The result was delete. Consensus (taking into account also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herb usage) identifies this collection of articles as unverifiable content forks and indiscriminate collections of information. Sandstein 05:40, 6 October 2009 (UTC) reply
A WP:WALL of many articles created by one editor ( Cottonball ( talk · contribs)) that is an enumeration of different uses and methods of plant and "materia medica" uses. A previous AfD ( Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Herb usage) excluded these articles and left the undesirable situation where we deleted Herb (General Usage Part 2) and Herb (General Usage Part 3), but not Herb (General Usage Part 1). In the view of many the last AfD, these articles aren't encyclopedic. See the full list below. Rkitko ( talk) 21:52, 12 September 2009 (UTC) reply
Full list of articles in this discussion:
In TCM Materia Medica (Plant Part 1), a line reads:
Given the context, Artemisiae is clearly feminine genitive, but -i is never a feminine genitive ending (it's a genitive ending for masculine and neuter). Further investigations revealed that the plant's name was Artemisia Sacrorum [1], apparently coming from the adjective sacer, sacra, sacrum, "sacred", used substantively as a noun. This implies that Sacrorum is genitive plural. However, this would mean that the proper way to put the plant in genitive is Artemisiae sacrorum, with the second word unchanged. This appears to be the work of an amateur Latin student blindly adding a genitive ending to every single word in the plant name, oblivious to the meaning of the original form. The result is that the list is totally useless. Tim Song ( talk) 22:11, 19 September 2009 (UTC) reply |
If any admin would like to override this non-admin relist and close this AfD, I have no objections in them doing so. Cunard ( talk) 08:23, 4 October 2009 (UTC) reply
