The result was redirect to Live action. Anyone who wants to tackle categorization is welcome to. -- Samir धर्म 05:51, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
Live Action Anime
Contested prod. The previous version was mostly a POV rant against live-action versions and general information about one forthcoming live actions movie. An anon tried to clean this up, but the article as it currently is can easily be converted into a category. Any information the article could contain should (theoreticallly) either be placed in Tokusatsu or Japanese television drama or Live action.--Kunzite 00:35, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Categorize and redirect to Live action per my reasons above. --Kunzite 00:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I don't mind deleteing and categorizing, but live action remakes of anime and manga isn't confined only to Japan, City Hunter and Initial D are examples of official live action remakes that are not Japanese. --ColourBurst 01:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's why I suggested Live action as the redirect point. --Kunzite 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I agree, when I opened the article I wondered if it was a category I was looking at. --HResearcher 06:54, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- That's why I suggested Live action as the redirect point. --Kunzite 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Isn't anime, by definition animated? By your definition, the recent cinematic release of the Lord of the Rings should then be live action animation, since it was originally animated. --Xrblsnggt 02:27, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- That could be fixed by changing the name to something like live action adaptions of anime. --Edgelord 02:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- (It's not my definition. --Kunzite 03:26, 4 August 2006 (UTC))
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Japan-related deletions. -- TheFarix (Talk) 03:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Move to a better title or simply categorize per above. — Dark Shikari /contribs 10:45, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and improve: The page seems consistent with the relevant list guidelines. It's not a page I would personally read, but I can't think of a policy or guideline against it, and it seems to fit in with the other anime lists. TheronJ 17:28, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Categorize - Wickning1 14:51, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep and improve, if it hasn't been improved by end of August re-list for deletion. Daniel.Bryant 06:21, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
- Redirect to Live action. There seems to be fairly little sense in having two articles on almost the entire same subject.—♦♦ SʘʘTHING 08:14, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

- Comment relist? It looks like there already is consensus. 132.205.93.88 04:33, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment Yes, but the AFD was already over 16 days old when I relisted it. Either the closing admins do not know exactly what the consensus is or they just overlooked it. --TheFarix (Talk) 20:34, 21 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. I think this is a topic that is alright to be kept. There is a difference between live action anime and say live action comic book adaptations or live action cartoon movies. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sfezfilms (talk • contribs) .

The result was redirect to dance music. - Mailer Diablo 22:33, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
Dance (music)
Duplicate of the already existing dance music article (without the brackets). Either we should have the article at dance (music) or at dance music, but we shouldn't have it at both titles with and without the brackets. Voortle 00:56, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete and redirect. SynergeticMaggot 00:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete and redriect per SynergeticMaggot. It seems like a likely search term.

The result was redirect to Hawaiian sovereignty movement. I read both and the soverignty movement article seems to already contain everything from this article. If there's anything worth merging, it can be found in the page history. Kimchi.sg 01:55, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
Hawaiian Independence Movement
1) Repeated NPOV violations; 2) Material covered elsewhere Jpetersen46321 01:04, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: I don't think NPOV violations are criteria for deletion. --HResearcher 06:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- weak Keep biased article. But could be salvaged. --Ageo020 01:29, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete then redirect to Hawaiian sovereignty movement - we don't need both and I don't see much that's worth merging. It's already covered elsewhere. BigDT 01:30, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- You mean blank then redirect. Why delete it (admin action) when it's only going to be recreated to enter the redirect? --HResearcher 10:33, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- merge - let's do a double check of Hawaiian sovereignty movement, and make sure we don't lose anything. We can work on NPOV tone while still keeping the relevant facts available. --JereKrischel 02:08, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge - seems like a fork (intended or not!) which should simply be merged back into sovereignty. InvictaHOG 03:14, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Merge and redirect to Hawaiian sovereignty movement.
Although this particular independence movement may be non-hawaiian and from my understanding the Hawaiian sovereignty movement gives Hawaii back to the native Hawaiians.--HResearcher 06:59, 4 August 2006 (UTC) - Merge Viable info that differs from main article. rootology (T) 08:38, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

List of colleges and universities in Washington
List is redundant to Category:Universities and colleges in Washington Nomination withdrawn. The convincing piece of the puzzle to me was Category:Lists of universities and colleges in the United States, which shows how the lists-by-state make another axis from the other categories of lists. In that context, I see the list as very useful. —C.Fred (talk) 01:16, 4 August 2006 (UTC), edited 04:49, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep per precedent (Category:Lists of universities and colleges in the United States); lists aren't always redundant to categories. CanadianCaesar Et tu, Brute? 02:36, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Strong keep - I am the one who created this list. Originally, some states had lists of colleges and universities and others did not. I created lists for each state based on what was on the list of colleges and universities in the United States, which I turned into a directory page for the state lists. Right now, every state has a list. Keep in mind that lists have some advantages over categories, mainly in that they can be organized differently, include institutions that do not yet have an article, and provide additional information (such as the city in which the institution is located). My plan was to format all the state lists to look similar to the list of colleges and universities in Tennessee. I started working on them alphabetically, but I only got as far as California before I realized how big a task that was and decided to take a break. I was hoping to get back to it eventually or to at least get some help with the task. If you look at some of the other state lists that I worked on, you should be able to see that these lists have some advantages over categories, and the two should complement each other nicely. I agree that this list in its current state is pointless, but I suggest that we improve this list rather than delete it. In any case, I don't think it makes sense to delete this list unless we deleted most of the other state lists as well, as well as the lists for many other countries. --Cswrye 03:43, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment - I made some improvements to the list. It still needs some work, but I hope that this is enough to show that it is worth keeping. --Cswrye 04:42, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Crime Expo SA

- Delete may eventually draw enough attention to iself to be notable, but as of now there's no reason for an article about it here. InvictaHOG 03:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Do NOT delete article. This is not a spoap box. Administrator input required. Article should be reformatted to suit requirements if areas of dispute is clearly indicated. Sufficient media attention was already received to be notable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 222.153.175.51 (talk • contribs) 05:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete per nominator and User:InvictaHOG. JIP | Talk 07:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Invictahog and JIP, the nominator's reason is irrelevant because it's not true. Crime Expo SA is notable per it's media coverage. --HResearcher 10:10, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete and Merge to South_Africa#Crime. Website has received some initial publicity, but it's only a month old, and it reamins to be seen if the notability will be durable. By merging to South_Africa#Crime, the text will come to the atention of many other editors, helping to ensue a higher quality of writing. If the crime section then gets too big, split out to something like "Crime in South Africa" before creating a specific article oin this one website. --BrownHairedGirl 11:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete this article. Wipe it off the face of the Earth, and list crimeexposa.org as official spam not welcome on Misplaced Pages (such as those Nigerian mooo.com sites). South African editors are tired of this nonsense. Zyxoas (talk to me - I'll listen)(vote placed on his behalf, at his request, by Guinnog 15:41, 4 August 2006 (UTC))
- Comment. Guinnog, that is not a valid vote. If Zyxoas wants to make input he can do it himself. --HResearcher 21:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- See my user talk for his explanation of why he couldn't do it himself, and his request to me to vote on his behalf. --Guinnog 21:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Fair enough, but I think it will be up to the person administering this Afd to decide whether Zyxoas opinion will count. Thanks --HResearcher 07:09, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- See my user talk for his explanation of why he couldn't do it himself, and his request to me to vote on his behalf. --Guinnog 21:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Delete - While it has received some attention, its exceedingly doubtful that it will remain notable for long. I second the suggestion by BrownHairedGirl above. Impi 16:05, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep. The listed sources establish notability. The article has textual problems, but that's grounds for editing, not deletion. And quite frankly, Zyxoas' response makes me want to see the article expanded, not deleted; I want to know what it is about this website, or about the South African culture, or the combination of the two, that produces such a passionate reaction. Kickaha Ota 16:13, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep - I agree that this has gotten enough attention to merit at least the brief article that it has. --Brianyoumans 19:32, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, that's the problem; there can never be anything else beyond a URL and the (2?) media mentions the URL has had. Unencyclopedic. This is not a listings service. --Guinnog 21:18, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- What notability criteria does it fail? --Daduzi 21:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- WP:WEB, I don't think it has had "multiple non-trivial published works whose source is independent of the site itself". I think this Misplaced Pages article (very poor though it is) is an attempt to bolster the credibility of a fairly new scare site. I don't think we should be doing that. --Guinnog 21:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- How do the BBC, CNN, the Cape Times (, subscription required) and the largest online new source in South Africa not count as multiple non-trivial published works? --Daduzi 22:03, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

If you read the CNN and the BBC articles, you will see that they are almost identical, no doubt because they will have been drafted from the same Reuters article. Without having paid to look at the Cape Times article, I would guess it will be the same Reuters article a third time. I would look for more than this before we should have an article on it. Wait a month or two and see what happens. You should have no problem getting more than this (effectively) one news report of a new website by then. Or it will have sunk without a trace, as a lot of these things do. It is so easy to set up a web site, we need to be especially careful in applying our guidelines to our articles on them.
I also, as I said, get the queasy feeling that Misplaced Pages is being used here, to garner respectability for this scare site. Transwiki to Wikinews perhaps? --Guinnog 22:11, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- I wouldn't describe the BBC and CNN articles as "nearly identical", and it's worth pointing out that the BBC article does not credit Reuters. Incidentally, I was wrong about the Cape Times article and the article (which does credit Reuters) is avaliable here. In any case, whether or not the original source was the same is irrelevant, what's important is that 2 major news organisations and assorted newspapers and lesser news organisations saw fit to report on the subject. As for the issue of garnering respectibility, I'd agree that it's a concern with the article as it stands but being the fact that an article may be written in a promotional way isn't grounds to delete it, but can be grounds to extensively rewrite it.--Daduzi 23:12, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment. I'm not sure that "the queasy feeling that Misplaced Pages is being used here" is a factor we should be considering. Either the subject of an article is notable or it isn't. If it's sufficiently notable, then it should be covered. If we start to say 'Well, yes, it's notable, but it's notable for the wrong reasons', then we set ourselves up for selection bias. Yes, we often delete articles for being advertisements. I've certainly rejected dozens of AfC articles for that reason. But when an article is deleted on that ground (as opposed to being rewritten), it's not just because it's an advertisement; it's because it's an advertisement of a non-notable subject -- in other words, it's an attempt to use Misplaced Pages to help the subject become notable. If the subject is already notable, then we rewrite, not delete. Otherwise, every article about a company, product or service on Misplaced Pages would become an instant candidate for deletion, since undoubtedly those articles help bring attention to the subjects of the articles. So in this case, if the website is notable (and it appears to be), then the article shouldn't be deleted just because it may have been written with the intent to draw people to the website. If that intent shows up in the article itself, then edit or delete the offending portions of the article. Kickaha Ota 05:13, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, sure. As I (and several others) have said, I think its current notability is marginal at best, and this Misplaced Pages article is an attempt to raise its profile and make it notable. If we delete the POV from the article, we are left with a URL, two external links (which read like they were based on the same Reuters article, or maybe the same press release, and so are counted by me as one), and a summary of the one-man site's sensationalistic content. Not a very encyclopedic article!
- I also count the website's novelty against it; as I said, why not delete for now and see if it attracts any other comment in the coming months, or if it sinks like a stone as many of these yellow press sites do? I agree with you that if the article is allowed to stay on Misplaced Pages it will have to be very extensively edited to conform to NPOV. --Guinnog 12:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- "Why not delete for now and see if it attracts any other comment in the coming months?" Because Misplaced Pages is not a crystal ball. What needs to be established is if there are sufficient verifiable sources to claim notability now, if the website generates no further press then the article can remain a discussion of the one issue that did generate press. And, no, the article would not just be a URL, external links and a summary of content; if that were all that could be written about there'd be no possible claim to notability as no major news organisations would have written about such a topic. The fact that news organisations have written about it, however, means that there is something that can be added to the article. I have to ask, if you have such an issue with the article's current format why not simply be bold and write your own, less POV version? --Daduzi 13:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Well, we obviously have different views on the "not a crystal ball" thing. I would interpret it (and this was what I meant above) as meaning we should delete the article for now, until or unless it attracts more coverage and comment, and thus more notability. You have a different view; that's fine, I suppose that's what these AfD discussions are about.

- As to being bold, I don't think you'll find many editors who will put a lot of work into rewriting an article that they have proposed for deletion. If the proposal was successful, it would be an awful waste of time, wouldn't it? But don't worry, even if this proposal is unsuccessful I will be watching it closely and, yes, my first action would be to completely rewrite it to conform with NPOV, MoS etc. I hope you will join me in this, should my first wish (to expunge what I stil think is a bid for notability from our encyclopedia) be unsuccessful. --Guinnog 14:06, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Guinnog, you say: "I don't think you'll find many editors who will put a lot of work into rewriting an article that they have proposed for deletion". But you nominated this for deletion and then say "my first action would be to completely rewrite it". And you are strongly arguing against notability, yet this subject has been covered by CNN and BBS. --HResearcher 15:51, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- Comment - I went and looked at the site. It has a fair amount of material on it - probably several hundred messages from crime victims, plus lots of statistics, other stuff. There was a list of the most recent reader comments, and there had been about 10 in the last 6 hours. The crime victim messages each had from 50 to (the highest I saw) 2000 page reads. A message from the site owner claimed that many recent victim letters had not been put up yet due to a website move.--Brianyoumans 19:24, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment If you go to the section "Popular content" and "All times" on the Crime Expo Website you will get an indication of the quantity times an article was read. Take the article: "Young male attacked on his small holding in Johannesburg". It had 7447 reads when this comment was posted. This is only 1 article, and there are hundreds. The website must have significant support.--Jackes 09:31, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep This article must stay here. This website has achieved a lot in a very small time, and is very notable. Other websites refer to the Crime Expo Website. As an example a well established trade Union in South Africa "Solidarity" have a link to Crime Expo. They will not have links to SPAM websites. Click hereto go to the page that display the link.--Jackes 09:12, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep The content of the Crime Expo article can be edited / modified to improve the article. More information can be added, such as the fact that the South African tourist industry does not like the website + their reason(s) for it.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackes (talk • contribs) (second 'keep' from this user)
- DeleteMisplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a news station. The article describes the site in question as a "place for victims to tell their stories." That makes it basically a blog. There are about 700 G-hits. Although it has achieved some notoriety, this may be temporary. It has not been in existence long enough to establish notability. The attestations to notability in the article at the time of me writing this show that it a sensation-- for the present. They do not demonstrate sufficient notability to meet WP:WEB. We will see. For now, the creator should park a copy in his user space and try again if the site continues to become more well known. Cheers. :) Dlohcierekim 21:13, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
- Keep Misplaced Pages is an encyclopedia, not a news station. Misplaced Pages have articles on news stations such as BBC, CNN & Reuters. By witing an article on these, Misplaced Pages does not become a news station? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackes (talk • contribs) (third 'keep' from this user)
- Keep Dlohcierekim, your argument is misleading. There is more than 1 search engine on which info can be found. Then you can enter "Crime Expo SA" as well as "Crime Expo South Africa", or just "Crime Expo". All these refer to articles on the same subject. A Google search on just "crime expo" reveils about 15200 hits. , As an example not all the hits uses SA or South Africa, such as the Google results that linked to a political party in South Africa. This means that the website even received political attention , a amazing achievement, that shows notability.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Jackes (talk • contribs) (fourth 'keep' from this user)
- Keep Dlohcierekim, how many G-Hits would you consider to give notability? Is 700 hits not sufficient. It appear to me as if it a considerable quantity.--Jackes 09:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC) (fifth 'keep' from this user, who has made 12 edits, all in relation to this article. First edit summary was "(Let's test the impartiality of Misplaced Pages.)"

- Comment: I am not sure whether his notability justifies a place here. Anyway, a search engine test shows his name at the very top, plus a number of entries about him in the first few pages(Google) (Yahoo). This may suggest people from trading fields should know him. That's also the main reason why he is included when a disambiguation page of Joe Ross is created. However I see no entry about Joe Ross (referee) in the search, nor I know him. Should this be deleted as well (provided that Joe Ross (trader) is decided to be deleted)? --Wai Wai (talk) 03:47, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
- Joe Ross (trader) could be using google bomb marketing techniques. It's in his interest for his company. At first glance, I would vote delete in an afd of Joe Ross (referee). I'll consider nominating that article Bwithh 02:25, 5 August 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: How can we check for sure he has used search engine optimizations to get the place? But I notice there are some other websites which talks about him too (eg interviews found at Trade2Win and Moneybags etc.) Does it suggest he has some fame in trading fields? I think we need someone who is in the trading field to answer this question. By the way, did you issue an afd of Joe Ross (referee)?--Wai Wai (talk) 04:08, 5 August 2006 (UTC)

- Delete as per nom. Regarding Kristjan Wager's findings, an Amazon.com listing or an ISBN are not good proofs of notability as anyone can obtain one (even without actually having a book). Also having a book published is not an automatic guarantee of notability. Also these particular books listed on Amazon.com are all published by "Ross Trading, Inc." i.e. they are published by a company owned and operated by the author's daughter-in-law (who even handles most of the company's phone calls and all the book orders by herself apparently) i.e. this is self-publishing.

- Comment Agreed on WP:CORP, but please be wary of using Alexa as a measure of notability. This doesn't appear to be a web-based company, so Alexa's relevance is questionable to being with. Even if this were a website, according to WP:SET "Alexa rankings are not a part of the notability guidelines for web sites". Because of the significant bias and flaws in Alexa's measurements, its rankings can never be used to assert "non-notability". --grummerx 17:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Thoughts
First of all, appreciate all you conscientious Wikipedian. Actually, it was first time to post a message here. I am very impressed with such a powerful self-cleansing action by Wikipedian.
As to this matter, I want to tell several things.
With a little bit my experience with Misplaced Pages, I just think about three keywords for Misplaced Pages. “Curiosity”, “Explore”, and “Define”
According to the current description of NAC by Misplaced Pages, “It is still an emerging technology space, and many vendors are taking advantage of this lack of definition to jump on the NAC bandwagon. But if we boil down NAC to its essence,” This means we need to provide more information to define what the NAC is in general somehow.
“If we boil down” who is the “We”? “We” should be individual, school, even company, anyone who got interested in NAC. In order to boil down NAC objectively, I believe we need to gather more information(fact) about NAC from all different channels excluding subjective opinions. But related concept, idea, and even specific solution should be introduced.
Especially, lots of vendors work on the NAC so it would not hurt to introduce NAC-related companies.
I think that “unheard-of and non-notable” does not help defining the definition of NAC at this stage. I guess that it is against “curiosity” and “explore”
Just thought.
Thanks for all your good work, Wikipedian!

PS. Is it ok to count myself as Wikipedian : )
- Comment: Actually, the three keywords for Misplaced Pages would be more like "neutral, verifiable, and free. You might want to read WP:8W and some of the pages it links to. Hope to see you continue contributing! —Scott5114↗ 17:15, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

- Keep Let us view this in perspective. Being involved in at least five albums sounds notable to me, especially if the genre is indy rock music. Her work with other notable people in this field asserts her notability as well. --Siva1979 03:00, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Delete and redirect to Hilltop Hoods. I don't think that a group that sang one song on one album really deserves an article. That said, we do have Automatic Baby which fits the same bill.

- Delete. the only reason the name 'Blue Blooded Allstars' was included on the album sleve was to make it fit in the space since there are about 13 artists on the track. In the actual album detailed section inside the CD sleve, it lists each individual artist instead. 'Blue Blooded Allstars' was used as the track is called 'Blue Blooded'. This should be deleted, if it ever crops up again in the future as a real musical group it can be recreadted with some real info.
