About Green Field

Delete or send to major cleanup, it is written in first person and appears to be an advertisement. Jersyko 05:13, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep and move to Green Field Mountaineering Club and make sure to delete current title after move. Page contains enough information for its article. I didn't even know where it was located until I read the article. --Ryan! | Talk 06:15, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • Nonsensical vote aside, Aelianus Tacticus appears to be another username of Aeimnestus, who in this discussion admits to being Faethon, a public account. Android79 14:10, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes of course I am Faethon. If you dont like my vote, you are welcome to login to my account and change it. The password is the same as my username. :-) Aelianus Tacticus 17:25, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • As is agreed practice for these votes here and on meta I have struckthrough the nonsensical part. Please see Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Iasson and its talk page. Thryduulf 18:38, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Newbomb turk

This sub-stub reads, "Newbomb Turk is a fictional character from the 1980s movie "The Hollywood Knights". He is played by Actor/Comedian Robert Wuhl." End of stub. There does not appear to be an appropriate place to merge this article. How might this text potentially benefit visitors to Wikipedia? Should it be expanded? Is it remotely encyclopedic? --GRider\^talk 00:01, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• GRider, please tell me what you think should happen to Newbomb turk. It is your responsiblity as nominator to clearly tell your fellow Wikipedians what you think should happen as a result of the nomination. —Markaci 2005-03-15 T 00:10 Z
• Keep He was the central character, and has 3,070 Google Hits, quite respectable for a 1980 movie character. Also, New Bomb Turks are named after him. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:13, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• This could almost certainly be redirected to the movie. In addition, I want to concur with Markaci that Vfd is not Jeoparody, and your nominations should not come in the form of a question. Meelar (talk) 00:54, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with The Hollywood Knights. Move if no such article. Demi ^T/_C 01:39, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
  • Agree with Demi. Merge or move. RickK 05:47, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and move to Newbomb Turk. Passes the Google test easily. --Ryan! | Talk 06:17, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

Slang dic def that doesn't seem to be in use. All the google hits I've scanned are for coincidental pairings of the two words, not this usage. Niteowlneils 00:14, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Probably the same, uh, individual responsible for all the others. I'm biting my tongue here, friends, so I'll stop now... - Lucky 6.9 03:44, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Automatism and the computer

• Delete Vanity Page Article created by Daniel C.Boyer in Dec.2003 to promote his friend, the surrealist Pierre Petiot the author of, "Surrealism and the Machine", a theoretical essay that is supported only by Boyer and his friends(also vanity mention of another Boyer friend, Richard Genovese). Note: the original reference source is to another friend of Boyer's, J.Karl Bogartte at "Surrealism and the Machine". The article is very misleading on topic that has never been verified outside of the article on Wikipedia! I cannot find any other reference sources outside of Wikipedia on topic, Automatism and the computer that does not have anything to do with Boyer and his friends. Note: Automatism is a valid topic, but I have never seen it referenced with the computer until I came across Wikipedia article, the only reference source on a subject written by friend of Boyer. Advertising and Spam.Classicjupiter2 00:34, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Classicjupiter2's campaign of trying to get all articles related to surrealism deleted continues. He does not specify why he describes the article as "very misleading". He does not state that he believes that automatism cannot be applied to the computer. What is he even talking about? Classicjupiter2, do you know that Matta was working with the computer shortly before his death? --Daniel C. Boyer 16:16, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to Surrealist automatism. I have no problem believing that people doing automatic writing use computers. But there's no reason it needs its own article. I don't think this really falls under advertising, spam or vanity. DaveTheRed 02:02, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge agree with DaveTheRed. Not really advertising or spam in any traditional sense (some of the other surrealist stuff recently on VfD is, though) Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:20, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge as suggested above, preferably without the reference to Mr. Petiot. This isn't advertising, per se, but it doesn't belong in its own article, either. Android79 04:39, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

• The Merge vote appears to be the most appropriate from the feedback on here. I would approve of a merge as long as there is no mention of Petiot, but we need to see more references on this topic. Does anyone know of any books, publications, etc., that mention this topic of Automatism and the computer? Though there exists a very large amount of material on Automatism itself, I am still looking for material on its use with the computer.Classicjupiter2 05:04, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Why (other than your dislike of him), do you think there should be no mention of Petiot? --Daniel C. Boyer 16:16, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Don't forget, if you change your vote in the course of the VfD, you have to delete (strikethrough) the old vote. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 10:56, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge the article (or the comprehensible, genuinely informative bits of it) to Surrealist automatism, for the reasons given above. -- Hoary 07:40, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
• Merge conservatively to Surrealist automatism. Postdlf 17:47, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge - real technique; I've used it myself. I think that Brian Eno's book "A year with swollen appendices" may mention it - he uses similar techniques in his music, largely using Koan software. Grutness|^hello? 10:56, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge could be merged with Automatism. --sparkit 19:28, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep or merge. Valid article subject, invalid VfD nomination from sockpuppet. ~leif ☺ _HELO 22:28, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Christian poetry

Seems to be several of some persons poems. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 00:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC) Withdrawn, new version is much more appropate, Keep. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 20:01, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, original unencyclopedic "creation." Demi ^T/_C 01:37, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
• Keep but Rewrite completely. The current article is crap, but the topic of christian poetry is encyclopedic. DaveTheRed 01:49, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I agree that the topic could probably have a fine article, but if we kept it now it would still have the current contents in history. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:22, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete; either a copyvio or original prayers; then add to Wikipedia:Requested articles. -- Smerdis of Tlön 05:02, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep article in current form. Kappa replaced it with a valid stub, and I've tried to expand it with a bit of historical material, difficult for such a vast topic. -- Smerdis of Tlön 15:35, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually DaveTheRed got the ball rolling. Kappa 18:33, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Speedy deleted. If not a copyvio, an invalid use of encyclopedia space. If you want an article with this title, go ahead and create it now. RickK 05:52, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok, done. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Christian poetry could fit in one of those small communion cups. Any addition help is more than welcome. DaveTheRed 09:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 10:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Hmmm I wonder if Megan is voting on the new article or the old, deleted one. Better vote Keep anyway. Kappa 12:37, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• An article would be nice, but a stub stating the obvious (that Christian poetry is poetry with a Christian theme) is not, and neither is a list of Christian poets considering the ubiquity of Christan mythology in pre-contemporary European/American art. Delete. Radiant! 13:10, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • I wish deletionist would play fair sometimes. You want to add in 3 delete votes for a now completely non-existent article? If you watch carefully you might see how a mere list can become the basis for a very useful and interesting article. Kappa 18:33, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I don't quite follow you. What is unfair here? Did you see me voting three times for this article? Sorry but I really don't get it. I hold that the topic even as rewritten is unencyclopedic, hence my vote. As it stands it is turning into a 'list of poets who use reference to Christain mythology' which is not informative since that applies to almost every western poet. Radiant! 08:25, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment - If I understand deletion policy correctly, then the new article is not up for deletion right now. The old VfD was resolved when it was speedy deleted. This new article is a start from scratch, and has no relation to the old article, or its VfD. If for some reason you feel that the new article should be deleted, you need to renominate it as a new article. DaveTheRed 19:10, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep the rewrite. RickK 21:15, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
• So Christian poetry is "any poetry that contains Christian teachings, themes, or references." Hudathunk? Delete Denni☯ 00:58, 2005 Mar 16 (UTC)
• Keep the new article. It needs work, but it's clearly encyclopedic. --Angr 06:48, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. - Mustafaa 06:53, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The new article is a good start thanks to DavetheRed and Kappa. Capitalistroadster 09:49, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Clearly now a good start. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:34, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. As re-written, a good stub. Jayjg ^(talk) 21:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Valid topic if rewritten. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Transport Empire

As the person in charge of this project, I probably shouldn't be taking any part in any debate about this. However, I do know the state of my own project, and it's certainly not advanced far enough to get into WP. Maybe when it's further down the line, but certainly not right now.

Ballarat Cricket Association

Local sports organizations are not sufficiently notable for wikipedia entries, delete--nixie 03:52, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, upon reflection, local sports organizations are important enough for inclusion and necessary to coverage of amateur and children's sport in their area. Yes, I know there are a lot of them. Could be merged with Local sports in Ballarat if such an article appeared. Kappa 04:58, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, local organizations are not inherrently notable, although I might be willing to change my vote if someone could show that they were either sufficiently large or operated outside of the Ballarat area. DaveTheRed 08:53, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Local sporting organizations are notable. Particularly so ones in major towns like this. Add to that the fact that Ballarat is right at the heart of one of the world's major cricketing centres. The BCA is big enough to have hosted international matches (Ballarat played against the touring England team in 1933 - possibly the most infamous cricket tour of all time). Ballarat has hosted full international matches as recently as the 1990s. We're not talking just some small village sports team here... Grutness|^hello? 10:08, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • There have been many country towns that have hosted international touring matches, however the overseas sides that play these matches are usually not the first XI and the matches are not regarded as Test standard (England sides that play these matches are often always called MCC rather than England to denote that fact). Ballarat has never hosted a Test match. I'm looking at a map of Victoria and I dont understand your comment that Ballarat is "at the heart of one of the world's major cricketing centres" - if it was Ballarat it would standing in the middle of the MCG or SCG and that is physically impossible. Megan1967 10:25, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, England touring teams are now denoted England XI, to note the fact that it isn't a Test. Smoddy (_t^g_e^c) 19:47, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I never said it was a test - I said a full international match. England vs Sri Lanka, ODI, March 9, 1992, Ballarat CA Ground, Ballarat. It was one of the matches at the 1992 World Cup. At least four full international players have started their careers at Ballarat, too. Grutness|^hello? 06:05, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, concur with Megan. Also, nearly every minor village has at least one sport organization. That doesn't make them notable. Radiant! 11:56, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Since every minor village has an article, what are we going to say about them if we can't talk about their sport organizations? Kappa 12:21, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Since there isn't anything interesting to say about the average sport organization, a brief mention in the article on the village itself would suffice. Think of how different your local hockey club might be from my local hockey club - chances are it isn't. Radiant! 13:05, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
      • I think the chances are that it is. Different date of foundation, different number of members, different frequency of play, different level of success, different age ranges, different male/female ratio, different facilities, different local rivals, different amount of training, different involvement with other local institutions... Kappa 18:21, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • The question is, why does every minor village have to have an article? Unless there is some historical notability for the village, do we need an article for every one of them? Megan1967 04:57, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Ballarat is not a minor village. It is the second-largest city in the state of Victoria - a "village" of 90,000 people. And cricket is the major sport of the area.The equivalent in the UK, for instance, would be a sports club of the stature of, say, Leicester City football club. In the US, the equivalent might be whatever the basketball team in a city like Reno or Provo might be. Grutness|^hello?
        • Third largest, unless Geelong just fell into Corio Bay. ;) Ambi 06:08, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The Ballarat Cricket Association has hosted international cricket matches since Plum Warner took a team there in 1902-03. The England team went there at the height of Bodyline and there was controversy about remarks made during the luncheon. I have added this to the article and will add stuff about the one day international. Capitalistroadster 09:12, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Muertos Incomodos

No vote for now. Article is a one-line (not even a complete sentence) description of an apparently Web-published book. My Spanish is rusty at best, so any help in verifying the notability of this book would be appreciated. Android79 04:26, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

• The book itself doesn't score much in the way of notoriety, lacking any kind of critical review, and it seems to be more a novella published in a Mexican periodical than a book. One of the authors is a figure of relative notoriety and importance however, so perhaps a Redirect or a Merge with Subcomandante Marcos is in order. Arkyan 07:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Just noticed an article with slightly more comment at [[Muertos_inc%F3modos]]. Whether or not that stub is worth hanging on to or listing on VfD I'm not entirely sure, but if nothing else this article needs redirected there. Being relatively new I'm hesitant to step on the VfD and redirect it now, but I did want to point out the alternate article.
  • And being relatively new I forgot to sign the above. Arkyan 07:31, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect as per Arkyan. And muertos incómodos means uncomfortable deaths in Spanish. DaveTheRed 08:45, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 09:06, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Yes another comment. I did some research on the subject and expanded the article at [[Muertos_inc%F3modos]]. Seems it did generate some interest in Mexico, and I think it is more than worthy of keeping, as long as we redirect this rather pointless stub to the more comprehensive entry. Oh, and muertos incómodos does mean uncomfortable dead; uncomfortable deaths would be muertes incómodas. Arkyan 20:53, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• This substub would be no great loss. Seems to have potential, though, weak keep. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:43, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Redirect to Muertos incómodos, which is now 3 good paragraphs and 2 ExtLks. And both authors are important figures in the country of origin: see es:Paco Ignacio Taibo II and/or search for "clinton" on here. No doubt an English xlation of the novel(lla) will be along shortly. –Hajor 06:14, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Awties

Incomplete nomination from the 9th of March. Appears to be a neologism of no consequence--nixie 05:03, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• This discussion, of what the name is for the decade from '00 to '09 is, came up at the start of the 20th century and again at the start of the 21st. Various words ("aughties", "noughties", "oughties", "oh-ties", and even "naughties") were suggested. If this is a neologism, it's one that's over 100 years old at this point, making it only the second oldest such "neologism" that I've encountered this week. ☺ The article title is of course the phonetic spelling of "oughties" by someone who has obviously never seen the word written down. ☺ The discussion of the difficulty in coming up for an equivalent of "the sixties" and the various words propounded is of course a quite proper topic for an encyclopaedia article, and one that I think to be encyclopaedia-worthy. The difficulty is, of course: What does one call the article? Keep, Rename to names for 00-09 decades, then Merge the naming section of 2000s to here. For decoration and flavour, add redirects for all of the other common names to names for 00-09 decades. Uncle G 16:22, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
• I haven't heard this referred to as "Awties" before, but I have seen references to the "Oughts". Probably needs work, as Uncle G suggests, but should be kept or redirected. Edeans 20:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

List of Sesame Street characters by last known appearance

Delete This is ridiculous.

Delete Page is not close to complete, it doesn't add value, it can easily be absorbed into other Sesame Street pages. And so on. Ringbark 09:32, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Just pause the vote for a week, please, so can rally the Muppet community to help. This page isn't as worthless as it may seem. Most posts by newbie of Muppet posting boards is "when did they get rid of..." So, if there's this many people willing to join boards, post their queries, and wait for answers, there could be millions more than would like to have these questions answered in a snap. Yes, the information on this page is covered in each character's bio, but it provide a condensed resource for most people, who wouldn't want to hop, skip, and jump around Wikipedia for answers. -- user:zanimum

• Delete. Wikipedia is not a general information base. We have an article List of Sesame Street characters, which lists them alphabetically. This is exactly the same list, with the addition of one item of data (date of last appearance), and a different sort. How many different sorts of the same basic data are we going to have? Each separately, and manually maintained, and therefore out of sync. How about: by date of first appearance, by number of appearances, by total length in minutes of appearances, by color, by height, by name of voice actor who played them, etc, etc. It is stupid. If somebody wants to create an online database of muppets and their appearances, and let people query it in all manner of wondrous ways, he can do it. He can even put a link to it in the appropriate Wikipedia articles. But Wikipedia isn't that database. --BM 13:00, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Separation of style and content

Delete That's exactly why there is CSS. I believe most of the content is already cover in the CSS article. --Minghong 18:56, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, I don't believe Cascading Style Sheets are the only example of separation of style and content. Kappa 19:41, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Kappa's right, it is possible to separate style and content without using CSS. This article should be expanded to deal with the subject more generally. DaveTheRed 23:08, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. It's a great introductory article on the separation of style and content, which is surprisingly hard to find on the web. It's especially helpful for people from a non-IT background, such as recordkeepers and information managers, which is my intented audience and research area. --Ness79 04:36, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Bouncing stones

Encyclopedically notable or unreferenced, unverifiable nonsense? Which is it? --GRider\^talk 19:31, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I count two keeps, two redirects to Advogato, and two ambiguous (GRider's and Raph Levien's). Further discussion of a merge should take place at Talk:Raph Levien. —Korath (Talk) 00:45, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Raph Levien

What about this article illustrates encyclopedic notability? --GRider\^talk 22:05, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• GRider, please tell me what you think should happen to Raph Levien. It is your responsiblity as nominator to clearly tell your fellow Wikipedians what you think should happen as a result of the nomination. —Markaci 2005-03-15 T 23:06 Z

• Redirects are cheap, use them. —RaD Man (talk) 02:08, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• The case for the article (Disclaimer: I started this article. Note User:GRider has not been willing to discuss the merits of this article informally)
  • Raph Levien's work worth documenting on WP and which does not fall under the aegis of the Advogato article includes:
    1. His work on trust metrics, especially his idea of attack resitance, which turns out to be an interesting, multiply realised idea;
    2. His work on imaging software, and his leadership role in free software implementations, most notably his stewardship of the free branch of the Adobe Ghostscript software, and his libart implementation;
    3. He's a significant and widely recognised voice in the free software community, which has a lot to do with starting Advogato, but has faces outside Advogato.
  • The article is not encyclopedic at the current time, but it potentially could be, as is appropriate for a stub. If you give me a chance it will grow. ---- Charles Stewart 10:26, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Charles Stewart 11:08, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep if Charles promises to expand this bio-stub since he knows a lot about the person. Radiant_* 09:46, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• This nomination is not correctly formed. Please read the instructions. Chris 03:00, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• I'm not sure if this is proper form or not, but there are a few more accomplishments that may be relevant:
  • In March 2000, I made a patent grant of my patent portfolio to the GPL community. This step was considered by some to be a good example, and may have been precedent for IBM's subsequent patent grant in January 2005.
  • I have not only written a number of papers on innovations in halftoning technology, but the algorithms are used in Gimp-Print, as well as by several commercial customers.
  • I did a significant amount of early work on the anonymous remailer network, including writing an early client (premail) and developing the first automated statistics-gathering tool.
  • I submitted a Commodities Jurisdiction Request for the "RSA in 4 lines of perl" t-shirt, which played a small but notable part in the ultimately successful effort to relax crypto export regulations.
  • I am at present the only other significant contributor of theorems to Metamath aside from its original author. Metamath is considered one of the Seventeen Provers of the World.

There is a fair amount of ongoing work which is not yet encyclopedic (including my current PhD research on splines, my design work on a next-generation Metamath, and some font designs in the queue, but my hope is that as this work progresses it will justify the continuing evolution of a wikipedia page. --Raph Levien 06:58, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Sibyll Trelawney

How is this fictional character notable outside of the Potter series? Is she even notable within the Potter series? In what way is encyclopedic notability being established here? Please discuss. --GRider\^talk 22:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, she is notable outside Potterville because Emma Thompson played her. Kappa 23:27, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Strong Keep Important character from a very famous book series. More than 100,000+ Google Hits if we search under "Professor Trelawney", "Prof. Trelawney", "Sibyll Trelawney, and "Sybil Trelawney". These nominations are starting to get a little silly. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:10, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
• Very Strong Keep. Are you joking? Sibyll was played by Emma Thompson in the last movie. Surely you've heard of her? DaveTheRed 01:55, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • 'Comment. I notice Ms Thompson also played Elinor Dashwood in Sense and Sensibility - and there is no article for that character. Average Earthman 09:22, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • No, of course I didn't mean that any character played by Emma Thompson is encyclopedic. I meant that this particular character in Harry Potter was played by a big hollywood actress, and was therefore obviously notable. But you already knew that, didn't you? DaveTheRed 02:52, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I'm sure you don't mean that every single character played by a major Hollywood star deserves an article - e.g. if someone created an article for the characters played by George Clooney or John Travolta in Thin Red Line, it would be a deserved deletion case. Notable actors, notable film, but clearly not notable characters (since they're just cameos). Your argument is too general. Average Earthman 12:18, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Obviously; reasons stated above Lectonar 11:11, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I like the Harry Potter universe much more than the Pokémon universe, and Trelawnwey is a major character. She makes two important prophecies, one of which guides the entire Order of Phoenix novel. Not even close for deletion. Sjakkalle 09:43, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Mad-Eye Moody is a fairly important character in Books four and five of the Harry Potter . Capitalistroadster 10:35, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. And he's even more notable than Mundungus Fletcher Lectonar 10:59, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a very notable character, usually nicknamed "Mad-Eye Moody". GRider ought to stop his crusade against Harry Potter characters. Sjakkalle 09:21, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm pretty sure it's not a crusade, don't worry. Radiant_* 09:47, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. None of this "extremely strong" silliness, mind you. Just your plain, average, run-of-the mill keep. If he's going to appear in the next movie, he's not exactly minor, but I don't see the point of all the fuss. — JIP | Talk 14:16, 17 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Mundungus Fletcher

This article begins with the opening sentence: "Mundungus Flectcher was mentioned in passing in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets". Is "encyclopedic notability" a requirement for inclusion on Wikipedia? If so, does writing 3 paragraphs about any given subject remotely attached to a notable parent subject bypass such an encyclopedic requirement? --GRider\^talk 23:04, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • This section of Wikipedia is called Votes for deletion, not Votes for inclusion; our fellow Wikipedians can speak for themselves. Thank you for spamming. --GRider\^talk 23:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, you should speak for yourself as well - by which I mean you should give your opinion on Mundungus (et al). If you think Mundungus should be deleted, you should tell us why. If you do not, you should not list him here. There are other places in WP to achieve consensus on a point of discussion. Radiant! 08:45, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
      • I think it is clear that Grider is either arguing non-notability or acting in bad faith. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt, and assume that he is sincere but obviously wrong. Keep.
• Strong Keep Ok, this is getting ridiculous. Yes, this character was only mentioned in passing in Chamber of Secrets, BUT, as the article goes on to say, becomes a significant character in the book Order of the Phoenix. Therefore, your nomination is misleading, to say the least. I don't know which possibility disturbs me more: 1). That you didn't bother to read the whole article before listing it for VfD... or 2). That you did read the whole article and deliberately left out the facts so as to mislead people into voting to delete. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:01, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)

  • Even though I disagree with this nomination, I disagree with delisting on principle, as it could too easily be abused since the definition of an 'invalid' nomination is not consensual.
