Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below (or use the Vote feature) so an admin can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages. If the page should be deleted, an admin will, and the link removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, an admin will remove the link from this page. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of a week before a decision is made.

Also, check the What links here link. Many entries that seem not to belong in an encyclopedia, are linked from Sep 11, 2001 related pages.

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.

Please review Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages before adding to this page. In the past, about half of the titles added to this page were not 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 on this page that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called Hume can be easily and sensibly 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 if 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.

La Cliqua
- Danny
  - It is just a request for music samples by a kid in French class.

Rabbenu
- Danny
  - It is simply the translation of a Hebrew phrase meaning "our rabbi."
    - Suggestion -- lets not delete this, just #REDIRECT to Rabbi, and explain the title there... -- 137.111.13.32 00:09 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)

United States of America/OldPage
- Jeronimo 00:26 Aug 27, 2002 (PDT)
  - Before it is deleted some version control needs to take place -- that page and the various CIA pages were being edited at the same time by different people. In some places the "old" page is more currently edited and in others the former CIA subpages are. --mav

Image:Kon s.jpg xor Image:White horse thumbnail.jpg
- They are identical. Kon s is used in the Polish article about koñ; White horse thumbnail is used here in horse. -phma 2002-10-05
Christianity - Trinitarianism vs. Oneness -- incomplete stub for a topic already covered in a number of other articles. Also poorly named. See Talk on that page. Wesley
Washington's Farewell Address
- This is original material and not an article about his speech. I think this is not what wikipedia is. -- JeLuF 22:20 Oct 8, 2002 (UTC)
- I think this is useful, although I don't know the specific policy about this type of thing. In any case, it could easily be made into an article, but in my view such a speech has historical significance and fits in an encylopedia, but that's just my view. -- Ram-Man
- I respectfully disagree -- having complete source material of this length is counter to our stated mission: we are an encyclopedia (hence we condense and summarize human knowledge, not regurgitate it), to be NPOV (hence we can't have POV material -- and a speech is inherently POV), we are a wiki (hence people should be able to edit and change material (therefore changing what GW said). Now having an article on the speech would be a very good thing. Then it would be appropriate to extract short passages for explanatory purposes (still not the best for a wiki but less material means there is less text to keep track of to make sure it is what he actually said). See What Wikipedia is not number 12. Hosting source material is not part of what we do here. This would make for a very interesting sister project (see m:Project Sourceberg). If we had such a sister project we could call up only certain lines and have those display in an uneditable box. Otherwise the entire speech would be at our sister site and just a click away. --mav
The following are all orphan articles: it looks as if someone started splitting up List of philosophical topics and gave up part way through. Since they only duplicate sections of the parent article, they should probably go. (the full list seems more useful for browsing topics , anyway) Malcolm Farmer 09:17 Oct 15, 2002 (UTC)
UK general election/results
- Orphan that I can't place with any other UK election page. Jeronimo
Kids/Mercury_(planet)
- Move to "Kiddipedia", meta, or delete? Orphan. Jeronimo
Can time move backwards: Orphan, unclear what its point is, seems like something that would be on Everything2, not Wikipedia. --k.lee
- Symmetry under time reversal is a serious topic, actively studied by physicists. The page is poorly written and contains no useful information, but it could theoretically be developed into a proper topic. -- Tim
- Suggest merging with Time travel Chas zzz brown 20:57 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
ISO 8859-1/Scheme source
- Irrelevant application code that was referenced by an earlier draft of its parent page, apparently just to advocate the Scheme programming language. Someone recently deorphaned it, but it should just go away. -- mjb 00:29 Oct 16, 2002 (UTC)
Genocide denial
- Not an article -- Zoe 01:42 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)
Israeli-Palestinian conflict (Current)
- No content (even in history), Wikipedia is not CNN and very bad title (will date quickly). --mav
Wikipedia:Sandbox/test
- Contents: "dummy text" -- Ellmist Sunday, October 20th, 2002
SITA
- Ad. Don't forget to nuke the talk page too. Give the author a week to respond though. --mav 23:53 Oct 20, 2002 (UTC)
Intuitive truth
- Talk, but no contents. Jeronimo
Christianity - Trinitarianism vs. Oneness
- Talk, but no contents. Jeronimo
Flipside
- Talk, but no contents. Jeronimo
Bibb City, Georgia, Hephzibah, Georgia, Clermont, Indiana, Crows Nest, Indiana, Homecroft, Indiana, Meridian Hills, Indiana, North Crows Nest, Indiana, Rocky Ripple, Indiana, Spring Hill, Indiana, Warren Park, Indiana, Williams Creek, Indiana, Wynnedale, Indiana,
- These will eventually be a disambiguation page, but for now I do not know the other city names. The data already exists on a different disambiguated page so that the data is duplicated. It is not just a matter of redirecting it now because when I come to creating the disambiguation pages, this one will be skipped if it already exists (making it harder on me!).

A day in the life of an ordinary Canadian
- Non-encyclopedic to the extreme Tokerboy 21:56 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)
  - I agree. Also, I've seen this floating around the Internet before, so it may be copyrighted. -- Zoe
    - This was written by me today and has never appeared on the Internet before. And, I think Ed Poor summed it up better than I could.....DW
      - Possibly amusing to a Canadian, but not an encyclopedia article by the longest stretch. DW: get your own web page and put it there. Ortolan88
Peter Hoeg
- Text in Danish (and probably with copyright). Anyway, his name is Peter Høeg. --Css
George Clinton (US VP)
- Possible copyright violation. --mav 19:45 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)
West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA)
- Possible copyright violation. I have emailed the external webmaster asking for the copyright status of the text. --mav 20:09 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)
Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC)
- Possible copyright violation. I have emailed the external webmaster asking for the copyright status of the text. mav 20:11 Oct 23, 2002 (UTC)
Pailingism Oct 24, 2002
- Whoever voted to delete this, I agree. The article doesn't make sense, and there is no such word. -phma
Image:Hilal.JPG and Image:MVC-002S.jpg
- Both by Akhalil. Hilal is two flags, one having a crescent substituted for the six-pointed star; MVC-002S appear to be some sort of protest or demonstration. Both orphans. -phma 2002-10-25
Image:Logo character art5cm.gif
- Is this allowed? -phma 2002-10-25
- Smells of a copyright violation to me. -- Zoe 21:51 Oct 25, 2002 (UTC)
Battle of Lexington and Concord
- This is sub-stub, but might evolve into an article. -- JeLuF 20:59 Oct 25, 2002 (UTC)
  - Content is poor, empty, would never be used in a real article, might as well delete, we can be sure there will be a real article someday. Ortolan88 05:10 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
Satyendranath Bose
- possible copyright infringement -- JeLuF 12:07 Oct 26, 2002 (UTC)
Image:Timormapa2.jpg - likely copyright violation
Tramp
- Looks like crap to me. Jeronimo
  - It isn't crap. It is very, very short, but it makes the point that tramps were different from other travelling indigents. See the talk page for an attempt to inspire further effort. Ortolan88
Image:Undergroundrailroadsmall.jpg - I put up a better version, so this one is just taking up space on the disk
- You could have just replaced the old image by the new one (simply by giving the same name to the image). So no image would have to be deleted and the image history would reflect your changes. -- JeLuF
Open Root Server Confederation
- Possible copyright infringement from http://www.open-rsc.org/about/. — Toby 14:52 Oct 28, 2002 (UTC)
Nonsense alert on 0001 B.C., not an article and not the appropriate name for an article on 1 BC (I think) Tokerboy 01:52 Oct 29, 2002 (UTC)
John Venn
- Not an article but an exercise regarding Venn diagrams. -- JeLuF 20:44 Oct 29, 2002 (UTC)
Preda Mihailescu
- The article is empty -- Zoe 05:22 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)
Mossel Bay
- Empty. -- Zoe
De Witt Clinton
- Originally contains "what? i don't want to edit, i want to read...this isn't helping me with m term paper...", is now empty -- Zoe 06:03 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)
Liar (short story)
- Entire text of article was "what". - 132.216.80.87 20:39 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)
State diagram
- Brief gibberish, now deleted. - 132.216.80.87 20:39 Oct 30, 2002 (UTC)
Compile time
- An empty article. Moreover, I think the only possible contents for this article would amount to a dictionary (of computing) entry. It is currently linked to only from Library linking, which could certainly clarify its use of "compile time" without reference to a whole article about it, if this were necessary. --Ryguasu
Danzig (band), Pantera, Primus
- Possible copyright violations from 64.175.251.49. --mav 02:21 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
  - Rewritten from scratch by KQ. --KQ 20:34 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
Thivai
- Contains no encyclopedic information -- Zoe 03:29 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
British Angora cat
- Possible copyright violation. --mav
Osiris-Dionysus
- Possible copyright violation. --mav 09:05 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
  - See Osiris-Dionysus Talk Page
Exar Kun
Major copyright violation from StarWars.com --mav 02:52 Nov 2, 2002 (UTC)
