Another band that doesn't meet WP:MUSIC criteria--no albums. Zero hits for "Spiked Cola" west park centre', making that part unverifiable. 22 displayed hits for just "Spiked Cola", but almost all are other uses--the few that are this group are their website, the site of the person that built there website (that has since apparently removed almost all references to the group or their site), and the top hit is just a template for band info that has all fields other than the band's name blank.

- Delete For the time being I think this article should be deleted, though this is not to say that this article cannot or should not be rewritten if this band achieves notability. Jtkiefer July 8, 2005 01:16 (UTC)

- Delete, nnanity. In addition to lack of Googles, has no presence on allmusic.com and their website has no alexa traffic data at all. The article says that their first EP is due in Autumn 2005, so this also fails owing to the use of crystal ball. -Splash 8 July 2005 02:11 (UTC)

Original research. --Tabor 8 July 2005 00:24 (UTC)
- Delete or, nn. Nothing related on google, nor have I ever heard this term in a political science context. -Harmil 8 July 2005 01:40 (UTC)
- Nothing related on google? Suggest spell-checking search term.
- three minutes yielded..."A relatively recent proposal (with very old roots) is that instead of electing representatives, we might have them chosen at random. (Mueller, Tollison, and Willet, Dahl) This has been called Randomocracy." [emphasis mine]from http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/personal/wkpaps/gildf/gild2.html

- Delete: Original research, a proposal/manifesto for someone's dorm room philosophy. Geogre 8 July 2005 02:19 (UTC)
- Delete. Someone seems to have written an unpublished book about this here in relation to some electoral reform in British Columbia. Given that it is apparently unpublished (the site is in the first person for orders etc. and Amazon don't carry it), this is WP:NOR and possibly POV given the context. Possibly also a copyvio from the book, but not able to tell. Finally, it admits to being a nelogism here: "a random word, an obvious neologism". If someone can show that it is actually an established political doctrine in British Columbia I would, of course, change my vote. -Splash 8 July 2005 02:21 (UTC)
- It was used once in BC to select representatives from each electoral district. These citizens crafted and selected a proposal for electoral reform. (It failed in the referendum with only 58% voting 'yes') maclean25 08:41, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- No, it was not. The process used for the BC Citizens Assembly was Sortition. Uncle G 15:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- The book is published, and available from, e.g., http://www.munrobooks.com/by_isbn.cfm?view=DETAILS&isbn=0973782900, is there a requirement that something be carried by a particular vendor? the use of the word is referenced in http://william-king.www.drexel.edu/top/personal/wkpaps/gildf/gild2.html Geoffrey Transom

- Kept because I think it's an informative article. Maybe someone else should rewrite though to avoid breaking the original research rule. --FFAFRoxorzMyBoxorz 8 July 2005 14:58 (UTC)
- Delete, rewriting will not help with respect to "original research" - it is otherwise not notable outside of Wikipedia. StuartH 8 July 2005 19:13 (UTC)
- Delete as original research. I've seen the concept of selecting government officeholders by lottery before (it's common enough in science fiction), but never under this name, and never with the other features specified in this article. --Carnildo 8 July 2005 22:36 (UTC)
- Keep or redirect to something with a better title. The idea is not new but the title is. --maclean25 08:21, 10 July 2005 (UTC)
- The idea that Maclean25 is conflating this with is Sortition. This is, however, not sortition. It is an expansion of that notion to include, for starters, an economic ideology and a criticism of partisanship (two of the "other features" that Carnildo notes). The article is a reasonably clear attempt to use Wikipedia as a soapbox to promote a novel concept, and indeed a book. Original research. Delete. Uncle G 15:17, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- As the originator of this Wiki entry, I can tell you that although I've read the book, I have no interest whatsoever in promoting it; asserting as much without the slightest scintilla of evidence is reprehensible - a genuinely gutter act. Also, as anyone who has read their Aristotle will tell you, sortition explicity (as a theory) deals with partisanship, and Mueller, Tollison & Willet's 1972 article (Representative Democracy via Random Selection) in Public Choice embeds it in economic doctrine.Geoffrey Transom

Speedied as nonsensical, didn't make any sense whatsoever and insufficient context. Fawcett5 8 July 2005 04:15 (UTC)
This is from some fiction, but I can't figure out what, and I suspect it's non-notable either within or without that fiction. CDC (talk) 8 July 2005 00:27 (UTC)
- Delete obscure, ill-translated fancruft. nn -Harmil 8 July 2005 01:33 (UTC)

No clue. Abstain. ArmadniGeneral 8 July 2005 00:35 (UTC)
- It seems strange to bring an article to VfD that you yourself are not going to vote to delete. If you're that unsure, it's a keep. -Splash 8 July 2005 02:29 (UTC)
- People abstain all the time, you know. The point is, I couldn't verify it, but then again there's a chance it could be legitimate. Someone else might know. I'm not going to slap a delete vote on something that I don't know enough about. --ArmadniGeneral 8 July 2005 07:19 (UTC)
- Delete Minor rap group with no albums that I could find. Does not meet WP:MUSIC -Harmil 8 July 2005 01:31 (UTC)
- Delete as per Harmil, no entry on AMG. Jaxl 8 July 2005 01:36 (UTC)
- Delete: Supposedly a "crew" that did production? beats? backing? on some records. As with other things relating to that "band," it appears to be a private name for a group of people who are not known by that term anywhere else. Geogre 8 July 2005 02:22 (UTC)
- Delete'. "Brooklyn Zu" collects 6260 Google hits, however they nearly all appear to be about a series of films by that name. The band have no allmusic.com presence and from what I can filter from Google have not generated any media interest either, nor anything else that would qualify on WP:MUSIC. If anyone wants to rewrite the article to be about the films, I'll change to keep. -Splash 8 July 2005 02:29 (UTC)
- Delete It, along with the dozens of others just like it that have been added this evening are all copyvios. Somebody has been pasting one paragraph at a time from a website on this topic into Wikipedia.Tobycat 8 July 2005 07:15 (UTC)
- Hah! I thought so...I've been watching them pop up on Special:Recentchanges all night. Have you been catching them and slapping {{copyvio}} on them? --ArmadniGeneral 8 July 2005 07:22 (UTC)
- Strong keep: Wait. Wait. While not particularly well-known, Brooklyn Zu is a legitimate rap crew affiliated with the Wu-tang clan, especially Ol' Dirty Bastard, who some persons might be interested in learning more on. While the body of the article is a copyvio as it stands, I'll work on the article myself. Same with Hell Razah, Killah Priest, and anyone else that comes along. jglc | t | c 8 July 2005 14:50 (UTC)
- Might I add, those of you who've seen my VfD contributions and votes before know that I am very zealous in pursuing deletions for non-notable groups and bandcruft. I hope that you take into account the fact that I'm voting to keep (which I seldom do on obscure bands), instead of delete (as I almost always do). jglc | t | c 8 July 2005 14:52 (UTC)
- comment: I got it. The crew are members of Wu-Tang. It looked for all the world to me like another name for part of the band. I.e. a way for them to jokingly refer to their beats unit. Thus, it wouldn't be a separate band at all and therefore not one with records, etc. Do you have any recordings by them that aren't Wu-tang? Geogre 8 July 2005 15:29 (UTC)
- That's the problem, and the one reason I suppose that they don't meet WP:MUSIC... Brooklyn Zu, as with many other groups affiliated with Wu-Tang (Streetlife, for one), have yet to put out a solo recording. They have made guest appearances on ODB's LP's (and are known as his "other" rap crwe), and - I believe - have been working on a solo mixtape. I dunno: to me, they're notable, but others may feel that they are not. I honestly feel, though, that they deserve an encyclopaedic entry (i.e. brief, to-the-point, but informative). jglc | t | c 8 July 2005 15:36 (UTC)

- Delete. Non-notable band cruft. And, from the looks of it, a copyvio too. RoySmith 22:21, 9 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
QuestionComment: The article as it stood was a copyvio. However, I would take it upon myself to create a better article outlining who Brooklyn Zu are. In fact, I think, the best proposal is to create an article Wu-affiliates, with all the groups like Hell Razah, Brooklyn Zu, Killah Priest, Streetlife, &c. contained therein. On their own, these rappers may not have the clout to be encyclopaedic, but I feel that a mention of the Wu-tang Clan should not go without some sort of companion article on their many colourful side projects and affiliates. jglc | t | c 01:50, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Is there a question in there somewhere? RoySmith 02:10, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Heh. My bad. I originally meant to ask whether you guys thought it would be a good idea to create a secondary article, but realised that, due to the nature of Wikipedia, it'd be fine to go ahead and do so on my own. I retained the incorrect label. jglc | t | c 17:58, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Very weak delete. This is a bit of personal OR pseudo-science. This points to a New Scientist article that played with the idea (you can get a free 7 day login if you're really keen; I didn't bother). What's the feelings about pseudo-science which is apparently drawn from a single source but that got an article in a 'proper' magazine (though not in an archival journal)? -Splash 8 July 2005 02:35 (UTC)

- Delete: The Great Game is politics. The screenshots would not apply, as colonial powers arguing and warring over the division of Asia and Africa was before computers. (I.e. the name should be "Great game screenshots" not Great Game Screenshots.) As for the article on its own, it is inherently POV and therefore impossible. It is also inherently meaningless, as it proposes a pictographic article, not a discursive one. Encyclopedias live and die by discussion, not pictures. Geogre 8 July 2005 02:26 (UTC)

- Delete. POV title, and a wikipedia article isn't a gallery of screenshots. - Mgm|(talk) July 8, 2005 08:12 (UTC)
- Delete. Not encyclopedic to have one persons opinion of what a great screenshot is. Sjakkalle (Check!) 8 July 2005 08:34 (UTC)
- Delete. Image galleries can be encyclopedic content just fine. But I can't see how this title could make an article that isn't inherently POV - David Gerard 8 July 2005 08:53 (UTC)
- Don't Delete. Please everyone give the user more time to expand the article and correct their errors. Maybe they accidently hit save page before they were ready. Did you even think about that maybe they were going to improve on it. Or did you just jump to immediate deletion. I say we give then more time. If the article isan't any better in three days then we can delete it. Sail max 6-22-05 8 July 2005 10:33 (UTC)
- People do tend to jump on artices to delete them, that is true. However, the VfD process lasts a full 5 days from the time of nomination. Voters can, and often do, change their vote in that period if an article is significantly revised. In practise, a VfD is often not closed for about 10 days and most admins will count all good-faith votes cast in that time — this should give the author ample time to make their case and their article. -Splash 8 July 2005 14:48 (UTC)
- Even so, Sail max is missing the point. This is a POV article. Everyone's defintion of what a "great screenshot" is will vary. Wikipedia is not the place for articles like this. --Nahallac Silverwinds July 8, 2005 14:53 (UTC)
- Oh, yes, I agree completely, as I said in my vote. -Splash 8 July 2005 16:29 (UTC)
- First off I'm not missing the point from what Nahallac Silverwinds said. I understand that this is not Wikipedia material and everyone will have diffrent opinions. So my suggestion is that if people don't like the screenshots they can come and add their own. Maybe this can be a page where everyones feelings of great screenshots can be.-Sail max 6-22-05 8 July 2005 16:51 (UTC)

- Delete Why is Super Mario 64 not in there? And why is Super Mario Sunshine in there? I can see edit and revert wars here. And then the page will gwt too big to accomodate evryone's tastes. Nope, POV articles will never work. And this one cn't be un-POV'd Sonic Mew July 8, 2005 19:06 (UTC)
- Well -:Poli this actually is encyclopedia like because I sugguest other sections and give facts. Also this is a section for anybody to do what they want with their favorite screenshots.
- Why dosen't anyone just expand the article already and stop complaning about it. Sail max 6-22-05 8 July 20:04 (UTC)
- Because it's not encyclopedic content, but an article worthy of deletion. You might be able to make this a user sub-page, however, with your opinion of the best gameshots on the wikipedia. humblefool®Have you voted in the CSD poll yet? 8 July 2005 22:27 (UTC)
- Yes, let's be clear here. We're not saying, "this is poorly written, so delete it." We're saying, "this is an article which, by definition, cannot be NPOV". That's perhaps a subtle difference for some, but to me it draws a clear line between candidates for deltion vs. candidates for cleanup. -Harmil 00:48, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete unless some user's willing to userfy it. In the article space it's inherently POV. --Idont Havaname 20:31, 9 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- I agree with Sail max 6-22-05 and think that this article should not be deleted. Yes this a POV but it is everyones opinion. And it is encyclopedia like because it gives facts and dates and if you don't like the article no one is forcing you to come to it.
- Delete not encyclopedic, nothing but a screenshot gallery Jtkiefer 20:34, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
- Delete; POV, and kind of messy too. Thunderbrand 23:58, July 10, 2005 (UTC)
- I think that instead of deletion, this aritcle should be changed. Change the title so it isan't a POV. Add more facts and information to the characters and the games. And make it so that it isan't just a gallery of screenshots, but like a video game character profile page. What does everyone say about that?
--Sail max 6-22-05 14:33, 10 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. It could be redone to use galleries instead of that god-awful mishmash of thumbs, but I just don't think the article should exist, in any form. There are already screenshot galleries for each of the major game systems, like this---and they're sort of already de facto "the best games for the system". grendel|khan 16:46, July 12, 2005 (UTC)
