    • Pulling out of the above silliness to say... now a disambig page. Keep. Martin 19:44, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)

Can some administrator please act on this? I think the consensus is pretty clear: do not delete RST, but delete the others. Note that the text has been removed from several of the above articles, but the articles are still there. Daniel Quinlan 01:28, Aug 9, 2003 (UTC)
Keep all:
  1. Keep despite RST itself being patent nonsense, rationale at Talk:RST. Kat 18:50, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  2. Keep all, but revise, consolidate, edit as appropriate. Those who vote for deletion should do so based on Wikipedia policy, not the scientific prejudice expressed by opponents. Please see rationale at Talk:RST before you vote, or if you voted without giving due diligence to the issue. Doug 14:50, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • The rationale for deletion of the articles is based on Wikipedia policy and not some conspiracy of scientific prejudice. I have provided an explanation on the talk page (although Doug has long since outvolumed anyone who disagrees with him). Daniel Quinlan 16:23, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
  • Outvolumed? I have been actively trying to engage the issue, now this is also frowned upon? I have also voluntarily deleted the text of three articles trying to work this out with you Dan, is there some sort of problem with that too? -- Doug 18:48, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Removing the text is non-optimal. The articles still show up in the index, some articles may still be linked to them (and links look okay despite going to empty articles), etc.
Delete all:
  1. Daniel Quinlan wants all deleted: "Reciprocal System of Theory" has only 258 hits on Google, #1 is Wikipedia.
Keep main, delete rest:
  1. Stan recommended deletion of all but the main article.
  2. Robert Merkel recommended deletion of all but one article.
  3. User:Tim Starling -- keep the main article
  4. M123 all but one article should be deleted, the remaining article should be shorter and factual; wikipedia is not free webspace to lobby for a cause (as far as I know)
  5. Tb thinks there could be one RST page; the others should go. Especially things like Scalar motion and Gravitational motion which are likely to be very confusing to people who don't know it's all bunkum.
  6. Someone else - delete all articles but one, and be sure that one is clearly labeled with the NPOV equivalent of hooey. -- Someone else 07:08, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)
  7. Jwrosenzweig - keep the main article, delete the rest. The main article, once it's corrected for NPOV and has a good "critics of RST" section added, will be a nice way of demonstrating this particular belief for what it is--ambitious but scientifically unsound.
  8. Jake Nelson - Keep the main, delete the rest.
  9. Eloquence - Keep main, delete rest.
  10. mav - Keep the main RST article (in the shorter form Tim worked on), delete the rest
Other opinions and non-votes:
  1. Vicki Rosenzweig previously recommended deletion of Scalar motion, no opinion expressed on the others
  2. Marshman 18:43, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC) - Best way to cover these is to provide debunking information
  3. I have deleted the text of the Scalar Motion and Gravitational Motion articles, so they can be deleted without further ado. If you want to delete the whole shebang, please feel free to do so. I don't care anymore. Doug 16:48, 30 Jul 2003 (UTC)

  • Common whipping - copyvio? -- Jake 09:09, 2003 Jul 31 (UTC)
    • Is it? It could be a copyvio from the reference, but that could also be just provided as an additional reference. I'll ask on the talk page of the non-anon user who last edited it. --Delirium 00:14, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
  • Talk:Mercury - this whole discussion has been superceded by the Big Software change, and actually goes counter to the example for Mercury given in Wikipedia:Disambiguation. I particularly want it removed because it has lots of now redundant links, which caused lots of now redundant redirection pages which I am trying to clean up and get rid of (see above about Planet Mercury etc)RB-Ex-MrPolo 16:47, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
    • There is no reason to get rid of redirects. Search engines still have the redirects indexed. It would be very unprofessional to deliver a There is currently no text in this page-text to a user that just found us on google. -- JeLuF 08:46, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Blanking the page is better than deleting it, IMO. Andre Engels 12:22, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • KRYPTON programming language - old redirect page, nothing linked to it. Superceded by KRYPTON (programming language) and Krypton disambiguation page.RB-Ex-MrPolo 19:46, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
    • Read the above policy please. Redirects are fine and should be kept and Krypton is an article. --mav 20:10, 31 Jul 2003 (UTC)
    • I have read both the deletion and dismabiguation policies and examples, and the changes I made are entrirely in line with those policies. There was no one meaning of Krypton that that stood out as a dominant meaning, hence the dismbiguation. Krypton is now a disambiguation page, with three sub-pages pointed to - KRYPTON (programming language), Krypton (element) and Krypton (planet). Putting brackets around the clarifiers is the standard method, so I effected a rename of KRYPTON programming language to KRYPTON(programming language). No content was changed or deleted. All links to these pages were cleaned up. So, what is the problem ?RB-Ex-MrPolo 16:39, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • The page KRYPTON programming language used to be the home of the article for about a year - it has been indexed and bookmarked by an unknown but probably large number of people. It stays. Furthermore it should be moved back to KRYPTON since neither the element or the planet are ever written as an acronym. I've already moved the element back and created a disambiguation block - my reasoning is on that article's talk page. --mav

  • Excelsier -- It looks like a dictionary definitions, and it's listed on things to be moved to wikitionary, but why move this anywhere? It's not in the Oxford English Dictionary, it's not in Merriam-Webster's 11th Collegiate Dictionary, it looks like it's a misspelling of excelsior with a made-up definition. I'm listing it on VfD. -- Someone else 06:14, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • All of its Google hits (which again reminded me of many people's poor spelling) are typos for excelsior. Delete. -- Jake 12:02, 2003 Aug 3 (UTC)
    • Redirected to correct spelling. Keep redirect. Martin
  • User:Amntony is uploading images and HTML. His user page states I have difficulty getting a "free" homepage on the net! So I figure out this might be a nice place for my "little" htmls. His contributions so far include;
    .... [snip talk] ....
    • I have just deleted these and numerous others. No need for a VfD wait: Wikipedia is not a free web-hosting service. If we let this happen, freeloaders will descend on us in large numbers once they realise it is possible. Perhaps we should disallow .html / .htm as uploaded file extensions. -- The Anome 00:09, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • Agreed, .htm as a file extension draws nothing but problem. --Menchi 00:34, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
  • Copyright violations? These seem to be lifted straight off websites (the "top" tag gives it away) I'm not sure, maybe someone else can check it out

Tricyclics are also cut-and-paste from healthyplace.com (which has an explicit copyright notice), I deleted those but without The Anome's neat paragraphs. I don't think this user has done anything other than cut-and-pastes of copyrighted material. Vicki Rosenzweig 23:50, 1 Aug 2003 (UTC)

  • Bullet Records, Blue Amberol Records, Blue Amberol Records Part 2, Black & White Records, Black & White Records Part 2 - catalogs of various record companies. unencyclopedic. - Efghij 02:52, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not paper; in cases of historic labels where it is clearly not advertising, I don't object to having such lists of minutia if someone wishes to take the trouble to make them. I don't feel particularly strongly about this, but I don't see any particular need to delete. -- Infrogmation 18:37, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I entered these lists. The information is not available elsewhere on the internet. However the Blue Amberol label is covered more completely in book form and I would not mind if it was deleted. With Bullet and Black and White, I am hoping that collectors will help fill the gaps. JohnRogers


  • Stile Project advertising jimfbleak 06:34, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I think it could have some encyclopedic value. It is linked to in Shock site. What do others think?
      • Should get more info in the article. Stile Project is infamous, and is most certainly due mention in any encyclopedia that has discussion of shock sites and the evolution of the 'net. -- Jake 12:06, 2003 Aug 3 (UTC)
    • irrelevant. Wikipedia is not Yahoo. Kosebamse 13:07, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Should stay. Actually was nominated for a Webby award, which gives it some level of credibility and worthiness. SpeakerFTD 02:57, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Dissident - dictionary definition (and not even a very good one). --Delirium 18:11, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • fixed it up somewhat, still needs more content, however - SimonP 19:19, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • This will be a super article. Do not delete. See Talk:Dissident. Rednblu 09:39, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • After SimonP's edit it's stubby, but not worse so than many others we don't consider deleting. Keep. Andre Engels 12:32, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Lafontaine - a diambig page for the surname "Lafontaine" -- I don't think we should start to create diambig lists for surnames. -- till we *) 18:50, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • I created the page, mostly because it was listed on the requested pages. I think it has for a long time been wikipedia practice, if not policy, to make disambig pages for commonly linked to surnames. e.g. we already have ones like Wesley, Strauss, Schumann, Russell, and Scarlatti, and other pages like Baker and Miller that are mostly lists of people with the surname. - SimonP 19:19, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
    • It's fine as disamb. Quite useful. Sometimes ppl just know of a famous person by their surname (Shakespeare). --Menchi 21:06, Aug 2, 2003 (UTC)
      • I'd keep it. -- Jake 12:06, 2003 Aug 3 (UTC)
  • International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships. This article has been here for some time, but it doesn't seem particularly encyclopedic. RickK 19:58, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I agree that's it's not encylopedic, however it does contain some useful info. If anyone wants to expand it into a proper stub in the future, trhat info would be useful. The article needs to rewritten as a poroper stub not deleted Theresa knott 20:54, 2 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • There are similar other imports from the CIA Factbook, some wikified, check Environmental agreements -- User:Docu

August 3

  • Battle of Fort Steadman. Angela 04:49, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I noticed that it contained a slight distortion of facts: Lee defeating Grant and imposing 20000 casualties... I tried to rewrite and make it a stub but American history is not my speciality. Muriel Gottrop 07:09, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • This article is a bit worrying, I think it might be better to just delete it and let someone else start over ... unless someone really wants to check over all of the facts in detail. Daniel Quinlan 09:08, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • fuzzy math and there you go again. Just two phrases by two presidents of USA. Delete or group it under one related articles. --Wshun
    • Del. --Menchi 07:23, Aug 3, 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Daniel Quinlan 09:08, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • But see this article, for instance. I think "fuzzy math" has an existence beyond its "presidential" one. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:26, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • It is simply poor math that many feels fuzzy. Not really of historial importance on its own. Delete! --wshun 00:27, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Chadloder 06:14, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
  • Microsoft.com
    • weird artistic critique of Microsoft's website; seems to have been added to "prove" a point. I wish people would stop doing that... -- Stephen Gilbert 08:29, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • agreed, seems fixed now with a redirect Daniel Quinlan 09:08, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Fumocy - seems to be some obscure person's personal idea, introduced on a mailing list in October 2002.
    • Delete, original research by obscure person. Daniel Quinlan 09:25, Aug 3, 2003 (UTC)
  • Isoroku Yamamoto's sleeping giant quote - somewhat unverifiable analysis, this is interesting research into the veracity of the quote, but it seems to be more appropriate as the beginning of a snopes.com piece rather than a Wikipedia article. Daniel Quinlan 09:47, Aug 3, 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Internalblades.PNG - image is irrelevant; not in use and only applicable to the Tesla turbine article; another superior gaphic of the telsa turbine is being used there now. reddi 14:22, 3 Aug 2003 (UTC)

August 4

  • Surrealist Subversions - A stubby book review. Kat 00:53, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • 60% of that page is a contributor list..... --Menchi 01:10, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • It being a stub is no reason to delete it (stubs often turn into better things), nor is the fact that it's an article about a book. The contributors list seems an obvious thing to include in an article about a book with multiple authors. Looks like a reasonable article to me. --Camembert
    • I think it gets deleted because an encyclopedia article doesn't really add anything here: the book is not influential, hard to find, and doesn't have much to reason to exist as an article other than the fact that one of the book's contributors created the article, seemingly to promote it/himself. Daniel Quinlan 09:01, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
      • That you are going to the length of suggesting that Surrealist Subversions be deleted shows a possible bias against surrealism, or at least the not-officially-approved surrealism that has fluorished in the United States since 1966. And others are even suggesting that Franklin Rosemont be deleted! Is it going to be the official policy of Wikipedia that The Surrealist Movement in the United States (this article is currently a POV rant with far-out and inaccurate ideas such as that surrealism is not connected to automatism) is going to be ignored? --Daniel C. Boyer 14:18, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • We have articles on lots of obscure topics - it's one of the Wikipedia's strengths. We shouldn't judge the worth of articles based on who created them. There's nothing wrong with this article. --Camembert
    • I agree with Camembert. Cyan 00:45, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • VOD - copyvio. --Delirium 09:29, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
    • and a duplicate, too; now redirected to "video on demand". The user who created "VOD" is a recent anon user, 61.214.131.46 -- can someone please check out their other 10 or so contributions for copyvios, please, I've got to go to work. -- The Anome 09:35, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • That was the only new article they created. The rest were minor additions or modifications to existing pages that all seem okay. --Delirium 09:43, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Panatom - minor web-design firm; little information in the one-sentence article, and not many google hits. --Delirium 17:23, Aug 4, 2003 (UTC)
  • Tourism in Canada - only a listing of Canada's provinces and territories, nothing on tourism. -- JeLuF 19:44, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
The page should be deleted, definitely. Marshallharsh 20:06, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Louvois - inappropriate redirect. Louvois is also a Communes of the Marne district. -- JeLuF 20:27, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • The redirect to François Michel le Tellier, marquis de Louvois is not necessarily inappropriate. A Google search for "Louvois" yields many links to pages about the Marquis de Louvois (some of which refer to him only as Louvois) and almost none about the Commune of Louvois, which is a village of less than 400 people.[2] Chances are that someone looking for an article about Louvois is looking for the person rather than the place. -- Cjmnyc 05:47, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • At any rate turning it into a disambig is much preferable to deletion. - Hephaestos 05:48, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I agree with Hephaestos. --Daniel C. Boyer 20:26, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Nneuhs - advertising. - Hephaestos 21:23, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Just delete it. --Menchi 02:32, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)
    • Please zap this. Totally NPOV advert Tompagenet 16:02, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Tulum - possible copyright infringement. == sannse 21:28, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • User:Bloodwitch - content by anonymous IP is apparently the result of a mistake and has been copied elsewhere (in Talk:Cate Tiernan), user Bloodwitch's contributions list is empty so that user probably doesn't even exist. An admin should check that before deletion. --FvdP 23:35, 4 Aug 2003 (UTC)

August 5

  • Charles Butch Watson. Currently blank, this article has been edited off and on for several days now by several anonymous users. RickK 02:44, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I'd say keep that one. Redirects that cover up for misspellings are always good; I've got a friend who's a legasthenic (and a math student) and greatly appreciates things like this. -- Schnee 21:27, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
Please keep it! I have a friend too... Well, no. It is I who have trouble spelling the name proprely. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick
  • Provenance - dictionary definition, and a copyright violation. --Delirium 03:31, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)
Agree on the dictionary aspect. --Chadloder 03:30, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Ifraa - had reconsidered and do not wish to have content here.
  • Theatre troupe, copyright viol and content not encyclopedic even if the anon user holds the copyright.


  • Xine is a straight copy of http://xinehq.de/index.php/about Even if it's not a copyvio, we don't need it here. Someone could write a reasonable stub on this, rather than a plug for Xine, or it can go. Vicki Rosenzweig 16:29, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Done; it's now a stub. -- Merphant 23:13, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)


  • Jimmy Somerville - I'm not sure what's the status of this. G-man blanked it out for copyvio so I inserted the boilerplate text. The discussion page implies that it wasn't cleared, but Mav restored it several months ago citing it was. --Jiang 21:47, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I've completely re-written it anyway, no need to delete G-Man 22:22, 5 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Jen Besemer - Only 2 websites link to her personal webpage. Only her site and this site mention Last Sun (see search results). Same with The Year of Wood. Same with What is Born except one more site (a review site) mentions it. This review site in itself is not very popular (only 32 results from google search). Based on all of this, and it's stub quality (it will never be more than a stub), I vote for deletion. MB 22:07, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)
etc.
--Daniel C. Boyer 19:24, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
I've had a look through the above links, and I feel they do not, in and of themselves, justify the presence of Ronnie Burk in Wikipedia. A tribute page really ought to contain more information, so unless this article gets some more content in the near future, (and Boyer, you're probably the only one who cares enough to do so,) I vote for deletion. Cyan 22:22, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Charles Radcliffe - Search for his name "Charles Jeremy St John Radcliffe" returns no results. There are a total of 17 mentions of the magazine he edited, "Heatwave". 7 results when search for references concering him and his citation in On the Poverty of Student Life. Only 24 mentions of him regarding surrealism (compaired to around 257,000 results when searching for surrealism). Search for articles relating him to the friends magazine returns 1 result. This will never be more than a stub. MB 22:27, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)
  • Dan Georgiakis - Search for "Dan Georgiakis" returns only 9 results. This will never be more than a stub. MB 23:09, Aug 5, 2003 (UTC)

  • Elizabeth Ford. The page itself said it was copied from http://www.ford.utexas.edu/grf/bbfbio.htm. RickK 03:29, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Which on the website of the Gerald R. Ford Library and Museum and is operated by the National Archives and Records Administration. Which is a US Federal agency so the material produced by them should be in the public domain. So it probably isn't a copyright violation. -- Popsracer 05:27, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • I placed an article at Betty Ford which does not use any copied material, and redirected Elizabeth Ford to there. Amusingly, the "official" web-site version doesn't mention her first marriage..... -- Someone else 06:16, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • global - basically an overly long dictionary entry. This entry will always be about the word itself, rather than about something more worthy of an encyclopedia article like globalization. Chadloder 03:34, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • The Russian-American Company - copyright infringement. I have contacted the author of the website from which the text was lifted. In the meantime the page has been noted and the text moved to the talk page. Chadloder 03:50, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Padania - copyright infringement. I have contacted the author of the website from which the text was lifted. In the meantime the page has been noted and the text moved to the talk page. Chadloder 03:50, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)


  • List of Commissioners of the British Antartic Territory - I moved it to the correct spelling of Antarctic, and changed the links to it. I don't think it's significant enough for a redirect. -- Jake 06:00, 2003 Aug 6 (UTC)
    • Well I don't think it's significant enough for a VFD entry. Every time someone edits this page it's another 50 KB of disk space used up. We have a policy to keep spelling error redirects. -- Tim Starling 06:05, Aug 6, 2003 (UTC)
      • I made a suggestion about this in the Talk Page Muriel Gottrop 06:29, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Anax Imperator - article is written by a band member and is fairly self-promotional, and not encyclopedic in tone or content. It's written as an essay and appears to be taken mostly from their website. Could be written from a NPOV, but it would probably need to be written from scratch. -- Lexor 11:24, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)


  • Yde Venema - University instructor. A vanitypage perhaps? -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick
    • Looks like to me. I'd say delete it. -- Schnee 14:50, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Moved from below, another request for deletion: bio of a university instructor. Angela 01:10, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)

  • Acornford
    • Original text was "English translation of [[Eckernförde]]"; this is a literal translation only, that is (to the best of my knowledge) never used and apparently originated in the phantasy of the article's editor. -- Cordyph 16:46, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Google gives about 21 results for "Acornford", none of which seem to be related to the city of Eckernförde in any way. Unless there are objections, I would suggest deleting the current (redirect) page as well. -- Schnee 17:19, 6 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • dsDNA -- content would be more appropriate in DNA, and so I moved it there -- only one page linked to it, until I orphaned it -- article doesn't appear to have any potential for growth

  • Anti-Christian calendar theory -- seems to be more someone's personal opinion than anything else. Does not cite any actual references or examples for this "theory". While criticisms of the CE notation may exist, these should be covered in the article about Common Era and not under some idiosyncratic headline.—Eloquence 00:24, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)

    • The phrase is probably well enough known to warrent a (short) article, but this one is pretentious. I'll write a short less pretentious one. DJ Clayworth 21:51, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Save from deletion. I have a picture somewhere. Mintguy 11:47, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Open chain, Aliphatic hydrocarbon - dictionary entries. -- Schnee 15:20, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • These are chemistry definitions, so I would think they belong in an encyclopedia rather than a dictionary. Or maybe a textbook would be even better? MB 17:41, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
    • Group short chemistry definitions into one article. -- wshun 18:17, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • Sounds like a good idea to me. There's already pages like Glossary of ring theory, so why not something like "Glossary of chemical terms", "Glossary of organic chemistry" or something similar? -- Schnee 18:21, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Karass - in bad need of rewriting; I think the current article is not acceptable. -- Schnee 18:46, 7 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Christian Boyer, John Boyer -- people who seem to have nothing encyclopedic about them beyond having lived in the 19th century. Added by User:Mbecker, presumably to prove some sort of a point as part of the ongoing Daniel C. Boyer dispute. --Delirium 20:31, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
    • They are relevant to my re-write of Daniel C. Boyer, and are no worse than the old Daniel C. Boyer entry. I find this Daniel C. Boyer much more interesting, and he has some historical significance as opposed to the user Daniel C. Boyer. MB 21:13, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
      • I fail to see the historical significance of "lived in the 19th century and bought some land." It is clear you're adding these solely because their last name is "Boyer" as part of a dispute over that article, not of their own merits. Please stop editing the Wikipedia in bad faith. --Delirium 21:27, Aug 7, 2003 (UTC)
    • The publicity stunts in this debate are getting a bit silly. Delete. -- Tim Starling 00:32, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
    • Looks a bit like Kepple Disney II to me, and that article and all the other Disneys have survived. --KF 00:43, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)

  • Sean Healy
    • Created recently by Ed Poor, containing only "Sean Healy thinks the US refuses to support the ICC because it wants to reserve the right to commit war crimes." -- Tim Starling 12:09, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
  • Telpuilgoc This seems to describe an artificial language. The creator is anonymous, and Google returns no hits. The one external link is a very brief description with what seems to be an unnecessary number of Star Wars references. DJ Clayworth 15:39, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Christian Schmitz -- content: "not a patriotic american" -- till we *) 19:52, Aug 8, 2003 (UTC)
    • Now been updated to claim he's a philosopher, yet "Christian Schmitz" philosopher brings up only 3 Google hits. Delete. Evercat 20:09, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. --Menchi 02:23, Aug 9, 2003 (UTC)
  • Frank Damek -- article I created when I was a noobie, he is a real person and it really happened but not worth an aritlce on him. -fonzy
  • Olin Honor Code - I wonder if this is a copyright violation. It also isn't really in a form of an encyclopedia entry, so I'm not really excited about it. Thoughts? -- Dwheeler 22:51, 8 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Stephen Schneider -- Crank article. Exists only to disparage subject, who has apparently dissed somebody's guru. Contains almost no information about subject's life and work.
  • Life of Prophet Muhammad - Wikipedia should have an article on this book, however this contains only an outside link. - Efghij 03:32, 9 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I moved the link to Muhammad and changed this to a redirect. --Jiang
