Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

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, and delete them. 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.

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 article names to this list that might in the future become articles. There's no reason to delete those. 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 be 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.

  • Tarquin, Friday, June 21, 2002, because : old user pages, content moved to user: and user talk: namespaces
• Iain Banks/The Crow Road, Iain Banks/Espedair Street, Iain M. Banks/Consider Phlebas, Iain Banks/The Wasp Factory, Iain M. Banks/Culture

• Prabu Gopalakrishnan
  • DanKeshet June 21, 2002, because : The #1 google link for this guy is our orphans page. Not much after that either.
• Orcs
  • Ed Poor June 21, 2002, because : All "Orcs" links now changed to orc
    • I disagree. For one thing, there are talk links that have not been changed. But more importantly, this could well become a spontaneous link in the future. The redirect now is fine. — Toby Bartels, Friday, June 21, 2002
    • I disagree as well. I prefer to have names of mythological races in a plural version (e.g. Elves, Dwarves), and while in Orcs it's not strictly necessary (justifying a redirect to Orc), I prefer to keep the plural version as well. Uriyan, Friday, June 21, 2002.
• September 11, 2001
  • Bryan Derksen June 21, 2002, because : the "specific day in history" pages never took off, and the others have been deleted. I also don't think it should be a redirect, since other things did happen on that day in history. I think this page should be deleted.
