This was submitted by the same anonymous user to both Wikipedia and Wiktionary within the space of 2 minutes. Wiktionary turned it into a dictionary entry. Wikipedia didn't expand it into an encyclopaedia article, probably because there isn't anything to be said on the subject of moonglades. Uncle G 02:45, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

The result of the debate was SPEEDY DELETE. Contained only translation of German word into English. Mgm|(talk) 21:03, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

There is no scope for an encyclopaedia article here, and the title is in the wrong language for a redirect to be worthwhile. Uncle G 03:33, 2005 Mar 18 (UTC)

  • Speedy for no content. --InShaneee 04:18, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Speedied. Content was: Schwein is the german word for pig. All useful info about pigs should go to the English language article about them. Mgm|(talk) 09:37, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

Made no sense to me. - Mailer Diablo 06:00, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

It's patent nonsense and should be speedy deleted -- not listed here. -- Derek Ross | Talk 06:16, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete. Joyous 03:03, Mar 15, 2005 (UTC)

The article freely admits that Mr. Deville is "of little merit". THat does not sound particularily notable. I suggest that this article be deleted. Sjakkalle 15:13, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. Vanity, or perhaps just nonsense. Remes 16:34, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. I have just rewritten this article as a stub about the real R.E. Lee DeVille. I have absolutely no knowledge of mathematics, so I can't say whether he's notable, although I doubt it, since essentially he's a postdoc at NYU. Someone who knows more about math could look at it and comment here about whether he's worth keeping in. Also, my stub is really inadequate, because I can't really understand his CV or his research interest statement. Again, someone who knows more about math could do much better than I did. Anyway, I'm going to withhold a vote at all now, because while this is no longer the attack or nonsense that it was before, I'm still not sure whether he's sufficiently notable or not. Remes 22:58, 11 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. This sounds like nonsense to me. Insufficient information to even contemplate verifying.Average Earthman 16:57, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete He's real, a research mathematician at NYU... but this article smells more like an attack page than an attempt to start a bio stub. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 18:16, Mar 9, 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. Looks like an attack, may not merit a page anyway. Jayjg (talk) 19:38, 9 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, could be speedied as a personal attack/vandalism, else a rant. Wyss 00:49, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
I was on the verge of nominating this for a speedy deletion, but I was a bit unsure. I was sure that this article merited a deletion or massive cleanup. Sjakkalle 07:25, 10 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Still delete but weakened, Remes has made a valiant attempt at saving this page, and the page is no longer an attack (or perhaps a self-deprecating vanity?). I do not think that Deville passes the average college professor bar (I believe that has been the standard on whether to keep or delete such articles) for notability however, being an associate research scientist would suggest that he does not. Nonetheless, Remes should be thanked for his attempt. Sjakkalle 07:18, 14 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Delete Vanity/Non-notable --DaveC 14:44, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Delete. This is clearly a joke (Zamboni driver for Zimbabwe's first outdoor ice rink? "deparment of redundency department"? Um hum.) though IMO not a good enough one for BJAODN. -- Infrogmation 17:39, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Looking at it again, I have Speedy deleted, as the prank looks to be an insult of someone's school teacher, with potentially libelous remarks about venerial disease and incest. -- Infrogmation 17:47, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Non-notable and vanity, I expect. Rich Farmbrough 15:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Incomplete nomination by Rich Farmbrough, who claims this is vanity. No vote. Radiant_* 15:09, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • * Hadn't finished the edit, sorry Rich Farmbrough 15:46, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Smells like vanity. JFW | T@lk 15:23, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Images by Rnt20 moved to commons

[edit]

I have now moved most of the images I put onto en.wiki to the wikipedia commons. The following en.wiki pages should probably now be deleted, as they are no longer linked to by wiki pages, and are duplicates of wikipedia commons pages:

Image:Black_hmong_women_sapa_1999.jpg, Image:Flower_hmong_women_bac_ha_1999.jpg, Image:Florence_duomo.jpg, Image:Ing_tels_sunset.jpg

I have now moved most of the images I put onto en.wiki to the wikipedia commons. The following en.wiki pages should probably now be deleted (also see above).

The following images have the same names on commons.wiki as on en.wiki, so they could be deleted from en.wiki

Image:Not_telescope_sunset_2001.jpg, Image:Subaru_keck_tels.jpg, Image:Cam_colls_from_johns.jpg

PS is there a better way to move pages from en.wiki to commons.wiki? There is nothing in the Wiki help or FAQ.

Rnt20 16:54, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

These belong on WP:IFD, where they'll be dealt with much more quickly (and much less contentiously). —Korath (Talk) 17:38, Mar 18, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: Are you using different names in the commons? For example I couldn't find an Image:Florence duomo.jpg on Commons. -- Infrogmation 18:24, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The first four have different names (they are a bit more specific):

Image:Black_hmong_women_sapa_vietnam_1999.jpg, Image:Flower_hmong_women_bac_ha_vietnam_1999.jpg, Image:Florence_italy_duomo.jpg, Image:Ing_telescopes_sunset_la_palma_july_2001.jpg

The other images have the same names. Rnt20 20:45, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was Speedy delete. --Carnildo 04:20, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The article claims he is one of the formost artist advocates of gay rights, but he has no relevant google hits. Delete as not notable. Thue | talk 21:18, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)

  • Speedy delete as probable and likely hoax or personal attack. --GRider\talk 21:44, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • Comment. I have followed this up with a {{speedy}} tag combined with a note on the talk page. --GRider\talk 21:47, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
    • I would think this is vanity rather than a personal attack. Thue | talk 21:58, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete. No matter if personal attack or vanity, it's not worth to keep. --Neigel von Teighen 21:59, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, not notable, possible personal attack. Megan1967 23:15, 18 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, nn attackcruft. ComCat 02:44, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)
