Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below (or use the Vote feature) so an admin can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages. If the page should be deleted, an admin will, and the link removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, an admin will remove the link from this page. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of a week before a decision is made.
Also, check the What links here link. Many entries that seem not to belong in an encyclopedia, are linked from Sep 11, 2001 related pages. See Dealing with September 11 pages.
If the content of a page-to-be-deleted exists on some different page, please indicate that, somehow, on the page-to-be-deleted (either by redirecting it to the correctly titled page, or, better for our purposes, putting in a link to it). To facilitate checking that a "page title to be deleted" really ought to be deleted, please don't redirect such pages to page titles to be deleted.
As a general rule, don't delete pages you nominate for deletion. Let someone else do it.
Please review Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages before adding to this page. In the past, about half of the titles added to this page were not deleted. In particular, do not add page titles of stubs that at least have a decent defintion and might in the future become articles. There's no reason to delete those (see Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub). Also, please don't list pages on this page that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called Hume can b e easily and sensibly redirected to David Hume; presidant (a misspelling) can be redirected to president; etc. (Even misspellings can be caught by search engines and provide Wikipedia perfectly relevant traffic!) Similarly, pages in the wrong namespace (for example, user pages in the main namespace), can be redirected and should not be deleted if there are still old links to them.
Discussion about the merits of deleting a page listed here should take place on wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion.
NOTE to Wiki Administrators: Simply deleting a page does not automatically delete its talk page or any subpages. Please delete these pages first, and then the main page. Also, if you delete a page, remove if from this list as well.

- Wikipedia arranged by topic + Talk
- An old (?) and incomplete (page truncated) topic scheme. I think we already have several similar pages, and this one's obsolete. If we keep it, it should at least go to the Wikipedia: namespace. Jeronimo 11:06 Sep 10, 2002 (UTC)
- ChristianityTalk
- Page claims not to be the talk of the Christianity page, but for general discussion - should therefore be removed or moved to Meta. Jeronimo
- Michael Asher
- Personal page
- Yep, but it's Cantor Fitzgerald related (see below) -- Nairobiny
- Personal page
- Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam/Introduction
- Although part of the (no longer present) original text, this introduction contains some useful information. Should we remove it and wait for original text to come by, or put it as the main article (with some editing)? Jeronimo 10:22 Sep 11, 2002 (UTC)
- John Kevin McAvoy
- personal tribute, not an article. Robert Merkel 13:21 Sep 11, 2002 (UTC)
- Yes, it is a personal tribute, but one that we (well, at least cunc) asked for. It should stay, until we decide were are we going to put them (an special apart maybe?)AN
- Man Rated
- dictionary entry, (as yet unwritten) discussion of higher safety requirements for manned craft would be better elsewhere. Robert Merkel 13:25 Sep 11, 2002 (UTC)
- Abbottadad
- As far as I can see none of the information on this page is less than 50 years outdated. Andre Engels 20:55 Sep 13, 2002 (UTC)
- Natural Resources Defense Council
- Can hardly be called a stub, the only linking page already has more information. Andre Engels 22:45 Sep 14, 2002 (UTC)
- Saint Catherine of Alexandria
- This should have been Catherine of Alexandria to be consistent with the naming conventions and Catherine of Siena, and I have moved the content to the right page. -- isis 15 Sep 2002
- Harmless redirect Andre Engels
- This should have been Catherine of Alexandria to be consistent with the naming conventions and Catherine of Siena, and I have moved the content to the right page. -- isis 15 Sep 2002
- Guru Granth Sahib - text was copied verbatim from a Sikh's site, then replaced with a copyright violation notice. Listed Aug 24 on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention; no attention since 25th. Moved to delenda Sep 15. -phma
- AbdicatioN -- a mere typo ? -- isis 21:57 Sep 17, 2002 (UTC)
- No - not a typo. Once upon a time, when Wikipedia used much older software, all pages had wierd titles like this. They have all long since been given sensible names, but the old names still exist as redirects. There are thousands of redirects like that, and they do no harm - no need to delete. Enchanter

- Wikipedia is not a dictionary Andre Engels 17:42 Sep 18, 2002 (UTC)
- There could be information on the cultivar eventually. but it certainly is a stub of the worst kind -- Tarquin 17:55 Sep 18, 2002 (UTC)
- Superpower collapse
- Entire article in Talk because of NPOV problems, doesn't seem like a valid article anyway. Jeronimo
- Put it as an essay on meta perhaps? Andre Engels
- The most basic encyclopedia article topics and related pages
- Should these be in the Wikipedia namespace? I mean, they're not articles.. Jeronimo
- September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Slogans and terms and September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Opportunists
- Unless there are objections, I will move these to meta, as was already done with the personal experiences. Opportunists doesn't explain anything and simply gives a full-text external source. Media Slogans is a useless collection of what tv stations used to indicate the events. Jeronimo
- Le Bébète Show
- Misspelling content moved to Le Bébête Show, no links remaining.
- There's no need to delete this - this mis-spelling has been used before (the original article was moved from here), and it will probably be used again. --Camembert
- The Age of Spiritual Machines
- Copyright violation from website noted on the page is in the history. --mav
- I'd say an entry on this book would be good, just not that entry. --Anon
- Of course there should be an entry - however one has not been written yet. Copyright violations don't count, especially hightly chatty and POV ones. --mav
- Mihail Eminescu
- Copyright violation the website noted on the page -- Tarquin 01:51 Sep 20, 2002 (UTC)
- History of computing/Permission
- Hohe Strasse, Cologne, Germany
- I can't see the point of this page. The article on Cologne is so large that this two-liner could be absorbed in it without any problem.
- Talking of which, the copyright query about the whole page has never been answered. I'd like to work a bit on the page (e.g. starting a page on Cologne Cathedral - much more important than Hohe Strasse!). I have to confess a vested interest - it's my home town! User:Renata Sept. 20th, 2002
- Lake District National Park
- Copyright violation. --mav
- Poverty
- As the article itself already says, Wikipedia is not a dictionary. Andre Engels 12:48 Sep 20, 2002 (UTC)
- It needs work, but an article on the nature of poverty, causes, definition & statistics (I think different bits of the UN such as the WHO may have that sort of info). I suppose it's a question of do we improve it or just delete it for now, as it's currently worthless. -- Tarquin
- Chateau Ussé Picture only article -- JeLuF
- Image:Angus cattle thumbanil.jpg
- Misspelling, and I believe image redirects are impossible with the current version of the software. --Ellmist Friday, September 20th, 2002
