  • Posh Spice Takes it Up the Arse and Who ate all the pies are short notes on British soccer chants. At best merge into a single Soccer chants page. Bmills 15:42, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. First is offensive and should not be a title of an article, but it can be in a soccer chants article (no redirect). The latter could also be merged, I also slightly favor no redirect as well since articles on every chant/slogan will make searches for material including words more difficult. Navigating from Soccer to Soccer chants or whatever is easy. Daniel Quinlan 17:59, Nov 26, 2003 (UTC)
    • The former I redirected to Victoria Beckham, and listed on wikipedia:redirects for deletion (bearing Daniel's comments in mind). No opinion on latter. Martin 21:21, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • First is offensive as a title. A page on chants linked to and from soccer makes sense. I've tried to improve it a bit now with a few links. Keep the chants page now. seglea 22:41, 26 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, put slogan into appropriate article. Delete the redirects too. Fuzheado 09:04, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • These chants are part of football culture and therefore valid. Although potentially offensive as a title in its own right, I think the article itself shows that it is a serious piece of work. Given that wikipedia has all sorts of articles you could class as offensive, I can't see why these ones have been singled out.(comment written by article author Astrotrain)
      • How can an article simply about the chant ever become substantial? Surely it would be better to write about it in the context of the long and varied story of David and Victoria Beckham - otherwise it just seems a tiny article on a childish chant that got sung at Man U games from about two seasons. (I write this because I notice you undid the redirect that Martin put in). Pete 17:02, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
      • Regardless of the title, I cannot see how it is encyclopedic to cover them individually. A single chants page would make a better and more useful article. Plus, I believe the VfD notification should remain until a consensus is achieved. Bmills 16:57, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
      • Incorporate both in one soccer chant page to rule them all, delete the redirects. orthogonal 04:04, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Whether as articles or redirects, keep, for information on authorship (required by the GFDL), to enable people to find the content easily, and to prevent later editors from inadvertently adding the same content again. -- Oliver P. 09:00, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • Authorship isn't an issue, because the information moved out of that article amounts to a couple of sentences. Can't we just ensure they aren't copies, as the same way as we would when basing a couple of sentences on a copyrighted source? Onebyone 13:29, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • There are other ways to keep the page history in order to retain authorship such as moving the page to Talk:Football chant/page history for example. I think both should be redirected to Football chant. Angela 21:45, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Redirect. Does anybody dispute that these are genuine soccer chants?JackLynch 20:49, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Even if the authorship question is not an issue, or can be worked around, I think my second and third points are still valid. A fourth point: keeping them allows people to link the chants directly in future, without having to search for where the content on them is. A fifth point: if people would just merge and redirect these sorts of things when they came up, it would save a lot of space on Vfd. A sixth point: I've added some content to Who ate all the pies? that relates to the chant but not to football chants in general, so merging would be a bit silly now! -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • In a purely academic fashion, I note that an article on football chants in general might have sections on particular chants, and that the extra information is no bar to merging these articles in such a fashion. -- Cyan 03:33, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Church of Jesus Christ Elvis. The article itself says it's only one website. And the article's wording is pretty unclear about its subject matter. RickK 06:25, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Anjouli 08:12, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • I recall seeing a documentary (unfortunately cannot remember where and when) about how some Elvis fans do regard Elvis as a messianic figure. I have also met a person who claimed to have been a bishop of the "church of Elvis". How serious the would-be "worshippers" are, may be of course hard to discern. Maybe this could be added to the Elvis article - Skysmith 10:29, 27 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • Possibly worth an article in (apparently) tongue-in-cheek beliefs, as, for example, (early) Brianism? orthogonal 04:04, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • I actually read an article a few years ago on how Elvis has become a new religious icon. The experts said that all the early signs of messiahhood and legend are showing up by now. This is real, folks. Keep. Wiwaxia 10:41, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete - church is just a joke. Daniel Quinlan 17:08, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)

November 28

  • Vijayashanker Paramsothy - a September 11 victim...or are these moved somewhere? Adam Bishop 04:50, 28 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • They are being collected here, perhaps the article in question should be moved.
    • http://sep11.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tributes_to_individuals
    • Move to sep11 wikipedia and delete. I hate voting to delete these. Daniel Quinlan 17:08, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
      • Then vote to keep them. ;) This article is referenced, so the material is verifiable. If it's good enough for the New York Times, it's good enough for us... -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete after moving to sept11 wiki. Maximus Rex 02:58, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • As Oliver said, this article is referenced, so the material is verifiable. Moreover, the standard complaint that the person being listed played no active part in history is not true in the case of this person. --The Cunctator 13:20, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, non-famous. --Jiang|(Talk)
  • Christoffer Carstanjen - sept 11th victim - needs moving to memorial wiki. Secretlondon 19:18, Nov 28, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, agree with Secretlondon. Daniel Quinlan 17:08, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete after moving to sept11 wiki. Maximus Rex 02:58, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. This article is referenced, so the material is verifiable. -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Davodd 09:45, Dec 5, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, non-famous. --Jiang|(Talk)

November 30

  • Catarrhini, what's this? --Yacht 04:34, Nov 30, 2003 (UTC)
    • -yes, this needs to go - it cuts across the hierarchical series on the order Primates. Could be useful as a page that just redirects into that hierarchy I suppose. seglea 04:41, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • I'd say keep if some information can be found to put in it. The fact that it doesn't fit modern ideas of how to do taxonomy doesn't mean that its historical use as a classification isn't significant. Onebyone 00:12, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • It's got a bit of information in it. I think it counts as a stub. -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • List of men's magazines, is this redundant topic needed? We already have List of magazines which does a better job. Davodd 13:47, Nov 30, 2003 (UTC)
    • These are all 'adult' magazines. It probably wants renaming. Secretlondon 13:50, Nov 30, 2003 (UTC)
    • I not entirely sure what a 'lesbian man' is, which seems to have been given a position on this list! Move to list of pornographic magazines for men, perhaps. 80.255 14:22, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
    • FHM isn't pornographic. Martin 19:15, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
      • That would depend on how you choose to define pornography. It certainly contains material I would consider to be approaching it. 80.255 19:19, 30 Nov 2003 (UTC)
      • I agree. Maxim and UMM aren't pornographic either. The entry for Maxim specifically says the magazine contains no nudity -- it may be a lot of things, but I think no nudity = not pornography. Men's magazines is probably the best umbrella to put these under, though maybe the magazines that are actually pornographic should be moved to a separate list. -- Tlotoxl 04:26, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • And even if contains nudity that does not mean that is pornographic. Remeber the calendar of the 2000 Summer Olypimcs with the naked athletes? Thats not porn! Muriel Victoria 13:44, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. I dont see any problem with this one :) Muriel Victoria 13:42, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. List of magazines is too long as it is. jengod 19:18, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • we have list of women's magazines but it does not focus on pornographic ones. I dont know if this shows inconsistency between the two magazines. Alexandros
    • This is a recognised category of magazines, so keep. -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

December 1

  • WTO Fighting of 1999- not saying I disgree with it, but somewhat POV to say the least... quercus robur 00:24, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Edit for NPOV and merge somewhere else. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Merge into Anti-globalization_movement#Seattle and keep as redirect. Onebyone 00:33, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Agree. Keep and merge. Anjouli 05:25, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Merge. I attempted an NPOV edit, in particular noting that much of this was criminal activities, but it needs major reworking. -- Pakaran 05:57, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete (no redirect) and merge content as suggested above. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Tim Gabuna. The director of dormitories at a university deserves an encyclopedia article? RickK 03:12, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, clearly neither famous nor important. Maximus Rex 04:46, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Anjouli 05:26, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Not sure, but it is linked to Ateneo Cervini-Eliazo Network Team which sounds somewhat notable. However it may be considered up for deletion too, if ACENT is kept Gabuna should be unlinked. Just an alternative pov Dysprosia 11:12, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I think the man and his dormitory management company should go. It's trivial. Secretlondon 16:58, Dec 1, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete - Marshman 17:44, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Decretage can't find any non-Boyer reference ie [1], perhaps another surrealism technique known only to Boyer? Maximus Rex 04:40, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Does seem to be a term coined by Boyer. May enter the language, but not there yet. Anjouli 05:37, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • Decretage is not "coined by Boyer." It was invented, and the term coined, by Sasha Vlad. --Daniel C. Boyer 15:27, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Google search for Sasha Vlad (putative coiner of the term) + Decretage turns up nothing so cannot be verified unless a print source is provided. Bmills 11:49, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Boyer should move to a personal subpage until someone else can confirm that this technique exists. If he doesn't choose to, then delete. --Pakaran 16:44, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Del. --Wik 17:26, Dec 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Competitive Feasting and the Evolution of Power in Mesoamerica - a while back an undergraduate class added some essays about Mesoamerica subjects to wikipedia. Most have been integrated into articles. This one never has been, and IMO isn't worth keeping. -- Infrogmation 04:47, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Unless somebody is prepared to re-work it and put it in the proper place. Some content, but a bit long-winded. Anjouli 05:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, at least until someone has filetted it for useful information. Onebyone 11:39, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Original research/essay, etc. Not encyclopedic. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, school essay / original research. Maximus Rex 03:02, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • How_to_cook_dandelions Seems odd as an independant article. Shouldn't this be merged into dandelions or cooking or something similar? Mrdice 11:03, 2003 Dec 1 (UTC)
    • Do not move to Dandelions. Recipes should not be part of the plant descriptions (image the problems with real popular vegetables like beans)! I think it belongs on a cooking page. Maybe I can move it over to Wikibooks. I think there is a cook book there? - Marshman 17:43, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Move to WikiBooks Cookbook. jengod 19:18, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • There are lots of other recipes here, I believe the policy is to keep such things. Maximus Rex 03:02, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Two-letter English word - lets move this to the Wiktonary - please. Muriel Victoria 16:43, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • I like this actually. It is more than dictionary definitions. Secretlondon 16:58, Dec 1, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep - Marshman 17:40, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. definitely a reference for scrabble players. In fact, it is a see also on the scrabble article. Kingturtle 19:27, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. This was previously discussed on the talk page (Feb 2003). Martin 18:58, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, move to cookbook, delete of this title is okay by me. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Roy_Edward_Disney_Resigns - source text of his resignation letter. Secretlondon 16:49, Dec 1, 2003 (UTC)
    • To Wikisource if no copyright problems; definitely doesn't belong here. - Hephaestos 16:52, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • An open letter of this sort isn't a copyright problem - the non-infringing uses are broader than and include those allowed by the GFDL. Jamesday 21:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Oooooo that was a great letter! The article in question must be deleted, but the letter MUST be summarized on the disney article, the eisner article, etc. Kingturtle 19:35, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep here (and copy to Wikisource in addition to the copy here). Needs an introduction to make it an article but this is an example of the sort of small amount of text about a major media company and major US industry which does belong in the Wikipedia in its entirety. Section 4 is key to its importance and the full context matters. Section 4 merits citing in many of our articles on the entertainment businesses and copyright, for it, correctly IMO, identifies the problem the RIAA and others are failing to deal with. Jamesday 21:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • I don't agree with that last part - citing one guy's opinion over and over in many articles will make use look like we're primarily interested in corp-bashing. And delete. Onebyone 11:00, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. This already exists at Wikisource. Wikipedia is not a place for source texts. Angela 23:41, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete source text. RickK 01:34, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete since it's source text. Additionally, we don't need an article dedicated to one man's resignation. His resignation is already mentioned in Roy Disney. --Minesweeper 08:40, Dec 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, source text. Maximus Rex 14:47, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, source. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • KiAi - moved from VfD to Cleanup. nothing was done with it during that time. please delete. Kingturtle 19:42, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC) P.S. I placed this on VfD about a month ago, because I see it as merely a dictionary definition. And I don't see it ever being more than that. Kingturtle
    • Delete fine with me. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • Each deletion request should be accompanied by a reason why you think the page should be deleted. This looks like a valid stub to me. -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Polylogic Computing - This appears to be idiosyncratic: try a Google search for "Polylogic Computing". Karada 20:37, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Idiosyncratic content. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, idiosyncratic. Maximus Rex 03:02, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Vampire Watermelon -- if the title doesn't say it all to you, a google search for vampire + watermelon leads to some amusing sites but nothing describing these apparently foul figments of a user's imagination. An excellent nominee for BJAODN though, in whatever form BJAODN has taken. Jwrosenzweig 21:06, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • You realize, this is all true. Delete it anyways. -- Smerdis of Tlön 21:37, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Content can be moved to a better location, but under this title, it is unverifiable and POV. Daniel Quinlan 21:38, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. As strange as it sounds, it's probably true. A quote from [2]:
According to The Vampire Encyclopedia by Matthew Bunson (Crown Trade Paperbacks, 1993), Moslem Gypsies in the Balkan countries believed that if pumpkins or watermelons were kept longer than ten days after Christmas they would come alive. First a drop of blood would appear on them. Then they would roll on the ground, growl, and become streaked with blood.


Another quote from a different site:
Even inanimate objects and animals were thought to be able to become vampires: pumpkins, watermelons and other fruit that was left out past a certain amount of time, latches that were left unlatched too long, dogs, horses, sheep and snakes are among the objects with vampiric potential in older superstitions of the Slavic gypsy community.
And Terry Pratchett also says he didn't make it up: [3], scroll down to entry for p. 150. - Sandman 19:02, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, unless User:Sandman is also making it up as he goes along. Onebyone 12:54, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, unless somebody can prove the above sources wrong, Amazing stuff!JackLynch 21:02, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Davodd 06:19, Dec 5, 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Free-software-song.au -- accidentally uploaded. I was testing some MediaWiki upload features and updating Antonio Carlos Jobim at the same time, and I typed in the wrong window and... ugh. I'm not actually sure of the copyright info on the Free Software song -- it's fairly widely distributed -- but this should be deleted if only because it's an unused orphan. --ESP 21:33, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • The Village. I can't work out what this is. Maybe someone else can. It's been on cleanup for a long time. DJ Clayworth 23:30, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. It's source text by George Crabbe. Maximus Rex 23:34, 1 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep, I've deleted source text and took article in different direction -- The Village in The Prisoner. Fuzheado 00:07, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Move it all into the article The Prisoner. Hardly a good "use" of the term "village" - Marshman 08:50, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • The Village is indeed already described in The Prisoner article. However, I disagree that the term is somehow wasted on the reference in The Prisoner. We have pages on far less significant topics. Fuzheado 14:28, 2 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • True, but usually not with such common words as "village". Now every Google search for some Named Village will present this as one result unless confined in quotes - Marshman
          • I can see that sometimes it's worth taking account of google searches, but in this case I don't think we should allow ourselves to be swayed by the results of incompetent google searches. The article should be kept or deleted on its own merits - if it's worth having, then it's worth having even though it sometimes gives a false hit on some google searches. Onebyone 13:05, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep due to effort by various people. Onebyone 13:07, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Drop into The Prisoner. Not worth its own entry.

  • Dream resume - claims to be part of the surrealist movement, but no reference from that page. Info is scanty and incoherent, and contains a link to a dead Geocities page. --zandperl 01:21, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • We should at least search for some clarification on standards rather than make up rules on a case-by-case basis to exclude things we don't like. Is our analysis of citations going to include what links on the page are, and whether they're live now? Or is this just going to be employed when it comes to surrealist techniques, looking for any excuse (not applied to other pages) to delete them? --Daniel C. Boyer 16:26, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • I didn't VfD this b/c it was related to surrealism. I found it through the Wikipedia:Most_wanted_stubs page (it's not listed there currently as the VfD boilerplate makes it too long for the stub limit) and only afterwards realized there was debate going on on the surrealism page. --zandperl 12:15, 4 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Link worked for me and concept seems to have some validity. Suggest merging into the Surrealist techniques page. By the way, something odd about the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion link on the Dream resume page. Was it copied from the new boilerplate? When I clicked it, it opened VfD Dec 2 for editing. Bmills 09:12, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. I get no hits for "Dream resume" + surrealism OR surrealist. Clearly it's not some important 'surrealist technique' if Google can't find it, so I am against merging it into surrealist techniques, which is already full of 'techniques' of questionable validity. Maximus Rex 09:18, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • It is absolutely untrue that the surrealist techniques page is "full of 'techniques' of questionable validity." I would challenge you to list which techniques are so and the reasons why. --Daniel C. Boyer 16:26, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • Deeply reluctant to go too far into this, but a couple of points. First, given that the Surrealist techniques page exists, it seems pointless to create individual pages for each technique. Second, a point on the content of the Surrealist techniques page in a field in which I happen to have some small knowledge. George Yeats (wife of W. B.) was a gifted linguist, not 'barely literate' and Yeats' A Vision is not a poem. Admittedly they did both dabble in automatic writing, but I think there are better examples you could come up with. And are you claiming Yeats as a surrealist? Or is this not just a surrealist technique? The Surrealist techniques article would be much stronger if detailed, documented examples created by surrealists were given for each technique. Bmills 16:45, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • Well since you asked, a good example of a questionable technique listed on the surrealist techniques page is the 'mimmeogram' technique. A google search for sites that don't reference wikipedia or boyer, brings no hits for a surrealist technique. The hits it does return are actually related to another and older use of 'mimeogram' to mean that which is produced by a mimeograph (logical, no?). So not only is 'mimeogram' another surrealist technique that only Boyer seems to be aware of, it is also one that is ambiguous.
          • Please explain to me how it is "ambiguous". --Daniel C. Boyer 23:30, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • And I already know what your reply will be 'I didn't invent the mimeogram technique, Peneloped Rosemont did', which was your excuse when I listed the standalone 'mimeogram' article on vfd a couple of months ago. Maximus Rex 17:35, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
          • Did you ever hear of reading books? Over and over and over again I have cited Penelope Rosemont's book in which mimeogram is defined, and I have also cited an online review of it in which mimeogram is mentioned. "I didn't invent the mimeogram technique, Peneloped [sic] Rosemont did" is not an excuse, it is a fact, a fact that I have already proven. --Daniel C. Boyer 18:42, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
        • Unfortunately, the kind of schoolboy holwers I identified re Gorge and W. B. Yeats will tend to call the accuracy of the entire article into question, and will certainly call the reputation of Wikipedia into question if read by anyone with the least knowledge of Yeats' work. Again, I suggest that Dream resume be merged with Surrealist techniques. I've corrected the Yeats-related factual errors and will try to do some more research on the whole article.

  • Santorum
    • Disambiguation page recently undeleted after several people supported such an action at Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion. Discussion can be found at Talk:Santorum. My opinion is that it should be kept, by the way. -- Oliver P. 10:21, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • If that is so, it is only due to the persistence of a few people. Daniel Quinlan 15:52, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
        • I think the problem here is that very few people look at Votes for undeletion compared with Votes for deletion. Therefore the "bloody-minded" and others can push through what the community clearly voted to delete. This just wastes everybody's time. Secretlondon 15:57, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
        • Not to start a ruckus or anything, but it was also the persistence of a few people that kept the term out of the Rick Santorum article, where it probably most logically belonged (in NPOV language of course). This term is not lacking in currency; I for instance learned about it neither from Savage's column nor from Wikipedia. And it quite passes the "Google test"; a search on santorum lube results in 1,350 hits. - Hephaestos 16:09, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep the disambig. -- John Owens 11:04, 2003 Dec 3 (UTC)
    • Is the sexual reference actually used by anyone? It's not really a disambiguation as both references refer to the same person. Secretlondon 11:06, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. To me it makes more sense to have Rick Santorum mention and link to Dan Savage, which already links to the R.S. page. How can you disambiguate someone from themselves? Bmills 11:14, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. Santorum in the sexual meaning is used by a small segment of the population and should be kept just like the entries on erotic humiliation, sexual bondage, and erotic spanking, all of which are sexual practices used by only a small segment of the population. If desired, we can put some boilerplate saying it is a new use of the term (does said boilerplate exist?). --zandperl 12:51, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • No, it isn't "just like" those other entries. I bet dollars to donuts there are a lot more google references to "sexual bondage" than there are to "santorum" in the invented meaning. "Sexual bondage" is a far, far more commonly-used term. This isn't a question of inclusionism for minority sexual practices, it's a question of whether the term is generally used as a word, or whether it is solely a stunt on Dan Savage's show. If the latter, then it shouldn't be disambiguated or referenced from Santorum or Rick Santorum, because although the stunt is notable to Dan Savage, it's probably a lot less notable to Rick Santorum. Onebyone 13:01, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • It's a valid disambiguation page. See talk:Santorum for way too much discussion of this already. People have already weighed in on this issue about 6 times. That for undeletion the article's merits have to be defended twice (both before and after undeletion) is absurd. --The Cunctator 15:35, 3 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, restoring original consensus. The Cunctator has again abused his sysop status by undeleting this page. The disambiguation page title and content is a transparent POV usage of an idiosyncratic term with virtually no usage in the real world. It's absurd that this page is repeatedly undeleted. Daniel Quinlan 15:46, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. This page has been deleted twice, and undeleted twice. This is an utter waste of everyone's time. I think some people have too much time on their hands to keep bringing this rubbish back. Secretlondon 17:02, Dec 3, 2003 (UTC)
      • Ever hear of pegging? Not listed here, but it's a term referring to female-on-male strap-on anal sex (asisdes from the more common uses in the stock market and staking plants). That too originated in Savage Love. [6], [7] The santorum entry as is is only a disambiguation page with a refernce to its coiner, and I agree it does not yet deserve more (no full page on its own), but I think it does at least deserve that. --zandperl 01:53, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • This is an utter waste of everyone's time, yes. I can't for the life of me understand why this is even up for discussion. Wikipedia is an encyclopaedia. That means that its aim is to help people find information on things. We have content on a person named Santorum, and we have content on a word santorum. So we should help people to find that content. Simple general principle: if Wikipedia has content on x, a reader should be able to find the content by going to x. -- Oliver P. 03:28, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

    • If it merged, it should not be redirected. There is probably 1000s more than 1 pub with the same name, so a redirect to any one town is inappropriate. Angela. 03:32, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
      • Nope. About 101 Google matches, and although I didn't look through the whole lot, the first page of matches all refer to the one in Heslington. :) -- Oliver P. 04:17, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

    • Agree, delete. I removed the one link that goes there, which was an attribution of the author on Kim Zmeskal.

    • Regarding "author won't discuss it on the talk page", it was 19 minutes from the comment being made on the user page to the VfD nomination.

    • Keep. One cannot gain a true sense of a person's physical image without quite a few images, and Mosby was a truly interesting charactar who deserves to be scrutinized. I plan on adding captions to the photos. Each photo has its own story. One of the photographs for instance pictures Mosby wearing a union uniform despite the fact that he was confederate: there will be a story added concerning how he obtained the uniform etc. If this is deleted, many other pages such as Image:Cow_with_calf_thumbnail.jpg would also have to be deleted.

    • Delete. He doesn't (additional photographs belong in John S. Mosby). Daniel Quinlan 04:55, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • I somewhat warily would support keeping these sorts of things. I don't think Wikipedia should become a photo album. However, photos are generally harder to come by than articles, so I think these sorts of pages are a good repository of photos for future use: when more and longer articles are written, many of them can be worked into articles proper in floats. This keeps them somewhat well-organized and findable in the meantime. --Delirium 08:10, Dec 4, 2003 (UTC)

    • Delete, even though the article has changed since listed. I added VfD boilerplate text. Bmills 14:21, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. This is a slang dictionary entry, not an encyclopedia article Dogface

  • Elections Group - I can't see how the name of a committee conducting elections in one British students' union can be made into a more general article. The committees are called different things in different institutions, and are pretty boring in themselves. Secretlondon 21:50, Dec 5, 2003 (UTC)
    • It's not even worth really merging into the union's article itself. Delete. Morwen 21:52, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Denmark Yaneza looks like a vanity page? Created and mondified only by User:Vera Cruz, who is hard-banned. Anthropos 22:59, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete, looks like vanity. (wasn't Vera Cruz widely believed to be banned/unbanned User:Lir, or am I mistaken?) Maximus Rex 23:32, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
  • Java humor - having an article for this makes no sense. Contributed by anonymous users. Either the title is wrong or the content is in the wrong article. Jay 23:10, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
