Psychological manipulation

[edit]

None of the quotes included specifically mention the term and require too much additional context to comprehend the suggested association; the Huxley quote is a non-sequitur that doesn't even specify who is being talked about, and the ones from Bernays quotes are more about propaganda and sociology, and the one from Marcuse is about manipulation in general. Should it be inductively reasoned there would be no objection to pages for religious manipulation, economic manipulation, or sexual manipulation containing a series of quotes that don't even use the term, based on this overly specialized page? This page is effectively just an "anti-X", page, which is not how Wikiquote is organized; nor do we have "psychology of X" pages. โ€” CensoredScribe (talk) 16:12, 15 May 2019 (UTC)reply

I don't understand the logic of the argument. There is a wikipedia page w:Psychological manipulation and the quotations in the Wikiquote article are related to the topic as it is described on the wikipedia page. The VfD should take place on Wikipedia. ~ Peter1c (talk) 19:17, 15 May 2019 (UTC)reply

Biographies of Karl Marx is not a page we need even though it is a fine Wikipedia page consisting of a list of page links, similarly we don't need filmography of director or actor pages, I'm sure you would agree as much. It's not just lists that make for bad Wikipedia pages to transfer onto Wikiquote though: do we both not agree that Race of Jesus is a bad idea for a Wikiquote page even though there's plenty of quotes on that Wikipedia page? There's a Wikipedia page for Jesus in Islam as well, yet I expect X religious figure in Y religion pages are not very welcome here, I've not checked the deletion logs but I believe others will concur with me on that. I don't particularly like the fact that we have pages for inane details about individuals like Religious views of Adolf Hitler and Depictions of Muhammad either, regardless of the number of quotes on the Wikipedia pages for them, but I'd prefer not to have multiple VFD discussions going at the same time given how long it often takes for even one of them to close. I won't contest having a page for the Holy Grail or any other religious relics but this starts to get a bit problematic in terms of ease of access if everyone has to know the exact phraseology and page titles begin to approach the length of whole sentences. CensoredScribe (talk) 22:36, 15 May 2019 (UTC)reply

CensoredScribe, each Wikipedia page has a notable topic. If not, the VfD should be pursued on Wikipedia. If the topic is notable and the quotes are relevant to the topic, then what is the issue? ~ Peter1c (talk) 13:56, 16 May 2019 (UTC)reply

I was specifically told by UDScott not to make a page for Male pregnancy, despite that being a Wikipedia page. Were I to do so, I doubt using your argument here would be effective in forcing the vote off site onto Wikipedia, which, by the way, isn't where we hold votes for Wikiquote, FYI.

Violence in media

[edit]

Like Male pregnancy, there is a Wikipedia page for this topic, and like male pregnancy, we really don't need a page for this here. Creating X in media pages is a bad idea, considering how difficult it is to define media or violence outside of the direct usage of those words. Do textbooks about wars or surgery count at violence in media, blood is certainly shed in them; should we transfer the many quotes that criticize religious texts for violence to this page? This is a fairly recent term, and I was told by the page's creator we should be focusing on quotes that have "withstood the test of time" and proved their "endurance factor", which combined with how little effort the page's creator put into creating this, suggests they really don't particularly care and created this page impulsively one day using my contributions, without even bothering to look for all the relevant ones, despite being a frequent page watcher of mine. I would never have made this, just to self nom and prove a point about not needing this page, but because I didn't actually make this page that is what I am doing. โ€” CensoredScribe (talk) 16:24, 12 July 2019 (UTC)reply

  • Keep. CensoredScribe has collected excellent quotations in this article and now nominated it for deletion. For specialized topics, standard of quotability is usefulness to researchers on the topic, the intended audience. Users reading the corresponding wikipedia article will be glad to have these references. This article is linked and gets ~ 80 views per day. Topic is notable. Quotes on specialized topics are valuable to researchers on the topic and to visitors of the corresponding Wikipedia page. It is a good page. I hope we can keep it. ~ Peter1c (talk) 00:28, 14 July 2019 (UTC)reply

Medicine in Star Trek

[edit]

Well normally a page for a specific fictional character, much less profession, would be taken to qvfd, unless that character appears on at least two other shows/comics. I'm guessing no further explanation is needed? โ€” CensoredScribe (talk) 20:00, 19 July 2019 (UTC)reply

Keep: Notability of topic is established by existence of corresponding Wikipedia article. ~ Peter1c (talk) 00:40, 20 July 2019 (UTC)reply

This will probably be the last time I nominate anything for Vfd given the geological time scales involved here, however "Wikipedia did it" is a terrible reasoning and every single administrator here knows it. I really shouldn't have to explain to you of all people why having a page for Lightsabers or The One Ring opens up the flood gates to a sewer of pop culture pages we don't need, regardless of how many media studies journals have articles about a particular element of a fictional work. The page you created for LGBT in science fiction television lets me know this is a knee jerk reaction to not getting your way on something. More importantly Peter1c, I'm concerned about how your one-liner canned response of a reason is going to apply to actually important pages we don't need, like mulatto, and the rest of the rainbow of racist terminology for combinations of incalculable Blood quanta and stations of the colonial casta system, which I'm assuming you'd now claim you have no problem with, "Cause Wikipedia". If you really and truly would prefer I ramble with you here about the importance or lack there of of the minutia of X pop culture franchises more obscure features that we both know you hate for diverting attention from religion/literature, I will gladly join you in polluting this wiki with thousands of nerd articles from the depths of Wikipedia, than debate them with you on this off topic soapbox with an extremely limited audience of people willing to waste their time listening to you playing opposites day and me be a snide critic, that's what I do for Uncyclopedia, amongst other things like nominate terrible ideas for pages for vfd. At least on Uncyclopedia, unlike here, 5 people will actually bother to vote in a week, even if it's for a page about poop jokes. I have the feeling after about 10 of these types of articles turn vfd into an unreadable series of rants, one if not both of us will be up for a ban, you are acting in a way that is highly disruptive and others can quote your sources, we are both replaceable as editors. Playing bizarre and impulsive head games with you is not what I came here to do, and I doubt it's what you came here to do either. I bid you good day sir.

Harold Wallace Rosenthal

[edit]

The only content here is an antisemitic fabrication which cannot be plausibly attributed to Rosenthal. Wikiquote should not be a vehicle for antisemitic theories. Since there is no famous actual quote by rosenthal, I request the deletion.
As I am not a Wikiquote regular, please be kind if I proceeded incorrectly. For the record, I was the one who changed the section label from "disputed" to "fabricated", based on info from wikipedia and other sources. โ€” GrandEscogriffe (talk) 17:55, 14 February 2020 (UTC)reply

    • Keep: you don't need actual verified quotes from a person, notes on disputed/misattributed/fabricated ones would be enough. I haven't seen 'fabricated' before, would you object to changing that to 'misattibuted'? That's what I usually see. this April 2019 article refers to the documen. It IS a famous fabrication, and a quote from SOMEONE. Probably not Rosenthal, but without knowing who actually wrote it, putting it under the person it's attributed to is the only logical place for it.

Donald Trump on social media

[edit]

This is quite a step beyond using low quality sources on a biography of a living person. It is an entire article dedicated to reprinting someone's Facebook and Twitter feed. It is not "Donald Trump on social media", as in "Donald Trump opines on the market capitalization of Facebook, the prospects of an IPO for Twitter, and the effect that Whatsapp has on telecommunications access in the developing world," as one might expect from William Shakespeare quotes about death. It is literally just "random crap Donald Trump posted online."

Wikiquote is not a venue for reprinting social media, and WQ:BLP doesn't mean we create separate articles for Ellen DeGeneres' Twitter feed and Katy Perry's Instagram. GMGtalk 12:34, 13 March 2020 (UTC)reply

  • Vote closes: 13:00, 20 March 2020 (UTC)
  • Keep. Trump conducts state business on Twitter. For instance, quotes like
    • "To Iranian President Rouhani: NEVER, EVER THREATEN THE UNITED STATES AGAIN OR YOU WILL SUFFER CONSEQUENCES THE LIKES OF WHICH FEW THROUGHOUT HISTORY HAVE EVER SUFFERED BEFORE."
    • "I must, in the strongest of terms, ask Mexico to stop this onslaught - and if unable to do so I will call up the U.S. Military and CLOSE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER!"
    • "please be advised that the United States Government will not accept or allow...... ....Transgender individuals to serve in any capacity in the U.S. Military."
    • "if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have..... ....targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD."
  • should not be removed merely because they were posted to social media. If there's really a policy against quoting a world leader's social media, that policy needs to change. ~ Robin Lionheart (talk) 12:44, 13 March 2020 (UTC)reply
  • Keep. I understand the point GreenMeansGo is making - and I would not like to see a similar page created for most other people. But I agree with Robin Lionheart that Donald Trump seems to be an exception to this, as he uses Twitter on a daily basis to conduct business and communicate with the world. ~ UDScott (talk) 14:07, 13 March 2020 (UTC)reply
  • Keep. Since his posts in social media are "official statements by the president of the United States." Ellen DeGeneres and Katy Perry don't hold that position, atleast not yet. If someday in the future they become POTUS and their social media posts are also considered official statements then that could merit the creation of those articles. On the "random crap", this was also common in US politics before social media. Rupert Loup 02:16, 14 March 2020 (UTC)

Mark of shame

[edit]

There seems to be no reason for this redirect pointing to Mohammad Reza Pahlavi. The only links to the redirect were (until I edited them out just now) a random quote from the Baldur's Gate series that used the phrase "mark of shame", and the one quote that uses the phrase in the Pahlavi article itself. I have no idea why this redirect was even made, or wikilinks to it added to an unrelated article and to the article the redirect points to - but the redirect clearly serves no purpose, and even besides that, the Pahlavi article is not a logical or predictable destination for such a redirect. โ€” V2Blast (talk) 04:02, 5 April 2020 (UTC)reply

    • Comment


The user Kabirkhan22, who flagged the page as Spam and self advertise is a sock puppet account personally targeting the page. I've got a list of proof to prove his vandalism.

1. The vandal is trying to delete all the records present on wiki including wiki data. Check the revision history of the page - Q91833255, The Vandal has used his sock puppet accounts to defame and tried to delete the page by more than SIX times.

2. Here is the list of sock puppet accounts he used, just to delete the page. You won't find a single contribution from these accounts apart removing the content.

3. Apart from this, I tried to find the location of those accounts, and here is the report that clearly reveals the intention of the reporter. (Click on IP to know to find detailed information.)

 4. The above reasons clearly indicate that it was an attempt to delete the page and he succeeds in taking the page down, misguiding the admins, and wasting the time.  5. Surprisingly, at the time of writing this message, again, he tried to delete the content of page Q91833255 after admin blocked me, so I can't restore the page. Furthermore, he is trying to reach out to other administrators and asking to delete the page. It clearly indicates how desperate he is.  It is my humble request to restore the page and lock it so he can't edit the same from another IP. Thank you again.  

UPDATE (April 27)- Despite the warning by @Nikki: on the Q91833255, The spammer has again started his vandalism on the page. with the (2405:205:140a:a22a:c09a:c15f:44bb:314) same GEO Location he deleted the site links and Reporting to Admin like a kid.  Could you please help me to get rid of this Vandal.   UPDATE - The IP added the advertising spam template is a part of this sockpuppet accounts. Please check the Geolocation and ISP of the reporter IP - โ€Ž (2405:205:140a:a22a:c09a:c15f:44bb:314) - It is the same as all previous IPs.   All the IPs mentioned above are used to report my account nothing else.

Not to barge in, but reference dates shouldn't be (and I've never seen it be) a factor of whether or not the subject is notable. Reliable, secondary, non-trivial mentions of the subject in sources should be what I'd consider notable, and from the ones listed above, it checks out. dibbydibโŒโ– _โ–  (barate me) 04:50, 28 May 2020 (UTC)reply

Dibbydib: Wikipedia is not an authority in discern notability, it has a serious problem of systemic bias in coverage. What determine the notability is the she has been reported in several reliable secondary sources, as I demostrate above. Also Neethi not only write about the pandemic and she didn't gain notability because of that. Two Three of the sources that I presented are academic peer reviews of her book Globalization Lived Locally. Also she has been awarded with the Fulbright-Nehru Doctoral and Professional Research Fellowships 2011-12 by the Fulbright Program. (p. 4) Rupert Loup 07:58, 25 May 2020 (UTC)

Rupert, can you read? I never said it was spam, these were Pratap's words.

This is what I said: There are many wikiquote articles that don't have wikipedia articles , but are notable such as: [Examples of notable articles with no corresponding wikipedia articles]as examples among recently created articles that are notable.

I was only giving examples of notable articles with no corresponding wikipedia articles that I was aware of. Like you, I don't believe that a corresponding wikipedia article proves anything about notability.

Pratap was deleting articles on this basis, so I had to give counter-examples, of which I was aware of at the time. --แƒ“แƒแƒ›แƒแƒ™แƒ˜แƒ“แƒ”แƒ‘แƒฃแƒšแƒ”แƒ‘แƒ (talk) 19:18, 29 May 2020 (UTC)reply

    Hi Polymath236, and welcome. Unfortunately, those sources only seem to be websites with user-generated content.

    Hi Aranya. The sources I have provided which is peoplepill and Twoset's fandom are published and verifiable sources. Peoplepill's articles get checked and verified before they are published. Two Set's fandom is somebody else's fandom. There are strong referrences there also because the article has survived there for eight months without questioning. If you go online, Google does check each of the sources before they are published there. So does many search engines. Otherwise, they wouldn't give featured snippets and knowledge panels to him. If you want citations like newspaper articles, I can give those sources by next week or so but right now, I am not licensed to use some of the links at work according to what I was told. If you have to delete my article and have no other choice, please go on because being new to journalism, its a learning experience to create the best I can. However, please don't judge it as spam ~ Polymath236 02:33, 19 July 2020โ€Ž (UTC)reply
    I understand that this can be frustrating, given the work that was put in to write the page. However, Wikiquote's policy on quotability talks about how we need independent and unbiased sources to reliably attribute quotes to the subject. In other words, we need to know if Pratham Hegde actually said them. Anyone can create a page on a Fandom wiki and attribute a quote to someone, so we can't necessarily use sources like that, even if they are true. Infogalactic is an altered fork of English Wikipedia. PeoplePill is a site that scrapes content from other sources, most of which are unreliable. None of these sources help us attribute these quotes to the subject or even show why the page should be included on Wikiquote. Aranya (talk) 21:28, 20 July 2020 (UTC)reply
