 16:38, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment. I'm not convinced that those are reliable sources. In any case they are more about the show and the actor than the character. Such information would be more appropriate in NCIS (TV series). If by "cleanup" you mean "remove the plot summary and original research" there would be little or nothing left to justify a separate article. The character only needs a one paragraph summary in List of NCIS characters. McWomble (talk) 06:28, 19 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, it's a notable character and WP:N is not a policy. And the character only exists in the series, so it's impossible to for it be worthy of notice "indepedent of its series." And stop stealing TTN's AFD nominations. --Pixelface (talk) 03:45, 22 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete Some sourcing exists on gnews but it is pretty weak tea. Lots of series reviews/previews that namecheck the character and actress and move along.

The originating article and all of the linked ones consist entirely of game guide information for various drinking games. None of these articles contain any information of an encyclopedic nature. They include either no references or references to rules websites for drinking games. All of the articles would need a fundamental rewrite to become encyclopedic in nature. The work could still be placed on a drinking rules wiki, just not wikipedia. None of the articles make any real assertions of notability. By contrast articles which I'm not nominating including: never have I ever doesn't go into rules, but has marginal notability at best because of some pop culture references; or Boat race (game) which at least has some history/etymology sections.

- Comment: My bad, Prod was for 2 days. Guidelines per WP:Corp state: An organization is generally considered notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. As this is a music label you can somewhat "reverse" and look at the artists and per WP:Music one of the notability guidlines for a musician sates: an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable. In this case MJ Hibbett seems to be somewhat notable for a novelty song, however he also owns the label and seems to be a weekend warrior when to comes to being a musician. The only other valid blue link that relates to this label is to the Plans & Apologies article. This would not qualify as "an independent label with a history of more than a few years and a roster of performers, many of which are notable."

- Very weak keep per reasons by Soundvisions1. Only one Gnews hit.[43] One book at least mentions the label.[44] McWomble (talk) 08:46, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment:I was not arguing for a keep, I was saying the company is non-notable and they do not meet the criteria for WP:Corp and, if you bring it into music, they have, maybe, one semi-notable artist which also happens to own the label. The "book" you mention is an alphabetized listing of indy record labels by decades. That does not come close to meeting the definition of "Significant coverage" (sources address the subject directly in detail) or other guidlines in the WP:GNG. I am talking about the label - not the artists on the label. I find small mentions of the label in regards to "Artist B has a new single on the label" or listing of releases. And I want to stress again that MJ Hibbett owns this business, so a review of his music or an interview with him about his music will of course mention his business. This label does not meet notability criteria on its own, certainly not of an having "a roster of performers, many of which are notable", and if it were not for the Hibbetts own music there would be almost no articles "Independent of the subject" that mention this business. I think one has to, in this case, apply the same criteria you would for a musician what would be "notable". Articles where the musician talks about a release might only be good to verify there was a release, but not to how notable it was/is. In which case guideline number one of WP:MUSIC#Criteria for musicians and ensembles says a musician may be considered notable if they have been the subject of multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent from the musician/ensemble itself and reliable. The guidlines for WP:NALBUMS say for a release to be notable it "must meet the basic criteria at the notability guidelines, with significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." As a business Artists Against Success does not meet any of those criteria. Soundvisions1 (talk) 12:27, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Field of view (image processing)[edit]
- Field of view (image processing) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
This article is a content fork of angle of view; different name for identical concept, but written from the POV of optical instumentation instead of more generic cameras. The author agreed to a merge, but then backed it out when I pressed him to work on integrating it better, in terms of style and content. To the extent that there is new content here, it remains welcome in angle of view, but not just by inserting this article. He needs to actually work on figuring out what here is new, and merge it in. Dicklyon (talk) 04:13, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment Surely this is a content/editorial issue, not a deletion issue? if merge is the right thing, then the contents aren't suitable for deletion? MadScot (talk) 04:32, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Yes, it's a merge issue; it was a new article, then it was merged, sort of, then forked again; I thought maybe letting the author know that the fork would be deleted would help encourage him to do the merge. But isn't content forking a typical reason for article deletion? Dicklyon (talk) 04:55, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Mergehese articles under one or the other name. A bit of research is needed to determine the most commonly used name. Each article starts by saying they are basically the same. No deletion of referenced material is required, since the subject, by either name, is notable. Edison (talk) 04:49, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- The field of view name is taken for another use already (visual as opposed to camera oriented); the concept described in detail in this new article is totally in terms of angle, of a camera, and the angle of view article has long covered that concept, so there's no excuse for the new fork, and no reason to even consider a new name at this point.

Merge but where? There is yet another POV fork at Field_of_view. Field of view (image processing) seems to differ from Angle_of_view only by the bibliography an the fact that calculations are done in pixels; Field_of_view has less math, and seems to be "biological camera" rather than "technological camera" perspective, but it's the same thing otherwise. VG ☎ 09:41, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It does actually have some novel content in how to compute an angle of view from measurements of images of test equipment. But it's done in a cryptic and belabored way; I'm willing to help clean it up, if we can get the author to cooperate and start working on it; but taking it back out to a separate article was a step backwards; we need to delete that and work on stuff that's in the history now of angle of view.

Not notable. There does not appear to be enough reliable, third-party published sources with a reputation for fact-checking and accuracy to maintain an independent article on this topic. -- Suntag ☼ 10:21, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Including non-notable artists is not part of wikipedia's aims: we don't include every person on the planet all because they have all drawn a picture before.

- Comment. Four books[45][46][47][48] which would appear to be reliable sources mention a Ralf of/de Bracebridge in the 13th century. The only references to "Sir Ralf of Bracebridge" in 975 appear to be self-published by the Kingsbury family.[49] McWomble (talk) 13:54, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment - It's customary, when assessing genealogical claims in Britain, to be extremely skeptical of claims of lineage going back before 1066. in this case, that definitely applies. Where are these modern Bracebridges based? AlexTiefling (talk) 14:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Temporary Keep- the author appears to be a respected contributor of some note, having created a number of (apparently quite serious) articles, which have undergone independent editing (many on Chess). I am too unversed on the family to be sure of the facts, but if the premise is hoaxiness, I think more faith should be given to an apparently in good faith user. Can we refer it to some sort of sub-group of experts on this area? If they decide it's rubbish, then fineJJJ999 (talk) 00:00, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- It's just plain wrong. There are no "Sirs" to be found in Anglo-Saxon England, and any book by an amateur genealogist claiming that there were is entirely untrustworthy, not that amateur genealogy is to be trusted at any time. Angus McLellan (Talk) 13:20, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I think you're misunderstanding the point JJJ. I don't believe we've claimed the editor who created the article is perpetrating a hoax or otherwise acting in bad faith. The author who wrote the self-published book upon which the article is based is the one with the credibility problems. Unless they are the same person,which would be a coi , then it's inaccurate to view this as besmirching the editor's integrity. The biggest issue is that a self-published genealogy book someone wrote about their own family is the only proof of any kind found for the subject's existence. There's no way to verify the meager assertion of notability in the article, due to vanity press pubs not being reliable sources. Factual errors strongly point to why the reference shouldn't be given any credibility though.Horrorshowj (talk) 19:47, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I understand the reasons, but is anyone here an expert on this region? If this is in good faith, then maybe it should be refered to people who are experts on this sort of thing, to see if it can be salvaged. Not everything exists on google, and there doesn't seem to be any dispute about good faith. Sure, it may need mass changes because of the problems you cite, but that doesn't mean there is no truth in it, nor that the person may not necessarily be notable within the community (the article would simply need to mention that the history of this notable figure was dubious and exaggerated)JJJ999 (talk) 22:49, 18 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I'm an amateur historian with an interest in royal and noble genealogy, and I've studied the era in moderate detail. I really don't think this person existed. If another, more reliable source can be found asserting both existence and notability, I'll change my vote. But saying that a person only attested in one, unreliable source might be notable despite not being backed by any WP:RS at all seems tenuous. AlexTiefling (talk) 10:10, 20 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep An airline with 11 large aircraft in operation for 12 years ought to pass notability. I added a ref to the NYTimes reporting the airline shutting down - if the NYTimes notices you go out of business, that probably says you were notable. The redlinks are because either the aricle's author misnamed the airports or the airport article has been renamed since this article was created. They'll be easy to fix. MadScot (talk) 02:25, 17 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There is an assertion of notability, Professional Baseball player and perrenial allstar, but I can't find any sources to back up the claims made.

- Comment: Thanks for letting me know on my talk page; I originally spun this article out from the main one on the show itself, as it was clogging up the main article body.

- Nina Van Horn (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) (delete) – (View AfD)
This character does not establish notability independent of its series. Without coverage in reliable third party sources, it is just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research. TTN (talk) 16:07, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak delete Hits on Gnews exist for the text string of the character name and show name, but a lot of them (I haven't searched every one) look like reviews of the show and mentions of who plays the character. The same story goes for Books. A lot of those books cover the actress and note this as a role of hers. We are looking for significant coverage of the character. But, sourcing exists for the show, so it might be possible that one of those covers the character in detail. I would rather that we not take 1-2 sources covering the show, add a bunch of editor interpreted citations to the TV show and make a pseudobiographical article, because those end up violating WP:NOT, WAF and OR anyways.

- Weak delete Like Nina van Horn, sourcing exists, but mainly in the form of episode and show reviews that don't cover the character specifically or significantly. I will note that this character gets fewer hits than van Horn (though that may or may now mean anything). This is the closest we come to significant critical coverage in the books hits. Not sure if it is sufficient. So, the hits are out there. Someone may be able to find one and make a decent article, but there is an equal chance that each of those hits provide material that isn't helpful in making an article for the fictional character. Protonk (talk) 17:36, 12 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
