< Wikipedia:Votes for deletion
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 217.24.129.50 (talk) at 17:11, 21 January 2003 (*Bryn Athyn College of the New Church). 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 online 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.

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.

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).

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.

  • Illevism
    • There's no such thing. Google gives 9 results (wikipedia, some copy of the wikipedia page, and its pendant at sv.wikipedia.org). --Magnus Manske 11:09 Jan 18, 2003 (UTC)
  • Foreign relations of Antarctica
    • Antarctica/Transnational issues (redirect page)
    • Antarctica has no "foreign relations", and the territorial claims are extensively discussed on the main page.
  • Possible addition on why anti-semitism in newspapers etc
  • Bromley and Chislehurst Constituency
    • Some unspecified poll results
    • It's nto the only Constituency page I created. I dont have time to do all constutuencys results.
    • I've tied it up to MPs elected in British Elections 2001, along with all the other "x Constituency" pages, so at least they aren't orphaned now. -Nommo
  • Jehovah's Witnesses: Controversial Issues
  • Prophesies
    • An NPOV attempt to justify religious belief. Danny
    • On the Talk page of this article, I list some reasons for keeping it. Wesley
    • I'm not going to touch the contents of this with a 10-foot pole, but at least get the spelling right. Perhaps it should even go into a List of ... format. Eclecticology
  • 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 kon; White horse thumbnail is used here in horse. -phma 2002-10-05
  • Image:Enigma.png - This appears to be taken from www.gcsb.govt.nz/infhist.htm - according to their copyright disclaimer, the image can be used but the source and copyright status must be acknowledged.
  • JewWatch not an encyclopedia entry. --Elian
    • With another sentence or two it could qualify as a stub. Perhaps someone was planning on adding encyclopedic content? You'll note that some web sites do get an entire article. See Hot Or Not. --Ryguasu
  • chemiosmotic potential
  • Chie
    • Content copy-pasted from the copyrighted Encyclopedia Mythica, please check it --Mrwojo 17:02 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)
  • The Incidentalist Manifesto
    • Some kind of weird rant -- Zoe
  • Jewish Islamophobia
    • Highly inflammatory and POV. Has no purpose. -- Zoe
      • Zoe, on the surface, I will state my agreement with you. But as a question: is this inflammatory because it is poorly written or, because "Jewish Islamophobia" doesnt exist, or isn't "medically" recognised? Are some people afraid of Islam? Are some of them Jews? Are some of these fears irrational? :)-Sv
    • I agree with Zoe; this article is inflammatory, and POV. It should be deleted. Stevertigo is simply wrong. How does his claim that some people are irrationally afraid of Muslims jsutify an article with this title? It doesn't. I am not aware of any special fear or hatred of Muslims peculiar to Jews. There already are articles on people who hate Muslims and Arabs. Vote for deletion. RK
  • Mamelukes
    • possible copyright violation. Please convert to #REDIRECT instead of deleting after grace period expires -- JeLuF 00:14 Dec 21, 2002 (UTC)
  • Primatology and Primatologist.
    • These pages are nothing more than dictionary definitions. -- Zoe
  • Incidentalism and Incidentalist Manifesto
    • Ideosyncratic nonsense. --mav
  • Jtdirl moved George I of the United Kingdom to George I of Great Britain without bothering to discuss it with anyone. I think ... United Kingdom should be deleted so that ... Great Britain can be moved back. -- Zoe
    • It should be possible to move the page back if required without deletion, since ...United Kingdom consists of only a redirect to ...Great Britain with nothing in its history. However, I think the original page move is correct in any case, so moving back is not necessary. --Camembert 02:49 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)
  • 5W, 5wc, 5WC, Fifth World nation, Virtual state, Fifth World Council, Cesidio Tallini
    • These redirects are all part of the Fifth World vanity project, too
  • File:5WPhilosophy.txt
    • Text files should not be hosted here. Also, part of the Fifth World vanity project
  • image:5thworld.jpg
    • Another bit of the Fifth World vanity project

these appear to be multi-lingual vanity pages, part of the Fifth World vanity project

  • File:Liftarn.gif
    • The copyright issue of this image is unclear. // Liftarn 12:22 Jan 7, 2003 (UTC)
      • How do I delete an Image? I clicked on "del" in front of the image, it's still there. I clicked on "Delete" at the bottom of the page - it's still there. Help! -- JeLuF 08:06 Jan 19, 2003 (UTC)
  • Hempno
    • seems to be somebodys bongthink, and though cute, doesnt say anything sensible whatsoever.--Sv
    • Ach... upon reread, I withdraw my vote. But leave it here to stew, I guess.--Sv
      • I vote for deletion: there are three google hits for hempno, which all describe completely different things. There are no hits for the myterious inventor, too. Seems to be invented stuff. -- JeLuF 20:46 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
  • The material currently being entered en masse by Pedreco from the list of micronations page is of no intrinsic value. Many of the listed micronations are defunct, and a significant proportion of the data being included in articles for those that are not is complete and utter fantasy. Wikipedia is not a work of fiction; these are fictional listings and should therefore be deleted. There *are* a tiny handful of micronations that have an extensive documented history (ie not just a badly-designed geocities web page) and some form of existence in the "real world" but they are either already dealt with in the "micronation" article, or have their own separate articles.
See this mail to WikiEN-l for a reorg suggestion. --Eloquence
  • Jabad
    • This is not the Spanish language Wikipedia. -- Zoe
  • Zarahemla
    • Possible copyright violation -- JeLuF 22:47 Jan 9, 2003 (UTC)
  • NetHack/Amulet of Yendor - doesn't seem to deserve a separate page
  • [[Maraj%F3_micronation]]
    • Not encyclopedic, essentially orphaned
  • Anonymous Coward entry reads "An Anonymous Coward is usually refered to as an anonymous poster on Slashdot. This name is also sometimes used by trolls. "- is this an articel or just someone letting off steam (anonymously)? quercus robur 20:52 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
The sentence seems to be backwards. It's true that an anonymous post on slashdot is automatically attributed to "anonymous coward". But the sentence doesn't make much sense to me as written. Sannse 21:14 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)
