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.

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.

    • 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
• UK general election/results
  • Orphan that I can't place with any other UK election page. Jeronimo
• Kids/Mercury_(planet)
  • Move to "Kiddipedia", meta, or delete? Orphan. Jeronimo
• Can time move backwards: Orphan, unclear what its point is, seems like something that would be on Everything2, not Wikipedia. --k.lee
  • Symmetry under time reversal is a serious topic, actively studied by physicists. The page is poorly written and contains no useful information, but it could theoretically be developed into a proper topic. -- Tim
  • Suggest merging with Time travel Chas zzz brown 20:57 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)
• ISO 8859-1/Scheme source
  • Irrelevant application code that was referenced by an earlier draft of its parent page, apparently just to advocate the Scheme programming language. Someone recently deorphaned it, but it should just go away. -- mjb 00:29 Oct 16, 2002 (UTC)
• Genocide denial
  • Not an article -- Zoe 01:42 Oct 18, 2002 (UTC)
• Israeli-Palestinian conflict (Current)
  • No content (even in history), Wikipedia is not CNN and very bad title (will date quickly). --mav
• Wikipedia:Sandbox/test
  • Contents: "dummy text" -- Ellmist Sunday, October 20th, 2002
• SITA
  • Ad. Don't forget to nuke the talk page too. Give the author a week to respond though. --mav 23:53 Oct 20, 2002 (UTC)
• Intuitive truth
  • Talk, but no contents. Jeronimo
• Christianity - Trinitarianism vs. Oneness
  • Talk, but no contents. Jeronimo

• Bibb City, Georgia, Hephzibah, Georgia, Clermont, Indiana, Crows Nest, Indiana, Homecroft, Indiana, Meridian Hills, Indiana, North Crows Nest, Indiana, Rocky Ripple, Indiana, Spring Hill, Indiana, Warren Park, Indiana, Williams Creek, Indiana, Wynnedale, Indiana,
  • These will eventually be a disambiguation page, but for now I do not know the other city names. The data already exists on a different disambiguated page so that the data is duplicated. It is not just a matter of redirecting it now because when I come to creating the disambiguation pages, this one will be skipped if it already exists (making it harder on me!).

• A day in the life of an ordinary Canadian
  • Non-encyclopedic to the extreme Tokerboy 21:56 Oct 22, 2002 (UTC)
    • I agree. Also, I've seen this floating around the Internet before, so it may be copyrighted. -- Zoe
      • This was written by me today and has never appeared on the Internet before. And, I think Ed Poor summed it up better than I could.....DW
        • Possibly amusing to a Canadian, but not an encyclopedia article by the longest stretch. DW: get your own web page and put it there. Ortolan88

  • Whoever voted to delete this, I agree. The article doesn't make sense, and there is no such word. -phma
• Image:Hilal.JPG and Image:MVC-002S.jpg
  • Both by Akhalil. Hilal is two flags, one having a crescent substituted for the six-pointed star; MVC-002S appear to be some sort of protest or demonstration. Both orphans. -phma 2002-10-25

• Tramp
  • Looks like crap to me. Jeronimo
    • It isn't crap. It is very, very short, but it makes the point that tramps were different from other travelling indigents. See the talk page for an attempt to inspire further effort. Ortolan88
• Image:Undergroundrailroadsmall.jpg - I put up a better version, so this one is just taking up space on the disk
  • You could have just replaced the old image by the new one (simply by giving the same name to the image). So no image would have to be deleted and the image history would reflect your changes. -- JeLuF

• USS Bon picked up from the broken redirects page. Currently redirects to the non-existent USS Bon Homme Richard. It was on the List of aircraft carriers where the person entering them on the retired carriers where the multipart names only showed showed the first part.
