Building A Computer

a partial how-to guide, not an encyclopedia entry. Maximus Rex 03:17, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Kill it, DIY guides are not encyclopaedic. It might, however, be a good idea to link to sites offering such guides on the personal computer page or somewhere similar, or maybe even change it to a more encyclopaedic article on the phenomenon/hobby of building PCs and put links there.

Boiler Efficiency and Caliculation Routines

From Cleanup: Boiler Efficiency and Caliculation Routines technical manual for some boiler. (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)

Caliculation Routines is a general prescription for assessing boiler efficiency. It turns out that this is a topic of substantial practical importance as many large buildings have one. However the article as it stands doesn't make an encyclopedia article -- move to Wikibooks but do not delete. Boiler Efficiency is copied in part from [1] and I suspect the remainder is copied from elsewhere as well (it says "Author: DSCL Energy Services" at the top of the article). I'm guessing that User:Kaupp who contributed these is an engineering student in India. That's awesome, we just need to focus his/her efforts. Wile E. Heresiarch 14:18, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Brian Hickey

From Cleanup: Brian Hickey - 9/11 victim (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)

Predator (Mike Carlton)

A google search shows hits for a Mike Carlton who's a radio host and newspaper columnist in Sydney, but I'm not sure if this is the same guy. Meelar 13:46, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I put this page up. He's not the same guy.--XmarkX 13:53, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks for the clarification. I'm not sure he's notable enough; no offense meant, though--I hope you continue your work. You seem to have been quite productive here since you arrived. Best, Meelar 14:07, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- Yeah, you are completely right, I guess. Looking at it objectively, and looking at some other vfd entries, he's not an encyclopedic candidate. So I vote to delete my own creation! Ironically enough, the real guy is being buried tomorrow morning.--XmarkX 14:11, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
  - How mature of you. I wish that most vfd discussions were this civil! - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 15:25, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
Sorry about your loss. Seems harsh to say that I agree he's probably not notable enough. If and when this page is deleted, don't forget to delete the link from Predator. --Woggly 06:46, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I thought this was very amusing - perhaps people have missed the point? I suspect it is a very English type of humour.

Pointless, delete. Wyllium 20:30, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Not even a good dicdef. Delete. -- Cyrius|✎ 06:32, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Alcopunk

This looks like a neologism (see google), and therefore not something that should be in an encyclopedia. Thue 20:29, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Comment: Unsure. I have heard this term used elswhere, despite its poor Google showing. But this isn't a good stub IMO. It seems to be part of a network of edits by user:Pepus, who seems to be a fan, manager or member of Destyl, allegedly an alcopunk band. The punk rock articles in general seem to be a hotbed of advertising and autobiography in fact. Andrewa 21:04, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
- I tried googling for Destyl punk, and found enough hits (in Czech, so I am not sure how relevant they are) not to list them on vfd. Thue 21:16, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. I listen to a fair amount of punk, and have never heard this term before. Frankly, it sounds like Destyl coined a term for their music, then claimed a well-known band as a fellow member of the genre. A google search for "The Casualties" + alcopunk gets zero hits. Isomorphic 02:17, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Cingoz the Saint Cat

No idea what this is. No google hits. Thue 20:49, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Should have been speedly deleted. Delete now. RickK 21:17, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
I voted delete as well, but my original vote seems to have vanished. Second time's a charm. - Lucky 6.9 22:18, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
And my vote to delete disappeared, too. Joyous 22:20, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
- I had to revert to an earlier version of VfD because the page was duplicated. See the Talk page. RickK 22:23, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
For once, I agree--this was speed worthy. Meelar 05:18, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Cingoz the Saint Cat caused the delete votes of the nonbelievers to disappear. However, with the protection of the power of Ralph the Holy Budgie, I declare this article deleted. Denn i 02:55, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)

Revolt of the Three Feudatories

Sub-stub. (This listing was submitted by User:Jredmond. SWAdair | Talk 03:39, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC))

Keep. Checking the linked-to article indicates this one has definite potential. SWAdair | Talk 03:39, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Obviously someone ought to write an article (or at least a stub) on this subject, but as it is now, it's worse to have this sub-stub than it would be just to not have an article. Delete (for now). john k 19:00, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. The content (if there ever is any) should be covered in Qing dynasty. Fire Star 01:03, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete. I agree with john k.--Woggly 10:33, 15 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Venezart

Delete - advert for advertising - "For more information visit us @ http://www.venezart.com" - Tεx τ urε 03:16, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
It doesn't get more blatant than that. Delete advert. SWAdair | Talk 04:07, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete, clearly promotional, no encyclopedic value that I can discern. If you remove the promotional language, you are left with "Venezart is a web design company." Dpbsmith 15:04, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Creed of Transcendentalism Today

Delete - The creed of a new religion (founded 2002). Technically POV, I suppose. Jorge Stolfi 03:31, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Inherently POV. I'm not familiar enough with the subject matter to make a definite call, but it looks like one person's viewpoint, probably not properly representative of the subject. Oh, and kill it before those red-links multiply. Delete. SWAdair | Talk 04:20, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Keep- Transcendentalism Today has expanded rapidly worldwide. (14,100 sites) See http://www.google.com/search?sourceid=navclient&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&q=Transcendentalism+Today Kurt Kawohl

Put quotes around "Transcendentalism Today" in the query, and those 14100 Google hits become 849, mainly automatic echos of Kurt Kawohl's posts. I now extend my "delete" vote to everything connected to this vanity cult. Jorge Stolfi 00:30, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Posted by creator = self-promotion = Isomorphic votes to delete. Isomorphic 01:45, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I love it when you refer to yourself in the third person. Seriously, delete all before this, uh, spiritual belief becomes the next Shawn Mikula or Robert Kyle Wilson debacle. Or even Bunboy. - Lucky 6.9 02:55, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete - user has blanked page and indicated desire to delete article as well - Tεx τ urε 17:16, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Sorry for my incompetence in incorrectly phrasing what Transcendentalism today stands for. I assure you that Transcendentalism is not a new cult or a new religion; it is an attempted rationality at religion.

I HAVE DELETED IT.Kurt

Cap'n Jaspers

Though I could be wrong, this doesn't look noteworthy. Not brilliant prose, either. Fredrik (talk) 13:46, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Seems like an advert, esp. since it's "just a shack behind the glassworks". Meelar 14:01, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Frisee hall of champions

Doesn't make sense, or even define its terms. Cleanup was no help. DJ Clayworth 17:19, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Well, for starters, I moved it to Frisbee hall of champions, which was what was obviously intended. -- Jmabel 17:29, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)
Delete - It is just a list of links. Is it going to be an article or just a link repository. (The links don't even exist yet.) - Tεx τ urε 17:58, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
I think it's intended to be a list. Keep, possibly rename. Meelar 19:57, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
Delete: I went searching for the winners/hall of famers, and Marc Fishman, e.g. shows up only as an RPG master or as a (dead, I think) actor. Is there a single Frisbee body? Which one made this hall of champions, and what was the contest? I thought there were multiple Frisbee sports with multiple tournaments. Geogre 01:37, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
