Bloomberg

Hey there, thanks for the message. Personally I agree with you. But the issue here is that the critieria by which administrators evaluate an article for whether it can simply be deleted without community consensus is whether or not the article itself makes an assertion of the notability of its subject. In this case, the article's assertion of notability is that this person is Michael Bloomberg's mother -- therefore, assertion having been made, it's no longer a candidate for speedy deletion. There then arises a separate question: is this assertion of notability enough for a Wikipedia article? The criteria for speedy deleting an article doesn't allow one administrator to answer the second question; that's why I removed the speedy notice. Only the community can, together, decide whether or not this assertion of notability is enough to warrant its own article. You can list an article for deletion consideration here. Hope that makes sense. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 20:03, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

If there's an assertion being made, then that automatically removes it from consideration as a speedy. It's up to AFD voters, then, to decide whether the assertion of notability is a hoax, wrong, insufficient, etc. Plain and simple. An appeal to notability based off the celebrity status of one's son is definitely an assertion. Whether or not that assertion is right, wrong, inadequate or anything else is up to AFD to decide. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 20:22, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

You changed your message to include some specific examples. If, for instance, the article had said "Charlotte Bloomberg, Michael Bloomberg's mother, is an alien," then I probably would've just fixed it myself and removed the speedy tag (that would simply be vandalism). If it was an article about a person about which it was not obvious that this person has some claim to notability (however dubious) and asserted that this person was an alien with no other content or context, then it could be speedy deleted as G1: Nonsense, G3: Vandalism, A1: No context, etc. But of course this situation was far different. · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 20:29, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

That's one way to fix it. =) Thanks · Katefan0^(scribble)/poll 20:38, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Meir Lichtenstein

I've tried to address the issue (or punt gracefully), and I had hoped that leaving the quote at the end would get the info across without characterizing Mayor Meir directly. My question for today is that if it's not because he's "ultra-Orthodox," then why is this Mayor different from all other Mayors? Is he notable if it's just because he's Orthodox (or Jewish)?

Hi there!

You have categorized Jackiey Budden as an actress. Would you really describe her in that way? She is the mother of a reality TV contestant and a tabloid figure in her own right. I wasn't sure how to categorize her myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Triangle e (talk • contribs)

• You do have a good point about not cluttering the tree with 50 state-specific school stubs. It's already a bit unwieldy in the geo-stub area. I see now that if I click on the Category for US-midwest-school-stub, it list the state-specific stubs on that page. I typically just use that main stub type page, but I guess I'll have to dig a little deeper from now on. Thanks for pointing this out, as I had no idea it even existed. See you around!

Religious fanaticism

First, I told Loom91 on the AFD page that Catholics weren't the only religious fanatics. Second, Loom91 reverted everyone else's changes, even keeping his spelling errors. Third, Loom91 took out many of the examples, even though they're obviously relevant to the subject, show the history of the subject, and broaden the definition of the concept. I would have kept some of his changes if I honestly thought that they were worth it, but it was just a statement of what is obvious.

I fully understand the concept of res ipsa loquitur, but I was actually not referring to a tort itself, rather the words used. I was saying, the word fanaticism speaks for itself as POV.

Saul Wahl (1541-1617) was a remarkable personage who according to legend, occupied the throne of Poland for a short time in 1586. Several prominent Jewish Families having genealogical lineage as being his descendants, but opinions differs as to whether or not he actually occupied the Polish throne, with some disputing if he actually existed.

Asian/Europen University stubs: Azerbaijan

Hello. I noticed you've been doing a good thorough job stubbing the universities in Europe/Asia (I worked on some articles in Lativia and Azerbaijan). However, I've noticed one problem that's certainly going to come up when a few Azeris see it: Azerbaijan is geographically considered a part of Europe, as per the Europe article (see the this wikipedia photo [3]). To be more accurate, Azerbaijan is a transcontinental nation, a good article worth glancing at (and I'd argue more "European" in geography than their Turkish cousins). I know from my interactions with the Azeri community that they consider themselves a part of geographic Europe. I worry that this may end up as some kind of very passionate (and less logical) debate when one of them catches on. What do you think? Would you care if I went through and recategorized the Azeri universities as European (although I could probably keep Nakhichevan State as a Asian university. -- Bobak 17:05, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

So wait... I got a little confused by the two responses, do you want me to start going through an resorting as European (wouldn't be a problem)? -- Bobak 17:41, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

No problem, I would've made the same mistake if I didn't live with one. The first time I heard it, it threw me for a loop. I'm Persian and our Azeris don't consider themselves European. I guess the Russian Czars and Persian Shahs should've flipped a coin on who got to keep the group. Hah, kidding. -- Bobak 21:06, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
