The result of the debate wasSpeedy deleted as vandalism and elaborate hoax by Lucky 6.9
Joke page. Maybe there is/was a school by this name (as the author indicates, it seems to be listed in Classmates.com), but there is no verifiable information on it that I can find. HollyAm 00:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete with strong regret there is no speedy category for this thing. Turnstep 04:14, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete or speedy delete: It looks like it might be the sort of "blatant copyvio" that can qualify for speedy, as the author put the source right up there at the top and then did a cut and paste. At any rate, it's just a party. Get out there with posters and staplers, folks, and don't use Wikipedia to advertise globally for your local shindig. (Isn't there a Univision show Sabado Gigante that is sometimes called Super Sabado Gigante? Perhaps a redirect there?) Geogre 13:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- It's located here: Sábado Gigante, and probably no need for a redirect. Turnstep 15:16, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Advertising, non-encyclopedic content; And to answer User:Geogre, there is a Univision show Sabado Gigante, but I don't think this is affiliated with Univision or the show. The organizers might have named is such so that it could gain recognition. IanManka 14:52, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete Made-up indeed. I think a better term would be American-Canuck. Ha ha ha, I kid. Croat Canuck 05:00, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Even the 69 Google hits seem mainly to be misspelled references to "Can-Do American", i.e. the iconic assertive American male who "can do" in the sense of "knows how to get things done". The only references I can find to this phrase meaning anything remotely connected to Canada are in French, and even there it's a mostly unattested word referring to the Canada-US border itself, not an ethnic label for people who've crossed it.

The result of the debate was Delete. I count opinions as roughly 10 delete, 3 merge, and 3 keep/rename. I took a quick look at Shadow the Hedgehog (video game), and it looks like a least some of this material is already there, and the rest looks like trivia that's not worth the effort to merge. --RoySmith 13:31, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Pure how-to fork. This is a fork of Shadow the Hedgehog (video game), and is entirely overspecific how-to advice and weapon/items lists. This is definitely GameFAQs materal, not Wikipedia material. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:31, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Pure GameFAQS material. --Apostrophe 00:44, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Conflict>:@. have to retype>:@
- I have taken the data about jumping, action button, players ect
- I have left only useful information, only about the game's features, like vehciles, weapons and moves. Because it's about the games features, that is why this article has been made

- some one should do an article on it:P
>x<ino 03:06, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - It looks like a good article to me. There are already articles about all the features he's described. So if we are describing moves from Shadow the Hedgehog, then surely we can describe how to use them? The guy seems to be speaking leet which is influencing votes unfairly, IMO. Zordrac 09:12, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete: Wikipedia is not GameFAQs (again), and it is not a place for how-to guides (explicitly). The merge/redirect is the only hope of preserving the content whatsoever, and I'm against that for the very reasons cited by the "keep" voters: our articles are not how-to, either, and merging a how-to section to an existing article is a way of confusing the new users, who will see that and think that it's a great idea to write articles with how to achieve cheat codes, etc. That's not encyclopedic and not Wikipedian. Geogre 10:53, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Like i said before, i have removed the moves, and surely left the section about weapons used & Vehicles >x<ino 14:27, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Keep, recorded song by notable band, alternatively merge into an article on the whole album. Kappa 03:55, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Redirect: Personally, I think this is far, far, far, far more famous as a slogan for Campbell's Soup than as any song by any band. Redirect to Campbells Soup or Campbell Soup or Campbell's Soup (wherever it is). Geogre 13:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge back into main article about album; salvage any information not already stated in the album article, place in new section; do the same for other articles that relate to album (song list has red and blue links) IanManka 14:58, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep in current form as a disambiguation page. After Dpbsmith's edit, it looks good as it is. IanManka 16:42, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Mergeto main article and redirect. More than half the bytes downloaded to display this page are Wiki furniture, the "article" itself runs to a whopping one sentence, and there is no demonstration of significance.

- Delete: Please, folks, offer a rationale for your votes and not acronymns. In this case, the musician is not famous/notable for anything except his work with the band; therefore, there should be no article on him until he, as a person, is a name mentioned as often as his band's. This would be far in the future, as the band is, at this point, not an appropriate topic, either. Geogre 13:10, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment: :-) Sure. I don't have a problem with a referential "vote," so long as the reference is clear, but I can understand the frustration some people feel with "nn nor" in a nomination or virtually bare nominations and "per nom" in the rationale. Although I vote "delete" most of the time (because most nominated articles deserve to be here), I do think of the new users who need to find out what's happening to their work.

- Benefit of doubt: Keep: The person has some history of contribution to the community via running competitions for students and explaining things on the DIY Network. I originally was going to call for deletion, but after searching I decided to give it the benefit of doubt and wikify the page and neutralize the point of view. What I wonder is that if his wife wrote the article, she supposedly has a Masters degree in technical writing and a Bachelors in English. Hu 01:44, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

C'est la vie :) Hu 23:04, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Hu, I share your apparent puzzlement. If Janet13 wants to start nominating gamecruft, I will be right in there voting delete. As far as I'm concerned the encyclopaedic content of most of these games is that they are a game played on $console, released in $year and selling $sales copies. Ditto most fiction articles. But I am well aware that this is against if not consensus then at least trend, which appears to be creeping trivialism. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:29, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I have no idea what in the h— this is all about.

Keep Growing up as a poor Jewish child in downtown Philadelphia, I hope that this entry is not deleted. This entry has made me come to realize that the Mike Lorek Fan Club is probably one of the best and most noteworthy clubs in The United States. I feel it should stay on here to help other people discover this wonderful organization that tries to help so many underprivileged Jewish children. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.166.172.57 (talk • contribs)
Keep What kind of hypocrite would come on here and say someone has too much time on there hands for creating an article when there on here criticizing it? It's ludicrous to say that someone has a limited social life when 1)You don't know them and 2)Your ONLINE bashing someone. Take a look in the mirror before you criticize someone. Does it make you feel better about yourself for bashing a legitimate organization that has its own .com and ___domain name? This organization has built a strong reputation over the years and has been nothing but benficial to its community. If you think it makes you some kind of a hero to come on here and try and clean up what you deem crap, it doesn't. If you want to "clean up" the internet, theres plenty of pointless weblogs and pornography sites you can waste your time picking on. To quote Bob Dylan, "don’t criticize what you can’t understand." This page does not break any of the rules, and atleast there not hypocritically criticizing people for using, "The Free Encyclopedia that anyone can edit".IcePro88 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.255.30.84 (talk • contribs)
Keep I suppose I should take time out of my busy social life to support a fine local establishment that is under the unfair criticism of some misinformed blokes that should do a little research before they start casting judgments. This local establishment has helped our community time and again. For instance, they hold an annual car show that is always entertaining and brings the community together. Who cares if they decide to poke fun at their mascot's bizarre talents and have a little humour to lighten things up? They're a great bunch of guys who are a local asset and if that's not "notable" enough to be part of this database, I don't know what is... maybe whoever reviews this stuff should concentrate on some of the more questionable entries and let this genuine cause alone?ChrisMyth--207.255.30.84 03:54, 30 November 2005 (UTC) Second vote from this IP address.[reply]

Keep To know that such a great organization is under fire like this really shows me what this world is coming to. We allow pornography on the internet but the Mike Lorek Fan Club should be banned from all knowledge databases? This is a sad and shameful thing to see. I personally know that the Mike Lorek Fan Club takes care of those around them and tries to bring POSITIVE influences to the area with annual car shows in Sidman, PA, participating in annual events such as the Easter Seals Softball Tournament held in Roxbury, and assisting in the Le Dance Academy's Yearly performance in Windber, PA. They support the local Forest Hills football team by making an appearance at the community Pep Rally and going to the games. They support the local diners with their weekly "Wing Nite" night held all over the area. How could anyone wish for such an organization to be removed from recognition on Wikipedia? This organization is a breath of fresh air to the community, local- and internet-wise and anyone who wants to see this database removed obviously prefers gloom and downtroddenness over positive and upbeat knowledge and activities!

- Keep Why are you people always trying to take away the freedom of speech in this country and the freedom of assembly? The MLFC is a perfectly legitimate organization determined to place emphasis on our fundamental freedoms while not subjecting anyone to forms of degradation nor using any forms of elicit discrimination. The group is a highly respectable organization in the community of Johnstown, and it is determined to florish and help create a utopian society. Without groups like the MLFC, our society will reach a cataclysmic low in morale and become socially impotent. Would you like to cause the demise of society? If so, then vote yes to delete this. If no, then God bless. [3] {{Eric Yax|207.255.30.84}}

Keep I don't understand what all the fuss is about? It sounds like this fanclub is a legimitate regional organization working towards a positive goal. I also believe that the process of deletion is being handeled innappropatly. The policy of vanity articles states:
The user who created the article is most often a new, or newer user. If there is nothing particularly offensive about the page, please be kind to the newbie. Suggestion: before beginning any deletion procedures on a vanity article, it is sometimes found that by simply politely informing the creator of the article that this appears to be a vanity article, and by pointing him or her to this page first, that the author him or her self will sometimes easily agree to the deletion him or herself, thus saving much waste of time and energy on the parts of all concerned parties.During any debates regarding vanity article that are listed at articles for deletion, disparaging comments may fly about the subject of the article/author (often presumed to be the same person) and the author's motives. These may border on personal attacks, and may discourage the article's creator from future contributions. Remember to please always assume good faith.
Usually, vanity articles are not recreated after being deleted. It is believed that the majority of vanity article creators forget about their vanity articles and do not revisit at all; this is evident in that they rarely defend the article during the deletion debate.
All I found were imflamatory comments directed at the members of this orginization and critizing their personal lives. I strongly believe that these comments cannot simply be taken "in good faith." This organization has a legitimate reason to be on the wikipedia. Don't judge them by your own standards. --128.118.51.117 16:03, 1 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Keep As the Vice-President of the Mike Lorek Fan Club (MLFC), I am sickened that people want to take the MLFC out of Wikipedia. Obviously, we are in the end times. The people of this world that want to take away the good (MLFC) and relish in darkness are trying to get their way. The MLFC has been not only a spark of light in the Johnstown, PA community, but it has been a true inferno. We are like Bat Man, we help out when you least expect it. We don't need thank you's or cash donations---we just like to see people smile. If we were able to put a smile on one Jewish kid's face, then I know that we've done our job! We don't discriminate against any gender, race or creed----we are out to help the people of this great world. We have raised money to help people find homes, jobs, food and clothing by the money that we raised w/ the softball tournament that we were in over the summer of 2005. We are not a bunch of immature people that are out to have a good time. We are a UNIT that is out to make the world smile, one face at a time. ---Harrison vote — Preceding unsigned comment added by 136.183.156.248 (talk • contribs)

- Delete: Many different ways it fails the list criteria. For one, it is inherently POV to call something a "cliche." For another, "on screen" means, to me, movies, but, for the article authors, television. Third, there is no way to be comprehensive here, and there is no "notable cliches" that can be appealed to (i.e. with other poorly conceived lists, people will say, "Well, obviously, it's not supposed to be a List of all American directors, just the notable ones," but that can't be said, here). By the criteria for lists, this one fails. Geogre 10:58, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- To me, "on screen" means both movies and television. The only difference is a technical detail in the viewing apparatus. Television shows have much in common with movies, much more than with, for example, theatre plays or books. Is there a really important distinction between movies and television or do you just harken back to the pre-TV days? — JIP | Talk 20:10, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I agree with Turnstep that it should be kept and cleaned up because of the large amount of edits (547) by different users. Many list movies which they come from, and some are so obvious they dont need verification - "Car chases will usually involve...Passing through a narrow alleyway stacked high with empty cardboard boxes...The pursuer will crash through something being carried across the street, usually a pane of glass or a fruit cart" or how about "There is always a big red button that is not supposed to be pressed." - countless movies Astrokey44 13:48, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Surely the place for those is in cliché? I'd have thought that examples of that kind were precisely what would differentiate the cliché article from a dicdef. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 13:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Theres so many that they would need their own article, maybe a few of the more obvious ones should be mentioned there with one of those 'See main article' links Astrokey44 14:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- For what value of need? As far as I can tell, WP is supposed to be an encyclopaedia, not an indiscriminate collection of information. What is the encyclopaedic purpose of keeping more than are required to illustrate the point? And come to that, isn't cliché a dicdef anyway? - Just zis Guy, you know?

Second, this is the h2g2 researcher's sole edit and is not part of the "edited guide" (the subediting process that turns, essentially, user subpages into substantive content). Third, even though I suspect the guy might be notable, this article is so blatantly WP:VAIN that WP will be better off if we delete it and wait for a neutral person to create it (which, if he genuinely is notable, will happen). Oh, and the author's sole contribs have been this article and linking it from Sherlock Holmes and Inspector Lestrade (now reverted).

I am wondering whether it may be speedily deleted, since this is a clear case of provably false information: "internet phenomenon" with no internet presence. mikka (t) 08:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep--article has been modified to address concerns. (Full disclosure -- I am the original author of the article.) I see what you mean about the term 'internet phenomenon', and I agree that I mis-interpreted the term. I shall remove that term from the article. (I was interpreting the term as something that *was created* through the internet, whereas I'll agree with you that the definition ought to be *is spread* through the internet.) My apologies. However, I can verify the trend referred to in the article does legitametly exist, so I'll rewrite the article with a different classification to address the concerns raised here. Tavistmorph 16:39, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep--article needs a few factual revisions/clarifications but is mostly accurate. I am one of the original participants, I will be working with the author to amend the information. I agree that "Internet Phenomenon" is a misnomer; the meme mostly propagates person-to-person (using the Internet as a mode of communication and documentation) and installations are all real-world instances. sidney.oolongo@gmail.com 2005-11-27 12:56 EST

- You apparently are not familiar with wikipedia policies. Main issues here are notability and verifiability. We do not keep articles about things which do not already have articles in reputable sources.

One thought that occurs to be is someone may be trying to make it an "Internet phenomena" by getting it into the Wikipedia? Mark K. Bilbo 23:08, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. It seems like an inside joke from one web forum that somebody is trying to turn into an Internet phenomenon, including the use of Wikipedia itself as a vehicle to spread the meme, which is not a proper function of this site. If it does manage to spread sufficiently, it will then be notable and the article can reasonably be recreated at that point. *Dan T.* 04:24, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- The article's main author states outright above that this is an "undocumented belief". That alone is enough to determine that this is unverifiable. The content and edit history of the article, where the tenets of this purported belief are altering in response to this very discussion, convinces me that this is a belief system that is being constructed on the fly by its author(s) directly in a Wikipedia article, that has gained zero traction outside of Wikipedia or indeed outside of its creator(s).

For the love of all that is good, why does this page exist? Should wikipedia list every comic ever made? This is an encyclopedia!!!! Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. This just encourages guys like Brown Shoes22. Highlights of very important issues MAY belong here(although I doubt it), but listing all these issues??? Delete it now, please!!!! Dyslexic agnostic 08:51, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I vote Keep for now unless someone gives a compelling enough reason to delete it. The title of the page is "List of..." so it makes sense that it would be a list of whatever it is. JHMM13 09:24, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I vote keep as well. It's the only one of the many, many Spider-Man series up here, and it's interesting to see the history of the series' run, with characters, artists, etc.
- Keep. I dislike most "list" entries, but this subject seems far more notable than some other 'crufty' list entries that have made it in. PJM 15:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Sorry, I know others like it, but even as a former (huge) Spider Man fan I really cannot see what this is doing on WP. It belongs on a fansite.

The result of the debate was Delete. I count 11 delete/merge, 4 keeps. Based on the raw count, I could have been convinced to go either way. After all, three minor acting credits and a poorly selling book is three credits and one book more than I have to my name! Still, the article itself reads so much like a gossip column, I don't think it's worth keeping. One could make the argument that we aim to be a superset of every encyclopedia that has ever been published, and thus the IMDB article should mean it's good enough for us, but I think it would be a hard sell to convince me that IMDB is an encyclopedia. --RoySmith 14:22, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I know I worked to make this page normal, but this isn't a very notable person. She has 3 very minor credits as an actress, one book that was hardly a best-seller, and is mostly known for her relationship problems with her daughter, Jennifer Aniston. I don't think she's quite notable and the Aniston Vs. Dow conflict can be briefly summarized on Aniston's page. There are a lot of other celebrity relatives who are not really well-known for any other reason than maybe a small media-reported conflict with their celebrity offspring, i.e. Aaron Carter's mother Jane Spaulding Carter, Sandra Dee's stage mother, etc.

Unencyclopedic entry based almost entirely on speculation; the article basically says that the phrase exists, may or may not be attributable to three different people and was once paraphrased by a theatre group. Delete CLW 12:33, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Further to discussion below, merge to P. T. Barnum and redirect both this and There's a sucker born every minute (surely the more common form) to P. T. Barnum. CLW 07:05, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- comment - I am putting this up near the top, because people aren't reading the whole discussion. There are zero credible sources that claim Barnum ever uttered this phrase.
- I'm compelled to say merge and redirect to P. T. Barnum, because the phrase is ubiquitously associated with him, and any evidence disputing the belief that P.T. coined the phrase would best be documented there, as the other "possible coiners" appear to be non-notable red links. — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 13:45, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to P.T. Barnum as mentioned above. PJM 14:09, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
Merge: although a quote is not encylopedic, there seems to be some content on the page, but it belongs on the P.T. Barnum page. Once merged, I don't think a redirect is needed. Turnstep 14:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]- Keep based on the talk below. The phrase certainly is notable enough (especially the fact of its wide misattribution) to have its own page. Turnstep 21:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge per above. This is not so much a catchphrase as it is a notable quote attributed to one person, so it should be there. Incidentally, I thought the quote was "There's a sucker..." not "There is a sucker..." 23skidoo 15:29, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Ok, then... move this page to "There's a sucker born every minute" (squashing the existing redirect), then merge it to P. T. Barnum, then fix the resulting double redirect at the non-contracted title, and we should all be happy? — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 15:35, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- keep: Disclaimer, I started this article.
- When I started the article I did link to one of my sources, which, unfortunately, subsequent editors seem to have removed. So, the article is not really "based on speculation" as nominator asserts.
- Can someone please explain what possible advantage a merge offers?
- There are four articles that link to this article. Three of those article already link to PT Barnum. Readers who read those articles, and decide they want to know about Barnum can follow those links. Readers who want to know about the famous phrase, can follow that link.
- The phrase is famous, whoever first coined it, famous enough it is part of our cultural short-hand. As such it merits an article of its own. The phrase nets over 50,000 google hits.
- If this material, which I consider important, is merged into the PT Barnum article, someone can come along, and make the decision to delete it, without realizing that will damage the value of other articles. If it is left in article of its own, future nominators can check to see if other articles link to it. I will suggest to CLW that this should be part of their checklist if they make future {afd} nominations. -- Geo Swan 17:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Possibly the strongest argument as to why the phrase merits an article of its own, rather than a redirection to PT Barnum, is the frequency with which the phrase is used, without explanation, or reference to Barnum. Here are a handful of examples:

The only thing that would not survive the move is the link to Firesign Theatre, which I'd excise anyway as there is no real evidence that this particular paraphrase (of the many hundreds which surely exist) is especially notable. Strangely that was part of the orignal content of the page by User:Geo Swan, editor on the Firesign article and creator of one Firesign-related one.

I think I am missing something. It seems to me that there are some shared assumptions that you regular patrollers of {afd} all share, and don't realize the rest of us aren't aware of. Is there a reason why one big article is better than several smaller related articles? If this is explained in some wiki policy document? -- Geo Swan 20:21, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Because stub-sorting is a pain in the buttocks, because quality of articles is more important than quantity, and because when a new user enters something in the search box or clicks the Random Page link and gets fed an article consisting of only a few sentences, it reflects poorly upon the encyclopedia as a whole. Or, well, that's my opinion anyway. Hey, I just discovered I'm a mergist.— FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 20:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- LOL! Welcome to the club. May I just take a moment to clarify: when I said that the fact of Geo Swan's having created another Firesign-related article was an unworthy thought, I meant exactly that. His edit history makes it abundantly clear that he is not a single-issue wonder, but an editor with a wide history of interesting added content. I know I am sometimes prone to irony - Geo Swan, please accept my apologies if the comment was misread in any way, I was actually having a go at myself, not at you. Honest. - Just zis Guy, you know?

But, it seems to me that your concern about new users being turned off, when they click on the Random Page link, merely reveals a flaw in the implementation of the Random Page code -- one that could be fixed with a sensibility filter that didn't show pages that fell below a certain threshold of edits or sentences. WRT new users please consider the comment I posted to Dalbury's vote below, where I suggest thought experiment. If you are going to base your vote based on new users I think you have to consider the frustration and inconvenience a merge poses for readers who go to the page because they want to know the background of the phrase, and, instead, are taken to a completely different page, a biography, or someone they may never heard of. -- Geo Swan 11:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- The fact that the phrase is often used without attribution is pretty irrelevant. "To be or not to be" is often used without attribution, but it still belongs to Shakespeare. That said, if there's serious dispute about the source of the phrase, Keep but move to There's a sucker... —Wahoofive (talk)
- Keep. The merge votes, I think, are a little rediculous in this case. Sure, the fact that PT Barnum didn't actually say it would stay on his page, but the other people would be deleted as irrelevent on that page. So it needs to stay here. Jacqui★ 00:43, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Speaking for myself, I vote merge because the phrase is popularly attributed to Barnum, and the history of the phrase is inextricably linked to him (an early example of a snow-job, I guess). - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 10:22, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge to the Barnum article. Sheesh, do we need an article for every quote that may have been misattributed? -- Dalbury(Talk) 02:12, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- That is a strawman argument. No one is suggesting that every misattributed quote merits an article of its own. The phrase merits an article because it is widely used, and has long ago entered our cultural shorthand. Most instances of its use don't explain its meaning, or attribute it to Barnum. The wikipedia should have an article devoted to the phrase to help out those unfamiliar with the phrase, or those for whom English is not their native language. Merging to Barnum is a disservice to those who want to use the wikipedia to find out the phrase's background. Here is a thought experiment. Go to one of the articles that links to this one. Pretend you have never heard of Barnum. Now pretend you clicked on the link, because you were interested in the phrase, and you got taken not to an article about the phrase, but to some guy from the 19th Century named Barnum. Let me suggest that, if you were a new user, your first reaction would be, "This wikipedia is not as useful as people claim. WTF would it take me to a biography of this 19th Century guy, when I told it I wanted to know more about that phrase?" -- Geo Swan 11:35, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Merge and redirect to Barnum. Do we really need articles for every famous quote? Sorry for my language now, I am just making a point: The quote "Fuck you" is a much more used quote than the Barnum quote, but it isn't an article of itself, but redirected and a part of the article "Fuck". By the way, the Barnum quote should be listed as "trivia" in the Barnum article since it is uncertain whether he said it. My Regards, Dna-Dennis talk - contribs 12:17, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- comment - I want to address those of you who identify yourselves as "mergists". I understand that some of you feel an aesthetic affinity to merging. I get aesthetic affinities too. I get aesthetic affinities for doing things certain ways, or making things look in certain ways. But, what I have to acknowledge, is that those aesthetic affinities sometimes screw me up.
- It seems like most people who want to merge this article into PT Barnum are prompted by an aesthetic sense. The merge feels right to them, because all merge suggestions feel right to them.
- Some instances of making things look right really are incredibly useful and important. An instance of that here on the wikipedia would be we the see also and external references sections. There is a project to go through all the articles and regularize their usage. Making all our external references appear as regular as possible, makes it easy to find the particular parts we want. With instances like this, once we get used to putting things in a regular format, we internalize that format, so we can recognize it at a glance, and can recognize when it is not in that format, at a glance. And our aesthetic sense kicks in, so we feel dissatisfied when it just doesn't look right.
- But that aesthetic sense can really betray us too, lead us into bad decisions. There are certain kinds of tasks where I am tempted to use my favourite tools. I want to write a script, make use of some regular expressions, to automatically select some stuff, and make transformations. I think I am good at it. I estimate it won't take very long, and I will feel an aesthetic satisfaction doing the task that I wouldn't feel if I made each change by hand. But it turns out I made some typos, or didn't fully appreciate the special cases, and I have to write several drafts. I find myself reluctant to admit when my aesthetic sense betrayed me -- when brute force manual editing would have saved time and prevented errors.
- We have to be disciplined about how we allow ourselves to exercise our aesthetic sense. We have to recognize that even the best aesthetic rule, which
- Merging can break things. It will break things in this particular instance. Three of the four articles that link to this article already link to PT Barnum, right in the same sentence or a neighbouring sentence. So, redirecting this phrase to PT Barnum breaks those articles, by putting a second, deceptive link to PT Barnum near the real link to PT Barnum.
- That sucks. Its broken. Let me suggest this merge is a misapplication of your aesthetic sense. -- Geo Swan 12:20, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Geo, here is how I see it: people will go to the Barnum article and expect to find reference to this comment, due to widespread popular (mis?)attribution. Note that the references are not actually conclusive on that score. Therefore, the Barnum article has to mention this phrase, even if only to say he never said it. It would make sense to cover it twice if (a) there was a substantial likelihood of people entering this phrase as a search term (which I don't think there is, and anyway the search would find the Barnum article), or (b) there was substantial additional encyclopaedic content, which I don't see: beyond Barnum-specific discussion (which again ionvolves redundancy as it has to establish the background of the quarrel, which is properly done in the Barnum article), there isn't much to say. It's an aphorism, people use it. This is not a dictionary of aphorisms. If there is a list of aphorisms it would probably be listed (as it is in my dictionary of aphorisms) as widely but probably erroneously attributed to Barnum. You've seen what Bartleby has to say: [8]. So, I support a merge for maintainability, avoiding duplication, and ease of use because I can't see what other encyclopaedic relevance it might have, this not being a dictionary of aphorisms and all. - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 12:29, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. The phrase has independent significance above and beyond the Barnum article and discussion about its origins deserve a separate entry. Jtmichcock 05:38, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep/Rename. I was in the process of closing out this AfD when I came to the conclusion that I so strongly disagreed with what appeared to be the majority opinion that I'd rather express my own opinion and let somebody else close it out. Given how popular the phrase is, and how it appears that Barnum did not actually say it (which I've heard before), I think it deserves to stand on its own. The Barnum article should reference this one. Rename to There's a sucker born every minute (as mentioned above, the most common form), and redirect this name (as a common mis-spelling) to that one. --RoySmith 14:46, 3 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- In July 2005, it was discussed on Talk:Politics of South Park that the article comprised solely editors' own analyses of the political stance of South Park, presented as though they were Wikipedia's own opinions, and was thus both biased and original research (an issue that had been raised a month before on Talk:South Park Republican). Sources and attribution were requested then. The article has sported neutrality and accuracy dispute tags in the months since, and during that time not a single source has been cited in the article to indicate that this is not original research, and no attempt has been made to attribute the opinions on the politics of the show to the people who actually hold them, or even indicate that anyone other than the editors themselves who are writing the article hold those opinions. (On Talk:South Park Republican, an editor refused outright to cite xyr source.) The evidence of the edit history and talk pages is thus that there is no scope for this article to be anything other than non-neutral and original research. We are here to create an encyclopaedia that condenses and summarizes existing knowledge that has already been peer reviewed and published, not to collaborate on creating from scratch a political treatise about a television show. Delete. Uncle G 17:05, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. So what is being argued here? Are you saying that this subject is inherently NPOV/OR, or that what is posted now is such? I do not see why a perfectly satisfactory article can not be created discussing the politics of South Park. This is a program many people watch, and more have heard of. It has pushed the envelope, and is notable. Now, if you don't like the current content, why not edit it? Sandpiper 19:57, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The only satisfactory edit as things stand is to delete the article. You assert that a "perfectly satisfactory article can be created". This implies that you know of sources on this subject that can be used to create such an article. So cite them. Merely claiming that this isn't original research and can be rendered neutral, without actually demonstrating that it isn't original research and providing sources to work from, won't cut the mustard any longer. Sources have been requested for five months, and not only have editors not provided them, they have even refused to provide them, one stating that xyr contributions are the "product of some research I had been doing".

The latter is not OR by any normal definition, and is not so under the explicit exclusion clause in wiki policy. Nor does the absence of a reference prove something is OR. The logical premis can only be that the presence of a reference proves that it is not.Sandpiper 20:17, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- We have no idea what the "common conclusions" are "which would be drawn by the average(informed) man had he been (in this case) watching the programs". There are no sources to tell us. You cannot prove that what is in the article are those conclusions, or even that most people won't in fact come to entirely different conclusions.
If you don't support relying upon references, then you won't be comfortable here at Wikipedia. That is what we do here. I can highly recommend adopting the stance of always insisting upon there being references and good sourcing, though. The articles that you create won't ever come to AFD in the first place (I speak from experience.), and you can even rescue the odd article from deletion here, there, and yon, too. ☺ Uncle G 16:52, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No, you miss the point. Every editor of wiki is one of those average informed men. If you are arguing that editors are unable to make choices about what is common sense to include, then there will be no encyclopedia at all. You make my point for me too, that references are not being used as a tool for improving quality, but for settling arguments about deletion and non-deletion. Wiki has been criticized as lacking an editorial POV. The real problem is not having a POV but making it clear where and how this applies. Wiki insistence on removing POV is its main tool for controlling editors. This may be necessary, (or not) but it also reduces the quality of certain kinds of article. Any kind of article which relies upon an opinion, in fact (politics, biography, economics, literature...). It is also against the spirit of wiki, that anyone can contribute. This may become wikis greatest problem if it continues. Sandpiper 18:47, 30 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete. This product may be notable—or maybe not. I did get 220,000 hits on Google for Neogia. Neogia appears to be an adjunct to another system called OFBiz, for which I found 587,000 Google hits. However, Wikipedia does not have an article for OFBiz, so it would seem rather useless to have a separate article for Neogia. Anyway, this article on Neogia is virtually incomprehensible, so let’s dump it. •DanMS 17:20, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- No vote: the anonymous nominator's point might be that the title is ambiguous, that it might be interpreted as "People who entertain Christians" which, technically, could be anyone (as an "entertainer" might have fans of any faith, and not even know it). — FREAK OF NURxTURE (TALK) 17:46, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The title is in line with other lists, so that's not really an issue. However, it's still listcruft. Delete way too big and unmaintainable, difficult to verify in many cases, and anyway, who cares? Unless their Christianity affects their entertainment content, it's just as irrelevant as their shoe size. —Wahoofive (talk) 22:25, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete or tighten the criteria. Looking through the list, I found most of the articles made no mention of the person’s faith. It seems the list was made with a very low threshold hold of what constitutes a Christian. The result could almost be called ‘ a list of none-Jewish actors’ and is about as useful as a something like a list people who drive Japanese cars. Seano1 01:09, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep and rewrite- if this is a list of entertainers who happen to be roughly Christian by religion, I'd say strong delete. But a list of people in 'Christian entertainment', or entertainers who have used their celebrity status to promote their faith would seem to have some validity. The criteria should be that they are notable for being Christians and for being enertainers.--Doc ask? 02:02, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- This is probably a good idea. Tuth be told as this list stands I think it's very weirdly put together and I'd actually consider delete, but if it could fixed on those lines keep.(No vote for now)--T. Anthony 02:31, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This article was originally much larger and based (unknowingly) on faulty if not downright fictional source material. Once the faulty material was removed, there wasn't much left. See its history and talk page. It's not clear if "Mylo Carbia" is a hoax, an out of control boaster or a victim of some sort of bizarre practical joke, but no matter how thin you slice it, it shouldn't be here. Richfife 16:05, 26 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - I wrote this article based on the subjects good faith, however after furthur investigations conducted (Especially those by Richfife, whose work has been incredible), I have reached the conclusion that Mylo fabricated an elaborate hoax and filtered her fictional bio to other meidas.

- Can I ask why you think plagiarised? I'm sorry about the 'please format' but I'm new here (don't bite the newbies...?). Azushi
- Because a google search revealed similar phrases to many of the sentences in the article, but no exact matches; thus suggesting that someone used them as sources and changed a few words around. It also looks very suspiciously like a term paper. Peyna 23:47, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Of course there were similar phrases! The topic is utterliy central to the philosophy of mind. I'm sure there a thousand articles called the same thing using very similar phrases because that's the philosophical terminology. I don't recognise your "Google approach" to identifying plagiarism; I could write you another "term paper" on how flawed a strategy that is. If it needs re-writing, then re-write it as you see fit (preferable to deletion, as stated by Wiki guidelines). I was simply plugging a gaping hole, as I saw it, namely that the problem of interaction had no entry on Wikipedia. I found this incredible - and this is certainly better than nothing.

This article describes a publisher called Microcosm Publishing in Portland, OR. All the references I find (e.g. on Amazon) are to a company of the same name based in the UK. The article says this is an independent publisher and distributor of zine, books, pamphlets, 1" buttons etc. Some Google hits to support this, but that does not make them notable. The pass the first test for vanity, in that the first words in the article were a weblink to their site (removed). I can't see a lot to suggest that the zines themselves are notable. The article concludes with an invitation ot their 10th Anniversary Party (I will contact them, obviously they will be happy send me complimentary first classs tickets from London Heathrow so I can validate this). Overall, this looks like vanity, borderline spam. Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 15:49, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - Appears to be advert for non-notable independent publisher. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 20:38, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Keep - Due to their style of distribution, it will be difficult to find Microcosm on any internet merchants. Their material is mainly distributed through radical bookstores (such as Paper Matches or the Wooden Shoe) or infoshops in North America. Most of these have little or no web presence. However, materials from Microcosm Publishing (with which I am uninvolved) are fairly ubiquitous in such places. All the same, it is something of an advert.

don't delete
being a portuguese person, i actually find it quite factual the information displayed on this article, it is all true, these chungas, dreads, mitras, are the most pathetic thing on the face of this earth, their style, the way they talk, lowest class people, its true it might be offencive towards them, but in general anyone in portugal who is not one of these can admit that they are pathetic [edit]
I Agree...
Being a current resident of Portugal, I must say that I completely agree with the above message. The chungas that crawl the streets over here are pathetic creatures, and if any of them get angry and hurt by this article my day will be just a little bit brighter. But anyway, there is a very small chance of that happening since chungas are not educated and therefore cannot speak english, and they definitely do not have acess to the internet as not even their lives are worth as much as a decent computer. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.84.22.152 (talk • contribs) and that includes both of the above paragraphs, despite the attempt to make it look like two comments.

Hello, I do not believe this article should be deleted. This article is genuine. The term "basofe" is analogous to the term "chav" that became slang in the U.K. Just like http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chav is a valid article this one should be too. At most, this article should be tagged incomplete because there is clearly more formal definitions missing — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.172.0.142 (talk • contribs)

- Keep. There seems to be quite a lot of people who plays this game in our university in France and almost nobody knows this Wikipedia entry. --82.235.37.168 16:19, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep.Even though we are all losing the game in talking about it. If it must be deleted can it go to uncyclopedia or is it too sensible for them. I feel it belongs somewhere in the wiki family.Signed in 18:15, 28 November 2005 (UTC) User's third edit[reply]
- Keep even though I'm irritated about having lost. Again. At least a dozen people I know offhand in the midwest United States know of this game independent of my knowledge of it; this is of course ancedotal, but the game is viral in nature. --Stephen Deken 18:20, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. I lost it a few minutes ago, so being here didn't make me lose it. The Game exists everywhere, including Oregon. No way this isn't notable. Ingoolemo talk 18:50, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- STRONG Keep. It seems that this is in a lot of AIM profiles, facebook, and otherwise. To the author of the deletion notice, did you ever consider that some od the details of "The Games" origins were a joke? I don;t see any valid reason for deletion --Brianopp 18:56, 28 November 2005 (UTC) (User's first edit)[reply]
- Keep. I love the game, even even though it is a source of eternal torment. Anyway ths site is supposed to be a comprehensive online encyclopedia and if you delete a widely known phenomenon as this is then the site will not be comprehensive. Oh and it is heard of outside of WP, for example; http://www.losethegame.com 152.78.254.128 19:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Is this up for deletion again? Yawn. Keep, as long as berks can stop sabotaging it with crappy rules about half-hour grace periods and competitive strategies. It's a laugh; enjoy it. Kinitawowi 22:04, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Are you confirming that it is a joke article? - Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] (W) AfD? 23:33, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- No, I'm stating that it has been through AfD before, it was deemed notable enough to keep then, and but for the actions of a few idiots it remains so. I base my judgements in AfD on deciding whether a topic is worth keeping, not necessarily the content. The Game is real. I'm not an avid player, but I'm smart enough to know that memes (which The Game is, essentially) propogate very rapidly through blogs. Of course it's going to turn up in lots of non-notable blogs; that doesn't make it non-notable of itself. Kinitawowi 23:40, 28 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep
This game is utterly brilliant, keeping us college and uni students occupied, frustrated and in despair for many an hour. Admittedly, the whole rule and grace period issue is a bit weak, bu tthe game is absolutely brilliant and deserves recognition. KEEP!!!

- Keep
I view it as being as pertinant as any other game I've played, and I've been playing it for a year and a half. Bkkbrad 03:22, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep, it's notable and widespread. And much like Color or Country, this article can be informative in an unusual way: if you knew of the game, you now know that it's not just something stupid your friends came up with. It's something stupid that startling numbers of people know about. rspeer 06:08, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep. It appears inherent that you wouldn't find any mention of it in Google, if the whole point of it is forgetting about it. Judetlk 07:45, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I personally find the entire idea of a game whose entire idea is to forget about it utterly stupid. I won't waste my time trying to "play" this "game". Nevertheless, I acknowledge it's a real meme, and am not further advocating the deletion of this article. — JIP | Talk 11:26, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. -- Dalbury(Talk) 12:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep The Game will continue and spread regardless of whether this page exists. I played it for years before I found any reference to it on the internet and as far as I'm concerned it definitely deserves some recognition. 222.153.81.183 00:06, 30 November 2005 (UTC) (First edit)[reply]

- Oh dear. Please enlighten me: who are the socks? What evidence do you have? "Sock puppet" does not mean "new user", and to equate them is hostile toward newbies. rspeer 16:40, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep I've heard of it before. The Wikipedia article is useful for explaining to people who haven't heard of it before. --JD 04:49, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Notable. Heard of it before reading this article. Hagbard Celine 12:42, 2 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

This page appears to be a hoax, there is no such thing. linas 19:18, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Nonsensical, doesn't exist. There are no english-language google results [11] for "pasen series". (Those are real words in Spanish, which get many hits, but have nothing to do with the article.) -- SCZenz 19:37, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect to Paschen series which is presumably what's meant. Dlyons493 Talk 21:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- If you read the article, and also Katz series by the same author, you'll see that it's not. It's plain silliness. That being said, a redirect (or maybe a delete, then redirect?) would work just as well. -- SCZenz 22:36, 27 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]
