< Wikipedia:Votes for deletion
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Camembert (talk | contribs) at 03:55, 1 March 2003 (Nationalist Army). 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.

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).

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.

  • Lilo & Stitch
    • The article reads like it was copied from another location. I've asked Zanimum twice now to let us know where he/she got the information from, but Zanimum hasn't bothered to reply. -- Zoe
    • Is a slightly reworded version of [http://starbulletin.com/2002/06/23/features/story4.html].
    • Zanimum here-- I am planning to add on to my article, but I have since responded to Zoe's query. It is a compilation of about six articles worth of information, but in my own words, nethertheless. I can go at it some more to change it, but just let me expand it to it's full size before you consider the possiblities.


I believe that this page is trying to educate the reader about the pre-origins of Israel as mandated by the League of Nations in 1922. If the primary text cited as The Palestine Mandate : The Council of the League of Nations: July 24, 1922 was accurate, I think there should be a page refering to that document. Afterall, we have articles on the Declaration of independence and the Emancipation Proclamation. Why not this? This article could be saved (and informative) if someone summarized and described this 1922 League of Nations document and its purposes. That would seem perfectly legitimate to me, although I probably agree that it's inappropriate to cite the entire document. Arthur 00:38 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)
  • Korean claiming against Japan
    • I don't understand what this is. Call me stupid, but it doesn't look like an article to me. -- JeLuF
    • Because it makes no sense. There may be worthwhile information there, but it's hidden in a sea of poor English. Tokerboy
This page, now amusingly redirected to Korean anti-Japanism is about a real and ongoing dispute between Korea and Japan. (An American in Korea says, "You know you've been in Korea too long when you hate everyone Japanese for no apparent reason.") There are reasons though, mostly due to the colonial period that ended when WWII ended. This page makes perfect sense although it's entirely from one POV. Koreans want the "Sea of Japan" (European name for it but offensive to Koreans) to be renamed the "East Sea" (traditional Korean for it) in addition to all that Corea vs Korea cited in the article. I would like to see an article that discusses this topic. (Foreign relations of <Enter Country Here> seems to be the current venue, but some of these issues are issues of the people and not of the governments.) Neither of the titles so far used is NPOV, but they both indicate ongoing disputes between these countries. Arthur 00:38 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)
  • Deeper Than Schmigit and all related articles about band members and albumbs etc... "Deeper Than Schmigit" - produces no hits on google[1]. Even if they exist they are not worthy of an article here. Mintguy
  • cargo cult business, cargo cult investment, musical chair finance and founder's fever
    • can find no reference to these terms on Google. Mintguy 03:06 Feb 17, 2003 (UTC)
    • all four appear to be bogus terms made up by the anonymous contributor Mintguy
    • I'm not sure that I've heard any of these terms before either (though founder's fever rings a faint bell), but these terms are very apt for the business concepts they describe. If these concepts don't have a name, these are good ones. Stephen C. Carlson
    • Wikipedia is not a place to coin new terms for existing concepts however apt they may be, if no one actually uses them they are non-encylopaedic. Mintguy 01:12 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
  • "passage meditation" and Eknath Easwaran
    • Contained copied and pasted information without wikis, or any special tags at all. -- Goatasaur
      • Deleted the meditation one already: extensive book excerpt, blatant copyright violation, not an article, and with Microsoft's stupid "smart quotes" embedded in link. Will now look at the other one. Koyaanis Qatsi
      • The Eknath Easwaran one was a slack-jawed appreciation of the man, but *could* potentially be an article at that title. Currently, it's just a POV copyright violation. Koyaanis Qatsi 01:52 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
  • Jamnalal Bajaj Institute Of Management Studies,JBIMS and Philosophy of social sciences
    • Former is junk title, latter is a junk entry. -- Goatasaur 18:11 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
    • The JBIMS article should be okay. A bad title is not sufficient reason to request deletion: there is a "Move this page" option on every page. -- Oliver P. 18:53 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
      • I am aware of that, but why bother? The page was created less than a day ago, and the title *looks* bad; it's not an encyclopedic entry. Camelcase entries are being removed, so why not horribly garbled titles? -- Goatasaur 19:58 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)
        • It's an encyclopaedic entry which formerly had a bad title. It's now been moved to a more sensible title. The destruction of CamelCase is deletion of redirects, not articles. There is no need to delete an article just because it is titled badly. -- Oliver P. 20:05 Feb 18, 2003 (UTC)


  • image:Peter1tiara.jpg please delete. I downloaded it having been assured it was not copyrighted. However there is a question-mark over whether someone does own copyright. To be safe I have removed it from the article and replaced it with a new image. This can be deleted. JTD 07:03 Feb 19, 2003 (UTC)
Not rants, nor heavily POV. These are useful entries on interesting terms (just like East-Coast liberal). They do need watching to stay good entries, but that doesn't mean they should go. --The Cunctator
  • Woodstock Weather
    • Interesting, but not encyclopedic. Maybe it should be moved to Project Sourceberg or something. Tuf-Kat


  • 'Anti-Pope' Gregory XVII
  • Anti-Pope Gregory XVII Please remove these two. Made a balls of doing re-directs. (That's the last time I'll try doing redirects when this tired!!!) No links, and proper redirects in place so these can be safely and enthusiastically zapped to oblivion. JTD 07:25 Feb 20, 2003 (UTC)
    • redirected - no need to delete these Martin
    • we already have Antipope Gregory XVII as a redirect. Do we need to keep 3 versions, two of them spelt wrong? JTD 00:52 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
    • There's no reason not to - if they've been spelled incorrectly once, they can be spelled incorrectly again. Here's a possible scenario: 1) we delete Anti-Pope Gregory XVII; 2) somebody makes a (misspelled) link to Anti-Pope Gregory XVII in an article; 3) somebody sees that link, sees there's no article there, and so starts it. And, voila, we've got two articles on the same thing. Better to keep the redirect. --Camembert 01:00 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)


  • Image:BApics.bmp unlinked pictures of a handful of girls.. Seems irrelevant to everything. -- SGB


  • Hons Florine I misspelled "Hans" resulting in this erroneous page.


    • wikipedia policy is not to delete these pages, but to redirect them, which I've done. Martin
No, we do have a policy of keeping pages with common misspellings, but if the misspelling is not common and just caused by a typo it's OK to delete. This misspelt title is of no conceivable use to anyone. Enchanter
  • [[What_can_be_learnt_from_Thomson_%26_Thompson%92s_costumes%3F]] What is this? -- SGB


  • East-coast liberal -- Possibly this just needs attention instead, but it looks irredeemable to me -- sannse 22:36 Feb 22, 2003 (UTC)
  • Katie McCaskey, Sugarducky and Retro martini glasses. These are all advertisements and self puffery. -- Zoe
    • Agreed -- Tarquin 11:02 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)
    • Ms. McCaskey decided to send me abusive email. Obviously she's not here to be cooperative. It's time to take her advertisements down. -- Zoe
  • Narcoterrorism the whole thing says :Is the major terrorism in Colombia, related with narcotic drugs and thats it. Maybe it needs more work.

These images are all resizings of pictures which are also on wikipedia and have been made opsolete by superior resizings (see my talk page for details on why resizing was done - if you're interested that is): (the superior ones have a 'U' infront of them and the first two letters capitalised (except for the first one)) --snoyes 04:34 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

Please, when replacing an image, just upload the new one with the same name as the original one. This way the revision history stays usable. You don't write a new article if you find a mistake in another article and request the deletion of the original article afterwards, do you? -- JeLuF 21:17 Feb 23, 2003 (UTC)

Note: people misunderstand the difference between tribute pages and Wikipedia pages. The tribute pages are where people can put in personal comments. The Wikipedia pages are for biographical content.--The Cunctator

(among others) If we're going to allow stuff like this, we may as well go the whole hog and import electoral registers directly into the 'pedia. - Khendon 12:15 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

I Agree - the S11 victim stuff is tasteless and pointless
These entries have more information and detail than exist in electoral registers. --The Cunctator


They are neither tasteless nor pointless, but they are not encyclopedic. They should be transferred to http://sep11.wikipedia.org/ before being deleted here. The Anome 12:47 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

I think it might be considered tasteless in that we don't highlight the victims of other terrorist incidents, the bomb in Bali springs to mind, or perhaps a different kind of incident on a similar scale the victims of the Titanic disaster, unless noteworthy for other reasons. Mintguy
Who's "we"? There's nothing stopping you from writing up such entries on the victims of the Titanic disaster, or the bomb in Bali springs. This is a specious argument.--The Cunctator
There is a much more complete listing of people who might need to be moved here: Talk:September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack/Memorial wiki pages Martin


Can someone delete Hirohito to rename the article to Hirohito? -- Taku 21:22 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

AIDS Kills Fags Dead -- subject covered on hate speech, inherently inflamatory title should be deleted. -- Infrogmation 23:20 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

The information contained in that article was removed rather than moved to hate speech. It is not covered anywhere right now. It should either be moved to hate speech, or a better article title should be found. Are quotes around the phrase acceptible? AxelBoldt 23:27 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)
I had already moved it, but an anonymous user reverted the move. --Eloquence 23:34 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)
I've reverted to your version. (That's until our anonymous user decides to revert things yet again!) JTD 23:54 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)
Ok, if it fits better at hate speech, that's fine with me. AxelBoldt 23:41 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)
Duh, Axel. Quite unprofessional. -'Vert
This article is fine. It's unsavory, but properly named and well-written. --The Cunctator

Delete Hirohito to rename the article Emperor Showa of Japan to Hirohito and image:Hirohito.png, which has become an orphan. Thanks. -Takuya

Takuya, first of all, copy the style so make link to page you talk about. OK?? - leave Alone! Second. This isnt a candidate for deletion - just a redirect... no big deal... -'Vert

Huh? I can't move the article to rename it because there is already Hirohito and in my understanding there is no objection to rename the article Emperor Showa of Japan to Hirohito. Besides, the title of article is a big deal. -- Taku 07:29 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)

Hi Taku, your move worked fine, the article is now at Hirohito and Emperor Showa of Japan is just a redirect. I think you were confused by the redirect and 'Vert was confused because the pages are as you want them already (unless I've missed the point of course :) -- sannse 08:36 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)
  • MikePeck now empty, used to contain " ilike to eat eat eat apples and bananas..." -- SGB
  • Canada State says, in full, "Do you hate Canada: A: Yes B: Yes"
  • Canadian_State says, in full, "The nation of Canada consists of states and territories," which is false; the article is otherwise useless. Montréalais 18:36 Feb 25, 2003 (UTC)
Delete. Since reversion of a vandalized page, no pages link to it. -- Infrogmation
  • ECO
    • Content: "Economic Cooperation Organization No. 1 Goulbou Alley, Kamraniyeh, P.O. Box 14155-6176, Teheran, Iran Islamic Republic" --Eloquence
  • Austrailian_LUGs is a misspelling, the author already copied contents to Australian_LUGs --Tzuhou 19:51 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep respellings, redirected to target article - see policy (top of this page)
  • Frauenkirche is just blabber. -- Goatasaur 22:46 Feb 26, 2003 (UTC)
    • I've put something a bit more sensible there. The second paragraph is directly copied from here[2] - I haven't done this sort of thing before, but I have heard rumours that unless they specify otherwise, US government (".gov") webapges are in the public domain. Please let me know whether I've understood this correctly or not, so that I know for future reference! -- Oliver P. 17:07 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
  • Go Me
    • is vandalismo -&#35918&#30505
      • It's actually for some no-name band. See their other entries below.
It's a children's book by Dav Pilkey. These are very popular with the youth of today. --Two Halves not at home right now
now a legit article, could be removed from this list. Nevilley 18:35 Feb 28, 2003 (UTC)
  • Dinah Webster
    • regardless of sep11 special pleading, I'm pretty sure we have a policy on deleting zero content articles. Text of article "This article was moved to m:Dinah Webster". Text of meta-article "A victim of the September 11, 2001 Terrorist Attack". Martin
