D2l

Advertisement/vanity page with no evidence of notability. --Kelly Martin 03:20, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

  • ...and no evidence of content, either. Looks like it's already been deleted. 23skidoo 19:34, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This vfd entry's header was mislinked to D2I, and so never properly resolved; thus I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this for being worthless corporate-speak (and for being an ad). Bubamara 04:44, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep While this isn't the most notable company, the fact that they have been around a number of years and have legitimate clients like the University of Guelph would seem to indicate to me that they are notable enough for an entry. I have rewritten the page to be more informative and less of an ad. --Fuzzball! 21:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • If you can add some third-party verifiability that would be most useful - David Gerard 09:38, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Added these sources to the page: [1] and [2] --Fuzzball! 03:56, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep rewritten page. Kappa 21:38, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete unless further estabilished/verified. Radiant_* 12:59, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • still delete. now it reads like a press release instead of an ad, but I just don't think one company with 2 clients is particularly notable. yes to third party verification. Bubamara 08:07, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete notability not established. Fawcett5 06:21, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Still no evidence of notability after rewrite. Indrian 14:28, Apr 8, 2005 (UTC)

Damb

  • Drastically improve or Delete. I'm a real inclusionist, but wouldn't this be better in the wiktionary, unless one can really write an article about it? As it is, it's pretty lame. Zantastik 06:58, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to wiktionary. Slang term. Mgm|(talk) 12:46, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, slang dictionary definition. Megan1967 03:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • transwiki to wiktionary. Bubamara 04:46, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Not a word. RickK 21:54, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • This is not worth transwikification. None of this content will be of use to Wiktionary. Wiktionary handles mis-spellings (that satisfy the inclusion criteria) like this: Wiktionary:damb. Delete. Uncle G 00:52, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)
    • Comment: If a misspelling has a different meaning/usage, wiktionary should cover it. Kappa 04:17, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't see the relevance of that comment here. Uncle G 07:05, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)
  • Delete - David Gerard 09:38, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete nothing here worth the transwiki Fawcett5 06:22, 8 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Daniel Fignole -- president of Haiti

Poor title, not NPOV and may be copyvio. Alan Liefting 19:41, 30 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, article as it stands is un-encyclopaedic, possible copyvio. Megan1967 03:25, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete for all reasons already mentioned. Paradiso 06:34, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: I have included info about Fignole in the Haiti article. Paradiso 06:34, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • It's definitely copyvio, unless 1957 Time Magazine is public domain. An article on Daniel Fignole might not be a bad idea, but this isn't it. Clean up and redirect to Daniel Fignole; otherwise delete. DS 18:17, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete to get copyvio out of the history, then recreate or redirect. RickK 21:55, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this copyvio, then create a new stub for Daniel Fignole. It isn't useful as a redirect with the dashes. Jonathunder 05:50, 2005 Apr 4 (UTC)
  • Delete, then create Daniel Fignolé. —Seselwa 06:38, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

David Hodges

  • Delete This would make a great article, but a link to a website does not an article make. We need at least a substub. Hell, I'll probably write one myself. Zantastik 06:24, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Decavirate

I googled decavirate, and all I got were personal pages about a group of friends this article is talking about. None of them seem notable enough for a wikipedia article, so I'm suggesting this article for deletion as a vanity page. Phil179 23:27, Dec 10, 2004 (UTC)

Deer Isle

Not devoid of entertainment, but obviously this isn't the right place. Jogloran 12:04, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)

  • DELETE - clearly not an encyclopedia entry. Crick22 12:55, Mar 8, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy deleted as obvious nonsense. "1902, a secret plan initiated by the government codenamed "Operation ToastWomble" led to an indecisive stoppage in the soap industry". Yawn, not clever enough for BJAODN. -- Infrogmation 11:24, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Detention

Inter marked this vfd on February 24, but never made a subpage or listed it on vfd. I'm just listing it here; do not consider this a vote. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

  • Send it to Wikitonary. Zscout370 00:14, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Wiktionary. Megan1967 03:30, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Please do not send this to Wiktionary. The "LME" at the top of the article, and its general format, indicate to me that this is a copy from a printed dictionary, although which exact one is unclear. Wiktionary is no more interested in copyright violations than Wikipedia is. Delete. Uncle G 16:01, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)
    • I'm not entirely happy about retaining the copyright violation in the article history, but since none of the text has been retained, and since it's not immediately clear which dictionary "LME" is and thus difficult to exactly pin-down the violation, I'm prepared to live with it. I'm happy with the rewrite. Keep. Uncle G 15:49, 2005 Apr 9 (UTC)
  • Delete. However, it should be noted that an animation by the name of Detention (see [[6]]) ran for 13 episodes on the WB from 1999-2000 (and also appeared on YTV for a while, which is where I remember it from). William McDuff
    • So I guess this is now an disambigious page, since I am familiar with the cartoon (which is continued to be re-run on several stations). I remember this cartoon myself, though I will not consider myself a fan of ths show. Zscout370 02:48, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Not particularly, though if a new page dealing with the TV Show Detention is made, a link to the Wiktionary would be expected, I think, though I'm still in favour of Delete and starting afresh. William McDuff
  • Keep, Cleanup. Detention is a wonderful tradition, without which we never would have had that genius work of art, The Breakfast Club... not to mention the best parts of Some Kind of Wonderful. Admit it, when you saw the word, you immediately pictured the typical room, the kind of kids who occupied it, the clock slowly ticking on the wall... it's pop culture, baby. It's encyclopedic. -- 8^D gab 08:23, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
    • And like that, it was an article... note how many pages link to this one, by the way - that's a sure sign of a needed article. -- 8^D gab 08:46, 2005 Apr 6 (UTC)
  • keep like that. Kappa 00:14, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. -- Lochaber 17:17, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This article has a nice start; it just needs a bit of expanding and not so much focus on the pop culture aspect. --Sango123 19:26, Apr 10, 2005 (UTC)
    • I think the pop culture aspect is what makes it notable... the fact that it conjures up an image, and is therefore used to conjure this image by implication. -- 8^D gab 04:18, 2005 Apr 14 (UTC)

Dion Cornett

  • delete. Looks like a vanity page to me. But if you know more about this guy, and what he or his company are notable for, go ahead and add it. -- Aleph4 21:49, 26 Feb 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: "Dion Cornett" gets 2,210 Google hits. The article seems to be a copy & paste of a couple different blurbs, including [7]. If kept it needs major POV rewrite. -- Infrogmation 11:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was keep.

I count 3 clear "delete" votes, 6 "keep" votes (1 probable troll discounted) and 3 explicit "keep as merge" votes. Based on the comments, the delete votes could be reasonable interpreted as also supporting "redirect" as a second choice. Therefore, I am going to call this one as no concensus on whether this article should be kept as is or kept as merge/redirect to download manager. Any editor may be bold and make that call.

Download Accelerator

Delete - Appears to be simply an advertisment Refdoc 10:14, 8 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep - An advertisement that summarises annoyances and problems? Juko 11:08, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: This was apparently never listed on vfd, so I'm putting it on today's page. —Korath (Talk) 00:00, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete due to NPOV issues. I think an article on download accelerators (in general) would be worthwhile, however. But as it stands this page simply seems to exist in order to knock a commercial product. I don't believe Wikipedia is supposed to be a software review site, though if I'm wrong, please ignore that part of the comment. 23skidoo 00:20, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep/clean. Notable software (speedbit.com) which I'm sure does more harm/spam than good. El_C 01:42, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 03:31, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. —Markaci 2005-04-3 T 03:51 Z
  • Keep but add more info about the history of the software, how it works, and other types of download accelerators. --Fuzzball! 17:13, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to download manager. I really don't see much point in having half a dozen or so very similar mini-articles about particular commercial products, when a generic article on the concept can say anything encyclopedic there is to say on the topic. Alai 07:41, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - David Gerard 09:41, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with download manager as most such managers are very much alike (and many of them are also known as accelerators) Radiant_* 12:55, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)

  • Comment - I've noticed that FlashGet and Download Accelerator are now marked for deletion. Note there is download manager section dedicated to this subject, listing few more programs in this category. In the name of justice all of them should be deleted. However I would not do this. It may be a hard decision, since few of them already earned "legend" status. In addition "download manager" is a description of the processes and the programs implementing them. cm224 02:30, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, Its useful to have a quick blurb on these kinds of software. Usually the 'official' webpage hides the facts about their own software, esp. if it has spyware or is cripple ware. Wikipedia can be a source of information on software that is NPOV, very useful as I do not think there are many places, if any, on the internet that has this information. --ShaunMacPherson 01:41, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)

There were a lot more disasters waiting to happen at European Mathematical Society and List of Mathematical Societies. I've fixed some of them, too. This article is in English (and as such Wikipedija will not want it). It's just ... very short indeed. This is only a hair short of being a speedy deletion candidate.

  • Delete, not notable, gamescruft. Megan1967 03:35, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment:: I don't think it is gamecruft. I'm not the person who started this article but one of my hobbies is video games. I have heard the game Shaq Fu. In fact, it has mentioned as one of the worst video games of all time by several mainstream video game press such as Gamespot [8]. Seanbaby (Google PageRank: 7 Featured in Slashdot) mentioned the game on his popular The 20 Worst Video Games of All Time (Google PageRank: 5). It has been featured as a news headline joke at Yale's student newspaper in 1995 and ESPN. I think the definition of a gamecruft is a Mario Bros. item that only plays a minor part in a game. *cough* Freezie *cough*

Drew B. White

The teenage creator of obscure web comics. Non-notable. -- Hoary 01:56, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

Delete - I was also going to nominate for vfd before Hoary beat me to it. This person is a far cry from Gary Larson or Jim Davis (cartoonist) in notoriety. I assure everyone I am voting on the relevance to an encyclopedia and not the personal work of the person in question. I personally have never seen his cartoons. In my opinion, a small cult like internet following is not a qualification for an entry into Wikipedia. My dad spent years creating breathtaking paintings and has a rather large local following. I for one do not feel he comes close to qualifying for a wikipedia entry and neither does the person in question. Until one of his cartoons sparks a national controversy, my vote is to delete. oo64eva (AJ) 02:15, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)

Jessamyn Charity West and Jessamyn West

Vanity page. -- Dcfleck 02:59, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)

  • Delete said vanity page. Changing vote to reflect info from Dpbsmith below. Keep, expand, dab. Fire Star 03:06, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep My preference is to turn into an article on the reasonably famous American author Jessamyn West, 1907–84, author of the 1945 novel The Friendly Persuasion. However, this librarian has a blog 'n' stuff and is famous enough that she outranks the, uh, real Jessamyn West in Google. So it could become a combined page or a dab for the two Jessamyn Wests. Dpbsmith (talk) 03:40, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC) See below for clarified vote
  • Keep as dab page, if anyone is willing to rewrite the original article. Megan1967 06:08, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, good work; make this a disambiguation and split the two J.W.'s into their own article. -- Infrogmation 12:39, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
This updates a previous comment.
I have split the article. Apparently the librarian-blogger's full name is Jessamyn Charity West and differs from the Quaker novelist's, so I'm decided to avoid the dab page and just have split out Jessamyn Charity West and cross-reference the articles to each other. This way, at least some users—the ones that want the novelist—will get what they want without having to follow a link.
The naming convention says "Use the most common name of a person or thing that does not conflict with the names of other people or things." Jessamyn Charity West is not the librarian-blogger's most common name, but her most common name does conflict with the author's name, and the author was there first.
I'm now inclined to think the librarian-blogger is notable enough for an article. (But working on a page will do that to you). Actually I just found out that she's one of three dozen bloggers who were issued press credentials for the 2004 DNC, which clinches it for me anyway.
Since the article nominated for VfD was about the blogger, I've put a duplicate VfD notice referring to this discussion on Jessamyn Charity West.
In continuing discussion please be sure to indicate a clear opinion on librarian/blogger/activist Jessamyn [Charity] West, 1968-, because the question is really about her. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:14, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I'm quite impressed with User:Dpbsmith's work on this page. While there are still some things to do, as noted above, it is now definitely a Keeper. -- Dcfleck 14:05, 2005 Apr 3 (UTC)
  • Keep (split into two articles under two names, as per Dpbsmith's suggestion). Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 16:28, 3 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Jessamyn Charity West. Non-notable blogger. RickK 22:17, Apr 3, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the author, Delete the blogger Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 03:31, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep both - David Gerard 09:45, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the author, delete the blogger. Radiant_* 13:06, Apr 4, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep both. Blogger borderline, but her mention in the New York Times, in Library Journal as a "mover and shaker," the DNC's issuance of press credentials to her at the 2004 convention, her Google listing above the novelist (good example of Google systemic bias but still), and her status as an opponent of the USA Patriot Act (800 Google hits on "patriot act" "Jessamyn West") put her just on the "keep" side of the border, IMHO. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:25, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment Though my vote is still to keep both, candor compels me to add a new data point. I called my local public library, and asked a librarian if she'd heard of "a librarian named Jessamyn West, not the author." She hadn't, and she referred me to the library director, who hadn't either. I explained that she was a librarian with a blog, and noted for opposing library-related provisions of the USA Patriot Act, and it still didn't ring any bells with her. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:01, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep both. Both are influential enough to warrant mention. As noted above Jessamyn Charity West is more than just a blogger&#151;or just a librarian, for that matter. It is also inaccurate to refer to only one of these two people as an author as Jessamyn Charity West has also been published in print.
    • Comment Above unsigned vote is by User:RickScully. Don't quite know what to make of his edit history. This is his third series of edits; some from Nov 2004 in the Sandbox, one small edit in Dec 2004, and then the above comment. Dpbsmith (talk) 13:36, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Comment Nothing to make of it. I apprear to have accidentally stumbled into something I shouldn't have, and if that is the case, please delete. My "history" is that I have only occasionally poked around here, and maybe should have played in the sandbox a little more (hence the multi-edits to this page) before commenting. But these recent comments seem to be more focused on me than the agenda item, so please forgive my intrusion. I came to this wikipedia page because I was looking for information on Jessamyn Charity West, and I was only somewhat familiar with Mary Jessamyn West (bad English major, I know), so I voted accordingingly (room for both, I still think). I am very familiar with the online presence of JC West and the work she does in online communities and with freedom of speech issues, and library work, etc. User:RickScully
        • No, no, no, it's fine... Thanks for your comment. I'm very sorry to have seemed unwelcoming. Everyone is welcome in VfD except "sockpuppets." Please see longer explanation on Rick Scully's Talk page. Dpbsmith (talk) 19:30, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah. Thanks. IMHO "coeditor" isn't quite the same as "author," though, and I don't think "author" is currently her primary identification."Revolting Librarians Redux" has an Amazon sales rank of 392,835 which, by my personal criteria takes it out of the class of vanity press and obscure academic publications but doesn't make it notable in itself. She also edited a book called "Digital Versus Non-Digital Reference: Ask a Librarian Online and Offline." Added both to article. Dpbsmith (talk) 12:27, 5 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the Quaker novelist. The blogger, however, does not appear to meet the recommended criteria for inclusion of biographies and should, in my mind, be deleted. Rossami (talk) 03:56, 7 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • I believe I'm inclined to keep both articles. Joyous 02:30, Apr 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • I too am inclined to keep both articles. 00:10, Apr 20, 2005 (UTC)
    • This unsigned vote is from anon 67.20.248.4. This IP address is the address which created the original article, a substub referring to the activist librarian. These two edits are the only two from 67.20.248.4. I interpret this as a vote from the original contributor, who has one edit prior to the VfD discussion. Dpbsmith (talk) 14:18, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Chris Lemónes

The same anon who created this article added a statement to the Limón article stating that "Famous actor Chris Lemónes is also from Limón." This article should be deleted as probably vanity/autobiography, apparently not notable at all, and not meeting any of the inclusion criteria in Wikipedia:Biography, unless good verifiable evidence is provided prior to end of VfD discussion that Chris Lemónes is indeed a famous actor.
