| ::: On the Farscape episodes, I expect that sources do exist. One was given and others may well exist on BBC. On the Oh My Goddess pages, I don't believe that sources exist - I looked, and found fan sites. My primary concern is that the "defending" editors are flaunting guidelines. They appear to have little interest in actually adding sources and moving the articles away from the plot summary and trivia format. If I close these now, I expect I'll get an edit war in spite of the actual arguments made in the discussions and the applicable guidelines. I looked at the list on your user page and find the prospect of tackling the Drew Carey ones daunting - there are no summaries on the list and it's not even in template format.

| ::::Like with a lot of other shows (Futurama, Scrubs), I assume that it probably has a decent chunk that can actually make it, but its worthless to think about with the "all or nothing" and "I'm just going to defend these, just cuz" mentalities going. The best thing to do in that situation is to redirect and build up from scratch. With the Drew Carey Show in that kind of state, its probably better to just either redirect them, and leave it for someone interested, or just do that, but work on it every once and a while. There's no need to have it feel like a large load. ] 16:38, 12 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| As I've said many times, it gets notablity by being the first ever episode of a very popular British sitcom. But, frankly I can't be bothered to argue. It is a great, great shame that instead of contributing to Misplaced Pages and building and improving articles, you go round destroying other people's work, because of a blantant POV attitude towards television. To be honest, Misplaced Pages would be better without people like you, because then we could build and improve articles not get rid of them because you don't like them. It's a shame, but as I said I can't be bothered to argue, I want to improve Misplaced Pages. --] 13:52, 16 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : You should read a few policies and guidelines. ] is not automatically notable because is is the first episode of ]. As to my POV, I don't believe that an encyclopaedia should include non-notable, unverified articles. Many editors don't believe this and my suggestion to them is to go find a fan site — this isn't one. --] 13:58, 16 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| :: It is your POV that is not-notable, as with unverified, that is no reason to delete/redirect on that grounds. Frankly, what harm to they do - none whatsoever. The harm is caused by the disruption caused by the editors wishing to destroy the hard and well-meaning work of others. Anyway, I said I wouldn't waste my time (or indeed yours) by arguing, we shall agree to disagree.--] 18:39, 16 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| ::: 100% behind Jack Merridew on this one, Cat. The facts and the facts alone have caused the chain of events which have now come to their logical end. Those articles were nothing more than fansite material and contained next to nothing worthy of inclusion in an encyclopedia. They'd been like that for 18 months. Aside from being mildly pathetic, reams and reams of plot summery is not what Wiki is for, and their loss is helping Wiki get more and more like a proper encyclopdia and less like a manga fans site.] 16:01, 17 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

Love, ] - 18:44, 20 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| : Thanks, a very eloquent closing statement. I have been reluctant to take the AfD route because it is near-final. Articles that are redirected as not notable and/or mere plot summary can always be resurrected by anyone should sources be found. I believe the Farscape episodes fall into this category. i.e. they have a strong chance of being able to grow into encyclopaedic articles if only someone cares enough to do the work. For most shows, however, I believe there is little reason to believe that the sources exist to do much beyond a rehash of the plot. The down-side of the redirect approach is that it is open to abuse.

| : The individual episode articles were redirected after a discussion where most editors commenting believed that the articles failed to establish their notability and comprised little more than in-universe plot summary. Please see ] and the guidelines that it is derived from. I was unaware of the featured list criteria you're referring to, but feel that as the articles ''are'' non-notable and mere plot summary that the redirects were appropriate. There was only one editor vocally advocating the retention of the articles who did not edit the articles at all to attempt to add new sources. If this results in the list losing the FL star, it is merely an artifact of the state of the articles before the redirection. Please see ] where I've already ask for an opinion on this whole matter. Also, I'll be traveling for most of this week — I'll check on this when I can. --] 13:14, 23 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::Jack, dear, I've looked into the issue briefly, and read the discussion at the talk page (albeit it's so incredibly long, that I might I have missed big part of it). I must tell you I'm a little worried about the measures that have been taken lately, because I'm not 100% sure there's consensus enough for this; but as I said, I might be mistaking. Seeing that here's quiet a large number of participants at the debate, maybe it'd be better to make a clear proposal on the measures to be taken before redirecting. My 2 cents of course, but reading the discussion, I fear this might lead to further reversions and sterss. If I'm wrong about the arguments and any decissions agreed upon, please feel free to point me to any specific sections I could have missed; I'll re-read it thoroughly later today. Have a beautiful week! Love, ] - 09:14, 24 September 2007 (UTC) | |||
| ::: Thanks. The discussion there seemed to be going nowhere but in circles, and the individual articles were not being edited to address the notability issue. Have a look at a few and see if you think they establish their notability and amount to anything more than fanish plot summary. See: (random picks, but check some others). Nothing seems to be happening on ] and I think I'll leave it alone for now. I have little time for this now. | |||

| Jack and Phaedriel, I posted this note originally ], but the point may be relevant: <p>''Per the consensus policy, When consensus is referred to in Misplaced Pages discussion, it always means 'within the framework of established policy and practice'. Even a majority of a limited group of editors will almost never outweigh community consensus on a wider scale, as documented within policies.<p> | |||
| ''Thus, if editors disagree with the principles being adduced for establishing fictional character notability, this is not the place to raise those issues. Instead, I urge interested editors to make their point at the WP:FICT and WP:WAF guideline. The merge and redirect is a matter of applying community wide consensus to this particular series. If you disagree, you need to change that community wide consensus, not simply indicate your opposition here, since - and this is the point that some editors are apparently unaware of - the consensus to redirect already exists per that community-wide guideline.'' ] 11:42, 25 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

| Hi Jack, can you check the conley page?

| ::No problem. The troll was back pretending to be a newbie and vandalising our pages. Idiot. Thanks for posting the AfD, although I doubt it can succeed; many conflate band notability to that of members, albums, etc.... Essentially, much the same issue we are dealing with in the Fict debates where fandrool impedes reason and why the RD is an important compromise since it allows for someone to return to the issue in instances where WP:N criteria can be reasonably adduced as could fairly be consiered the case with CC. Worse in this instance, Alan Sohn (see above) now has this on his watchlist; he has a long, long history of combining fanatical tenacity, extreme self-righteousness and a seasoned ability to game the system, garnished with obnoxiousness and wikilawyering (see his comment in the AfD). He is incredibly tedious (but luckily only concerns himself with crap from New Jersey); guaranteed, any further intervention on our part in this article to assert ] or fight the ] will be met with his ignorant crusading. So I suggest we are on better ground with other ventures - speaking of which, there are a slew of pages that are soon prime to be redirected since I note that no-one has actually bothered to make ANY effort to improve the articles we listed. ] 23:27, 30 September 2007 (UTC) | |||

Proposed deletion of Mobile payments in Indonesia
The article Mobile payments in Indonesia has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This isn't even about mobile payments in Indonesia, it's about a particular vendor of credit for mobile phones and the services they offer. Said vendor fails corporate notability guidelines due to insufficient depth of coverage in independent, reliable sources. Its products fail the product notability guidelines and the general notability guideline on the same basis.
While all constructive contributions to Misplaced Pages are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
