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'.

The '''Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky''' are descended from "half blood" or "mixed-blood" Cherokee, a group of passionate [[Cherokee]] who signed the [[Treaty of New Echota]] with the US Government in 1835, which signed away much of the sovereign Cherokee territory in the southern [[Appalachian Mountains]] in exchange for lands in northeastern [[Oklahoma]]. The primary signatories of the treaty were subsequently assassinated by Pin Cherokee also known formally as the [[Original Keetoowah Society]]. A secret organization formed by a Christian missionary, and controlled by [[John Ross]] Principle Chief of the Cherokee Nation. Confederate Brigadier General [[Albert Pike]] wrote in 1861 that the Pin organization “was established by Evan Jones, a missionary, and at the service of Mr. John Ross, for the purpose of abolitionizing the Cherokees and putting out of the way all who sympathized with the Southern States.” <ref>''THE CIVIL WAR IN THE INDIAN TERRITORY 1861'',Volume 17, No. 3, p. 325 September, 1939 Dean Trickett, Chronicals of Oklahoma, Oklahoma Historical Society</ref><ref>''The Keetoowah Society and the Avocation of Religious Nationalism in the Cherokee Nation, 1855-1867'', ''Between Two Fires'', Chapter Three, U.S. Data Repository</ref>

The Southern Cherokee of Kentucky have gone by many names: They were originally known as the [[Overhill Cherokee]], [[Chickamauga]] Cherokee, the Treaty Party, and during the [[American Civil War]] they became known as Southern Cherokee, and finally the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky. The Treaty of New Echota was rejected by most of the Cherokee Nation, but the US Government enforced the [[Indian Removal Act]] of 1830 in what came to be known as the "[[Trail of Tears]]". An estimated 4'000 of 15'000 died during this enforced removal to [[Indian Territory]]. Most of those who had accepted the Treaty fought on the side of the [[Confederate States of America]] in the American Civil War.  Ironically, at the end of the war many of the "Southern Cherokee" intermarried with "[[Freedmen]]", former Afro-American slaves that were also removed on the Trail of Tears. Subsequent warring between the Pin Cherokee and the "Southern Cherokee", and the death of Confederate Brigadier General [[Stand Watie]] in 1871, resulted in the fleeing of Southern Cherokee refugees across several States which included Kentucky.

The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky is a state recognized tribe now headquartered in [[Henderson, Kentucky]], which is situated on the high banks of the Ohio River in an area once known as Red Banks by Native Americans. The Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky was recognized by past Governor [[John Y. Brown (1835–1904)]] on "Executive Letter Head" on December 26, 1893, and then by Governor [[Ernie Fletcher]], via proclamation, on November 20, 2006. The city of Henderson, Kentucky also issued a proclamation recognizing the Southern Cherokee Nation of Kentucky on February 24, 2009. The Cherokee Nation of Kentucky is officially recognized in the [[Commonwealth of Kentucky]] by the Executive Branch of their host government. <ref name="Historical Documents">[http://www.southerncherokeenationky.com/historicaldocuments.html Photos taken of display cases located at "The Depot" in downtown Henderson,  Kentucky] southerncherokeenationky.com</ref><ref>''Indian Child Welfare Act Compliance Desk Aid For Kentucky Child Welfare Workers'', Facts: Two State Recognized Tribes, Cabinet for Health and Family Services</ref><ref>''500 Nations''[http://500nations.com/tribes/Tribes_States.asp "State Recognized tribes"]</ref><ref>USA.GOV [http://www.usa.gov/Government/Tribal_Sites/index.shtml "Tribal Governments"]</ref>

"Since 9/11 we’ve all grown accustomed to security procedures that, 11 years ago, most of us would have considered unreasonable intrusions on our liberty and privacy, all in the name of safety. That, I think, is the real measure of what terrorism does to a free society. It’s not the bombs or the airplanes that hurt us most, but the gradual intrusions into personal freedom that are implemented in response to those threats. Little by little, the freedom of movement we once knew is being chipped away and, in the event that we ever again face a mass terrorist attack with catastrophic loss, the stage will have been set for a ramp up in “security procedures” that will make America an unrecognizable shell of its former self." - [[Wikipedia:User:DamionMC72]] .

"Transportation Security Administration bag screeners from Kennedy, LaGuardia and Newark Liberty airports will be replacing most NYPD cops in the subway that screen bags for explosives."  "About 30 TSA screeners a day will be pulled from the three area airports Monday through Friday to inspect bags at various subway locations throughout the city.

==Structure==
 
−
The Lifeboat Foundation is structured with advisory boards, a [[board of director]]s, and a general staff. The board of directors includes founder Eric Klien as chairman, and four other directors; the advisory boards comprise a diversity of societal and scientific specialists; and the staff had 21 employees on November 12, 2010.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/about|accessdate=2010-11-12|title=About|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation}}</ref><ref name=staff>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/staff|accessdate=2010-11-12|title=Staff|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation}}</ref>  The foundation also has a technology research department that is charged with tracking new technological developments.  The Lifeboat Foundation intends to operate as an [[umbrella organization]]; in case of growth, it plans on funding larger research grants and prizes rather than hiring more employees.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/procedures|title=procedures|accessdate=22 November 2010|publisher=Lifeboat foundation}}</ref>
 
  
−
===Advisory Boards===
 
−
The organization has formed advisory boards consisting of over 1000 specialists in various disciplines. Board members develop [[Lifeboat Foundation#programs|programs]], or propose new areas in which the Lifeboat Foundation should be involved.<ref name=boards>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/boards|accessdate=2010-11-18|title=Advisory Boards|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation}}</ref>
 
  
−
There are also over a dozen Scientific Advisory Boards (SABs).  The SABs are specifically focused on scientific questions, such as [[cosmology]] and [[neuroscience]]. Some of the SABs are dedicated to more technical fields like [[economics]] and [[information science]]. They comprise scientists from around the world, including [[Nobel Prize]] winners [[Clive Granger]] and [[Wole Soyinka]].<ref name=boards />

===GETAS===
+
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 [[UK|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[[Category:Map types]]
−
The Global Existential Threat Advisory System (GETAS) is the mechanism the Lifeboat Foundation uses to disseminate information about current existential threats.  GETAS consists of five threat levels plus an emergency condition.  The levels are designed to be cumulative; that is, the recommended precautions of each level build on those of lower levels. The current GETAS condition is displayed on the Lifeboat Foundation's website, and visitors can subscribe to receive email notifications if the level changes.
+
  
−
The goal of the warnings is to "to create a common vocabulary, context, and structure for an ongoing international, global discussion about the nature of the threats that confront our species on planet Earth and the appropriate measures that should be taken in response."<ref name=GETAS/>  The system uses the internet to communicate rapidly to subscribers.
 
  
−
GETAS levels are set by "the Executive Director of the Lifeboat Foundation in consultation with the Scientific Advisory Boards".<ref name=GETAS>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/getas|title=Global Existential Threat Advisory System (GETAS)|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=2010-11-06}}</ref> The levels (and the explanations given by the Lifeboat foundation website) are as follows:

===Programs===

The Lifeboat Foundation's website states programs to help assess and reduce existential risks.  "Shield" programs are attempts to explicitly identify and mitigate threats posed by misuse of a particular technology. Examples include:
+
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Owen_Honors
−
*'''AsteroidShield''', aiming at detecting and altering the trajectory of [[asteroid]]s and [[comet]]s on a collision course with Earth, thus avoiding [[impact events]].<ref>{{cite web|title=Asteroid Shield|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=20 November 2010|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/asteroid.shield}}</ref>
+

*'''BioShield''', aiming at preventing and countering the effects of attacks with [[biological agent]]s.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/bio.shield|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=2010-11-16|title=BioShield}}</ref>
+
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.
−
*'''Space Habitats''', designing and encouraging the technology for [[space colonies|human colonies in space]]. The organization's website mentions design on a habitat called ''Ark 1'', a "self-sustaining space habitat being designed to ensure the survival of humanity in the event Earth becomes uninhabitable".<ref name=spacehabitats>{{cite web|title=Space habitats|publisher=Lifeboat Foundation|accessdate=20 November 2010|url=http://lifeboat.com/ex/space.habitats}}</ref>

[[Wikipedia:DEL]] and Policy content such as [[WP:IDL]] that directly address the ''conduct of discussion'' should be the only standard.
−
*[[Existential risk]]
+
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''' 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]

close paraphrase|source=http://georgewatsky.com/about/%7Cdate=January 2011 Template:Infobox Writer

George Watsky is a writer, performer, and environmental activist from San Francisco, California. Watsky performs slam poetry, and was featured on Season 6 of Russell Simmons Presents Def Poetry on HBO.[1] Watsky’s talents began to receive national and international acclaim in 2006 when he was the Youth Speaks Grand Slam Poetry Champion, and was also named Brave New Voices International Poetry Slam Champion.[2] He has been a performer in a record six consecutive Youth Speaks Grand Slam finals, his audiences being the largest for anyone in any poetry slam event.[unverified] He also was one of the three poets who performed live on Fox at the NAACP Image Awards in honor of Russell Simmons’ lifetime achievement award.[3] Watsky graduated from Emerson College earlier this year and has achieved newfound fame with his viral YouTube video "Pale kid raps fast," which as of Jan. 30 had over five million views.[4] He was recently featured on The Ellen DeGeneres Show performing a slightly modified version of that rap. This year he produced a fifteen track hip-hop album titled "Watsky."

Watsky was profiled in the Boston Globe in 2009. The Arts section reviewed his one-man show "Where the Magic Happens" favorably and called him a "poetry-slam star."[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]

Grand External Propaganda Strategy[edit]

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]

1000 Confucius Institutes to be set up by 2020[edit]

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.[4][5]

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.
