No. I personally do not have access to any of the 250+ books on drinking games you continually refer to, so I personally cannot verify the existence of any of these games. These articles were a proceedual nomination based on the aborted mass nomination at
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Circle of Death (drinking game), and the "relist individually" suggestion of at least four different editors.
All those articles were nominated for the same reasons, a lack of verifiable information taken from reliable sources. If someone can go "But wait, it definitely appears here, published on this date by this company" then I will be happy to reconsider my own personal stance on the article, as I have done for a few of them now. However, saying "There's 250 different books on drinking games, its gotta be in there somewhere!", doesn't really cut it for me. --

Please delete this as necessary
We cancel each other out. No question. I really hate seeing your votes at Afd that cancel mine out or actually double cancel mine out. No consensus can be reached without compromise, just ask members of congress. We need to engage in give and take. If you want to keep memes and I would like to get rid of lies such as "Cleveland steamer," we should talk. Feel free to archive this immediately.

Keane articles
Hi there
Sorry about the Keane articles the other day but I couldn't read your messages at time. I read them and I realized I was wrong about separating the songs because any other band has it (Thanks for that) and because some songs were really stubs, so I revert some of my last changes. I took part of your edit and mix it with more info.
About the EC and TITLT singles, I decided to keep both two discs in the same page but making a clear difference between them avoiding future confusions from visitors or another Wikipedians.
I 've also added the midi music samples in the repaired list of songs, now separated from the main Keane article and separating unreleased songs from released ones.
See you and thanks again:)
Regardless of when an AfD starts, it can be closed at any time to an administrator's descretion. On this AfD we had a concensus to delete (with some speedy votes) and so it was closed early, and the article deleted. Thanks, — FireFox (

Have a look at
today's AfD page. Note that quite a few discussions have been closed already due to a clear consensus. The same applies here. In this specific AfD, we have 15 delete votes, against 1 keep. That is a clear consensus. Where admin discretion comes into it you ask...

WP:UCS. — FireFox (

There is nothing saying AfD's must be left open for the full 5 days. They can be closed at admin discretion, when the admin feels a consensus had been reached and it had. Therefore, I stand by my actions. I'm going to sleep now so I'll answer any further questions tomorrow. — FireFox (
UTC) 21:40, 27 May '06
If I had closed purely on votecounting, it would probably have been closed no consensus, with 6 deletes against 4 keeps. The AfD had already been relisted, and had therefore been open 10 days and needed closing. I read through the discussion and came to my 'conclusion' of deleting based on the information given by everybody, including you, and coming to my own desision. I don't really know how to explain the closure of an AfD - I closed it how I did because that seemed the
most sensible thing to do. —
FireFox 13:38, 28 May '06
I don't mind that you closed it, I am simply curious as to how you came to the delete decision. Since you admit that straight vote counting would have gotten a no consensus, and (at least by my view) not much was offered in terms of a reason to delete, I'm simply wondering what you used as a sensible interpretation. --

Too bad, so sad. Grow up: stop spouting obvious and transparent nonsense -- either because you are hoping no one notices or because you are incapable of doing otherwise -- and I've got no problem with you. You are allegedly a college grad: if you had tried any of your empty rhetorical stunts -- airily proclaiming something to be true with not the slightest shred of evidence and stamping your feet and pouting when called on it -- in any of your papers, the TAs/professors would have bounced them back so fast your head would have spun: it's not going to work here, either. This is a reality-based encyclopedia, not, as you seem to imagine, a faith-based one: Tinkerbell doesn't exist, and closing your eyes and wishing something were so doesn't make it so.

June 6, 2006 is National Day of Slayer which invokes the day 6/6/06. The public is promoted to:
Listen to Slayer at full blast in your car.
Listen to Slayer at full blast in your home.
Listen to Slayer at full blast at your place of employment.
Listen to Slayer at full blast in any public place you prefer.
DO NOT use headphones! The objective of this day is for everyone within earshot to understand that it is the National Day of Slayer. National holidays in America aren't just about celebrating; they're about forcing it upon non-participants.
Taking that participation to a problematic level:
Stage a "Slay-out." Don't go to work. Listen to Slayer.
Have a huge block party that clogs up a street in your neighborhood. Blast Slayer albums all evening. Get police cruisers and helicopters on the scene. Finish with a full-scale riot.
Spray paint Slayer logos on churches, synagogues, or cemeteries.
Play Slayer covers with your own band (since 99% of your riffs are stolen from Slayer anyway).
Just dropping a line to say that you're completely right in your vote for keep in the
Save Me (Remy Zero). Before you put the infomation up on the page, I thought the the area had been covered in the Golden Hum article. Because I live in the UK, I didn't know it reached 27th on the US billboard. My bad, and well done on making the article much better.

I am a fan of the Lancaster Barnstormers of the Atlantic League. I am working to improve all pages related to independent baseball. Thanks for your response and it would be great if you had any ideas to further improve these articles. Is there anything you would like to see? As I can see you are from Worcester, MA, I will improve the Tornadoes article soon. I kind of do different leagues and teams randomly. I started with the Atlantic because that represents where I am from, and the Can-Am after that as I am proud to be from the North.
I think the real question you should asking is why was
Trinity Grammar School, New South Wales nominated for deletion in the first place. The reason given by the nominator (a 16 year old from Mequon, WI) was that Trinity "does not seem to be notable or exceptional in any way" which is simply just not true. Trinity has a history of just short of 100 years and is one of the six
Combined Associated Schools of Sydney. But even if it wasn't, if was just a run of the mill 7-12 government high school, the requirement set out at
Wikipedia:Schools states that:
If a school article is verifiable and meets one or more of the following criteria, it should be kept:
It has 3 or more full and complete sentences of verifiable, factual information that is not published solely by the school itself, or already included/better located on a district or city wiki article (ie: phone book information does not count toward the sentence total, that includes city, address, district, or phone number(s)). Such information can be included in the article but will not count toward the sentence total.
It has one or more interwiki links (e.g. another version already exists in another language)
It has one or more PD/GFDL/free pictures
Bottom line, the article meets the criteria and should have never been nominated in the first place. I hope this clears things up. Regards --
Ianblair23(talk)23:36, 12 June 2006 (UTC)reply

We need to make a deal.
Politicians do it all the time, and without deals there can be no real compromise, but surely, with your background, you know that. I apologize for talking about you in the third person with Calton. I probably should have come to you first, and I especially realized that after more of Calton's rants. Calton's a good contributor, imo, but you two just don't seem to get along. I tried to identify a children's book for you to fix (with no expectation of return), because I read your interests on your userpage, and I'm more than willing to refer endangered articles to you when I find them, so that you may bring them up to article status. If you'd like me to abstain from votes on memes, I'd be willing to do that too. I personally think internet fads aren't worth recording, as they come and go, and due to my age, I've probaby seen quite a few from the early nineties that you haven't. Anyway, I'm willing to stay out of your memes and your music, and I'll even alert you of their impending doom as necessary, but I'd appreciate it if you didn't sabotage some causes that are near and dear to me. I hate advertising, I don't like that huge amounts of minor fictional characters get articles, but most of all, I hate trivia articles. I like reality. I think if we could support each other's agendas, we could make some real progress together. I think one of the main problems is that you believe in documenting pop culture intertextuality, and I do not. As a literary scholar myself, I think stories should largely stand alone, and the greatest ones do. What it boils down to is that I'm willing to help you advance your agenda, if you help me advance mine by not objecting. I think it's a win-win arrangement. Well, think about it, as I am sincere.

Crystal ballism
I'm glad you're one of the people who has actually read the "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball" section.

Thing was, it was a legitimate speedy; the article never claimed notability. You added the bit about them touring after it was undeleted, and now it wouldn't be a legit speedy.

Out of process is a very strong expression. I don't believe I did anything remotely controversial - substantively that is, not procedurally. Sorry about the delete vote - you're right.

Out of process may be strong, but it's true and it's becoming increasingly important given some folks's (and this isn't your M.O. and I don't want it to become one) ignoring of process. It's probably not a controversial result, but I see no reason to abandon process for it, even if you feel others have. Yes, I'm harping on this with a few people, but if we don't have process, we may as well not bother with this project anymore, because that small semblance of order is what keeps things running smoothly.--

Hi Jeff! There's ample precident for using WP:SNOW for closing all manner of processes on Wikipedia - AfD, RfA etc. Indeed,
Daniel Brandt has been SNOWBALLed once before on AfD.
I think the point here is that closing the AfD was out of process, but that the process itself was not suitable for the purpose. When a process won't work on what it is being used for, then SNOW is the ideal way of summing up the reasoning for aborting the process without spending valuable bytes explaining.
It's certainly much closer to my thinking in closing the AfD than declaring it a
WP:POINT would have been. And I'd rather not lie about my thinking just to make it fit with the correct
WP:OMGWTFBBQ policy page. Cheers!
➨ ЯЄDVERS09:42, 20 June 2006 (UTC)reply
The precedent is without merit, and, in fact, we have
a policy against binding precedents. Snow is not policy or guideline, and should be avoided as it's often divisive and inflammatory. Please consider using a different rationale if you feel the need to ignore the processes in place. The Brandt AfDs have been POINT violations, not snow closes. --
badlydrawnjefftalk10:46, 20 June 2006 (UTC)reply
There were 14 keeps, of which 11 were speedy. There were 4 deletes, of which 1 was Brandt himself. Regardless of whether Brandt was making a
WP:POINT, this eighth AfD didn't have a snowball's chance of going anywhere. You personally may not like WP:SNOW and the rationale given therein, but the fact is that the page exists, SNOW is used quite often, there is precedent (binding or otherwise), and that my reason for closing the AfD was to be found entirely in the text of WP:SNOW and there's no reason I should pretend to have another line of reasoning just to suit people who don't like the SNOW idea/wording/etc.
My best advice to you would be for you to nominate WP:SNOW for MfD if you don't like it existing. Make your points there and see what the consensus for its existance and use is. That seems better than repeatedly telling me that I was wrong for using something you don't like. Thanks.
➨ ЯЄDVERS11:01, 20 June 2006 (UTC)reply
I already have. It didn't work, unfortunately. It was kept for historical value, since it's not a policy or guideline. Since there are better reasons to close it, it would be preferable that admins use existing policy to close AfDs instead of divisive essays which have no basis in the workings of WP. You could have done so too, that's all. I'm sorry you're offended by my telling you that your invoking of a divisive essay was wrong and out of process, but it unfortunately was, as Brandt Afds are closed because they're point violations, not due to the nonsense that is WP:SNOW. Please reconsider your closing statement. --
badlydrawnjefftalk11:24, 20 June 2006 (UTC)reply
Hi again Jeff. I can't reconsider my reasoning for closing the Brandt AfD as my reasoning was WP:SNOW. Giving another reason now would (a) be rewriting history and (b) be lying. Whether SNOW is official or not or not to be invoked, whether there is precident or not or not to be followed, whether there are other reasons that others may have used or not, it doesn't matter: the fact is, I closed the AfD because the process involved was not fit for the issue at hand, and the shortcut
WP:OMGWTFBBQ-wording for that is WP:SNOWBALL. I'm sorry I can't rewrite history, but then again, a glance at the diffs would just show everyone that I had tried to - thereby making doing so pointless in the extreme. Cheers.
➨ ЯЄDVERS11:35, 20 June 2006 (UTC)reply
No, you could, but i understand you won't, and tht's fine. I hope that you'll consider not using WP:SNOW as a reason in the future, as it's grossly out of process and not widely accepted. Thanks! --

It's a subset of

Just zis Guy you know?16:28, 23 June 2006 (UTC)reply
Yeah, but if I can keep shifting the attention AWAY from WP:IAR and start crafting our policies to better serve what we're typically doing anyway (see the recent change at speedy keep for an example), it's a plus. Part of that is changing the attitude that the processes simply don't matter, when we can probably find a process to fit the situation, such as with Brandt AfDs. --

Jeff, you might want to make some kind ofd statement re speedy A7. I think it's unlikely you would leave an article which says, in effect, that "Joe Bloggs is a senior at Mudhole Flats High" (i.e. no assertion of notability and no realistic possibility of verification) but I think some people would like to be reassured that if an editor tags an article you would, rather than simply removing the tag, PROD or AfD it, in a janitorial capacity, or fix it so the assertion of notability is plain to see, or userfy it if it's an obvious autobiography. I am confident this is what you would do.

Sorry for the delay, I was away for a few days. I've deleted the page, feel free to write a new article that does establish notability. From the state of the previous article I can't ever see it passing AFD, but good luck anyway!

I'm having trouble gelling your responses to answers 1 and 6. If you come across something marked for speedy under CSD A7, what would you do with it? If you think it's sufficiently notable to escape speedy deletion, then the original nominator would probably send it to AfD. But AfD has become exceptionally busy, so if you don't delete, the risk is that AfD gets clogged with things that the community would vote to delete anyway. Your thoughts?--

It'd really depend on the situation. i'm obviously not going to delete something thatshows notability, but I'm more than likely going to avoid the A7s as to not anger anyone about it. --

I like you, don't know all the rules to this thing, but you I like. I give up on trying to fix this thing; Pepper is a pioneer in my industry but i just cannot seem to figure this wikipedia thing out between "advertisements", POV (which I thought I cleared up but i guess not), "encyclopedia type" entry. Thanks for your contributions to the page and i'll let the experts update from now on, I'm going back to sternfannetwork.
One question though, why was the picture taken down? It's famous in our circles, created by Ric Machin and used in trade publications and literature when she speaks. I even got Ric & the company blessing to the pic. Are only photographs acceptable for individuals?

Well, mostly because I'm not sure the copyright situation is clear enough, and I doubt the folks who "own" it wouldn't be interested in a
GFDL license for it. It's certainly a nice image, but I'm not sure it fits the encyclopedic image. Either way, good luck! --

Please refrain from undoing other people's edits repeatedly. If you continue, you may be
blocked from editing Wikipedia under the
three-revert rule, which states that nobody may
revert an article to a previous version more than three times in 24 hours. (Note: this also means editing the page to reinsert an old edit. If the effect of your actions is to revert back, it qualifies as a revert.) Thank you.

It takes two. Since the only other person editing the article was you (right), you're basically saying that you're done "contibuting" for the day, now that you've run out of reverts? Good for you!

Yeah, who the hell knows. It's going to depend on a few factors that I hope get taken into consideration, methinks. I think I'd do well with penalty kicks, though. --
