Contour plowing

Possibly speediable as being very short with no context. If not, a dicdef. Delete --BM 00:07, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to plowing or whatever title it's at. Note this there. Farmers, correct me if there's somewhere else this should go. Meelar (talk) 00:25, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• I've checked Category:Agriculture but couldn't readily find a page it could be merged into. I suggest putting a an agro-stub template on it and see if it attracts improvement within the coming week, if not: Merge like Meelar said --Hooloovoo 00:29, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Expand or Merge to plowing. Gazpacho 01:03, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and Expand: Contour plowing (or more correctly Contour farming) is one of many soil conservation practices (windbreaks, terracing, cover crops, etc.) recommended by the Natural Resources Conservation Service for agriculture. I suppose they could all be combined into Soil conservation practices but it would be quite a long article. See [1] for a list--although many are also water conservation practices. DialUp 03:16, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep and allow for organic expansion. Very important topic in its own right.--Gene_poole 04:19, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Important term in soil conservation. RickK 04:41, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for organic or conventional growth. Klonimus 08:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with agriculture, as it's most useful when in context. Radiant_* 08:52, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: I've created a soil conservation stub as a definition + examples. Kappa 10:49, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Important land management concept. Capitalistroadster 11:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and allow for growth or M & R to either soil conservation or tillage. Shimmin 14:42, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Important topic that needs time to develop.Gorrister 18:18, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Greatly Expand, or merge into the abovementioned soil conservation page. It is an important agricultural concept. -- Kaszeta 19:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have expanded this page significantly and other people have been working on it before me. Encyclopædia Britannica has an article on this concept albeit it is referred to as contour farming. Capitalistroadster 03:54, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Important concept. Do not merge. Dsmdgold 11:46, Apr 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Very important agricultural concept. Helps stop dust bowls. Icundell 00:19, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Excellent expansion. -- 8^D ^gab 03:24, 2005 Apr 12 (UTC)
• Keep. It's been expanded and doesn't need to be merged. Loopy 04:27, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Strong keep. A true example of "organic growth." The original (and rather sparse) entry was: Planting crops around the sides of hills. That's all. - Lucky 6.9 18:23, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was MERGE and DELETE. Moved some NPOV info to Tom Delay and Helen Giddings articles and deleted. Jinian 13:50, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Tom Delay arrested Helen Giddings

Delete. A POV article that does not follow naming conventions. If anything, information should be put into article on Tom Delay.--BaronLarf 00:10, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Merge between Tom Delay and Helen Giddings after suitable NPOVing. Is there a reason why Helen Giddings currently redirects here? -- Brhaspati (^talk_contribs) 01:46, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

  Because User:Political hack moved it from there. It needs to be moved back. Gazpacho 19:02, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete - What is the point of having a seperate article of this incident when we can just need to put this on his bio page? Helen Giddings should not redirect to that article either. Anonymous Cow 02:28, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Doesn't show the need for a separate article. RickK 04:42, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, POV fork. Megan1967 06:54, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge any verifiable and NPOV content to Tom DeLay and Helen Giddings, undo the redirect of Helen Giddings, then delete this mistitled page. Note that, although the Congressman from Texas specializes in delay, there is an uppercase "L" in his surname. Barno 14:55, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: someone please check the last two entries in the Tom DeLay article. Dates are given as "April 6, 2004" but "2005" may be correct for these. Barno 14:58, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge to either Tom Delay or Helen Giddings. Should not be it's own article.Gorrister 18:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Helen Giddings. P Ingerson 19:25, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• If any of this article's text is to be kept, then by my understanding of the license it can't be deleted. Moving the article and its history back to Helen Giddings (where it originated) would be allowable. Gazpacho 04:32, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Moving the article back to Helen Giddings would make sense.... if it really talked about her. There's only one offhand reference to Helen Giddings. --BaronLarf 01:14, Apr 12, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: It's been eight days since the last vote on this article, and it is getting worse, not better. Ahoerstemeier and TheGrza both tried to fix it and could not. The title makes no sense and the article is horribly POV. Political hack has now apparently set upon making a wikilink for every single word. I will try to clean it up, but have no doubt that it will be put back to its previous state by Political hack. Could a moderator figure out the rough consensus here so we can make this encyclopedic? Cheers. --BaronLarf 02:07, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)

Harvey Smith (video game designer)

Non-notable, quite possibly vanity. Jeffrey O. Gustafson 12:35, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:47, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable game developer. Kappa 01:19, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. He looks notable, and unless he is not, I do not see reason to delete this article. Oklonia 01:21, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Just barely notable. I guess he stays because he was the main designer for a pretty major PC/Xbox game, Deus Ex: Invisible War. (MobyGames' Entry for proof) Heck, a game designer is pretty much like a movie director. So I guess stay. --Anonymous Cow 02:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, notable. Cleanup and expand. Megan1967 06:56, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Abstain article as it stands doesn't establish notability. Radiant_* 08:53, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep, near the edge of notability, per the Cow's reference above. Barno 14:59, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Hot 100 No. 1 Hits of 1952

Delete. The article is a mess. Doesn't link to anything and has no formatting. --Randolph 03:33, 30 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:50, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete. Too narrow in scope and not sufficiently notable by itself. Can be merged with a more suitable article if it exists. -- Brhaspati (^talk_contribs) 01:42, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)
• Clean up and keep, this is like the articles in of Category:No 1 hits in the United States but needs formatting and wikifying. --iMb~Meow 02:08, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

House Anaticula

After much thought and sobering, I now realise that this article isn't needed, just like we don't need an article on every little organisation in the world. I guess it counts as vanity. --huwr 22:30, 2 Mar 2005 (UTC)

IB geek

Delete. This is of dubious encyclopedic value and seems to be a rant against International Baccalaureate. Andrew pmk 00:43, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

• Delete -- useless and non-notable. It's more like a rant against kids taking an International Baccalaureate program. Zzyzx11 01:55, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - Non-notable, and aye, it seems most like a rant. -- Cabhan 02:06, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, nn. But there is a precedent for a keep with Band geek. However, I voted delete on that one, so this one goes too. --Idont Havaname 02:17, 17 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Changed the page, removed the "rant against the International Baccaulaureate" portion. I was in IB myself and agree with what this person was trying to say.

• Delete, POV. I am in IB and have experienced no such phenomenon. Wikipedia is not a repository for the sociological anecdotes of amateur high-school psychologists. Jdcooper 19:10, 7 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Karl Fogel

Vanity page. Someone else made this page about me, but I am not notable and can't see any justification for a Wikipedia page about me. Hence I am proposing this page for deletion.

• Delete - not notable Kfogel 01:34, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• This didn't find its way to the main VFD page until now. Weak keep. JYolkowski 01:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The 145's

Tried to search on the topic. Not getting results related to what the person was trying to say. The closest thing was a site with punk rock videos and the videos were from 1998.

Composite monitor

Two big problems with this article: 1) I've never heard of a monitor that output a video signal, and 2) composite video input is a feature of a monitor (usually considered a minor one), not a type of monitor. --Carnildo 03:42, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Rhobite 04:43, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and cleanup. I changed "output" to "input" as this was an obvious error. I've heard the term "composite monitor" used often before - it refers both to some professional video monitors designed for composite signals, and to some older computer monitors, such as the Commodore 1702 monitor that was often utilized with the Commodore 64 computer. There's enough meat here for a real article, but it will have to be largely rewritten. I'll see what I can do over the next few days. Firebug 04:53, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • When I said outputs the signal, I meant people can see the picture when the monitor is used therefore it is outputted visually rather than to other devices however some composite monitors have output jacks to relay video signals from connected AV devices to connected VCRs. --TheSamurai 22:34, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep and expand. Older PCs (in the CGA days) also sometimes used composite monitors. Might want to merge with monitor though, I'll leave that up to Firebug for now. Radiant_* 08:53, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Agreed. Keep. Good reasoning, Samurai!! - Lucky 6.9 03:41, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • Great, we can't cover Plato now? Kappa 00:05, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Sorry, Kappa, I was parodying your commonly used voting style and the way the article was written. Now that I see Plato used this significantly and Theosophists aren't the only ones who use it these days, I can't deny Plato what we give Ashlee Simpson. Barno 00:31, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I checked Wiktionary; they don't have this word. But I Googled without excluding Wikipedia, so I could compare possible derivative sites that aren't literal mirrors but use WP as their basis. Most of the top-ranked sites (first couple of pages) are legitimate academia, and not just copycat sites replicating a wikihoax or blog postings retelling an urban legend or Everything2 fluff. The concept is discussed in English as a concept by academics-of-philosophy without obvious local-ness. I doubt more than a thousand people worldwide knew the word or idea in any year for three millennia until maybe the last few decades. Did Oxford or Yale students learn this if they weren't philosophy majors? Based on quality (not quantity) of Google results, I'm changing my vote to Keep. Barno 00:25, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Keep --AYArktos 01:18, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC) (the word is in the Oxford English Dictionary (Compact Edition 1971))

• Keep. Seems to be important concept in Platonic philosophy. Capitalistroadster 10:08, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Weak Delete --I wrote the article, and I vote that it be deleted on the grounds that it is self-refuting: if 'peritrope' were a real thing, more people would have written about it already. Therefore, the writing of the article only serves to demonstrate that the topic needed to be written about. But this is to say that the article should never have been written, because 'peritrope' is far too idiosyncratic a 'non-topic' to ever be written about (if it wasn't, more people would have written about it, and there would have been no need for an article). In short: the article's very existence demonstrates a need for itself, which in turn can only be generated by the obscurity of the topic (its alienated and 'idiosyncratic non-entity' as humblefool put it).
• Keep, admittedly there is not much scope for expansion, however it is more than a dic def., correctly categorised it could be useful for people interested in philosophy.--nixie 03:42, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Two-hit wonders in the United States

I've never heard this term used in the music business. It's unencyclopedic. Keeping this article is like keeping an individual article for every type of -phobia and -philia that can be lexically constructed.

• Keep - despite the attack of the sockpuppet wonders, I think two-hit wonders is about as valid a topic as one-hit wonders - in my experience, they tend to be one-hit wonders who are able to parlay the fame of that one hit into... a second hit (which is usually a cover of another band's previous hit).

• Merge and redirect with One-hit wonders. IMHO, the term "one-hit wonder" doesn't strictly apply only to artists who had only one singular hit - it's more of a shorthand for "someone who had a brief burst of popularity but was unable to sustain a notable career." A "one-hit wonder" may have actually had more than one song hit the charts. Merging might help prevent a potential avalanche of 3-hit, 4-hit, etc etc etc. Soundguy99 19:56, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Additionally, the majority of the songs on the list do not even back up their claim of having exactly two songs among the top 40 - most in that list give a rank of ? instead of any useful information. In either case, this seems extremely arbitrary and unencyclopedic, as the term two-hit wonder isn't in common usage, and is probably just an obscure neologism, anyway. Arkyan 05:26, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)

WHY YOU NEED TO VOTE TO KEEP

ATTENTION TWO HIT WONDER FANS AND PROSECUTORS!

I just want to say that Two hit wonders are real!

If you are reading this, you may or may not know that the two hit wonder community's faithful devotion to two hit wonderism is currently under siege from doubters of the two-hit wonder craze. Those of you who frequent the hit wonders section of Wikipedia.com may notice some recent vfds. Click them to see the travesty of Wikipedia. A faithful member of the two hit community by the alias of "KelisFan2K5" has spoken out against prosecutors of the two hit wonder craze.

The problem right now is that there is a group of ignorant two hit wonder opposers who believe that two hit wonderism is "non-sense" and is vandalism and/or a false proclaimation. TWO HIT WONDERS ARE REAL AND IS SWEEPING THE GLOBE. OPEN YOUR EYES.

In order to support all the offended two hit wonder fans out there, and also to back up KelisFan2K5's bold stand, I will lay out my argument in a series of proofs.

Proof #1: It should be quite obvious by now that Two Hit Wonder Forums is a lively and growing fan community. What started out as a simple means of communication between friends of the wonders turned out to be an extensive base and archive of information regarding our mysterious two hitters. Unlike many fan forums, Two Hit Wonder Forums is actually active and is visited/updated almost every day. Also, it should be noted that the rumour mill is still live and kicking despite the paucity in two hit wonderism for a good 9 years or so. Other X-hit wonders that do not have a "mania" named after them do not have fans that generate rumours about the next wonder. Two hit wonders has very faithful fans that generate rumours because they are excited and anxious to see a two hit wonder in their next appearance due to "Two hit wonder fever" (which is a symptom of "Two hit wonder mania"). And plus, isn't the whole point of rumours a sly way for artists to gain popularity and ground before a huge upcoming release of their work? Enough said.

Proof #2: Considering the internet did not become popular until well after the casettes sales ended, it can be concluded that Two hit wonders came into existence after other two hit wonders left the spotlight of the music industry. However, the "VFD" section of the website clearly shows that people still greatly care for two hit wonders even after they left the music spotlight. That is a proof of "Two hit wonder mania" because TWENTY-TWO dedicated fans posted with their deep heartfelt thoughts on two hit wonder's unfortunate ejection from the spotlight. Now, from a worldly perspective, 22 is not a big number at all. But Two Hit Wonder Forums is not a huge and official website and is just a simple and humble fansite dedicated to the topic. Therefore, it would be difficult for it to gain a lot of traffic. However, despite the lack of popularity, TWENTY-TWO people still managed to find that website and post their thoughts (some of which are very touching and serious songs and poems). Now, for those of you who doubt the existence of such a dedicated fanbase, I bid you to consider how you may have seriously offended such devoted people, you sick and inconsiderate "Two hit wonder mania" doubters.

Proof #3: Two hit wonder fansites still exist, despite their disappearance from the mainstream music scene for the clean 9 years. Not to mention that these are not only fansites but there is also a "Page of Worship". "Worship" is normally used to define someone's unconditional praise towards a god-like figure. To simply think that there are fans out there that would out and out worship the "Great Two Hit Wonder" itself, is proof enough that "Two hit wonder mania" is indeed a true phenomenon. I would go as far to say that any "Two hit wonder mania" doubters are intolerant of this religion, belief, and creed. By doubting the exist of "Two hit wonder mania", you also neglect and disacknowledge the existence of a worship medium towards the enigmatic Two Hit Wonder. You know what happens when you become an intolerance extremist? You turn into a nazi. And do you guys want to know what happened to the nazis of Germany? They lost World War II and are regarded as one of the most disrespectful groups in all of history. If you doubt the existence of Two Hit Wonder worshippers, you should very well just say "let's eradicate all visible minorities because they are 'non-sense' and a 'vandalism' to the world".

Proof #4: Dedicated Two Hit Wonder fans have held private Two Hit Wonder statue dedications to commemorate such great and joyous artists. That's right, for the past two years on January 7th, Two Hit Wonder fans have gathered for the annual "Two Hit Wonder Statue Commemoration" to celebrate such an important day in the history of mankind. During these parties, the fans get together and buy a customized statuette that features a two hit wonder's face in order to recognise their greatness.

This easily proves the existence of "Two Hit Wonder mania" because only topics with a "mania" named after them have such dedicated fans that would be obsessed enough to have a statue commemoration for the subject without him/her even knowing. Also, "obsession" is another symptom of "Two Hit wonder mania" and obviously, these fans display that. EB 07:52, 10 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, not notable. Megan1967 07:31, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. The incoherent bit at the end of the article appears to be a reference to the Republic or Ireland's national football team having a training camp in Saipan before the last football World Cup. Perhaps too much Guinness before writing the article? Particularly since they then don't bother mentioning that team captain Roy Keane was so incensed by the amateuristic state of the training camp it resulted in a very public spat with manager Mick McCarthy and Keane leaving the team. This is mentioned in Keane's article, it could possibly be mentioned in the main Republic of Ireland football team article perhaps, but the term 'Saipan Incident' does not appear to have been widely used, and is therefore not appropriate.

The article is NOT promotional, I took the time to add TWO additional hosts, how can I be promoting TWO competing hosts??? Furthermore I contend that if this article is 'promotional' and should be deleted then so should the Keenspace and Keenspot articles on which it was bloody well based!! And yes I know my comment isn't in your precious format but at this point, having taken the time to add TWO new entries, AND justify BOTH of them I'm very much sick of this entire process. You want to pretend as though Keenspace is the only webcomic host in the world, FINE, fact is there are TWO more that I know of (and if there had been SEVENTEEN that I knew about I would have bloody well added SEVENTEEN!) and I'm trying to convey that reality into the article on webcomics, it is ridiculous for anyone to want to edit that out. As I very clearly stated in my prior explanation, these are ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS, conveying a clear and accurate picture of reality, which is what Wiki in theory is supposed to be doing, requires providing information on ALL the options, not singling out ONE provider, THAT is promotional favoritism of the worst kind, in fact if deletion on the articles I added procedes I'd have to question how much Keen payed to have exclusivity on Wiki's perception of reality!

It needs some sprucing up in the comparison/contrast area, too. Right now, it is too promotional. It needs to be expanded wrt how it compares to other services, who its competitors are, etc. Either that, or it could be subsumed into another entry about webcomics, along with the Keen site entries. 2005.04.08

• Do Not Delete - The album is not being clearly sold here. The purpose of the music is to attract the attention of Dysthymia, and to extend it onto finding more information on that. The music from the album is in direct experience with a serious social problem such as depression. How can you make an assumption that because it is being told in a diffrent way, than say text books or Dr. Phil, that it is not legit? The problem with "censorship" to the articles is the lack information that is given to anyone who chooses to find it. I understand that thier are people who purposefully exploit themselves, but that is not what's being done. No money is being involved here, and there are links that clearly lead to further information on the disease. I do not believe this page should be deleted.

Craig Seal

A teenager who claims to have various titles and an "Honourary [sic] Doctorate in Divinity". "Chief Executive of the Dexillon Corporation", "Dexillon" having the curious distinction of scoring no hits whatever at Google, other than this site, which is actually just a vanity URL for this one, and which is merely a set of links elsewhere. "Further information regarding His Lordship can be obtained by visiting" some other vanity URL, whose reality is this freebie. We go there and learn (among the cod-aristocratic mumbo-jumbo) that he's a student.

I hardly need add that Google doesn't show much for "Craig Seal", either.

• Merge with Radio KoL, then delete. — RJH 17:22, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Merge all Radio KoL DJ/writer/show articles into parent article, and break out a section(s) for that, then weak vote to delete rather than having redirects. Fans will eventually create dozens of stub articles (and some good ones probably) for all the DJs if that becomes WP's policy. While I think Radio KoL is pioneering enough that it's about as noteworthy as gamecruft or Webradiocruft can get, it hasn't gotten very much attention outside the Kingdom of Loathing community. So it's barely making my bar of keep-worthiness. Soon there will be dozens of MMORPGs trying to do this, with dozens of DJs/live-bloggers/live-adventurers/et cetera on each. For these 144's of hosts, some notability guidelines must be used. This is still game-centered content, so I think guidelines should be more like Fiction semi-policy than those used for entertainers in mass-market industries (for instance, signed a recording contract with a major label, completed one tour). Online hosts of ANY sort, in-game or not, need (in my judgment) to have widely established some verifiable noteworthiness individually to have their own article, rather than a short description in a section of the Radio KoL article.

Faustus Pringle

Webcast-only radio DJ, for a station with an alexa rank of 1,023,586--station probably isn't even notable (40 displayed hits for "Radio KoL" shoutcast), let alone articles on each DJ. Only 18 displayed hits for "Faustus Pringle". Niteowlneils 17:33, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Merge to Radio KoL. I could explain in many ways, why the station is notable, I'd just say it's THE ONLY radiostation based around a MMORPG, not even Everquest has something similar. It works 24 hours a day, all djs are people who play the game and they waste up to 4 hours a day on the radio. A truly notable radiostation. I agree that all djs should be merged into one article, I dunno who got the "bright" idea to start a separate article on them. Grue 17:38, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

AXL's TFC

Advertising/Vanity, I wish they directed their efforts on improving the TF articles on Wikipedia instead. Delete --Slux 17:31, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

This is explaining two long running servers and their history (in progress). Not only is it explaining the uniqueness of the servers and how it is democratic, but the way the users have gathered together to form a group of people that interact outside of an online game through the use of the forums mentioned. If you think showing the IPs is that we are trying to "advertise" then we will take them off. What we are trying to show is a history of the group not try push ourselves on the masses. Also, you say "I wish they directed their efforts on improving the TF articles". Users that are editting this have and will continue working on those. You may want to check the history of both and compare users before making statements like that, which are false. Keep --Cassius 17:47, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

It might be necessary to remove the IP addresses and IRC channels. However, this article is not meant to be an advertising tool, or one of vanity. Axl's TFC is a developed community with a unique history, and this article is intended to articulate that history and how it has affected the game on which it is based. Keep Nufy8 18:03, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

I think this is a great arcticle which purpose does not fit advertising nor vanity. It merely shows what Axl's TFC is about, its history, its uniqueness. I wouldn't mind missing the IP addresses, but a link to the official website seems in place. I say we keep this topic, for the critisism is not accurate. Keep Shino 19:38, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Comment, this is Shino's first and, so far, only edit.
  • You do know that people can help wikipedia without actually having a username. May not be this his/her first edit, may just know that have to actually have an account to vote to keep this article. --Cassius

• Comment: [6]. Mrwojo 19:06, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, at least someone over on those forums has good enough sense to discourage sockpuppets, although I see we've already got two. android↔talk 19:30, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
    • According to Wikipedia's sockpuppet policy, a sockpuppet is defined as "an additional username used by a Wikipedian who edits under more than one name." Everyone who has voted is each a separate person, and therefore no aliases or sockpuppets have been used. — unsigned comment by Nufy8
      • We also use the term sockpuppet here on VfD to refer to those low-edit or new users that show up solely to defend one article. android↔talk 19:54, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
        • #1 So you are making policies yourself now? Shouldn't you go by the policy of the site that you are on, not things you make up? #2 - You are basing this off the posts they have made using a username, I have made changes without a username up until this point, but I decided to start using a username, which do not show other contributions I have made. --Cassius
          • I'm not making anything up, just describing standard practice around here. android↔talk 20:09, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
            • So I can break policy, as long as it's standard practice? --Cassius
              • What are you talking about? Who's "breaking policy?" android↔talk 20:15, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
                • According to Wikipedia's sockpuppet policy, a sockpuppet is defined as "an additional username used by a Wikipedian who edits under more than one name." Everyone who has voted is each a separate person, and therefore no aliases or sockpuppets have been used. - That's the policy, changing the definition to the "standard practice" versus what the policy says is breaking policy. --Cassius
                  • As I've already mentioned, we use a slightly different definition of sockpuppet on VfD than does Wikipedia at large. I fail to see how this is "breaking policy," but your point is a minor quibble, at best. The meaning of my initial point doesn't change whether I say "sockpuppets" or "low-edit or new users." android↔talk 20:28, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
                    • And you have no way of knowing how many posts a user has actually made. A username maybe, but not a user. --Cassius
• Delete. Not notable, and as evidenced by Mrwojo's link, vanity. android↔talk 19:30, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • I fail to see how this forum thread that notifies the community of the article constitutes evidence of vanity. — unsigned comment by Nufy8
    • A member of said community created the article. That's pretty much the definition of vanity. android↔talk 19:54, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
      • The whole purpose of the forum thread was to get community members to help in the process of editing the article so that it would be as professional and noteworthy as possible.
      • You may want to read the definition of Vanity again. Wikipedia Policy Quote: "Furthermore, it should be noted that an article is not a "vanity" page simply because it was written by its subject." --Cassius
        • I'm using the definition of vanity from WP:GVFD. android↔talk 20:14, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
          • Sorry, didn't see a definition there, but there was the definition of what I put here: Wikipedia:Vanity_page. --Cassius
            • Search the page for the word vanity; fourth instance. android↔talk 20:28, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Delete Not notable, vanity Dsmdgold 19:35, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak delete, gamecruft, not yet persuaded that this game community forum is more notable than dozens or hundreds of others. The Radio KoL stuff referenced in a few of today's other VfD's shows more evidence of pioneering extra-game interaction related to a game than anything I see in the article or the forum. Labelling a gamers' forum "democratic" is hardly groundbreaking. Wikipedia is not a gamers' guide nor a web directory. Barno 20:04, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, vaNNity. Radiant_* 21:11, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. By my personal definition, any article which requires the creation of multiple sock puppet accounts to vote "keep" fails to establish its own notability. RickK 21:34, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

Might or might not be about a fictional event. Google thinks so. --Tagishsimon (talk)

• Comment It might have happened, but was not well documented. I've always wondered about it. If no one can find any information about it, then feel free to delete. --Blizzard1
• Comment All I can find is motorcycle tours with the same name, e.g. as listed in here. A search for +"Black Hills Run" motorcycle. is not encouraging. --Tagishsimon (talk)
• Comment This seems to be a legitimate term amongst Biker types. See [here], [here, here, and here. Note that none these sites are about the "Black Hills Run", but rather casually mention it, as if they expect the reader to know what they mean. My guess is that it is done as an adjunctant to the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally or is an alternate name for it. (Let me say that it shocks me that that is a red link). That a mention of it is made in Roseanne, is probably the least important thing about it though. Dsmdgold 20:03, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: The Sturgis annual event draws many thousands of motorcyclists to the Black Hills of South Dakota, and might be the single most notable event in the non-racing motorcycle community. Bikers' activity are underrepresented on the Internet and rarely draw online mention more authoritative than the links that Dsmdgold provided. The "Black Hills Run" is most likely a fringe event organized by one club with word-of-mouth publicity; it could have persisted for decades without attaining as much significance as Sturgis. No vote pending documentation. Barno 20:20, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak keep BaronLarf's revised version. I hope we can find more documentation on long-past years, but getting one source on the record helps. I don't think the Roseanne mention is WP-worthy, but if others insist it is, there'll be links between articles not otherwise related. Barno 22:56, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The Sturgis, South Dakota article has only a short mention and external link for the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally. I'm going to add that to the Requested Articles page. Barno 20:23, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• I've rewritten the article with what little I can find online. Weak keep --BaronLarf 21:05, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep from me now that it has been revised or possible redirect to and new section in Black Hills --Tagishsimon (talk)
• STRONG keep, just to be difficult. It sounds like a legit locale name. I can imagine worse uses of wikispace. Asriel86 06:04, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

It's a made-up callsign in the film Die_Hard_2:_Die_Harder. Not notable enough for an entire article about it; not even notable enough for a mention in the article about the movie itself. delete. Ponder 18:49, 2005 Apr 7 (UTC)

Quedding

Apparent neologism with no immediately discoverable usage. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 20:06, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• As stated on the article's talk page: As it stands, this is simply a dictionary definition and should probably be placed on gay slang. However, there may be a need for a Same-sex wedding article, in which case it should be redirected. Exploding Boy 20:38, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)
  • It's a dictionary definition of a word that doesn't seem to exist other than on Wikipedia. If it doesn't have sufficient usage to rate even a single mention on Google (other than the 100 or so mentions of people by the name), and if I've never heard it from any of my gay friends in San Francisco or Las Vegas, it's hard to believe it's anything other than a minor local usage, if even that. --jpgordon∇∆∇∆ 20:50, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The Economic Consequences of the Peace

Text-dump of a book. Might be suitable for either wikibooks or wikisource but I was unsure. Xezbeth 20:29, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: If life of the author + 50 applies, then this is still copyrighted for another year. Gazpacho 20:43, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The actual rule is

Any copyright still in its renewal term at the time that the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act becomes effective shall have a copyright term of 95 years from the date copyright was originally secured. U.S. Copyright Law, section 304(b) [7]

• which takes it to 2014, assuming the 1919 date is correct. Speedy delete for Copyvio. —Wahoofive | Talk 21:00, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• Copyvio is not a reason for speedy deletion, especially when the copyright status is in doubt. Kappa 00:01, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• But if the 1919 date is correct, then its copyright had already expired by the time the CTEA became effective. The U.S. public domain includes all works published before 1923. This is a fairly notable book, though. Transwiki to Wikisource, then Redirect to John Maynard Keynes. Shimmin 23:56, Apr 7, 2005 (UTC)

• • Accord. Pre-1923 means public domain, so transwiki. -- 8^D ^gab 00:26, 2005 Apr 8 (UTC)
  • I stand corrected, of course the Mickey Mouse Copyright Protection Act (i.e. the Sonny Bono act) only protects post-Steamboat-Willie material, although it's still a transwiki/delete since it's a source. —Wahoofive | Talk 06:08, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• I will rewrite this as a temp article. This is a very important book by John Maynard Keynes first pointing out the problem with the peace treaty. It was the also the first book to create Keynes' reputation in the general community and also served as a guidepost when he was involved in the discussions for establishing the financial framework for the West after the second world war. This is an important book by an important author and deserves a decent article. Capitalistroadster 10:42, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Transwiki Its source material. Perhaps replace with stub if someone care to write about the importance of this work. Gmaxwell 20:53, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • As promised, I have rewritten this as an article The Economic Consequences of the Peace/temp. I would suggest that we put this temp article in its place. The book was a bestseller with 140,000 copies in 11 copies sold by 1924. It established the accepted wisdom of the Treaty of Peace as a Carthaginian peace. It was influential in the decision of the US not to join the League of Nations and was influential in undermining public support for implementing the Treaty regarding Germany. All of these points plus the ones made above are made in the article. The Economic Consequences of the Peace was one of the most influential books written in the twentieth century by anyone.

Evidence of notability is that Bill Clinton dined there once. Not enough, I think. Gazpacho 21:39, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)

• keep, a whole reality TV series was based here. Kappa 22:36, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, is notable. Has been expanded, though it needs more. The Clinton thing is only one small part. Fifteen was a charitable project recruiting disadvantaged youths as cooks and training them from scratch, it was the subject of one TV series in the UK and provided the backdrop to another.

Freeband Business Blueprint

• del. Original research in its purest form, despite a couple of references. Also, the article did not show any success of the approach, rare google hits for the term, hence notability objection as well. Mikkalai 22:59, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. The article is a description of a process from a student so it doesn't seem to be vanity publishing. The original author has provided references, so I don't see what the problem is. See here for some academic papers on it. the article could do with some context, because the methodology seems to be specific to Holland; but thats a quibble not a serious criticism. :ChrisG 20:34, 9 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • We are speaking of a particular term, "Freeband Business Blueprint". I don't see its blueprint presented prominently. Encyclopedia is not in business explaining someone else's business practices. It is student's essay, original research, base on data from the Telematica institit, i.e., on primary sources. Encyclopedia must be based on secondary sources, in order to ensure peer review.
