Although the articles are good written, I'm afraid the subjects are not notable enough. Google seems to support this idea (repeat the search for other titles please).

I thought I should also express that, this time, I'm really in doubt if we should really delete them. I'm asking here for your opinion, so please don't hesitate to oppose with good reasons. - Huji reply 13:29, 17 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, If the articles are deleted, Because the same procedure and source for inspiration was used for most of my recent articles, I ask that they all should be deleted. They are mostly legislators, regional legislators, and there are far more less important people than regional legislators on Wikipedia. Including on the list is an Emir(basically, ruler). I was not a fan of En Wikipedia and I hate to go through the same process of writing and seeing people who do not have indepth understanding of Nigeria ruin it. I am sorry if I am bitter but that is my point.

Please kindly delete all my articles.

I know this was put up for deletion not too long ago, but I think that keeping was a mistake. Not only is the place not notable, but the information on the page is not verifiable because there is almost no information available about this place (see en:Wikipedia:Verifiability). · Tygartl1·talk·

It was kept because the person who nominated (Ionas68224) withdrew his request. · Tygartl1·talk· 18:16, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Badly written Oysterguitarist 22:33, 4 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • DeleteKeep/rewrite. While I am sorely tempted to want to keep this, and if badly written is a valid reason to remove an article we are instantly down some 10K articles, there is just not any valid information about the section of Tokyo (the precinct, not the city of) to clean the article up enough to keep it in my opinion. Changed: Changed opinion based on Phaedriel locating valid information for rewriting the article. -- Creol(talk) 07:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think it is pointless to keep the article in its current form. With that spelling, there is also no article in EnWP, and google turns up most links to Japanese sites (sorry, I do not understand Japanese). The image given in the article is that of Koishikawa Korakuen Garden. I therefore think there are 3 options we have:
    1. We can delete the article
    2. We could ask the original author (Mina) or another Japanese-language editor to expand/rerwrite it.
    3. Faling both, we could turn it into an article on the Koishikava Keruaken Garden (basing ourselves on enWP).
Personally, I am leaning towards a keep, asking the original author to expand-rewrite, or turning it into an article about the garden. Unrelated to this request, I think we could use more Japanese-language editors. :) --Eptalon 10:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Andrew MacGregor

[change source]

Article only quotes the "adelaide institute" which seems to be a home for right wing conspiracy theories. The pictures which accompany the external references (andrew macgregor being attacked by a rubber masked devil) cast doubt on his scholarly research. It is impossible to refute many of his claims because he presents no evidence. Events are written off as not being as commonly understood but as "psy-ops" - big government bombing its own citizens, or even shooting its own police women. The "solution" to the London bombngs seems based on an appraisal of Israeli newspapers.

I can find few references to this person on google, and no article on en:wiki. Suggest deleting article as the subject is "not notable". I have a copy of the article as its material may be useful in an article on conspiracy theories  Barliner  talk  14:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I believe both these templates should be deleted. Templates should be used as a way to prevent copying the same text on many pages.

Doesn't meet any of the guidelines listed here (population is 230). Also, A1 and A4.

So to be safe, I am RfDing. · Tygartl1·talk·

Keep. I fail to see how that discussion on an archived page of "Simple talk" constitutes "establishing a guideline". I was not even aware of such a discussion; if I had been, I would have argued against "minimum population requirements". The "result" of the discussion also seems a little forced, by combining several slots into one. Blockinblox - talk 21:32, 30 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • It looks like this is a town, in NSW, in Australia. I can locate Australia, I find NSW. I have no idea where this town actually is; or why it is here. I do not even know if it has the 230 people, as claimed 230 are from. In its current form, I think we should delete this article. I have no objections against it being kept, if it can be extended to the usual 3-4 sentence stub. And no, I do not consider the vote on Settlements I started (now in the ST archives) as a guideline. --Eptalon 14:04, 31 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Then why did you say the "guideline will be in place until..."? I believe it is a guideline (def: something that is loosely followed), which is different from a policy (def: something that must be followed). I think your wording was correct and I believe we should loosely follow the guidelines that were laid out. · Tygartl1·talk· 17:21, 1 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Comment:This has nothing to do with this delete req.- I personally felt that some members of the community wanted a tighter grip on small settlements (Which can usually be deleted on the notability anyway). The idea was to create such a document (Which i have not done yet, btw). Users like User:Blockinblox rightly point our that we do have the space, and there is no harm in stubs of small settlements, always provided they are a proper stub. The article above has a sizeable article in EnWP. I think if we can extend ours to coming close to that stub we can can safely keep the article. But that is just my opinion. If the feeling in the community really is that we need a guideline regarding the size of an otherwise non-notable settlement, then one should be created. References to a Simple Talk (archive) look bad. --Eptalon 20:26, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You're entitled to your opinion. I don't think it looks bad and I don't feel the vote was pointless either, which everyone is suggesting. However, no one is addressing the fact that there is no information on this town of 230 people. The article probably could have been QD'ed for A1. Like Browne34 said, how is it any different from simply stating "George Bush is a man from Texas?" And as far as notability goes, it's not even the equivalent of George Bush, it's more like "Joe Schmo is the mayor of a town of 5,000". Come on people, let's be reasonable here. Some places are less notable than others, just as some people are less notable than others. Like it or not, notability is a qualification for articles on Wikipedia. I cannot see how this town meets this qualification. · Tygartl1·talk· 20:46, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete as nominator. · Tygartl1·talk· 13:58, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. If memory serves me right, Adaminaby was the town relocated as the construction site for part of one of Australia's major ecological restructuring programs. The town was originally located in what is now one of the major artificial lakes which were created to provide water for the the country (irrigation and drinking) and was moved to higher ground and acted as the base for the entire construction project in that area. It is also home to one of the earliest of Australia's growing collection of "Big Things", a giant trout sculpture which would seem to be highly notable in Australian culture as a tourist attraction. Deleting a town with such a colorful past and a point of local/national notability would seem wrong. -- Creol(talk) 07:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, a notable town famous for one of Australia's Big Things. I agree the article should be kept because of its national notability. RaNdOm26 16:40, 5 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep. I should probably read the deletion policy, but I think from the other votes I can form my opinion on this one. A casually mentioned plan for a guideline is not the same as a guideline. If we need one, we need to make one, but even then it probably should not be retroactive. Either way, there are some people here who seem to know something about this town (imagine the statistical probabilities against that!) and the stub can be made into a valid article, including information from the EWP article. The fact that it has an EWP article is an index on its notability. It doesn't decide for us, but it is an index. --Cromwellt|talk|contribs 04:00, 6 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Most of these are due to template inclusion, but that doesn't remove the fact that the page is four times more wanted than our current most wanted page. Were this page deleted, it would need to be immediately recreated in some other form to fill that need. A redlinked disambig page atleast give a basic idea of what the term means, as well as increasing the most wanted hits for several terms which increases the need for them to be created one day. -- Creol(talk) 06:36, 25 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Small village in Kent, south of Gravesend; IMO worth keeping, just for the disambig with the G-string (which is also called thong)

All of them villages or towns (or settlements) around England. Thong, Marlow, and Redruth are the least developed. I am putting this to a vote, because I am unsure. Thong, Marlow and Redruth are the shortest of the lot, yet I tend to think they can either be extended, or be kept around ot amuse people. They can certainly be extended; just because some are dormitory towns for other cities does not make a reason for deleting them.--Eptalon 21:32, 18 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Doesn't appear to be notable. No page on English Wikipedia with any of the spellings and variations of the name. Google searches turn up very little, and nothing that I can find about this specific person (see: [21] [22] [23] [24]). · Tygartl1·talk· 23:17, 24 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Based on WP:NOT we should limit ourselves to common subjects. A small city doesn't lie within the borders of common subjects, specially when it has no worldwide fame. I'm requesting this page to be deleted, with a little uncertainity. Your comments may lead us to decide better about this article and about the whole wiki. - Huji reply 16:14, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By looking at English wiki plus a quick Google search, Takao isn't a city, it's a mountain in Japan. Takao is an old name for a city in Taiwan with a population over 1 million. We could delete it because it gives wrong info, otherwise, if the article is corrected, it should be kept. RaNdOm26 16:31, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
If discussing about the notability about cities which I think you want to discuss about, cities like Takao in Taiwan should definitely be kept, second biggest city. If the article is about small city within a metropolitan area, I am inclined to keep them too. RaNdOm26 16:35, 10 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Result: Kept, current article moved to Mount Takao. Mentioned city at the base. --Eptalon 16:25, 23 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This article is a violation of A4, this is a non-notable group of people, a village with only 250 people, not an article in the English wikipedia, and the only source is in German. Simple English Wikipedia should not have articles that are non-notable, not in the English wikipedia, and only one sentence. -- Ionas68224

Non-notable subject, no non-trivial external sources or links, and very complex subject. This article makes references to non-sourced trivial information, plus the article is VERY FAR from a core article. Also, there are only 621 Google hits.--ιονας Δ. ρανδ* 01:26, 3 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, then, why don't you create the article reverse Polish notation? --Isis§(talk) 19:39, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do it at once as soon as a consensus renames vpam in w:Prefix notation. ONaNcle 19:53, 7 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Result:Keep. - Move to prefix notation, and rewrite to fit needs, place in Category:Mathematical notation, do a redirect from Polish notation; create infix notation and postfix notation along the same lines (again link from reverse polish notation to postfix notation. IMO, infix/prefix/postfix are the terms in wider use now, at least in computer science --Eptalon 20:52, 11 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe these articles fit the Core Article guideline. They also don't have much in the way of assertions of notability. I don't know if these small towns all need their own page, some have populations under 1,000. I am unsure about whether places can be quick deleted, otherwise I may have done so on a couple of these for sure. -  BrownE34  talk  contribs  15:07, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete: very small towns. If we decide to keep articles on towns this small, then we will be keeping millions of small town articles that have no notability. I think we should only keep articles of towns that have some significance in its history. (what about Wiluna, Western Australia for instance?) RaNdOm26 15:15, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Seeing as minor articles doesn't need to be deleted just because they are not the core articles, I don't think it needs to be deleted. I wasn't aware about how non-core articles are dealt here. RaNdOm26 12:58, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - The only thing which stops me from voting as keep is that, I'm not sure such articles are really needed in a Simple English Wikipedia with its current form. Nevertheless, I'm open to discussing (on a separate page) about the goals of Simple English Wikipedia, again. - Huji reply 17:03, 29 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge into Big Horn County, Wyoming. Develop the articles/sections there. When one of them gains notabliity in any way, re-create separate article. Delete Butterfield. --Eptalon 13:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC) keep Butterfield as well --Eptalon 12:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Butterfield - Articles don't have to be "Core" to avoid deletion. Let's think far into the future: At some point eventually, say 50 years from now, we can certainly include every town on the planet, like a gazeteer, only better - Why not? Merge the others for now, per Eptalon. Blockinblox - talk 04:10, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    EnWP had some statistics on the village, of almost 400 people. I added them. Therefore I think keeping may be a good idea. --Eptalon 11:48, 1 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Even though it scores 131,000 on the Yahoo! test this article has no importance, no categorisation, and is one of the shortest articles in Wikipedia. This does not belong in an encyclopædia that is working on core articles. Ionas68224 23:53, 4 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

An assertion of notability made, so speedy deletion is out of the question. However, I don't think the subject is notable enough for his own article here on Simple English Wikipedia. Per WP:NOT, I think this would be something suitable for en.wiki since the English Wikipedia contains a large collection of articles. In contrast, Simple English Wikipedia is supposed to have articles on common subjects. Nishkid64 (talk) 00:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]
