Quintation

• An operation with no real-world uses. Is now 2 months old, but has not been updated since it was just one day old. Is this article useful in any real way?? Georgia guy 00:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, with possible Merge of a sentence or two. Something about "the idea of quintation" might fit into the hyper operators article, but quintation itself (having only a few non-trivial cases) doesn't need an article. Philthecow 00:25, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep -- a lot of mathematics (especially a lot of the work done by the Bourbaki group) stands on its own with no real relation to the real world. Haikupoet 00:47, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but with reservations. Article needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 07:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• As with Binilnilium, this kind of operation could basically be extended forever. It should correctly be named Pentation though (quint = Latin, penta = Greek, and since tetration = Greek...) Google indicates that the term Quintation is in fact more commonly used in music. Since the content is already present at Hyper operator (which lists the entire class thereof), this text should be deleted and changed to a redirect to whatever the musical term is relevant to. Radiant_* 10:09, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This operation is not used in the mathematical literature (or anywhere else as far as I know) and the article gives no information beyond the obvious. Jitse Niesen 12:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, interesting article. Grue 20:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete under the heading of totally irrelevant mathematics. Denni☯ 01:23, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
• keep. Draw the line at heptation maybe. Kappa 02:17, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Why the arbitrary distinction? I could write an equally interesting article on ikosatation. Radiant_* 09:18, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
    • Because we need an arbitrary distinction. 2 of these isn't really enough, but 20 would be overkill. Kappa 19:57, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, the proper term is pentation not quintation. Given Wikipedia's policy regarding not adding non-peer reviewed material and that no peer reviewed material exists, this page shouldn't exist. If Wikipedia wants to change this policy then I'd be happy to add non-peer reviewed material. I'm giving a talk next month where I will discuss how to define pentation for complex numbers, so if folks want to read non-peer reviewed material, I can help you out, but I don't think it would be a good idea. Daniel Geisler 08:43, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep (or move to pentation, or whatever). Find citations, I'm sure they are out there. "Pure mathematics. May it never be of use to anyone." -- Jmabel | Talk 00:57, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • I am equally sure there are no references. Not only because I didn't find any in the databases of maths publications that I looked at, but also because Daniel Geisler says so above and he has done research on tetration. However, I am happy to change my vote to "keep" if you can find a reference. -- Jitse Niesen 12:22, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Jonathunder 03:35, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect to Hyper operator. And make pentation a redirect, too. Mindspillage (spill yours?) 16:07, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, but perhaps expand Hyper operator. Redirect pentation/quintation and other such higher operators there. -- DocSigma 20:20, 24 Mar 2005 (UTC)

List of oxymora

Nonsense. POV. Not encyclopedic. Take your pick. And when did oxymora become the plural of oxymorons? dictionary.com lists the plural as oxymorons. RickK 00:04, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

• Keep First of all, no offense, but dictionary.com is useless. Merriam-Webster and American Heritage (the two true dictionaries) both list the plural form as oxymora. Besides that, this list is no less "encyclopedic" than many other lists we call articles. Saaga 23:05, Mar 27, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as not encyclopedic. POV, too, but that's to be expected since Neutral point of view is apparently an oxymoron. Philthecow 00:09, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep Language changes, and many of the terms here would be accepted as oxymorons by most people. If I were looking for oxymorons, this is exactly the article I would be looking for. This article is no less encyclopedic, or less POV, than other lists which have passed unscathed through VfD. Agree this could be cleaned up, but deletion is silly. Denni☯ 01:18, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Strong keep. I see no logical reason for this very interesting, useful list to be deleted. Rename as List of oxymorons as appropriate. --Gene_poole 01:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, but purge the POV ones like "Alberta environment minister" - SimonP 01:59, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, I think I've seen this before in the form of an internet joke. Microsoft Works? Funny, but not encyclopedic. Eixo 02:29, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, rename/cleanup as necessary. Kappa 02:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Neutrality^talk 03:08, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• And you could add motor sports too, but the booze and ciggies industries would be up in arms at such a slur on a manly activity. So yes, it's PoV and unencyclopedic. Delete. -- Hoary 05:19, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Keep, Rename and Clean up. A list of oxymorons could be very encylopedic. This list has a lot of problems though. Needs to be purged of POV and false examples.
• Keep, cleanup and expand. Megan1967 06:17, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a rather funny and potentially useful article. — JIP | Talk 06:37, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Rename and POV-purge Lectonar 07:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Move to List of oxymorons. Purge POV phrases if they are not of note. "Military intelligence" may be a POV condemnation of the abilities of the military, but it's one of the most famous "humorous oxymorons" there is. Demi ^T/_C 07:51, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Okay, the mora who created that plural should be whacked with pieces of ira. Anyway, this needs to be treated with extreme care as it's a prime target for adding jokes to. Merge the subset of interesting oxymorons onto Oxymoron#examples. Radiant_* 10:17, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • What is the etymology of the word "oxymoron"? If it's Greek, then "oxymora" is the correct plural. I doubt it comes from the word "moron". As to your jocular plurals, note that "conundra" is a correct plural for "conundrum" but "kettledra" is not a correct plural for "kettledrum". — JIP | Talk 15:36, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Yes, it's Greek. I love derivations like these, hence my jokes with them (also 'boxen', 'pentia' etc). For reasons that elude me, Latin words such as conundrum tend to keep their Latin plurals even in English, but Greek words get English -s plurals. There are probably exceptions to both, though, and double plurals like 'museas'. I guess this is similar to English dropping suffixes from nearly all classical authors (e.g. 'Homer' rather than 'Homeros'). And I'd love to have some dra in my room :) Radiant_* 16:09, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
      • The exception to the rule being "criterions". :-) Chris 21:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I don't have a pick to take, and the list as a whole is nice to have. As for the name, I suppose it doesn't matter either way. For the record, most OneLook hits don't give a plural at all, but those that do variously give both forms or only oxymora. So would seem rather futile to claim that one's right and the other's wrong. -- Smjg 16:45, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Ruakh 18:36, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I split the contents into categories, and remove some of the less humorous or more pointless examples. DJ Clayworth 18:57, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. Especially with the recent category split, which better clarifies the nature of the entries. Dtobias 19:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep rewrite, but the previous version which did not differentiate between true oxymorons and the joke ones was pretty bad. -R. fiend 19:40, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect back to Oxymoron#examples. Keeping this "list of" as a separate article is just bait for vandals. Rossami (talk) 07:42, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep 212.50.160.44 20:50, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge with Oxymoron, along with some further cleanup. Several of the examples are not oxymorons. Arkyan 08:58, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Average tangent theorem

Self-promotion of a mathematic theory. Google [Average Tangent Theorem Gabriel] gives >630 hits, most of which describe the theory as lacking proofs and unsound. Seems to have ony appeared online, and going on what I've read I think it should be deleted--nixie 01:19, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Non-notable theory. I looked at Gabriel's web page and it seems he thinks this theory will revolutionize all the theory of calculus. While I suppose that's possible, perhaps we should wait until it does? Eric119 02:24, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete vanity theorem that (yes) rehashes the Fundamental theorem of calculus. Mr. Gabriel's enthusiasm is commendable, but he should try some humility and listen to experienced mathematicians, lest he become a crank. Gazpacho 09:41, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete - at best original research. Charles Matthews 17:49, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep - The article clearly states the theorem has yet to be proved or disproved. That it's a rehashing of the fundamental theorem is non-sense. It offers a unique perspective and is worthy of investigation.
• Keep - I placed this on the google forum and regretted it. No one was able to conclusively disprove it. I have communicated with the author on several occasions. Eric119 reckons we should wait until the theorem is notable. How ironic since this is a vehicle to expand and share information. Why not let the readers decide for themselves whether it be true or false? Jason Wells

Big Pink Yorkshire

0 google hits leads some of us to believe this is a hoax. If it isn't I suspect it is the very definition of non-notability. Delete. -R. fiend 01:25, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, since this does appear to be a hoax --nixie 02:12, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, hoax. Edeans 02:51, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• If this turns out to be a hoax, its organiser should be deleted as well. Mgm|^(talk) 09:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete 0 Yahoo Search hits, 1 MSN Search hit (wikipedia entry). CheekyMonkey 09:31, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Zero google hits so not notable. Sjakkalle 10:41, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Just to say that User:Calton thought this page was something to do with me, but it really isn't! Grinner 12:35, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete for reasons stated by R. fiend. -- Antaeus Feldspar 17:21, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. I used to live there and I think this is real - I could be wrong though. Robinoke 22:32, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Well, I think we could probably find some Wikipedian who lives in that area and who has enough of a finger on the pulse of the LGBT scene that they could tell us whether it's real or not. However, even if it's a real festival, if it made so little impact that it gets no Google hits -- is it notable enough to be worth keeping? -- Antaeus Feldspar 15:25, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Fair point. Robinoke 20:08, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Not notable, at least not yet...Ganymead 02:05, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

-id

Wiktionary had had Wiktionary:-id for three months prior to the creation of this article. The editor who added the {{move to Wiktionary}} tag asked if there were any way to make this article more encyclopaedic. The answer appears to be "No.". Uncle G 01:29, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

• Redirect to List of English suffixes. Kappa 02:28, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Kevin Rector 19:32, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• merge and redirect as per Kappa. Thryduulf 22:04, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete as the final step in the transwiki process. While Kappa's suggestion to redirect to list of English suffixes is appealing, I believe that article is also one which should be moved to Wiktionary. Rossami (talk) 07:38, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • The move to wiktionary notice on list of English suffixes that was placed today has been moved to the talk page as the move is being disputed. Currently there are three editors (inlcuding myself) who oppose the move, and none who support it. Thryduulf 09:53, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Asopos de Vliet

Student rowing club at Liden University. Delete since it has no potential to become encyclopedic. The name is also not in english--nixie 02:00, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete, no indication of notability. Edeans 02:47, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. It's not "Liden" but Leiden. An indication of notability is the vigorousness of its website (linked from the article): take a look at the front page, and the amount that has been added just in the last week or so. The article therefore may have the potential to become encyclopedic. And I haven't a clue why anyone would object to the fact that its name is not in English. Why should it have a name in English? (Would you prefer it if Matsushita were "Under the Pine Tree", or indeed if Kodak were an English name?) But I agree that there's no indication of notability within the article, and for this reason do not (yet) make a "Keep" vote. -- Hoary 05:39, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC) ......... PS Meester's comment below has persuaded me to say keep. (Not the royal connection but the historical importance.) -- Hoary 11:23, 2005 Mar 29 (UTC)
• Delete. So we should keep it because they have a put a lot of effort into their website? Not notable, no matter how nifty their website is. DaveTheRed 05:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • No, not what I was suggesting at all. Activities described in the website, not effort put into the markup, etc., of the website. Did you see the website? Take a look -- just knowing that maart is Dutch for March shows us anglophones that a lot is going on. -- Hoary 06:15, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Delete, not notable, advertisement. Megan1967 07:06, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Question is, what is the consensus on student societies (including frats and the like). This is one of the larger student societies in Leiden, which has a major university in the Netherlands. About 250 members if I recall correctly, and they participate in international varsity rowing contests. Abstain for now. Radiant_* 10:07, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • From what I've observed, national frats get kept, local ones and clubs almost always get merged. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:41, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • Very well, in that case merge with something like Leiden student associations. Radiant_* 09:46, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Based on what Radiant! says about their participation "in international varsity rowing contests", they would seem to be at least as notable as a lot of US college teams having articles. Can we have more details? How much do they compete? Have they won anything? Abstaining but leaning towards keep. / Uppland 10:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • As it looks now, the most appropriate thing seems to be to work it into a "student life" section in the university article. Merge and redirect. / Uppland 16:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep based on what Meester says below. But please expand the article and write something on the Njord club as well. / Uppland 11:39, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Weak keep. I've tried my darnedest to rewrite this article, but though I'm Dutch, I'm no rowing expert, and both Google and their homepage didn't help me much. They're real, they're notable enough in Leiden, but as far as I can tell they never participated in international contests (and they're not the only rowing club in Leiden). I can't even find membership statistics on their homepage, so I'm having trouble adding verifiable facts. No doubt I'm looking in the wrong place, but as I said, I'm no rowing expert.
  This article should have been created at the Dutch Wikipedia first, that would have made things a lot easier. No doubt this is fancruft by an enthusiast; I wish said enthusiast would add a little more meat to flesh out the bones it is now.
  Oh, and Megan: advertisement? What, were you tempted to sign up? JRM 14:08, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Delete student clubs unless truly famous or notable. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:36, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Nn rowboatcruft. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:47, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep internationally active rowboatcruft. Kappa 21:28, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep One thing that might be considered: this is a piece of rowing history, as Njord was the eldest rowing club in the Netherlands and De Vliet the eldest female club. Also, current Queen of the Netherlands Beatrix rowed at De Vliet... Meester 13:09, 29 Mar 2005 (UTC)

extant

There don't appear to be any suitable nouns to redirect this adjective to. Needless to say: the article is a dictionary entry about a word, and not an encyclopaedia article about a person/concept/thing; and Wiktionary already had Wiktionary:extant before this article was created. Uncle G 02:02, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

Death by element stubs

Recently some element stubs have been created. (Again. See this debate.) As before, these are nonnotable, essentially informationless, and are extrapolationcruft, which I am now firmly against. (I wasn't always.) The specific pages are Unbiquadium, Unbipentium, Unbiseptium, Unbioctium, Unbiennium, Untrinilium, Untriunium, Untritrium, Unquadhexium, Unquadseptium, Unoctbium, Binilnilium. A few of these were created before and deleted. Eric119 02:04, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete all. There's an HTML comment warning not to create these things in Periodic table (extended), I guess the contributor missed it :( Kappa 02:13, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Actually, I added that comment after my annoyance with all these pages. I've recently made the comment stronger with lots of exclamation marks so that (I hope) people notice it. (As evidenced by the VfD, it didn't work before.) Eric119 03:07, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. And please join the discussion here. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:21, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. My comments in discussion above, but basically extensive scientific conjecture can be notable in itself, but if it's not there (and cited) the thing should go. Demi ^T/_C 08:13, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Delete and replace with redirects to Periodic table to deter recreators. Radiant_* 10:05, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Oh and btw, speediable as recreation of previously deleted material. Radiant_* 10:17, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Merge/Redirect all such titles to Undiscovered elements or something like that. Such a page can have a table of all these elements along with their chemical symbols. In that way you will avoid the recreation of such articles until the elements are discovered, and some users might have some interest in such an article. Sjakkalle 14:52, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete and remove links from Periodic table (extended) page. — RJH 18:11, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep, preferable undelete and revert to earlier, more nicely formatted versions. From the deletion policy: If an article is repeatedly re-created by unassociated editors after being deleted, this should be seen as evidence for the need for an article. I see no reason to delete a set of harmless placeholders; they will be needed when the scientific community learns about the properties of these elements. Okay, we likely have to wait some time for the discovery of Binilnilium, maybe delete all with atomic number > 130? jni 18:38, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Question NOT rhetorical. 1) Are these elements known to be physically possible in any meaningful sense, or are they just a mechanical exercise in applying IUPAC rules and extrapolating mathematical sequences? 2) For which of these elements are there laboratories actively pursuing their discovery? There's a big difference between saying "the source of the diamondiferous kimberlite float that occurs 900 metres west of the Jericho kimberlite has not been discovered," knowing that there must be such a source, and saying "a method of squaring the circle with ruler and compass has not been discovered." Dpbsmith (talk) 19:14, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete (house matters first). These elements will without question be produced in one of the world's particle accelerators. It is only a question of when. For practical purposes, the larger the atomic number, the more difficult it is to create an element, so lower numbers are on the job card first. I see no need, however, of creating articles with extremely generic names for elements whose properties will not be fully known until they are actually brought into existence. Denni☯ 01:32, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
    • I beg to differ. It is not without question that the elements will in fact ever be created, because of the amount of energy required. There is already talk of creating an orbital particle accelerator, since the existing ones on Earth (e.g. CERN) aren't big enough. Since the costs of such would be, well, astronomical, I find it highly dubious to assert that binilnilium for instance will ever be created anywhere. Radiant_* 09:45, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete again. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Merge and redirect them all into Undiscovered chemical elements. There's obviously a demand for such info. And this is the least messy solution that avoids constant recreation. Mgm|^(talk) 20:59, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Sorry, atomic number 200? Although I'm loath to say flat-out that theses substance cannot exist, Radiant's comment about the sheer quantity of energy required is valid. Even an island of stability only goes so far, and for most of these I think we'd need a collider the size of the solar system. In theory, we can build an arbitrarily large collider, and use it to synthesize arbitrarily large nuclei, and so we should have an entry for every single possible undiscovered element, from 120 to 100000000 and every integer in between. In theory, every vanity page should be saved, expanded, and heavily interlinked, because everyone is notable for an arbitrary definition of "notable". The currently-accepted model of nucleosynthesis says this is simply not going to get made, ever, not even if we bankrupt our entire civilization (for the broadest possible definition of 'we' and 'civilization'). If you come up with a better model of nucleosynthesis and a compelling reason to accept it, then MAYBE there'll be a reason to have an entry for binilnilium. This is not like eka-silicon, where we already knew about several elements beyond the empty space. Delete, delete them all, and do not not not not not not create Undiscovered chemical elements unless you've come up with a radical new theory of nucleosynthesis. DS 14:44, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete all again. Wikipedia should not be in the business of predicting future events. The mention that already exists in the larger article is sufficient. Rossami (talk) 07:33, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep any that could conceivably exist. There are plenty of concepts in math and science that can never exist in real life, but they can be modeled by computers and can be used to determine things about the elements that really do exist. Bear in mind, some of the heavier elements that have been manufactured in the lab have only existed for nanoseconds before falling apart, and yet they are not kicked out. Also, who knows what we may discover in this universe - perhaps conditions in black holes or other such phenomena are conducive to creating these elements. What we do know is that if such elements are ever created (or found to exist somewhere), they will be bound by the laws of physics to meet certain characteristics. --BD2412 20:37, 23 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Does someone know who the inventor of the driveway is? Will we solve the age old question of why we drive in a parkway and park in a driveway? If someone gets passionate about the driveway to the extent that they want to write an encyclopedia entry on the topic they can always recreate it when the time comes.

Non-notable. Neutrality^talk 03:05, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

• A gathering of 200 people on an IRC channel does not warrant an entire encyclopedia article. Perhaps it could be mentioned in Unix epoch, so either merge or delete outright.

• As I mentioned on the talk page, I recommend a Merge and redirect to Unix epoch as Slowking Man says. Front page on Slashdot seems to establish this time as notable (so as not to suggest that any other times would suddenly warrent mention), but a whole article? There really isn't much to say other than it's a big, cool looking number, and there were a lot of people on IRC at the time. Give it its mention on the proper page, nothing more. --InShaneee 03:26, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia isn't only for things on the news you know.... Tcwd
    • Not necessarily, but a mention or two in some mainstream news sources would help to back up claims that the event was "momentous" or a "milestone". I was being a bit sarcastic about major news networks covering it, but a Google News search for "1111111111" currently brings no hits, so it seems even the niche/techie press have ignored it (save perhaps for Slashdot as claimed above). Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 22:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
      • Less than 24 hours after the event, I think its a little hasty to be wrtiting it off as having no media coverage at all. Not all the technie news sources are updated daily, and google's indexing isn't instantaneous, even of those that are. Thryduulf 22:44, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

dork

The same anonymous user added the same original article to both Wiktionary and Wikipedia. Wiktionary turned it into Wiktionary:dork.

So I haven't bothered too much about the niceties of transwikification in this case. I don't see any potential for an encyclopaedia article here. Uncle G 04:29, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

Barg

1. To move about clumsily. 2. To intrude or interrupt, especially rudely: barged into the meeting. It's hard to believe that anyone who would take the trouble to create such an elegant dicdef would (i) fail to notice that dicdefs don't belong here and (ii) fail to correct "Barg" (sic). So it smells of copyvio, too. -- Hoary 05:05, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

FYI, I have edited the article so it looks like real text instead of a joke. And since Mailer Diablo says it was all a misunderstanding anyway (and as a dog project person--if we had seen it first & cleaned it up, it never shd've been VFDed :-) ), I'm going to remove the vfd. Elf | Talk

• Sorry, but since there is no such thing as 'speedy removal from VfD', please keep the tag for a couple more days. Radiant_* 12:57, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Well, when the original poster said it was a misunderstanding, and the dog project clearly identifies it as a valid article, it's misleading and confusing to leave the vfd on an article that everyone knows is not going to be deleted. In other words--this was a mistake to be listed here; surely the policy doesn't insist that mistakenly labeled vfds must remain so labeled? Elf | Talk 14:58, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. The name is consistent with the conventions developed by the dog breeds Wikiproject (four out of the five main English language breed associations use this form of the name, only the US doesn't) -- sannse (talk) 13:39, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, but do make sure that redirects from the US naming convention exist. No early removals, but I think this is a very safe keeper, especially now that the article has been improved. Geogre 14:32, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Redirect to binary. DaveTheRed 18:33, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Not to get contentious, but has anyone asking for a redirect read the article itself? zeros and ones (all lowercase) was the BBS name. Binary is a disambiguation page and nothing in there refers to a BBS by name or BBS's in general. And, no, it was never named "zeroes and ones". And no, I don't maintain that the BBS originated the slogan; it was named after the slogan and adopted it as its motto. — Xiong (talk) 02:18, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)
  • We realize that the article is about a BBS. The point is that we do not believe it to be a notable BBS that should have its own article, or even be mentioned in Wikipedia. And you are correct, since binary is a disambig, we should probably redirect to Binary numeral system. DaveTheRed 05:43, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• I'm sure I'm missing the point. The BBS has nothing whatever to do with the binary numeral system. It doesn't make any sense whatever to redirect a user who is looking for information about the BBS to a page discussing binary*anything. If the article is deleted, there's no point replacing it with a redirect. Nothing points to it that does not point to it in the sense of a BBS name; check it out.

I seriously doubt that many editors will create a link of the form zeros and ones that desires to point to the binary system of notation. The more common form, when discussing the binary system, is ones and zeros (118K Google hits vs. 74K)

As for "notable", well, gee, we've got at least 22 distinct articles, each one profiling a single Pokemon character. I admit I know little about Pokemon, but just shooting straight from the hip, I'd be willing to agree that whichever 1 or 2 characters are most important within the Pokemon world might be sufficiently "notable" to pass the test. But all 22? Not to mention (literally) dozens of articles about every detail and aspect of the world of Pokemon, including several categories, subcategories, and sub-sub categories. This is not so much a set of articles about Pokemon as a wikification of the game itself; I worry about infringement. Personally, I would not like to be the one to defend Regirock in a VfD. But you don't see me over there tearing it down, either.

I offer a bone to those who, I suspect, doubt the mere existence of zeros and ones. I believe it is still in operation; at any rate the domain is up: [2]. If you're wondering why there is no content on the page other than a pretty background, it's probably because they are inside discussing, among other things, hacking, phreaking, piracy, and all the other 3l33t topics BBSs were known for. Like most former dial-ups, I suspect they've made the transition to the net, but you'd need a First Class client to connect. I'll see if I can dig that out.

Searching for tracks of this BBS on the web may be very difficult. BBSs, taken together, were an extremely closed world in some ways. Many illegal things were discussed (and some done), plus an aura of danger, secrecy, and mystique was cultivated for its own sake. Each BBS maintained lists of other BBSs, but these lists were not published in other media (for obvious reasons). The rise of the net, with similar subcultures, coincided with and brought about the decline of the dial-up BBS; users made the transition, but few systems.

While researching, I have come across a few more recent references to entities named "zeros and ones". If this article survives, I should like it renamed to zeros and ones BBS; zeros and ones itself should be a disambiguation.

I have no idea why this article upsets Wikipedians so much. I find it hard to believe it is just that we feel this BBS was insufficiently influential -- I'd be happy to reduce the claim if that would satisfy anyone. In some way, the article must touch a raw nerve or violate a taboo, and I do wish Somebody would be more explicit.

— Xiong (talk) 09:15, 2005 Mar 20 (UTC)

• When dealing with websites and BBS's, Wikipedia tends to only have articles on those that are notable. There are literally millions of BBSs on the web. Having articles for all of them would be unencyclopedic. Your analogy with Pokemon is falacious, because while Pokemon may not be important in the grand scheme of life, Pokemon is instantly recognizable to a large number of people, and therefore notable in its own right. The bottom line is that zeros and ones is not notable enough to merit an article in Wikipedia. Therefore the only options are to either delete it outright, or to redirect somewhere that it might do some good. Since zeros and ones is a conceivable search string someone might use when searching for the binary numeral system, I argue that we should redirect there. Hope this explaination is helpful. DaveTheRed 07:01, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• It doesn't touch a nerve or violate a taboo with me. I've been part of the BBS scene and there are thousands of BBS'es, for many of which the claims you make about illegal discussions or happenings, or society impact, are equally valid. The point is that the BBS scene as a whole is notable and merits articles, but an individual BBS in general does not (along the same lines, we have articles on the Internet but not on each individual website). Radiant_* 13:01, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

I've been in touch with Gil Burns, the zeros and ones sysop. He says the BBS (like so many of its time) is no longer running, but he has graciously sent me some of the old graphics, which I intend to unpack and add to the article.

I don't think the discussions of blue boxes and occasional exchange of contraband were themselves "notable". Rather, it was the spirit in which these discussions were conducted -- often acrimonious -- and the philosophy which enabled the community to survive contention: It's all just zeros and ones! While I don't assign credit to the BBS for originating the slogan, it did assume it as its name and put it forward at every opportunity; thus the BBS is a notable step in the slogan's etymology.

I didn't compare zeros and ones to Pokemon. I compared an article on zeros and ones to the article Regirock. Can you, without visiting that page, name a single characteristic of the subject of this article? I certainly cannot, but let me go look again:

"Regirock was sealed away by people long ago....Its body is composed entirely of rocks." Well, that is certainly notable. There does not seem to be a single thought in this article that is not copied directly from its single reference: [3]. I wonder if Nintendo might not consider the large repository of similar articles, taken together, infringement.

More accurately, I am comparing the class of articles written about online communities to the class of articles written about individual characters within fictional universes. Am I the only person who feels that a group of live human beings and their doings is at least as "notable" as a rectangle of cardboard with a rather hastily-drawn imaginary character upon it? — Xiong (talk) 15:07, 2005 Mar 21 (UTC)

• I believe that live humans are more important than characters from pokemon. But not necessarily more notable. Regirock is instantly recognizable to hundreds of thousands of pokemon fans. Can you say that your BBS is instantly recognizable to hundreds of thousands of people? None of this is relevant, because an article must be notable in its own right. The fact that there exists an article that you think is less notable has no bearing on whether this one should be kept. DaveTheRed 18:51, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Extreme weak delete. There is nothing here in this article that is particularly distinctive or notable. Compare, for example, to Monochrome BBS or Rusty n Edie's BBS. If this article is improved, please contact me on my talk page and I will reconsider my vote. —RaD Man (talk) 19:36, 21 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Withdraw -- I have looked at both the BBS articles to which you refer; they are mighty thin. The one under consideration is thinner still, but I expect to bring it up to the minimal standard set by Monochrome and Rusty & Edie. As I said, I'm in touch with the former sysop; he's sent me some graphics from the site, and I can probably pump him for a lot more content. Nor have I entirely given up mining my own archives or the web at large, particularly Usenet archives.

But all of this is *promises*. I agree with DaveTheRed that a big pile of rubbish over there does not justify a little pile of rubbish over here that might someday prove "notable". I hope I am permitted to withdraw the article in question and join the concensus to delete. I have moved the existing content and Talk to a user subpage, User:Xiong/Zeros and ones BBS. I'll develop it there and put it back on when I have more to show for it. The move has left a redirect, which in accordance with concensus I have altered to redirect to Binary. — Xiong (talk) 02:20, 2005 Mar 22 (UTC)

I altered the redirect to point to binary numeral system, since I think that's the more useful redirect for now. DaveTheRed 06:07, 22 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Lie-to-children

Neologism coined in a sci-fi novel. Doesn't seem to have taken hold anywhere else. Google searching is problematic, since the phrase "Lie to children" is popular enough, but none of the hits I went through used the phrase as a noun, or used it with hyphens. A search for the phrase "lie-to-children" + Discworld returns 23 hits [4]. DaveTheRed 07:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

       • Ouw dear, all I can find is a comment in the history by User:Stevertigo, which inquires if vfd might be nescesary, but I don't see him subsequently put up a vfd posting. (I checked his edit log for april 2004), and that's what I likely remembered. *Slight embarresment*, please be kind, this was almost a year ago now! The discussion I recalled is on user talk here: [5].
    2. Since both articles and consensus can change over time, a blanket rule preventing re-nomination for deletion is a bad rule. In any case, there's no problem to solve with m:instruction creep here. The only re-nominations that are really problematic are the few ones such as Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Professor Birch (recount), where an article is re-nominated an excessively short period after the a discussion was closed as "keep" (11 hours in this case). Such nominations have been generally dealt with reasonably, in my experience. Uncle G 12:40, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Keep, but with reservations. Article needs cleanup and expansion. Megan1967 10:18, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Phrase is used in some Terry Pratchett novels (particularly Soul Music; also lies-to-wizards in Science of Discworld). If someone can substantiate that it is also used elsewhere, keep. Radiant_* 10:44, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• As Kim Bruning said, The Science of Discworld is not a science-fiction novel. Google searching is easier if one uses Google Groups, as this phrase for describing the concept of progressively closer approximations to reality in education has gained popularity in discussions where rigour is habitual. Here is an occurrence from sci.stat.math and here is another from rec.games.frp.dnd for example. Keep but without the speedy appellation. DaveTheRed's nomination wasn't vandalism. Uncle G 10:50, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
  • Ah oh ok, sorry, though I think speedy for a re-vfd (even if accidental) is probably still appropriate, I'll switch for now and wait for policy to catch up. Kim Bruning 11:24, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • It happens rarely enough that it doesn't require a separate policy, and any article voted 'kept' is usually 'kept' on the second vote as well. Various proposals for speedy keep have been rejected by consensus (mostly because of potential of being POV and abusable), and I don't see how this would fare any differently. Radiant_* 11:59, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah, roger! Those proposals are just on vfd talk? Kim Bruning 12:21, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Some of them. Also try deletion policy talk, and the category of rejected policies. I'm afraid there's no easy indexing system here. Radiant_* 09:42, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• Keep I'm familiar with the concept, but wasn't aware it had a name (nor that mass wasn't a constant when you do physics beyond GCSE level). Thryduulf 13:29, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. ComCat 02:53, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

R.E. Lee Deville

This is what has happened to this article so far:

1. This page was initially created as vandalism; most likely an attack.
2. I nominated for deletion. (see below)
3. During the debate User:Remes made a commendable rewrite of the article, but apart of him, only one person, yours truly, commented on it (I changed my vote from delete to weak delete).
4. The article was deleted.
5. The article was undeleted (Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion#R.E. Lee Deville) with some doubts from several users.
6. I have now submitted this for deletion again for a new debate.

My vote is still delete. I know it may seem paradoxical that I keep voting keep on fictional Pokémon characters and delete on real people; but I think that fictional characters are often known to more people, and therefore more notable. I am not saying that they should be more notable, but I feel that they are. Sjakkalle 08:31, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• This page was undeleted out of process. It's supposed to stay on VfU for 5 days before the article is undeleted. I see nothing notable about this person. Delete. RickK 08:47, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, agree with the average college professor criterion. Demi ^T/_C 09:15, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)
• Keep but with reservations. Article needs expansion. Megan1967 10:22, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, notability not established (and no, having an Erdos number of 3 doesn't count). Radiant_* 10:48, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, unless there is evidence put forth he clears the average professor bar. I would encourage zealous admins to follow the VfU procedure. --TenOfAllTrades | Talk 19:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Still not notable, and undeletion was out of process. Jayjg ^(talk) 20:13, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. 51 Google hits. 44 if references to the VfU/VfD discussions are omitted. Several of them are personal home pages and class schedules. His CV shows eight publications. To me, these don't add up to encyclopedic notability yet. Maybe in a few years... Dpbsmith (talk) 20:44, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Fails the average professor test. Out of process undeletion. jni 20:51, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Not more notable than the average professor. DaveTheRed 21:34, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Math professors are not inherently notable, and there is nothing in the article that indicates this one is exceptional. --BM 22:37, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment. First, to quote from my comment on the original VfD: "I have absolutely no knowledge of mathematics, so I can't say whether he's notable, although I doubt it, since essentially he's a postdoc at NYU." I'm not voting in this VfD, although I'm not going to be sad if it get deleted. It would be nice if someone who knew about academic mathematics could say whether his articles are notable or not, since I don't really accept a Google test as a reasonable gauge one way or the other in this case. Remes 19:13, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete I was among those who voted to undelete, as I figured it deserved another go as rewritten (the original was a silly attack page). While this is a vast improvement, the subject is just not notable enough. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:40, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

R.E. Lee Deville

The article freely admits that Mr. Deville is "of little merit". THat does not sound particularily notable. I suggest that this article be deleted. Sjakkalle 15:13, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Delete. Vanity, or perhaps just nonsense. Remes 16:34, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment. I have just rewritten this article as a stub about the real R.E. Lee DeVille. I have absolutely no knowledge of mathematics, so I can't say whether he's notable, although I doubt it, since essentially he's a postdoc at NYU. Someone who knows more about math could look at it and comment here about whether he's worth keeping in. Also, my stub is really inadequate, because I can't really understand his CV or his research interest statement. Again, someone who knows more about math could do much better than I did. Anyway, I'm going to withhold a vote at all now, because while this is no longer the attack or nonsense that it was before, I'm still not sure whether he's sufficiently notable or not. Remes 22:58, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. This sounds like nonsense to me. Insufficient information to even contemplate verifying.Average Earthman 16:57, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete He's real, a research mathematician at NYU... but this article smells more like an attack page than an attempt to start a bio stub. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:16, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
• Delete. Looks like an attack, may not merit a page anyway. Jayjg ^(talk) 19:38, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Delete, could be speedied as a personal attack/vandalism, else a rant. Wyss 00:49, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

I was on the verge of nominating this for a speedy deletion, but I was a bit unsure. I was sure that this article merited a deletion or massive cleanup. Sjakkalle 07:25, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Still delete but weakened, Remes has made a valiant attempt at saving this page, and the page is no longer an attack (or perhaps a self-deprecating vanity?). I do not think that Deville passes the average college professor bar (I believe that has been the standard on whether to keep or delete such articles) for notability however, being an associate research scientist would suggest that he does not. Nonetheless, Remes should be thanked for his attempt. Sjakkalle 07:18, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Isn't being a copyvio a valid reason? Mgm|^(talk) 21:05, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment: No, or not in terms of current policy, anyway. The policy on speedy deletions is at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion, and at Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion#Notes explicitly states Please note that copyright problems are not candidates for speedy deletion unless they meet one of the above criteria. The policy on copyvios is at Wikipedia:copyright problems, and the procedures there don't include speedy deletion as an option. No change of vote. Andrewa 09:32, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Ah, I just typed that and got an edit conflict :) anyway if you see a copyvio, you should blank the article and slap a {copyvio} tag on it, then list it on the page indicated by that tag.
        • Comment: IMO the policy on what to do if a copyvio is already listed here is not terribly clear in some cases, but to now list this one as a copyvio seems a complete waste of time to me. It will not make deletion any faster, and will make it a lot more complicated. What's the point? Ideally, check for copyvios before listing on VfD, and list pure copyvios in the proper place and not here. In this case, the copyright owner will probably give permission anyway, and the VfD case is strong, so surely just VfD is the go. No change of vote. Andrewa 23:54, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

intensive

Wiktionary had had Wiktionary:intensive for 7 months prior to the creation of this article. I don't see scope for an encyclopaedia article about this adjective.

BugOS

This operating system appears to be the creation of a single person as a hobby. Very few google references exist, other than Wikipedia or DMOZ mirrors, and other uses of the unrelated word "bugos". I don't think an operating system someone wrote themselves as a hobby that is historically insignificant, insignificant in terms of operating systems research, has insignificant production use, and which no one seems to have heard of, is sufficiently notable to warrant inclusion in wikipedia. Sure, its a cool thing to write your own operating system (I've always wished I had done it), and it takes some effort. But merely doing so does not in and of itself warrant your work's inclusion in an encyclopedia. --SamuelKatinsky 13:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • It should be noted that in early 90's Sega and Nintendo games (Metroid? Chrono Trigger? Mario?) it isn't the "Argh!!!!" that adds to the effect, but saying the name of the attack in full that makes it work. Invariably, such attacks have a somatic component as well, but rarely a material component. However, in the case of "Crossbow attack!", a bolt is expended. Alphax ^τεχ 18:02, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

1976 World Surrealist Exhibition

• Delete Non-Notable Article was created by user Daniel C.Boyer in 2003 to promote Surrealist Movement in the United States. A Google Search yields over 19,000 hits for World Surrealist Exhibiton, note that those are keywords. The first page of hits on Google are for the Wikipedia Article and various encyclopedias. This, "1976 World Surrealist Exhibition" was only a local art event held in Chicago back in 1976 (that did exhibit over 500 artworks from relatively unknown, "surrealists") yet is not notable ebough to warrant any attention from the International Art Scene and Art Historians. This event was referenced in the book edited by Franklin Rosemont, "What is Surrealism", who was also organizer of self-promoted event. Note that the editor, Franklin Rosemont (a noted labor historian and self-described surrealist) claims to be the one chosen by Andre Breton to lead surrealism after his death. No credible evidence can prove that this man even met Breton. His event, "1976 World Surrealist Exhibition" was never acknowledged by art historians and surrealism experts like Mary Ann Caws. A very misleading article that should not be referenced as credible by students and researchers studying surrealism. Not Notable.
  • Note: Above nomination is by User:Classicjupiter2, if anyone couldn't guess. -- Infrogmation 17:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. With 499 google hits for the exact title, I'd otherwise be neutral or weak keep, but as this listing argues for deletion almost entirely on the basis of taking sides in a surrealism clique war rather than sticking to Wikipedia notability standards, I oppose this call for deletion. Sheesh. -- Infrogmation 17:20, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Infrogmation, this listing argues for deletion according to Wikipedia notability standards. Please do not make allegations.Classicjupiter2 17:56, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: There is so much wrong with this it's difficult to know where to begin, but here's a shot:

1. Classicjupiter2 assumes bad faith on my part by saying that I created the article to promote the Surrealist Movement in the United States but fails to give any support for this bald assertion.
2. Classicjupiter2 states that this was a "local art event," but unless he is using "local" in a highly idiosyncratic way (every event takes place in some locale) it is certainly strange to describe something in which people from 31 countries participated as "local".
3. Franklin Rosemont never claimed that he was selected by Andre Breton to lead surrealism. I would challenge Classicjupiter2 to give me any source on this. He won't be able to because it never happened.
4. The World Surrealist Exhibition was extensively (if somewhat negatively) covered in the mainstream press.
5. Mary Ann Caws being an "expert" on surrealism is certainly open to debate. ("Too many gaps [in history of surrealism she acknowleges, i.e. post-1966] to establish credibility." I might also say, "Classicjupiter2, can you produce a picture of Mary Ann Caws? How do we know she even exists? Who is this person? Did she ever meet Breton and why don't we have a picture of them together?" but I won't.) --Daniel C. Boyer 18:10, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Dear Daniel C.Boyer, regarding your request to produce a picture of Mary Ann Caws, along with her biography and publications, please go here, http://www.maryanncaws.com/bio.php

Now that page contains the proper references and notability that can help someone with their research and is also looking for an expert on surrealism to help guide them. Oh, Daniel, Andre Breton died in 1966, in case you did not know.Classicjupiter2 19:18, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep. Notable enough for me, and does not meet any criteria for deletion. I'm concerned that this VfD is a personal attack. Foobaz·o< 21:15, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

• Keep, And A Call To Arms. Would all competent wikipedians please go to ""? It, too, is a legitimate article in danger of deletion because of someone out to, "prove a point." Just like this article (which should stay), it has an abundance of references but is still being attacked. Not to be confused with the absolute foolishness of, "" which was at best a grossly exaggerated feature/prank loosely based on an actual family.
  • Above vote by Nanaszczebrzeszyn, who has only three edits and is alleged to be a sockpuppet. Please don't go spam another VfD thread that has already been sockpuppeted to death.
• Oh and btw keep this article, but if half of what CJ says about it is true then it requires cleanup and dePOVage. Radiant_* 13:11, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Images by Rnt20 moved to commons

I have now moved most of the images I put onto en.wiki to the wikipedia commons. The following en.wiki pages should probably now be deleted, as they are no longer linked to by wiki pages, and are duplicates of wikipedia commons pages:

Image:Black_hmong_women_sapa_1999.jpg, Image:Flower_hmong_women_bac_ha_1999.jpg, Image:Florence_duomo.jpg, Image:Ing_tels_sunset.jpg

I have now moved most of the images I put onto en.wiki to the wikipedia commons. The following en.wiki pages should probably now be deleted (also see above).

The following images have the same names on commons.wiki as on en.wiki, so they could be deleted from en.wiki

Image:Not_telescope_sunset_2001.jpg, Image:Subaru_keck_tels.jpg, Image:Cam_colls_from_johns.jpg

PS is there a better way to move pages from en.wiki to commons.wiki? There is nothing in the Wiki help or FAQ.

Take the piss out

Wiktionary already has an independently grown Wiktionary:take the piss. I don't see what could be written about the acts of taking the piss or taking the Mickey (rather than about the phrase) that wouldn't be more than a simple redirect to ridicule, which itself points to Wiktionary in any case.

Duo

This page was listed to be Moved to Wiktionary as it is merely a dictionary definition. Now it's marked as a disambiguation except that it's just disambiguating between two dicdefs and PowerBook Duo. A disambiguation page should not be disambiguating definitions, but rather should be pointing to articles that would naturally have the same name. The only way I can see that this page warrants keeping is if it is redirected to PowerBook Duo. Also, Wiktionary already has independently created articles Wiktionary:Duo and Wiktionary:Duo-. Kevin Rector 19:29, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

• How come this is the only one of the numerical prefix articles being put on Vfd?? Well, because most of the numerical prefix articles are stubs, a probable future of them would be to merge the info and re-direct it to the number article itself; that is to re-direct this article to 2 (number). Georgia guy 21:09, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Because no-one has got around to the others, yet. Most of the articles in Category:Numerical prefixes are dictionary entries duplicating Wiktionary articles in Wiktionary:Category:English prefixes. And Wiktionary simply does a far better job of these things. Wiktionary knows that the prefix is actually Wiktionary:hecto- and not hecta- as Wikipedia has it, for example. Wiktionary also has etymologies, translations, and better word lists for these prefixes. Latin numerical prefixes and Greek numerical prefixes should (at the very least) be lists of interwiki links to the Wiktionary articles. Uncle G 11:47, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
• A comment from Wikipedia:Things to be moved to Wiktionary that agrees with Kevin Rector:
  • Duo Should be made to a redirect to the PowerBook Duo page when it's freed up. —Simetrical (talk) 23:15, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)
• I'm tempted to agree. Uncle G 11:47, 2005 Mar 19 (UTC)
• If Wikt already has it, why don't we just do that now? Radiant_* 19:16, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
• A lot of pages link here, most of these would best be served by a link to list of famous pairs, list of entertainer pairs, or list of pairs of colleagues. I think the best option is a disambig that includes these lists as well as the other meanings.

• Keep. If Wiktionary has an article on lion, should we get rid of our article on lions. The article is currently a useful stub and the brayer is used in printmaking, linocut and collography. Given its uses, I am sure that the article can be expanded further. Capitalistroadster 06:58, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

While it's true that brayers are real things, that doesn't mean that the Wikipedia article about it is anything more than an dictionary definition. I sure hope that the inclusion criteria for the Wikipedia is more than being a noun. Kevin Rector 07:42, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)

• Agree with Kevin's comment. So merge this into an article on some common application of brayers. Radiant_* 09:52, Mar 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment The relevant criteria is not whether the article is currently a stub but whether the article can ever be expanded past that point. Im my view, this article can be. As the brayer is useful in a number of crafts it is difficult to merge. Capitalistroadster 15:36, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Barad Nimras

This stub reads: In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional world of Middle-earth, Barad Nimras was a tower built by Finrod, on the Falas between the havens of Brithombar and Eglarest. It was built to keep watch, should Morgoth try to assail them from the sea. Should this article be deleted, or kept to allow organic growth and expansion?

Class 100 superhuman strength

A single point on a scale of measuring "superhuman strength".

Cabed-en-Aras

Although this stub is longer than most, please allow me to quote it in its entirety: "In J. R. R. Tolkien's The Silmarillion, Cabed-en-Aras (translated as Leap of the Deer) was a deep gorge near Brethil through which the river Taeglin ran.

Túrin slew Glaurung when the dragon was trying to get through the ravine to attack Brethil. Later both were found by Nienor. As a result of Glaurung's machinations she cast herself down the ravine, which was later named Cabed Naeramarth, the Leap of Dreadful Doom. The spot was later considered haunted, and even animals did not come there." What do the last four sentences have to do with the first? How is it relevant?

• Comment on this & all the other Tolkien stuff: they're harmless. I could imagine people looking them up not knowing whether they are real. Even the ones that seem inevitable stubs could merit more, by way of etymology (since Tolkien played with that a lot). I have no problem with merging a lot of this into fewer articles, but the names should all at least be kept as redirects. -- Jmabel | Talk 01:10, Mar 22, 2005 (UTC)

Celebros

Again, if I may quote the entire substub: "In J. R. R. Tolkien's fictional universe of Middle-earth, the river Celebros was a river of Beleriand, a tributary to Taeglin that flowed past Brethil forest. Glaurung was slain by Túrin near where this river met Taeglin, and Nienor Níniel committed suicide by jumping in it." In this particular instance, how is notability worthy of inclusion being illustrated? --GRider\^talk 23:08, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
