Noctopthalmophobia

Google shows 0 hits for this "term" DCEdwards1966 20:12, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)

Delete, Neologism. The correct spelling would be "nyctophthalmophobia", if I'm not mistaken (no, that doesn't Google either). Note that "ophthalmophobia" (the fear of being stared at) is real. No doubt there's a specific variant that only gives you the heebie jeebies at night, but this doesn't even get close to triskaidekaphobia in the interesting phobias department. JRM 20:25, 2005 Jan 6 (UTC)

The result of the debate was delete, apparently as a speedy. Deletion log shows:

17:53, 7 Jan 2005 Wile E. Heresiarch deleted ZZZ (speed delete: silly vandalism and patent nonsense)
20:59, 6 Jan 2005 Rfl restored "ZZZ"
02:48, 5 Jan 2005 Rfl deleted ZZZ (moved to WP:-) - was: "(nonsense template) Zanzibar zealous zygote ...")
14:53, 4 Jan 2005 Rmhermen deleted ZZZ (content was: '(nonsense template) Zanzibar zealous zygote')

ZZZ

I am unable to verify any of the information in this article. Looks like a hoax to me. — Ливай | ☺ 21:56, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I concur. Delete. I found several Winston Gopaul's on Google, but none that fit this description. Reads almost like a non sequitor. 23skidoo 00:58, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
del. hoax. Mikkalai 01:29, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
To verify the information in this article one only has to search Google for "Hulmut Unger" ZZZ. Not surprisingly, it returns nothing and suggests: Did you mean: "Helmut Unger" ZZZ—which also returns nothing. This article has already been deleted twice: Rmhermen deleted it on January 4, and I deleted it on January 5. This were both speedy deletions when the article was marked as patent nonsense. See the article’s history and its deletion log (the most recent entry—Rfl restored "ZZZ"—means that I have just restored the revision history of previous deleted versions). The copy of this article is now included in Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense, as I have already written on January 5 in Talk:ZZZ. This article was written by 66.184.196.138 whose only contributions to Wikipedia were reposting the ZZZ article [1] [2] [3] [4] [5], removing the Wikipedia:Votes for deletion notice [6], and posting the comment “I remember hearing about this in college in 1978. I am going to check through some old notebooks before I can pass judgement on this being nonsense. GoPaul and the Gerbelate were familiar however.” on Talk:ZZZ [7] (for the record, Google doesn’t know anything about Gerbelate). If you think that it is not patent nonsense and its deletion should be subject to voting—in which case you might want to remove it from WP:BJAODN—then my vote is Delete. Rafał Pocztarski 01:55, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)
I tagged this as a speedy when it said only "Z.Z.Z. Zanzibar Zealous Zygote" but the author evidently thought it worthwhile to expand it and remove the tag. It's highly unlikely there were any such 'indigenous tribes' in Zanzibar because it's actually quite a small island, and because of a fairly strategic position it was colonised very early (1503). Nothing in this article checks out. Delete and chuckle. Dbiv 03:18, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

The result of the debate was - kept

Norman Weiss

This article was voted for deletion once before, and the decision was made to keep it. As a historian, I spent great effort in attempting to clarify the innuendo and to flush out this entry. Nothing exists. The only pertinent information is this: Weiss and Epstein worked together on the Beatles American tours. That doesn't even need to be merged into the Beatles article; a simple edit will do, since it's a one-liner under the "history" section. Everything else in the Weiss entry are "weaselisms." Weiss may well be remembered by industry insiders; but does that constitute POV or fact? Check all the websites; his name isn't mentioned in either the Turtles or Tom Jones.

That it is well-written (thank you very much) does not preclude that this is NOT weaselism and therefore, does not belong in Wikipedia. I don't think authors often ask that their article entry be deleted. After a great deal of time and serious effort, I am reluctant, but adamant: there is nothing informative here. Nor is it likely that anyone can dig up anything substantive.

He existed. His contribution was important, but only in its proper context. allie 21:59, 6 Jan 2005 (UTC)

PhysiqueduSolide

Moved from Wikipedia:Pages needing translation into English:

Looks French... and almost like a cut&paste from a physics textbook ("Chapitre I - Introduction"), though Googling didn't turn up any matches. From an unregistered user with 1 edit. 68.81.231.127 11:11, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)
- It's about solid-state physics and looks like a copy & paste from something else. Judging by the random code, I'd say it was a computer file of some sort but I don't know what kind. It's also annoyingly lacking in diacritics. If it's not a copyvio I could perhaps add them and transwiki it into the substub fr:Physique du solide. Ливай | ☺ 19:56, 22 Dec 2004 (UTC)
French, textbook, accents got lost. Probable copyvio, too. And the title is in French and no spaces. Lupo 12:11, 21 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Given the above, and given that it's now sat there for 2 weeks with no one bothering to take it any further (e.g. to translate), I say the simplest thing to do i delete. -- Jmabel | Talk 23:37, Jan 6, 2005 (UTC)
- I agree that deleting this would be better than translating the possible copyvio, doing major format cleanup, and merging it with the various articles related to solid-state physics, which already discuss the topic more clearly and elegantly, especially for the layperson who only wants a cursory knowledge of the topic or is just beginning to study it. This article dives into a flurry of mathematical symbols by the second paragraph and is littered with unexplained jargon. — Ливай | ☺ 00:41, 7 Jan 2005 (UTC)

- The way to do this is with a Move. Although this could be done while the VfD is in process, there are so many ways this could cause confusion that it's better to wait and see whether it survives. For now, BenWilson should place a note on Talk:LexiconRPG saying that if it survives VfD he intends to move it to LexiconGame and explain why. The sole editor (except for the VfD nominator) has requested deletion of LexiconGame. It is essentially duplicate content from LexiconRPG so deleting it loses nothing important. It would have to be deleted to permit LexiconRPG to be moved later. For these reasons, I have deleted it now. If anyone wants it restored, just let me know. Dpbsmith (talk) 02:19, 8 Jan 2005 (UTC)
