This article was nominated for deletion in April 2005 (1st AfD here). The reasons provided then for keeping this blatant vanispamscruftisement are far from sound. Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information. Húsönd 00:26, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Terry Dixon

Youth player who hasn't played a professional game and thus fails WP:BIO. For the same reason I'm nominating Tomáš Pekhart. There's a number of other Spurs players on Tottenham Hotspur F.C. Reserves & Academy that haven't played a professional game, but they appear to be professionals and thus qualify under "squad players of a professional team" rule. HornetMike 00:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Is he, though? If Terry Dixon was to tear a ligament or something and his career ended it wouldn't get on the BBC Football website. Sol Davis' stroke did, and so does injury/transfer news of other players lower down the football pyramid. HornetMike 14:22, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If such an unfortunate incident were to happen, then Dixon would gain notability of being a player lost to the game. I'm sure that you wouldn't argue that Kiyan Prince should be deleted because he had played no professional games. Dixon has already garnered national media attention for being a footballer, which in my opinion is enough. aLii 15:02, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
If a teenager with no first team experience suffers a career ending injury, they don't gain "notability as a player lost to the game", they just become some bloke who nobody's ever heard of who nearly became a professional footballer once upon a time. Kiyan Prince is a completely different case. His notability has nothing to do with football, he is notable for being a murder victim whose case received lots of media coverage, the fact that he happened to be a QPR youth team footballer is incidental.

American Global University School of Medicine

Unnotable, unaccredited school. Claims to be based in Latin America with headquarters in Ohio. I get 119 yahoo hits. Arbusto 20:49, 22 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think you should be voting keep based on the hope that a more balanced view will be presented. As you said it is "advertising quite heavily and untruthfully", but that's not really a reason to keep. Arbusto 01:34, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: What I was saying was that it presented a more accurate view than the article originally posted by someone associated with the school - take a look through the page history. In any case, I still feel we should keep the article per Aaron's suggestion of duty to warn. Without independent fact finding, students may be duped into spending hundreds of thousands of dollars and years of their life attending a fraudulent school. Leuko 03:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I know that it presents an accurate view because I was the one who made those original changes about its accreditation status.[4] I don't see how its notable; its an article about what it isn't (accredited). Even if this article is deleted, like other diploma mills, it will remain on our List of unaccredited institutions of higher learning to let people know it isn't accredited. Arbusto 06:06, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: If it is notable enough to be on the list of unaccredited institutions, then isn't it notable enough to have a blue link instead of a red link? Leuko 19:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.
 Please add new discussions below this notice. Thanks, Arbusto 01:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC) (UTC)[reply]
Comment: And you feel that makes his/her opinion less worthy? If you are worried that it is me agreeing with myself, I invite you to do a checkuser. Perhaps we should entertain the notion that the nominator is associated with the school and wishes to remove what they consider negative press. Leuko 19:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Within the first sentence, the word "unaccredited" is used - I fail to see how someone could be confused. Leuko 19:28, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Well, it does claim to be accredited by the World Association of Universities and Colleges [5], but this is not a recognized accrediting body, since it seems the only barrier to accreditation is a $1,000 check. As for notability, it is described as a "top Caribbean medical school" by educationandjobsonline.com [6]. (I am not arguing that this is a WP:RS, just that it has been the topic of independent press). If this is the same American Global University formerly of Wyoming, then use of its degrees are banned in at least 3 states (Oregon [7], Texas [8], and Maine [9]).

Elfdust

Seemingly self-promotional, article does not assert any importance of this game. Guy claims on the talk page that this game was mentioned in Massive Online Gaming but that is just one mention, and not even cited in the article... I am not convinced this meets WP:WEB, WP:SOFTWARE and so on. --W.marsh 01:39, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Huh? The guy who created this, and the only person to contribute content to it, never contributed anything to Wikipedia but this article. Once he got rid of the PROD he never came back to WP. So if his goal was to improve his contribs list... he didn't do a very good job of it. Seems more likely he got his plug in then wanted nothing more to do with our project. --W.marsh 02:38, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Tour EP

EP with 200 copies sold. Delete. BanyanTree 02:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - hopelessly non-notable. Light on context, too. MER-C 03:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • I take an unpopular view on these things - a CD sold only on tour dates has equivalent status to a t-shirt or tour programme rather than the status of an ordinary CD release. Therefore, it shouldn't have an article of its own so it's a delete from me. Ac@osr 09:56, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • this album is part of his discography. plus all his other ep/albums have their own section... i don't think it should be removed Nyago
  • title has been changed to US Tour EP 2005 (Jens Lekman)
  • Delete: Like a t-shirt, yes, but the arguments for keep have been begging the question. A document of a tour is assessed the same way any other disk is: sales, distribution, airplay, significance in the oeuvre. This fails those guidelines. Geogre 13:54, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Well, although there is dispute, the position at present is that if an artist is notable, their albums are notable but, even if this was a full length disc, it is still effectively tour merchandise because of the way in which it has been sold regardless of the numbers involved. A live album released commercially as a document of a tour is a different barrel of onions. Ac@osr 13:59, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • i still don't see why limited edition stuff shouldn't be included. what if it was from a small cd-r label? this isn't really a live release by the way. nyago
    • I'm aware that it isn't a live release but it appears only to have been sold at live shows. If a small CDR label was to issue something by a notable artist (an increasingly common event), and it was sold commercially throught the usual channels, I would be inclined in principle to support it, although the low numbers associated with CDR labels would put me off. But this is really just a tour souvenier rather than a proper release. Obviously it could be added to a discography or some such but I can't support an entry of its own. Ac@osr 17:21, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
    • i wouldn't really consider this to be "just some souvenier", though. i think it's more than that. would it make any difference if it had a more interesting title? i think that if an artist is notable enough, it should be included. it shouldn't matter what their albums are called or how many copies it may or may not have, as long it's somewhat useful for someone. Nyago 14:39, 01 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • If there's nothing significance about this record, it could just be mentioned as a list item in some other article. There's nothing here to warrant a standalone page. Delete. Ned Wilbury 15:13, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per above. --Kf4bdy talk contribs 02:35, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Strong keep. It's rather interesting that people compare this to a t-shirt. It's not the same at all, really, for any number of reasons, and to delete this would, again, mess up the entire Lekman discography. We have a workable standard on albums and EPs, let's keep it that way. --badlydrawnjeff talk 11:55, 30 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no evidence of meeting WP:MUSIC. BTW its been moved to US Tour EP 2005 (Jens Lekman). BlueValour 23:41, 1 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I used plenty of evidence that it is nn, I just added cruft because it's the truth, and if you don't like it, that's too bad. Tony fanta 16:45, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Do not use cruft as a rationale in the future. Mine was a friendly warning. Irking others intentionaly is often framed as trolling and people have been blocked for it. --Cat out 16:50, 28 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
