Revision as of 01:18, 19 May 2003


Add links to unwanted page titles to the list below so one of the Wikipedia:Administrators can find them and check whether or not they should be deleted. Please review our policy on permanent deletion before adding to this page.

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

  • 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.

Don't list here...

  • 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
  • pages that need editing - see Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • subpages in your own user space, use Wikipedia:Personal subpages to be deleted

Note to admins

  • As a general rule, don't delete pages you nominate for deletion. Let someone else do it.
  • 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 put new items at the bottom of the page


  • Bead artists and the articles of the artists listed on the page. This seems more like a series of promotional pages. Kingturtle 17:25 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Cheicon.jpg I know this will bring debate but this photo is not clearly in the public domain. Ericd 23:34 May 11, 2003 (UTC)
    • A, it's not a photo, and B, that image is most certainly in the public domain. Why do you think it is reproduced so often? user:J.J.
    • A, it's a photo taken by The Cuban photographer Alberto Korda and printed with strong contrast, B Cuba didn't sign the Berne convention thus the right status is unclear, C Alberto Korda sued some users of this photo and they were condemned, D even if a photo is PD I think it's fair to credit the photographer if it's possible. Ericd
    • The photographer is now credited, btw. Martin 13:00 18 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Chautauqua contains two paragraphs lifted from other sources, and a link to the history of Chautauqua. Such content does not a wiki-article make. Kingturtle 23:18 May 13, 2003 (UTC)
    • Chautauqua definitely is something that should be an article. Please don't delete it, just make it a stub. jaknouse 07:00 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
  • CRALOG - a information-less orphan and stub untouched for 6 months. Kingturtle 06:01 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
  • CAMBO - to quote Vicki Rosenzweig, this article is "half plug, half cv" Kingturtle 06:06 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
  • Nimrod
    • Possible copyvio. --mav 21:43 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
  • Neoist - not clear what this article is about. -- Minesweeper 22:10 May 14, 2003 (UTC)


  • Fucking U.S.A. 2 - what is wikipedia policy on something like this. If this is an English language wikipedia, are items with no English translations suitable for an article? Kingturtle 23:14 May 14, 2003 (UTC)
    • On the article: the song could be merged with the band, if that band actually had an article. On the policy: just because there's no English translation doesn't mean it doesn't belong here. Is the Welsh Wikipedia] limited to Welsh topics? -- Tim Starling 14:22 May 15, 2003 (UTC)
  • Aris Estobar - sounds like a very nice guy, but the article is a first-person narrative of sorts. Aris Estobar is retrieved twice in google, and i can't tell if it is of this same person.
  • Alexander Skantze - unless someone can gleen enough information to create a decent stub and to de-orphan this article, it should be deleted. Kingturtle 05:13 May 15, 2003 (UTC)
  • Fonda -- seems to be an external link to some kind of advert. Deb 21:40 May 15, 2003 (UTC)
  • Qingdao
    • Possible copyright infringement -- JeLuF 08:28 18 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Chumphon province - can some delete the redirect, so I can move the article Chumpon province back to the correct place? I mixed up the two romanization variants, Chumphon is the official. andy 16:01 18 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Bryleigh's Theorem has zero Google hits. But I'm no mathematician, so if it's for real I'm happy to be corrected. Evercat 18:49 18 May 2003 (UTC)
    • No articles link here, and no Google hits on "Bryleigh's Theorem", "Bryleigh-Mayfield Theorem", or "Jayne Bryleigh". Implausible date (1665) quoted for theorem about differential equations: Isaac Newton only received his degree in 1665. Looks like a deliberate prank. I vote for deletion. -- Anon.


  • Battle of Ticonderoga (1758)
  • possible copyright infringement -- JeLuF 20:52 18 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Doesn't anybody read talk pages? :-) I had already commented that the text claims to be from an 1825 book. "Internal evidence" supports this too - it would be an extraordinary affectation for a 20th-century writer to adopt that style. I've restored the text, with the intention of modernizing.
