This is an old revision of this page, as edited by JeanetteMartin (talk | contribs) at 21:09, 4 April 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.

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.

    • 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)
    • Looks like it's become an adiquate article. -- Infrogmation 09:02 Apr 4, 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)

  • Civilians killed at checkpoint breaking news, put not worth an encyclopedia entry. -- till we *) 23:17 Mar 31, 2003 (UTC)
    • agree -◈¡◈
    • Probably a newbie did that. Newbies are encouraged, after all God knows I was a bad newby! But Till is right. Breaking News, which change constantly, can not be written about, at least until all the facts are known to the public.

  • 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)
I found two that didn't link to that site, but googling for Bucharest + "Little Paris" got 418 hits. It seems to be a legitmate nickname. Whether it merits an article is a seperate question. --Infrogmation 18:58 Apr 2, 2003 (UTC)
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)
  • List of people named Fred. -- goatasaur
    • Hear, hear. This sort of rubbish gives wiki a bad name. We really have gone overboard with pointless ridiculous lists lately. What next [[Lists of Left Handed People From Montana with a Nose Piercing]] STÓD/ÉÍRE 00:26 Apr 3, 2003 (UTC)
    • It's a bit like (a portion of) Biographical Listing/F, except that it is by first name. It can be useful for people who are at least as well known by their first name as by their last. And the usefulness of such lists have increased since the search facility of wikipedia is often disabled. However, I deleted names without any info about the person (neither in the list nor through a link) - Patrick 15:57 Apr 3, 2003 (UTC)
  • Hail to the Thief and St. Anger
    • Both seem to be by User:Michael who is banned. Speculation about albums not yet released. No real info in either article (neither could there be seeing as they're not out yet). And the dates look wrong as well (June 10 is a Tuesday). --Camembert
      • Hail to the Thief is Radiohead's new album [1]. St. Anger is Metallica's newest album, which is (I think) a live album due to be released on DVD also [2]. -- goatasaur
      • I know that, but neither of them are out yet. They might not come out for months after their due date, or change names before being released, or even not appear at all. There is also Chinese Democrazy, which I would also like deleted. --Camembert
