Gingrich the Were-Grinch (for his violent podium-pounding speeches before sympathetic audiences), head on an ape body like the Darwin apeman. The right is essentially animalistic; the further you get up the evolutionary scale, past reptiles to mammals, pack mammals, and to humans, the more socialistic the behaviour.

Gonna break down and add computer games articles. Many will hate this. But that is kind of the point. Not that I want to inconvenience anyone, it is just that there is a widespread prejudice (in the sense of judging something before knowing all the facts), and on WP, systemic bias (with the result of comp games articles being really in an atrocious situation), against video games.

They are violent. They stimulate the acquisitive instinct without giving actual content as a reward. But they do not have to be. This is proven by the rare exceptions. Ultimately, I see vid games as the next incarnation of storytelling in the continuum: Play, film, TV, video games. And it is not coincidence that actors in plays were once looked down on society, whereupon they gradually became famed and respected, whereupon film was looked down upon, etc.

 +
In 624 AD (one of the earliest known appearances of this term), during a military campaign of extermination and looting taking place within the [[Battle of Badr]], a commander's orders informed ''jash'' units that taking cattle, sheep, goats, money, weapons and even Kurdish women was legal.<ref name="knowledge">Jonathan C. Randal, ''After Such Knowledge, What Forgiveness?: My Encounters with Kurdistan'', 356 pp., Westview Press, 1998, ISBN 0813335809, p.231</ref>
  
 +
In the latter half of the 20th century, Kurds who became collaborators with the [[Iraq|Iraqi]] government have been referred to as ''jash''.<ref name="Mackey2003"/> The number of jash increased to "as many as 150,000 by 1986" as a method of avoiding military participation in the [[Iran–Iraq War]]. These jash then realigned with the rest of the Kurdish people during the 1991 Kurdish uprising. It has been stated by a number of Kurds that "the jash had been completely forgiven".<ref>{{cite book |title=A thousand sighs, a thousand revolts: journeys in Kurdistan |last=Bird |first=Christiane |authorlink= |coauthors= |year=2004 |publisher=Random House, Inc |location= |isbn= |page=81 |pages= |url=http://books.google.com/books?id=DYwFG3e9KIcC&pg=PA81&dq=%22Jash%22&hl=en&ei=_xpHTfjoIoOClAeH38lI&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=4&ved=0CDUQ6AEwAzgK#v=onepage&q=%22Jash%22&f=false |accessdate=January 31, 2011}}</ref>

'''Hunt-the-pixel''' (also '''pixel hunt''') is a term used to describe some [[computer game]] interfaces involving [[point and click]] with a [[computer mouse|mouse]]. The term is usually applied to [[adventure game]]s in which the primary difficulty with some portion of the game lies in finding an object on the screen. In some cases, the required object is quite small, and may be only a few [[pixel]]s in size. The player may not have any idea what to look for, but often the game cannot progress without finding it. Players often apply the term to any game in which the gameplay is hindered by the frustrating task of determining precisely where on the screen to click. It can be an example of using the deficiencies in the game interface as a challenge, in the same way as treacherous allies and [[Artificial Stupidity]].

An example of pixel hunting appears from ''[[The X-Files: The Game]]'', where a vital clue is a bullet exactly 2x2 pixels in size. Other examples can be found in ''[[Dark Seed (video game)|Dark Seed]]'', where the player must locate a small bobby pin lying on the floor of a library, or in ''[[Beneath a Steel Sky]]'', where the player must identify and use (without prompting) such tiny items as a 2x2 pixel lump of putty, a thumb-sized metal plate in a poorly lit club, and a barely distinguishable light socket in an abandoned [[rapid transit|metro]] tunnel. Pixel hunting is also crucial in ''[[Future Wars]]'', where items are not only hard to find and required relatively late in respect to their original location but also, to successfully find an item, the player character has to stand close to its location on the screen. [[Dreamweb]] actually incorporates a "magnifying glass" effect with a sighting reticle into its interface to assist the player in locating the many infinitesimal hotspots scattered thickly through its rooms. The problem was endemic in the controversial adventure ''[[Limbo of the Lost]]'', which featured minuscule, crucial objects in deep shadow, sometimes off the edge of the screen or obscured by the game's status bar.

Missed objects will not always lead to an [[unwinnable]] situation, but sometimes will offer just better alternative approaches to future puzzles, being thus something like [[Easter egg (virtual)|Easter eggs]].

Some games made by [[Sierra Entertainment|Sierra On-Line]], including [[Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers]] and portions of the ''[[Space Quest]]'' and ''[[King's Quest]]'' series, featured interfaces that at times required a hunt-the-pixel approach. One situation in [[LucasArts]]'s ''[[Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade: The Graphic Adventure]]'', which required the player to locate a particular book among several screens full of book stacks. However, LucasArts games have the advantage of a status line indicating the object the cursor is currently over. Another remedy was to make essential objects flash, or some other method to make the element more visible against the benign background, as is done for example at the beginning of ''[[King's Quest VI]]'' with Alexander's twinkling insignia ring on the beach. In LucasArt's ''[[Sam and Max Hit the Road]]'' the cursor will have a red border when above a clickable location. The ''[[Simon the Sorcerer]]'' series avoided pixel hunting all together, by allowing the player to press F10 at any time to highlight all the hotspots on the current screen.
 
  
Pixel-hunting is extremely common in games of the [[escape the room]] genre. Players must not only find and click on very small items, but sometimes must also find very small arbitrary, and invisible [[Screen hotspot|hotspots]] in order to trigger a change in point of view. Many authors of on-line Flash [[point-and-click adventure game]]s have disabled the [[tab key]] to prevent players from easily cycling through all the hotspots.

The rendering done for objects added to the environment and the environment itself are almost always different, and this makes it easier to find such objects. In particular, panning the player view camera makes such objects pixilate rapidly. This is an effect noticable in MMORPGs and FPS games also.

'''[[Water]]''' is an important part of the '''[[environment (biophysical)|environment]]''' since it supports virtiually all forms of life. As well as being an essential part of diet humans have made use of it for recreation and for economic activity. In recent years various [[environmental issue]]s have arisen due to this usage.

== Relisted AfDs ==
 
A good percentage of the AfDs today are relisted ones. I can read two things into this: one, it would seem to be a good thing. Fewer AfDs, perhaps, are being nominated, so there are fewer vultures to hover over things. Or maybe no one is left who bothers with topics they don't have an agenda for. Either way, should end up with fewer deletions. Two, maybe they wacked all the good articles already, and I missed it.
 
  
I used to be able to see some kind of thread of a rationale in deletor's arguments. Is it that I am so good at ignoring BS now that it does not affect me any more, or are they just getting stupider? It's not me getting stupider, that's for sure, I can see their motivation, in this case anti-science, specifically anti-psychology and anti-philosophy. I think they are actually stupider, as SYNTH used to be given some reason, or at least it was applied to sources or a specific argument. Now they are just saying synth without any target at all. Even one of the Keep arguments is bogus, as it recommends merging an article about death -anxiety- to one about death -fear-. A list of expert theories in the field is ripped for being "an editor's selection and summary of various theories with no RS to tell us why these are "worth mentioning" or how they relate to one another (or to anything else, for that matter" The title itself says how they related to each other, for god's sake. I just don't see how these people can write in English, if they cannot read it.

'''Theories of death anxiety''' have mainly evolved around the issues of death anxiety and its adjustment. <ref>Mohammad Samir Hossain and Peter Gilbert. 2010.Concepts of Death: A key to our adjustment. Illness, Crisis and Loss, Vol 18. No 1</ref> Along with Sigmund Freud’s and Ernest Becker’s works, the following works on death anxiety are worth mentioning:
+
'''Grand External Propaganda Strategy''', (Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局), short for (大外宣), is a Chinese government propaganda project with a budget worth RMB 45 billion Yuan(450亿元人民币), initiated in early 2009 by [[Hu Jintao]]. The aim of the project is  "To take the first initiative, to have the first say, to be on the active side, to direct and lead public opinion, to improve the ability to propagate message internationally. (Chinese:“抢占先机,赢得话语权,掌握主动权,抓住提高舆论引导能力和国际传播能力”)
  
==Sigmund Freud’s work==

Both [[Li Changchun]] and [[Liu Yunshan]] have stressed in different occasions that the Chinese propaganda should be equally spread both domestically and internationally, and[[Li Changchun]] stated that:"Confucius Institute is...an important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up"(Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局)<ref>http://www.stnn.cc/china/200904/t20090427_1018499.html 新华社央视正招兵买马 中国大外宣提升软实力|星岛环球网 www.stnn.cc2009-04-27</ref><ref>http://www.chinainperspective.org/ArtShow.aspx?AID=3822

[[Sigmund Freud]] (1856–1939) postulated that people express a fear of death, which he called ‘thanatophobia’. However, this was merely a disguise for a deeper source of concern. It was not actually death that people feared, because nobody believes in his or her own death. The unconscious does not deal with the passage of time or with negations. That one's life could and would end simply “does not compute”. Furthermore, that which one does fear cannot be death itself, because one has never died. People who express death-related fears, then, are actually trying to deal with unresolved childhood conflicts that they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge and discuss openly <ref> Freud, S. (1953). "Thoughts for the time of war and death," In: Standard Edition of The Complete Psychological Works of Sigmund Freud, Vol 4. Translated and Edited by Strachey J. London, Hogarth </ref>.

==1000 Confucius Institutes to be set up by 2020==
  
==Ernest Becker’s work==
+
On 24/4/2009, [[Li Changchun]] made announcement that the setting up of [[Confucius Institute]] around the world is an important and integral part of the ''Grand External Propaganda Strategy''. According the [[Confucius Institute]]'s constitutions, the initial cost of setting up would be 100% paid by the Chinese government, and the subsequent 50% of the running cost would be paid by the Chinese government.<ref>http://www.epochtimes.com/b5/9/1/28/n2411240.htm 陶達知: 孔子學院——中共大外宣格局的重要組成部份</ref><ref>http://www.kanzhongguo.com/node/377159 何清涟:中国“大外宣”的“本土化”战略: 2010-11-12 1</ref>
  
[[Ernest Becker]]'s existential view turned death anxiety theory towards a new dimension. It stated that death anxiety is not only real, but also that it is people's most profound source of concern. He described this anxiety as so intense that it can generate fears and phobias in everyday life. Fears of being alone or in a confined space are some examples of its impact. According to this theory, much of people's daily behavior consists of attempts to deny death and thereby keep their basic anxiety under control <ref>Becker, E. (1973) The Denial of Death. New York: Free Press </ref>.

[[Martin Heidegger]], the German philosopher, on the one hand showed death as something conclusively determined, in the sense that it is inevitable for every human being, while on the other hand, it unmasks its indeterminate nature via the truth that one never knows when or how death is going to come. Heidegger does not engage in speculation about whether being after death is possible. He argues that all human existence is embedded in time: past, present, future, and when considering the future, we encounter the notion of death. This then creates Angst. Angst can create a clear understanding in one that death is a possible mode of existence, which Heidegger described as “clearing”. Thus, Angst can lead to a freedom about existence, but only if we can stop denying our mortality (as expressed in Heidegger’s terminology as “stop denying being-for-death”). This, in turn creates space for authenticity, where death becomes an enriching, liberating, rather than frightening, aspect of human experience. Unfortunately, Heidegger, as a philosopher, did not make any suggestions as to how to arrive at this state of awareness <ref> Heidegger, M., (1962) Being and Time, trans.

Through the works of '''Meaning Management Theory''' <ref>, Wong, P. T. P. (2000) Meaning in life and meaning in death in successful aging. In A. Tomer (Ed.), Death attitudes and the older adults: Theories, concepts and applications (pp. 23-35). Philadelphia, PA: Bruner-Routledge</ref> [[Paul T. P. Wong]] showed human reactions to death as complex, multifaceted and dynamic. His “Death Attitude Profile” identifies three types of death acceptances as Neutral, Approach and Escape acceptances. Apart from acceptances, his work also represents different aspects of the meaning of Death Fear that are rooted in the bases of death anxiety. The ten meanings he propose are finality, uncertainty, annihilation, ultimate loss, life flow disruption, leaving the loved ones, pain and loneliness, prematurity and violence of death, failure of life work completion, and judgment and retribution centered. Most importantly, his Meaning Management Theory itself proposes that 1) Humans are bio-psychosocial-spiritual beings, 2) Human beings are meaning-seeking and meaning making creatures, 3) Two primary motivations for human beings are to survive and to find meaning and reason for survival, 4) Meaning can be found in all situations, and 5) The motivational tendencies of avoidance and approach may complement each other. This theory has a good potential to be utilized in working with people struggling with end-of-life issues.

[[Mohammad Samir Hossain]], a researcher of death attitude <ref>http://www.informaworld.com/smpp/content~content=a923472682~db=all~jumptype=rss</ref>, postulated '''Death and Adjustment Hypotheses''' <ref>Mohammad Samir Hossain, MBBS, Ph.D.Introducing Death and Adjustment Hypotheses.''

In 2007, Mohammad Samir Hossain’s book Quest for a New Death: Death and Adjustment Hypotheses, postulated, in two parts, that adjustment to death is hampered by our preconceived misconceptions about the phenomenon of death. The prevailing perception, in fact our predominant one, is that our entire existence absolutely ends with death. According to Hossain’s theory of adjustment, it should be converted to something like ‘death does not cause an absolute end to existence’. If our conceptualization is changed in this way, it might enhance our adjustment to death. But, as per the second part of this theory, this can only be established when our morality attains a certain level, because decay or deterioration in relation to the concept of death, is very much connected to our code of ethics and beliefs <ref>http://highered.mcgraw-hill.com/sites/dl/free/0078883601/680442/Additional_Lifespan_Development_Topics.pdf</ref><ref>Mohammad Samir Hossain and Peter Gilbert. 2010.Concepts of Death: A key to our adjustment.

Other approaches to death anxiety were introduced in the late twentieth century. [[Terror management theory]] is based on a study finding that people who felt better about themselves also reported having less death-related anxiety <ref> Solomon, S., Greenberg, J. and Pyszczynski, T. (1991). In M.P. Zanna (Ed.). ed.. Advances in experimental social psychology. 24. Academic Press. pp. 93–159. </ref>. Another approach named “regret theory” was proposed in 1996 by Adrian Tomer and Grafton Eliason. It approaches the way in which people evaluate the quality or worth of their lives. The prospect of death is likely to make people more anxious if they feel that they have not accomplished, and cannot accomplish, something good in life.

The '''Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section''' (CEP) is a section of the [[British Psychological Society]] (BPS) for those interested in the [[psychology of consciousness]] and experience. Initiated in 1994 by [[Jane Henry]], [[Max Velmans]], [[John Pickering]], [[Elizabeth Valentine]] and [[Richard Stevens]], the Section promoted and supported the reincorporation of [[consciousness studies]] into mainstream [[psychology]].<ref>www.issuu.com/thepsychologist/docs/bpsannualreview2009</ref> Official approval for CEP was announced in 1997 during the [[BPS Annual Conference]]. The Section’s mission is ‘to advance our understanding of [[consciousness]],<ref>Velmans, M. (2009) Understanding Consciousness (2nd Ed). London: Routledge/Psychology Press</ref>  to bring [[scientific research]] on consciousness closer to other traditions of inquiry into the nature of mind, and to explore how this research can be used to improve the [[quality of life]]’.<ref>.www.bps.org.uk/cep</ref>  As of 2010 [[Susan Stuart]] is the Section Chair. Every year in September the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section holds its annual conference,<ref>www.imprint.co.uk/pdf/17_11-12Conference%20Report_FINAL.pdf</ref><ref>www.psylin.plymouth.ac.uk/psypag/wp.../2010/.../PsyPag-75-June-2010.pdf</ref>  usually in Oxford.

DEL#Reason does not limit itself to its own provisions because policy does not automatically inform editors, should an exception come up. Essays such as Fancruft are not an exception, or they would have been listed; they are based on subjective assessments. Objective reasoning, not interpretations, is the way to make arguments in AfD. That is the reasoning behind IDONTLIKE (a discussion conduct rule); editor's subjective impressions of things are not good policy. Everything outside of DEL, that does not obviously present itself as being a problem necessitating additions to DEL, is Policycruft. Fancruft is particularly insidious because it allows what would be a strength in other articles, depth of information, to be used against articles on games, films, TV series and music. It is just systemic bias turned into an essay. Political articles are deleted without as much regard to rules, based solely on the political biases of the closer and 'voters'.

Military service is compulsory in Israel; however, some of the 'students' were still on active duty and "many of the students, the DEA report noted, had backgrounds in Israeli military intelligence and/or electronics surveillance; one was the son of a two-star Israeli general, and another had served as a bodyguard to the head of the Israeli army."<ref name="Ketcham2002"/>

'''Trevor Clark''' began his career in [[London]] as a fashion and advertising photographer in the early 1960s.  From his studio in Soho, he photographed top models of the day.    Several up and coming pop groups of the [[Swinging Sixties]] who were on the edge of worldwide fame - the [[Beatles]], [[Rolling Stones]], and [[Moody Blues]] were photographed at Trevor's studio.
 +
 
 +
Years later, Trevor moved to the sunny Mediterranean, to shoot permanently in exotic locations, and finally settled in [[Mallorca]], where he still lives.
 +

He has recently unearthed photographs of the Beatles and Rolling Stones from 1963 from his archive.  These photos had never been seen, and Trevor is making them available as limited editions.

Jash[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jash Jash (Kurdish: CaÅŸ or CahÅŸ, literally meaning "donkey's foal"), or fursan[1] is a type of collaborator[1], usually a military unit composed of people of Kurdish descent that cooperates with enemy combatants against the Kurdish army, Kurdish rebels, or the Kurdish civilian population.[1][2][3] The term is considered derogatory[1] in a cultural sense in much the same way as quisling is.

History[edit]

In 624 AD (one of the earliest known appearances of this term), during a military campaign of extermination and looting taking place within the Battle of Badr, a commander's orders informed jash units that taking cattle, sheep, goats, money, weapons and even Kurdish women was legal.[4]

In the latter half of the 20th century, Kurds who became collaborators with the Iraqi government have been referred to as jash.[3] The number of jash increased to "as many as 150,000 by 1986" as a method of avoiding military participation in the Iran–Iraq War. These jash then realigned with the rest of the Kurdish people during the 1991 Kurdish uprising. It has been stated by a number of Kurds that "the jash had been completely forgiven".[5]

Friends of Five Creeks[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Friends_of_the_Five_Creeks


Template:Infobox organization Friends of Five Creeks is a regional community volunteer organization founded in 1996 by Sonja Wadman originally dedicated to the stewardship of creeks in northern Alameda County and western Contra Costa, California, United States.[1][2][3] Education about wildlife and restoration is also a major facet of the FCC's mission.[4][5]

History[edit]

The organization is dedicated to improving creek habitats for environmental, flood control, pollution filtration, and beautification reasons. The original five creeks were Cerrito Creek-Middle/Blackberry, Marin Creek, Codornices Creek, Schoolhouse Creek and Marin/Village Creek, however the organization's involvement has expanded to all the creeks in the area including the communities of Berkeley, Albany, El Cerrito, Kensington, Richmond, and the surrounding unincorporated areas.[3][2] Susan Schwartz the organizations leader states that the organization like other "friends of" groups would not have gotten off the ground without help from the Urban Creeks Council.[6] The group holds up to 40 events a year where the volunteers work on refuse collection, graffiti removal, removing culverts in addition to plating native vegetation and removing invasive species.[7][2] There is a monthly work party to pick weeds and showcase the area's natural habitats with a new site each month.[4] The organization is registered with the California Coastal Commission.[1]

Creek work[edit]

Village Creek is maintained by FFC.

The organization organizes more than 40 work parties each year, providing direction and tools for groups of volunteers who work to restore a section of one of the creeks.[8]

Cerrito Creek runs from the El Cerrito hills to the San Francisco Bay. The organization has daylighted and restored a portion of the creek along the parking lot of El Cerrito Plaza Shopping Center.[4] Further down stream part of the creek runs through Pacific East Mall's parking lot, where it forms the border between Richmond and Albany.[9][10] This portion of the creek was daylighted and restored by the organization in 2003.[11][10] FFC president, Ron Sullivan, alleges that Pacific East Mall landscapers in Richmond have used herbicides and that this could explain his observations of dead grasses, plants and trees along the creek path near the mall's property line. Furthermore, Sullivan alleges that small native shrubs were mowed and that the mall has not agreed to a written maintenance plan as required by their use permit.[10]

In 2001 the organization received two separate grants totaling $400,000 to work on the restoration of Codornices Creek.[12] In the 1990s the Friends of Five Creeks discovered the reappearance of steelhead and rainbow trout at Codornices Creek while performing restoration work.[13] The "Friends" are also lobbying for the creation of public space adjacent to the creek for a new Whole Foods supermarket and parking structure along the stream's banks in U.C. Village.[14]

The organization also helps to restore and work on some non-creek areas such as the Berkeley Meadow and Eastshore State Park in addition to blight abatement, and trash collection activities at local parks.[15][16][17] Working with Citizens for Eastshore Parks FCC is studying the possibility of daylighting a portion of Schoolhouse Creek.[18]

Education work[edit]

Friends of Five Creeks works with school groups to educate them about the creek and bay environments.[19]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Grand_External_Propaganda_Strategy Keep, discuss, possibly merge

Grand External Propaganda Strategy, (Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局), short for (大外宣), is a Chinese government propaganda project with a budget worth RMB 45 billion Yuan(450亿元人民币), initiated in early 2009 by Hu Jintao. The aim of the project is "To take the first initiative, to have the first say, to be on the active side, to direct and lead public opinion, to improve the ability to propagate message internationally. (Chinese:“抢占先机,赢得话语权,掌握主动权,抓住提高舆论引导能力和国际传播能力”)

Both Li Changchun and Liu Yunshan have stressed in different occasions that the Chinese propaganda should be equally spread both domestically and internationally, andLi Changchun stated that:"Confucius Institute is...an important part of China’s overseas propaganda set-up"(Chinese:宏大的對外宣傳格局)[1][2][3]

Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section[edit]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Consciousness_and_Experiential_Psychology

The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section (CEP) is a section of the British Psychological Society (BPS) for those interested in the psychology of consciousness and experience. Initiated in 1994 by Jane Henry, Max Velmans, John Pickering, Elizabeth Valentine and Richard Stevens, the Section promoted and supported the reincorporation of consciousness studies into mainstream psychology.[1] Official approval for CEP was announced in 1997 during the BPS Annual Conference. The Section’s mission is ‘to advance our understanding of consciousness,[2] to bring scientific research on consciousness closer to other traditions of inquiry into the nature of mind, and to explore how this research can be used to improve the quality of life’.[3] As of 2010 Susan Stuart is the Section Chair. Every year in September the Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section holds its annual conference,[4][5] usually in Oxford.

Professional association[edit]

The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section is one of thirteen sections of the British Psychological Society.[6] This section is for anyone interested in broad-based, rigorous academic exploration of consciousness and experience. The Section is an interest group comprising members of the British Psychological Society and also unaffiliated members. The Consciousness and Experiential Psychology Section was the first, and remains the only, section of a nationally representative body of professional psychologists devoted to the study of consciousness.Template:citation needed

dead map[edit]

A dead map is a term often applied to sensitive government maps that show the location of top secret facilities and other highly sensitive installations within a country. Russia the United States and Great Britain all have such maps. Many activists, conspiracy theorists etc compile their own unofficial maps, though these can often be more flights of fancy than actually related to any real locations

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Owen_Honors No Consensus defaults to Keep Could be called the cheater's way to Keep. I never feel entirely happy about a No Consensus close, even if I wanted the article. It usually turns into the cheater's way to delete, tho, by way of redirect or merge or deletion of undesirable info.


Wikipedia:DEL and Policy content such as WP:IDL that directly address the conduct of discussion should be the only standard. DEL#Reason does not limit itself to its own provisions because policy does not automatically inform editors, should an exception come up. Essays such as Fancruft are not an exception, or they would have been listed; they are based on subjective assessments. Objective reasoning, not interpretations, is the way to make arguments in AfD. That is the reasoning behind IDONTLIKE (a discussion conduct rule); editor's subjective impressions of things are not good policy. Everything outside of DEL, that does not obviously present itself as being a problem necessitating additions to DEL, is Policycruft. Fancruft is particularly insidious because it allows what would be a strength in other articles, depth of information, to be used against articles on games, films, TV series and music. It is just systemic bias turned into an essay. Political articles are deleted without as much regard to rules, based solely on the political biases of the closer and 'voters'.

Trevor Clark[edit]

Site link shows very badly retouched/Photoshopped photos of the Beatles http://www.trevorclark.co.uk/image_1.html Trevor's page was listed in people- fashion- and photo-related discussions, but not music-related. Nominator: "One possibly notable achivement seems to be having taken some early photographs of the Beatles and the Rolling Stones". Hmm. Maaaybe... Following Trevor in the AfD listing was Wikipedia:Tiddlywiki, which received a close to Keep.

Template:Article for deletion/dated Template:BLP unsourced Trevor Clark began his career in London as a fashion and advertising photographer in the early 1960s. From his studio in Soho, he photographed top models of the day. Several up and coming pop groups of the Swinging Sixties who were on the edge of worldwide fame - the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Moody Blues were photographed at Trevor's studio.

Years later, Trevor moved to the sunny Mediterranean, to shoot permanently in exotic locations, and finally settled in Mallorca, where he still lives.

He has recently unearthed photographs of the Beatles and Rolling Stones from 1963 from his archive. These photos had never been seen, and Trevor is making them available as limited editions.
