Astrada

This was tagged for speedy deletion as vanity, but it doesn't fit any criteria IMO. What happens to surnames these days? Move to wiktionary maybe. Kappa 00:05, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Estrada (which I just turned from a redirect to Joseph Estrada to a disambig for about a half dozen Estradas in Wikipedia) - name is apparently a variation thereof. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 01:34, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
• Delete, don't redirect misspellings, as the CSD criteria for redirects is to delete typos. RickK 04:22, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, concur with Rick. Megan1967 05:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Estrada. Variations on surnames which are actually in use, as opposed to misspellings which aren't in use, should be included. Cf Scottish clan - each has dozens of variations (Bean, Bain, McBean, McBain, Macbean, Macbain etc). --bainer 05:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete or Transwiki. →Iñgōlemo← ^talk 04:39, 2005 May 18 (UTC)
• Delete NO REDIRECT. They guy who created the page is probably from Argentina, but Astrada is a lastname, that is true (Carlos Astrada, This Team's coach). To have an article about a lastname, at least of one like this, doesn't seem smart. Yet, do not redirect to Estrada, cause they are 2 diff. lastnames. --Marianocecowski 16:57, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Obvious vanity.—Trevor Caira 00:18, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. James F. (talk) 00:34, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, obviously. — mark ✎ 00:45, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. vanity. Nateji77 01:00, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Userfy if at all possible. I have developed the following theory on vanity pages: they're mostly people who are (a) getting their feet wet in Wikipedia, (b) don't know the criteria for notability, and (c) would be just as happy being able to present the information posted here on a user-page, if they were offered that opportunity before having their contribution chewed up and spat out in the vfd process. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 01:53, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
  • Original page was by an IP user, not a logged-in user. I don't think it's appropriate to userfy to an IP, though I generally agree with you about vanity pages created by logged-in users. (Delete this.) android↔talk 02:00, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Agreed (hence the qualification, "if at all possible"). I'd go so far as to suggest we make a vanity page template that advises the poster that they have the option of making this a user page, and gives them a few days to get to it before we vfd the page. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 02:23, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
• Delete. Not notable. LouisRivera 02:54, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, if you want to create such a template, by all means do so, but they have five days to Userfy the article if they want, we don't need to keep vanity articles lying around just hoping somebody does something with them. RickK 04:24, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Ethiotrans

Advertisement, vanity article, attempt at googlebombing ethiotrans.com. Along with the creation of this article, a paragraph was added to Amharic language, informing us that "You can see the list of languages what Ethiotrans is offering by going its web site http://www.ethiotrans.com". — mark ✎ 00:44, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, It's a copyvio and marked as such. Megan1967 04:28, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I suspected so but then I guess it's the owner of the website who put this here, making it less of a copyvio and more of a self-promo. Either way, it should be deleted. — mark ✎ 09:47, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Andrew Keith Arulanandom

Non-notable. "Not known for any major achievement." I'd say Userfy but he wasn't logged in when he made the page. Nateji77 01:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 01:25, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. If he had a login account we could at least attempt to help him userfy, but that's not the case.EvilPhoenix
• Comment. I sent an email to the address I found on the referenced webpage suggesting he userfy. Up to him now - if he pops up, good, if not, delete. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 02:31, 2005 May 13 (UTC)

The result of the debate was merge all of these starships with List of Starfleet ship classes. Sjakkalle 08:26, 20 May 2005 (UTC)

Hokule'a class starship, Mediterranean class starship, Chimera class starship and Andromeda class starship

A page for a Star Trek starship class that never appeared on screen and was never even mentioned in any episode. AlistairMcMillan 01:29, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Would seem to be canonical, has entry on ST's official site. According to that, it was in the TNG episode "Datalore". Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:06, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Never seen on screen and never mentioned. A starship was mentioned in that episode that fans have now decided is Hokule'a class. That is all. AlistairMcMillan 02:41, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • BTW The website content appears to be based on The Star Trek Encyclopedia, which itself is not considered canon.

• Keep. The entry matches other entries in the Star Trek area, though as yet is unlinked in the list of star trek ship classes article. It's brief, but if within Star Trek canon, might as well be kept. EvilPhoenix
  • It isn't canon. AlistairMcMillan 02:42, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Merge and redirect to some kind of list of minor Star Trek starship classes. RJFJR 02:23, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge all minor Trek ships. More useful to users that way anyway. -- BDAbramson ^thimk 02:26, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
• Delete as fanfic, as Alistair suggests. Radiant_* 08:54, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • (if I understand correctly, not canon implies fanfic, which in turn implies WP:VAIN) Radiant_* 11:07, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment - "Canon" is being used in a different context, here; it's mentioned in published works (so it's not fanfic), but those works aren't strictly considered canon by ST fans. It's a fine difference, but it keeps these from being fanfiction. A Man In Black 09:44, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. PedanticallySpeaking 16:25, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to List of Starfleet ship classes, per WP:FICT. No significance outside of fictional milieu, basically minor trivia from non-canonical sources. Barno 18:25, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with List of Starfleet ship classes, as per WP:FICT. --Carnildo 19:20, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Prostrate

Dictionary definition, should be moved to wiki dictionary if it is not already there --  B.d.mills  (Talk) 01:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment User attributed it to American Heritage Dictionary; don't know if Wiktionary allows copying of definitions from other dictionaries (or if Wikipedia does). Fg2 02:15, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for pointing that out. No, it doesn't take copyright violations, and it doesn't even like people to rewrite definitions from other dictionaries, it prefers them to come up with their own definitions, to avoid propagating errors. Kappa 06:39, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Move. EvilPhoenix

• Delete. It's just a page with a VfD and Copyvio label on it. Could be speedily deleted. Harro5 01:23, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
  • The prodecure of adding a copyvio tag includes blanking the copyvio on the page. Kappa 06:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Don Plett

Appears to be a politician of no great import in Canada. Notability is borderline. Kelly Martin 01:31, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep - um, he's the president of the Conservative Party of Canada. This page, however, is a copyvio [2]. CDC (talk) 01:38, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Okay, I've now stubified this; the old copyvio version is here. CDC (talk) 01:46, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep CDC repaired the copyvio. A better article should one day fill out the stub. DoubleBlue (Talk) 01:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. You shouldn't remove the copyvio notice. --Spinboy 02:01, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• There never was a copyvio notice. CDC only pointed it out on this VfD page above. DoubleBlue (Talk) 02:15, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• How would one handle the copyvio if it never went through the copyvio process? Delete the history up to the copyvio? --Deathphoenix 03:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd take it an admin would be bold and do so, unless there was something else retrievable in the history. Samaritan 14:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and expand. Notable figure in Canadian politics. Capitalistroadster 02:25, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep in its non-copyvio form, per CDC (and thanks, CDC). --Deathphoenix 03:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep As a protest against the idea that notability should be important in VfD. Klonimus 04:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Well, we can't have articles about every single person in the world. They must've done something to warrant inclusion in an encyclopedia, right. 131.211.210.12 08:16, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • If a person's article is verifiable and NPOV, why not? DoubleBlue (Talk) 18:34, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Great Wikipedia Paper Shortage Klonimus 06:22, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for two reasons. It's a copyvio and copyright violation protocol should be followed, which calls for the new version to be written on the Temp page, and two, to counter Klonimus's extremism. RickK 04:26, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep in spite of the fact that Klonimus is in favor of it. --Angr/_comhrá 06:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but Klonimus should read WP:POINT and abide with it. Radiant_* 08:54, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as an important politician. Notability itself, for the record, can become very POV. --Jamyskis 11:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He's the president of the second-largest political party in canada, one that could form (<shudder>) the next government. Even if you think lack of notability is sufficient grounds for deletion, how could you think that he is non-notable? Ground Zero 14:11, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

In my defense, the article didn't state that he was anything other than a minor politician, and I don't profess to be an expert in Canadian politics. IMO, the notability of a subject should be evident from the article itself. The notable content was there, but it's buried all the way at the bottom -- normally notability is established early on. My mistake for not reading as deeply as I should. Kelly Martin 14:40, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. PedanticallySpeaking 16:26, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep to counter RickK's extremism. --SPUI (talk) 19:12, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This listing is clearly erroneous. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 01:16, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but you have to admit that the original article didn't cut to the chase. →Iñgōlemo← ^talk 04:45, 2005 May 18 (UTC)

I have now listed it at Copyright problems and put a copyvio template on it, as should have been done when the copyvio was first discovered. A new version can be written at Don Plett/Temp. RickK 04:58, May 14, 2005 (UTC)

• • Disputing this because I see no evidence of a copyvio in the latest version of the article. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 07:41, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I sent a message to CDC's talk page asking him to write it, but you cited him in your edit summary, so I think it's okay. --Deathphoenix 18:17, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

B.D.C.

This article is about a 'secret' organization. Since secret organizations can not be verified they are generally considered non-encyclopedic. Google hits=0 for most of the material (the acronym B.D.C. has several unrelated meanings), I tried several forms without success. Page was created by an anon and this is the IP's only edit.

Banana Wolfing

Original research, not encyclopedic. The term "banana wolfing" returns zero hits on google. There is little scientific evidence to support most of the article's claims, except for the statement "Bananas, being high in tryptophan, have the potential of being a relaxant." Thus, the rest of the article is original research. Since the tryptophan content of bananas is already mentioned in the tryptophan article, this article should be deleted. - Jersyko 02:34, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

List of surnames from smaller cultures

Hilarious. Not only is the title POV, but the list deserves a place on the list of shortest articles (entire text was "Spevack"). This either needs retitling and greatly extending, or getting rid of (and since we already have various lists of surnames by nationality, I'd favour the latter).

• Comment: At the risk of pedantry, I think that someone should point out that Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion#Articles point #1 reads Very short articles with little or no context.... It's an x not an n, and it's a significantly different concept. On the other hand, Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion#General point #1 reads No meaningful content or history (e.g. random characters). See patent nonsense.

Jacob Sanders

2005 British parliamentary candidate who came in 4th with 4.3% of the vote. The constituency itself was only notable in that the Labour majority was reduced, and the victor seems to be an unordinary MP. Delete. NatusRoma 03:56, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I think 4.3% is very good for a Green candidate in a national election. Kappa 07:24, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, every other politician seems to find his or her way into Wikipedia, so why not this guy? Jamyskis 12:03, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless evidence of stronger notability is provided. Losing candidates from major parties for a nation's highest office generally get enough detailed media coverage and general public attention to be notable. A fourth-place finisher from a minor party for an ordinary legislative seat, however, isn't encyclopedic unless there was some really major issue related to that candidate's involvement. No indication of that is in the article. Kappa continues campaign against notability with above vote; Don't disrupt Wikipedia to make a point. Barno 14:31, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: Fair enough, though Robert Kilroy-Silk made it into fourth place as well in his constituency, rather embarrassingly for him, yet he still warrants a place. In any case, it's your opinion and I respect that. Jamyskis 18:35, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Unlike Sanders, Kilroy was at one point a Labour MP, and appears to have been notable for more than just coming in fourth. The only other bit of trivia related to Jacob Sanders is that he's a nephew of American politician Bernie Sanders. I don't think those two facts warrant inclusion. NatusRoma 19:09, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Um hello? I'm saying 4.3% for a Green candidate makes him 'notable', since that's a criteria for some. I'd also be perfectly entitled to say "his candidacy is verifiable and of interest to users and should therefore be included regardless of the result". I'll remind you of wikipedia:assume good faith + wikipedia:no personal attacks. Kappa 18:50, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep Any politician who has stood in a national election is notable. -- Jonel 15:07, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Standing in a UK Parliamentary election is not actually that difficult (if you are willing to risk losing your deposit, as Mr Sanders has done), and Mr Sanders was neither extraordinarily successful or unsuccessful. Average Earthman 18:35, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. – Kaihsu 20:26, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
• Keep. Losing a parlimentary seat isn't quite notable, but the (trans-Atlantic) familial connections to other politicians pushes it to notability. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 21:18, 2005 May 13 (UTC)
• Keep. – mildly notable for his good share of the vote, but even so, I can't see any reason why standing in a parliamentary election does not justify an article. It's not that hard to do so, agreed, but then not that many people do it, and those that do often have other, interesting, attributes. Naturenet 21:21, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. It's a lost cause, but I have to protest at this notabilizing of everybody who ever ran for public office. Millions of people do this every year. Most of them have fewer accomplishments than are listed on our typical vanity page created by a high school sophomore. It's absurd that we reject successful businesspeople as "self-advertisers" and people with some community stature as "vanity", but carefully list every idiot who got 100 people to sign their candidacy petition! ---Isaac R 02:17, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Running for parliament is not the same as running for a local council, so "millions of people" doesn't apply to this case. The concept of "notable" should not get in the way of "verifiable and important to users". If wikipedia is doing its job of explaining national politics, it needs to cover these idiots minor party candidates. Kappa 06:40, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Can I just point out an error in Isaac R's comment? It's not 100 signatures needed to run for UK Parliament. It's ten. Oh, and 500 quid for the deposit. Oh, and you can't be bankrupt, a judge, a bishop, a peer or in the army. That's about it really. Average Earthman 10:42, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Sanders, however, also received the Green Party nomination for his office, if I understand the facts. Getting that nomination presumably took more than 10 signatures. This is still borderline notable IMO, but the family connection with a quite notable USA politician makes this entry interesting (should be expanded though). The fact politics "runs in the family" and so on. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:21, 2005 May 14 (UTC)
    • Who said anything about local elections? There are about a hundred national legislatures on this planet, with a collective membership of maybe 20,000. I guess I was overestimating when I said that millions run for these 20,000 seats every year, but it's gotta be in the high six figures. Is every single one of these people notable? Or are British politicians more notable than others? ---Isaac R 17:41, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete This wasn't a particularly good result even for a minor party candidate. Do we include every candidate at a UK general election in recent years? This must be thousands of people. If you vote to keep this, you are setting a very problematic precedent. We would have to include candidates for legislatures in other important countries. You were warned! I'm prepared to include all MPs in recent years. PatGallacher 11:18, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

Don't forget to read this before you do. And don't sweat about precedents. Naturenet 15:20, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Have fun with that, PatGallacher. Also remember Wikipedia is not paper. Kappa 17:29, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

WP is not paper, but it not a general knowledge base either. The "not paper" argument says we draw our boundaries very broadly -- but we do draw them. Please don't trot it out every time you disagree with other people's definition of notability -- it's not relevent. ---Isaac R 17:46, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

I have now read these linked articles, and I stand by my vote to delete. There are over 600 seats in the UK House of Commons, an article for every MP in recent years (which I am prepared to go along with) already takes us into 4 figures. An article for every candidate, or even every one from the dozen or so semi-serious parties with significant representation in elected authorities must take us into 5 figures. And then you have the issue of candidates from other countries... PatGallacher 21:00, 2005 May 14 (UTC)

• I remind people that wikipedia is not paper when they use arguments about "thousands of people", or even tens of thousands of people. Kappa 20:14, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• On the other hand, Wikipedia is not a general knowledge database: "Biography articles should only be for people with some sort of notoriety or achievement." I don't think that getting 4.3% of the vote in a Parliamentary election is really an achievement. For example, [3] estimates 3,521 candidates for the 2005 general election. Going back even a decade suggests upward of 10,000 candidates. Thus, standing in a Parliamentary election is not in itself a notable achievement. Something more than the bare fact of candidacy is necessary to prove sufficient notoriety. NatusRoma 21:20, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Kappa, I've responded to your "not paper" argument any number of times, and you've simply ignored me. Ok, you have no obligation to do so. Bu if don't want to defend your argument, don't complain when nobody pays attention to it. ---Isaac R 01:48, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

• The fact that anyone interesting in this election will be interested in its candidates indicates adequate notoriety. Kappa 21:26, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. I had a friend in college whose roommate's brother ran for Congress in California in 1980 and lost. I don't even remember the guy's name. But if this article is kept, I'll call my friend and see if he remembers his name, then we'll collaborate on a 3000-word aricle about the guy. You know, just in the interest of wasting everybody's time on such highly "notable" material. C W Merchant 20:40, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Get the name, do the research, write the article. I'll read it, and if anyone puts it on VFD, I'll vote to keep it. -- Jonel 01:55, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Strong delete you do realize that there are hundreds of thousands of people that ran for national parliaments? Or even been elected there? Grue 18:35, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. As long as the article is free of POV and vanity, his notability is sufficiently established.

Metal/punk

Metal/punk is a music genre combining metal and punk. Nothing links here. Let's delete it before anything does.—Wahoofive (talk) 04:49, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Delete. I tried to find something appropriate to propose a redirect, such as hardcore punk, Metalcore, or Grunge, but nothing seemed particularly appropriate. Also, the article asserts that punk and metal are seemingly disparate, yet from a brief glance at the punk pages, it does not seeem like that would be true, so I call the accuracy of the article into question as well. EvilPhoenix

• Delete. An article on the crossover of metal into punk and vice versa might be useful, but I wouldn't call it a specific genre. Most bands that are influenced by both styles will call themselves "metal" or "punk" or (most likely) just "rock." Soundguy99 16:13, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Transwiki and probably merge to an article on maintenance of electronics; this is a widely-used term, though it's tongue-in-cheek. But I doubt it has potential to become encyclopedic enough for its own article. Barno 18:19, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment My apologies if I was too quick for you. If one is editing an article, it helps if the article isn't saved until it is more complete. Otherwise mistakes like this can happen. All too often such skeleton articles aren't actively being edited and a vfd may be justified. In this case, the article stub would be improved if it had more information than a three-word sentence without a verb. --  B.d.mills  06:12, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes! I agree with that completely. Try to make a more complete article before posting. I do. Mgm|^(talk) 08:28, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

Comment. Sherurcij, I'd like to offer you a friendly encouragement to strive for politeness. I'm sure that calmly explaining here on the Vfd talk page that you will be imminently adding to the article will provide adequate reason for a stay on deletion. You've been on Wikipedia a good while now, and it looks like you've been working hard to make improvements during that time, so well done. I look forward to seeing this article improve in the near future. EvilPhoenix

1968 in France

• Delete Merge with 1968 and delete - No content save a single vague reference to a student protest. - Tεxτurε 14:51, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Stubs, especially stubs for "Events in (Year) in (Place)" take time to develop. I think France is more than large enough to have plenty of notable events in 1968 to fill a page. --Unfocused 15:26, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Change vote to Redirect. I don't know if it's more appropriate to redirect to the comprehensive and excellent History of France, or simply redirect to 1968. My slight preference is to redirect to 1968 so that browsers who type "2004 in France" can type the same for different years, and get coverage for the year where a "#### in France" article doesn't exist, yet still get French information for those years where there is content. Merge with 1968 and delete doesn't cover that as gracefully. Redirect to May 1968, suggested below, implies that only one event took place that year in France. --Unfocused 19:09, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• • • Keep, definitely keep after revision by Grutness. "XXXX in France" should also encompass articles that wouldn't be widely known enough for the general year, and I think this is the case here. I would now argue that in general, similar "XXXX in Place" articles should redirect to the general year referenced until someone takes the effort to find at least one item "not worthy" for the general XXXX year article, plus all relevant items from the more general year article that relate to the place. How many vote changes do I get before you cut me off?  ;)--Unfocused 15:20, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The article is weak now, but in time it should improve. EvilPhoenix

• Merge with 1968. Megan1967 01:07, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

The Grenoble Winter Olympics, an attempted impeachment of Pompidou, and the first nuclear tests at Moruroa, for instance. Grutness...wha? 02:51, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Just delete it. There's nothing worth merging with May 1968 (i.e. there's nothing at 1968 in France that isn't already at May 1968), and anything else worthwhile that happened in France in 1968 can be listed at 1968 and/or History of France. --Angr/_comhrá 06:15, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

• By Grutness's request I took another look at it, but I still hold that many of the events there (e.g. the olympic games) were of sufficiently global impact to get this merged with 1968 in general, as I voted above.

Cutting of the elm

• Mason-cruft? Nonsense? Rmhermen 18:09, May 13, 2005 (UTC)
  • Please look at the Priory of Sion hoax in relation to this article. It has nothing to do with the Knights Templar. Rmhermen 23:32, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
    • I agree that Priory of Sion is quite possibly not the historic body it is often seen to be - thanks for drawing that to our attention. But the existence of a substantial article about that body demonstrates the point that concrete reality is not a pre-requisite of notability. Cutting of the elm, like the Priory, is a notable tale of a legendary event - and, real or unreal, its notability is what we must consider. For examples of what I mean, see here [5] where the mythical event is used, rather feebly, as a simile about the Iraq war; and here [6] where it appears in the lyrics of a folk song. The event has notability beyond being simply a stand-alone fairy story. Naturenet 07:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Just to be clear about my position. Rmhermen 23:32, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
• 'Cleanup, wikify, and merge to Knights Templar, or just delete if sources can't be found to verify this legend. Not nonsense but poorly written overview. I'm not sure whether this was a widely-retold image for centuries, or just another invention from The Da Vinci Code or a similar modern exploitation. Barno 18:39, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep good rewrite, which discusses limited verifiability of topic, and cites historical sources from the next centuries after the 1188 event, whatever that event truly was that led to the legends. There were a lot of period exploitations of the core legend, adapted to support the agenda of whomever was doing the rewriting. Bonus points to Naturenet for the research and rewrite. Barno 23:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
• Verify and Merge, Knights Templar, as above. EvilPhoenix
• Strong keep and clean-up The incident is well documented and appears on Google in many places retold in different ways, albeit that these may have a common source. It may be apocryphal but is certainly of significance and has its own name. Reason enough for an article. This article, although not devoid of merit, starts poorly, degenerates into gibberish, and is too obviously transcribed from another, uncredited, source. Editing is required, not deletion. Naturenet 21:09, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless verified Keep. Good clean-up and cites to sources. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:59, 2005 May 17 (UTC)
• Keep and clean-up I searched Google and this might have been a real event. here's one of the results [7] Stancel 00:52, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

Even if it wasn't real, it certainly seems to be a legend with some significance. The fact that it has its own name is for me the clincher. Naturenet 15:16, 14 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 01:03, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. I would probably vote to keep a decent stub but current article is too substandard to keep. Capitalistroadster 09:21, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, with reservations. This article very weak but based on a quick review of the results of a Google search, I do think that there is a basis for a "cutting of the oak" entry and perhaps this discussion will trigger someone to improve the article. DS1953 21:20, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Great job, Naturenet. This VfD resulted in a real article! DS1953 20:01, 17 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unverifiable. Radiant_* 12:51, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

It's not significant in this context whether or not the story is true or verifiable. It probably is not - but then neither are most myths and legends. The question is whether it is notable. This clearly is notable for some people, with over 600 Google hits for a search on 'Gisors Elm', most of which are different and almost all of which refer to this tale. The article is poor but the subject is not. Naturenet 13:33, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Being intrigued by this curious story I've put my money where my mouth is and rewritten the entire page. I guess those who said to delete were right - not a word of the original page survives. I still think it's a notable story and now a reasonable article. See how you like it now. Naturenet 19:50, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I like it now. The Knights Templars stuff is dubious, but the meeting of Henry II and Philippe II seems to be an old and well established story, true or not. func(talk) 05:19, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. An editor can be found, but with time this article will improve. I think you need to give it a better chance. Also, just because it does not return any results from google, I do not believe that to be a valid reason for deletion; the guy just does not have any pages made about him! In addition, what do you consider to be 'vanity'? Are not all biographies made for vanity? NO, the purpose of them is to inform you on a person's life, which is excatly what this is doing! Robert Molinaro 18:34, May 13,2005 (EST)
  • I have updated my initial comment. I'll assume it was not vanity. However, this person is not notable. See Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#Wikipedia is not a general knowledge base. -- JamesTeterenko 23:25, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

  • I agree that it is now more readable. However, what makes this person notable enough for a Wikipedia entry? -- JamesTeterenko 23:29, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, importance is not explained and its content is chiefly vanity cruft. 119 02:06, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Is this person verifiable? Although Macarro is supposed to be notable (according to this article) as a scholar, the article has virtually no information about his scholarly career and, as stated above, Google yields no information about Macarro as a scholar. Also note that the cause and place of his death is given, but no date of death, which leads me to wonder whether Daniel Macarro as described in this article actually existed. Unless his existence is confirmed somehow, delete. --Metropolitan90 03:14, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, hoax. Zero Google hits for "Daniel Juan José Mártin Macarro", and only four hits for "Daniel Macarro", of which two are Wikipedia mirrors and the other two have nothing to do with this person. Wouldn't his name by Martín, anyway, not Mártin? Also note that the very original version of the story was entirely different from the current version. RickK 04:43, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not verifiable. The article editing history does not inspire confidence either. Quale 07:31, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • After reading the original version of this page and seeing how it has changed without any references, this should be deleted. Also, feel free to voice your outrage at Macarro's featured article vote. Gee, this article looks like some awfully sneaky vandalism. Harro5 07:36, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not true. I am Daniel Macarro and this was a stupid joke played by friends of mine. They claim to be making it into the greatest article in wikipedia because they are morons, and yes the accent is over the i not the a.
• Delete. Well i guess the secret is out. Its true that we [me and my friend] wrote this article as a joke. Its all fake!! Just go ahead and delete it...

Kambojas

• delete. Thoroughly useless as an encyclopedia article. Original research. A list of comments each and every menitioning of Kambojas in each and every text. Note I am not questioning the validity of the topic. I am against this article. IMO it is imposssible to clean it up. It is just a heap of raw data. Mikkalai 20:17, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh, yes. Recently a huge chunk of it was moved into a separate article. Kambojas in Indian Traditions. Amost wikisource. Mikkalai 20:20, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
    • User:Utcursch made the move - Maybe it may be good to consult him/her about it? Hedley 20:32, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I created a separate article because this was requested on article's talk page. Janitors find it hard to work on such long articles. utcursch | talk 06:40, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

• I'm unsure. 451 google hits for Kamboja. Topic is notable but the multitude of info suggests it maybe is original research, or more likely, copyvio from a book (Google doesn't bring up any suggestions of copyvio. Its impossible to clean up and shouldn't be in the mainspace but maybe someone who wants to could take up the task of cleaning it up in their user area? I won't vote delete as its a notable topic with seemingly plenty of info, yet its far too garbled for cleanup. Hedley 20:30, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete. It's too bad it's so garbled, there is a lot of (probably) good data here. Scimitar
• Keep. Though the article is massive, and in poor condition, in perusing the talk page, it appears that there are those working to clean it up, and respond to critique that the article is too large. It's been a few days since the last edit, but it looks like it is being worked on fairly often. As far as it being original research, those in favor of moving it to Wikisource may be correct, but I do not support deletion. EvilPhoenix
  • On this view, it could be better to move the current text to Kambojas/Temp, and then keep a basic stub until it is cleaned up. This page isn't that you want to see on random page. Hedley 22:20, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • The page is now at User:Hedley/Kambojas in case it is deleted during attempts to clean it up. Hedley 22:23, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I checked version difference for several recent edits, and it does not appear to me at all that it is cleanup; it is rather pumping more and more raw data into it. The only possible solution is a complete rewrite from scratch, rather than cleanup. Of course, the material may be preserved, but not in the main article space. Heck, from the article it is even not clear whether Kambojas live today or not (or I am just too lazy to find it in the article). Mikkalai 22:37, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
• Dear Mikkalai, of course, you are too lazy. The Kambojas still live in northern India, mainly in Panjab (Kamboj/Kambohs) and also in Afghanistan as Siyaposh tribes( Kamoz/Camojes/Kams). Though their numbers have greatly dwindled, and currently, total population still known by their ancient name(s) is etimated to be about 1.5 million approx. pl read: Kambojas and Kambohs section under Kambojas.KLS
  • I admit I am lazy, but not very "too". I am just an average reader. The section you refer me to is not only the very last one, it is some 50 pages down thru heaps and heaps of quotations from ancient texts in sanscrit. What you have written here belong not here, but in the very first lines of the article. I can only explain this by complete disregard of potential readers. IMO the current article is just a scratchpad for someone's original research. Mikkalai 16:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Yup, I know, I know. KLS
  • I do agree that topic is a genuine one and wikipedia should have an article on this, actually I wanted to clean up (my comments on article' talk page), but I gave up, as I found that any cleanup will require a massive re-write, days of efforts, and saying goodbye to a lot of raw data. I suggest editors who placed these materials to remove certain sections and redo the remaining portions. I can do that myself - but I donot want to invite adverse comments, which such an action may entail.--Bhadani 02:39, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I suggest to move all raw data into the talk page and fetch necessary pieces whenever necessary. The article must be made readable ASAP, since I do not deny it is an important topic and I am repeating again and again, my move is to delete the content, not the article itself. Mikkalai 16:18, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and clean-up Stancel 00:55, 14 May 2005(UTC)
• Keep, it is a worthwhile subject but the references are way too many and too un-structured. I just cleaned up the Alexander and Mauryan Empire parts. Still a lot to be done (slashed?) on the rest of the article. PHG 03:22, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Please notice that my move was against the content, which is to be deleted, because we are not writing research papers here. It is perfectly OK if a new article will be written. Mikkalai 17:21, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I do agree completely with Mikkalai - I did a cleanup of two sections and merged them into one. The entire cleanup is a massive task, and a lot of info will have to be made compact. Let me see what can be done - for last few days, I was engaged in editing the WP:COTW Culture of Ancient Rome, may be this week I will try to do something about this article. I am afraid unless more editors step in, it shall continue to be a difficult task.--Bhadani 19:00, 15 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. Notable topic but article needs work. Capitalistroadster 09:45, 15 May 2005 (UTC)pecial:c
• Keep- I record a formal vote to keep, though earlier I had given comments here as well as on article discussion page. My only worry is that the size of the article should be made a bit compact, references may be rationalized and duplication should be avoided. Further, cleanup and wikification of the contents must continue on an on-going basis.--Bhadani 01:26, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep and cleanup. Bubamara 23:29, 16 May 2005 (UTC)
• Cleanup. Deletion is not the solution. Maybe put it at Wikipedia:Article improvement drive. utcursch | talk 06:40, May 17, 2005 (UTC)
• The artical is obviouslly way too long, but I don't see how deleting all of this information helps anybody. I would be for breaking it down into sub articals, but not for deleting it.

I'm concerned that user may also be represented by IP address 195.172.150.2, which has also been making connections and creating articles (such as Tiberius_Junius_Brutus), and seems to have vandalised Junius_Brutus_Booth in [this] edit.

Memorial for non-notable schoolteacher —Wahoofive (talk) 23:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Delete. Needs some maintenance around the asteroid list pages that link to him though, so that they wont anymore. EvilPhoenix

Weak keep. The guy may be unknown to most people (including me), but to have an asteroid named after you, you have to do something right in this life. The asteroid is real, by the way. Jamyskis 12:12, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, NN, there are far too many asteroids, and many of them are named after S.O.s, friends or whatever of the discoverer. Radiant_* 12:53, May 17, 2005 (UTC)

Self-article is clearly vanity and does not establish notability. Wikipedians should not write articles about themselves. Kelly Martin 23:40, May 13, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - no point in userfying, info is already on his user page. -- BD2412 ^thimkact 23:56, 2005 May 13 (UTC)

Delete. Dankelley, please visit your talk page. EvilPhoenix

• Delete. as the author, I also agree it should be deleted. I didn't see how, so I just removed what I had added (but not the flag, which I kept in accordance with my understanding of what's proper). Thanks, folks, for the advice. Dankelley 21:13, 15 May 2005 (UTC)

Sounds like advertising for a non-notable company's non-notable product. NatusRoma 23:40, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

Monica margolis

Article just appears to be a advertisement. Sgkay 19:58, 13 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete notability not shown. Samw 20:27, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as above. Pavel Vozenilek 20:31, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: "Monica Margolis" only returns her website plus one unrelated, and one from Cindy Margolis website. "Monica Wesley" vocals (her previous name) returns a couple relevant links. She has worked with several notable individuals, but I'm not sure that she deserves a Wikipedia entry. —Markaci 2005-05-21 T 17:08 Z
