This log documents completed deletion requests.

June 2005

• Category:Lists of people by occupation - it looks like Category:People is already organized into subcategories by occupation and so this is unnecessary. Maybe there should be a category of lists or something? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 23:04, 31 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted, since it was empty. -- Netoholic @ 14:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• List of famous left-handed people - a very poor article, possibly not encyclopaedic. List could be copied from en: article though. - Marknew 14:59, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • No objections, deleted. -- Netoholic @ 14:38, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

July 2005

• Peerumboor. Discussion request over a week ago by Shenme. To me, delete since it seems like nothing more than an advertisement. Google shows less than 20 hits and that include a number from the English Wikipedia's speedy deletion. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 00:24, 3 Jul 2005 (UTC)
  • deleteDejvid 7 July 2005 19:17 (UTC)

• Justice another POV rant. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 16:29, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete if not simplified, wiki-linked, and made less of a rant. (I moved this from fast deletion, to discuss.) -- Netoholic @ 20:37, 17 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • It's been over two weeks now with no changes. While I admit the article is needed, just delete it and let it be rewritten better. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 4 July 2005 23:06 (UTC)
  • delete until someone writes a simple english pageDejvid 7 July 2005 19:08 (UTC)

• The Last Memento Of The Beatles. Delete Same writer as Vincent Ruello. It might be notable but I don't consider it really. If we do decide to keep, it should be moved to a more appropriate title. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 02:00, 18 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted. Recreated from . Simple is not a storehouse of articles deleted from en:. -- Netoholic @ 05:45, 18 July 2005 (UTC)

• WinFuture. I'm not sure if this is nothing more than just spam, since I don't think a lack of an English google presence means much. Perhaps one of our wikipedians who read German can either tell us what the article about it on German wikipedia says or simply if this magazine is important. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:20, 9 July 2005 (UTC)

• Vincent Ruello. Delete. I don't believe that he is really notable. Also, it seems to be a copyright violation from somewhere (the copyright tag is still on the page). There isn't really a big Google presense and for what it's worth, this article has already been deleted three times at regular English. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 5 July 2005 07:42 (UTC)
  • delete: not notable and not simple.Dejvid 7 July 2005 19:11 (UTC)

• Kirby Dance. Delete. Really obscure ASCII characters. If we decide to keep, it should be moved to Kirby dance anyways. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 4 July 2005 23:02 (UTC)
  • deleteDejvid 7 July 2005 19:14 (UTC)

• MP redirect. I wasn't sure if there was really some place to discuss redirects but this is as good as any. Right now, it is a redirect to Murdock-Portal Elementary School. MP is a fairly common two-letter combination and a redirect to that article is going to cause article problems. Right now, House of Commons refers to Members of Parliament and this seems like a more confusing redirect than anything. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:14, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • I'd say just turn it into a Disambiguation page, even a short one. I'd much rather debate about whether elementary schools belong on Simple:. -- Netoholic @ 07:34, 26 July 2005 (UTC)
  • Turned it into a disambiguation page. Aurora 05:40, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

August 2005

• ABT-594. This is a discussion of a single experimental pain killer. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Delete not notable for this Wikki and not simple. Dejvid 11:11, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Challenger School. Another school article that doesn't belong here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• Agree. Dejvid 11:09, 5 August 2005 (UTC) that is I agree that it should be deleted. Dejvid 11:13, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Murdock-Portal Elementary School. I know I'm asking for it (after seeing the fights at English), but I think this article should be deleted. It is really way too obscure to belong here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 18:10, 29 July 2005 (UTC)
• delete way too obscure - how many non-notable elementary schools are there in the world?!!! Dejvid 23:49, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
• delete very very very obscure (and I live <150km from the school!)NickGorton 06:34, 11 August 2005 (UTC)

• First Century Messianic Renewed Judaism. Not written in Simple English at all, and very very obscure. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 05:26, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• Delete I agree --Sim 16:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
• Delete It has been deleted from en Wiki. Dejvid 10:00, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

• Hugi. Looks and feels like simply vanity, but I don't know anything about Icelandic articles. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:51, 2 August 2005 (UTC)

• DeleteDejvid 11:17, 5 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep. it is a web site, it is icelandic and it does look huge, check google --Sim 16:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)

• Cheadle Hulme School. Another random not important school. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:39, 15 August 2005 (UTC)

• Generalitat de Catalunya. There's no real context to this, and it seems like a text dump from en:List of Presidents of Catalonia without the text.

• Delete but keep red links Dejvid 12:18, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• Leet It is a really obscure topic, isn't written in simple English and would be hard to rewrite as simple English.Dejvid 12:16, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

• It's not that obscure (and we have plenty more obscure stuff around here). The fact that it would be hard to rewrite isn't a reason to delete it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:26, 6 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep It's selvigable and is probably a good concept to have an explanation of as somebody knowing little english may well come accross leet and be very confused by it --Sim 16:23, 7 August 2005 (UTC)
• Keep but simplify language used. I've simplified the first paragraph, and may do more if I get time. CLW 17:07, 17 August 2005 (UTC)

• Image:Simple English Wikipedia.PNG - a joke? I don't think a screenshot of any website, except to show something important on it that is not part of it's normal content, has any value. Better to just give a URL link. -- Netoholic @ 22:12, 3 August 2005 (UTC)
• keep. it is linked to by Wikipedia:Simple English Wikipedia. er forgot to sign: Dejvid 10:01, 9 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Agree, even though it is on the Simple English Wikipedia it is good to show a preview of the main page on the article. • Thorpe • 12:19, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

• Great Experiments in Physics: Firsthand Accounts from Galileo to Einstein. Just a random textbook. I don't see any particular important to it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:56, 17 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Aurora 04:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• Contextual Physics 1 and Contextual Physics 2. Both very obscure, sort of random textbooks. Frankly, I'm not sure how this could be expanded very much. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:32, 15 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Aurora 04:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)

• QED: The Strange Theory of Light and Matter. Just another random textbook. I don't see any particular important to it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• The Great Physicists from Galileo to Einstein. Just another random textbook. I don't see any particular important to it. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Plymouth Argyle F.C. (2001/2002), Plymouth Argyle F.C. (2002/2003) and Plymouth Argyle F.C. (2003/2004). The clubs were bad enough. We are not going to start writing season schedules here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 07:07, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete useless. Michael 09:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• List of computers viruses. First of all, it's supposedly a copy from a no-longer existing English article. Second, does this article really belong here? Can this ever be kept up to date? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete Like Ricky has said this can never be kept updated, if people want lists of viruses they can go to McAfee or Symantec who updates every hour. BallSack 23:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as per Ricky. Michael 09:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• List of two-letter English words. First of all, it's simple a copy from English with a few attempts at simplification. Second, does this article really belong here? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:39, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as it's just a copy. Michael 09:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

• SECOS. I'm simply going to have the same issues that English already deleted it once for. The fact that this was created by the same author (his Simple page links to his English page) doesn't help. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete - not notable. Michael 09:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete advertDejvid 23:18, 4 September 2005 (UTC)

• Something awful. It seems to just be a link to an external comedy site that has pay forums. I think it should go WP:NOT.-NickGorton 07:52, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
  • It is a popular well-known websites, and are also covered on EN. They are marked as stub so more people can add to the article. They are far more popular than Neopets website, and that website has an article. BallSack 23:55, 23 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep It is popular and well-known. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:33, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• List of terrorist groups. List page appears to be copied from en. On that wikipedia it is contraversial and work has been done to make it more sensative to it's subject, however on simple that isn't the case and I don't know if it could be done. Furthermore it appears to be more or less an orphan, nothing links there and all the links are red. Finally it may be prone to vandalism as the list on en is, but on simple we don't have the users to keep it monitered (and up to date). --Sim 10:43, 19 August 2005 (UTC)

• I vote delete as well. The fact that it is controversial and invites vandalism is not a reason to delete something. Frankly, I simply don't think it belongs here. -- Ricky81682 (talk) 20:24, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

• • Delete. Aurora 04:40, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
  • 'Del as well, its a tasty piece of meat thrown in front of the pit-bulls. -NickGorton 05:29, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete because it does not belong here. Agree with Ricky that just because something is controversial is no reason to delete something. "A tasty piece of meat thrown in front of the pit-bulls" is no reason to delete something in my opinion. Lots of controversial articles invite vandalism, that is not solely enough reason to delete them. BallSack 23:00, 26 August 2005 (UTC)

• Template:Profile China, Template:Profile India, Template:Profile Iran, Template:Profile Iraq, Template:Profile Japan, Template:Profile iran. Replace with Template:Infobox Country. -- Netoholic @ 22:58, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Ok, I'm curious. Why are China and Iraq still around? Is it just that nobody changed the pages the templates are used on? -- Ricky81682 (talk) 06:13, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Iran wasn't capitalized anyway.
  • Delete remaining, as they have been converted to Template:Infobox Country. Michael 07:27, September 9, 2005 (UTC)

January 2006

• MusicBrainz and related templates Links to non-notable websites are essentially linkspam. Only 249 displayed hits and alexa rank of 3,471,422. 24.17.48.241 19:06, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - Simple English Wikipedia serves the globe, and most articles that would use these are for individual works by modern musicians based in the U.S.. Simple English should only have articles about the musicians themselves, at most. -- Netoholic @ 21:31, 3 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: MusicBrainz is a notable web service, it houses information on musicians and albums from all over the world, not just english speaking contries. I have cleaned up the article some as well. CyberSkull 04:42, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep: for reasons above.Vorash 07:53, 4 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. The article is almost exactly the same as the one on the English Wikipedia. That makes it look a lot like spam and not like an earnest contribution to the goals of this project. The language is not simple, it is full of legal and technical jargon: It was founded in response to the restrictions placed on the CDDB. MusicBrainz has expanded its goals to reach beyond a compact disc metadata storehouse. MusicBrainz uses Relatable's patented TRM for acoustic fingerprint matching. MusicBrainz uses RDF/XML for describing music metadata. This barely means anything to me and I am a native English speaker. Sounds barely notable at this stage. --Fastfission 02:36, 8 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Exact copy of English Wikipedia article. -- King of Hearts 00:57, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Projects of Wikimedia

(Deleted. -- Netoholic @ 21:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC))

• Going to always be out of date. Better to point to meta pages like m:List of Wikipedias, for example. -- Netoholic @ 08:12, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete - it's already badly out of date, there are 212 wikipedias already. Also, hopefully you know about this page, might be a better redirect. Blockinblox 15:54, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. I think we should make that other page more well-known. Archer7 17:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. Good call, Netoholic. This should definitely be replaced by a more useful/current page like the one Blockinblox mentioned. --Cromwellt|talk 03:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete: Nothing useful here--last change goes back to December. I agree with you, Blockinblox: the Site Matrix is more useful. Besides, there are indeed more Wikipedias than what is on this page. --Slgrandson 20:59, 16 February 2006 (UTC)

Encyclopædia Dramatica

(Deleted. -- Netoholic @ 21:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC))

• This is not a core encyclopedia article, nor is it referred to by any core article. En: has an article, and there's no need to make it Simple. -- Netoholic @ 07:59, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Whether it is a core article or not has nothing to do with whether it should be deleted. Having extra articles is not a bad thing. It isn't as if someone is going to get lost in the extra articles and not be able to find the information they want (the categories of which are prominently displayed on the main page). If someone wants to use their time on something that *you* think is a waste, let them, that's their right. I agree that this article is a very short stub, and a complicated (not simple) one. Neither one of those things is enough to make an article a candidate for deletion in my opinion (since each is something fixable), and whether or not this is a relevant article is immaterial. If it gets deleted, it won't bother me too much, but I don't think it deserves to be axed, just because it isn't one of the "top 1000." --Cromwellt|talk 20:42, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

• Weak delete. I pretty much agree with everything Cromwellt said, except for saying such entries 'do no harm'. The most effective way to teach/lead is by example. If a newcomer to the site sees Category:websites and Category:Nintendo, versus Category:primates (which itself is only a day or two old, but now exists thanks to user:aflm) I think they will be very misinformed about what we're trying to do here. Thus I am fairly supportive of efforts to try and correct that imbalance and confusion. Also, community repudiation of entries like this would, for example, support my efforts to keep Something Awful Forums a redir to Something Awful, despite repeated attempts to create the SAF article. Freshstart 23:37, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. I agree (certainly as far as categories are concerned) that having many very specific categories and very few general ones would give readers an unbalanced view. However, I think that as long as we have a good variety which includes many general categories (and this goes for articles, too; I'm talking about a much smaller ratio than 1000:1, like maybe 5:1 or 10:1), that websites and Nintendo are good and even useful categories to have, as long as we have content to go in them (which is always available from English Wikipedia for simplification). We're pretty much on the same page (so to speak) on this one, Freshstart. --Cromwellt|talk 23:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

I was using the cats out of laziness, which was probably a bad idea. My main point is that the articles gorilla, bonobo, orangutan, gibbon, marmoset, tamarin, lemur, ape, great ape, lesser ape, and even opposable thumb, for goodness' sake, etc. don't exist (and primate was created only '01:41, 8 February 2006', and chimpanzee is only about one day older--'03:51, 7 February 2006'), yet Game Boys, Game Boy, Game Boy Advance, Game Boy Advance SP, Game Boy Micro, and Nintendo DS, DO, and have for a long time. To me the balance of articles is WAY off. Freshstart 09:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. There's no harm in it, someone might need it someday. I think we do need some sort of project to help improve our 'core' articles though. Archer7 17:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Simple English Dictionary

(Kept. -- Netoholic @ 21:50, 17 February 2006 (UTC))

• Although no part of the Deletion Policy specifically applies, this article is obsolete. All the important information on it (such as dictionary entries) was migrated by the page creator to Simple English Wiktionary, as he says on the talk page. The only pages that link to it now are user pages, redirects, and talk pages of other articles, except for one reference at Wikipedia:Simple English Wikipedia which would be very easy to change. It is basically empty, and Simple English Wiktionary has taken over its function. Though there is a nomination to lock the SEWiktionary, it is active and see my user page there for my personal vision/reasons why I think it should continue. --Cromwell|Talk 14:22, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I'd rather see entries for all basic words have a simple description at the top of the page (but not a full dictionary entry). I'd prefer to link to the main en: Wiktionary with Template:Wiktionary, just so that it's central. -- Netoholic @ 16:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Comment: Netoholic, is the above a comment, a keep vote, or what? We are talking about whether we should delete a page here, not what we should do with all dictionary entries here. --Cromwellt|talk 00:53, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
• Keep, at least from what I see at the moment at Simple Wiktionary--the entries don't indicate whether they're BE nnn, or VOA, or whatever, and I think having a merged list of all those type of lists, especially with definitions (many BE/VOA words have many different meanings, and it is not always obvious which meaning Ogden or whoever had in mind) would be a good thing, and not the purpose of Simple Wiktionary. I see Simple Wiktionary as a tool for readers to look up words, and Wikipedia:Simple English Dictionary as a very valuable resource for editors (at least potentially--right now it doesn't have enough entries to be very helpful, but all wikimedia-related projects started at zero at the beginning) here at Simple Wikipedia (after all it is in the Wikipedia: namespace). As for links, I have always been for as much interconnection between all the sister projects as possible, and would lean towards providing links to both EN Wiktionary AND Simple Wiktionary if they both have entries for the word, and let the reader pick which one they want to check; they might even like to see both. Freshstart 10:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I see this also as (if really necessary) a future section on SEWikt or perhaps an identification on each entry there. That way we follow precedent and logic, avoiding the inclusion here of dictionary entries, part of what wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not last time I checked. As the talk page for that article shows, there is far from a concensus on changing the policy which excludes dictionary entries, so until there is it should stay that way. I admit there has been some support for the idea of including articles on words with simple explanations, but these comments did not take into account the existence of SEWikt as a useful entity because at the time of the comments it was not. --Cromwellt|talk 23:20, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

When it is a viable alternative for Simple Wikipedia editors to use for as much info about BE, VOA-E, etc. exists, I will gladly reconsider my vote. I generally support avoiding duplication, but I am not big on avoiding 'future, potential' duplication. Freshstart 09:07, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

• The first sections, with a list of links to other pages of basic wordlists, is mostly good and should be kept as a useful index to such pages, being moved to a better page title; the actual "Word List" section itself is superfluous and should be deleted. --Blockinblox 16:05, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment. Funny you should mention that, Blockinblox. I thought the same way, so I created a page with just that information, even before I put it up for deletion. Unfortunately, I can't find it now, which means either it was deleted as worthless or I forgot to save before I got off the computer (sometimes my internet is unreliable). I hope that means that your vote changes to a plain old "delete" once one of us does that. --Cromwellt|talk 03:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Why do you think it might be a copyvio? Blockinblox 17:36, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

There's an omitted comment in there. It's copied from the Catholic Bible or something. The text doesn't even make much sense. Archer7 21:42, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

• Delete and start over. It does look like it was copy/pasted from another encyclopedia or Bible commentary. It is anything but wikified, with article references in all-caps and without links, with lists that are indented, causing those ugly boxes and text that spans to about five times the regular screen width, and without any references section at all. Plus the text is very complicated, not simple at all. I agree with Archer7: it might be a copyvio or even original research, but even if it's not, better to start over than try to fix what's there. --Cromwellt|talk 21:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Delete - "World News" is needless in this wiki(because there are Original version and Original version Wikinews). so have to delete this page. -- Korean alpha for knowledge 13:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete for now. I think a Simple English Wikinews is a good idea, and could be made by some of the same people that write English Wikinews. I've never understood why there is a "current events" or "world news" link in the sidebars of most wikis, but if there is a good reason, we can re-add it here later, particularly after we have someone who is dedicated to keeping it up-to-date. The fact that the page talks about current events and pop culture is not a reason to delete it, as I have said in past discussions. The fact that it cannot be kept up-to-date until we have someone dedicated to it is a reason to temporarily delete. Oh, and LBMixPro, a Wikipedia for translators is only one of the purposes of this wiki. There are about four (see Wikipedia:Simple talk#Project direction). --Cromwellt|talk 18:46, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Everybody Loves Raymond

(Kept, no comments for over 1 month. Archer7 15:19, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

• Well-covered on the main en: Wikipedia and others. Doesn't strike me as a core subject of global interest (Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not#What Simple English Wikipedia is not). -- Netoholic @ 21:58, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Personally, I think that Simple should keep articles that could be useful at some point. For example, if we targeted this project more towards schools and perhaps those with learning difficulties that article could be useful. However, if we are scrapping all the articles that aren't core subjects, delete Category:Television series. Archer7 22:05, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I find it interesting that we have articles about so many TV series, yet still do not have a Television series article. This is a prime example of the failure of this project to have clear direction. It has nothing linking to it and is readily covered on the main Wikipedias that cover the region it is important to. Does this article hold any value to someone in China? Is it taught about in any school? Simple does not need to cover all subjects, and we do not need to be held to the rules of the main Wikipedias. Let's make a high-quality encyclopedia geared towards students of English and as an aid to translators who are creating other Wikipedias in their native language. -- Netoholic @ 04:13, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I couldn't agree more about this project lacking direction, and I suppose you're right about that kind of article. I think if we continued to remove articles like this we would lose about 2000 articles, which perhaps wouldn't be such a bad thing. Maybe the community needs to discuss where this project is going, so everyone has a clear view. Articles wildly vary in simplification, so people don't know what to expect from an article here, we need more guidelines for articles. Archer7 10:56, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. Same song, second verse. Deleting articles because they are not "core" articles is not useful. I have no great burden to have an "Everybody Loves Raymond" article on this wikipedia (nor will I feel lugubrious if/when it is deleted), but it should stay out of principle. Limiting what articles we allow is much too restrictive on the editors. Even using words like "allow" shows the overrestrictive nature of the idea. We are not a private club, no, not even here on Simple English Wikipedia. That is what "open-source" means. Whatever happened to assume good faith, etc.? If editors want to make an article and it isn't vandalism or propaganda, etc., it certainly does no harm. As far as the "television series" article, if there were one, it would not bother me, but if I were writing it, I would put it as a section under television until there was enough material to be worth a separate article (if that ever happened). That would also be following precedent. Giving a project direction is one thing. Things like "Collaboration of the Week" and "Translation of the Week" do that. Forcing people to do something (or not do something) is another. As a suggestion, editors who feel strongly about having core articles perhaps should spend more time writing core articles and less time requesting that valid "non-core" articles be deleted. Note: I do not intend this vote/comment as a personal attack nor am I trying to offend anyone. --Cromwellt|talk 16:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
    • To be honest, I'm not sure. I agree with Cromwellt, but I'd also like to see much more of a focus on the core articles, until we get going. We need a big discussion to see where we should go with this project. Archer7 17:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I would love to be a part of such a discussion. And I have no problem with a focus on core articles. I even am interested in writing some of them myself. I feel that our preferences are not mutually exclusive if we are willing to be fair and act in good faith. As a preliminary proposition, how about we make notices in prominent places like the Community portal that say that as we are still starting or until we grow we encourage a focus on core articles. But it is important a)that this is stated as (and really is) temporary, b) that this is stated as (and really is) encouragement, not requirement, c) that people are not prohibited from working on/creating other valid but non-core articles, and d) that deletion of valid but non-core articles stops. If it is truly non-notable (not just "non-notable for SEWikipedia", because that is just another way of saying "non-core"), or almost any other reason except "non-core", deletion of articles is a valid and important process (which should generally be democratic as a reflection of consensus). As an expression of good faith, I volunteer to write the article on what a core article is, and I will include a statement of encouragement as above. I will also make a page on project direction where we can talk about all of this. How does that sound? Let's work out a compromise if at all possible. --Cromwellt|talk 16:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Sounds great, make it Wikipedia talk:Project direction. I agree with all of that. Archer7 16:39, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
          • I'd prefer if we just make the discussion on Wikipedia:Simple talk for now. Create a new topic section. -- Netoholic @ 17:57, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. There are several of our TV series articles that are less notable than Raymond, but I don't think we want to spend the time to deliberate the various merits of articles within the set. In principle, it probably would have been better if none of them had been created, but the project seems more focused now, so as a practical matter I don't want us bogged down in mitigating past problems. I also think there are video/computer games we have that are even less notable than any of the TV series; then there's the pop-singer-du-jours, etc. If we do want such holistic discussions, I'd start lower.

As far as I know, unregistered users can comment and can nominate pages for deletion, but cannot vote (or their votes are not counted). Nominations by unregistered users are not counted as votes (and should not be considered when deciding consensus). --Cromwellt|talk 22:12, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. Neutral, per comments by Archer7. An explanation of a nomination is usually a good thing and increases the chances that the article will actually be deleted. I don't see the current harm (it is valuable information, even if it isn't a core article), and I see future usefulness. It is actually copied from List of modern weapons by type, rather than where it links. There are minor differences, but that could be because of an update to the English page or minor simplification. Either way, the article/list could still use some simplification/explanation, but that's not a reason for a delete, it's a reason for simplification. --Cromwellt|talk 21:11, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Requests for undeletion

Created by User:Foursrtings, but I can't understand a word of it. I've asked the user to please summarise what he would like us to do for him, but his message claims that he had his head crushed in a plane crash and now only sleeps once every 4-5 days, so I do hold some suspicion that it may be rubbish... _Archer7 | ^talk 12:24, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Rachel Sutherland - deleted by me, User:Archer7.

Non-notable, other than having notable relatives--IMDb has just three minor credits, and almost all google hits are for family members where she is mentioned as an aside. Notability is not inherited--I'm a descendant of the Pulitzer and Newbery prize-winning author en:Esther Forbes, but that doesn't mean I am notable. Freshstart 21:16, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete. Good point, non-notable Freshstart. :D Just kidding. Whether or not you're notable enough for an article here, you're a notable user and admin, Freshstart! --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 19:51, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Lucas Prata - deleted by me, User:Archer7.

From Freshstart's comment, he argues "has only released one album/isn't on EN and goodness knows if a singer isn't even notable enuf for EN...." -- Ricky81682 (talk) 08:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Delete. While we don't have to eliminate everything that English Wikipedia eliminates, the notability of this person is very limited. Might be worth bringing back if he became very popular, released another album, was mentioned by someone famous, etc., etc. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 20:12, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I found this page in English wikipedia: Lucas Prata. They deleted this page at least 5 times. I think we may also delete this page. --Bhadani 16:49, 23 June 2006 (UTC)

Elonka Dunin -- Kept. _Archer7 | ^talk

This is a vanity page, written by the subject of the page. --Cromwellt|talk 03:54, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

• Delete I concer [(unsigned from User:Zginder) Freshstart 17:10, 30 April 2006 (UTC)]
• Keep, as she is a notable "American game developer, writer, and amateur cryptographer who is an expert on the Kryptos sculpture/cipher at the CIA's headquarters." See her English Wikipedia article , which seems to be more detailed than the Simple article--TBCΦtalk? 02:28, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
• Reluctant Keep. I had a similar 'ugh' reaction when it was created, as I am strongly opposed to people creating articles about themselves. However, that position was rejected on EN. Since I also consider an author with books available thru standard retail channels FAR more encyclopedic than minor fictional characters¹ and random, non-groundbreaking, computer games² (and don't get me started on articles with more text in the external links section than the article), to stay true to my principles I have to say Keep.

• Keep. Archer7 19:22, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment. We don't have to accept an article just because English Wikipedia does. While she may be more notable than other articles we've kept, a self-promoting vanity article is still a self-promoting vanity article. If it does get deleted (we seem to be somewhat divided on this at the moment), and someone else rewrites the article (not she herself), I will not try to delete it again. But when it is written by the subject, that's vanity, period. See: vanity. Even important Wikipedians have had their articles deleted because they wrote it themselves. --Cromwellt|talk 04:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Useless Comment. Angela couldn't get her article deleted when she tried, apparently. I'd still keep this one though. _Archer7 | ^talk 15:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

• Keep (by subject). For what it's worth, I generally agree with the Wikipedia guidelines on vanity pages and autobiographical edits. I've written dozens of articles and accomplished thousands of Wikipedia edits, and I've reverted plenty of vandalism and pounced on plenty of bonafide vanity pages. In this case though, my intent was not to have a vanity page, but to translate a page that already existed on the English wikipedia. I have helped out with other "Simple English" pages, at least one of which linked to an "Elonka Dunin" page, so I created a minimal stub page here in as neutral a manner as I could manage. If anyone feels the information is not neutral, then by all means, feel free to change it, or challenge anything you want on the talk page, and I'll back up anything there. For further data on whether or not I'm "notable", I have plenty of references at my personal site, you're welcome to check them yourselves:. --Elonka 07:00, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
• Weak keep. ...Aurora... 08:43, 24 May 2006 (UTC)
• Comment: So far it looks like this will be a keep. I would like to mention that I have nothing against User:Elonka except that she wrote the page about herself. Nothing personal. If the had asked me on my talk page to write a page for her (particularly if she mentioned that she had a page on English Wikipedia which was kept after a delete nomination), I probably would have done it, and I wouldn't have nominated it for deletion if someone else had done it, either. I'd also like to thank her for being willing to talk about it, provide references, and not take the delete nomination personally. Oh, and if the page stays, I won't be upset. --Cromwellt|talk|contris 03:17, 28 May 2006 (UTC)
