Newbomb turk[edit]

This sub-stub reads, "Newbomb Turk is a fictional character from the 1980s movie "The Hollywood Knights". He is played by Actor/Comedian Robert Wuhl." End of stub. There does not appear to be an appropriate place to merge this article. How might this text potentially benefit visitors to Wikipedia? Should it be expanded? Is it remotely encyclopedic? --GRider\talk 00:01, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • GRider, please tell me what you think should happen to Newbomb turk. It is your responsiblity as nominator to clearly tell your fellow Wikipedians what you think should happen as a result of the nomination. —Markaci 2005-03-15 T 00:10 Z
  • Keep He was the central character, and has 3,070 Google Hits, quite respectable for a 1980 movie character. Also, New Bomb Turks are named after him. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 00:13, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • This could almost certainly be redirected to the movie. In addition, I want to concur with Markaci that Vfd is not Jeoparody, and your nominations should not come in the form of a question. Meelar (talk) 00:54, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Merge with The Hollywood Knights. Move if no such article. Demi T/C 01:39, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
    • Agree with Demi. Merge or move. RickK 05:47, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep and move to Newbomb Turk. Passes the Google test easily. --Ryan! | Talk 06:17, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

Christian poetry[edit]

Seems to be several of some persons poems. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 00:44, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC) Withdrawn, new version is much more appropate, Keep. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 20:01, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete, original unencyclopedic "creation." Demi T/C 01:37, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
  • Keep but Rewrite completely. The current article is crap, but the topic of christian poetry is encyclopedic. DaveTheRed 01:49, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete I agree that the topic could probably have a fine article, but if we kept it now it would still have the current contents in history. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 02:22, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete; either a copyvio or original prayers; then add to Wikipedia:Requested articles. -- Smerdis of Tlön 05:02, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Keep article in current form. Kappa replaced it with a valid stub, and I've tried to expand it with a bit of historical material, difficult for such a vast topic. -- Smerdis of Tlön 15:35, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually DaveTheRed got the ball rolling. Kappa 18:33, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedy deleted. If not a copyvio, an invalid use of encyclopedia space. If you want an article with this title, go ahead and create it now. RickK 05:52, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Ok, done. Unfortunately, my knowledge of Christian poetry could fit in one of those small communion cups. Any addition help is more than welcome. DaveTheRed 09:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, un-encyclopaedic. Megan1967 10:39, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Hmmm I wonder if Megan is voting on the new article or the old, deleted one. Better vote Keep anyway. Kappa 12:37, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • An article would be nice, but a stub stating the obvious (that Christian poetry is poetry with a Christian theme) is not, and neither is a list of Christian poets considering the ubiquity of Christan mythology in pre-contemporary European/American art. Delete. Radiant! 13:10, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • I wish deletionist would play fair sometimes. You want to add in 3 delete votes for a now completely non-existent article? If you watch carefully you might see how a mere list can become the basis for a very useful and interesting article. Kappa 18:33, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • I don't quite follow you. What is unfair here? Did you see me voting three times for this article? Sorry but I really don't get it. I hold that the topic even as rewritten is unencyclopedic, hence my vote. As it stands it is turning into a 'list of poets who use reference to Christain mythology' which is not informative since that applies to almost every western poet. Radiant! 08:25, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment - If I understand deletion policy correctly, then the new article is not up for deletion right now. The old VfD was resolved when it was speedy deleted. This new article is a start from scratch, and has no relation to the old article, or its VfD. If for some reason you feel that the new article should be deleted, you need to renominate it as a new article. DaveTheRed 19:10, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep the rewrite. RickK 21:15, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • So Christian poetry is "any poetry that contains Christian teachings, themes, or references." Hudathunk? Delete Denni 00:58, 2005 Mar 16 (UTC)
  • Keep the new article. It needs work, but it's clearly encyclopedic. --Angr 06:48, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. - Mustafaa 06:53, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The new article is a good start thanks to DavetheRed and Kappa. Capitalistroadster 09:49, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Clearly now a good start. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:34, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. As re-written, a good stub. Jayjg (talk) 21:03, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Valid topic if rewritten. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:51, 20 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Current DNC Members[edit]

Didn't know we were a phone book or member directory. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 02:16, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete and fast. I imagine these people might object to having their addresses listed. Chris 02:51, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ballarat Cricket Association[edit]

Local sports organizations are not sufficiently notable for wikipedia entries, delete--nixie 03:52, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Keep, upon reflection, local sports organizations are important enough for inclusion and necessary to coverage of amateur and children's sport in their area. Yes, I know there are a lot of them. Could be merged with Local sports in Ballarat if such an article appeared. Kappa 04:58, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 06:59, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Local sporting organizations are notable. Particularly so ones in major towns like this. --Centauri 07:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn cricketcruft. ComCat 08:46, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, local organizations are not inherrently notable, although I might be willing to change my vote if someone could show that they were either sufficiently large or operated outside of the Ballarat area. DaveTheRed 08:53, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. Local sporting organizations are notable. Particularly so ones in major towns like this. Add to that the fact that Ballarat is right at the heart of one of the world's major cricketing centres. The BCA is big enough to have hosted international matches (Ballarat played against the touring England team in 1933 - possibly the most infamous cricket tour of all time). Ballarat has hosted full international matches as recently as the 1990s. We're not talking just some small village sports team here... Grutness|hello? 10:08, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • There have been many country towns that have hosted international touring matches, however the overseas sides that play these matches are usually not the first XI and the matches are not regarded as Test standard (England sides that play these matches are often always called MCC rather than England to denote that fact). Ballarat has never hosted a Test match. I'm looking at a map of Victoria and I dont understand your comment that Ballarat is "at the heart of one of the world's major cricketing centres" - if it was Ballarat it would standing in the middle of the MCG or SCG and that is physically impossible. Megan1967 10:25, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually, England touring teams are now denoted England XI, to note the fact that it isn't a Test. Smoddy (tgec) 19:47, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • I never said it was a test - I said a full international match. England vs Sri Lanka, ODI, March 9, 1992, Ballarat CA Ground, Ballarat. It was one of the matches at the 1992 World Cup. At least four full international players have started their careers at Ballarat, too. Grutness|hello? 06:05, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, concur with Megan. Also, nearly every minor village has at least one sport organization. That doesn't make them notable. Radiant! 11:56, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • Since every minor village has an article, what are we going to say about them if we can't talk about their sport organizations? Kappa 12:21, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Since there isn't anything interesting to say about the average sport organization, a brief mention in the article on the village itself would suffice. Think of how different your local hockey club might be from my local hockey club - chances are it isn't. Radiant! 13:05, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
        • I think the chances are that it is. Different date of foundation, different number of members, different frequency of play, different level of success, different age ranges, different male/female ratio, different facilities, different local rivals, different amount of training, different involvement with other local institutions... Kappa 18:21, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
          • The question is, why does every minor village have to have an article? Unless there is some historical notability for the village, do we need an article for every one of them? Megan1967 04:57, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
        • Ballarat is not a minor village. It is the second-largest city in the state of Victoria - a "village" of 90,000 people. And cricket is the major sport of the area.The equivalent in the UK, for instance, would be a sports club of the stature of, say, Leicester City football club. In the US, the equivalent might be whatever the basketball team in a city like Reno or Provo might be. Grutness|hello?
          • Third largest, unless Geelong just fell into Corio Bay. ;) Ambi 06:08, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep - agree with reasons given above, jguk 12:41, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 16:15, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
  • Could this not be merged with the Ballarat page? Meelar (talk) 16:48, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
    • It could, but it wouldn't fit very well IMO. Kappa 00:31, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Change vote to keep, Grutness has convinced me. Minor confusion over use of "Association"; I wasn't familiar with the usage. Meelar (talk) 22:13, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, merging doesn't seem suitable or appropriate. —RaD Man (talk) 02:16, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. The Ballarat Cricket Association has hosted international cricket matches since Plum Warner took a team there in 1902-03. The England team went there at the height of Bodyline and there was controversy about remarks made during the luncheon. I have added this to the article and will add stuff about the one day international. Capitalistroadster 09:12, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Now added more info about the world cup match and Ballarat hosting a match in the first tour by an English team to Australia in 1862 as well as the 1992 match. Capitalistroadster 09:32, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Marginal keep. Not entirely certain on this one. Alphax τεχ 09:25, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Local sports organization seem to be on the same level as secondary schools: not notable merely through their existence. Regional sports organizations make the cut in my mind, but not local kids' leagues. Shimmin 22:09, Mar 17, 2005 (UTC)
    • I've you'd taken the trouble to read as far as the end of the first sentence you would realise it is not just a children's league. Wincoote 13:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
      • Are you trying to destroy VFD ?!?!?!?!!!!!!!one! - David Gerard 23:02, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, or merge with Ballarat. For local ones I would say delete, but this one serves the whole of Greater Ballarat, about 80,000 people. This is more a regional organisation. --bainer 05:37, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep, looks notable in its realm, after about a century and a half. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:42, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep Snobbish anti-sport nomination, but it is established that Wikipedia covers sport in detail, not just the likes of physics and philisophy so all this sort of nomination does is create ill feeling and waste many users' time which might otherwise have been used to improve articles. Wincoote 13:57, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • I despise cricket. Keep - David Gerard 23:02, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Cricket hurts my brain. But even I have to admit this lot is notable. Keep. Edeans 02:30, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ryan Bodenhamer[edit]

Here we go again, vanity! ;) - Mailer Diablo 04:07, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete as I look at the page zapper. Chris 04:11, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Don't Delete!, its a very notable entry, people need to know about others Scary 9:22, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
  • I changed my mind, i agree with the above entry and encourage this person to write more on himself. we cant consider such instances as vanity when they are obviously true. honestly, who admits to talking to a can of beans? Horary 9:25, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
  • Keep, obvious vanity. DaveTheRed 20:04, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep this like a bug through the zapper. Mike H 01:49, Mar 16, 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep. This person is obviously very notable. Just kidding. Keep. ugen64 01:49, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Ryan Bodenhamer is not vain, he is a very humble man tucked into the ozark mountains near decaturville missouri. he and his can of beans named jim notoriously vandalize local villas. the adventures of ryan bodenhamer and jim can be purchased for a flat fee of $1,000,000,000,000,000,000. you can contact him by walking out your front door and shouting his name followed by meaningless spanish gibberish and at least 5 obsceneties in random order. also you must have a can of beans in memory of jims fallen spirit. by the way jim died. if you have tried to contact him please log under this that you have.

The result of the debate was redirect to Muertos incómodos. —Korath (Talk) 00:26, Mar 21, 2005 (UTC)

Muertos Incomodos[edit]

No vote for now. Article is a one-line (not even a complete sentence) description of an apparently Web-published book. My Spanish is rusty at best, so any help in verifying the notability of this book would be appreciated. Android79 04:26, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

  • The book itself doesn't score much in the way of notoriety, lacking any kind of critical review, and it seems to be more a novella published in a Mexican periodical than a book. One of the authors is a figure of relative notoriety and importance however, so perhaps a Redirect or a Merge with Subcomandante Marcos is in order. Arkyan 07:15, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Just noticed an article with slightly more comment at [[Muertos_inc%F3modos]]. Whether or not that stub is worth hanging on to or listing on VfD I'm not entirely sure, but if nothing else this article needs redirected there. Being relatively new I'm hesitant to step on the VfD and redirect it now, but I did want to point out the alternate article.
    • And being relatively new I forgot to sign the above. Arkyan 07:31, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect as per Arkyan. And muertos incómodos means uncomfortable deaths in Spanish. DaveTheRed 08:45, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable. Megan1967 09:06, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Yes another comment. I did some research on the subject and expanded the article at [[Muertos_inc%F3modos]]. Seems it did generate some interest in Mexico, and I think it is more than worthy of keeping, as long as we redirect this rather pointless stub to the more comprehensive entry. Oh, and muertos incómodos does mean uncomfortable dead; uncomfortable deaths would be muertes incómodas. Arkyan 20:53, 15 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • This substub would be no great loss. Seems to have potential, though, weak keep. -- Jmabel | Talk 05:43, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Redirect to Muertos incómodos, which is now 3 good paragraphs and 2 ExtLks. And both authors are important figures in the country of origin: see es:Paco Ignacio Taibo II and/or search for "clinton" on here. No doubt an English xlation of the novel(lla) will be along shortly. Hajor 06:14, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Keep as present redirect - David Gerard 23:01, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Raymond E. Murphy[edit]

Transwiki to the memorial wiki. RickK 08:52, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

Ok, Rick, what would You suggest? Rick Wilson

Wikipedia has a sister project for memorials to 9/11 victims at http://sep11.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page, RickK 09:00, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)
He just did suggest. Move it to the September 11 Memorial wiki article, already existant. --John Owens (talk) 09:06, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
Which, upon further examination, I see you created yourself, a few minutes before creating the article here. All the same content is already there, so I suppose no transwiki-ing as such is really necessary. --John Owens (talk) 09:09, 2005 Mar 15 (UTC)
