This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Montrealais (talk | contribs) at 16:27, 15 January 2003. The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Add links to unwanted page titles to the list below so an administrator can find them and check whether or not they should be deleted. Please review Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages before adding to this page. If the page should be deleted, an admin will do so, and the link will be removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, someone will remove the link from this page. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of a week before a decision is made.

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.

In many cases, a page does not need to be deleted. In particular, do not add page titles of stubs that at least have a decent definition 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 that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called Hume can be 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 it from this list as well.

If another solution has been found for some of these pages than deletion, leave them listed for a short while, so the original poster can see why it wasn't deleted, and what did happen to it. This will prevent reposting of the same item.

  • Emilie du Chatelet seems to have a lot of stuff taken from http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/chatelet.htm. Copyright violation? -- SGBailey 13:40 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
  • Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    • One sentence article that was also redundant, now empty. Update: Now a redir, which is no longer needed. Please remove. --Eloquence
    • This page should not be removed, it is a perfectly fine article and this person as well as I believe one other have deleted it twice, requiring me to go in and fix it. - The T
      • From the talk page: This page or this principle is not worth an edit war. Let the guy write it. If it is important, more stuff will come, if not, who cares? Personally, I think that a single article on the "Sonic family of games" makes more sense, but if there is more than one article on this "family" then why not this one too? Ortolan88
  • Wikipedia:Utilites Redirection page. Not a common misspelling.
  • Pashtoon
    • possible copyright violation. Please convert to #REDIRECT Pashtun instead of deleting. -- JeLuF 22:01 Dec 26, 2002 (UTC)
  • Lott's resignation
    • this material should go into Trent Lott -- isis 14:33 Dec 28, 2002 (UTC)
  • Assumptions A pointless ramble Tannin
  • NirvanaBand/Smells Like Teen Spirit
    • Contained "See:Nirvana Band and Smells Like Teen Spirit", now empty. -- Zoe
  • January 2002
    • Moved the content to 2002 -- Zoe
    • There's all the other "* 2002" pages to delete too. -- Tarquin 10:40 Dec 29, 2002 (UTC)
      • The 2002 page is going to get pretty large if you try to merge all of that content in. These are all archives of the Current events page, and the monthly archive seems about the right interval to me, especially given the growing use of Current events. January 2002 is clearly the exception; that was prior to the Current events page being used in earnest. - RobLa 01:46 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)
      • Yes, these should stay. They are both archives of the current events page and they provide a far more detailed year in review than does the 2002 page. Remember, Wikipedia is a encyclopedia with almanac-like content and any almanac worth its salt will have a detailed year in review covering the year prior to the almanac's edition. --mav
  • Culture jam
  • Henry III, Holy Romen Emperor
    • Odd misspelling. These Henrys are confusing enough without this
  • SEP0field
    • Just a redirect (formerly 'see', formerly one-sentence dupe stub), appears to be a bad title, not linked
  • Volkspartij_voor_Vrijheid_and_Democratie
    • Sorry, bad title. You'd better delete this one, a redirect is not necessary.
  • Catherine Fenton
    • This article contains no information about the person, and it doesn't look as if there are plans to add any. --Deb
  • The Free State Project
    • Possible copyright violation (another damn micronation vanity page too). --mav 08:26 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • I have no explicit permission to use the original F.S.P. self-description under the GPL specifically. However, I have permission to spread at least an almost identical version of that description "wherever": Distribute information about the FSP to friends, family, or fellow pro-freedom political activists at liberty-friendly events, gun shows, rallies, meetings, wherever. [1] This statement regards, amongst others, this brochure specifically. Please, notify me as soon as you reconsider the Possible Copyright Infringement -- you deleted the article unexpectedly to me, while I still edited it. (Wasn't it sorta aggressive?) I want to update it ASAP, while the idea still sustains in my mind. -- 6birc 10:07 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • The article must be available under GFDL - not only be freely distributable. We require the right to change the article, which the wherever-clause does not provide. -- JeLuF 10:25 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • Thank you for explanation. I will contact the copyright owner for permission or will rephrase the text. -- 6birc 17:45 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
  • Petition of Right, 1628
    • Original material, better be placed at sourceberg. -- JeLuF
  • Spass guerilla
    • Consists only of cross-references and weblinks. -phma 2002-12-31
  • Invisible Theater
  • Hugh MacDonald
  • File:Liftarn.gif
    • The copyright issue of this image is unclear. // Liftarn 12:22 Jan 7, 2003 (UTC)
  • Heiroglyphic letters and symbols
    • Empty article, which is now an orphan, because the only reference to it (Darius I of Persia) now links directly to "Hieroglyph". Wrong spelling, too.
  • Nikhedonia
    • A micronation article. This is something I did as a child, that someone has found out about and put on Wikipedia. I have no interest in having it here. - Montréalais
  • Hempno
    • seems to be somebodys bongthink, and though cute, doesnt say anything sensible whatsoever.--Sv
    • Ach... upon reread, I withdraw my vote. But leave it here to stew, I guess.--Sv
      • I vote for deletion: there are three google hits for hempno, which all describe completely different things. There are no hits for the myterious inventor, too. Seems to be invented stuff. -- JeLuF 20:46 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
  • The material currently being entered en masse by Pedreco from the list of micronations page is of no intrinsic value. Many of the listed micronations are defunct, and a significant proportion of the data being included in articles for those that are not is complete and utter fantasy. Wikipedia is not a work of fiction; these are fictional listings and should therefore be deleted. There *are* a tiny handful of micronations that have an extensive documented history (ie not just a badly-designed geocities web page) and some form of existence in the "real world" but they are either already dealt with in the "micronation" article, or have their own separate articles.
See this mail to WikiEN-l for a reorg suggestion. --Eloquence

  • NetHack/Amulet of Yendor - doesn't seem to deserve a separate page

  • The Living Christ
    • just a link. -- Tarquin 20:17 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
  • Anonymous Coward entry reads "An Anonymous Coward is usually refered to as an anonymous poster on Slashdot. This name is also sometimes used by trolls. "- is this an articel or just someone letting off steam (anonymously)? quercus robur 20:52 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
The sentence seems to be backwards. It's true that an anonymous post on slashdot is automatically attributed to "anonymous coward". But the sentence doesn't make much sense to me as written. Sannse 21:14 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
