This article was recently moved. There seemed to be a different article here recently, on a geometric shape, but no sign of it now. Its archived here at least: [1] Tom Ruen (talk) 08:46, 8 June 2015 (UTC)

Facebook likes as secondary source
[edit]This discussion has nothing to do with improving this article, but complaining that another article was deleted through the AfD process. This talk page is not WP:Deletion review. Under WP:TALK guidelines, I am closing this topic. —Farix (t | c) 11:11, 15 July 2015 (UTC)

I have 7,669 likes listed on my Facebook account, the majority of which are pages on Wikipedia. The other day I noticed a new image from the manga series Flower of Life on my page of likes. I did not recognize this image, so I clicked on the image. To my surprise the Flower of Life page on Wikipedia, that I had originally liked, had been replaced by this page on the manga series. I then learned that the original page had recently been deleted because of a lack of secondary sources. Don't thousands of likes by Facebook users such as myself serve as as appropriate secondary source according to Wikipedia guidelines? If they don't, then they should. The tyranny of the few be damned. “Tyranny is the exercise of power beyond right, which nobody can have a right to; and this is making use of the power any one has in his hands, not for the good of those who are under it, but for his own private, separate advantage.” - John Locke (Two Treatises of Government) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.246.41 (talk) 22:08, 3 July 2015 (UTC)
The question is whether or not Facebook likes qualify as a secondary source. According to the Wikipedia page on secondary sources, "Secondary sources involve generalization, analysis, synthesis, interpretation, or evaluation of the original information." Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_source . Analysis, synthesis, interpretation and evaluation adequately describe the processes that I use to decide whether or not to like a Wikipedia page on Facebook. Is there documentation in the Wikipedia that explicitly states that Facebook likes do not qualify as secondary sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.246.41 (talk) 04:22, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
I now have 7,723 likes on my Facebook page. Yes, can you institute a policy against using Facebook likes as a secondary source, even though the guidelines describe quite well the process I use to decide whether or not to like a page? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.246.41 (talk • contribs)
OK, you win. This page deserves to be deleted. I also just deleted my Facebook account. The likes didn't matter anyway, right? What about all my friends? Do their voices matter? Who decides? You? Wait, I almost forgot. Wikipedia is not the real world. Neither is Facebook, nor the Internet for that matter. They only amplify it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.246.41 (talk) 23:56, 12 July 2015 (UTC) You can't make this up. I go and create another Facebook account and proceed to like over 250 pages. Facebook then notifies me that since I have liked too many pages too quickly, it has unilaterally deleted all but 240 of my likes. How is this arbitrary enforcement of Facebook's policies any different from your actions to unilaterally delete this page, let alone decide that my content is off-topic? I get it, you are simply following the rules. Rules are superseded all the time. I anticipate your deletion role will be made redundant by a more democratic process that enables users to vote whether or note a page should be deleted based on the body of evidence. The last time I was censored to this extent, I ended up voicing my concerns directly to the editor. He took care of the situation by overhauling the entire comment system (e.g., by replacing the human censors with a more democratic, self-correction process). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.72.246.41 (talk) 06:01, 15 July 2015 (UTC) |
reinstate the geometry flower of life
[edit]As with the discussion above, nothing said here has anything to do with improving this article. This is not a place to complain about the deletion of a different article through the AfD process. If you disagree with the deletion of that article, got to WP:Deletion review. —Farix (t | c) 03:09, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

The style in which you have removed this article is shameful, obviously you wiki users are not much into these types of subjects, and could not care less if the article is about a symbol written and talked about by millions in the world, and if it is a manga series. All those who have contributed and read the article in the past years have done so because they have an interest in the subject. if all people taking an interest in the subject logged on and gave their opinion, you would be outnumbered by thousands. This symbol was not invented by drunvalo melchizedek, it is a naturally formed symbol that has many stories attributed to it, one of the people who has written about it is drunvalo. i dont believe you are entitled to remove it BECAUSE he wrote about it no matter what his story is. It exists in many places of the world, one of the oldest is thousands of years old, on the column of the osirian temple in abydos, egypt. It predates modern civilization. Maybe drunvalo coined the term flower of life but it is now generally accepted around the world and literally millions of people talk about it, draw it, read about it, tattoo it etc. www.google.com/search?q=osirian+temple+flower+of+life www.google.com/search?q=leonardo+da+vinci+flower+of+life also, leonardo da vinci has written and illustrated the flower of life long time ago so what is the issue here?? there are many geometric figures in this subject https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metatron%27s_Cube metatrons cube is one Odarcan (talk) 14:01, 24 August 2015 (UTC)
AS YOU CAN SEE NONE OF THE PEOPLE WHO VOTED TO REMOVE THE FLOWER OF LIFE PAGE ARE FOLLOWING THIS PAGE, AFTER 5 DAYS I WILL CREATE A DISAMBIGUATION PAGE212.253.189.172 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 16:48, 1 September 2015 (UTC)
Excuse my French, but WTF? This comic book, what is that? Flower of Life is first and foremost a world famous geometrical pattern made out of intersecting circles! This pattern is known in just about every culture across the globe and have most likely been so since the invention of the compass. The (archived) deletion discuss page is mind numbingly ignorant reading. This is a pattern so basic and so important that it forms the very basic building block, or skeleton pattern, for multiple other patterns that can be derived from it, see e.g. the page on Girih, especially the image example in the section "Construction". IMHO you will be able to ask any professional working in the Creative Arts anywhere on the globe the question "What is the T.o.L?", and the answer will be this specific geometrical pattern, not that utterly misplaced comic book. As for the person/author being discussed on the deletion page, none of his authorship is relevant to the professional use of this pattern in the Creative Arts of today, and it was not relevant either when the pattern was used a thousand years ago (edit: a thousand years may be exaggerating. But then it may not be so. It all depends on the date of invention of the compass, my guess is that we've had the compass for longer than 1,000 years). This pattern is just as important to the graphic arts, and pattern making in general as water is to ice making. So, please delete this utterly irrelevant and embarrasing comic book page, and (re)create a basic page featuring the geometrical pattern. Thx clsc (talk) 00:08, 23 September 2015 (UTC)

Requested move to Flower of Life (manga)
[edit]This is not the place to discuss the deletion, nor would it be if it was still the talk page of the deleted article. As I was the one who closed Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flower of Life (2nd nomination) this can be discussed on my talk page. Alternately you can challenge the deletion of deletion review. Please do not post about this deleted article further here as it is off topic. HighInBC (was Chillum) 22:29, 25 September 2015 (UTC)

I recommend a move of the book article back to Flower of Life (manga) and the article Flower of Life can be a redirect there. Then this talk page can continue discuss the obvious need for a reinstated article on the geometric version, and the Talk:Flower of Life (manga) page can contain a reference to this page. A google search [9] finds literally millions of references to the geometric figure and ZERO references to the comic book. People are going to continue coming to this page for information until the geometric figure is restored in some way. Tom Ruen (talk) 22:03, 25 September 2015 (UTC) The nonenglish wikipedias still have many article on the geometric figure an:Flor d'a Vida, de:Blume_des_Lebens, es:Flor_de_la_Vida, fr:Fleur_de_Vie, hu:Élet virága, pl:Gwiazda heksapentalna, and tr:Yaşam Çiçeği.
This talk page is not for discussing deleted articles. The page you refer to was deleted by consensus here: Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Flower of Life (2nd nomination). To discuss the deletion you need to do so on the talk page of the deleting admin, myself, or at deletion review. If there is a decision to restore the article then there can be a discussion about moving this page. HighInBC (was Chillum) 22:03, 25 September 2015 (UTC)
