CyberX

From what little I and the BabelFish can discern, this is about an administrator from a German game. This game is so unremarkable that it doesn't have an article, and produces exactly no hits on Google. So why do we have an article on one of the admins? PMC 00:24, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Delete - there's a lot of games out there and a lot of admins... - Tεx τ urε 01:03, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Aren't foreign-language articles candidates for speedy deletion? blankfaze | •• 01:23, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Depends on the article. If it's a worthwhile article, it should be listed on Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English in the hope that someone will translate it. That page says "if someone speaks the language the article is written in and can state that it is not worth translating, the item should be moved to VfD", which I guess is the case hhere. The only case listed as a speedy deletion candidate is if someone copies an article from a foreign-language Wikipedia to the English one. —Stormie 01:55, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
  - Ohhh. Thanks for clarifying. I vote delete, btw. blankfaze | •• 03:00, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Having read the Google-translation, and noted that the website mentioned in the article doesn't even exist, I think this should certainly be deleted. —Stormie 03:16, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
Delete as is. I thought this was going to be about the Japanese trance band Cyber X. RADICALBENDER ★ 13:44, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Thomas Sokol - Glee club part 1

Delete - vanity - local professor at Cornell - from the gleeclub website - Tεx τ urε 00:50, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
A little bit more notable than the average professor, but not much. That "posted with permission" at the bottom bothers me too. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:52, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Space Madness

Entertaining nonsense. A candidate for BJAODN. Wile E. Heresiarch 01:36, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Amusing, but delete. (The suggested article on Hollywood distortions of diseases might be encyclopedic, though.) Rossami 02:12, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Haha, BJAODN and delete. "Some fine text book examples..." I love that part. blankfaze | •�• 03:03, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Definite BJAODN, and I'm a total fiend for the original "Ren and Stimpy." Delete and redirect there. - Lucky 6.9 05:30, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. DJ Clayworth 14:33, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Glad to have amused you guys... I guess I should calm down and stop making posts like this, however, looks like it had some merit. Hears to free drinks! P.S. Is this where I vote to not delete? Or did I just do the opposite? --Dan 20:58, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- This is the place to vote for either deleting or keeping articles. Posting here does not count as an automatic vote for deletion (except for the first post). MK 19:38, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Template:Aotd

Also the redirect MediaWiki:Aotd. Not updated and used only on Sennheiser's user page. Likely to confuse people who come across it thinking it really the article of the day when it isn't. Not updated since February. Angela . 01:53, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Frank Holwell

Australian primary school teacher. College professors get articles, but certaintly not primary school teachers! blankfaze | •�• 03:18, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Non-notable, mostly unverifiable, probably vanity. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 04:14, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
5 google hits for "Frank Holwell" Sorrento , delete -- Chris 73 | Talk 04:37, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Absolutely, positively delete. This would be the start of an exceptionally ugly trend if allowed to stay. - Lucky 6.9 05:33, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Agreed. --Revragnarok 11:23, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Delete. Not notable enough, sorry. Meelar 13:30, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Biomatics and Bioinfotronics

Idiosyncratic neologisms coined by Jong Park whose vanity page was recently deleted. Google hits are WP, mirrors, and Jong Park's web sites. Wile E. Heresiarch 03:44, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I could have tolerated it a little bit, but then I realised it was an acronym. Delete! Rhymeless 03:54, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete both. Biomatics was coined eight years ago and still not in use by anyone but Jong. What do you call a neologism that isn't new? SWAdair | Talk 03:59, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
DELET (Disappear Entirely, Leaving Ephemeral Talk), for good reasons given by others. Dpbsmith 14:32, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete personal neologisms. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:57, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List of non-Puerto Rican residents of Puerto Rico

Please. What's next? List of non-American residents of the United States? RickK 04:23, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)

Agree. Besides it seems antagonistic. KeithTyler 04:36, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
How about List all non-Puerto Ricans that ever had a holiday in Puerto Rico? -- Delete -- Chris 73 | Talk 04:36, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete per reasons stated. This is useless information. - Lucky 6.9 05:36, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
A giant "who gives?" here. DELETE ;) --Revragnarok 11:22, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
delete. large stupidity. but I think that a List of non-Martians residents of Earth would be interesting.-Pedro 19:26, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Keep. Lists much sillier than this have been kept, even after VfD. Wyllium 20:29, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete - Can't think of any good list jokes - Tεx τ urε 23:09, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Good laugh though.CSTAR 22:41, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. This list is either poorly researched or poorly titled. It is actually a list of semi-famous non-Puerto Rican residents of Puerto Rico. What about non-famous Dave Thornhill, who moved to Puerto Rico in 1997 to work as an assistant manager in one of Aguadilla's largest hotels? How about Anne Shaw, currently wanted in Canada for kiting cheques, who is living and working as an accountant named Grazia Lopez in San Juan? And what about the entire staff of the Arecibo Radio Telescope project? Huh? Huh? Denn i 02:33, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)
Keep. Of interest to three million Puerto Ricans. Antonio Latinos in your Face! Martin
- Really? Like the entire population of Puerto Rico gives a rat's ass? Denn i 04:38, 2004 Jun 14 (UTC)
Delete and start List of things we don't need lists of. -- Cyrius|✎ 05:31, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. Non-encyclopedic and potentially divisive. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 04:56, Jun 14, 2004 (UTC)
