This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Infrogmation (talk | contribs) at 22:08, 21 March 2003 (rm deleted). 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.

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.

Please sign any suggestion for deletion (use four tildes, ~~~~, to sign with your user name and the current date).

If you wish to delete subpages in your own user space, use Wikipedia:Personal subpages to be deleted

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.

  • Table of Derivatives and Indefinite Integrals orphan, title violates capitalization guidelines. Misleadinging redirects to Table of integrals, which, though it does have indefinite integrals, has no derivatives and has some definite integrals, too. Eric119 23:37 Mar 5, 2003 (UTC)
    • How does it 'violate capitalisation guidelines' given that correctly in a title it treats the words 'Derivatives' and 'Indefinite Integrals' as proper nouns? Proper nouns in wiki are given capitals in titles. JtdIrL
      • Neither 'derivative' nor 'indefinite integral' is a proper noun. Eric119 05:24 Mar 6, 2003 (UTC)
      • It depends on context of usage. In some contexts, in particular when used in titles, they are capitalised, particularly in some European textbooks when used as definitions.
I made it a slightly less tiny stub. More info would be good, but it's doing no harm. IMO leave it. -- Infrogmation 20:38 Mar 20, 2003 (UTC)
  • American Metric Standard - according to Mintguy there ain't no such thing, just some solitary individual with too much time on his hands to put a ficticious item on wikipedia that he alone in the planet believes in. Though until you examine it, it actually looks 'serious'. And Metric Time may be similarly dodgy. (Mintguy's info is on the American Metric Standard talk page). Delete quickly this unfortunate soul wears himself out adding to these pages on the hour, every hour. (Every friggin' hour!) STÓD/ÉÍRE 03:55 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)
    • possible copyright violation -- JeLuF 08:08 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
    • R1: It was Staff's decision to move the article originally appended to metric time to a separate article page, and the title was then taken from its source: whence Mintguy's remarks are warm flames.
    • R2: STÓD/ÉÍRE may have attempted access to the page while Staff was editing it (over an hour) to fit the Wikipedia standard format and nomenclature, whence STÓD/ÉÍRE' tones are serious flaming and should be banned permanently.
    • R3: There is no possible copyright violation under US/Fair Use: The original article on-web is definitive as well as inventive: ie. a publicized 'patent'; and the wikipedia article is correct, tributary, and non detractive. And the author is the same in both cases. /Mr. Raymond Kenneth Petry. mailto:pdqbanker@justice.com (or the e-mail listed on the referred-to web-site)
    • R4: Unless Wikipedia corrects the above two items, and its procedures for posting articles, it shall be legally pursued as a Napster of flamewars. [ibid]
  • Sniggle
    • dictionary def -- Tarquin 09:30 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)
    • I'm thinking it would do better as a redirect to culture jamming -- Hephaestos 22:20 Mar 15, 2003 (UTC)
    • Perhaps there are different traditions, but the explanations of the various meanings of the term "sniggle" is a thing I would hope Wikipedia could cover. The direct dictionary quote would benefit from a rewrite making it a proper article, though. -- Egil 05:31 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not a dictionary - take it to wiktionary


  • Rychle sipy
    • About a Czech serial, but written in Czech language; should be translated or deleted -- Cordyph 17:40 Mar 16, 2003 (UTC)
    • I moved the Czech content to the Czech edition of Wikipedia - the fine folks of that place can judge its worth. Yes, the page on en: should be deleted. Martin

Image:Sisi.JPG - copyright violation -- Zoe

(I lost this addition in my reversion, sorry) -- sannse 10:33 Mar 18, 2003 (UTC)
  • IEEE 802.1 now empty, was junk and before that was 802.3 not 802.1 -- SGB
  • Victor Meldrew
    • Separate article of two lines for a sitcom character that should be on the sitcom page, One Foot in the Grave. --jaknouse
    • I disagree totally, He is not just a sitcom character; he one of the most recognised characters ever to be created in a sitcom. Of course there should be page on him. STÓD/ÉÍRE 03:55 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)


RE: Slogan:AIDS Kills Fags Dead

  • There is no place for this kind of crap in Wikipedia. IT DOES NOTHING BUT DRIVE PEOPLE AWAY. Move the text as a sub in an article on discrimination or wherever appropriate. Then delete the damn page so that vistiors to Wikipedia arent't subject to this kind of language. User:Black Widow
    • As I have said numerous times, hear hear! This page has had more combacks than Bill Clinton and I still have seen no convincing justification for its existence in this form. STÓD/ÉÍRE 03:55 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
  • Gold Faced Pumpkins and the forty or so related pages. I could not find any information on this band or its members or its albums on the 'net. -- goatasaur
    • related pages include Log On To My Head, which actually says "not signed, have produced no records". seconded -- Tarquin 09:37 Mar 20, 2003 (UTC)

REQUEST FOR PHOTO DELETIONS: - I posted the following photos yesterday but am replacing them with improved versions shortly. Someone kindly delete these. Thank you. User:Black Widow.

    • You can upload the better versions over the top of the old versions, I believe. Try it, let us know at the village pump if you have problems.
    • Thank you. Normally one can "replace" them but I had already deleted them from my hard drive. I copied one from Wikipedia and redid it (tried two tests) but it didn't work so I have already reloaded all of them using a new, different descriptive name. So, someone can delete these. User:Black Widow
  • Dog Island - formerly text identical to commercial website; now blank. No pages link here. -- Infrogmation 20:09 Mar 20, 2003 (UTC)
  • Great Famine POV and terribly written. -- Zoe
    • Redirected to Irish potato famine, should be okay.
    • Technically it should be under Great Famine or Great Irish Famine - while it was an Irish potato famine it was called the Great Famine. And in its original form it wasn't badly written. This article was the result of a major edit war but more or less reflects the general view of historians, though it had to take into account and some theories about the famine that are widely held in the US (even if regarded with distain bordering on ridicule among historians in Ireland). But by no manner of means is this a POV article; it has gone through weeks of editing to satisfy marxist historical analysis, mainstream Irish historical analysis, republican historical analysis, etc. It is bizarre to even find this article here. Under no circumstances should it be removed. STÓD/ÉÍRE 05:48 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
JT, PLEASE read the original version of Great Famine, then come back here and apologize. I asked for its deletion before the redirect. -- Zoe
Mea culpa, Zoe. Tá brón orm (I am sorry in gaelic). I didn't realise there was a separate great famine thing there. I thought someone had renamed the Irish potato famine to that name. And yes, you were right. That original article under Great Famine was a mega pile of dog doo doo. Good riddance to it. (Obviously I'm very tired. I should have trusted your opinion. Accept my apologies, grovel, grovel, grovel!) STÓD/ÉÍRE 05:59 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
  • The current incarnation of darkness; while it might be worth having a page for this, the new page just created certainly doesn't cut it.
