== Hugo ==
They do occasionally give Hugos to TV shows. I specifically put that in as an example for some wiggle room ... if an episode receives a major science fiction or other outside award, it's still notable, even if the award didn't come from an award organization that focuses on TV.] 12:13, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:Since I think we shouldn't clutter up the arbcom discussion further, would you consider ] to be assertion of notability? What distinction are we making between Award nominations and Award wins? While I still don't think CSD is the right option I think a better definition of what episode notability ''is'' would be beneficial. ]]] 12:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
::Probably is better off here, unless it pisses Jack off. Certainly an Annie would count. I would like to get a phrasing that recognizes that awards are awards ... if the NAACP gives a show an award for highlighting a social issue, or similar things, it's a notable episode. There are probably some anime specific awards from Japan that would count. But, if the "Wikipedians that Like South Park" give an award for "most cute lines by Butters in a single episode", that doesn't count. I think it has to be a CSD category. If not, the effort involved in killing the article rises too high again. But, because it's a CSD category, it has to cut a little high, so I think a nomination is sufficient. ] 13:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:::(Jack, if this is a problem feel free to move it to my talk page) My concern with CSD is that they should be the most basic of the basic to delete, almost no thought required to know that the content is not suitable for an encyclopedia. I think we'd have trouble pushing this into a CSD category because it's too narrow a range and too subject to interpretation. I also suspect it could easily backlog CSD and divert resources away from deleting the really bad stuff like copy-vios and attack pages. I just don't see it working so I think we may be better off thinking of another idea. A centralized discussion area for controversial merges/redirects seems like the best idea to me, it has the added benefit of being used for other areas of the encyclopedia that may also have trouble with local consensus being against merge/redirect. I think 7 day discussions similar to AfD (much shorter than the current discussions) where a large number of articles could be discussed all at once would be sufficient to deal with the problem. I also think that once we get rid of most of the current poorly thought out articles new editors won't get the idea that there ''needs'' to be an article on every episode of their favorite show just because there's an article about every episode of show X and the creation rate will go down. Of course I'm an optimist. Also, I fully agree with your views on awards, spot on. ]]] 14:25, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
::::I don't think it is a fuzzy CSD at all: "Article summarizes an episode, and does not assert that the episode is a premiere, a finale, or was nominated for an award" is a fine CSD category. Whether the award is a legitimate award may have to be pushed off to AFD or some discussion project, but if the article doesn't even make the claim, there is no reason to let it get past CSD.] 14:34, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::Then what about articles like ] which establishes notability through the conventional method of significant coverage in secondary sources rather than by virtue of being a premiere, finale or award winner? It falls into none of those three categories but is currently a GA. Admittedly I'm biased on that article but I think it is still a good example of my point. Current CSD criteria only allow deletion of articles with no claim of notabiility, even a false claim or an insufficient claim eliminates it from {{tl|db-nn}}, I think many people will balk at making stronger requirements for a distinct subset of articles. In my mind I just can't imagine a version that would be both effective and acceptable to the community at large (feel freee to prove me wrong though). I think many of the policy ideas at the arbcom discussion that fall outside of what they are likely to rule about (CSD, Merge for discussion, applications of policy) need to be brought to a wider comunity discussion without the stigma of "so-and-so deleted my favorite TV show" that has been present at previous discussions. Perhaps all of that should wait until ArbCom has ruled though. ]]] 15:14, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::A nicely written article, very suitable for another wiki project. I see no reason for it to have a Misplaced Pages article for that episode(which, by the way, I greatly enjoyed, because I really like Futurama). It's possible to write a very good article for something that shouldn't have an article at all.] 16:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on that point then. I don't see any reason why an article on a TV episode fundamentally shouldn't exist if it is possible to establish notability and cover it encyclopedically. Don't get me wrong, I'm still all for removing articles that are nothing but plot summary but I think there is a place in Misplaced Pages for some articles that may not have been premieres, finales or award winners (I'm not a Simpsons fan really but this statement would also apply to ] and ], two FAs) and that in the grand scheme of things their notability to the real world is more significant than what order they aired in, premieres and finales just happen to get more press. Anyway, I don't really want to get into that now, my theory is to find a way to deal with the articles which obviously shouldn't exist first and then move onto the tougher decisions, I'd put those in the second category. ]]] 16:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
::::::We had an edit conflict. Amplifying a bit on this point. The article, and its sourcing are weak. References 1, 3, and 4 are from DVD commentary. This is a compensated source, so it doesn't meet ]. Even if they did, the statements supported are that the audio was recorded late, the Beastie Boys didn't perform a song, and that the producers liked the writers. Not very important statements, and certainly not establishing any importance for the topic. References 10 supports the concept that the producer liked the episode. References 11, 12, 13 and 14 are used solely to support that fact that the episode came out on DVD. Most of the rest are used to document "cultural references", which is "excessive plot summary" in cunning disguise. This really shouldn't be a GA ... it shows how an article can be written to look impressive, but not really be impressive. I've looked over ] before, and came to a similar conclusion.] 17:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
:::::::I'd rather not get into the details of the sourcing here, though I'd welcome a discussion of them at the current peer review or on the article's talk page. I'm more interested here in the general idea for all episodes and was using that as a convenient example. I'm still not convinced this will ever fly as a CSD criteria or that articles with at least that much sourcing are inherently non-notable but as I said, I think we can agree to disagree on that point since I doubt either of us would be easily convinced. ]]] 18:27, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
I'm fine with this being talked about here. I will leave this unarchived for the duration of the case. I feel that winning a major award is a sure-fire establishment of notability. If it's just a nomination and/or the award is not-so-major, things get less clear-cut. I also see the limitations of a CSD criteria for episodes — things have to be be clear to the admin processing the CSD request. In all probability, this is something that can only handle a portion of the episode (and character) articles that, reasonable, should go away. For such articles that are farther 'along' but still don't really cut ti, there's redirection with the possibility of trans-wiki-ing out-here.


You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your ] or on ].
One thing I want to state quite clearly is that I feel that the burden of trans-wiki-ing stuff needs to fall on those editors who wish to get involved with whatever external site. I have no interest. This is another reason to redirect instead of delete; ].


Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{Tlc|proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the ], but other ]es exist. In particular, the ] process can result in deletion without discussion, and ] allows discussion to reach ] for deletion.<!-- Template:Proposed deletion notify --> '''<span style="font-family: Arial">] ]</span>''' 11:37, 22 February 2019 (UTC)

Noticed that you never got an answer as to how the Japanese Misplaced Pages deals with it. It has one article on the complete series ...

The process described there has been rejected. The ideals behind it haven't been, but the actual process whereby articles would be reviewed has been. A discussin can be revisted, but as of now it has been rejected. '''] ]''' 20:55, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up on that very thoughtful close - the kind we need to see more of and the importance of having clear policy instead of the accumulated cruft that coalesces behind ILIKEIT. I am happy the arbcom case concluded as it has - effectively a vindication of our efforts as I see it. Meanwhile, Happy Holidays to you! ] (]) 21:48, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

== Ye Art Cordially Invited to the Annex ==
Hello, My good Fellow, listen and I shalt telleth Ye a Tale of a Wiki that well comes All Manner of Articles relating to Fiction. What is This wonderful Place of Fantasy, You ask? It is the <span class="plainlinks"></span>, Haven to All fiction-related Refugee Articles from Misplaced Pages.

Before nominating or proposing a fiction-related Article for Deletion, It is My sincerest Hope that Ye import It to the Annex. Why do This, You wonder? Individuals have dedicated an enormous Amount of Time to writing These Articles, and ’twould be a Pity for the Information to Vanish unto the Oblivion where only Administrators could see Them.

Here is a Step-by-Step Process of how to Bringeth Articles into the Annex:
#Ye shall need at least three Browser Tabs or Windows open. For the first Tab or Window, go to ]. For the second, go <span class="plainlinks"></span>. (If Ye have not an Account at Wikia, then create One.) Do whatever Ye want for the third.
#Next, open the Program known as ]. If Ye haveth It not, then open ]. Go to “Save as,” and for “Encoding,” select either “Unicode” or “UTF-8.” For “Save as type,” select “All Files.” For “File name,” input “<code>export.xml</code>” and save It. Leave the Window open.
#Next, go to the ] Window at Misplaced Pages, and un-check the two small Boxes near the “Export” Button. Input the Name of the Misplaced Pages Article which Ye wish to import to the Annex into the large Field, and click “Export.”
#Right-click on the Page full of Code which appears, and clicketh on “View Source” or “View Page Source” or any Option with similar Wording. A new Notepad Window called “index” or Something similar should appear. Press Ctrl+A to highlight All the Text then Ctrl+C to copy It. Close yon “index” Window, and go to the Notepad “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+V to pasteth the Text There, and then save It by pressing Ctrl+S.
#Now go to the <span class="plainlinks"></span> Window over at the Annex. Clicketh on “Browse…” and select the “export.xml” File. At last, click on “Upload file,” and Thou art done, My Friend! However, if It says 100 Revisions be imported, Ye be not quite finished just yet. Go back to Misplaced Pages’s ], and leave only the “Include only the current revision, not the full history” Box checked. Export That, copy the Page Source, close the “index” Window, and go to the “export.xml” Window. Press Ctrl+A to highlight the Code all ready There, press “backspace” to erase It, and press Ctrl+V to pasteth the new Code There. Press Ctrl+S to save It, then upload once more to the Annex. Paste <code><nowiki>{{Misplaced Pages|{{PAGENAME}}}}</nowiki></code> at the Bottom of the imported Article at the Annex, and Ye art now finally done! Keepeth the “export.xml” File for future Use.

Thank Ye for using the Annex, My Friend — ] 05:27, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

: ] is a for-profit site for ] ] and I do not care to support commercial enterprises in which I have no stake. If you care to drink that ], fine. I, however, view the onus for rescuing such ] as being on those who consider such content to actually have any value. Regards, ] 07:55, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

::: Absurd. It is editors who have 'created' unencyclopaedic content here who are trying to harness others to the task of off-loading their shite to fan-sites. FYI, I believe I have only once nominated an article for deletion (not deleted, not fiction-related). Ditto, {{tl|Prod}}. --] 08:29, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

It would have helped if your first revert had been accompanied by a more detailed edit summary, I wouldnt have reverted back to the close. Also I had noticed a lot the reverts and I would have stepped in sooner. ]] 15:21, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Re your comment on that page. How do you get around the fact that many if not most PhDs are either self-published or remain unpublished but in National Libraries for consultation.

Proposed deletion of Mobile payments in Indonesia

Notice

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.
