Relisting per DRV: AFD 2 nom: This article asserts no notability through reliable sources, and is just a regurgitation of the plot of the various Bionicle stories from the novel and video game articles.

Deleted as CSD A7, in DRV some editors may have felt the text's mention of wealth was an assertion of significance or importance. Fails WP:BIO. Gwen Gale (talk) 03:25, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• Comment The WP:Music standard for songs does not work well with songs passed through the oral tradition. There have been several scholarly works that deal with children's "folk" songs, especially "subversive" songs. A search on Google scholar for "makes your teeth turn green" does generate two hits. If this deleted it should be without prejudice for recreation if a sourced version with essentially the same content is recreated. Dsmdgold (talk) 14:47, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

• Keep The first source is convincing enough for me. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 03:21, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Referenced and catalogued by notable publications. WP:MUSIC does not deal with folklore well, but that's a failing of MUSIC, not of this article. Ford MF (talk) 03:14, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment. I'd also like to note the circumstances of the extension of this AfD. After the previous contributors had voted "Delete", and while I was editing the article to put in appropriate refs, the article was in fact deleted by User:King of Hearts, who relisted it after I recreated it. Ford MF (talk) 03:18, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep, well-known song, now with reference (thanks FMF). NawlinWiki (talk) 03:16, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Howard Steven Brown

Howard Steven Brown (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Unsourced biographical article. I have searched for sources about this person but I have been unable to find any connection between the person's name and the foundation he reportedly founded. I previously userfied this article because it was created by User:Hsbrown00 and the subject's initials would make him H. S. Brown. As it turns out, User:Hsbrown00 claims not to be the subject, asked that this article stop being deleted (two other admins have each deleted it once), and claimed that there are sources. So I am taking this to WP:AFD now for other editors' viewpoints. Please note that the User:Hsbrown00 page has not been edited since it was userfied; thus, it is not certain that the article is a conflict of interest/autobiography. Regardless, though, it looks appropriate for deletion per WP:BIO due to lack of verification and sources. Metropolitan90 (talk) 02:39, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Allegations of Israeli apartheid

Allegations of Israeli apartheid (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Posting on behalf of another user as follows: 1)Article fails to deliver the political neutrality championed by wikipedia. That in itself should be more than enough reason to delete. 2) It is politically biased. Article is thoroughly sourced, but article is overly-dependent on biased sources (like Uri Avnery). Article fails to deliver the balance necessary to be hosted on wikipedia. 3)The article has been in clean up limbo for more than a year, but nobody has made any real attempt to do a write-up. 4)The whole concept of an Apartheid regime in Israel is flawed. The Arab minority in Israel are full citizens with voting rights and representation in the government. In the apartheid regime in SA, blacks could not vote and were not citizens of the country in which they are the overwhelming majority of the population. The article has no room for this fact. 5)Segregation is debatable, but Allegations of an Apartheid is far too sensational. 6)Unfair voice. There is no "proponent" section. The article is one big slant and has no balance. I cannot emphasize this more. 7) Some of the original authors have been banned or disciplined for wikipedia violations, though I'm not sure how relevant that is. 8) The most recent nomination had a majority delete, though the consensus was none. Not sure how important that is, but thought I'd mention it. 9)All in all, I think it is a perfect candidate for deletion. I can't think of any other reason why it should stay other than the potential to be cleaned, which as far as I can tell won't happen any time soon. If I see some pursuit by other members to fix this article, I'll gladly drop my want to delete this article. thanks for the quick response.

• Keep Nobody's worked on it, but that alone is no reason to delete. Neither is a PoV dispute. This article has gone through seven AfDs and was kept each time. Ten Pound Hammer and his otters • ^{(Broken clamshells•Otter chirps)} 02:42, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• Speedy keep Seven AfDs strikes me as resolving the issue for a good long while. People need to stick to working on the content of the article. Thetrick (talk) 03:03, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep If it's POV, change it, it's not a valid reason to delete it. Nominator tries to explain why the allegations are invalid, but that's irrelevant to such a nomination, since the allegations have already been made, are citable, and it's not up to us to decide whether they're right or wrong. FunkMonk (talk) 03:28, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

• Delete unless sources are added to demonstrate that this is more than your "usual" mixtape. I {{prod}}ded an earlier version of this last week, and the rationale there ("Non-notable unreleased mixtape. I can't see any way this will ever be expandable to fit WP:N.") currently still stands. — iridescent 14:16, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
• Keep an entire article on Entertainment Weekly's website was dedicated to this mixtape. Thats more than "trivial coverage". Not to mention Julia Louis-Dreyfuss appears on this. Yes its slim, but its only been released for a week, I believe this nomination is premature.  ALKIVAR™ ☢ 02:19, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

no evidence of notability has been provided.

Naturopathic doctor (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

POV fork of Naturopathy, and a dangerous one: I did a websearch for "ND legal requirements naturopathy" and found this website which says "In a state without naturopathic licensure, anyone can call him or herself a ND regardless of the level of training, experience or competence." According to the NCCAM, [1], only 11 states in the United states actually do licence them. In other words, we are making claims that everyone who designates themselves an ND is a fully-certified, highly-trained professional, something that is actually only true of a minority. This article should be deleted as a POV-fork, and/or redirected to the main article. Shoemaker's Holiday (talk) 00:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Fail WP:BIO.The article contains no sources and I was not able to find any reliable source coverage of the subject.

The wikipedia article on Coast to Coast AM has a section about guests which he is not mentioned, he is instead mentioned in a section about callers. BlueAzure (talk) 00:15, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
