Dis-Connection edit

You know, this article is clearly by someone who is familiar with Wikipedia and wikicode. Because unlike most webcomic fangush entries, this is actually a good article on the subject. It fails on a few points however, the article is written by the webcomic artist, a User:Metal-Geo. The website has been online for less than 2 months, and the Alexa ranking is almost 2 million. - Hahnchen 00:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Super-Duper Weak Delete. Site age much more than alexa rankings make me thinks this should probably be deleted. Alexa rankings seem a bit problemmatic to me due to various reasons and the article is well written. Web-comics in general seem to be inherantly non-notable, and this one doesn't really seem to rise above the crowd. Tombride 16:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC) (second edit to properly add my signature)

  • Delete, does not appear to meet WP:WEB. Has no outside references. Also appears to be vanity, considering the amount of information written about how the comic's artist saves files as backups on an external hard drive, which file format they are in, etc. -- Dragonfiend 21:52, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Nifboy 02:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. If webcomics are notable enough to be on wikipedia at all, what's the reason to delete this one? Short time of existence? Whats the limit then - 6 months, year, 2 years? It's nitpicking. Webcomics should be on Comixpedia, but until they are not moved completely there I see no reason to delete this one. SpeedyGonsales 14:56, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: No, I don't believe longevity equals notability at any point. If a garage band soldiers on for twenty years, they do not suddenly belong in an encyclopedia. The same goes for people that post things on the internet. For some guidelines on what may separate notable from non-notable webcomics, see WP:WEB. This article contains nothing which distinguishes this webcomic from a million others -- it's simply another webcomic, created with art supplies, which has characters and a story. -- Dragonfiend 15:31, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

I understand that there is a formed block, and that this formed block is a recognizable pattern. Now I'll tell you why the Serbs and the Croats are voting keep, to allay any deep suspicions. There exists a very real possibility that to delete this kind of article is counter-productive. Inasfar as it is a "vanity" article, it ought to be restricted; but to delete it is to shove a wrench into the niche of Wikipedia which is kept open to such things from the Internet culture. Impose your criteria here, and you will be made to impose them over articles on every other website you can imagine, not to mention freeware programs. It seems to me -- and maybe I'm only highlighting my limited ability to understand the Internet and the people who inhabit here -- it seems to me that Wikipedia is in a special communion with the web society, and that Wikipedia is in debt with this communion to this society. --VKokielov 05:15, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

Secrets of the Universe edit

Is this a notable website? Is it a notable webcomic? You can have a look here and the answer should be a resounding no. Their forums house 70 members, and Alexa has never heard of them. This is one of many non-notable webcomics currently residing at Wikipedia, let's put a stop to it. - Hahnchen 00:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

comment. I'm not sure how else to measure notability of anything on the web. In any case, surely the burden of proof is with those who assert its notability. In the absense of such proof, we can only assume that it is non-notable. Bucketsofg 15:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Listening to 11.975MHz edit

This webcomic has appeared on Wikipedia since December 2004, you can find the webcomic here. For a website which has been established for 3 years, you'd expect there to be more than 53 Google hits, and maybe a better Alexa rank than 2.8 million. This is not a notable webcomic. - Hahnchen 00:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep per nom. This webcomic has a large readership from the US Marine Corps, the non-North American anime community, and others who have direct links to the site. Concur with Roodog2k above that making a decision based on Alexa/Google is a poor argument. Wohali 19:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
    • "Keep per nom"? Do you realise that "per nom" means "for the same reasons as the nominator gave"? The nominator voted to delete, you cannot "keep per nom". Stifle (talk) 14:51, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Delete per nom. If the site has an Alexa ranking pushing 3 million, and Google hasn't heard of it, the evidence is lacking that it has a "large readership" within the USMC or any other community. Occam's Razor suggests that it just doesn't have a particularly large readership, and is in any event NN. RGTraynor 19:40, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Sticks and Stones (webcomic) edit

This webcomic, found here has been online for just over 6 months. The website has an Alexa rank of around 800,000. A google for "Sticks and Stones" would obviously bring back millions of hits, so I tried a search for "Sticks and Stones" "Jordan Neufeld" search (Neufeld being the author), and it came back with 9 hits. Now the search wasn't exactly scientific, but 9 hits? I don't think that's notable. - Hahnchen 00:04, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism edit

As far as I can tell, this page is promotion for a marginal esoteric Buddhist group. A lot of the information on this page is accurate, but not specific to this group; rather, it is describing Chinese tantric Buddhism in general. A google search for "Holy Tantra Jin-Gang-Dhyana Buddhism" turns up a couple official sites followed immediately by the Wikipedia article. This modern group might be an interesting subject for an article, but, unfortunately, the article as it exists gives us no context about them. Nat Krause(Talk!) 00:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment. No vote from me, but just a couple things to consider. A google search for "中國漢傳密宗". Which is shown as the chinese name for the subject of the article yield considerably more results. However, I could be searching "cute kittens" for all I know. Also, does notability in the chinese speaking world make it notable in the english speaking world? Just some thoughts. Tombride 16:24, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Good point. "中國漢傳密宗" translates literally as "Chinese Han tradition (or transmission) esoteric (or secret) sect". It would be a bit labour-intensive for me to take a close look at the google results, but it's worth noting that the top hit is a userpage on the Chinese Wikipedia, followed by two official pages of this group. - Nat Krause(Talk!) 17:31, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
    • In that case delete. Notability doesn't seem to exist here. Tombride 05:21, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment just because information came from a real source doesn't mean it's a copyvio, especially if the information is stuff like who he is and what he has done in public life. In fact, that there is a source is a very positive thing for this article. A copyvio in this instance would be if all the wording and formatting were exactly the same, since the information is so basic and simple. Mak (talk) 05:05, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
This comment was based on perhaps a more recent version of the article than the one you were referring to, which may have verged on copyvio. Mak (talk) 05:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Have you tried google search in GREEK!!??? Luka Jačov 18:17, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Answer Google for "Αλεξ Καβαδίας" and "Αλεξανδρος Καβαδίας" both turn up nothing. Search for "Αλεξανδρος Καββαδίας" (with two β's as it's shown in the article) shows two results, both an obituary of a Spyros Kavvadias, son of Alexander Kavvadias, a farmer who who died in 1943.

  • Delete Apparently non-notable in any language. Fan1967 22:19, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Note The author of this article seems to have created a number of similar articles for allegedly well-known Greek models. Fan1967 22:32, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
That's cause they are well-known Greek models in the Greek fashion world and entertainment industry, many of them also used in music videos. Some have branched out into the international fashion world. You also can not say if a person is well-known or famous with a search you might do from a non Greek search engine. Perfect example, if you do a search on one of Greece's most famous actors as Θανάσσης Βέγγος, you only get three or four hits[1]. When dealing with Greek names, you also have to take into consideration of the fact that the name can be spelled in numerous different ways and that pronunciation plays a big part of getting the correct hits when doing a search. ~Mallaccaos, 10 April 2006
Comment I notice, by a remarkable coincidence, that it seems these well-known Greek models are all clients of the same modeling agency. You wouldn't, by chance, happen to be associated with Ace Models, would you? Fan1967 13:00, 11 April 2006 (UTC)
It is a coincidence since I've also listed models from various other agencies as well. But to answer your question, no, not at all, I have no association what so ever with any of the model agencies these people are associated it with. The reason why Ace Models is representing most of them is because Ace Models is one of Greece biggest model agencies and a partner for many fashion magazines found in Greece, as well as advertising agencies, film productions houses, leading fashion catalogues and fashion designers use their services. Plus many of their models are former Miss Greeces and have been branching out internationally. Here I ago again sounding like I'm adversting for them but I'm not, just trying to explain why Ace Models is representing most of them. The next agency I'm planning on posting model info from is another big one from Greece IMAGE MANAGEMENT which represents Katerina Georgiadou. Besides I live in the States, they are from Greece....a)reason why my searches since they are done by non Greek search engines, such as yours, do not produce many results on their names. I do read/understand Greek though (aka magazines and other info pertaining towards the Greek pop culture) and own Greek satellite channels,in which these models as well as other Greek celebrities are featured on quite often. ;) ~Mallaccaos, 11 April 2006
OK, if you don't like non-Greek search engines, show us a search on a Greek search engine that shows him as notable. Seriously, there are thousands of models who've done multiple magazines and ad campaigns. Does that make them notable? For the most part, no. There are a handful of models (mainly female) who become celebrities. The vast majority are unknown to everyone except the agencies that hire them. Fan1967 00:56, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
I don't believe I said anywhere in my posts that I don't like non-Greek search engines. What i did say is, it is difficult to get hits from non Greek engines, since Greek names can be spelled in various ways including pronunciations which play a big part in the Greek language. As the example I gave above with Θανάσσης Βέγγος, one of Greece's most famous actors, where you only get three or four hits when searching for him with his name spelled that way, even with Greek search engines[2]. ~Mallaccaos, 12 April 2006
You ducked the issue. Can you show us a search, in any language, on any search engine, that shows this guy to be notable? I've never heard of this Thanassis Veggos, but when I try the same search for Μελίνα Μερκούρη (Melina Mercouri) I get over 50,000 hits. Fan1967 00:30, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
I didn't duck the issue, the point is just because you didn't hear of them, or are not familiar with certain individuals, or don't get many hits on search engines, does not mean they are not popular or not well know in their native countries. I brought up Θανάσσης Βέγγος because being of the biggest Greek stars in Greek movie history, he is a perfect example of what is being debated here; you only get a few hits when typing in his name even though he was one of the biggest comedy actors in Greek movie history. BTW, Θανάσσης Βέγγος was a more well known star then even Μελίνα Μερκούρη was in Greece, even though Μελίνα Μερκούρη was more in the spotlight for international issues. So saying that you get such amount of hits from a search engines, does not amount much of anything. ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006

  • Comment That's the problem. Is he notable to Greek people? We've seen no evidence he is. Fan1967 00:50, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Well for one thing the guy is on the covers of Greek music CDs for the 2004 Olympics and a familiar face in the Greek fashion world, his more recognized then you would think. ~ So are we to understand that popularity of non English celeberties is based on how many hits a person's name gets on search engines and not how popular a person is in his/her native land? In that case I can prove that theory flawed with the Θανάσσης Βέγγος example I gave above. It is stated above that since Βέγγος name does not produce many hits, he must not be well known, unlike say Μελίνα Μερκούρη who gets over 50,000 hits. Well as Greek-American I can tell you with 100% certainty that if you ask any Greek person who Θανάσσης Βέγγος is they will know. Oh and BTW notice that the search done on his name here[4], does not produce any hits about the fact that a municipal theatre of Piraeus was named after him. Non-notable people do not get buildings named after them. So once more, saying that you get such amount of hits from a search engines does not amount to much of anything in regards to how popular an individual is in his/her homeland. ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
Comment I am still waiting to see any sign that he is "popular in his native land." His picture is on a CD and in some magazines. Great. That means he's a working model. Can you offer any verification at all that any number of people in Greece have ever heard of him? Fan1967 15:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Can you offer any verification at all that any number of people in Greece have not ever heard of him? As I said before just because you don't get 50,000 hits from search engines does not amount to how well known an individual is in his/her homeland. Case in point Βέγγος, one of the biggest Greek stars with only 3 search hits. You also forgot to add fashion shows, runways and presentation events to your list above. As for his popularity, you can find that out if you check out Greek magazines, the Greek fashion world and Greek tv pop culture. ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
Please review the Wikipedia standard for Verifiability. "You can't prove he's not famous" does not count, and there's no rule that says the standards should be ignored for people who live in another country. Fan1967 16:15, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Well that's a double standard if I ever heard one. So am I to understand that a person's popularity is based on how many hits he/she have on search engines? Because if that's the case then as proven above that is a flawed way of determining a person's popularity. ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
There's no double standard at all. Why should you not be held to standards of verifiability?Fan1967 16:23, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Which I ask you again; is the standards of verifiability "popularity" due on the amount of hits an individual gets on his/her names? Cause I can include numerious famous Greeks who get only a few search hits but are well known to the Greek culture in general if that's the case...and to make it more interesting, I'll include all the spellings of their names or as many spellings as I'm familiar with.  ;) ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
I've read the Verifiability and I don't see anything in the rules which says that the popularity of an individual is based only on the number of hits he/she get on search engines....unless I'm missing something...? ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
By the way, Veggos gets 9,000 hits on Greek Google if you spell his name correctly: Θανάσης Βέγγος. Fan1967 16:23, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
BTW his name is also spelled Thanassis Vengos, Thanassis Veggos, Thanasis Vengos, Θανάση Βέγγος and Θανάση Βέγγο. Which points to what I said above and I quote: "When dealing with Greek names, you also have to take into consideration of the fact that the name can be spelled in numerous different ways and that pronunciation plays a big part on getting the correct hits when doing a search." By pronunciation I'm also talking about the τόνος. I've seen Kavadias in the Greek media that was talking about the male and female models used for the 2004 Olympics, mostly because it was made into such a big deal, the Olympics I'm talking about, spelled with two "v's", one "v", his first name as Alexander, Alekos, Aleko and Alex; Alekos written with a "w" and in other cases with a "o". ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
Fine. Find some verification of his notability uner any name. Fan1967 17:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
My question still stands: is his "verification" on how popular he is solely based on the number of hits an individual gets on search engines, even if he/she are more talked about and noticed in media outlets, then search engines? ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
Read the policies: WP:V, WP:RS. Do you have some verification that he is being talked about in other media outlets? For lack of anything better, search engines are a good indication of whether somebody's being talked about, and it's the usual standard for inclusion.Fan1967 19:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
Yes I do, as mentioned previously, he has been featured in numerious Greek media outlets. As for the policies of wikipedia, I did read them and I didn't see anywhere where it says that a person's "verification" is based solely on how many search hits he/she gets on search engines. I did come across this though:
"Finding a good source may require some effort: Until more authors publish online, and more material is uploaded, some of the most reliable and informative sources are still available only in printed form. If you can't find a good source on the web, try a local library or bookstore. This can at times be a surprisingly fruitful endeavour."[5] ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006
Wikipedia gets a lot of unknowns hoping to promote themselves here. Fan1967 19:40, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
That's understanable but I'm not associated with nor do I know Kavadias....wish I did, I'd be able to hang out with hot models... LoL! ... as it stands I don't know him nor am I trying to promote him or anyone else for that matter. ~Mallaccaos, 13 April 2006

Kinky underwear problem edit

Someone's attempt to promote their original research: non-notable -- essentially invisible -- economic question: gets all of 34 Google hits, none from .edu sites. Calton | Talk 00:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment It does seem to be based on one of the cited references, http://www.zmag.org/books/pareconv/Chapter18.htm , which seems to be a real book--I don't think Verso is a self-publisher or vanity press, and the Amazon sales ranks ("381,895, 195,040 in Books yesterday") are just barely high enough to lift it out of that class. That reference really does mention "the kinky underwear problem," but the context—"In a class my frequent co-author taught at American University, this issue came to be known as 'the kinky underwear problem.'"—makes it a nonce word or neologism, not a real term in widespread use. The reference does talk about "mak[ing] consumption proposals anonymously."
  • Delete, neologism, not an accepted term in significant real use.

While it seems that the article, in its current form, generates next to no hits on Google, it is possible that an economist might know this problem by a name other than either of the two mentioned. Perhaps the article should be mentioned somewhere where an economist could take a look at it and give it the proper name. It seems like a notable theory, but I guess it just hasn't been expounded fully yet, at least not under this name. — Scm83x hook 'em 01:27, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

La Nina Droughts of 2005-06 edit

No widespread news coverage of any such drought (we already have an article on the Horn of Africa crisis), partially original research.

We are currently experiencing a drought relating to La Nina - much of New Zealand is expected to have to start conserving power due to the low levels of this country's hydro-electric storage lakes (the lowest for about 15 years). Similar conditions hav also affected parts of Australia (mind you, some of Northern Territory's currently underwater).

  • Keep or Move to Students' Society of McGill University/Past Executives. This page was created to alleviate clutter on the SSMU page, if that's a problem, perhaps it can be moved to a subpage of the main page? pm_shef 05:23, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment. No vote for now. Here's my issues: first, what is the value of past executives of a student body, not a major university? Second, I don't like subpages unless it is in userspace. That is second because it's personal and not really of weight. T K E 05:41, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
    • IMHO, it would be notable and merit inclusion in the main article if one of the current or former execs had done something outside of the SSMU, such as one of them going on to become Prime Minister, or one of them having participated in the Olympics, for example. Something that merits them having a Wikipedia article on their own. As a list though, it's not important or encyclopedic. They can post that on their own website. Ardenn 06:14, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Strong Keep. Creator Matt Howarth is a quite notable comics writer/artist and musician, if something of a cult figure, with almost 100,000 Google hits. Subject of article may not among his major work, but even minor works by notable creator are generally treated as notable. Comic was published mostly pre-Internet, and apparently would meet 5K audience standard; TPBs still in print and sold by publisher. [10]. Nominations like this are bad practice, and the resulting deletions damage the Wikipedia project. We have gotten to a cultural state where "Gee, I never heard of this" seems to be a good enough excuse to nominate something for deletion, RATHER THAN raising legitimate issues on the talk page first to see if anyone can help improve the article. In this case, the nominator should have said "Gee, I never heard of Keif Llama or Matt Howarth, and I looked in Google and found only n listings for the character, so I wonder if there's a problem here. Then, pop a note on the talk page. "Hey everybody, I don't know much about comics, but I never heard of this guy and had trouble verifying the information. It's probably my own lack of searching skills, so I wonder if anyone can help me out here. Is this article as good as it could be?" Monicasdude 15:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete -- and suggest commenter above look into anger-management sessions. Bad for the blood pressure, you know. --Calton | Talk 15:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Voting strong delete for both this article and Monicasdude editing ability. The claim that "even minor works by notable creator are generally treated as notable" is absolute and utter nonsense. Minor works most certainly are not notable, hence the term "minor". DreamGuy 21:48, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
    Comment. "Minor," in the context of a notable artist's work, doesn't mean non-notable. Dickens' minor novels, Shakespeare's minor plays, hundreds if not thousands of albums minor albums from popular music artists all have entries. Not to mention 395 species of Pokemon characters, which hardly anybody thinks are "major". You might consider reviewing the applicable notability guidelines, not to mention WP:CIVIL and perhaps even WP:DICK. Monicasdude 03:23, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

Weak Delete I'm 85% sure this page isnt notable. If we do keep it, I reccomend it be merged into an article about Hewlett-Packard or some such. Also, if we do keep it, it needs work to pass WP:NPOV —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Dalamori (talk • contribs) .

Aimo Fontenot edit

Actor with no presence on imdb. I proded it, but User:Laceymichelle claims he is well-known in the Seychelles. Eivindt@c 05:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment absolutely no ghits [11] in any language anywhere. Ah, but yahoo has served me well with one hit, [12], but this seems to be a magnet for adhits for yahoo (I knew there was a reason I don't use it) and it takes forever and a half to load on a superfast connection, and so far has no information. Wait!! It's a wikipedia mirror. And a very bad one. I hope you all enjoyed this vicarious experience of my internet experience. How meta is that?

  • Keep because it's not a hoax. Have you ever been to Seychelles? Do you know about the Seychellois film industry? His work itself isn't big, nor is he big internationally, but in Seychelles, he is very well-known. Just because it seems like a hoax to you is not fair reason to delete it. (Laceymichelle 00:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC))
  • Plus, Imdb is considering giving him his own actor page right now. (Coolerthanallie 00:33, 9 April 2006 (UTC))
    • Whether he is a hoax or not, he is still unverfied (no one has found any actual publication which mentions him). If you can find a publication from Seychelles which mentions him even if in a language other than English, that would help a lot. Mak (talk) 01:46, 10 April 2006 (UTC)
Comment Imdb.com doesn't "consider giving actors their own page", they work just like Wikipedia, by user submitions. Maybe you should submit Aimo Fontenot yourself there, as they, unlike wikipedia, doesn't have any notability criteria. --Eivindt@c 01:35, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete for no positive verifiability or sourcing of subject's identity or notability. MCB 06:42, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep or merge. The reasons given in the nomination do not apply. This is not a content fork but an article spinout. The information given here is not "loosely associated" but specifically targeted and on topic. It is in the nature of the topic that quotations are an appropriate form for bringing the information across. The article is clearly and definitely not a "list" or "repository" of quotations". I am somewhat amazed by the inability of the nominator to appreciate this. I see no other reasons for deletion either: The article is written from a strictly neutral point of view and is better sourced than most articles. LambiamTalk 10:58, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment, the article is basically a list of quotations. Anyone who sees the article can see that.--Jersey Devil 21:24, 12 April 2006 (UTC)
So would you then also argue for deletion of such articles as, for example, Judaism's view of Jesus, which also mainly consist of direct and indirect quotations? If the complaint is that this article is badly written, I concur. Only, that is not a ground for deletion. LambiamTalk 09:37, 13 April 2006 (UTC)
