This is an obscure implementation detail of UseModWiki. The article tries to dress it up as some general mechanism, but that's clearly not the case. While the contents is probably verifiable by checking the source of UseModWiki, I don't think it passes WP:N. Pcap ping 09:30, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Procedural nom, contested merge to List of NCIS characters with an incorrect claim that the merge was not discussed. Article was tagged {{mergeto|List of NCIS characters}} for over 1 month. Per WP:FICT, "individual character articles ... should only be created when the alternatives are not feasible".

Despite being a major character in a notable series, notability is not inherited by the characters. This article does not establish real world notability of the character independent of its series. No reliable third party sources and just made up of unnecessary plot summary and original research.

List of terrorist Incidents in Israel

List of terrorist Incidents in Israel (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

The article claims to be a "List of terrorist incidents in Israel". It is in fact a direct copy of the only source cited, a list which appears without references on a blog[1]. There are no inline references for any of the hundreds of incidents listed, and no reliable way of verifying them.

A large proportion of the incidents listed did not actually take place in Israel, but in the 1967-occupied territories.

Although the article starts "All of the below terrorist attacks are against innocent civilians", a large proportion of the victims are actually members of the armed forces.

Much of what is verifiable in the list is already included in one of the several other similar articles; anything missing could easily be added to one of them. RolandR (talk) 09:22, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

Rob Capriccioso

Rob Capriccioso (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Article is BLP describing relatively unknown person, lacks obvious claims to notability, and provides no reliable sources for the claims it does make. Article includes numerous links to subject's website, otherwise is exclusively original research. Earlier this month I looked for appropriate citations and came up empty. Prod rejected by article creator, asked creator to provide sources, but none have been forthcoming. Recommend delete on grounds of lack of notability and verifiability. --Ten Thousand Bullets (talk) 15:47, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Regarding your desire to delete this entry, the subject has been recognized by members of Congress and his work has been read into the Congressional record, which, according to National Press Club research, is noteworthy and unique. References backing up these facts and others in the article are provided as links within the article. Further, according to the Native American Journalists Association, there are very few Native Americans working in the press today. The subject's inclusion is warranted based on merit and the sheer uniqueness of being a recognized Native journalist who has worked for both mainstream and Native-focused outlets. In short, the subject qualifies under Wikipedia:Notability_(people) because: The person has received a notable award or honor, or has been often nominated for them; The person has made a widely recognized contribution that is part of the enduring historical record in his or her specific field. Additionally, several journalistic outlets for which the subject has written have run his birthplace and tribal enrollment. Their fact-checking must be considered to fit the conditions of reliable, secondary sources. Dcwash (talk) 17:17, 26 November 2008 (UTC)dcwash
Dcwash is the creator referred to above, and we've discussed some of these things on Dcwash's talk page and on my own. (I also let Dcwash know I was making this recommendation.) Dcwash asserts that these sources exist but has not provided references for them, casting doubt on their existence. Even if these details could be confirmed, the subject still has not been the subject of any independent studies or news coverage, and both are reasons for my eventual nomination for deletion. Ten Thousand Bullets (talk) 17:35, 26 November 2008 (UTC)
  • Comment - Hello Dcwash, I reviewed links – additional sources and did some supplementary research and still believe Mr. Capriccioso falls short of inclusion at this time. Addressing your major contentions, the first being that members of Congress have recognized Mr. Capriccioso and his work has been read into the Congressional record, is somewhat misleading. An article that Mr. Capriccioso wrote was cited, one sentence, by Mr. Stacy Dixon in testimony BEFORE THE SENATE COMMITTEE ON INDIAN AFFAIRS and Mr. Capriccioso was addressed in a footnote as the author. Regarding his writings for the New York Post, I cannot seem to locate them in any of my searches. In fact, the only independent – verifiable – creditable sources I was able to find are the three I addressed in my earlier opinion. Hope this helps explain my reasoning. Good luck to you and Happy Thanksgiving. ShoesssS Talk 20:19, 26 November 2008 (UTC)

Jau Gwei

Jau Gwei (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

Previously nominated for deletion. This unsourced article is incapable of improvement. The interesting expression is but an unauthoritative definition of the commonly used Cantonese expression to describe flight of street vendors from police. Its use is exclusively in Cantonese and is virtually unknown in the English language, unlike Gweilo. GSearch results in recursive references to WP mirrors and other blogs, none of which are acceptable references. Ohconfucius (talk) 09:04, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

This article appears to be a hoax, or wishful thinking. There is no such announcement by Valve. The product does not exist and Valve would have only just started it if it is being produced now, meaning that any information on this product would be pure speculation.

Prime Minister of the United States (|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View AfD)

The article's opening sentence puts it well: "There is no Prime Minister of the United States." The article is a collection of witticisms which use the expression, not a discussion of the (non-existent) topic. Steve Dufour (talk) 06:47, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

None of the sources seem to be about the expression, they just use it in various ways. (p.s. Reading the first AfD discussion gave me a real sense of WP history :-) )Steve Dufour (talk) 07:02, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

I believe that this article is about an Internet radio station. It may not be notable enough for inclusion. It is probably also self-promotion (consider the username of the original author). The article contains a stream of consciousness that is difficult for me to place in context. Richard Cavell (talk) 06:53, 2 December 2008 (UTC)

This article describes a future product that is not yet complete. It is unclear whether the product is a computer game, a demo, or a social networking utility.
