Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Virago 2

message: An anonymous user has made an empirical claim: that there exists an anthropological concept, "virago."  Like any empirical claim, this can be tested.
I tested an empirical claim. The empirical claim that you have made is that "virago" is an anthropological concept or object of anthropological study. So first, I used the search engine provided by the Ameican Anthropological Association, of every publication of the American Anthropological Association since its founding in the late 1800s.  I searched for the word "virago" and found two ueses, one in a book review, and one in an article on spousal abse in Brazil.  In both articles, the word was used as a colloquial word, like "broad" or "dame."  It was not presented as the name of an object of analysis, nor as an analytic concept.
Second, I went to Medline, a search engine for all major medical and health-related journals, and did a search for "virago." Not one hit, not one. 
Third, I checked Biosys, a search engine for all life-sciences journals, and discoverd a couple of hits — for species of flies or similar insects: Petalops virago and Nilobezzia virago. 
Fourth, I tried the General Science search engine, of all core journals in all sciences. I found one hit: for a book, The Virago book of women gardeners. Do you want to know why it is called "The Virago book of women gardeners?" I will tell you: because it is published by the Virago Press. 
Fifth, moving from the life-sciences, I tried the general Social Science search engine. Again, I found a few hits. Wanna know what a few of them were? Book reviews for The Virago book of women travellers and The Virago book of love poetry — yup, published by the Virago Press. There is also an article from the British Journal of Criminology: "These viragoes are no less cruel than the lads': young women, gangs and violence in late Victorian Manchester and Salford." The word "virago" is in a quote from a Victorian newspaper, the Chronicle, which used the word to describe female members of gangs. In other words, this data again  confirms my claim that scholars use the word colloquially; it is no more a "scientific concept" as any other common noun. How many more search engines do you want me to try? I have established 
*that virago is not an anthropological concept, nor a concept in any other social science. 
*that virago is not a concept in medicine or health 
*that virago is the name of two species of insects
*that virago is the name of a publishing house
Virago is an English word meaning tough woman, derived from a Latin word meaning heroine.  If Wikipedia were a dictionary, we could provide the word "virago" and its definition.  But Wikipedia is not a dictionary. And, having searched several data-bases, there are simply no verifiable sources on which one could base an aticle on "virago," without violating our NOR policy.

Talk:Al Swearengen

message: Referencing the show Deadwood in the first paragraph makes about as much sense as immediately referencing Oliver Stone's movie JFK in the John F Kennedy article.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 71.113.163.66 (talk • contribs).
*Your comparison to JFK makes no sense because nobody played JFK in the film. You'll notice that a lot of entries have sections entitled "____ in fiction" or "_____ in pop culture". Note the large "Media" section in the Bill Hickok entry. There's no reason for this entry NOT to have a section of his portrayals in media at the bottom.  74.76.142.137 (talk) 15:46, 23 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with CyberGhostface. How many people would be looking up JFK for the first time because they heard about him in an Oliver Stone film and want to know more? Now compare that to the case of Swearengen. 
Here's a very minor question, though: in the HBO show, he identifies himself as "Albert". The real guy was named Alfred. So, should the sentence about Alfred being the basis for the TV character really say (as it does currently) that the character is "of the same name"? Figureground 22:23, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Talk:WYCD

message: This article is a great example of why some consensus needs to be established on scope of articles on radio stations.   This article covers at least 6 different callsigns, 4 different owners and 7 radically different programming formats.   
What is it that ties together all these disparate incarnations in the mind of the author(s) (or reader?)  Is the "radio station" the specific frequency in the market? (Call signs and formats frequently change frequencies these days).... is it the studio location and transmitter?  (what listener really knows or cares about that?).  What is the rationale that an article about WYCD should be anything more than the current radio station?  If WABX was notable in the history of radio, that information should be in an article about WABX (History of), since a person researching WABX is not necessarily going to know the information is located in this article.StreamingRadioGuide 11:01, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If WYCD can trace it's history to WABX, then WABX should be discussed in this article. There are numerous callsigns have been used by multiple stations throughout the years.
