Serafitia[edit]

Hoax, original research, insult page, trollery, take your pick. Google test shows no use of the term in the way the author claims; the nick "Serafitia" is in use on various forums, however; suspect insult page. Unverified and IMO unverifiable. Delete. JRM 00:31, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

  • Delete certainly interesting, and I suspect true in many cases as well, but an encyclopedia just isn't the place for it. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:23, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree, it looks like an insult page, or at the very least, a neologism. foobaz·✐ 02:28, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • An overblown analysis of some Web term or nickname or whatever. Wikipedia is not a Web guide. Delete. --Slowking Man 02:29, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, My head hurts. Inter 11:57, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete silliness. There may be an article hiding in some of this on a more general topic, and I would welcome it, but this looks like an attack on an individual. -- Jmabel | Talk 21:57, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

Comodephobia[edit]

Dictdef, but I doubt wiktionary wants such a neologism, so delete. --fvw* 00:45, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

  • Looks like a copyvio, to me, but zero Google hits for the word, let alone this definition. Non-notable phobia, nonsense. Delete. RickK 00:46, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

Chicken Madras[edit]

While it sounds very nice; yet another recipe to transwiki to the cookbook.. Sc147 00:50, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • I don't know where the discussion went, and why the other edits don't show up in the history, but I found "Chicken Madras --> Wikibooks. Gentgeen 11:11, 21 Apr 2004 (UTC)"here, and " 03:05, 25 Apr 2004 Cecropia deleted "Chicken Madras" (deleted per consensus; now in cookbook)" here (I was having major deja vu). Niteowlneils 03:24, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Wikicookbook Gazpacho 02:57, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep in Wikipedia, consider as a stub and improve the article. We should not delete stub, that prevent them from growing. SweetLittleFluffyThing
    • It's a recipe. It doesn't belong in the main encyclopaedia. Has very little potential for growth. Megan1967 22:47, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki recipe, Keep stub article. -CunningLinguist 12:34, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Slubbing[edit]

Dictdef, neologism. --fvw* 00:56, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

  • Delete. Clym 00:59, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Neologism, nonsense. RickK 01:01, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. According to Merriam-Webster, "slub" is a transitive verb meaning "to draw out and twist (as slivers of wool) slightly". It also lists the noun "slubbing" as a synonym for "roving". Needless to say, this article has nothing to do with either. JRM 01:03, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)
  • Delete. I agree completely with the previous explanations. — Pt (T) 01:14, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Slubbing is a word [2] [3] --sp00n17 01:35, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
    Yes, it is, as I just pointed out. Confounding is also a word. We have no article on confounding or confound because wikipedia is not a dictionary. If you think you can write an encyclopedic article on "drawing out and twisting slivers of wool", please do so. JRM 01:51, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

Not notable. --fvw* 01:22, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

Derelict[edit]

dicdef. Sc147 01:29, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. I'd say Transwiki to Wiktionary, but this is copied verbatim from the 1913 Webster's, and if I'm not mistaken, Wiktionary has explicit policies against parroting other dictionaries, even if they're PD. (Furthermore, it lists the legal definition in Webster's, see here.) JRM 01:38, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

Lalaland[edit]

neol. dicdef. (btw, there seems to be quite a rich vein of articles that need cleanup, deletion, etc at Special:Deadendpages, hence my several vfd entries tonight). Sc147 02:09, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, dictionary definition, neologism. Megan1967 02:32, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • I've been familiar with this expression for nearly 4 decades so it cannot be considered a neologism. Can easily form the basis of a good article. Keep. --Centauri 06:16, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Transwiki to Wiktionary. Not a neologism, but still a dictdef. I don't see how it could turn into anything encyclopedic, though I'm open to convincing. —Korath (Talk) 06:23, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
    • But merge with la-la land first, and send them both (as the latter). —Korath (Talk) 06:27, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge and redirect to la-la land. Grue 19:03, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • If kept, lalaland (~41,200 Google hits) should really be merged into la-la land (~202,000), not from it. —Korath (Talk) 01:38, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
      • Okay, I changed my vote. Grue 07:18, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete/tranwiki both if not expanded, but if kept, I think a better title is La-la Land or La-La Land, as it's a place, in theory, though not an existing one. -R. fiend 04:41, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Apparent attempt to find out about somebody. Searching Google gives no results. I wish it was possible to speedy this sort of thing. --Carnildo 05:41, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Doesn't appear to be notable. Article is pure advertising anyhow. Xezbeth 06:44, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)

  • Clean up. I suggest: Decide considering the best rated poll option, decision to be valid until this or another poll type (ex.undelete poll) says otherwise, min_voters 5 in 1 day Iasson 08:13, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Please discuss Vfd policy on talk or elsewhere. Further out of process comments of this kind on the main VfD page will be deleted. sjorford 22:22, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Vfd policy does not define the decision rule to be followed in order to extract the result , so I think I am allowed to suggest one until Vfd policy clearly defines a rule. In the other hand Vfd policy prohibits the deletion of votes. You have just deleted my vote, so you are against policy. Please dont do it again. Thank you Iasson 07:21, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

List of religious leaders in 1741[edit]

This is not what it purports to be, (a list) but a single entry. I don't see any reason to have a list of religious leaders from each year in history, so I believe this page is unecessary. ÅrУnT†∈ 02:59, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • I think if we had an actual list like this, it would be great. Even if this was the only year we covered, it'd be good. Unfortunately this is rather weak. The originator of the article could at least have named the pope at the time. I suppose I'll go and do that. Marginal keep, just to encourage the creation of a real list.

You make a point, but I think a page for every year is excessive. by century, or even by decade would constitute more of an actual list since religious leaders are often the same for many years. Perhaps a change to List of religious leaders in the 1700s or 1740s would be appropriate? Awaiting concensus. ÅrУnT†∈ 08:34, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I agree, no need to make a list entry for every single year. I think one for the 1700s and so on with sections for each decade would suffice. Mgm|(talk) 08:48, Jan 19, 2005 (UTC)
Yes, that might be better; perhaps start out with centuries and then move to individual articles on decades if the list really fills up. Everyking 08:49, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep. Not isolated, but part of a project. Samaritan 20:44, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete, cumbersome. If allowed this would set a precedent of allowing religious leaders for every year to be created and I dont think that is either practical nor necessary, even State leaders by year was a bad idea to begin with. What's wrong with simply having just a List of religious leaders? Unlike state leaders, religious leaders aren't in and out of power that often, so many years would be repetitive. Megan1967 23:56, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep now, but as nominated it was a delete. I've formatted it as specified by the wikiproject and removed Edwards, who shouldn't have been on the list. Now it's back to having a single name, but hopefully it will grow. This project has been languishing of late. -R. fiend 23:47, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Strong keep. Extremely useful. Ambi 01:32, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete or Merge by different sort. I'll go against the crowd here and say theres no reason for something like this sorted by year. By decade, alright, but having one year out of the entire eighteenth century and it having only one entry seems pretty useless and the other pages by year are just as bare. I agree with Megan above, religious leaders tend to stick around for much longer periods. K1Bond007 07:52, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This seems dumb. What is notable about the state of world-wide religion in 1741 that we need a list of the religious leaders in that particular year. Even dumber would be to add a few thousand articles to the Wikipedia with the list of religious leaders in each year. The list for Y would generally be nearly identical, if not actually identical, to Y-1, because religions don't change their leaders frequently. Anyway, why would anyone ever need/want to know who all the religious leaders in the world were in a particular year. Lists like this just make Wikipedia seem stupid, and diminish its authority. In one of Jorge Borges' stories, there is a hilarious list of "lists", including Objects that from a long way off look like flies. I'm expecting to see that as an article on Wikipedia any day now. --BM 13:43, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I've come to think it could be a good point of reference if one was doing research on religion, but yes, a list for every year does seem excessive. ÅrУnT†∈ 22:50, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. --JuntungWu 11:06, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, obviously. Neutralitytalk 22:36, Jan 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. At first blush, tracking religious or political leaders by year over a period of many centuries seems like vast overkill, but people have actually been obsessive-compulsive enough to do it pretty thoroughly for the heads of state/government, so why not for religious leaders as well?

The Sheep Shagger[edit]

An undergraduate newspaper at a college is rarely notable. No evidence is supplied to indicate that this particular one is. At best this would be a note in Jesus College, Oxford. (And — Lo! — what do we find to be already at Jesus College, Oxford#The_Welsh_connection?) The epithet (calling it a "title" is somewhat of a misnomer) is hardly notable, either. It doesn't just apply to the Welsh. (I've heard it used of several agrarian communities.) And I doubt that an article on it could ever be significantly more than the relatively self-explanatory dictionary definition ("one who shags sheep"). Uncle G 17:33, 2005 Jan 19 (UTC)

  • To my mind, a printed newspaper in the English language (nothing ethnic there, just en. versus other namespaces, and major papers in other languages should absolutely be here) is real, hard and pretty likely to pass the notability bar - for campus media, at the very least for a merge and redirect. I was still about to vote delete as unverifiable, but by its correct name, The Sheepshagger, it checks out. Indeed, it's the newspaper of Jesus College, Oxford and is cited on three official college Admissions pages. The college is eminent but small, so borderline keep or strong redirect (there's nothing yet to merge) from The Sheepshagger to Jesus College, Oxford. Samaritan 19:49, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • You didn't need to Google. I pointed out where it was mentioned in Jesus College, Oxford. As I said, my opinion was that it didn't warrant an article, merely a note in Jesus College, Oxford.

    • Incidentally: The Sheep Shagger refers to the newspaper as a Scandal Sheet. (Indeed, it refers to it as a Scandal Sheet.) Having been involved in such publications when I was at university (I'm actually using the same pseudonym here as I used to use all of those years ago.) I can assure you that they are not automatically notable, by a long chalk. (I offer as evidence for this the fact that no-one has come forward and said "I remember Uncle G! You're —".) Being intra-mural gossip, they do tend to fall foul of exception #6, being only of interest to a very small group: the other members of the college at the time. Uncle G 19:08, 2005 Jan 20 (UTC)

Johnubiprasad[edit]

I am sorry!The supposed vandalism occured because I accidentally pressed the wrong button while trying to answer Frederik's comments.I ultimately ended up sending him a message.Please check every name that I have included like AP Mitra,Gopalan,Ramalingaswami,Narasimha,Menon,Seshadri and others.You would not find anything dubious.And google is a very poor guide to assess the importance of a scientist's work.I doubt you would find anything notable in the google if you search Yellapragada Subba Rao but he remains a giant(incidentally I included his name.)Google would not tell you much about JC Bose's prior discovery of wireless.He was an unassuming man.How many would know that Zuse was the discoverer of modern computers.And would it surprise wikipedians if I was to say the Television was patented in the 19th century.The discovere remains obscure.I obtained all this informaton from the reference I have cited.Incidentally the inventor of television is named there and I leave it to the wikipedians to find it out and see if he merits inclusion!I must admit I am partial to Ramalingaswami and Johnubi as they taught me and Johnubi's discovery that sodium valproate is a mood stabilizer when it was believed for over 50 years that lithium was the only option has benifitted someone close to me personally as it has done millions.Please go through the book and see for yourself if any of the 1000 named there are without any merit.I admit Johnubi is not as well known as he desrves because he gave up science at an early age after having published Biological Basis and therapy of neuroses again a masterpiece which established that neuroses also had a biological basis.I guess I have made the point.It is upto wikipedians to decide whether Johnubi,Zuse and yellapragad merit inclusion. Hi I am a Wikipedian and I had created the article on Johnubiprasad.It is ceratinly not anonymous!Let Frederik have his way but please check in the book if the information is correct beforw deciding to delete.Johnubi was my teacher as was Ramalingaswami whose page I was hoping to create along with Mriganka Sur's.My request is to check the information in the book before voting;should be easy enough!John Connolly,Canada

PS By the way it would not matter to Johnubi who has left science over 15 years ago.He is a recluse now.But I would expect objectivity from Wikipedians.

I have been through the book TOP 1000 SCIENTISTS FROM THE BEGINNING OF TIME TO 2000 AD by Philip Barker.It is in the MIT Library where I am based.The name certainly does not seem familiar but it is there in the book.However,I think I would need to contact the author of the book for further details.Until such time,I suppose it may be a wise policy to exclude the name.Perhaps others might want to peruse the book themselves to see what they make of it.

Bruno Frey[edit]

The CV link makes me suspect that this is vanity. -Aranel ("Sarah") 21:09, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC

  • To the contrary, the CV suggests that he is a very distinguished contemporary economist (with two honorary doctorates), probably on of the most distinguished ones in his country. Obvious Keep. Martg76 23:04, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • He does seem to be pretty well-known based on Google results. I wasn't able to load the PDF to check (can't we link to the site from which the PDF is linked?). This was not at all obvious based on the text of the article I first saw; the current article looks much less suspicious. -Aranel ("Sarah") 00:05, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)

    • Have now fleshed out the article. Frey is known within economic circles for his critique of Homo economicus and his writings on other forms of motivation. He was one of ten experts selected for the Copenhagen Consensus. As three of the other panellists hd won the Nobel Prize for Economics, it was a high powered panel. He has edited the Kyklos political ecoomy journal since 1969 nd has been a professor at Zurich since 1977. He is a Research Director at the Center for Research in Economics, Management and the Arts in Switzerland. If you consider the 12 books and over 350 articles this man has an international reputation as an economist. Capitalistroadster 05:00, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as he's a full professor at a good university, with several books and over 350 journal publications to his name. Although professor appears to be one of the few positions we set some requirement for, if he was an actor or a member of a band it would appear he'd automatically get an article. Or a pokemon character of course. Appearing for ten seconds in a badly drawn Japanese cartoon is clearly so much more important than being an Economics professor in Zurich (where I suspect they take their economics pretty seriously).

  • Strongest possible Keep. Seriously, if a Research Director that has written more than a dozen books (translated into at least eight languages) and 350 journal articles, been the editor of a peer reviewed scientific journal for 35 years and holds two honorary doctorates is not notable enough for Wikipedia, we have some major deleting to do.

South Hall[edit]

Oldest building on campus. That doesn't seem notable enough to me. --LeeHunter 23:39, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • This is a tough one. Certainly, the university is notable, but is this individual building? There's nothing I see in the article which makes me think it is. Perhaps there are significant events which happened here which made it notable, but if so, somebody's got to put them in the article to make it worthwhile. The age of the building isn't enough in my mind; it's worthy of a mention in the main university article (I assume there is one), but that's about it. The link to Sather Tower makes me wonder if somebody is thinking of writing articles for each and every building on campus. I'm going to call this a Weak Delete. --RoySmith 00:51, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Information seems accurate. Plenty of room for this to grow. Seems roughly parallel to Sather Tower, which started off quite similar but has developed into a nice article. - Jpo 01:05, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, seems verifiable. - SimonP 01:04, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable building. --Centauri 02:12, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge anything useful into the campus article. No redirect, as I'm sure this isn't the only "South Hall" in the world by a long shot. -R. fiend 04:32, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with campus article. It's a nice building, but not especially notable. Sure, do articles on Bancroft Library, Sather Tower, Sproul Plaza, and maybe even Gilman Hall (in 1941, plutonium was first identified as an element in Room 307, and the room was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1966 [6]), but South Hall? Nah. --Calton 11:12, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge, no redirect as it is definitely not the most famous South Hall by a significant margin. If it is notable, what is it notable for? Average Earthman 16:35, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
Just out of curiosity, which South Hall is the most famous? --RoySmith 16:44, 20 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, definitely the University of Wisconsin's South Hall, built in 1854, making it nineteen years senior to the California parvenu, yet only the second oldest building on the historic UW campus. (North Hall is the oldest). South Hall is the headquarters of the College of Letters and Science, a fabulous and colossal entity larger than many other entire universities, proudly boasting thirty-nine (39) top-notch departments and five (5) first-rate professional schools. South Hall is strategically located on the lovely glacial drumlin known as Bascom Hill, within a short distance of the famous Statue of Lincoln and the historic Sifting and Winnowing plaque. In springtime, the grounds surrounding the building afford excellent views of attractive young women disporting themselves on the green lawn. A firebombing during the era of campus protest thankfully left no visible scars on this elegant structure (apart from security mesh on the first-floor windows). Go Badgers!

    • It's more the significant bit than whether it's the most famous or not. I'm happy with, say, Winter Palace pointing to the building in St Petersburg rather than any other Winter Palace, as it is significantly the most famous. Where there isn't a clear front runner in the notability stakes, we probably shouldn't hand out the title on a first come first served basis. Average Earthman 21:10, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Merge and delete. There's lots of space for short notes about buildings on the University's own page right now. If the article does remain, it should be moved to South Hall (University of California) or something similar--a quick Googling reveals that Tufts University, the University of Arizona, Marquette University, and many others have their own South Halls. --TenOfAllTrades 04:31, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Gamaliel 16:17, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Some time during VfD this gem was somehow transformed into an article about a middle school in Georgia. Delete on the university building and strong delete on the middle school and its dress code. Szyslak 03:40, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • Wow, that's bizarre. Unfortunately, I don't think either of them is notable, so my vote is still to delete (note: don't double-count this, my real vote is above). --RoySmith 03:48, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
      • Update: Now it's an article about the London neighborhood of Southall, which has its own article. This article's like an extra Random Page button. There seems to be some stuff worth merging into the real Southall article, so we might want to do that before this article's deleted. Szyslak 20:38, 22 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete this schizophrenic mess. Jayjg | (Talk) 01:07, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    • The current version ought to be merged into Southall, which is a bit stubby right now, and the UC Berkeley version into that article. --Calton 02:47, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  • Process Issue. The Southall version rv-ed, as a fork and simply an impediment to the VfD under consideration. (Yes, merge the Southall material into Southall, and if its advocates want South Hall as a redirect (or maybe someday a Dab if a worthy South Hall comes along) they can ask for it after this VfD completes.
The middle-school one also rv-ed, as this title is not suitable for it. (Write an article like South Hall Middle School if you really have nothing better to do, and that will get its own day on VfD.)
The question at hand is whether UC's South Hall should have an article, and others for which this name is not the ideal one are irrelevant to that discussion. There is such a thing as a "save" on VfD, a rewrite that turns a deletable article into a keeper, but that requires a rewrite that deserves exactly the title under consideration; articles that might want or deserve redirect or Dab-link from it need not apply.

  • Delete. No evidence that the UC South Hall (already under this title upon VfD) is notable, and the others don't belong under this title (either) and are therefore not eligible as rewrites to "save" it. --Jerzy(t) 03:29 & 03:37, 2005 Jan 24 (UTC)
  • Keep. Wikipedia is not paper. Allow this article the opportunity for organic growth. GRider\talk 19:23, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PEBCAK[edit]

Has been listed for move to Wiktionary, but this is not a dictdef, it's nonsense. RickK 09:41, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)

  • It's not nonsense; it's a simple variation on PEBKAC. Redirect. Uncle G 10:56, 2005 Jan 20 (UTC)
  • I didn't know the page PEBKAC existed. I have redirected it to that page. abelson 15:16, Jan 20, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge anything useable to PEBKAC and add redirect. Megan1967 03:00, 21 Jan 2005 (UTC)
