Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below (or use the Vote feature) so an admin can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages. If the page should be deleted, an admin will, and the link removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, an admin will remove the link from this page. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of a week before a decision is made.

Also, check the What links here link. Many entries that seem not to belong in an encyclopedia, are linked from Sep 11, 2001 related pages.

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.

Please review Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages before adding to this page. In the past, about half of the titles added to this page were not 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 on this page that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called Hume can be easily and sensibly 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.

Discussion about the merits of deleting a page listed here should take place on wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion.

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 if from this list as well.

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
I didn't change anything!
- I think it's useless to have this kind of "articles" around in Wikipedia. Some phrases might be worthy of that ("Beam me up, Scotty"), but this sentence can be used in a thousand different configurations and isn't even really jargon. Oh, and it's an orphan, too. There could be an interesting text about the problem indicated by this sentence, but that should be at software engineering or so. Jeronimo
  - It's no longer an orphan. Gpietsch 15:25 Sep 23, 2002 (UTC)
Carol ??
- The wording of this article looks like a copyright violation. Has anyone access to the International Encyclopedia of Dance mentioned as source and can check this? -- JeLuF 20:24 Sep 23, 2002 (UTC)
  - Put copyright notice there. Jeronimo
Belief
- Contents moved to Talk by Larry for reworking, empty right now. Jeronimo
Offspring
- Copyright violation Jeronimo
  - Have replaced with a stub, and will add more later. --Sam 12:09 Sep 30, 2002 (UTC)
- Bad title too. Should be Offspring (band). I second the block. -phma
  - It's been moved to The Offspring. --Sam 12:09 Sep 30, 2002 (UTC)
Bad Religion
- Copyright violation Jeronimo
Curved Air
- Copyright violation Jeronimo - I blocked this user after three copyright violations within a few minutes.
Manifest Destiny
- Copyright violation (see talk). Jeronimo -- I want to give Bryce some time to rectify the situation before we take the step of deleting it outright. --LDC
Moshe Dayan
- Apparent copyright violation?
Bruce Cockburn
- Copyright violation. Jeronimo
- no longer a copyright violation - already fixed.
Eric Hoffman
- Not-even-user page
Clara Thrupp
- I don't know where the line is for being famous enough to have a page on Wikipedia, but if she is above it, it's awfully low Andre Engels 17:25 Sep 26, 2002 (UTC)
- The problem isn't one of fame, it's of useful information. The entry doesn't have any helpful info.
Vitamin E familial isolated, deficiency of -- copyright violation -- JeLuF 07:52 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Wikipedia arranged by topic
- Just a list of some topics without any obvious connection between them Andre Engels 10:24 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
  - What purpose would deleting it serve? Note also the talk page; may have historical/meta interest. --Brion 11:02 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
Drexel_Shaft
- NPOV? How do you mean, NPOV? Andre Engels 17:48 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
Bonneville Apartments
- Of no encyclopedic importance -- Zoe 22:16 Sep 27, 2002 (UTC)
Loyda Morales
- No encyclopedic importance --AN 03:02 Sep 28, 2002 (UTC)
- Not so! If Morales really were the prettiest girl in Puerto Rico, that information would certainly be of "encyclopedia importance". The problem with the article is a near-total lack of verifiability/falsifiability. --The Cunctator
Morals or Ethics
- Just as link to meta. Talk page moved too. --mav
Benjamin Anker
- Probably a personal page (the whisk(e)y bit is a giveaway), have never heard of this guy and Google only finds other Benjamin Ankers. Jeronimo
Anarcosocial-communism
- (Misspelt) weirdness; all the content on this page is already in the meta at m:anarcosocial-communist Bth
- Also, "anarcosocial-communism" is not explained in any way, and from the name I would guess that it is the same as libertarian socialism, which is a broad title and an in-depth article. -- Sam
Teunis de Wit
- Another personal page? Orphan. Jeronimo
T Bone Burnett
- Copyright violation. Jeronimo
- which has already been fixed - no need to delete
Berger Roy Al
- Copyright violation. Jeronimo
Beloit College
- Possible copyright violation. Still waiting for a response from a talk query. --mav
Kaspar Schlick
- Copyright violation, also in German language. Jeronimo
Ani Yuntikwalaski
- Connection between title and text is unclear. Also strongly POV. Andre Engels 19:00 Sep 29, 2002 (UTC)
You have two cows
- Chain e-mail jokes, not an encyclopedia topic. Nate Silva 19:24 Sep 29, 2002 (UTC)
- I disagree. I think it is a good example of the internet culture. If we had too many of those, ok. But is just that one (and maybe a few others i haven't seen.--AN 19:50 Sep 29, 2002 (UTC)
- If it's an example of Internet culture, then, great, it should be attached as such, not as a free- standing entry.David de Paoli
- This is a fine and relevant piece and an article which palpably demonstrates and links to many of the -isms on the display within it. user:sjc
- An article on this kind of jokes is fine, and one or two examples are also fine, but this many is useless. It is impossible to list all such jokes here, and unnecessary as well. The article should tell something about this kind of joke, its history, importance and give some examples and perhaps external links such that you can find more of them. Jeronimo

Drew Barrymore/Filmography
- An old stub sub-page. Contents have been boved to the main Drew Barrymore page which was also a stub. Recent practice has been to not set up sub-page for filmography.
- Please don't delete. The page is about 9 months old and will be indexed by google etc. I made it a redirect to Drew Barrymore. -- JeLuF
- So is is the main Drew Barrymore page. As long as the word filmography appears on that page that's as much as is needed. It's not the aim of this project to bow and scrape for every tiny scrap of recognition from Google. Eclecticology
- It is, however, in part the aim of this project to avoid disappointing newcomers and turning them off before they get started. Proposals have been floated in the past for a smarter 404 page (not that it's technically a 404 page, but you know what I mean). Until they're implemented, however, giving people the Drew Barrymore article is far preferable to giving them "(There is currently no text in this page)". — Toby 05:37 Sep 30, 2002 (UTC)
OsmosisTwo - empty page. daft title. there's loads of material in the version history, if it's any good it should eb merged into osmosis -- Tarquin 17:21 Sep 30, 2002 (UTC)
History of pi, History of Pi - blank, nothing links there; earlier revision is claimed to be a copyright violation --Brion 04:52 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
Bob Diamond
- Probably a user page Jeronimo 08:27 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
Self-starvation - Only content: tyujjj -- JeLuF 21:18 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
Fluoride -- Non-artilce -- JeLuF 21:18 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)~
Oliver Ellsworth -- non--article -- JeLuF 21:21 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
Burning
- I removed the only information that was in this article because it was wrong. -- Zoe
Ann Theresa de Keersmaker
- The article is empty -- Zoe 22:31 Oct 1, 2002 (UTC)
Antiwikipedic -- Silly dictionary entry. Is there any useful content here that might be salvaged? I don't see any. --LDC
- I don't see any either. The underlying assumption that any knowledge not (yet) part of Wikipedia is "anti", i e opposed, hostile to Wikipedia is complete nonsense and surely just a joke. KF
