Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below 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.

If the content of a paige-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 it 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
• History of Cologne
  • possible copyright violation (see Cologne/Talk). Nov 3, 2002.
• Image:Kon s.jpg xor Image:White horse thumbnail.jpg
  • They are identical. Kon s is used in the Polish article about kon; White horse thumbnail is used here in horse. -phma 2002-10-05
• Image:Enigma.png - This appears to be taken from www.gcsb.govt.nz/infhist.htm - according to their copyright disclaimer, the image can be used but the source and copyright status must be acknowledged.
• Go game demonstration
  • Good idea, but there is no game here, just the information on what game it is that is (not) shown
• Rush Limbaugh/Updates
  • No explanation as to what the article is supposed to be, and does not contain encyclopedic information. -- Zoe
  • Yes it does. It's describing the various "updates" that Rush Limbaugh does on his radio show.
• Saturday Night
  • possible copyright infringement -- JeLuF 21:57 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)
• University_of_Central_Florida
  • Possible copyright infringement -- Dec 5, 2002
• Powered exoskeleton
  • Possible copyright infringement -- The Anome 23:25 Dec 5, 2002 (UTC)
• Grain of salt
  • A brief explanation of the English idiom "to take with a grain of salt". Wikipedia should not have articles on individual idioms, even though it might be worthwhile to start an article "English idioms" to parallel English proverbs. --Ryguasu
• Grain of salt/Poetic interpretations and Grain of salt (philosophical interpretations)
  • Both are redirects to User:Stevertigo/Grain of salt (philosophical interpretations), which contains some interesting but non-encyclopedic speculation about the "grain of salt" idiom --Ryguasu
  • Wikipedia certainly should have articles on some individual idioms. Maybe not this one, but I'd hesitate to delete. --The Cunctator
• BASF
  • Just a qustion for info. --mav
• Zhongshan University
  • Copyright violation. -phma 2002-12-09
• George Adamski
  • Possible copyright infringement -- JeLuF 22:31 Dec 9, 2002 (UTC)
• Clifford Simak
  • Possible copyright infringement, and in Spanish, too.
• Baby Boy
  • Since this movie was never made, I felt it really didn't need its own article, and have moved the minimal content back to the Tupac Shakur article. I vote Baby Boy be deleted. -- Zoe
    • The film was eventually made, but with a different star. Please check (e.g. with a Google search) before nominating articles for deletion. -- Oliver PEREIRA 00:53 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)
• JewWatch not an encyclopedia entry. --Elian
• Snow Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme
  • Was just vandalism (containing only "Dipika"), but it's spelt wrong anyway, so I made it an orphan. -- Tim Starling
• Acetylseryltyrosylserylisoleucylthreonylserylprolylserylglutaminylphenylalanylvalylphenylalanylleucylserylserylvalyltryptophylalanylaspartylprolylisoleucylglutamylleucylleucylasparaginylvalylcysteinylthreonylserylserylleucylglycylasparaginylglutaminylphen

  • Contained "Pan-Africanist congresszzzz", now empty. -- Zoe
• Uppsala Astronomical Observatory
  • Contained "Why dont you get your information from SOMEWHERE ELSE?!", now empty. -- Zoe
  • Celsius and the Angstroms senior and junior were all at the Uppsala Observatory, pretty dense population of distinguished scientists. They've taught astronomy at the university since 1480 and had an observatory since 1740. I just fixed the article, another of my dramatic death-row interventions, so hands off this fine instiution, that guy from the governor's office, Ortolan88 01:29 Dec 11, 2002 (UTC)
• Petty bourgeoisie
  • Was "Put your text for the new page here.jfgjghjghjfjfghjghjghjghjgfj", now blank. -- Tim
