List of school districts in San Francisco County, California

As San Francisco has a single unified school district, this would be better as a single line in the education section of San Francisco, California. Gentgeen 00:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Maybe Redirect to San Francisco Unified School District Kappa 01:10, 23 May 2005 (UTC) Leave it up to Tony Sidaway. Kappa 19:25, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• Why is this on VfD? The move function could have resolved this. —RaD Man (talk) 02:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually I think you mean the "redirect" function. Revolución 03:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • If a duplicate article already exists, then yes, merge and redirect. —RaD Man (talk) 04:41, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• My vote is to redirect to San Francisco Unified School District. Revolución 03:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, do not redirect. The function of a redirect is to guide users who might type a keyword in to the article. San Francisco only has one school district. This is a no-brainer, folks. Neutrality^talk 03:58, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment It's only a no-brainer, alas, to people who already know that San Francisco has only one school district. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:47, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Can we merge to San Francisco, California and redirect to San Francisco Unified School District? That would be best. DoubleBlue (Talk) 06:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Jjeffs 13:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment I've been thinking of making this into a redirect to the unified district--there are several California counties that have a single unified district. This is part of a fairly large project-in-progress, and the name of this article is part of a pattern "List of school districts in X county" intended to make it easy for the lists to be located by a person with only a minimal understanding of the underlying school system. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:43, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  Comment - one item doesn't a list make. Gentgeen 02:50, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

  Actually a useful list can even contain zero items. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 12:41, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Alright, I'll ask it: How can a useful list contain zero items? DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It can hold a place in a category or a list of lists, by its existence dispelling the possibility that its omission is an oversight. This could sometimes be useful owing to the very fluid nature of Wikipedia development.
  • This is one reason why I'd prefer this article not to be deleted, even though it comprises only one item. The omission from the Lists of school districts in California by county of List of school districts in San Francisco County, California might seem rather odd. I could replace it with a direct link to San Francisco Unified School District, but to me that seems less elegant. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 22:06, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Since the article is part of a "list of lists" that is titled "Lists of school districts in California by county" I agree that it would seem strange to omit San Francisco county even if that particular list only has one item. This page should be judged on how it helps a user of Wikipedia, not on the content of a single article. It serves a valid purpose, just as do redirect pages and dismbiguation pages. DS1953 21:30, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Part of a series. There are several other counties with only two districts, and Amador County and Sierra County also only have one school district. jengod 00:10, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was redirect to Palestine Mandate. Sjakkalle 11:36, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

League of Nations Palestine Mandate

• Mostly just text from a document, which doesn't belong on Wikipedia. --Tothebarricades.tk 00:05, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, essay/original research. The original document is already on Wikisource:Palestine Mandate, and there's also a Wikipedia article Palestine Mandate. — A.M. 00:49, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, redirect to Palestine Mandate. — A.M. 01:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect, per above. No merge, no Wikisource. Geogre 03:10, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Palestine Mandate. Revolución 03:15, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to Palestine Mandate. I'm drawn on what to do with this text though - something of it could be salvaged to be included in the Palestine Mandate article, even if it is too much quoting and too little objective analysis. Jamyskis 14:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Feel free to merge it in, if there's stuff worth keeping. As long as this article is redirected and not deleted, (which seems to be what will happen) then there aren't any GFDL problems. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 16:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Expunge

Dictdef, already in Wiktionary. This page once was marked with {{Pending deletion}}, but someone removed it. A.M. 00:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete/speedy: There has been quarreling over speedy deletes of transwiki'd words. Seems like it ought to be straightforward to me, but I think someone used a -bot, and someone else got upset with it. Geogre 03:12, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • That gets me upset whether people use a bot or not. Even I have nominated a "dicdef" for Vfd only for someone to point out its encyclopedic potential Kappa 18:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It's the mis-use of the speedy deletion criteria that gets people upset. The 'bots have, really, nothing to do with it. That has long since been sorted out, and has nothing to do with this article in any case, whose transwikification and deletion preceded the Wiktionarification 'bots. When this article was speedied, back on 2005-02-18, its entire content was the 5 words "To erase or strike out.", which meets speedy deletion criterion A1. It was only after it had been speedied and moved to pending deletion that what you see now was written. Uncle G 19:11, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Delete. Dictdef, or thesaurus entry.--Absurdist 03:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Expunge. Grutness...wha? 08:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Expunge (sorry, couldn't resist :-p). Jamyskis 14:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• This is a dictionary article on a verb, not an encyclopaedia article on a person, concept, place, event, or thing. No suitable infinitive→gerund redirects are apparent. It was clearly created by Nobs in order to explain xyr use of the word "expunge" in Talk:Jesus/Archive 16. Show Nobs how to make interwiki links to Wiktionary articles if linking to a dictionary article about a word is required, and Delete. Uncle G 19:11, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

The result of the debate was ambiguous.

By strict vote count, I get 13 "delete" (1 anon discounted), 13 "keep" (2 anon or unsigned discounted), 6 "redirect", 2 "transwiki" and 4 that abstained or were too ambiguous to call. The article was expanded some during the discussion period but did not fundamentally change in tone or topic.

There were two suggested redirect targets - both presented fairly early in the discussion. Those arguing to redirect to a Marilyn Manson page did not support the retention of any of the current content. Those supporting a redirect to beauty were mixed.

Re-reading the current version, I find myself agreeing with the argument that even after expansion the verifiable content is nothing more than a dictionary definition - that is, a discussion of the definition, origins and usage of a word or phrase. I personally see very little possibility of further expansion. I can find no evidence that the term "beautiful people" (as described in this article) is a recognized concept or class in sociology.

I am going to call this one as a "no concensus" which defaults to keep for now.

Switching hats, I am now going to act as an ordinary editor and be bold in merging this with beauty. The beauty article discusses aesthetics and their implications across multiple dimensions, not merely human appearance. The social trend of mimicing those who are beautiful certainly seems to fall neatly into the section on Effects of beauty in human society. Rossami (talk) 23:07, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Beautiful people

If we allow this, we need to allow "Ugly people", "Fat people", "Smelly people", etc. Not encyclopedic Barfooz (talk) 00:27, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• It could (doubtfully) be encyclopedic if it had an ounce of content, but it does not. I agree, delete. -- Consumed Crustacean | Talk | 00:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• POV OR. Redirect to Antichrist Superstar. The Beautiful People is probably Marilyn Manson's most well-known song, and that's the album it's found on. AиDя01DTALK 00:47, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • I will do this if the consensus is not to delete. -- Barfooz (talk) 01:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep this encyclopedic stereotype, if sources can be cited. Kappa 01:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • What's your response to my comment then? If this starts being allowed, it has no hope of ceasing. I'm okay with User:Android79's idea -- Barfooz (talk) 01:20, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • "Ugly people" is just "ugly" + "people", but "beautiful people" has a distinct meaning. Kappa 01:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I could write this same article about ugly people. I don't follow your logic. I don't think that "beautiful people" has more special connotations than any other "adjective people." I think the content needs to be totally redone, if it isn't totally deleted or redirected. -- Barfooz (talk) 01:51, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
        • I think the point is that beautiful people are not necessarily "beautiful". Beautiful people are what the current culture say are beautiful, not what the individual person's subjective esthetics see as beautiful. I found that [1] was enlightening. To compare, the term ugly people does not have the same kind of hidden meaning; they are just ugly :). Thue | talk 20:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Common phrase part of culture. See People Magagine's 50 Most Beautiful People edition for example [2]. Capitalistroadster 01:54, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Just because a sequence of two words is common, it doesn't merit an article. To extend your analogy, Time Magazine also has a "Man of the Year." Should we have an article called "Man of the Year" without any references to Time magazine? -- Barfooz (talk) 01:59, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • It is a phrase in common use and has distinct cultural references ie People Magazine, Marilyn Manson song. Australian Crawl had a hit in Australia with the song Beautiful People referring to a jetsetting elite. Capitalistroadster 05:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete unless sources can be cited that illustrate that "beautiful people" differs from "beautiful" + "people."--Absurdist 02:32, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Distinct meaning: [3] Kappa 02:30, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Very well. Needs cleanup. - Barfooz (talk) 02:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
      • Also "How does it feel to be one of the beautiful people? Now that you know who you are." -Baby You're a Rich Man, The Beatles. The primary meaning is not fashion victims but the rich and powerful. cf: Le Beau Monde. It's a phrase with a history but this article is in serious need of cleanup. No vote. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:54, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Could that be expanded beyond a dicdef? I'm not so sure. In any case, Wiktionary doesn't have a beautiful people entry yet. AиDя01DTALK 02:40, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
      • It could mention that Marilyn Manson wrote a song about them :) Kappa 02:43, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Ok, change vote to keep, but expand with references and history, and not just to Marilyn Manson.--Absurdist 03:20, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - even if the beautiful people don't care. -- BD2412 ^talk 03:05, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Delete: Dictdefs go in Wiktionary (the concept of the "beautiful people"), unless someone is going to chart its history (with references, and not just surmise). As a particular song by a particular artist, it would have to be redirected or at least moved to Beautiful people (song). Geogre 03:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or redirect to Beauty -- Revolución 03:50, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not encyclopedic. RickK`
• Delete - it's not encyclopedic. Belongs under beauty if at all. Anyway, "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and so os very subjective. Charlie123 11:55, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete DJ Clayworth 05:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge anything useable to Beauty. This article is inherently POV. Megan1967 06:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to beauty. Martg76 08:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Beautiful by whose standards? 'Redirect to beauty - Skysmith 08:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. A lot of these votes seem to miss the point. "Beautiful people" aren't people who are endowed with beauty. It is a term used - often derisively - for what the Kinks so aptly dewscribed as dedicated followers of fashion. People who try to stay up with all the latest fads and fashioons. As such it is a perfectly valid stereotype and deserving of an article. It needs cleanup, not deletion. Grutness...wha? 08:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Comment: I got it, Grutness. The term derives from the 1960's, when it was a term for the "groovy" people. It was an in-group term by the Flower Power set. The beautiful people inevitably included the Carnaby Street folks. In the 1970's, the in-group flower child term got extended over to fashionistas and the "hip" of NYC. Anyway, from there it just got to be the "insiders" and "the chosen by the Bohemians," and from there "the perfection of cool." It could be discussed, but the problem is in writing about it with references and not just folk etymology and pop culture. Geogre 11:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Inherently POV and pointless. Harro5 08:57, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unencyclopedic and pointless. — JIP | Talk 09:07, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, replace with redirect to Marilyn Manson's song. Radiant_* 09:55, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, common phrase with meaning not obvious from component words alone. Needs some cleanup. Christopher Parham (talk) 11:30, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Delete, would either turn into a POV mess or a dic def for a unencyclopedic concept--nixie 11:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep This has nothing whatsoever to do with beauty, and everything to do with money, prestige, and power. It is very much a contemporary term. Denni☯ 20:18, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Escort it to the black limo waiting outside and swoosh it off to Wiktionary. -- Hoary 13:54, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Delete. I agree with Grutness' argumentation that the term could have a wikipedia article, but the current one looks like original research and has no references. Do _not_ redirect to beauty. Thue | talk 20:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• I would keep the article but it does need to be expanded to be more than a dictionary definition. The term "Hippie" could also be a dictdef but, as written, the Wikipedia article on that term provides more insight into the word than a dictionary would be expected to provide. Although the term "beautiful people" is not as significant to the culture of the period as "hippie," it still could be more than a dictdef. And in my mind, while moving the article to Wicktionary may make sense if the article stays as it is, moving it to Beauty makes no sense because the term is not really about "beauty" notwithstanding the word "beautiful." DS1953 22:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep as per DS1953. — P Ingerson (talk) 23:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Eeek. Barely a dictadef, as opposed to a simple combination of adjective and noun. Perhaps transwiki to wikionary? Sabine's Sunbird 00:59, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete original research. --metta, The Sunborn 03:32, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect -- to Marilyn Manson. He has a popular song by this name. - Longhair | Talk 05:26, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep neat stuff as per Kappa. Klonimus 05:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, add info about Marilyn Manson song and other references, consider disambiguous tag. Don't merge. Internodeuser 13:49, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete original research. Leanne 05:51, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, needs expansion but seems to be a concept as opposed to an adjective. Vashti 09:10, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Reason same as Barfooz. utcursch | talk 12:03, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. Online Etymology Dictionary says under "beauty", "beautiful people. "The fashionable set" first attested 1964.". Also, the Hippyland Glossary describes "beautiful people" as "Used to described hippies or cool persons". I've heard both of these senses used; it's a phrase with a history and what looks like two conflicting standard meanings, not just an adjective + noun construct. However, it's going to need some serious research to expand the article. Vashti 12:30, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, this article is full of POV. The page on beauty describes it as a matter of perception and therefore anyone/anything could be viewed as beutiful. We already have a page on beauty so this is unnecassrary.
• Comment The solution to POV content is to edit the content. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 16:11, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Change to clean up tag, possibly later to merge. Anyone have a sociology textbook handy?

  Unsigned vote by Tznkai. 24.224.153.40 20:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. 24.224.153.40 20:29, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• After all the discussion on here I've decided to reverse my vote. Accordingly, I have added more content to the article, based off of comments by Geogre and Thue, and some poking around online. I think it's more appropriate now. -- Barfooz (talk) 07:27, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Thank you Barfooz, nice job. Kappa 19:28, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Redirect, no merge. A condensed version of the information in this article is already present in Super Mario Bros. 3; I would have suggested a merge if it weren't. (Change vote; that's what I meant in the first place.) AиDя01DTALK 21:59, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Useless collection of generic facts about an insignificant school. This is not an encyclopedia article.

• IB programs are common and not notable. Gamaliel 05:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• That may be your opinion and you are entitled to it, but at least in Illinois applying the word "common" to IB programs would be a real stretch. And as long as we are stating opinions, I think to put a school stub on VfD two minutes after it is created is absolutely ridiculous. The whole purpose of any stub is to create an article. Regardless of whether a school should be "notable" to get an article, I would venture to say (again, only my opinion) that most people who are voting to delete are doing so on the content of the stub without any investigation of the "notability" of the school. Give it time to develop, IMO. DS1953 14:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

    • Good question, and having done a quick google I think the name should be used as a disambig (linking to the education sections in the geographical articles rather than redlinks), since there appear to be numerous high schools in the US with that name. Average Earthman 09:04, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I teach at the school - and in fact began this article on 5/22/05, then posted a link to it on my webpage asking my students (those from the advanced placement and IB program mentioned in the article) to improve upon it. They have begun to do so already. The school is significant within the Cincinnati area and within Ohio - just having been named #1 fund-raising school in the nation for Leukemia & Lymphoma (raising over $35,000 this year) and having a student score a perfect 2400 on the recent SAT. The article needs improvement, yes, but not deletion. As a rookie, I am thoroughly open to advice - particlarly from the user who mentioned that the article title was incorrect. Just checked the BEEEFSTEW page and understand a bit better. Gimme a couple of days to write a better article before evaluating, please. --phschemguy 08:38, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

They are not just "another cookie-cutter school" (as was my high school, unfortunately). --Jpbrenna 22:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge is the correct choice here. The school district is already set up at Princeton City Schools. All votes to keep should be ignored since the article at Princeton High School has to be a disambig page.

I urge everybody accept the fact that this vote will end in 'no consensus', and to not increase VfD size by adding more votes. See also Wikipedia:Schools. Radiant_* 09:59, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

But if you ask most food scientists working for major US companies, they agree that in the future all home cooked food will be made in 15 minutes or less. convenience food doesn't involve any preparation. Where as the stuff this article is talking about i.e Tuna Helper requires a small amount of preparation but very little culinariy skill. Klonimus 06:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

It may be a real phenomenon, but it certainly isn't a cuisine. If Suburban cuisine can be considered as such, then we should start working on Dorm cuisine, Airplane cuisine and Service area cuisine.

    • You mean the American bias which includes all of the Australian Idol and Pop Idols contestants? The American bias which includes Big Brother contestants from every country in the world? The American bias which puts the winner of the Eurovision song contest on the Main Page? RickK 05:10, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
      • It is estimated that there are 335.5 million native speakers of English. The 2000 US Census estimates 281 million United States citizens. It further states that 47 million of the respondents do not speak English at home, leaving some 234 million English speakers in the United States. Now I realize that speaking English at home is not an indication of native speakerhood, but the majority of those people are going to be native speakers. That's a big chunk of the English native speakers. Therefore, I would expect viewpoints on English Wikipedia to have an American bias, if only because a majority of the users are likely American. That said, this is completely irrelevant to Lucky Octavian. :) -- Barfooz (talk) 05:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Gluonic vacuum field

There is such a thing in physics as a gluonic vacuum field, but this article doesn't describe it. This article is a word salad of formulas and terminology culled from theoretical physics. This article belongs to a cluster of related articles, and contains overlapping content from one or more of: Coherence condition, Electromagnetic jet, Extended Yukawa potential, Nonlinear Coulomb field, Nonlinear magnetic field, w-field. All of these appear to have been created by one user: Rudchenko. Extensive discussion should go to Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Mathematics. linas 03:47, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep: If there really is a thing called a gluonic vacuum field, then maybe we should clear this content and write up a stub. -- Barfooz (talk) 04:40, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Hmm, yes, well in that case, I'd say redirect to either casimir effect (which deals the vacuum of the photonic field) or color charge. Note that physicists wouldn't actually use the term Gluonic vacuum field, technically, its the vacuum state of the gluonic field. Even so, any such research is at best controversial, as QCD is unsolved, and a general formulation of vacuum is poorly understood. But whatever. I can write a stub that says this.linas 14:02, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Surya Das

This article seems to be completely POV-pushing by one editor and lacks encyclopedic value at present. If this person is in fact notable and deserving of an entry, the article needs major cleanup, otherwise it should be deleted. Whig 04:26, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The article needs NPOV work, definitely. I support having a "neutrality disputed" tag on the article. It would be good if we could get some critics of Surya Das to counterbalance it. I think it pretty clearly is a notable and encyclopedic subject, though: Surya Das is one of the more prominent American Buddhists (he was on Politically Incorrect, published a lot of books), and, while this is in no sense an endorsement of his qualifications to teach anybody anything, it does make him fodder for an encyclopedia. - Nat Krause 05:03, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete POV not notable enough. Leanne 05:56, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Seriously, what are your grounds for saying that Surya Das isn't notable? There are quite a few articles on Wikipedia about modern Buddhist clerics who have sold fewer books and appeared on less media than him. - Nat Krause 07:23, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. I made a brief attempt to clean up some of the POV. Surya Das is fairly well known among American Buddhists, and although I am not particularly a fan of his writing, we have read one of his books in my group (a different American Buddhist tradition). I left the "neutrality" tag, but would be happy to see it come down. Bikeable 17:42, 26 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete sorry, just isnt that notable. JamesBurns 10:11, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I really find this hard to believe. His book "Awakening the Buddha Within" carries blurbs by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Thich Nhat Hanh, Sharon Salzberg, and Ken Wilbur -- that's practically a who's-who of American Buddhism (ok, maybe not Wilbur). If you're an American Buddhist, you've heard of the guy. I've said already that I'm not a big fan, but notable he certainly is. Bikeable 17:17, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Mythical Chronology of Greece

Original research and general kookiness DreamGuy 06:14, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep : I'm not sure about this one. It looks like it has potential with a lot of editing. --Barfooz (talk) 07:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Move to Timeline of Greek mythology, but remove the speculative dates. Martg76 08:06, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

The dates are not speculative and are accepted by most modern scholars. They are taken directly from extant chronologies and king lists such as The Parian Marble, Castor, Diodorus Siculus, Apollodorus, Tatian, Eusebius and Jerome.--Argyrosargyrou 17:52, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete: In the Greek mythology#cosmology, the rough events could be listed. Without specific references for each date, it's speculative to surmise that it was at year X BC or Y BC for an event. Geogre 15:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Well in that case you might as well throw out all the Egyptian chronologies and king lists which at best are only accurate to +/-5 years and at worst could be centuries out. In fact in the case of Egypt there are 3 different chronologies that have been reconstructed because nobody can agree on how long each pharaoh reigned and when a battle took place. Since margins of errors have been given on all the dates, the Greek chronology is no different to the ones used for Egypt. In fact the traditional Greek chronology is considerably more accurate than the Egyptian because every ancient historian agreed that 1183 BC was the date the Trojan War ended and 1103 BC was the date of the Dorian decent into the Peloponnese. --Argyrosargyrou 18:11, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

You do understand, don't you, that the problem here is not with a scholarly dating of Greek legendary events, but that these are legendary dates deduced solely from literary evidence? The dating for Egyptians comes from modern archeology. Modern archeology also indicates that the Trojan War, whatever it was, was probably 800-900 BC. The dates you have here, though, include the gods, etc., and come entirely from legendary speculation. Jerome is a great authority on a lot of things, and he's a saint and one of the brightest men in history, but he wasn't an archeologist. That's why this material shouldn't be presented as fact and should be put in the cosmology section of the Greek myth article. Modern scholars don't even agree on how and what the Greek gods were in origin, whether they were cthonian gods, hero cults, or nature gods, much less how and when each migrated into the Greek isles. Geogre 03:09, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• This nomination is the result of the personal academic and religious bigotry of DreamGuy who wants to censor this article because it does not fit in with his prejudices and misconceptions of Greek history and mythology. The chronology for this article was primarily based on Jerome's Chroncon which was the standard historical text http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/jerome_chronicle_02_part1.htm
• Jerome's Chroncon is now available for the first time in English so you can check it out for yourselves. http://www.tertullian.org/fathers/jerome_chronicle_01_prefaces.htm
• I vote that the article stays unaltered using the chronology given which is the most accurate available. Before considering any decision to remove this article I demand that it be peer reviewed by PhD's and experts in the field not by people that have no idea what they are talking about and who have not read even one of the sources I quoted as has been revealed by the discussion. The removal of this article would amount to censorship.

--Argyrosargyrou 17:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• This needs a deal of thought. This is a mythical chronology (since others could be constructed from the legends), but 'according to whom?' A case can perhas be made that this is a fair record of Jerome's suggestions, if so, fair enough, but rename it 'Jerome's mythical chronology', and remove anything that goes beyond Jerome (as original research). The comparison with Egyptology is patently false: the Egyptian dates are a reporting of current scholarly ideas about real history. This article cites no secondary literature - so unless it is simply a record of Jerome's work then it ought to be deleted as original research. In short a) Rename and clean-up – as Jerome’s work b) or delete as original research c) or cite mainstream scholars who also adopt this chronology (but I doubt that’s possible).--Doc (t) 19:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Since Jerome used multiple sources including Eusebius, Castor, Diodorus and Apollodorus it is not actualy his chorology. Technically the chronology in question is referred to as the "Traditional Chronology" and was not exclusive to Jerome. I have already cited mainstream scholars who use this chronology within the margin of error including Michael Wood, Alden A. Mosshammer, and J. C. Stobart. Jerome's main source was Eusebius who he translated into Latin and there are more dates and reigns in Eusebius Preparation of the Gospel where he also cites Tatian. Eusebius main source was Diodorus Siculus who wrote a complete history from the time of the Gods up until about 50 BC. Diodorus considered the Gods to have been real people who were once kings of Greece. Almost every modern scholar agrees with the 1183 BC date for the end of the Trojan War and an 1450 BC date for Minos I of Crete.--Argyrosargyrou 19:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Quote from Michael Wood's "In Search of Myths and Heroes"; "The archaeologists' discoveries of Bronze Age (2300-700 BC) artefacts made it clear that the Greek myths and epic poems preserve the traditions of a Bronze Age society, and may refer to actual events of that time"--Argyrosargyrou 20:04, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep. I pretty much agree with Doc above, but I think this page has tremendous potential, of comparable significance to the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar, or at least Dates in Star Wars. We shouldn't have original research in Wikipeida, but many of our most interesting pages involve original integration. However, I am very concerned about the following sentence near the end: "The author reserves the right to update the chronology at any time as information becomes available." --Arcadian 20:42, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Weak keep. Useless as it stands, but there could be the seed of a good article in it. Frjwoolley 20:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep but sources should be added for each of the dates. Capitalistroadster 23:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but rename someting better. Subject matter is completely analogous to the Ussher-Lightfoot Calendar. Doc's comments and the original authors have convinced me to vote delete for now. Subject matter is interesting indeed, but it is too much original research as it stands, since the author used multiple sources without citing each entry. Articles on the separate formulated chronologies by Ancient and Medieval authors would be perfectly appropriate by the themselves, but not a chrnology that mixes or combines them as this one does. I would be inclined to vote keep if the author would agree to label each separate date according to its source(s), such the article is not presented as a unified historical work, but an assembling of Ancient sources. -- Decumanus 23:54, 2005 May 23 (UTC)
• Keep but expand (with more sources, commentary, etc.) and possibly rename if appropriate. — P Ingerson (talk) 23:57, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment the comparison to the Usher speculation is not appropriate - precisely because that is clearly designated as Usher's theory/research. This, however, is drawn from a number of ancient sources (although principally Eusebius/Jerome). Unless it is a generally accepted scholarly timeframe (and verifiably such), then it is by definition original research compiled from ancient sources. Further, were Greek myths narrated by the ancients with a consistent and discernable timeline in mind? - Or is that not a highly a dubious theory in itself? I say again, as interesting as this is, this needs labelled as someone's reconstruction (if you can reconstruct history from myths) or deleted. (And if we are combing archaeology with interpretations of the authorial intention of mythic literature then we are doing original research.) --Doc (t) 00:37, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Can we get an historiographer in here? --Doc (t) 01:02, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• I cleaned up the page somewhat, and added in a few footnotes. If the original authors of the article are reading this -- if you could get in some more footnotes, it would help the article survive VfD. The books seem legitimate, but if you could help tie the books to specific assertions, not just include them at a list at the end, it would really help. (By the way, I'm not that experienced with footnotes, so someone else may want to take a look and see if I formatted them right.) --Arcadian 03:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. This chronology needs more sources to back up some of its claims. Megan1967 05:21, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The creator of this page claims the nomination is due to "personal academic and religious bigotry". This is absolute nonsense. The problem with this is it's all unsourced dates for which the creator assembled willy nilly without references. In fact the article makes no sense at all, as these are straight mythical events with no historical veracity. Assigning dates to them completely unsourced as if they have real meaning is nonsense. I also highly suspect that the creator of the page is a well-known netkook who thinks these events actually happened in history. The "religious bigotry" line apparently refers to his religious beliefs, as otherwise the comment makes no sense. And I wish people wouldn't vote on this unless they take a step back and look at the overall picture of what the article is doing: Giving ridiculously useless dates to events that never happened. What kind of encyclopedia lets people wander onto this information as if it was really real? DreamGuy 07:27, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • Last comment: dates for mythology or even fictional events are not the problem per se (see Starwars etc.). The problem is whose dates are these? Starwars dates exist (consistently?) in the mind & work of Lucas. These dates relate to myths retold and recreated in disparate cultural situations over centuries. Do these narrators share an imagined timeline? Unless they are in the mind of one named author (Homer, Eusebius etc) and titled as such, or are reporting an accepted framework of modern scholarship – then they are original research. Citing different sources for different ‘events’ will not do – as their selection and amalgamation would still be idiosyncratic and original research. --Doc (t) 09:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Rename or Rewrite. I share Doc's mixed feelings. I do not think the article should be deleted, but only because of what I see as its potential. Obviously no one is claiming that these are accurate dates of real historical events. The article is related to mythology, not history. As a chronology of mythological events, I think it can be of great use to any scholar researching Greek mythology. This is because myths are not (just) meaningful in and of themselves, but because they are part of a larger body of literature (i.e. mythology), which has an underlying logic. The temporal relationship between mythic events is one clue to that underlying logic (the chronology in which the myths actually came to exist, to be told, to be written down, i.e. the chronology of literary events, is another matter — these are historical events and provide a whole other angle to analyzing mythology, equally valid, but different from the chronology of mythical events). However, in my own experience people within a culture may have widely varying views of the temporal frame of their myths — they may differ as to the order of events; they may differ as to whether the events occured in sequence or are all different ways of talking about the same moment in their "history;" or they may relegate myths to some ahistorical/nontemporal time. I do not know enough about Greek mythology and the literary and historical study of Greek mythology to know which, if any, of these possibilities applies to Greek mythology. I do know, though, that an article such as this must (1) be as clear as possible about who/what the source is for this chronology; when that source was composed/when its author lived; and an account of the historical context in which the author of this source lived, which gives clues as to how this chronology may have been used. Moreover, if there are differing chronologies, or among Greek writers wholely different views about the temporality of the myths, these views must also be represented. And of course, all properly sourced. Such an article will be worth far more than the "dates in Star Wars" article (which really just give us some insight into George Lucas's creative process); it will be a useful link to the article on Greek mythology, giving, or sparking, some insight into ancient Hellenic culture.

Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters

• Delete. Speedy Delete. Spurious RfC that was never properly certified Whig 07:16, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It needs two certifications. Both disputants certified it, therefore it was properly certified. jguk 07:40, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  The certification required is not by "both disputants," but by (at least) two editors having a complaint about another editor that they tried to resolve and failed, and both must provide evidence of their efforts. Your RfC made much of the fact that Lulu was "new to WP" implying at the very least that you are not so new as to believe that this is valid procedure. Whig 08:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy Delete. Not so much the certification point as just that it never had any meaningful RfC content to start with—no issue to resolve, just a bit of bellyaching over personal animosity. Or Merge with Hoax. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters 19:13, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

Seriously, can't the whole Lord of the Flies crowd find something better to do with themselves? In truth, Hedley is probably right on the administrative issue; but this whole "RfC" is to an actual WP:RfC roughly as Benny Hill is to Fellini. Lulu of the Lotus-Eaters

• Keep Not because I agreed with jguk over the dispute, but because the only reason to delete an RFC is whether or not it was certified. Lulu certified it, whether seriously or in jest, and he must take the conswequences. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 09:00, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  But you did endorse jguk's statement. This RfC has become a free-for-all and a parody on the whole system, at best. Whig 10:08, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  I said that that was not the reason for my vote. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 10:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Comment. I do not believe VFD is the right appropriate place to debate whether or not an RFC should be deleted based on whether or not it was certified within the 48 hour time limit. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 09:18, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• I agree with Zzyzx11. We should open an RFC on RFC procedure. I've attempted this in the past but it seems most people don't really care what happens to an uncertified RFC (and before I started cleanup duty there, they were kept for months). Speedy delete, imho, per RFC procedure. Radiant_* 09:58, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

  The question is whether or not there was a certification. In addition, there is the matter of the current RfAr against jguk, in which this RfC could play a part. I think it would currently be irresponsible to delete it; I think it would only be recreated in the future. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 10:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  According to RfC procedure, an uncertified complaint is to be speedily deleted, but I'm sure the arbitrators can still view it if appropriate (although I am not an admin, the capability to undelete implies that the RfC must persist in some way). I don't think this complaint would serve to bolster jguk's case, but he could reference it (or Lulu could do so as well, given that he has apparently entered an appearance on the RfAr docket). Whig 12:02, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  Whig - it was certified (by Lulu). His certification put off others from certifying it (leaving them to endorse it). It has now been certified by a third person. There is still a dispute, what is the problem with keeping it? jguk 12:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  Any admin or arbcom can review a deleted page as needed. This RFC was obviously not certified by two different users within 48 hours (as RFC procedure indicates). One certification is by Lulu herself and is obviously a cheap joke, and Susvolans's certification is from a week later. Radiant_* 12:32, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

  Whether or not admins or arbcomm members can, it is important for the transparency of the arbitration process that such a page is not deleted. There Is No Cabal. If Lulu had not certified the RFC, others would have done, I have no doubt. I don't see Lulu's certification as being a "cheap joke", but rather agreeing with jguk's summary. If that was not the case, he should strike it out and another 48 hours should be allowed for certification. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 12:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Actually, there is. Anyway - if lulu had not certified, others would have is speculative, and is contradicted by the fact that they haven't. It's common for more than two people to certify an RFC, after all. Radiant_* 14:50, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

  Incidentally, another user (Susvolans) has since certified the RfC, and I did check with another user that he would certify the RfC before I posted it - in the event, and no doubt because it was already certified (by Lulu), he chose to endorse the RfC rather than certify it. Kind regards, jguk 18:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Carnildo, the exact policy on user disputes on RFC is the following: Two people must certify the dispute by documenting their individual efforts, provide evidence that those efforts have failed to produce change, and sign the comment page within 48 hours after the RFC dispute was created. Otherwise, it is to be speedy deleted (unless the subject has explicitly requested it to be retained). The question here is whether Lulu counts as the second person to certify his own RFC. Clearly, Susvolans signed well after the two day deadline. Zzyzx11 (Talk) 22:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • What may be considered a related issue is the fact that one cannot file Arbitration against oneself (both Snowspinner and Xiong have attempted such, and were rejected). Plausibly, then, one cannot endorse RFC against oneself. Radiant_* 07:53, May 24, 2005 (UTC)

Other editors decided "he's made his own bed, we'll let him lay in it" and, understandably, no one else tried to certify it since many already felt it had the required threshold.

• This article should be deleted for the following reasons: 1) This entry seems to be written as an act of advertisement. In other words, if Jackson McNeil is a living being, this was written to bring "fame" to his name. 2) This entry has no relevance to history or encyclopedic matters, so I ask you this question, would this article be written in a Britanica Encyclopedia?

Like cola

I cannot find any references to this thing. A search for "Like cola" + "Made from the Cola Nut" (the supposed slogan) reveals one google hit, a mirror to Wikipedia. Unverifiable unsuccessful brand name. Probably not notable even if verified. Sjakkalle 08:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Yew Nork

We read that it's a meme, the name of New York City with the first letter of each word switched. (Wait, shouldn't that be "Coo, Nork Yitty!" or similar? Oh, never mind.) The origin's said to be obscure, but my friend Mr Google took me straight here. Now, if even Disney classes this Disneydatum as trivial, I think we can agree that it's trivial. Meanwhile, I submit that "meme" here is a fancy word for "neologism" or "term". Trivia, whimsy, neologism: take ya choice, but anyway delete. -- Hoary 09:15, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

Eyolf Østrem

Personal vanity, seems to be solely associated with Bob Dylan fan sites by Google, and still <2000 hits, all languages. Kiand 09:50, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

If Google was setting the standards for which articles should stay and which should be deleted, wikipedia would be a very sad place. The article was started 1 hour ago and should be edited, not deleted. Pernille76

Pernille, I'm sorry, but your friend Eyolf (and I'll grant you the benefit of the doubt in assuming that you yourself aren't Eyolf making a vanity page) doesn't seem to be notable. Running a website = big deal; millions of people run websites. What makes this Bob Dylan-centric website different from all other Bob Dylan-centric websites, of which there are hundreds? What else has he done? It's true that Google isn't the be-all and end-all of notability - I put up a page for [[Bruno_Th%E9riault|my family's piano tuner]], because it turns out he did notable and significant things in his life. Deletion isn't automatic - you've got a few days to prove that Eyolf deserves an entry, but don't expect us to do it for you. Abstain, for now DS 18:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Snæbjörn

The article is trivially short and seems unexpandable. It contains only such trivia as "Snæbjörn is not a common name in Iceland.", a dicdef, and the amount of people bearing the name.

This was the subject of an earlier VfD which yielded no consensus since several people suggested transwiki or merge. The article has now been put in Wiktionary, and no suitable place exists to merge it to. I therefore think that deleting it is appropriate. Radiant_* 12:28, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Previous VfD votes: Delete (6): RickK, Zzyzzx11, Angr, Radiant, Texture; Transwiki (1): Carnildo; Merge (3): BD2412, Kappa, Bjorn; Keep (2): SchmuckyTheCat, Instantnood
• Delete: Names are lexical. This isn't a common name. If anyone voting to transwiki is going to prevent the article from being acted upon at all, then something is desperately wrong with those cleaning out VfD. Geogre 17:39, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete: Wether the name is common or not isn't so much an issue for me. The fact that there is just so little to say about this name is. I don't think there is any need for this entry. --Swift 18:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

What Janie Found

This article has no less than three tags (not counting the VfD tag I placed) asking to improve its quality. The contents, as of the time of writing, are hopelessly unencyclopedic. They don't even mention whether this is about real life or a fictional story. Delete unless the article can be expanded, at least to mention what the bloody blazes it's actually about. — JIP | Talk 13:10, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• It's a real book, I have added a line saying so to the article, so I'm voting keep at the moment. However, I don't know if Wikipedia:WikiProject Books or Novels have particular guidelines as to how notable a book needs to be. In any case, the article is seriously in need to a clean-up -- Lochaber 16:19, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• If cleaned and clear and concise, keep. My suspicion is that it will be hard to rid the article of its pre-teen book report content. I hope I'm proven wrong, but send to cleanup with this VfD deliberation on the article's talk page. Geogre 17:45, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Concur with Geogre -- wants clarification & context, but clearly is an attempt to summarise a book that had an impact on the submitter --Simon Cursitor 19:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• KEEP This is getting ridiculous. Why do we even have cleanup tags, if VfD trolls are just going to ignore them? VfDs are for getting rid of articles that will never be encylopedic, not for punishing people who submit badly-written articles. ----Isaac R 21:13, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: VfD is not for getting rid of articles. VfD is for deliberating on whether an article has or has not violated the deletion policy. It is not an insult or punishment for an article to be listed here. Voters have to be trusted to decide on the right conclusion, and, if you do trust them, then stop, please, insulting people who list an article for VfD by calling them trolls. Geogre 03:13, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Speedy delete for nonsense seems fine to me. In Ireland many stone circles are? Huh? Their history is long and mystic? How is there sense in that? Stone circles meaning exactly what? Are these barrows? We already have articles on the red ochre graves, on the mound builders, etc. This is just nebulous stuff. No focus, no content. Geogre 17:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • You may want to see this link: [16] Revolución 18:14, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Ok. I still don't see the refutation. Irish megaliths, stone circles (not "stones circles" per this article), but no "history" of them, and no "deep and mystic." No redirect, because there's no content here and no chance of a search by this name. No content. Geogre 20:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. While (I hope) no one disputes the existence of stone cicles in Ireland, this article is not the one to describe them. Had this appeared with a speedy delete tag, I'd have obliged. Best delete and restart with a more appropriate title.Denni☯ 21:09, 2005 May 23 (UTC)

Takano, Yayori

Unverifiable. This page apparently was nominated for vfd back in February 2004 with no consensus; it has had an Accuracy Disputed notice on it since then, but has not been edited. A Google search (without quotation marks, given the inherent ambiguity caused by Japanese name-order being reversed in many Western sources) turns up many Wikipedia mirrors but nothing else to indicate that there is a "superstar" of this name. Russ Blau (talk) 15:10, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. No non-wiki google hits besides amateur track results. Angela's previous listing for deletion which edited out "She hates Kendall ALOT" and the fact that this is User:StupidFubi's only contributions make it almost certainly vanity and a hoax. DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

The person with a German/English site is not based in Japan and certainly not a superstar; nor are the Google hits all for her.

Toyota Truck Service Data

The subject is not encyclopedic, and there are no similar articles for other vehicle manufacturers. Furthermore, this article has no actual content. Though a free source of service data is a noble cause, it's not something that belongs in WP. -- Cleduc 15:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Section 377 of the Singapore Penal Code

Not encyclopedic in its current incarnation. I don't think transwiki is appropriate, or perhaps legal (my Singaporean law is a little iffy). Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 15:44, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Well then, why don't you reword it to make it more 'encyclopaedic'. You're right in admitting that your 'Singaporean law is a little iffy'. You should not recommend articles for deletion when you know nothing about the subject. The quotes are taken directly from the Singapore Statutes online. There is nothing iffy about any of the information given. Kindly remove this article from consideration for deletion as soon as possible.165.21.154.8 16:24, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I was less than clear with my wording. My concern with the legality was whether it is legal to quote such large sections, which arguably have Singaporean copyright. I believe in some countries that is the case. I was saying about the encyclopedicness – is that a word? – of the entry that it would be encyclopedic if it were included in an article such as Homosexuality in Singapore, but, on its own, it is not encyclopedic. BTW, I am not disputing the accuracy of the text. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 16:35, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • The legal code of Singapore is under copyright? PedanticallySpeaking 18:52, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
      • I believe in some cases that that may be so. Maybe I am misinformed. Smoddy (Rabbit and pork) 18:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
      • It wouldn't be the only country to copyright its laws. Several do. Canadian statutes are Crown Copyright, for example. Uncle G 03:20, 2005 May 24 (UTC)

• According to the Singapore Statutes OnLine, it states:

Copyright(c) 2001 Government of Singapore.

As a user of this website, you may only make copies incidental to your access of this website. You may also print out, and copy portions of the text in line with provisions of the Copyright Act (Cap. 63). You may not disseminate, incorporate in printed or electronic form, the contents of this website and its sample documents without the prior approval of the Government of Singapore.--Huaiwei 17:38, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Quoting two sentences for the purpose of discussion is not the same as reprinting or mirroring the Penal Code. It is not only perfectly legal but also right to do so. DoubleBlue (Talk) 00:50, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, unless Wiki is simply to become the world-wide edition of Halsbury's Statutes. A short summary sans quote and with conect would be more helpful. Also, the penal code probably is copyright, to prevent it being altered in citation--Simon Cursitor 19:28, 23 May 2005 (UTC).
• Keep. It only quotes two sentences from the penal code and then describes the history and use of the law. That is legal to quote for discussion and criticism. It is linked from Politics of Singapore and Homosexuality in Singapore and could, in future, be linked to other articles about Sex crime, past and present. It should be wikified but I believe it is encyclopedic. DoubleBlue (Talk) 19:45, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

Hedgerow_removal

I don't think this is quite necessary as an article. --Lejend 16:33, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• If it's not quite necessary as an article on its own, perhaps it could be merged with something suitable, such as hedgerow, without needing to bring it to Vfd. Or it could be kept and expanded, being a vitally important topic in soil conservation, biodiversity etc. Kappa 17:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Clean-up and expand. I believe an encyclopedic article is possible on this topic. This one is just poorly written. DoubleBlue (Talk) 20:21, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Soil erosion, with a "See also" in Hedgerow. The topic here is enclosures, soil erosions, water run-off, etc., seems to me, and if there is a reference/link in Hedgerow, we can move this content to its natural home. Geogre 20:46, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment I don't think that Soil erosion would be a good redirect. The problem with the removal of hedgerows has more to do with loss of habitats for wildlife. It's a problem mainly in England if I remember right.Leithp 21:17, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Leithp is right, it's a biodiversity issue in the UK. Maybe not up there with coral bleaching and the destruction of the Amazon, but still encyclopdeic. There are even grants now from the EU for not mowing so close to hedgerows so as to increase the space for fauna and flora. If not keep then merge with hedgerow. Sabine's Sunbird 01:40, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

Well, a merge with hedgerow would work for me, too. I just think the information is stranded at this location, and the discussion in it isn't really about hedgerow removal as much as land clearing. (In the US, the destruction of windbreaks is a big deal, as it destroys the soil and causes trees to topple as people cut hardwoods to put up pines and havestable trees.)

This is a hack for the MMORPG RuneScape. I'm not sure, but I don't think this is suitable to be here. Soon we will be having a hundred "crack your Windows XP!!!!11ONE" articles Sarg 20:43, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable and innacurate - autorune has not worked for some time since jagex encrypted the comms protocol.

Virtual device

"Virtual device" is not a term I've ever seen outside Wikipedia. Windows does have something called a "virtual device driver" (which is probably worth an article) but it's a completely different concept.

The files described in the article actually do exist, but they're called "special files" on Unix, and "device files" on DOS and Windows. Special/device files are actually a bigger topic, because they can represent both real and imaginary devices. But OS designers have never seen the need for a separate name for imaginary devices files. And even if they did, they wouldn't use the word "virtual" -- /dev/null isn't a virtualization of a real device, it's a pure software concept.

This article is now redundant with Device file and needs to go away. It should not become a redirect -- that would perpetuate a creative usage that only exists in the mind of the author. ----Isaac R 20:48, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, neologism. --Carnildo 22:44, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• keep. This is no neologism, but a term with a very, very long pedigree in UNIX and UNIX-like systems (just like it says in the article). Actually it probably even predates widespread use of UNIX. Here is an example of a RFC document produced by what was to become IETF, RFC 740, dated 1977, that uses the term in a commonplace manner, assuming that the reader understands what it means (and yes, we do). The relationship between virtual devices and special files is that virtual devices (like real devices) are implemented in UNIX using the special file mechanism. The article is wrong but the concept does exist and is distinct from special files. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 00:40, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • OK, I was wrong to claim that the term was never used before. But "virtual device" doesn't mean the same thing in that RFC that it does in the article. In the RFC, they're talking about a "virtual terminal", which is a software emulation (a virtualizaton) of a real-world device. In virtual device, "virtual" is used much more loosely, because none of the devices discussed exist outside of software -- you can't go to the computer store and buy a data sink! In other words, "virtual" is just a synonym for "pseudo". I challenge you to find another document where "virtual device" is used to mean "pseudodevice". ----Isaac R 01:34, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep -- virtual devices are well known and have a long and painful history. Remember VxDs? Arrgh. -- Cleduc 03:14, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Isaac obviously does, given that he mentioned "virtual device driver" in his second sentence. Uncle G 04:41, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
• Keep. Virtual device is a computing term in operating systems with a long history in Unix and Windows and possibly earlier. Try googling define:Virtual device. Quale 03:24, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • The fifth result in that search is this Wikipedia article, which is somewhat self-referential. Uncle G 04:41, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
    • And what are the other 4 results? You're talking to the wrong guy about this, since I started using Unix in 1981. Quale 19:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm talking to the guy who indirectly pointed to this article itself as a reference for demonstrating that the term exists. When you started using Unix is irrelevant. Uncle G 01:53, 2005 May 25 (UTC)
        • Well, it does make him an authority of sorts on Unix terminology. Then again, I started working with Unix even earlier than that -- and I simply never heard the term "virtual device" used. The man pages refer to things like /dev/null as "special files". ----Isaac R 03:04, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
          • Hey, I'm impressed. I know a few people who started with Unix in the mid-1970s, but not many. Also, I apologize to Uncle G for my peevishness. Sorry. 165.189.91.148 19:21, 25 May 2005 (UTC) Oops, not logged in. Quale 19:23, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• The things actually described in this article are not virtual devices. Linux calls them (character devices with major number 1) "memory devices", for example. The NUL device is not a "virtual device" on MS-DOS, OS/2, and Windows. (It's most often known simply as "the NUL device", given that it is singled out for special treatment.) There are things known as virtual devices, and indeed they are (most commonly) the things provided by virtual device drivers. (It's a shame that Wikipedia conflates virtual device driver with VxD, because that's wrong. Not all VxDs are virtual device drivers, and not all virtual device drivers are VxDs. On OS/2 and Windows NT, for example, virtual device drivers are VDDs.) The serial device seen by DOS softwares running in a Virtual DOS machine is a virtual device, for example. This article is completely wrong, but it isn't lacking for a subject to discuss. Keep and send to Attention. Uncle G 04:41, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
  • OK, I agree. The article does have a real topic -- it just isn't what the author thought it was! ----Isaac R 05:46, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep cleanup and expand. Long history in computing. Megan1967 05:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Strong Keep if there's a virtual device driver, then there is a virtual device. Quite a commonly used computing term. Internodeuser 13:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Incorrect. Many virtual device drivers just add features to the Windows kernel, much like Linux kernel modules. Officially, they're not even called Virtual Device Drivers, but rather Virtual Extension Driver -- hence VxD. Etymology does not always follow a logical path. ----Isaac R 00:57, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Ross Flitney

I would like to use this article as an example of a type of article which should be deleted. Ross Flitney was formerly a youth goalkeeper at Fulham F.C., he was released on May 23 after making no appearances for the club. Being a reserve player, let alone an ex-reserve player, for a premier league side should not make a person encyclopedic by any stretch of the imagination. Just from the era of the Premier League there could be literally 1000s of virtual sub-stubs like this. At this time of the season dozens of players will be released by Premiership clubs who clearly will not play at that level at any point in the immediate future. I am essentially requesting permission to delete all articles relating to footballers who are released by Premier League sides who have no Premier League experience, although I do not see why these players have articles in the first place.

Rje 20:53, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, recruitment by a premier league team is an adequate bar. 21:20, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, Not because he was with a Premier League team, but because he appeared for Brighton on loan [20]. A senior appearance is a good enough criteria for inclusion in my opinion.Leithp 21:25, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I have concerns over Rje's request for carte blanche to delete released premiership players. Are we talking about youth players who have never played, or are we talking about players who have played for other clubs prior to joining a premiership team and have made appearances outside of the top division? Also, I may be misunderstanding the situation, but surely none of these people would meet the criteria for speedy deletion in any case? Shouldn't these all be brought through vfd? I'd appreciate it if you could clarify what the intention is here. Leithp 10:46, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• So far as I understand it, he never appeared in a game as a professional player, correct? If so, then delete. However, my grasp of the structure here could well be incorrect. Meelar (talk) 23:15, May 23, 2005 (UTC)
  • According to Leithp he played for Brighton. Kappa 03:33, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This bloke has played three games before being unemployed. My benchmark for professional soccer players at least 50 games, selection for an international team, or appearance in notable game such as FA Cup or European Cup final. Capitalistroadster 00:45, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, as per Capitalistroadster. Megan1967 06:21, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• I remember his name from playing Football Manager, but he really looks not-notable. On the other hand we have an article about almost every player who was in MLS team squad, and the English Championship where Ross Flitney played with Brighton is a much more competitive league. Abstain for now. Grue 11:00, 25 May 2005 (UTC)

Garcilaso De La Vega

OK, this one is mildly complicated... Three articles exist currently:

1) El Inca Garcilaso de la Vega 2) Garcilaso de la Vega 3) Garcilaso De La Vega - which I put up for deletion, or merging, or redirecting.

The content of #3 refers to #1. However, the name of #3 refers to #2.

I propose redirecting #3 to #2.

Thus my vote is:

• Redirect Garcilaso De La Vega to Garcilaso de la Vega Hiberniantears 20:54, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect Garcilaso De La Vega to Garcilaso de la Vega Irpen 22:29, May 23, 2005 (UTC)

Antiquark

One-sentence "article" on uninteresting sciencecruft. Merge with quark and bah-leet. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 21:31, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. A common term in Particle physics. Details indeed should be in Quark. This should be a brief article about a term or (at least) a redirect. May even be found in science sections of major papers. Recently used in Science Section of the New York Times. Quote: "... a reduced amount of charmonium -- a particle that consists of a charm quark paired with an anticharm antiquark -- would be emitted in the presence of a quark-gluon plasma.". (See full text of "At One Trillion Degrees, Even Gold Turns Into the Sloshiest Liquid, The New York Times, April 19, 2005 Tuesday, Late Edition - Final, Section F; Column 1; Science Desk; Pg. 3, 803 words, By KENNETH CHANG")
• Keep. Not interesting to you or me but verifiable. It badly needs expansion but not by me. DoubleBlue (Talk) 22:34, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, plenty of other articles are nominated for deletion with the reason that they aren't "interesting", and plenty of people agree... Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 22:36, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Plenty of people are not interested in, say, History of Fiji (no offence, just an example). Doesn't mean it is a VfD candidate for obvious reasons. The fact that most people have a better clue about what's important or not in humanities than in science doesn't make science subjects less encyclopedic. Of course there may be crackpot articles that claim to be about science that are perfect for VfD. So would be articles about really narrow scientific topics. Antiquark is not one of them. Irpen
• Expand. If that is not possible, then redirect to quark. Eric119 22:56, 23 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to quark. There is probably no reason for it to exist a separate article outside the quark article. Nominator's comments display a profound ignorance of particle physics. -- Decumanus 00:22, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
  • Who cares if I don't know anything about particle physics? I don't think this article is interesting, which means it should be deleted, just like all the school and Pokemon and "fancruft" articles should be deleted because their nominators think THEY aren't interesting. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 00:25, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • As I suspected, you nominated this because you have a chip on your shoulder about Pokemon articles being called "fancruft." Trying to make a point with a physics related article is a pretty ridiculous move on your part, and displays an amazing lack of maturity (reflected in your vainglorious user signature as well). -- Decumanus 00:29, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
      • I fail to see how it's ridiculous. I think an article is useless, someone else thinks another article is useless, what's the difference? Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 00:38, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
        • "Fail" is good word for your behavior. -- Decumanus 00:51, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
          • OH WOW YOU ARE SO IMPRESSIVE I BOW TO YOUR MIGHTY PENIS. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 00:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
            • Careful now. I'd hate to see you get so profane. Personally, I don't mind your barbs, but there are others who prefer a modicum of civility in these discussions. -- Decumanus 00:59, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
              • Obviously, though, civility is not a requirement, or else usage of the debasing word "cruft" would not be allowed. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 01:04, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Expand or redirect to quark. - Etacar11 00:27, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. I have added a sentence about what happens when a quark and antiquark meet but I'm sure we have some people from a scientific background who can add more than that. Capitalistroadster 01:06, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • That happens for all antimatter. It's hardly specific to quarks and antiquarks. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. The debate rages on! 01:10, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • The statement added to the article has somewhat of an ambiguous meaning in the context of quarks because they don't "meet" in the sense implied. Free quarks are not observed to exist in nature, but are theorized to be bound in combinations within hadrons. The phenomenon of of creation/annihilation of free quark pairs would, at this time, be extremely speculative. It has validity within the context of QCD scattering theory, but it needs to be put into better context. -- Decumanus 01:24, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
• Redirect to quark --mav 02:23, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. WP:POINT. (And no, I don't care if WP:POINT is policy, semi-policy, or ultra-policy.) Ketsuban, if Poké-cruft is your concern, you'd be better off contributing to the discussion at Wikipedia:Poképrosal rather than disrupting VfD. AиDя01DTALK 03:02, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
  • It's not just "Pokecruft", it's also "schoolcruft" and all the other 'cruft that people feel is deleteable just because you can put the suffix "cruft" on it. Ketsuban has spoken. The debate is over. 03:58, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • So you'd rather be disruptive than contribute constructively to policy discussions? (There's one for the school issue, too.) AиDя01DTALK 04:56, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Redirect or separate, I don't know. But keep. DJ Clayworth 04:59, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to quark, for now. (The article has very little content.) If in the future the antiquark section of quark grows to be unmanageable then split it back out. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 05:50, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Three Quarks for Muster Mark. Klonimus 06:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect until such time as quark becomes over-fat, at which time split off again. --Simon Cursitor 06:58, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with quark. The two concepts are intimately related. Radiant_* 07:57, May 24, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - if a one-line article got this much debate, then it must be worth keeping. Add stub tag. Internodeuser 13:52, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
• The second sentence is misleading, and there's far more content about anti-quarks already in quark, where lots of accompanying context is keeping it warm. Redirect to quark. Uncle G 14:26, 2005 May 24 (UTC)
• Redirect for now. Bambaiah 06:20, May 25, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge & redirect for now, though re-splitting and expansion will probably be necessary at some point. James F. (talk) 21:01, 25 May 2005 (UTC)
• Merge & redirect (with quark). --Macrakis 02:17, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Comment only: in my opnion, this is not so much an attempt to be disruptive as it is an attempt to argue a point. (There are many ways to debate. Some people find certain ones more effective.) Given that there appears to be no current general discussion about how to deal with cruft in the context of VFD, I suggest that we start one. - 刘 (劉) 振霖 15:19, May 29, 2005 (UTC)
• I think you are missing the point. Fair enough, she is getting worked up over the cruft. I think that cruft is a stupid reason to delete an article. But just look at this article: It is one sentence! How can that be considered an interesting article. Wikipedia is not a dictionary, or something like that. Since no one has expanded it, Delete! Sonic Mew 19:39, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. If there is a sensible, non-confusing redirect possible, that's usually a better solution because it tends to limit the recreation of pointless substubs. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 20:54, 3 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Quark, create redirect to Quark BlankVerse ∅ 13:01, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with and/or Redirect to Quark, there just doesn't seem to be much that is encyclopedic to say about antiquarks as of 2005, I'm sure that may change one day – quite possibly to "Antiquarks were a quaint artifact of the Standard Model". — pcr^talk 22:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

There is no mention of the Pogroms in Istanbul/Constantinople or the ethnic cleansing of the islands of Imbros or Tenedos nor the massacres of the Ottomans, nor are there detialed facts and figures or dates which are on the Hellenic Genocide page. --Argyrosargyrou 13:27, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

The Resolutions speak for themselves. Keep the page.

• Keep - Most interesting article with true facts that seem to "hurt" some Turkish people. It is about time for the Turkish authorities to accept the ATTROCITIES which they have carried out during the last century against the Armenians, Greeks and Kurds!

• Keep Count my vote to keep this page. The Greek Genocide committed by the Turks has been officially recognized by Greece and the States of New York, New Jersey, South California and Georgia.

The fact that after decades of a fruitless denial, Turkey still cannot come to grips with these facts, does not make it reasonable not to present them or consider them disputable.

• Keep The articles of US and British newspapers of that period confirm the genocide that took place in Minor Asia and resulted to the extermination of all non christians. Please keep this page. Mark Tomson. USA
• Keep This is an excellent factual contribution providing information on a Gewnocide that has been hidden for too long because it is denied by the perpetrators, the Turks, who now are trying to remove it. It is a fact that probably a minimum of 1 million Greeks were murdered in a systematic act of genocide, and that fact should never be forgotten. In order to check facts, one only has to check census figures collected by the Ottoma\n Empire for minirities. Only the heads of households were counted. Where are those hundreds of thousands of heads of households now? Where are their families? Denying the facts of genocide permits genocide to be committed. This Genocide is a fact, as was the Genocide of the Armenians, now recognised by more countries each year, in spite of the insistance by Turkey that it never happened. To not have this article would be to politicise Wikipedia. For an introduction to this subject read a book written by a contemporary witness, US Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, read 'The Blight of Asia', available to read online and in bookstores.
• Keep The turks are responsible for the Armenian, Greek and Syrian Genocide and the EU is starting to press forward with this issue.. it seems that turkish propaganda is playing a detremental role. Until this very day churches are confiscated. By deleting this article, means that were are giving in to barbarism and lies. Hopefully this is not what wikipedia is about.
• Keep I think this is a well written article. The Turks should come to terms with their own history and stop being stubborn about it. Germany is a great example of a country that has repented for their sins. The European Union are pressing Turkey for this issue and also to have relations with Armenia. What are Turks afraid of anyway, true free ethnic equality?
• Weak Keep The topic is noteworthy in spite of the obvious problems with the current content. Whether the article content is accurate or POV should not drive the deletion decision. Those can be fixed via editing and fact checking. The debate surrounding the historical facts is relevant and there is content available to fix this article's content. Having an article about this topic is appropriate. My only reservations are about the chances of this article successfully reaching NPOV status. Due to the controversial nature of the subject matter I expect that will be a challenge. Tobycat 20:56, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. (Note that I am not a sockpuppet). I posted a blurb to the article's talk page before it was VfD'ed, but I'll post again here. The article as it stands now is a POV rant with major factual inaccuracies/distortions. I had suggested renaming to a less-inflammatory title or merging with other articles, but facts that I can find are scattered through several other Greek/Greece/Turkey/Turkish articles. It is a historical fact that Greek people were forcibly removed from Turkey, just like Turks were forcibly removed from Greece, Armenians from Turkey, etc. Pretty much every ethinc/national group in that region has been on the top and the bottom of the hierarchy at one time or another. All of these events are pretty important, if little-known, historical facts (read anything about the region by Robert D. Kaplan for some great predictions). They helped lead to WWI and WWII... may lead to WWIII. The entire family of articles about Balkan history needs a ton of work, but I don't know nearly enough to do anything. Sadly, most of the people who do know enough seem to be from the region, so they bring a strong POV to editing. Feco 22:20, 27 May 2005 (UTC) (changed my vote to delete) Feco 14:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but preferably merge parts. For example, the section on Cyprus should be merged with Turkish Cypriot Genocide and moved to some neutral article title discussing allegations of both sides. --Delirium 00:23, May 31, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The article should be keeped: it presents some kind of actual historic information which does not exist in other places of Wikipedia. Behaviour of both sides involved into the discussion should not be treated as reason to delete information, see Wikipedia:Guide_to_Votes_for_deletion. I think the article simply needs to be cleared up and extended with references to information sources. --Gvorl 13:10, 31 May 2005 (UTC)

• Keep The truth must be told! Read "the Blight of Asia" by George Horton, why would he lie?

Learn a little bit about Turkey and Turks...Most of the people living in Turkey who identify themselves as Turk are not ethnically Turkish. How anybody claim that Turks in Turkey are ethnically Turk? We are so mixed up. Armenian/Greek/Kurd/Arab/Turk/Caucasian...etc.They mixed up for centuries...The states in Anatolia during the 13th and 14th century were Byzantinum, basically Christian, then most of them converted to Islam due to the political and business reasons...Don't you see: We are same except religion...I travelled extensively in Greece, I love Greece and Greek people..I never had any bad experience in Greece, and when I shut my ears, everybody look like the people you can run accross anywhere in Turkey. Leave this hatred propaganda...We fought because of religion difference, the war ended 90 years ago, and Greek army was defeated. Leave it behind...Come and see Turkey, have Turkish friends...enjoy peace! -Cansın 19.08, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• Dear Cansin, there is no hatred propaganda. Greece and Turkey will be neighbouring forever. It would be a major step towards peace though, to help Turkey stop the denial approach of history and recognise the genocides. History always speaks about the past. Leaving it behind is forgetting history, which is not the right choice. In what concerns your references to Byzantium and Anatolia, well, this is your personal pov and I do not agree. The Ottomans were quite tolerant with other religions and ethnic tribes. The Young Turks however, were not tolerant. 20th century, that's when Anatolia stopped being a "mixed up" (multiethnic I would describe it) area.--Spryom 07:40, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

• People with accounts forgot to sign it as well and it was not me that started editing this page and listing peoples votes under headings, it was E.A who also removed peoples comments which he did not agree with, which I restored.

Argyrosargyrou 12:40, 26 May 2005 (UTC) Argyrosargyrou, rallying all of your friends/sock puppets to vote keep won't do a bit of good if they don't have established Wikipedia accounts. RickK 20:27, May 27, 2005 (UTC) Keep Karol 13:16, May 26, 2005 (UTC) Please explain your vote. RickK 20:27, May 27, 2005 (UTC) Keep The articles of US and British newspapers of that period confirm the genocide that took place in Minor Asia and resulted to the extermination of all non christians. Please keep this page. Mark Tomson. USA (Revision as of 21:19, 26 May 2005 212.70.194.23) Keep This is an excellent factual contribution providing information on a Gewnocide that has been hidden for too long because it is denied by the perpetrators, the Turks, who now are trying to remove it. It is a fact that probably a minimum of 1 million Greeks were murdered in a systematic act of genocide, and that fact should never be forgotten. In order to check facts, one only has to check census figures collected by the Ottoma\n Empire for minirities. Only the heads of households were counted. Where are those hundreds of thousands of heads of households now? Where are their families? Denying the facts of genocide permits genocide to be committed. This Genocide is a fact, as was the Genocide of the Armenians, now recognised by more countries each year, in spite of the insistance by Turkey that it never happened. To not have this article would be to politicise Wikipedia. For an introduction to this subject read a book written by a contemporary witness, US Ambassador Henry Morgenthau, read 'The Blight of Asia', available to read online and in bookstores. (Revision as of 22:09, 26 May 2005 AnnaL) Keep The turks are responsible for the Armenian, Greek and Syrian Genocide and the EU is starting to press forward with this issue.. it seems that turkish propaganda is playing a detremental role. Until this very day churches are confiscated. By deleting this article, means that were are giving in to barbarism and lies. Hopefully this is not what wikipedia is about. (Revision as of 10:41, 27 May 2005 62.252.32.14) Keep I think this is a well written article. The Turks should come to terms with their own history and stop being stubborn about it. Germany is a great example of a country that has repented for their sins. The European Union are pressing Turkey for this issue and also to have relations with Armenia. What are Turks afraid of anyway, true free ethnic equality? (Revision as of 20:09, 27 May 2005 138.5.97.153) Weak Keep The topic is noteworthy in spite of the obvious problems with the current content. Whether the article content is accurate or POV should not drive the deletion decision. Those can be fixed via editing and fact checking. The debate surrounding the historical facts is relevant and there is content available to fix this article's content. Having an article about this topic is appropriate. My only reservations are about the chances of this article successfully reaching NPOV status. Due to the controversial nature of the subject matter I expect that will be a challenge. Tobycat 20:56, 27 May 2005 (UTC) Keep. (Note that I am not a sockpuppet). I posted a blurb to the article's talk page before it was VfD'ed, but I'll post again here. The article as it stands now is a POV rant with major factual inaccuracies/distortions. I had suggested renaming to a less-inflammatory title or merging with other articles, but facts that I can find are scattered through several other Greek/Greece/Turkey/Turkish articles. It is a historical fact that Greek people were forcibly removed from Turkey, just like Turks were forcibly removed from Greece, Armenians from Turkey, etc. Pretty much every ethinc/national group in that region has been on the top and the bottom of the hierarchy at one time or another. All of these events are pretty important, if little-known, historical facts (read anything about the region by Robert D. Kaplan for some great predictions). They helped lead to WWI and WWII... may lead to WWIII. The entire family of articles about Balkan history needs a ton of work, but I don't know nearly enough to do anything. Sadly, most of the people who do know enough seem to be from the region, so they bring a strong POV to editing.

The anonymous votes were removed becaused they removed the 'deletes':

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVotes_for_deletion%2FHellenic_Genocide&diff=14258981&oldid=14258649

And Argyrosargyrou made no attempt to reinsate the deletes, but instead contributed to the vandalised version:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia%3AVotes_for_deletion%2FHellenic_Genocide&diff=14262531&oldid=14258649

Which is why i removed all the anonymous one time contributors, and left only registered Wikipedia votes, which even now account for no more than 4 Keeps:

Probable vanity article. A "great example of mid 90's rock" that doesn't Google and "was rarely heard". Delete, unless there is some evidence that they meet any of the Wikipedia music guidelines. --TenOfAllTrades (talk/contrib) 23:38, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

• Delete since it does not appear to meet music notability. This should have received a music-importance tag and not a VfD. Vegaswikian 04:54, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
