This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Danny (talk | contribs) at 20:33, 31 July 2002 (vote for American Communists. Text already removed). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

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.

  • Hans Selye
    • Zoe July 21, 2002 because there's nothering there but dates, not even an explanation of who he is
      • You folks are so quick to delete, five minutes in Google and click on Hans Selye to see what I came up with, an important and interesting medical figure who has probably made all our lives better with his discoveries and who someone else can probably really do a good article on in the future.

  • Short words
    • July 23, 2002: a "list of encyclopedia articles" like article that may only be hiding orphans and isn't really of any use (as far as I can see) - Jheijmans
      • I always assumed that the purpose of this list had something to do with the limitations of our search feature, although I didn't see exactly how it could be put to use. I suggest that the people modifying the search feature to allow it to search for certain words (at least in titles) use this list as a guide and then (assuming that no objections appear to Jheijmans' vote) delete it. — Toby 14:23 Jul 23, 2002 (PDT)
  • Laura
    • July 24, 2002: This is a personal page, and I suspect not from a Wikipedia user. If the author is a user, the page should be moved to user namespace; if not, deleted.
      • There's a film called Laura, according to the two other links to the page. The page is not about the film.
      • Special:Listusers indicates that we have a User:Laura Bierman, but she has no user page and doesn't seem to have made any contributions at all. I don't know if this is the same Laura or not; just reporting in case anybody else thinks of checking what I just checked. — Toby 11:34 Jul 24, 2002 (PDT)
  • Israeli-Palestinian violence
    • July 25, 2002: This is not a suitable subject for an encyclopaedia, and people who feel strongly about the topic will be distracted from working on proper articles by the need to purge it of propaganda for one side or the other. GrahamN
  • Some Elementary Comments on The Rights of Freedom of Expression
    • Newbie experiment (copyright violation is hidden in the history). --mav
  • Year in Review/Backward
    • Orphan with no use (no responses in talk question - that page links it now). Accompanied by similar pages for 1st through 19th and 21st century. Jeronimo 04:52 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)
      • A search for year review backward will find all of these pages, everything that links to them, and nothing else. I don't see why any of it should be kept either; the reasons may be lost in the mists of time. — Toby 12:27 Jul 26, 2002 (PDT)
  • Rush Limbaugh/Environmental wacko talk and Rush Limbaugh/Feminazi talk
    • Needless empty and orphan talk pages, Jeronimo 14:22 Jul 28, 2002 (PDT)
      • I've redirected these to their new locations, so they no longer need to be deleted.
  • Bubi
    • In Spanish and highly POV to boot. --mav
  • Macie Nguema Biyogo
    • In Spanish and highly POV to boot. --mav
  • Titanic
    • We already have RMS Titanic, which has much more information. RMS Titanic even makes a link to Titanic, which is really unnecessary. -- Zoe
      • I've redirected this to RMS Titanic, so it doesn't need to be deleted.
  • Trinity College of Florida
    • Newbie experiment. There is a copyright violation in the history. --mav
  • Founding Brothers
    • orphaned non-article - stub about someone's book. KJ
  • How to write a poem
    • It's actually one line of indifferent love lyric. Vicki Rosenzweig 19:53 Jul 31, 2002 (PDT)
  • Talk:Palestine/Commentary
    • Nothing but a series of questions that appear to be aimed at answering some homework question. --mav
  • American Communists
    • Article by Helga essentially claiming without basis that Communist infiltrators determined American policy during the Truman administration.
