Vote for Deletion
This article survived a Vote for Deletion. The discussion can be found here. -Splash 02:36, 20 August 2005 (UTC)

Can some explain the point of this "All the World's Schools Project"?
Hi, Tony, I am genuinely puzzled. I see that in one past debate you wrote

Schools are generally regarded as eminently noteworthy. I don't know about your country, but my country has lists of the institutions and sends inspectors round. We spend billions of pounds maintaining them, our kids spend most of their waking lives in them, and to put it briefly schools are a huge part of the society in my country--far more so than, say, the armed forces, and second only to the public health service. As to encyclopedic, that usually comes down to neutrality and verifiability. Because of the aforementioned inspections and the public appetite for information on schools, there is plenty of verifiable information about them. I shouldn't worry that anyone would mistake a school article for "meaningless garbage" and delete it. --Tony SidawayTalk 21:51, 3 August 2005 (UTC)

But it seems to me this misses the point. Noone would deny that schools and public education are terribly important. But why oh why does it follow that the world needs an individual Wikipedia article on every single school in the entire world? I really don't get it. Is it some kind of morale boosting effort? A plea for donations to the Alumni fund? An attempt to garner voter support for referendums to increase school spending? Please, in one paragraph, what is your goal here? If you can explain it, maybe I'll go back and change all my nay votes on the currently outstanding referendums you listed.---CH (talk) 00:23, 12 September 2005 (UTC)

 * For what it's worth, I archived my suggestions on avoiding this kind of VfD at All the world's whatever.---CH (talk) 01:40, 14 September 2005 (UTC)

GRider Link
It had previously been decided to remove all reference to partisan pages from this page and keep Schoolwatch neutral when it comes to schools per discussions between myself Tony Sidaway and others. GRider's page is fine on it's own but we don't need a link to a blatant and inflamatory page like his any more then we do to an article on deleting all schools. In addition GRider's page is redundant to this one when it comes down to it.Gateman1997 00:52, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Please provide a link which corroborates this. As far as I am concerned, both watchlists are useful, the GRider version even more so now that Nicodemus75 has apparently left Wikipedia (out of frustration).  There is nothing "blatant and inflamatory" about it, and if you wish to create your own list of schools for deletion I don't see why we can't link to that too.  Silensor 19:32, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Adding to what I just said, I've found that the pages are not wholly redundant; they seem to have different criteria as to what they will list, and are maintained on different schedules. One is not a mirror image of the other.  Silensor 19:35, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * (Edit Conflict) At one point I did have my own anti-school page, which is what led to Tony Sidaway and myself discussing and concluding that Schoolwatch should be a neutral site. GRider's page is blatantly pro-school, which is fine, but it has no place being linked to on the neutral site, just as my own page had no business being linked to. I don't have the discussion handy as it happened months ago, but I'll search for it.
 * Thank you. Perhaps you should reinstate your anti-school page if you feel the GRider one is too pro-inclusionist somehow, for balance.  ;-)  Silensor 19:46, 7 December 2005 (UTC)
 * Somehow I think that would be counter productive, however if users on both sides don't start taking the WP:SCH proposal seriously I'll seriously consider organizing an anti-school cabal.Gateman1997 22:47, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

 * I removed the link again. It's quite redundant, but that's not a huge problem.  The real problem is it seems to be seen as divisive.  Those wanting/supporting it, already know about it (don't need a link).  Anyway, I would ask somebody wishing its return to please explain exactly what unique value GRider's page has, that's not here.  --Rob 03:50, 8 December 2005 (UTC)

 * If there is a general consensus that the link to User:GRider/Schoolwatch is too controversial for the Watch/schoolwatch/Schools for deletion archive, I have no objection to it being removed. My attachment to the GRider Schoolwatch Programme is partially a sentimental one, but I also find it to be much easier to update.  They both serve their own purpose, and as Rob said those who wish to track it already know of it.  Bahn Mi 01:01, 21 December 2005 (UTC)

Articles for deletion/Whiting Lane Elementary School
This article was speedied less than an hour into the "debate." Per precedent for elementary schools, they probably shouldn't be speedied, as there's no mention of it being nonsense or a hoax. Does this deserve a deletion review? — Rebelguys2 talk 23:00, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I've asked the admin for his reasoning. If it was truly db-empty, then deletion was ok.  For instance, if it didn't say where the school was, and there could be more than one, than deletion may be justified, for lack of context.   If there was adequate context, then hopefully the admin will undelete/relist it.  Otherwise, a review would be warranted.  --Rob 23:28, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay. The speed at which that deletion was carried out made me think that there was a justifiable reason. But, on the off chance that the "elementary school vanity" and "cleanup tag" argument could possibly imply that it was not completely "empty," I thought it best to raise a flag over here. — Rebelguys2 talk 23:36, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

 * It was not an empty article, so the speedy deletion may have been somewhat dubious. The contents before being deleted were as follows:

 * Whiting Lane Elementary School is the greatest elementary school of all time. Located in West Hartford, CT, it is truly a great place to send your child daily.

 * End of article. Not much content was here, I'm afraid, but on that same token, it was not necessary to preemptively delete it either.  Silensor 23:45, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah that speedy deletion was out-of-process, since the article adequately identifies the topic, and we have huge numbers of geo-stubs that do no more. No point taking it to deletion review though, simpler just to recreate it. Kappa 00:16, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Lafayette High School (St. Joseph)
Fix it up or it's going to AfD. D e nni ☯  02:34, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Fix up your attitude or you're going to RFC. This is not the place to make demands, if you want an article to be cleaned up, use  and try asking politely.  Silensor 02:47, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Totals
I've removed the totals as needless scorecounting. Precendents aren't binding in AFD, and boiling everything down to numbers is often misleading.

I'm curious what purpose the numbers actually serve. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:27, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The page doesn't say anything about "precendents". The totals give an exact sense of how many nominations were made in a given month. Without the totals, users would have to add up the nominations themselves. I see no reason to remove that information from the page so I will again revert. Please seek consensus prior to removing valid content from the page. --JJay 21:31, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't see it as valid content. Please seek consensus before reverting good-faith edits. ¬_¬

 * Why would someone need to know how many nominations were made in a month? What purpose does that information serve? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:34, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This page exists to monitor deletions (afd, prod, speedy, etc) of school-related articles. The totals give a month-to-month overview of the trend in nominations, deletions, etc. It is, in my opinion, highly relevant to have that sort of information on this page. Your edit may have been in good faith....however, not understanding the "purpose" of valid content is not a license to remove it without discussion. --JJay 21:46, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

 * No one here is "scorecounting", as you put it. Please seek consensus before reverting JJay's change. Silensor 21:42, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * This page is being cited as source for a precedent. (Example) Precedent isn't binding on AFD and nobody is explaining any other reason that the result totals are there as anything but scorecounting. (It's nice that your opinion is that it's valid, but I'd rather like to know what reasoning you have; why is the "trend" useful or important, and more useful or important than disruption of AFD by implying that precedent is binding?) What other purpose do the totals serve? - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 21:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Precedent isn't binding but obviously it's significant. Take for instance WP:MUSIC, the template at the top notes that the page is useful because it explains precedent (that is, what people have done before in similar situations). Christopher Parham (talk) 04:43, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If someone is citing the page as a precedent, then I would assume the proper response would be to respond by saying that "Precedent isn't binding on AFD". If someone is "disrupting" an AfD, there are certainly ways of dealing with the individual "disruption". As I indicated, the totals give a rapid overview of the month-to-month trend in deletion of school articles. This information is highly useful for the many people working here on improving school articles. The information demonstrates whether attempts to improve school articles are meeting community acceptance and validation. As you know, school articles are frequently improved during the AfD/Prod process. The totals highlight the outcome of these efforts. They also allow me to quickly review the articles that were deleted in order to try to ascertain the reasons for the deletion. You may not consider that to be "valid" - perhaps because you do not edit school articles - but it is a real tool in the overall school project. --JJay 22:09, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Malls for deletion
Editors interested in locally important topics may wish to keep an eye on WikiProject Deletion sorting/Malls. Kappa 02:59, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Recent schools AfDs have resulted in deletion
Since this isn't a common event, I thought that users not paying as much close attention to the page might miss the events on their watchlists, I'm using this as an opportunity to point out that 3 recent school AfDs have been closed as deletions. JoshuaZ 06:12, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Only remarkable because of the overwhelming precedent of AfDs for schools failing, and the articles being kept. In general, the school articles being deleted as listed in this archive are done so because they utterly lack content and have no prospect of ever having content, are hoaxes or are non-secondary schools. Articles for schools outside the U.S. also seem to be at greater risk, perhaps because of the greater difficulty in finding sources. New articles also seem to have a greater mortality risk, perhaps being nipped in the bud before they had a chance to develop. Admins who have decided to take it upon themselves to "act boldly" -- often disregarding "keep" votes they feel are inadequately justified, while counting similarly unjustified "deletes" -- are another factor in the limited number of successful AfDs, though some of these articles that failed AfD have been challenged successfully and undeleted.. Other than that, the year-to-date has shown that American secondary schools with any non-trivial content have a near-perfect track record of retention, a demonstration of the overall consensus for retention of such articles. Alansohn 06:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Agree in parts, disagree in parts. Disagreements: First, The comment about admins acting "boldly" ( since I don't consider most of the deletes to be as "unjustified"(I'd rather not have this devolve into another school notability discussion. I'm more interested in discussing here what the numbers mean. Thus, I'm only noting this paranthetically)). More seriously, looking through the last few discussions I don't see any evidence for schools outside the US being more likely to be deleted. part of the issue is that the deleted sample is small at this point, so it would be difficult to have a statistically signifcant trend but even an eyeball count doesn't show any obvious trend. (If someone has time I'd be interested in seeing actual counts of the form deleted/nominated for both US and non-US. I suspect that if one broke it down into English speaking world and non-English speaking world the trend would be more pronounced). I also agree that American secondary schools with any non-trivial content have a "near-perfect track record of retention" although what each of us calls "non-trivial" may be different in this case. I strongly disagree that this is in anyway an indication of a consensus to keep such articles especially given the large fraction of such discussions that close as no consensus. JoshuaZ 07:06, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I think the numbers are relatively unambiguous -- at least two or three dozen school articles are created per day, excluding those which may be speedily deleted. So even on the banner days for school deletion, we gain twenty or more school articles. This is what I mean when I say we have a de facto policy of keeping schools -- if you exclude hoaxs and copyvios (i.e. the noncontroversial deletions), the rate of addition outstrips the rate of deletion by perhaps 100:1. I'm not sure that these numbers really mean much for our current discussions, except that they explain why inclusionists may believe that asking for school content not to be deleted is a reasonable request. Christopher Parham (talk) 07:37, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

 * Chris, that's an interesting way of looking at it by looking at the creation/deletion ratio. However, given that schools at this point are not nearly as speediable or proddable it begins to look a bit different. Also, I'm not sure that ratio is what matters- if we had a massive backlog of a certain type of article to get deleted and they were being created at a fast rate that doesn't mean that they should be kept. The relevant matter is really when the articles come to wide community attention (that is, get AfDed) what happens? However, that does give nice insight into what some of the inclusionists may be thinking. Thanks. JoshuaZ 07:45, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Further observations on recent trends
Deletions do seem to be getting more and more common. However, a new trend may be emerging- redirecting articles to their school districts without touching the history. In any event, JoshuaZ 16:40, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * And once that trend increases in frequency, why bother going through AfD in the first place? Just boldly do it, it saves all the fuss and bother that AfD debates usually become.  JYolkowski // talk 22:56, 27 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I think Joshua posted this here because of some comments on AFDs. I disagree with what his evaluation seems to conclude, but do NOT think that schools should be automatically speedy deleted, like JYolkowski does. --ForbiddenWord 20:49, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Please retract your incorrect assumption about my beliefs. Had you read this thread you would have realized I was referring to redirecting the articles, not deleting them.  If you pay attention to the school debates you might notice that I'm one of the more inclusionist people there.  JYolkowski // talk 23:59, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I concur with the above, and you don't get more deletionist wrt schools than me. But there are deep divisions and the proper place for an airing of views is AfD. Despite any shift, school debates remain mired in contentiousness, often resulting in no consensus, and that needs to be respected. Eusebeus 22:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

 * I actually put the above there because I thought it would interest users who keep track of this page. I doubted people would be notice much in the way of trends just from a few edit summaries so it seemed helpful to summarize what was going on over all. JoshuaZ 23:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Sir Lancelot (singer)

Lancelot Victor Edward Pinard (March 24, 1902 – March 12, 2001) was a calypso singer and actor who used the name Sir Lancelot. Sir Lancelot played a major role in popularizing calypso in North America, and Harry Belafonte has acknowledged him as an inspiration and major influence.

Early life
Pinard was born in Cumuto, Trinidad. His father, Donald Pinard, was a wealthy government official and Anglophile. Pinard attended exclusive parochial schools and his family regularly attended the opera (which gave him an informal musical education). He began singing traditional German lieder and Italian arias. He studied to be a pharmacist as a young man, and his family sent him to New York City to study medicine. After hearing a concert by the African-American lyric tenor Roland Hayes he gave up his medical education to study singing and music, and soon was performing classical works. He began including calypso in his performances, and eventually became a full-time calypso singer. About this time, he met the Trinidadian band leader Gerald Clark, perhaps the most significant promoter of calypso in New York City. Clark asked him to record some calypso songs, and Pinard agreed. He made his debut as Sir Lancelot in 1940 at New York City's Village Vanguard nightclub. He was a close friend of the photographer Seema Aissen Weatherwax, who took some of his first publicity photos.

Musical and acting career
Sir Lancelot became a regular at the Village Vanguard, and by the 1940s "was widely considered the hottest calypsonian in the city." His trademark became the tuxedo he wore in nearly every concert, and his popularity was nationwide for two decades. In the 1940s he returned home for the first time but was largely disowned by his family, which felt that his calypso singing had shamed them. Sir Lancelot wrote the calypso song "Shame & Scandal" (also known as "Fort Holland") in response.

Sir Lancelot toured with Lionel Belasco in California and Oregon in 1941. After a show in Los Angeles, he was offered a minor singing role in the picture Two Yanks in Trinidad (Columbia Pictures, 1942). His appearance was made possible by the Oscar-winning performance of Hattie McDaniel in Gone with the Wind just two years earlier. He made more than 15 films, and his significant film appearances include:
 * Happy Go Lucky (1943), where he sang Roaring Lion's 1933 calypso hit, "Ugly Woman."
 * I Walked with a Zombie (1943), his first of three films made by the horror producer Val Lewton, as a calypso singer. His "Shame and Scandal" is performed, as is "The British Grenadiers".

 * The Ghost Ship (1943), his second Val Lewton film, his first role in which he primarily acted rather than sang.
 * The Curse of the Cat People (1944), his third and last Lewton film, as Edward, a butler and cook
 * To Have and Have Not (1944)
 * Zombies on Broadway (1945)
 * Brute Force (1947)
 * Romance on the High Seas (1948)

In the 1940s, Sir Lancelot made numerous records (signing with Apollo Records), and sang in commercials. He also composed a score for the 1948 motion picture, Tarzan and the Mermaids. He allegedly made millions of dollars selling calypso records, and spent most of it.

Sir Lancelot was politically active for much of his life. After hearing Henry A. Wallace's "century of the common man" speech on May 8, 1942, Sir Lancelot composed the "Common Man" calypso song. Wallace later wrote him a long letter of thanks. He composed several popular calypso songs with left-wing lyrics in the 1940s, including "Defenders of Stalingrad" and "Walk in Peace" (1946). His stand on war and peace issues was so well known that a cartoon version of him appeared in Columbia Pictures' 1944 animated short film, The Disillusioned Bluebird (in which the calypso-singing character tells a bluebird that the world will not always be at war). According to Pete Seeger, the 1948 Lead Belly song "Equality for Negroes" was inspired by a Sir Lancelot song. Sir Lancelot became a U.S. citizen in 1960.

Sir Lancelot spent six years touring in Europe in the 1950s, which negatively impacted his career in the U.S. Sir Lancelot's last film appearance was in 1958 (with Yul Brynner in The Buccaneer), although he made a noted appearance in an episode of The Andy Griffith Show in 1967. Through the 1960s and into the early 1970s, he recorded several "Gospel calypso" songs. He was widely popular in Europe into the late 1960s. His popularity in the U.S. at the time was still strong enough for Sherwood Schwartz to use Sir Lancelot's musical style as inspiration for the original theme song to the television program Gilligan's Island and nearly had Sir Lancelot sing the theme. His music, too, endured, with Lord Melody covering "Shame and Scandal" in the 1960s. He continued to work as a musician until at least 1973, briefly coming out of retirement in the 1980s to perform at McCabe's Guitar Shop (Los Angeles) with Van Dyke Parks, Ry Cooder and other musicians. He also performed and recorded with Steven Springer, Arizona-based band Sanctuary, and his nephew Brian Pinard, recording his last album under the name "Knights of the Holy Trinity," with his last recording being "Pinardhymns – Religious Calypso."

Sir Lancelot was a Roman Catholic who married and had three daughters. He spent his last years in Australia with his nephew, Brian Pinard.

Sir Lancelot died of natural causes in Anaheim, California and is buried at the Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California.

Independents Group

The Independents Group was a short-lived Australian political party operating in the Australian Capital Territory. They briefly served as part of the Alliance government, alongside the Liberal Party and Residents Rally.

When the 1989 election was held, the No Self Government Party emerged as the larger of the two anti-self-government groups in the Assembly, electing three members, Craig Duby, Carmel Maher and David Prowse. However, unlike Dennis Stevenson's Abolish Self-Government Coalition, the No Self-Government Party's focus soon began to change from their original single-issue basis.

The first vote of the new Assembly saw Prowse voted in as the Speaker by the members. In late 1989, Residents Rally, who were supporting the Follett Labor government, began discussions aimed at forming a coalition government with the Liberals. They then turned to the No Self Government Party, who accepted the offer. However, as opposition to self-government itself was a core basis of their party, and it would have been seen as somewhat odd for them to then join a government, Duby, and Maher disbanded the party, and reformed as the Independents Group. Prowse joined the Liberal party in July 1990. The new party then became the third member of the Alliance government, and Duby, the old party's former leader, became Minister for Urban Services. Prowse retained his position as Speaker.

Whilst Duby was a vocal member of the government, and was often heard in the Assembly and media, Maher tended to be a less significant player in ACT politics. Nevertheless, the party were vital in sustaining the Alliance government for its eighteen-month lifespan. As long as the Alliance survived, however, they nevertheless maintained influence in decision-making. This was to end when the Liberal Party and Residents Rally fell out in late 1991, causing Residents Rally to move a no-confidence motion in the government. The Follett Labor government with Residents Rally and independents support returned to power. Prowse retained the Speakership.

Soon after, on 19 November, realising that the Independents Group was effectively dead, Duby quit the party to form the Hare-Clark Independent Party. With her influence in the Assembly reduced to practically nil, Maher continued under the Independents Group until the 1992 election. Both Maher and Prowse retired at the election, and though Duby contested the election with his new party, he lost his seat. By the 1995 election, the Independents Group was entirely dead, with none its members playing any further role in ACT politics.

Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pokémon Pearl and Diamond

 This page is an archive of the discussion about the proposed deletion of the article below. This page is no longer live. Further comments should be made on the article's talk page rather than here so that this page is preserved as an historic record. The result of the debate was keep.

I count 7 "delete" votes to 13 "keep" votes (one vandal and one troll discounted). A few of the "keep" voters added comments that indicate that they do not yet understand the meaning or purpose of verifiable but there still is clearly no concensus to delete. Rossami (talk) 23:02, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Pokémon Pearl and Diamond and Pokémon Diamond and Pearl
A yet to be released Pokémon game. Much of this article appears to be speculation from a fansite forum. JamesBurns 07:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

--JamesBurns nominated Pokémon Diamond and Pearl separately. "Speculation for an unreleased game. ... JamesBurns 10:59, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)" I have merged this here as the same action should be taken for both. Master Thief GarrettTalk 12:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete, WP is not a crystal ball. --bainer (talk) 08:59, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - Of vital importance -RicKKK 10:11, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * This was User:RicKKK's first ever edit. JamesBurns 10:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * User:RicKKK was blocked for violating policy by choosing a username that is the name of a well known Wikipedia user (RickK). Zzyzx11 (Talk) 12:12, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep assuming it's accurate. Pokemon games are notable. Everyking 11:16, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Tough one. The games really are to be published, and being official Pokémon titles, we know that they will very much be notable. However, looking at the biggest video gaming sites, practically nothing is known about the games except that they will be released on the Nintendo DS. I'm going to have to say delete, as I know that they'll be resurrected as soon as more details are available by a more honest Pokémon fan. Jamyskis 12:20, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Would be a valid topic real soon now, but current content is speculation. Weak keep but cut all nonverifiable text. Radiant_* 12:21, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Done, although there isn't much left over. Even the official Pokémon site doesn't have anything to say about the games. Jamyskis 12:39, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Is this the official American site? Just because they don't mention it, doesn't mean it is nt real.  Coro Coro is a better source of information on the games. Sonic Mew 21:49, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Split into two articles, Pokémon Pearl and Pokémon Diamond. They're definitely notable, and almost certain to be released, but why have them as one article? Andrew Lenahan - St ar bli nd  12:41, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * They are going to be practically the same game, so they are better off together. See: Pokémon Ruby and Sapphire, Pokémon Red and Blue, Pokémon Gold and Silver. Splitting would be silly as at this point it would be the same topic duplicated. Sonic Mew 13:07, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Weak Delete - At the moment this clearly a Crytsal Ball article, but by the time this vfd is done, more information will probabily be avalible. --JiFish(Talk/Contrib) 13:05, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * KeepJapan has a habit of unleasing info at any moment. A lot of people will find this notable, as it is of current interest.  So while this will be rewritten in november, its status at the moment is notable enough to keep.  The crystal ball theory shouldn't not be placed on everything unreleased, (such as it is for the next-gen consoles.  People want to know about them, so they are not up for deletion.) Sonic Mew 13:07, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

Important Comment: I have just realised that everyone has been voting for a different topic to the one up for deletion. Pokémon Pearl and Diamond is up for deletion. Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, (the official order,) is already an existing topic which is much more detailed. So I vote to Speedy delete Pokémon Pearl and Diamond and, (for reasons I posted above,) Keep Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Sonic Mew 13:15, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, fair enough, one should be redirected to the other. But the other topic you pointed us to is still a crystal ball article, and the sites to which the article link only prove what I said earlier - nothing is known about the games yet. My edit of Pokémon Pearl and Diamond is about as NPOV and current as it'll get. Jamyskis 13:19, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Serebii don't update those pages. Note that it even calls Munchlax by its Japanese name 'Gonbe'.  It is also a secondary source, as opposed to the magazine scans of Coro Coro, which do prove it. I'm only leaving it because it will be really useful when the games are released. Sonic Mew 14:10, Jun 1, 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, and keep that one, to prevent info being added in the wrong places. the wub (talk) 14:49, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect as above due to newly found info. --InShaneee 15:32, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete — a pre-announcement stub with no real content. If the page were more substantial it might be worth saving, but not at the moment. It can be created again once the games are out, if they ever appear. — RJH 16:35, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. Almafeta 18:56, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hang on a minute..You can't put this up twice! It was already up for vfd yesterday, why put it up again? Besides, none is speculation. It is all fact. Look at the Coro Coro magazine scans. This is confirmed information! Munchlax has even appeared in a game and the animé. I vote to delete this vfd as it is already on June 1st. Sonic Mew 13:45, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * It is the same discussion, moved here. Radiant_* 14:18, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. The game will be notable, and it will be released (look at the extent of secondary information). You can see it coming without resorting to a crystal ball. --Scimitar 15:23, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't think we need two articles on one game. Also, I'm removing the link to this delesion from the "Diamond and Pearl article. Joizashmo 16:30, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep - The game is comming out soon. Until that time, this is all we know about it.  Joizashmo 16:30, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep redirect Pearl and Diamond to Diamond and Pearl. K1Bond007 18:38, Jun 2, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep (but redirect Pearl and Diamond to Diamond and Pearl). These are games that have been officially announced by Nindendo, folks. Give your Pokemon vendetta a rest, already. Ketsuban (is better than you) 20:02, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * keep please this is no better than attacking schools Yuckfoo 21:31, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * KEEP, The game will eventually come out and get an article anyway. --GVOLTT 14:15, Jun 3, 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete speculation -> notability not established, games cruft. Megan1967 03:40, 4 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Does anyone actually look at the Coro Coro scans? I would have thought notability would be established by the word 'Pokémon'!  Anything else would be crystalballery.  Wikipedia is not paper!.  So 'cruft' should not be a reason for deletion, especially as the previous games in the series, (see template on page,) have done so well!  These are notable! Sonic Mew 20:32, Jun 4, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep, not perhaps of vital global importance, but notable enough for wikipedia. Kappa 21:02, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete notability not established. Leanne 10:33, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Did you read my response to the last person who said that? Sonic Mew 11:55, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)

When will the deletion notice will be deleted? Wikilord 16:08, Jun 14, 2005 (UTC)

 * This page is now preserved as an archive of the debate and, like some other VfD subpages, is no longer 'live'. Subsequent comments on the issue, the deletion, or the decision-making process should be placed on the relevant 'live' pages. Please do not edit this page.

Giovanni da Udine

Giovanni Nanni, also Giovanni de' Ricamatori, better known as Giovanni da Udine (1487–1564), was an Italian painter and architect born in Udine. A painter also named Giovanni da Udine was exiled from his native city in 1472.

Biography
As a student and assistant of Raphael, he was responsible for most of the "decorative" (i.e. non-narrative) elements of the major Raphaellesque projects in Rome, and he was a specialist in fresco and stucco grotesque decorations. These included the stucco work in the Loggia di Raffaello (Vatican, 1517–1519) and the heavy fruit-laden wreaths in the loggia di psiche in the Villa Farnesina. He also assisted in the construction of a few monumental fountains, which are now destroyed. He is also known for his drawings of birds and fruit.

Stucco discovery
One of his well-known discoveries is the art of Stucco, that Giovanni was the "new-founder" of after antiquity: occasioned by the discovery of the Domus Aurea, Nero's residence near the Colosseum: in the first year of the 16th century Raphael and his students went down "Mons Coelius" into tunnels that were formed to explore that area. With candles and torches they explored the caves and looked at the walls onto which were painted little heavy coloured figures that were named "grottesche (pl.), grottesca (s.)" because in the darkness, these images seemed like paint in ancient caves that in Italian was -and is- said like above. There was a strange "pictorial relief" onto which some of this "grottesche" were realised: it was Roman stucco, an important technique that the ancient Romans utilised to reproduce a marble effect, real marble was already too expensive by that time even for the Imperator (we have to think that there were all a "Domus" in marble, for a size as like as a range of KM 1.5 - 2 around Colosseum, it was the most famous residence of the Roman Empire).

After the death of Raphael, da Udine continued to work on projects initiated by his master, namely the Villa Madama in Rome. He continued his work until the sack of Rome (1527) when he departed to work in Florence, where he worked on the stuccoes in Sagrestia Nuova in San Lorenzo, and Venice, where he worked on the stucco decoration in the Palazzo Grimani, around 1540.

In Udine, he worked as an architect on the Torre dell'Orologio (Clock-Tower) and the Fontana di Piazza Nuova (Piazza Nuova Fountain). In Cividale, he helped in the construction of Santa Maria dei Battuti.

He returned to Rome in 1560 to work on the third floor of the Logge Vaticane, and died in this city in 1564.

User:Wallaby

Hello!
'lo all, I've Joined Wikipedia after using it for 3 Months hoping to help make wikipedia one of the greatest online wiki'd Encyclopedias. Hopefully i'll be of some use.

About Me
I'm 19 and from Brisbane,QLD (Currently residing in the states at the beautiful Myrtle Beach, South Carolina) I like to program games and someday hope to get a job within the field, or maybe one within music... Either is good! :)

What's with the name?
Why did i choose the alias 'Wallaby'? I'm a bit small for my age (but i'm not a dwarf, in case you're wondering...), therefor i'm comparable to the cute little relative of the kangaroo, the Wallaby. Plus i think they are cool.

There are five stamens opposite the sepals, alternating with five staminodes. The ovary has five locules and is more or less spherical with five shallow lobes and there are between four and six ovules in each locule. The fruit is a woody capsule splitting into five and contains brown, winged seeds.
