Inherently funny word

No word is inherently funny, it is culturally constructed. This article is biased in concept and largely original research in execution. Plus, it doesn't include "pig" which I think is hilarious, but it does include "giggle" which is not even mildlly amusing, conjuring thoughts of vacuous gum-chewing schoolgirls on buses. If anyone can find me an article in any paper encyclopaedia, however big, on "inherently funny word" I will withdraw this nomination. Unless it's the Encyclopaedia Cruftannica. In which case we'll have found a copyvio. Survived VfD back in 2004 on the grounds that it was funny - as far as I can tel this is no longer policy, I checked WP:FUNNY and found nothing. Guy 00:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Based on some of the references, it seems like this article could exist, albeit in a possibly different format. The fact that funniness if social constructed, for me at least, increases the need for an article which discusses that, provided it can be referenced. savidan 00:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete I don't find the words in the list funny, therefore they are not inherently funny, therefore the article is false and it must be deleted. --Ruby 00:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Everything that is unreferenced should of course be removed, but the use of certain words as "inherently funny" by comedians (and the response of their audience) can be documented, and probably there is some more research on humor that can be cited to source this article better. The intro might need a complete rewrite, though. Kusma (討論) 00:31, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, but not as is. This article is one of the centerpieces of wikipedia's humour section alongside Unusual articles and List of unusual deaths, but it's a messy article and needs work. Somebody needs to give it a thorough cleanup. Add some sources, and delete everything unsupported by references. Night Gyr 00:35, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep with ref's -Who said this word is inherently funny and what not. -AKMask 00:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep - for some reason the idea of this article gets under a few people's skin. But it's a legitimate concept to discuss. Unfortunately, it's also a concept that draws a lot of fly-by edits (I know something funny - let's add it!), hence the messiness. - DavidWBrooks 01:02, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. Whether there is any such thing as an inherently funny word is irrelevant to whether the article should be deleted. Otherwise one could make the same case for deleting Ghost. The point is that certain words have been characterized as being inherently funny, as the article documents quite well. Unusual articles like this are part of what makes Misplaced Pages cool. dbtfz 01:19, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep, and smak JzG will some inherently funny word like Pantyhose, bubbly or giggles... because he I feel he may have skiped a couple steps. You know, some wise men once said to me, if you think it need verifying, then put the verify sign on it. Don't just delete it. If you think it's NPOV then put that one on it too. And only delete it if you really want to. However I may be swayed for other reason to delete this. For example this may simply be an enumaration of several words. However considereing we have a definition for funny page,Funny little itinerant blip, Funny little ugly fat fellow, Funny wagon (what they will soon be putting me in if I continue leaving such odd comments to JzG and he continues on with a double standard, while they bring me to the funny house)... but then again maybe this will all be a Funny story from a funny man from Canada hey! That will add his french Funny foreign squigle when he write it in his funny book talking about funny business experiences with a guy name JzG. Or perhaps instead... keeping it all withinfunny fantasy that is funilly enough not the funniest joke but may add some smiles and funny faces. (Darn! I couldn't find inherently funny word though!)--CyclePat 01:47, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

You can't verify a word being inherently funny, because funny is a subjective concept to start with. Oh, and pantyhose is not funny at all. Unlike trouser, which cracks me up every time (and leaves others utterly bewildered). See what I mean? Guy 13:10, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete No word is inherently funny, only its meaning can be. Jim62sch 03:53, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

commnent prove it. And once you do. Add that fact to the article with you source. --CyclePat 04:17, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. It a number of people lack the required sense of humour. But I doubt even they can deny that, for example, banana is a word used often in jokes and the like (without a suitable context, just because of the word and nothing else). Basically the word has to be trivial in meaning (and thus it's meaning isn't funny at all), it usually sounds "awkward" or "foreign" or plain silly. And if you mention it at one point in a conversation for no reason at all it should be funny. Replacing it with textdocument or something equally mundane should not be (as) funny. In any case, there's comedians who believe in them...there are plenty of other people who "believe" in them, and hence it should be pretty obvious that an explanation is required for those that come across it without knowing what it is. Not to mention many, many articles reference it for good reason. Rygir 04:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. It is neither Original Research - all of it is what other people have said are inherently funny words - nor POV. A fine example of a slightly off-the-wall topic being handles very well. Batmanand 11:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete Not encylopedic and more of an opinion peice. TVXPert 14:54, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete with extreme prejudice. This has to be one of the five worst articles I've read on Misplaced Pages, and I hated it before it was brought here. There's no excuse for this kind of garbage. It's original research, it's stuff made up in school one day, it's not notable, it aims to be a how-to on stand-up comedy. This is a pile of reeking garbage that would make Satan weep. It makes this encyclopedia look like it was written by moronic nosepicking fourth-graders. I can't emphasize enough how bad this is. BrianGCrawfordMA 15:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Come on, don't hold back, tell us how you really feel. Turnstep 23:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep per Kusma. S iva1979 15:18, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete original research/essay format. not encylopedic. Ncsaint 17:21, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Conditional keep - this article is highly misleading. If the article can differentiate between "inherently funny words" as an attempt to be funny. There is a huge different between that and scholarly language and psychology journals stating that this concept is true. So, I believe the subject may have been broached by enough comedians to merit its inclusion as a well known joke... but as a truly scholarly subject I have seen no evidence yet... and if this article doesn't differentiate between the two then it's seriously misleading. gren グレン 18:05, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete - bad title, smells like original research, POV, and in general unencyclopedic. Renata 22:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep as a perfectly valid article that may need some cleanup and verify, but in no way merits deletion. Turnstep 23:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. WP:OR, WP:V. —Ruud 01:06, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete, how is any of this information useful/meaningful/relevant in a non-original research/POV way? None of these words are "inherently" funny except to English-speakers, anyways. What do I need an encyclopedia article to argue for the idea that the word "bassoon" is "inherently funny"? Incredibly stupid article (even if it were retitled "funny words" or "words used frequently by comedians.") Please Don't BlockPlease Don't Block

Precisely. Not only is tenoroon much funnier, so is bassinet. In my opinion. and there is no way this can get around the fact that it's entirely based on opinion. Guy 13:09, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete! or, alternatively, merge - sillyness. They're not funny, maybe some of the material could be merged to an article such as humour...But on its own... no. -- Greaser 06:37, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep — but remove anything that is original research or unreferenced, of course. -- Jao 12:08, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Kept before, keep it again. --badlydrawnjeff (WP:MEME?) 14:03, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep since a) this has been kept before and b) it's just perfect fodder for WP:UA and c) there may be good sources to support this, if not on academic level then on, um, some comedic level. Though, the article definitely may need cleanup. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 18:30, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep but somehow this article needs to be 'steamlined' and broken into a few sub headings. Inherently Funny is a legitimate comedic concern and valid considertion for many comedians. Steve Allen has written on the subject and I recall Milton Berle mentioning it as far back as the 1960s. Cincinatti is a funny word, Dallas is not. Maybe "k" is funny by association: Shecky Green, Red Skelton, Danny Kaye, Ernie Kovaks. At any rate, the concept deserves some more research and citations. John Sinclair, Salt Lake City (har!)
Trivia: I have seen somewhere that Jimbo Wales locked this article for a few hours for the purpose of using it as a demonstration of Misplaced Pages on a TV show. (I'll be happy to try to source this if anyone thinks their vote is affected by it. It looks to me as if this is going "no consensus".) No vote from me. AndyJones 20:31, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- My vote is unlikely to change, but I would be curious to see more details about this. Turnstep 02:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Actually, I think this is all I ever knew. It just stuck in my mind for some reason. See the penultimate item and its edit summary. (Possibly that item will have been pushed to the next page by the time the AfD closes.) AndyJones 09:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete "Funny" is entirely a POV. If it weren't, "table", which I've always considered an extremely funnt word, would be on the list. :D e nni ☯ 01:11, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

comment: Yesterday's Globe and mail, february 20, 2006, page A14, Section, Social Studies (A daily miscellany of Information by micheal Kesteron (MKesterton@globeandmail.ca)) cited Harold Geneen in his Though du jour and stated:

"The reliability of the person giving you the facts is as important as the facts themselves. Keep in mind that facts are seldom facts, but what people think are facts, heavily tinged with assumptions."

Again, Hard facts are really rare. What we most commonly have are opinions from people. (POV's) Inherently most articles are full of POV's. Does that give us the right to delete them? I don't think so. --CyclePat 01:41, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

comment: perhaps, "table" is a funny word for you, but if you have not written a published book or can't find a published book on that subject (ie.: on the inherent funnyness of that word) than it wouldn't meet the wikipedia standard of inclusion based on the WP:NOR (Misplaced Pages No original research... and if that is or was the case then we should nullify this entire process, start an entirelly new deletion process with those accusations.) --CyclePat 01:57, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you're driving at here, but there are no sources attesting to the inherent funniness of words mentioned in the article, "weasel", for instance, which, IMHO, makes most of this article OR. If this article is to be kept, it needs serious editing and sourcing. D e nni ☯ 01:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep but edit drastically. It should exist where 'Inherrently funny word' is a quote rather than a topic, as comedians have spoken on this subject and given examples. I suggest it should begin with something like 'An 'Inherrently funny word' is a concept which has been proposed by many comedians, including (etc), and featuring words like (etc)'. No word is inherrently funny, it's all relative. --Luke44 21:41 22 February 2006 (GMT)
Keep Interesting article, though per Luke44 and others it could use a little cleanup/organization. OhNo itsJamie 04:46, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep nice article. Grue 21:12, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep The article holds a great deal of information on a concept which clearly has been addressed many times in popular media, as seen in the number of sources it cites. It doesn't try to establish a deffinative list of all "inherently funny" words, although the opinion of profession commedians could probably be taken as expert opinion, and thus qualify for inclusion, as has been done. If someone feels that the article is trying to create an inherently incomple and potentially POV list, then it could be cleaned up, but since it is clearly a subject that has been addressed there is no reason to delete it. After all, there are articles on consipracy theories, alien abduction and pseudosciences that may not actually physically exist, but the idea is prevalent enough that in can be reasonable addressed. After all, all of these quotes are verifiable. I've read Dave Barry's piece where he claims weasel is an inherently funny word, for instance. He certainly qualifies as an expert, and thus it's not OR. Icelight 20:31, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep I am not a member of Misplaced Pages. I'm pretty sure I signed up for an account before, but I don't remember my user name or my password. I have to say that I have the exact opposite opinion on this article that Mr. Brian G. Crawford has. The argument here seems to be that, if this article concerns the subject of silliness, then the article itself must be silly. Nothing is empirically funny, at all, ever. It is -ALWAYS- culturally constructed. That is the nature of humor itself. The fact is that humor is difficult to analyze because you don't know whether something is funny until it makes you laugh. "Inherent funniness" is the concept by which something is simply considered funny, and therefore preferable to things that are not funny. In the satirical online game, The Kingdom of Loathing, the clothing choices for player characters are "pants" and "hat". I am not aware of an official stated reason for clothing being limited to those items, but it is my opinion that experts on humor will agree that "pants" and "hat" are the funniest names for articles of clothing. Certainly, some people may argue that "socks" is funny or that player characters should be allowed to choose "galoshes" or "underpants" or something similarly silly. In this respect, humor can be considered entirely objective. Some people may not find any words to be inherently funny at all, just like how I am fairly sure I have not laughed at an episode of "Seinfeld" at all, not even once. Those who want this article deleted seem to be convinced that humor is not worthy of intelligent analysis because of its subjectivity or its strong ties to the culture of those involved with both producing the humor and laughing at it. I myself firmly believe that it is because of these things that humor is a worthy topic of discussion. There won't be articles discussing in detail every form of humor in legitimate mainstream paper encyclopedias, because humor is a very difficult topic. However, if this article ends up being deleted (being edited to conform to a higher standard of quality is quite acceptable) it will severely hurt my faith in humanity. I just thought I'd throw in my own two cents. --65.13.17.229 07:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

First Family of the United States

I'll be blunt. The article is redundant of Barbara and Jenna Bush, First Family, and Laura Bush, and not to mention, is unsourced as is. In addition, unless the author intends on writing a "First Family" article for Washington through Clinton, the article, as it stands now, is simply another Bush family article, making it redundant with Bush Family. I am not taking away from anybody's notability or anything like that, I am simply pointing out that this article is simply redundant with already existing, sourced articles. Jay(Reply) 00:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete per Jay --Ruby 00:46, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep I completely understand. I am writing the Clinton section of the article right now, actually. The article is NOT intended to be a Bush family chronicle; I am trying to compile data from ALL of the First Families. I hope you'll consider not deleting this article. Thank you. History21

Delete as redundant per many other articles. Contains a lot of assertion and apparent editorialising, looks a lot like a POV fork. If kept, should be reduced to a one-sentence summary for each family with links to the main articles. Guy 18:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment:Yay!!! It now appears as if this article will be kept, and of course I am very happy with that. For those who say it should be deleted, I can only state that the First Family of the United States has been a distinct institution for two centuries. Some First Families (in particular the Kennedys) had a significant inpact on the popular culture of the day. To those who support me in keeping the article, I must say that I agree with your assertions that more should be included about the security the First Family receives, the privileges they are privy to, etc. I would welcome inclusion of that within this article, because, frankly, I don't think I could cover it all on my own. However, I feel strongly that te biographical information as pertains to each First Family's time in the White House should STAY, and I will reinsert any biographical info that is unnecessarily deleted. The idea of a one-sentence summary of each First Family is a bit far-fetched. If people wanted mediocre knowledge on the topic, they wouldn't come to Misplaced Pages. We should be detailed. And for all the "editorialising" I have done, I feel that the article is very neutral. Based on my descriptions of two Republican and one Democratic First Family, can you really guess what my political views are? I note Clinton's infidelities and the Bush twins' binging in a purely factual manner. So, that is what I have to say, and I will check in here from time to time to see what everyone else thinks. Thank you. History21

Comment: If you continue to expand it the way you're doing (there's even a note on the page "NOTE: THIS ARTICLE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION AND WILL BE EXPANDED BY ITS ORIGINAL CREATOR." which I don't think is usual practice), it's going to be extremely long WP:SIZE. Not only is it redundant (duplicating material for people most or all of whom have their own entries on WP, none of which you've linked), it is internally redundant e.g. noting each person in a family "ceased to be First" whatever on a certain date.

Comment: I have told you, I feel that this biographical information is important, and I intend to expand it because I know a good deal about it. However, I feel that others SHOULD come forward to help with more general information about the institution as a whole. I can, of course, research the Secret Service. Yes, yes, I'll do that. Alright, thank you all again. History21

Delete anything that needs to be said about the american first family can be said in the First Family article. Which needs completely rewriting by the way as is describes any country other than american as "foreign" which is a useless (and possibly offensive) term in an international encyclopædia. Jcuk 22:38, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: What? It is a Brit, isn't it? And do you all refer to the Blairs as the First Family? Honestly, the idea that the American First Family could simply be included in an article that describes the families of heads of state in general is itself rather funny. I mean, come on, I don't really think anyone is pretending that Cherie Blair yields the same kind of inflence as Laura Bush. The American First Family, whoever its members are at any given time, is the most powerful and influential family on Earth. Let me put it this way: if George W. Bush does something notable, you all hear about it. If Laura Bush does something notable, you all hear about it. When Barbara and Jenna Bush go out drinking, you all hear about it. When one of the Blairs does something notable, NO ONE CARES. I'm not being arrogant, I'm just illustrating a fact. I don't even know who Tony Blair's children are! I couldn't tell you if Jacques Chirac even has a wife, let alone the woman's name if he is married. And yet, EVERYONE knows about the American First Family. That's just the way it is. As the most significant and powerful family on the face of the Earth, I think they deserve their own article, don't you? History21 00:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment
"do you all refer to the Blairs as the First Family?" ? no
"When Barbara and Jenna Bush go out drinking, you all hear about it." Who?
"As the most significant and powerful family on the face of the Earth, I think they deserve their own article, don't you?" They have it. Bush Family. Anything else that needs saying about the american first family can be said in the First Family article. --Jcuk 10:19, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Whoa, There. This article is not about the Bush family, it is about the First Family of the United States, an institution far more influential than any other similar body on the face of this planet. And who are you to redirect this article into First Family when voting on it has clearly not stopped? Far more people voted to keep than to redirect, and I am reposting this. Give me one good reason why the First Family of the United States doesn't deserve its own article?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by History21 (talk • contribs) 16:47, 20 February 2006.

Comment: I didn't, somebody called neutrality did. See my reasons above for why this article should be deleted. Jcuk 23:33, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: I agree it shouldn't have been redirected without this discussion being closed. History21 undid the redirect, and I've reverted it to the last most complete version prior to that redirect. The number of people voting to keep is not the sole basis of whether an article is deleted or not AFAIK. The main reason to delete it is that there are already articles covering some of the families and all of the individuals. Another lesser problem is a US-centric systemic bias overstating the importance of members of the "first family" beyond the President and First Lady. Another problem is length; if the article covers all the so-called "first families" as the intention was stated, it could grow to be about 40,000 words in length.Schizombie 18:58, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete or rewrite completely. The information about the Bush family is redundant, and an article with this title should focus on the institution, not on specific families. One immediate step to improve this article would be to remove all but the first paragraph. Kusma (討論) 17:27, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep but rewrite and include information on all the other presidential families. Cut down info on Bush and Clinton families as it duplicates existing articles like Barbara and Jenna Bush etc. -- Astrokey44|talk 22:59, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: The article, as it presently stands, is repetitive of quite a few already well written, adequately sourced material on Misplaced Pages. From what I see now, in an attempt to have the article kept, the author is adding unsourced, inaccurate paragraphs every now and again to expand the article - not good news. A majority of keep votes are under "extensive rewrite" or "rewrite completely." I am not saying that an article of such a title should not exist, for the institution is rather important. I am just saying that as it stands now, the current article under the title "First Family of the United States," per all the delete votes and keep+rewrite votes needs to be scrapped, and rewritten from a much different approach. Deleting the article removes the histories, to prevent reversion - a rewritten article under the title "First Family of the United States" would have no need to be reverted to what currently sits under that name. --Jay(Reply) 00:38, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: We'll keep the anti-American nonsense to a minimum, shall we? While I'm sure that the hegemonic empire on your southern border causes you great pain, it is not my fault that our own officials carry more sway than your own, and acknowledging the fact is not "foolishness." Yes, the American First Family is known across the world. Is this really a surprise? Come now...think. History21 03:17, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: Just my guess, but I bet there's a significant percentage of Americans who don't know Mrs. Bush's first name, and I'd bet even money that at least half of Americans could not name the two (?) Bush juniors. Certainly, people around the world know there is a First Family, but beyond that, they are mostly blissfully ignorant. I'm not sure where your leap of interepretation came from that I was dismissing as foolish the fact that your officials carry more sway than ours. What I was dismissing as foolish was the statement that "everyone knows about the first family". Clearly, this is hubris. D e nni ☯ 01:54, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: How's about using proper grammar? (Notice the apostrophe in "how's.") When referring to an American, we use capitals. Don't ruin a (I'll admit) fairly clever attack against me by using flawed punctuation. It just really, really upsets me, almost as much as the still silly assertion that the U.S. First Family does not merit its own article. By the way, I must commend you for using my own statements to demonstrate my "american nonsense," alluding of course to my own use of "anti-American nonsense." That was quick. Your astuteness however, does not make up for the fact that everything I said was true. Sorry. That it was true. For you, anyway. History21 00:00, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
Oh, and another thing that really grinds my nerves: "hows about keeping the american nonsense to a minimum ." should clearly have a question mark on the end of it! Oy, vey! Periods, my dear British friend, mark the end of a statement, and question marks the end of either a direct or indirect question ("How's about doing this?" It's not exactly a command, more of a suggestion, if you can even call it that). Okay, I feel better now. I wonder if I would get in trouble for vandalizing posts by making them conform to English language standards? Hmm... History21 00:04, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: The absence of material on all the "first families" is not a reason to delete it, IMO. However, adding the missing families would not make for a reason to keep it either. It's still redundant, something that hasn't been addressed yet. How do you write about a president's significance as a member of the "first family" in a way that it covers things not covered by the article on that man or the one on President of the United States? How do you write about a first lady's significance as a member of the "first family" in a way that it covers things not covered by the article on that woman or the one on First Lady of the United States? How do you write about the significance of other members of the family as members of the "first family" in a way that it covers things not covered by the articles on those people? A more valuable endeavor, IMO, would be to create articles for the redlinked "Non-spouse 'First Ladies'" and "White House hostesses" from the FLOTUS page. Schizombie 21:30, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

No, no The First Family is a significant institution by itself. As a collective unit, it is more important than any royal family could ever hope to be. And regarding Denni's comment that many Americans aren't familiar with our own First Family; I feel that any American who didn't know the First Lady and First Daughters' names would have to be almost clinically retarded. People in this country may not be able to tell the difference between Democrats and Republicans, but they're pretty well schooled on the members of the President's family.

ATTENTION!

If you came to this page because a friend asked you to do so, or because you saw a message on an online forum asking you to do so, please note that this is not a vote on whether or not this article is to be deleted. It is not true that everyone who shows up to a deletion discussion gets an automatic vote just for showing up.

The deletion process is designed to determine the consensus of opinion of Misplaced Pages editors; for this reason comments from users whose histories do not show experience with or contributions to Misplaced Pages are traditionally given less weight and may be discounted entirely.

You are not barred from participating in the discussion, no matter how new you may be, and we welcome reasoned opinions and rational discussion based upon our policies and guidelines. However, ballot stuffing is pointless. There is no ballot to stuff. This is not a vote, and decisions are not made upon weight of numbers alone. Please review Misplaced Pages:Deletion policy for more information.

As I stated in the AFD for Ruin Mist, Stanek is an oddment. Stanek is infamous throughout science fiction publishing. What tends to happen is that a completely non-notable book is put out in the Stanek name, and then hundreds, if not thousands, of positive reviews begin to flood web-based reviews websites. Oddly, these reviews are all identical. Now, I'm not saying that Stanek himself has anything to do with these reviews, any more than I'm saying that the sudden flurry of Stanek-related articles on Misplaced Pages are anything to do with him personally, but the long arm of coincidence stretches only so far. Ironically, if this article is kept, it should be for those very reasons, but should be rewitten to reflect the fact that his only "fame" is through this astonishing spamming campaign, for which he (or someone who is a big fan of his) has far more talent than he does for writing fiction. In some areas of fandom, the verb "to stanek" is starting to mean "to overhype junk writing ("e.g., to say "Tis Perry Rhodan book is brilliant" would be to stanek). If you're looking for some references for all this, BTW, I can proffer , , , , ... ~~overall, I'd favour a delete, though~~ On second thoughts, the gratuitous self-promotion is probably worthy of an article - but if it is kept, it may need serious edit-protecting to stop the Stanek supporter(s) from bowdlerising it.

Delete because not sourced. Keep with sources. Pavel Vozenilek 20:45, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
- A lack of sources is not sufficient grounds for deletion. There are several Featured Articles that lack sources, even (although their featured status is coming under review, they are not being considered for deletion because of it). Slambo (Speak) 12:02, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The non-existence of reliable sources would be grounds for deletion (WP:NOT a publisher of first instance) but oin this case there is plenty of evidence of currency of these terms from other sources, even though they are not cited. Terms like "hoover" are common currency in railway modelling and railfan magazines; these are not available online, but "teh Intarweb" is not the world, somethign we often forget when we can't find somethign on Google. Part of the point of Misplaced Pages, for me, is to bring stuff which you'd otherwise have to visit the library to find, onto the web. In this case the article is substantially more useful than things like the lists of hacker jargon, since there is already an authoritative source of hacker jargon at the Jargon Files, and all we're doing is mirroring it and sometimes adding unverified cruft. Some of this information is hard to find. But then, I'm a reformed trainspotter from before the days of Google, when you had to be inducted into the brotherhood before you knew what the f**k they were talking about...

Strong keep. Most if not all of the problems with this article can be rectified with a little TLC. SchuminWeb (Talk) 14:43, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep. There are several webpages dotted around the internet with slices of jargon, some with just one or two entries some with more. There is no central respository. As Slambo said, other lists of jargon are accepted, even when we are duplicating effort. This and the US railfan jargon article were recently spun out from the main railfan article as the two lists were starting to take over. There is also no point in merging the two lists as rail terminology is probably the area where British and American English are the most different. Thryduulf 18:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

- Believe it or not, we actually agree on part of this debate - pages that violate WP policy should be deleted. My vote reasoning points out established precedents for articles of this type. If they are deleted as well and the policy is evenly enforced (it doesn't look likely with the vote counts there right now), I will then change my vote. Yes, I am a railfan, but that in itself is not the reason for my keep vote. Slambo (Speak) 14:23, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
  - Precedents need to be changed and the articles need to be deleted. You have a vested interest as you seem to be a member of the Trains WikiProject, but the article should be deleted since it goes against policy, as all the other ones like it. Frühstücksdienst 14:29, 23 February 2006 (UTC)

Automobile ownership

"Prod" tag removed with the reason "legitimate disambiguation page". I disagree. This is not a disambiguation page in the way that I have seen them used on Misplaced Pages. This page is more of a Category - or more accurately, a sub-Category of Category:Automobiles. This is not an encyclopedia article. CrypticBacon 02:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Delete as well-meaning but misguided. dbtfz 02:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC). Change to weak keep in light of recent revisions. Still seems like a strange topic for an article, but what the hay. dbtfz 17:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
expand and keep: nice category... or list of articles. This appears to be a draft that may have room for expansion. I like it. If worse come to worse, merge with automobile. However I can see much regional differences, Canadian ownership, US ownership, photo's scans, how to? Where to go? etc.. --CyclePat 03:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

it disturbes me to see that this should probably be an article stub with clean-up tage and attention... not a dissambigation. --CyclePat 03:30, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment - has some potential. Should probably be kept iff changed to an article about automobile ownership rather than a list of links. Current content is not helpful, especially given Category:Automobiles. -- Jonel | Speak 04:09, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment As of right now this article has been greatly expanded to take on a different form. However, I am still unsure if it meets quality standards. My main point of contention is that even though the information is helpful and true, it is not encyclopedic. This article is analogous to "Dog ownership" or "Goldfish ownership", with seperate paragraphs on 'selecting your pet', 'feeding your pet', 'grooming your pet'...etc. Vote for Delete, but merge and/or redirect. CrypticBacon 04:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
KeepThis deletion proposal was based on the disambiguation page by the name of 'automobile ownership' I have took time to expand the page into an actual article and request that it be kept and expanded. Tutmosis 16:03, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep There are many people who would like to research this topic and who are courious what an ecyclopedia entry concerning it may state. It is useful and informative adn will cater to the needs of quite a few visitors. Besides the deletion request was based on a small dismbig I created. Since then, however, the article has evolved into a real article that is of use to Wiki visitors. Signature 17:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Weak Keep This topic has potential, but in the present incarnation appears to require more substance, including the personal pros and cons of actually owning the thing as well as the social and transportation ramifications of private car ownership. Ramayan 22:26, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment A bit of an odd entry. Possibly more suited to wikibooks? --Interiot 00:35, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Keep for now. Current article has some merit, certainly doesn't violate major Misplaced Pages policy nor satisfy deletion criteria. -ikkyu2 (talk) 07:50, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment This article has definitely improved since I nominated it. However, yes, it still feels like an extremely bloated dicdef ("Automobile Ownership is the sum of all the aspects associated with owning an automobile."?) Wikibooks seems like a good place for this article - it is more of an instructional manual or help page for those interested in the topic than it is a true encyclopedia article. This article also flirts with original research. If we allow this page, what it to stop us from creating pages on pet ownership, home ownership, or stock ownership? All of these seem like they would be either disambiguation pages, Categories, or Wikibooks. My vote (not a "real" vote since I'm the nominator) is transfer the material somewhere then redirect the page to Category:Automobiles. CrypticBacon 08:32, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
- Comment: Simply within my municipality I can think of much documentation that exist on vehicle registration. I myself have dedicated the last 2 years of my life on how to register a motorized bicycle in Ontario. I have official documentation (published and a lot un-published). There are government publications, books, official correspondances, etc. that exist on how to, what to. There are laws that exist (official publications). I think I could easilly make an encyclopedic article on vehicle registration here in Ontario let alone the rest of the world. Heck I think I could make an article on registration of motorized bicycles registration... oh wait I have made something like that it's called Electric bicycle laws. (not quite the same but it does cover registration!). Wikibooks may be an interest place to expand the article once it becomes to big. (they allow that!) They however don't allow original research (though they are less strick about it at the current moment). If you are interested in starting a book please contact me for I've started a book called How To Ride The Bus. However, on this subject, I consider starting a book at this momment, a type of fork. --CyclePat 02:21, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

Megaplx 10:13, 19 February 2006 (UTC) So a website like www.angrypatrioticbastard.com wouldn't be notable because it isn't in the top 100,000?

The problem I see is that the reference section just doesn't make sense to me. Follow WP:CITE... And unfortunatelly, this seems to be an inherent problem for most articles here at AFD. If we simply put ""unsourced"" and guided new commer to wikipedia we would be developing a friendlier place. And we would be making much more productive and credible articles. The links that are provided, I feel, are no different than linking to google and then saying "search." It is imparitive to have a well sourced article. After that... you have to deal with notability. Obviously if your article is well sourced this shouldn't be so bad. However some less notable people have been removed from wiki. Good luck! --CyclePat 20:32, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Brigadier General Dennis Hejlik Dennis Hejlik

Listed at copyvio, but taken from a public domain .mil site. Still, it's hardly an encyclopedic article; it's just a resume, and doesn't indicate that this is more than just a distinguished but hardly historically significant officer. My vote is for deletion. Chick Bowen 03:49, 19 February 2006 (UTC) After very impressive rewrite by Jonel, nomination withdrawn. This is the right way to use public domain material. Chick Bowen 16:11, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

To clarify my vote -- lots of things aren't historically notable. Most athletes aren't, schools aren't, the news of the day isn't, on a long enough timeline, few if any of us are. But that doesn't mean these things shouldn't be in an encyclopedia. An officer of general or admiral rank is encyclopedic imho. Adrian~enwiki (talk) 05:59, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Resident Evil 4 (film)

"Please do not remove or change this AfD message until the issue is settled", like it says in the tag, okay? --Calton | Talk 05:56, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment: No. They never officially announced a fourth film, only the possibility of doing one. There's no concrete plans on doing a fourth film and everything in this article is nothing but speculation and gossip. It's the same reason why every single article on Batman Begins 2 gets deleted. Jonny2x4 20:54, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

Keep. Even in the absence of an official announcement, it seems fairly clear that there are well-established and credible plans and expectations for this movie to be done. The article states (I'm assuming truthfully, until someone changes it) that "Producer Paul W. S. Anderson has signed onto the project and may write the script", so obviously there is at least a hypothetical project within the studio for him to sign onto. And if nothing else, it appears that the plans themselves for this movie are notable enough for an article (i.e., the article can be about present plans and verifiable reports instead of about a nonexistent future movie). –Sommers 21:53, 18 February 2006 (UTC)

comment: I might not be able to prove that this article should be kept but I sure may be able to prove why it shouldn't be deleted. This article is sourced. This article respects No Original research policy. This article is a true article not a hoax. This article is suitable of wikipedia. This article passes the test of WP:BIO, WP:MUSIC,WP:FICT because it doesn't fall within those categories. This article doesn't seem to be a copyvio. This is not a category gone awry. This is not a redundant stub or template gone awry. This can definatelly be more than a dictionnary article. (ie.: the addition of various historic military examples, other examples, etc, digrams, images. etc...), this article is not a source text either. Conclusion: This article doesn't need deletion... as per WP:DP it needs {{attention}} or perhaps, because there are already some excellent references and sources, simply some {{cleanup}} and {{stub}} to expand it! I think the nominator should be slaped for failling to notice that there are two collumns in WP:DP. One is delete nomination the other is "Problems that don't require deletion." Hastily jumping into such deletion process has not saved anyone here, any time. Summary:page doesn't seem to violate any deletion policy rules.

Note that Misplaced Pages precedent has already clearly established that songs are, in many cases, notable enough to have their own articles separate from the band that recorded them. Just as a fr'instance, we have articles on My Humps, Around the World, Who I Am Hates Who I've Been, Mr. Brightside, Me Against the Music, El Caminos in the West, The Ketchup Song, Sing for the Moment, Because I Got High, Young Guns (Go For It), Bonzo Goes to Bitburg, Orinoco Flow, Do the Bartman, Rocky Mountain High, Are 'Friends' Electric?, Tangled Up in Blue, Darling, Je Vous Aime Beaucoup, Blood on the Dance Floor, Harlem Shuffle, and that's just picking a few random selections from the dozens of songs filed in subcategories of Category:Songs by year. I'm really not too clear on how "When I'm With You" can possibly be considered some special case of non-notability under the current consensus on song articles.

Comment: It'd be nice of User:CrypticBacon dropped by and explained his reasoning :) . Adrian~enwiki (talk) 05:48, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Comment. We do not have enough content for 2639 to be a stand-alone article. If it redirects to 27th century, the reader/editor will understand this and subsequent edits to significant predicted events in that year will be placed in 27th century, until 2639 grows near enough and/or gains enough information to warrant its own article. I'm a little uncertain why this redirect is considered "implausible". Comments/thoughts? CrypticBacon 07:18, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. It's implausible because there's not a significant demand for information on the year 2369 at this time, and it's unlikely that anyone will get to the target article through the redirect. That said, obviously your edit was in good faith, and I'm not adverse to having it stand, but consensus is running towards deletion, and speedy deletion at that. This is why I hoped you might come by and offer reasons why a redirect would be better than deletion :) Adrian~enwiki (talk) 07:28, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

First off, thank you for realizing the redirect was in good faith. Hypothetical: If the creator of 2639 were to have simply created a redirect, instead of posting a bunch of gibberish, what do you think would have happened? Would it have gone up for AfD or simply been left alone? I venture that if I were to go and created "8675" as a redirect to 87th century, no one would really have a problem with it. Sure, the chance of that redirect being useful is slim, but nonetheless it is a sensible redirect. It's not as if the redirect is misleading or unthruthful. CrypticBacon 08:16, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

All of the above is true. I did say that I wasn't adverse to letting it stand. I still think it's unlikely to get much use, but if it does, then so much the better. Adrian~enwiki (talk) 08:34, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

StillSmallVoice Network - Nottingham, UK

University Christian club. Demonstrates no particular notability outside Nottingham University. FCYTravis 05:20, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Disagree slightly, as it is known around Nottingham (not just the university), and several of the speakers and organisers who have been there are notable in Christian and non-Christian circles at a national - and international in some cases - level. Many are prominent in international political, social justice and fair trade movements also. The scope of the network extends well beyond that of a "Christian club." I haven't yet had the opportunity to provide links for many of the organisations who have been represented by and at the network.

It has further novelty as - to the best of my knowledge - this is the first organisation of it's kind in the UK. A further reason it has been listed is as the name of the society doesn't immediately suggest what it is.

This entry mirrors those of some other UK Christian Student Societies in terms of its notability such as the Christian Union movements, or indeed the entries of churches or their pastors. I'd suggest that it needs to be considered at a similar level as all of them as it is just as arguable that they are not notable outside their immediate cachement area. I'll try and move it to a more appropriate category if someone can tell me how! Any further thoughts? irish_admiral 13:41, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

The same is true of those others I mentioned, and they still appear to be here. Also, as I pointed out, it's more useful for that which it reports about rather than the name of the network itself. Eg. Type in Soul Survivor, Oasis Trust or Tearfund websites into alexa, and I presume they'll get more of a response.irish_admiral 16:36, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Is anyone going to answer my question? Is your criteria purely based on Alexa traffic rankings? irish_admiral 21:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Four external links, zero wikilinks. Advertising, albeit well-meaning. Delete. -- stillnotelf has a talk page 22:00, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Hello? Is this an encyclopaedia or a micropaedia? Is this a discussion page or people just saying things? I can put in at least one current wiki link if it helps... irish_admiral 22:57, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
- Try rewriting it so that it doesn't look like a brochure or advertisement. (I'm not one to harp Alexa rankings, so I can't comment there.) -- stillnotelf has a talk page 23:12, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete. University clubs and their websites aren't inherently notable. AndyJones 20:47, 21 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete per WP:VSCA. Too many external links, sets off my WP:BALLS alarm. Stifle 21:14, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

The result of the debate was redirect to Underwater basket weaving as it's already been merged. - ulayiti (talk) 17:29, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Underwater Basketweaving

Non-notable. Delete. Neutrality 05:21, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment Strange as it sounds, I do hear this referred to quite frequently and have for years. Is there any better place in the Wiki for it to go? --Avery W. Krouse 05:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Delete — I consider it more of a joke than an actual "phenomenon". Perhaps the Uncyclopedia? Kareeser| 05:40, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Move to wiktionary. I've heard this used for many years, too, but I can't see how it could be encyclopedic. Daniel Case 06:48, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge with the correctly capped Underwater basketweaving. --Karnesky 09:45, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
Merge per Karnesky --Ruby 14:15, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I've merged what I consider the only mergeable part, the external link. The rest pretty much duplicates the better article (which is actually at Underwater basket weaving - three words). I'd recommend a redirect at this point and closing of the AfD. Turnstep 00:34, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Patrick Byrne

Delete. Vanity page. Does not meet criteria for notability. Tomstoner 05:25, 19 February 2006 (UTC)

Merge to Overstock.com. Mr. Byrne is not notable outside his involvement with Overstock.com and thus does not deserve his own article. CrypticBacon 05:33, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
