List of food venues in Bangkok (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Delete per above. Chenzw  Talk  07:05, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Would not contain any helpful information if it were populated. Razorflame 13:05, 17 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - In its current form this list is pretty useless. I will not stop anyone from writing an article about any of those hospitals, or food venues, provided there is notability; We might even classify that entry accordingly, by putting it into appropriate categories. But please check for notability; I also fear that most of this might be more appropriate for Wikitravel. --Eptalon (talk) 18:04, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This does not appear notable. Only got 65 hits on Google. I believe that makes this clearly fail Notability as I have already stated.    ChristianMan16  04:54, 14 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Neometaphysics[change source]

Neometaphysics (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

This term seems to exist only on the Web site linked. That is, it is self-published spam. Art Carlson (talk) 15:22, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Google search only got 181 hits; of those 181, about 15 of those are to us/retailers. I would have to agree that this is spam, or better yet, advertising. Cheers, Razorflame 15:25, 9 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Clodomiro Picado[change source]

Clodomiro Picado (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Notability. Never heard of this and I am pretty sure that this would fail en:WP's BOLP policy. Google search only got 583 hits. Razorflame 14:15, 10 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
 Keep I searched Clodomiro Picado on live search and got over 6000 hits. There does seem to be an important Research Institute of Clodomiro Picado in Coronado, Costa Rica who deal with snake venom etc. and he seems to appear on the 1950s Costa Rican banknotes. It is difficult to give an opinion of the biography as most links are Spanish of Portugese. There are many but I cant say what is reputable or not. Find reputable ones in English took a while but here are a few (including National Geographic) who mention the institute and a mention of the Clodomiro Picado National Award for Science by the American National Science foundation (nsf.gov)[1] [2] [3] [4]. It should be moved to Clodomiro Picado Twight but I didnt find any good reference in English for his biography (I only went through some and guess that a good English reference may take several hours if found at all) but I did see some mention that his institute is very important at researching cancer and venom treatment and unsourced claims are that he is the unrecognised discoverer of pennicillin. ~ R.T.G 01:52, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete - not notable on a world view.--   ChristianMan16  04:24, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep I am certain he would fail the BLP policies.. mainly because he has been dead since 1944. His en:wp bio comes in with at a respectable 8k, es:wp is about the same size, so there seems to be adequate information on him out there. Two national awards given out yearly in his name, on the 2000 colon bill, multiple buildings named after him, internationally known for development of several anti-toxins and supposedly actually discovered the effects of penicillin before Fleming. All told, he seems notable. The article needs moved to its proper name as well as cleanup and wikified (+cats) but not like that is a deletable offence. -- Creol(talk) 14:04, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The article on en.wiki was deleted and reinserted around the first week of March but again there it just seems that his notabilty was not straight forward and he was deleted without a good check. ~ R.T.G 18:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • I will withdraw my request for deletion of this. I did not realize that he would be such a notable figure. It was my mistake that I requested this for deletion in the first place. Cheers, Razorflame 14:54, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Fellowship of Saint John[change source]

The Fellowship of Saint John (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

It is very difficult to see if this is notable; The original seems to be based on Society of St.John the Evangelist. I don´t know how I came to the idea to classify it as an Anglican religious order (the only one so far). There also seem to be the Antiochian Orthodox Church (in America) which has a Fellowship of St. John the Divine and the Orthodox Fellowship of St. John the Baptist, which looks like an Orthodox version of the scout movement in the United Kingdom. For this reason, I think we should consider its deletion, as a regular request; If we don't delete it, we need to clarify, and probably add pages for the other two organisations listed.

 Done Merged. --Eptalon (talk) 11:43, 11 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Costa Rican food[change source]

Costa Rican food (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

Chigakukan[change source]

Chigakukan (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

No notability. This Google search confirms this. Even though it has it's own website, it doesn't have it's own English Wikipedia page, and I don't think that it fits the bill for notability. Razorflame 15:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Result: Delete.-- Lights  talk  12:20, 5 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

SpongeBob Squarepants episodes[change source]

So far, 4 episode pages have been written (1, 2, 3, 4). I can't imagine that we need a page on every episode when a short description on the List of SpongeBob SquarePants episodes would probably be sufficient. English Wikipedia doesn't even have pages for each episode, they have a medium-length blurb on each episode but have pages for the episodes in each season (like this). I think this would be a preferable format for here as well. The pages themselves don't add much in the way of content (the pictures don't work properly and the trivia sections shouldn't even be there as they are inappropriate for an encyclopedia). A page on each 10 minute episode not only seems silly, but would also produce a navbox that's twice as long as the current one (which is already ridiculously long). I propose re-formatting to something similar to the formatting at en:wiki. · Tygrrr... 16:18, 28 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - A wiki at Wikia might accept this, though. Chenzw (talkchanges) 11:12, 29 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Result: Deleted, and parts of these articles merged to the episode list.-- Lights  talk  20:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

No hint of notability. This search on Google confirms my own suspicions as it only lists 2 pages; us for both of the pages. Razorflame 19:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Quick Deleted as vandalism and possible attack page. The image used was a self posted image from a user on the Swedish Wikipedia. Made up name, made up location, real person's picture.. looks like the poster knew he was adding false info there. -- Creol(talk) 20:52, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Esperanza[change source]

Wikipedia:Esperanza (change · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete)

As with the deletion of the the original Esperanza, it's an unnecessary, useless project that's most inactive. Also, with its hierarchy of leaders and members, the project lacks the open and transparent spirit of a wiki. Barnstars, on the other hand, should be split off as a separate project.--TBC 23:05, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • keep - Even a long absent editor should know that the discussion to change/delete ENWP's esperanza has no relevance here --Bärliner 23:11, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: TBC, would you mind expanding on what you think the problem is with having this project here? Thank you. · Tygrrr... 23:25, 26 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Comment. The project, with its hierarchy of leaders and members, lacks the open and transparent spirit of a wiki. Also, other than giving out barnstars, the project has been mostly inactive.--TBC 04:06, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Not needed--  C h r i s t i a n M a n 1 6 03:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - After 16 months here, I still am uncertain exactly what the purpose of it is and how this purpose is used to help the wiki in any way. Reading all the pages on it comes up with "This is Esperanza, we do barnstars and welcome people". We really need a wikiproject for this? Let alone one that is for the most part inactive? Randomly something Esperanza-ish will come up, but for the most part it sits there doing nothing at all. "After 50 member we will..." and yet we hit 50 earlier than last July and nothing has been done about it. Much of the member list is inactive users. There seems to be a post of "Admin General" though no idea what this post is for and looking at the history of it, no reason why there is such a post (it was semi-vacant for months and no one seemed to notice a difference). While it may be a good theory, in action it seems to serves no purpose at all. En deleted theirs as there was no real useful purpose for it. While we are not EN and we should always decide things based on our situation, the fact that we have as much or less use for it than they do seems to show that the decision they made may be one we should make as well. -- Creol(talk) 05:35, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - Does it mean that Non-Esperanzans will be cold-hearted, hiding in the corner and doing their own editing? The community should be friendly even without this project. In addition, anyone can give barnstars, not just people from Esperanza.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Chenzw (talkcontribs)
  • Delete as per Creol. Razorflame 16:02, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete The project had been inactive for a long time, and doesn't serve a purpose. Oysterguitarist 16:26, 27 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Creol.-- Lights  talk  03:10, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, I joined a while ago, and have found it to be largely dead. Very few new posts on the talk page, no real action taken in anything, unfinished debates hanging with no replies. Was a nice idea, but is too inactive to really do much of anything at this point. TheWolf 15:04, 28 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per TBC. Same reasons apply as on en.wikipedia. Justin(u) 04:19, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. Esperanza has had successes over here in a way that was different to the EN version and I don't think the two should be grouped together, but there doesn't seem to be the community interest any more. Archer7 - talk 13:56, 29 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
