OK I'll nominate this one -- non-notable "institute", no RS, fails WP:N ukexpat (talk) 15:39, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Question. Okay, nobody likes the article, I got that by now, thanks. But then, do you guys accept that several Wiki articles were/are sourced by this website? The following Wiki articles link(ed) to the site poles.org, as of a few hours ago: Edward Henry Lewinski Corwin ([http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Edward_Henry_Lewinski_Corwin&diff=210630135&oldid=210574010 added again by Piotrus]), John M. Budarz, John Scolvus. Nobody edited them since the AFD is up. Independently from the current state of the article, is the "Institute" considered as reliable source, or do you reject that also by voting "delete"? If the article gets deleted, can further attempts to use Poles.org as source be rejected by pointing to this AfD? -- Matthead  Discuß   22:38, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

::Splash it as a source of reference - anyone can contribute to this website at His and Mr Pinkowski's will. Don't touch the articles you have listed above though - these will survive without this autobiographer's "eldorado" as long as the other sources are valid, and I checked out they are. greg park avenue (talk) 23:35, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

:::Sorry, I don't get the colloquial subtleties of the "Splash it" remark ("forget it"? "distribute it all over the place"?). As I understand, you checked the articles, and obviously accept the Pinkowski source at least as decoration, as you made no edits? -- Matthead  Discuß   00:35, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

::::Splash it means ground it as an airplane using a missile but over the water - an idiom used by US fighter pilots. In Wiki language - delete all references related to this source and parts of text based upon it. I saw something has already been done by User:Piotrus in Edward Henry Lewinski Corwin article. And yes, it's more like a decoration, worthless as a source over here. I saw also your contribution to discussion on the talk page of First Partition article - a bit overdone. These articles are very well referenced and removing this one source won't accomplish a thing, still I agree with you that some expressions as "civil war" or even the title "first partition" are not formulated precisely and misleading, and an insight of an outsider like you is very welcome. It should be named First Partition of Poland (1772) at least. But it's Piotrus' baby, he should work on it some more. Thanks! greg park avenue (talk) 01:15, 7 May 2008 (UTC)

:: Just listed there, thanks for pointing to it. -- Matthead  Discuß   19:34, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Delete - The fact that other articles may use this institute's web page as a source has nothing to do with whether the institute itself is notable enough for an article. It clearly isn't. Blueboar (talk) 20:19, 11 May 2008 (UTC)
