The following article on Aquygen or HHO Gas does not meet any of the General criteria as outlined in the Official Misplaced Pages Criteria for speedy deletion. The prior article was deleted against official Misplaced Pages policy, as the policy clearly states the following: in Articles for Deletion (AFD) "''A five-day public debate and discussion on the merits of the article and its best treatment. Applicable to all articles where deletion is unsure, seriously contested, or may need debate, and all borderline or controversial cases."'' This 5 day public debate was not conducted and the article was deleted prior to recieving a full and proper debate. The new article written on the topic of "Aquygen" does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, and I will discuss in detail the reasons why it does not meet the above said criteria.

The Article does not meet section 1, as it state that "''This does not include: poor writing, partisan screeds, obscene remarks, vandalism, fictional material, material not in English, badly translated material, implausible theories, or hoaxes."''

The Article does not meet the criteria in section 2. as it is not a test page.

The Article does not meet the criteria in section 3. As it is clearly not vandalism as defined on Misplaced Pages.

The Article does not meet the criteria as defined in section 4. As it clearly states the following:
"''Before deleting again, the admin should ensure that the material is substantially identical and not merely a new article on the same subject.''" The material presented is not substantially identical to the orignal article. It contains similar information but has been completely rewritten.

The Article does not meet the criteria in section 5. The user is not banned.

The Article does not meet the criteria in section 6. It is not housekeeping.

The Article does not meet the criteria in section 7. The Author being myself, I am not requesting the deletion of the article.

The Article does not meet the criteria in Section 8. It is not a talk page.

The Article does not and should not meet the criteria in section 9. The Wikimedia Foundation office reserves the right to speedily delete a page temporarily in cases of exceptional controversy. This is not an "exceptional controversy".


With this in mind I therefore believe that this article which has been submitted for speedy deletion has been done so with no basis, and therefore should remain as an article. The validity of the article has been addressed with opposing views presented and the information on the page was sourced from credible sources including goverment agencies (Kentucky Natural Resources and Environmental Protection Cabinet) ,(US Patent Office) and others, and has been referenced from an accredited Scientific Journal (International Journal of Hydrogen Energy) and has been verified throught various media sources (CNN),(NBC),(FOX News). As per the arguement that this is "pseudoscience", that may be a valid arguement because the research is ongoing. However the information provided is accurate as is currently understood in science per the cited information. This alone does not constitute a reason to delete an article as outlined in the Articles for deletion on Misplaced Pages. So this article meets neither the criteria for speedy deletion nor the criteria for articles of deletion, nor the criteria for proposed deletion.

*'''Comment''': I voted in the AfD, so I'll abstain here. However, the author argued vociferously with every 'delete' motion. I will make no comment on whether it is proper policy or not, but the debate was closed with an early dispensation, probably, to shut off a flood of nonce account voting and a tireless waging of a war of attrition by the author. The 'voting' was going toward a strong delete, once the suspicious voices were eliminated, and letting the debate run additional time would show little in the way of legitimate and much in the way of illegitimate contention. I ''support'' the early close. ] 12:59, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

*'''Comment''': I would be content if someone else wanted to attempt to write a New neutral article on the topic of Aquygen or HHO Gas. Aquygen was deleted and protected from recreation, which I am protesting. HHO Gas is being discussed currently as per the Articles for Deletion (AfD), and may or may not be deleted. Apparently the issue is that people feel that Aquygen is a Brown's Gas, and from my understanding Brown's Gas is considered by some sources to be a hoax. Because of some similarities to Brown's Gas, HHO Gas (Aquygen) is also being considered by some to be a hoax. It has not been verified from any known sources to prove that HHO Gas is a hoax, and I have seen no overwhelming scientific evidence which supports the notion that Aquygen Gas is a hoax. The original sources of information for the Aquygen article can be viewed from the following sources listed below. I cannot find any scientists who have written articles dismissing HHO Gas or Aquygen as a hoax. If anyone can provide this information I would be open to reading it. As per the deletion of the article, I know that the debate was closed early, recieving less than 24 hours of debate and discussion which does not allow for the full 5 days or 120 hours of debate and discussion outlined in the guidelines of the official wikipedia Policy of Articles for Deletion. I would like to see the topic discussed for the full 5 day period, which is my protest of this article being deleted and protected from recreation. Below are the orignal sources for the article.

**'''Point of Reference''': This is the last comment I am going to make regarding this Subject! I am beyond arguing about the Articles for Deletion. I accept that the article was deleted through the AfD process apparently May 25th to June 2nd. Therefore I am not going to argue about the AfD policy regarding this article. It Was Deleted, I am over it. At some point when this technology is more readily available and becomes common knowledge, The article will be rewritten anyway. Therefore I am not going to waste my time with people who believe that everything about this gas is a HOAX. I am however going to state for the record that this is in fact a real product. You can argue that this gas may NOT be a Revolutionary New form of Energy, but NOT That this is a Real Product. You can call up Donald Wann with The Fulton County Area Technology Center in Kentucky and ask them if they are using HHO Gas, They will tell you Yes. I called and confirmed this. Fact is that it is being used in commercial applications. The overwhelming reason that this article was submitted for deletion was on the basis that it is a HOAX. I submit that if that is the case, I have been fooled by one of the most Elaborate and Expensive Hoaxes in history!! For anyone who is interested in more information, please view the following video from Google Video. It is 15 minutes long, and there are interviews with credible people about their use of HHO Gas. You can also download the powerpoint presentation provided by the Fulton County Area Technology Center in Kentucky. and Here

Safire

Can an administrator tell me whether the contents of the deleted article was about the female artist active since the 1980s? If so, then she clearly deserves an article by several of the criteria listed at WP:MUSIC and the deletion should be undone. For one thing, at the time of deletion the article was linked to by list of 1980s one-hit wonders in the United States, so the deletion in this case may have been done a little bit too speedily. ---- Dissident (Talk) 00:33, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

No, it had nothing to do with music. Here's the first two lines: "XSafire, Safire13, And XSafire13 are all the same people as Safire. The creator of Safire Is Safire, and does not want his real name reaveled." The rest was more of the same. -- JLaTondre 00:39, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanks for the info. -- Dissident (Talk) 00:46, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
Not to belabor the point, but did you look back in the history? · rodii · 02:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
It was a newly created article with no other contributors. -- JLaTondre 13:14, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
  • I believe the musical artist's name is spelled Sa-Fire, if we're talking about the person who had a hit with "Thinking of You." Her name is currently a redlink, but she would meet at least one of the WP:MUSIC criteria if someone wanted to create such an article. --Metropolitan90 14:15, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
