Hey, how do I get an article deleted? I've been retitling the "Middle Earth/xxx" articles to "xxx" or "xxx (Middle-earth)". This process leaves behind articles with no text to which nothing is linked. Ed Poor 05:42 Jul 23, 2002 (PDT)

The simplest way is to pick "vote for deletion", explain why (as above), and wait for a sysop to do it. On straightforward stuff like that, we're usually pretty quick to respond. Vicki Rosenzweig 05:44 Jul 23, 2002 (PDT)
Yes, in situations like this, people are pretty quick to respond — negatively. Pages like this that have been around for a while and have been indexed by search engines should be redirected, and will presumably remain redirects forever. See Wikipedia:Policy on permanent deletion of pages. BTW, you can't exactly "vote for deletion" under the Phase III software; you have to directly edit Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. — Toby 15:39 Jul 23, 2002 (PDT)
