Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004
If you were looking for an article on the abbreviation "VFD", please see VFD.
If the latest nominations appear to be missing from this page, please purge the cache.
Articles for Deletion (AfD) is where Wikipedians decide what should be done with an article. Items sent here usually wait seven days or so; afterward the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:
- Kept
- Deleted per the deletion policy
- Sent to cleanup
- Merged and/or redirected to an existing article
- Transwikied (moved to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, or Wiktionary)
Things to consider:
- It is important to read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy which states which problems form valid grounds for deletion before adding comments to this page.
- Use the "what links here" link which appears in the sidebar of the actual article page, to get a sense how the page is being used and referenced within Wikipedia.
- Please familiarize yourself with some frequently cited guidelines, in particular WP:BIO, WP:FICT, WP:MUSIC and WP:COI.
AfD etiquette:
- Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
- Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~.
- If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
- Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith.
- Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.

Decisions in progress
Ongoing discussions
- All recipes proposed for deletion should be discussed at Talk:List of recipes/Delete (see also Wikien-l)
- Unsolved problems in biology See Talk:Unsolved problems in biology
- List of Europeans & List of EU people, see Talk:List of Europeans & Talk:List of EU people
- Add insult to injury : Deletion cannot be the right answer, as if the idiom content is removed it should simply be a redirect to the band, but that feels wrong too. Talk continues at Talk:Add insult to injury. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 09:14, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Images of Athens : Consensus is that the page should be deleted if and only if the missing images are not going to be restored. See talk. Pete/Pcb21 (talk) 09:19, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)
NOTE
The following votes are each taking place in their own MediaWiki space text. This is an experiment to try to cut down on edit conflicts and make maintenance easier. Thank you for your co-operation.

Orphan with no potential, and incomplete or false facts (I attended fourth grade in California and don't remember any such required project)--Woggly 21:32, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I also attended grade school in California... it certainly was a required project in the SF Bay Area... although I'm not 100% it was 4th grade. I can try to research further if no one else knows definitively. --Dante Alighieri | Talk 22:13, Apr 1, 2004 (UTC)
- Well, I was in a Catholic school in Rancho Cucamonga, California, about 450 miles from the Bay Area, while in the fourth grade, and I remeber doing a project on Mission San Jose (my dad still has the model I built), so the project is real, and not just limited to public schools or Northern California. Gentgeen 23:02, 1 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I attended public school in California in the Sacramento Valley, and we were required to do a mission project. All 4th graders study California history that year, and the missions are a major part of it. Having said that, though, delete this. RickK | Talk 03:09, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)
- I didn't attend school in CA but would vote to keep this. It appears to be a real thing, fairly interesting, and potentially useful to someone doing research on school curriculae. Eventually I imagine a list of required school projects could be quite an interesting and useful thing. Jgm 03:31, 2 Apr 2004 (UTC)

Add new entries above
NOTE: The VfD page is currently experimenting with a new format to cut down on edit conflicts. To start a new VfD,
1. Edit this page and add a section to the bottom with
====[[Page name]]====
[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=MediaWiki:VfD-Page_name&action=edit add to this deletion debate]
{{msg:VfD-Page name}}
Note that the "page name" used in the MediaWiki line and the msg:VfD line can not have blanks or punctuation or slashes. It does not have to exactly match the actual page name.
2. Click through the new link and put your reason for deletion there.
Note: If this is too confusing, just list a page directly on VfD and someone else will fix the format for you.
This page is edited frequently. If you want to prevent edit conflicts, write your entry off-line first and then start a new section edit for this section in which you can copy/paste it.
