< Wikipedia:Votes for deletion

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 62.253.64.7 (talk) at 13:43, 2 April 2003 (removed peacekeeper, cristofori). 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.

    • Sango -- Notheruser 05:33 Mar 26, 2003 (UTC)
      • The version in history looks to be an attempt to write an article by someone for whom English is second language at below fluent level. Perhaps someone who knows a little about the subject can clean it up into an adiquate article? -- Infrogmation 01:55 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
  • Tiberiu Stefan Stanescu
    • probably a misunderstanding? User page (User:Bugmafia) and wikipedia content are almost identical. It seems an entry for T.S. Stanescu is (at the moment ;-) not justified -- mkrohn 02:14 Mar 27, 2003 (UTC)
  • Devi.
    • Recent malformed link to Devi, not linked by any other page. The Anome 09:58 Mar 27, 2003 (UTC)
  • JXTA Project, copyright violation, Aldie 12:49 Mar 27, 2003 (UTC)
    • Please use the boilerplate text from Wikipedia:Boilerplates. This text informs the new contributor why his contribution has been deleted. This explanation might help to convince him not to contribute copyrighted material the next time. -- JeLuF 21:50 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)~
  • Traumatology - maybe could be redirected instead, but I'm not sure where to -- sannse 21:18 Mar 28, 2003 (UTC)
  • Social Education Movement - an article whose name doesn't match its subject matter, and which seems to be a cut and paste. -- Zoe 01:28 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
  • 18 Songs, which is a redirect to 19 Songs, which is a supposed The Unseen album that even their official website doesn't list. It appears to be another figment of Michael's imagination. -- Zoe 01:43 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
  • Sri Savang Vatthana - not only does it only contain a picture an dno text, but "Sri" is a title, and if we're going to keep the article, we need to use a new name. -- Zoe 02:13 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
  • Phibul Songkhram - only a picture, no text. -- Zoe 02:34 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
    • Why delete? Surely text can follow later, the pic is still worth having unless it's a copy voilation. Theresa knott 08:36 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
    • "Phibun" Songkhram is a more common spelling, according to google.com. In the meantime, I'll try to get together a stub. Erzengel 10:30 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)
      • I filled the text, which originally showed up in Phibul, even though it's still mostly a stub, but maybe I will add more later. I also made the redirect, so the main article now resides at it's most common spelling Phibun Songkhram. So the deletion is no longer necessary. andy 16:22 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
  • shit sandwich - dictionary entry that will not become more (AFAICS) Tuf-Kat
    • It seems a mostly harmless explanation of a bit of slang to me. Infrogmation 07:15 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
  • Massacre by the U.S - as far as I can see we don't have similar pages for other countries. -- sannse 10:14 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
    • The language used ("Dresden massacre", "Hiroshima massacre") makes it sound biased. A list of military controversies for all nations might be more balanced. -- Erzengel 10:24 Mar 13, 2003 (UTC)
      • Yes, that would work better. This page was made by someone who objects to the article at Nanjing Massacre, presumably to make the point that the United States has its own nasty bits of history. Which is true, but I don't think this is the most balanced way to present that. sannse 06:22 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)

Orphaned redirects nominated by ◈¡◈:

  • QT Toolkit wrong spelling (the correct name is "Qt"). This now only a redirect page, but nothing links here anymore. Since the spelling is wrong, please remove this page. -- mkrohn 00:24 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
    • This page can stay as a redirect (many redirects have few, if any, links to them) -- Notheruser 06:58 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
      • Right, but the "nothing links here anymore" wasn't my real reason. I only mentioned that, in order to inform the admin that I already changed all wrong links. The real reason is the wrong spelling. If now someone writes an article and links to QT Toolkit then he will get a working link, but this means that the wrong spelling spreads further. On the other hand: if we remove the wrong spelled version and someone adds a link, he will remark that this link is red and will (hopefully) start thinking :-) To summarize: deleting this wrong spelled page makes it unlikely that the wrong spelling can spread further. -- mkrohn 10:06 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
        • From the top of the page: "Also, please don't list pages that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page...Even misspellings can be caught by search engines and provide Wikipedia perfectly relevant traffic!" I understand your intentions, but a contributor might think that a page doesn't yet exist for Qt Toolkit when it in fact does under a different spelling. The multiple redirects help keep linking within wikipedia flexible, a feature that helps speed up the editing and creation of articles. -- Notheruser 21:32 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
  • Micuparis does not survive the google test (I only found links to www.micuparis.net). Seems to be self promotion only by User:Bugmafia. -- mkrohn 09:55 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)


    • Family History Center,
      • possible copyright violation -- JeLuF 22:10 Apr 1, 2003 (UTC)
        • I have now added appropriate new text to this page. jaknouse 00:29 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • The Moonstone,
        • I have written a little stub for this. It is important as one of the earliest English mystery novels. Danny 02:04 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • S.O.S.
      • Changed to #REDIRECT,

I moved it to List of birthdays of rappers, better titled (if less funny) but still redundant. -- John Owens 01:51 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
