This website was deleted for good reasons but since then its notability has increased severely. |

It was mentioned in the following articles: |

*'''Keep deleted'''. The cited sources are: blog, blog, fansite, trivial passing mention, trivial passing mention. This is a 1,000-article Wiki of no obvious importance, encyclopaedic content amounts to "there is a Wiki", which can easily be included in a single sentence in ]. Remember, this is an encyclopaedia, we need more than proof of the site's existence (which was never nin doubt in the first place). AfD result valid per process and per policy. The "some cruft exists, therefore this cruft must exist" argument has never been persuasive; Peephole should feel free to nominate those other sites if they are of even less imporance. ] 08:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Relist''' The activity the talk page already gets at Misplaced Pages is very telling. Every week more journalists and bloggers cite it as a LOST authority. Every week a new Wikipedian requests a deletion review. Every week more and more data demonstrates the importance of this site.

*'''Endorse deletion''': The cited sources are not peer reviewed or edited, so verification hasn't been established. An "external link" at the popular article is still all that's needed. ] 11:43, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

:*That's interesting, since any time Lostpedia gets added to that article as an external link, it immediately gets deleted. I guess the wikipedia isn't big enough for any mention of Lostpedia?? --] 17:06, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

::*Well that's not much of an endorsement for inclusion if even the folks at Lost don't want the link in their article. Fwiw, I quickly browsed the talk page and haven't even seen discussion about it. ~ ] 17:16, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

:*I don't know what to tell you, except that that is that and this is this. I should imagine, if it's a valid and useful wiki on the show, it ''should'' go there, but I haven't been to the wiki in question, while, presumably, the folks on that article have. All I know is that, as an adjunct to discussion of ''Lost,'' it should be an external link rather than an article, unless the website passes WP:WEB. It doesn't, so.... ] 19:38, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

The article was deleted, after a lot of votes on both sides - but the deletion was done based on reasoning that was barely touched on in the AfD, and acknowledged as such. Namely, the article was deleted based on a justification from Misplaced Pages:Verifiability, Misplaced Pages:No original research, and Misplaced Pages:Reliable sources, while almost all the discussion revolved around whether the article crossed the poorly characterized dividing line to an unencyclopedic "game guide" under ]. There was a very good reason the article centered on the latter issue rather than the former: because it was pointed out very early in the AfD that the matters of verifiability and references are matters of quality, that are supposed to be solved by '''IMPROVING''' the article, not deleting it. I for one consciously avoided putting any effort into improving the article's references (though offering an illustrative example of one), to avoid having wasted time if it turned out the article was deleted under what everyone else seemed to understand were the issued under discussion. If the real issue was references, I could easily have edited the article to satisfy the issue in full resolution of the AfD. As it was, I think the rationale for deletion was out of synch with the meat of the AfD and based on an issue that had been explicitly removed from the debate. A high-quality, well-referenced rewrite comparable to ] could easily be written, and would serve better than the deletion at satisfying the rationale on which the deletion was based. - ] <small><font color="green">(]/]/])</font></small> 23:27, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

|
*'''Relist.''' While I agree with the decision and the reasoning, I also feel it was out of process for the closing admin to close it based on his own personal opinion rather than the opinions expressed in the AfD discussion. -- ] <sup>]</sup> 23:47, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*I endorse the deletion but a properly referenced recreation should not be deleted under G4. I'd even support undeleting the article and moving it into userspace if you want to work on referencing it. ] 23:49, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Relist''' I agree with the outcome, but only because this article was redundant, not because of the other stated reasons. However, the closing admin rejected the main arguments put forth, then deleted because it was unreferenced, which was barely discussed and normally is cause for clean-up rather than deletion anyway. ] 23:52, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
:*Actually, verifiability and original research were listed as reasons for the nom. The fact that those who wanted to keep it didn't refute/discuss this, is their fault, not that of the closing admin or those who voted delete for the nominator's reasoning. Personally, I endorse the deletion. ] 00:02, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Reply''' from the guy whose username is based on a Starcraft unit - Thanks - I was actually planning on doing a rewrite on my userspace to present for consideration - once I have the time! As it is I have to get back off to work - I'll post a link to a proposed rewrite hopefully sometime soon. As for redundancy, I think there is significant potential content giving an overview comparing and contrasting the units and structures, that would not be appropriate for any individual unit's page. - ] <small><font color="green">(]/]/])</font></small> 23:54, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

:*'''Reply''' I agree it couldn't go on the individual unit pages (which I think are questionable anyway), but this information is on the race pages. ] 01:23, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Endorse decision, keep deleted''' without prejudice against recreation as an ''encyclopedic'' article. ] and ] can perfectly be invoked by the closing admin without ever being mentioned in the discussion. In this case it was even brought up in the nomination and after that astutely ignored (other than Reaverdrop's link to the company website) in favor of the ] game guide discussion. I don't have much doubt that sources exist for most of the material in the article, I just find it astounding how little a concern the issue of verifiability was for all involved, including the keep voters. The problem is less that the article cannot be encyclopedic in its ideal state, it is that it was wholly unencyclopedic in the state it was discussed, and seemingly to none of the keepers' concern. The article was from the ground up written as a game guide: "''As such, each unit does not quite match up easily with another race’s. For example, it used to be that a Footman and a Grunt each have equal hit points, in StarCraft, a Protoss Zealot has higher hit points than a Zergling but the Zergling can attack faster to balance this out.''" This is not how we write encyclopedias. There are two possible solutions to the current situation: 1. Move the content to a location where it is accepted as is, or 2. Start from scratch, writing it ''as an encyclopedia article''. Keeping an article with a tenuous grasp on includability in the first place and remote chances of ever becoming an encyclopedic article makes Misplaced Pages worse. ~ ] 00:00, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*I appreciate the notification. I've re-examined my close, and I failed to explicitly state ''"There is consensus to delete."'' Sloppy of me, since there was. That the majority of adminstrators' closes simply say "delete" does not escape me, so odd that I'm being chastised for greater disclosure rather than less. That this descended into an abstruse debate on what exactly is "cruft" is unfortunate, as it served only to distract from the "meat." One man's trivia is another man's precious jewel, and neither one not the other is likely to be convinced he's wrong. I do state explicitly not to disparage the effort put in simply because one doesn't ''like'' it, and I stick by that statement. - ]<span class="plainlinks"> </span> 00:39, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Endorse closure and deletion''', Aaron even relisted it for a further gathering of a consensus decision. This looks like process wonking, to be honest. If something encyclopedic can be made of it, userfy it for Reaverdrop to try again. -- ] <i><sub>]</sub></i> 01:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Endorse deletion'''. To me this doesn't look like brenneman espousing a brand new opinion, but rather expanding on why ] by citing other supporting policies. Of course this is a matter of semantics. (])<sup>(])</sup> 03:14, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Temporary undelete for transwiki''' - Disclaimer: I supported the original AfD. I believe brenneman's comments when closing the AfD were appropriate, and admit that his group admonishment about the scope of the discussion made me realize where things may have gone astray from the root cause, my own comments included. But, in re-examining the discussion, I know that I did not then, nor do I now, give a whit about basing the decision to delete off of ], ], or ]. If that means this article is restored for having been deleted "out of process" per ], I can accept that. -- ] | ] 06:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

:*'''Comment''' This issue is larger than one article's fate, it is about if ] and ] are valid support for an AfD. I feel that lack of a ] resolution, while generating good discussion, is becoming ], which is clearly not. If wikipedia is a place where even policies can change over time, then let us go there and discuss it. Still being new, I admit I know I do not know where "there" is located. And from looking at the AfDs, there are many editors who would be able to contribute to that discussion. -- ] | ] 06:27, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Comment'''. Gameguidecruft often creeps into articles involving a lot of articles regarding CVG (not referring to this particular delete). How do we prevent this (and thereby preventing a lot of this AfD mess)? The easy answer is "don't make articles like these, period", but that's a bias I think against CVG versus other forms of pop culture. I mean most of the articles on Final Fantasy and Warcraft seem to be able to avoid this (by focusing on lore more than the games). --] 18:26, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
:*'''Comment''' good point, ColourBurst. I know that I would suppport an overall article about the phenomenon/world/family/genre of StarCraft or any other CVG. At least for me, it is about where is the line between that and alleged StarCruft. My ideal would be to have redirects for specific terms, ie zergling, protoss, to the main encyclopedic article(s) of a CVG, which, in turn, would have links to detailed articles on other wikis. This would allow for zergling lookups on WP, something mentioned often in these AfDs, but not lose any content, as it would still exist in the wikiworld. -- ] | ] 18:55, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

This is a case of a deletionist admin who ignored the "no consensus" deletion vote and deleted the article anyway. This article should be kept - it is very informative.--] |

*'''Endorse deletion''', only one keep from a historied user. Would support '''relist''', thoguh, since few opinions on either side, but the arguments for delete are entirely compelling: the definition of cliché is almost entirely subjective in this article.

*'''Endorse deletion''', not closing argument. The result of the debate was '''fuzzy''', but is within admin discretion. There's two Keeps btw, one by ] which is wholly puzzling. ~ ] 00:12, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Relist''' There weren't alot of historied users that weighed in. I would have said keep, myself (assuming verifiability could be demonstrated). ] 01:25, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Endorse deletion''': The process was applied appropriately. If propponents of the article wouldn't spawn red user names and come vote without reference to policy or procedure, the debate could be held again, but I have little confidence of that. Further, I have no confidence that there is a way to ''verify'' these cliches by genre. There are, indeed, compilations of film cliches (e.g. Roger Ebert's Film Guides have a section in them...e.g. the bartender is always polishing a glass with a dirty rag), but reiteration of things like that doesn't really serve an encyclopedic function. So, endorse on procedural grounds, on likely zero sum of a relist, and on content grounds. ] 02:28, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

:I was the one speedying it, and admit that I didn't think very long and hard over it. I think deleting it was the obvious thing to do. It read like a really silly dab-page to me. I don't consider phrases comming out of GNAA to be worthy of inclusion anywhere, to be honest, and I'm wondering in how many ways it's possible to phrase that conspiracy theory and whether people really think we should have even redirects for them all. ] 14:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Keep deleted''' as an implausible redirect masquerading as a disambig page. I don't like out of process deletions, however, if we grant that implausible redirects can be speedied (R3), why not disambig pages that contain nothing but the same? It is unfortunate that WP has not seen fit to remove the GNAA article and it most certainly does not need to be dignified by adding pages like this. Nobody is going to type in this term looking for either the GNAA or an article about nutty conspiracy theories. Thus, keep deleted R3. ] 17:23, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

**There are several matters at issue here. One is whether the deletion was out of process. A second is whether Joel Leyden is notable enough to merit an article.

I will leave it up to others to decide the first point, and I'm frankly fed up with discussing the third. Therefore I will limit my comments to the question of whether Joel Leyden is notable enough to merit an article. I am willing to believe that Joel Leyden has on occasion communicated with Ehud Olmert, perhaps on said occasion he even gave him some advice.

REVIEW of '''LIST OF FAMOUS STRIKEBREAKERS''' |
|
|
Forgive me my NOOBiness.... I feel I have a valid piont about Facts and Truth getting lost in political heatedness and trying to find a way to seperate them....... |
|
|
|
|
|
I was browsing through the Misplaced Pages recently and came accross an amazing page. It was a list of professional atheletes/actors who had crossed union picket lines during player strikes. A couple of times, I attempted to cross reference the list to the pages of the individual players and add a comment on the player page that they did, in FACT, cross a picket line during a strike. |
|
|
|
|
|
Not only were my edits purged by Kukini, but the page listing the picket line crossers was also removed. I have subsequently done a Google search in an attempt to find a list of names, to no avail. Misplaced Pages was the ONLY readily avialable source for this information. This is information that is very interesting/important to me, as it's all I've been talking about since I discovered it's existence. |
|
|
|
|
|
The information was removed on the grounds that it was a Pillory. Seemingly the word "scab" sets hearts aflutter when used in reference to people who cross union picket lines. |
|
|
|
|
|
This is a valid point for the possible removal of the word "scab", EDITing the information, or disclaiming the entries. This is most definately NOT a valid point for REMOVING the information from Misplaced Pages. |
|
|
|
|
|
I submit, that while a comprehensive list of all people who have crossed the lines in any strike (Believe me, every one of them is on a list somewhere) is excessive, the Wikipublic is entitled to have this information in regards to famous personages. |
|
|
|
|
|
I am campaigning for a return of the list of professional atheletes/actors/famous people who have crossed union picket lines. Further, I would like to see the information cross-referenced to the individual pages of the said persons. |
|
|
|
|
|
This information on the lives of the famous personages in question that is not only undisputed, irrefutable, FACT; but easily as important as the number of passes they attempted in their career. To omit this information is nothing short of sugar-coating the lives of sports heroes because their actions might be percieved by some as unsavory. Keep in mind that when you search Kobe Bryant, there is a paragraph on the Allegations of Sexual Misconduct which includes a link to a seperate page detailing the Allegations. If we can read about the Allegations concerning Kobe, why are the FACTS about the lives of NFL/MLB/SAG members who chose to cross picket lines being deleted? |
|
|
|
|
|
I understand that this is a sensitive topic to some, but surely the FACTS can be presented as such. A simple list titled "players who crossed the picket lines during the 1987 NFL(MLB/SAG) players stike" would be wonderful and serve the Misplaced Pages community high standard for TRUTH without being a pillory. |
|
|
|
|
|
If you support the deletion of this list, I submit that you also support the deletion of the five page Misplaced Pages entry :'''List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people''' for the same reasons. <small>—The preceding ] comment was added by ] (] • ]) 05:17, July 19, 2006 (UTC{{{3|}}})</small> |
|
|
**In the spirit of ], I recommend you stick around for a while, get used to the process (for instance, signing your comments with <nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>), the jargon and the ] of Misplaced Pages before you decide to create such a sensitive article. I take you at your word that you didn't mean this to be an attack article, but we can only judge from the position of how a likely reader would see it. I don't necessarily think an article like that should never be created, but it requires a certain experience with the mechanism not to set off the trip wires at ] over a topic like this. Oh, and re List of GLB, all articles stand or fall on their own merit. ~ ] 02:40, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

::After reviewing the article, I found that it wasn't NPOV, and only mentioned the word "scab" once. However, after reviewing the AfD discussion, most of those seeking deletion cited it being crufty, only a few claimed it was NPOV. And regardless, there was clear consensus in the AfD discussion to delete -- I agree with Sam Blanning below that pile-on claims are irrelevant. Policy was clearly followed, and my endorsement stands. -- ] <sup>]</sup> 09:04, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Relist''' - the AFD got to pile-on delete status before an opposing view was given. I suggest relisting it to make sure that the correct decision is made. Honestly, from looking at the google cache version , I don't see the great rush to delete. It's a list that makes sense with the ] article. It isn't listing random words or other useless garbage. It isn't suitable for just a category. I'd say relist to make sure that the right decision was made. ] 06:12, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Relist''' - pile-on delete status by people trigger happy and more concerned with deleting the aticle than making it NPOV. --] 06:58, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |
|
|
*'''Endorse deletion''' - valid AfD, validly closed, and the claims of a 'pile-on' don't have any basis in reality. If the AfD saw lots of delete arguments, and then a well-reasoned keep argument, which was followed by lots of keep arguments and no counter-arguments, that would be evidence of an initial pile-on and the closing admin would be entitled to close as keep or no consensus, given the change in direction. However, in this AfD there was a consistent consensus for deletion all the way through. Every single keep argument was followed by more editors arguing for deletion, indicating that none of the reasons given for keeping were persuasive. Nothing to review here. --]<sup>]</sup> 08:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Delete'''. I see no need to automaticaly treat as evil everyone who has ignored an attempt by a disruptive minority to cause an unnecessary strike for its own sake. Britain where I live has lost much of its industry partly because strikes ad infinitum have priced British products out of the market. I have lived through it and seen it happen. ] 06:42, 20 July 2006 (UTC) |

The article was originally a stub, and was deleted for lack of information. I recreated it with new information and a goal to expand the article, and it was listed for speedy deletion as a repost of an old article, which it wasn't. I tried to debate the deletion at ] and on the article's talk page, and tried to argue that I had and would continue to add new information, but it was promptly deleted anyway. I would like a chance to explain that this article is not what was originally deleted: it has been and will continue to be expanded, and I would like to be able to argue my case without the discussion being deleted. |

:Question: How are you going to discuss any of this without infringing copyright? Their list is their intellectual property, and reiterating it is a copyvio. Not repeating it would require talking ''about'' the list rather than providing the list, and there are some serious limitations of the utility there. Has the list made such a stink that other publications are reacting to it, that artists are trying to beat each other to make it, that there is a demonstrable effect as a phenomenon that can be discussed? ] 02:09, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

::I don't think poll results really qualify as intellectual property. If it was a list that was put together by the staff or by some famous guitarists i would understand, but I don't think the poll results from this magazine are any more copyrightable than the poll results from an election. The copyright issue, however, is not the reason I am listing this here. I feel that here is potential for the article to expand, and after taking a little bit of initiative to expand it (with more planned) I am a little angry to see it get deleted simply because it was once considered useless. --] 06:51, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Endorse deletion''', but not process. We can't have an article on every single magazine's annual seasonal spacefiller. But you're right, it should not have been speedied as a repost. If undeleted, then AfD immediately. ] 16:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*This one is a poser. I suppose we could go for a relist where the author may present his case. I, personally, don't see how it can survive without being a copyright violation or unencyclopoedic. I have to '''endorse''' deletion, but I agree with Guy: talking is good, and especially when the author is doing a hangon. (One could answer from the other side that the author should have gone to DRV from the start, too, but that's no excuse, really.) If the author wants to craft an AfD-proof article in user talk space and then move it to article space and renewed AfD at the same time, that might work. ] 17:20, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Comment'''. I agree with ]—as this list is only the result of a poll of the readers of ''Guitar World'', I think it is uncopyrightable data, just as ''Guitar World'' would have no copyright on the number of guitars sold in 2005 if it published this figure. ] 21:13, 19 July 2006 (UTC) |

*'''Comment''' At the time the rfd was closed, there was an active drv in progress. Although it was originally regarding the speedy deltion of the redirect, I did add a comment about the rfd to the drv, so it was available to comment on. While personally I think the drv should have been closed and the rfd continued (and not the other way around), because rfd can discuss a wider scope of arguements than drv, the fact that the rfd was mentioned at drv already and received no major opposition, would seem to me that it's been mostly reviewed already.

**In short, never had a real review anywhere. |
|
|
**However, the CfD/CfR to rename the category to match the redirect failed. |
|
|
**Meanwhile, SPUI continues to edit war over the redirect, the validity of the page where it redirects, where/whether the redirect should be used, and the text nearby describing his one (1) use of the redirect on a disambiguation page. |
|

**Yep, the RfD stinks, the DRV stinks, and it must be nice to have friends in high places.... |
