This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Zoe (talk | contribs) at 00:16, 4 January 2003 (Elias Disney). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Add links to unwanted page titles to the list below so an administrator can find them and check whether or not they should be deleted. Please review Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages before adding to this page. If the page should be deleted, an admin will do so, and the link will be removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, someone 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 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.

In many cases, a page does not need to be 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 that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called Hume can be 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
  • 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

    • With another sentence or two it could qualify as a stub. Perhaps someone was planning on adding encyclopedic content? You'll note that some web sites do get an entire article. See Hot Or Not. --Ryguasu

    • it's just an entry copied from the Jargon File. It may be worth a mention in a larger article on hacker jargon in general, but not a subject for an encyclopedia. -- Tarquin 18:39 Dec 14, 2002 (UTC)
    • I think it has promise. We shouldn't add more such entries willy-nilly, but I don't think any harm will come of such entries already here stay there. --The Cunctator
    • If it can ever be more than a stub, then OK, but I don't see how it can. The harm that might come of leaving these entries here is that people see them, think that they're the sort of entries we want, and make lots more like them. I think it should be deleted (perhaps it could be moved to the wiktionary?). --Camembert 00:30 Dec 15, 2002 (UTC)
    • That doesn't seem to happen, does it? We shouldn't base decisions on that which has not come to pass.--The Cunctator
    • Well, I don't agree with you - I know when I started here I based articles on what was already here, and I should think other people do this as well. And I wouldn't think that people would keep adding these Jargon File entries if we didn't already have a stack of them. But anyway, the main point is that this isn't an encyclopaedia article and never will be - it's a dictionary entry at best, so belongs on the wiktionary. I can't be bothered to push for deletion very hard though. --Camembert 18:28 Dec 18, 2002 (UTC)

  • Primatology and Primatologist.
    • These pages are nothing more than dictionary definitions. -- Zoe
  • Anti-stuckism
    • Term was made up by the original contributor. This should be moved to meta. --mav
      • This claim is blatantly false. The original occurance giving birth to the term "anti-stuckism" is spelled out. There is no basis for moving it to meta. --Daniel C. Boyer
      • I agree with Daniel. The article should stay. --Eloquence 10:14 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)
        • Don't be silly - that occurence didn't "give birth" to anything. There's no such movement as "anti-stuckism". People have (rarely) called things "anti-stuckist", the same way they call things, I don't know, "anti-Brit Art" or "anti-figurative", but it doesn't make it worthy of an encyclopaedia article, not even worthy of a dictionary entry. --Camembert 00:17 Dec 29, 2002 (UTC)
    • I've now incorporated the info that was on this page into Stuckism. --Camembert 00:40 Jan 2, 2003 (UTC)

  • Jtdirl moved George I of the United Kingdom to George I of Great Britain without bothering to discuss it with anyone. I think ... United Kingdom should be deleted so that ... Great Britain can be moved back. -- Zoe
    • It should be possible to move the page back if required without deletion, since ...United Kingdom consists of only a redirect to ...Great Britain with nothing in its history. However, I think the original page move is correct in any case, so moving back is not necessary. --Camembert 02:49 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

  • Emilie du Chatelet seems to have a lot of stuff taken from http://www.agnesscott.edu/lriddle/women/chatelet.htm. Copyright violation? -- SGBailey 13:40 Dec 23, 2002 (UTC)

  • Knuckles the Echidna in Sonic the Hedgehog 2
    • One sentence article that was also redundant, now empty. Update: Now a redir, which is no longer needed. Please remove. --Eloquence
    • This page should not be removed, it is a perfectly fine article and this person as well as I believe one other have deleted it twice, requiring me to go in and fix it. - The T
      • From the talk page: This page or this principle is not worth an edit war. Let the guy write it. If it is important, more stuff will come, if not, who cares? Personally, I think that a single article on the "Sonic family of games" makes more sense, but if there is more than one article on this "family" then why not this one too? Ortolan88
  • Wikipedia:Utilites Redirection page. Not a common misspelling.
  • Pashtoon

  • NirvanaBand/Smells Like Teen Spirit
    • Contained "See:Nirvana Band and Smells Like Teen Spirit", now empty. -- Zoe
  • January 2002
    • Moved the content to 2002 -- Zoe
    • There's all the other "* 2002" pages to delete too. -- Tarquin 10:40 Dec 29, 2002 (UTC)
      • The 2002 page is going to get pretty large if you try to merge all of that content in. These are all archives of the Current events page, and the monthly archive seems about the right interval to me, especially given the growing use of Current events. January 2002 is clearly the exception; that was prior to the Current events page being used in earnest. - RobLa 01:46 Jan 1, 2003 (UTC)
      • Yes, these should stay. They are both archives of the current events page and they provide a far more detailed year in review than does the 2002 page. Remember, Wikipedia is a encyclopedia with almanac-like content and any almanac worth its salt will have a detailed year in review covering the year prior to the almanac's edition. --mav
  • Culture jam
  • Henry III, Holy Romen Emperor
    • Odd misspelling. These Henrys are confusing enough without this
  • SEP0field
    • Just a redirect (formerly 'see', formerly one-sentence dupe stub), appears to be a bad title, not linked
  • Volkspartij_voor_Vrijheid_and_Democratie
    • Sorry, bad title. You'd better delete this one, a redirect is not necessary.
  • Catherine Fenton
    • This article contains no information about the person, and it doesn't look as if there are plans to add any. --Deb
  • Khmer Rouges
    • likely just a misspelling, nothing points to it and it simply redirects to the correctly spelled Khmer Rouge -- User:Maury Markowitz
      • I don't think this will hurt. And it might catch some links from the internet. -- JeLuF 10:48 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
  • The Free State Project
    • Possible copyright violation (another damn micronation vanity page too). --mav 08:26 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • I have no explicit permission to use the original F.S.P. self-description under the GPL specifically. However, I have permission to spread at least an almost identical version of that description "wherever": Distribute information about the FSP to friends, family, or fellow pro-freedom political activists at liberty-friendly events, gun shows, rallies, meetings, wherever. [1] This statement regards, amongst others, this brochure specifically. Please, notify me as soon as you reconsider the Possible Copyright Infringement -- you deleted the article unexpectedly to me, while I still edited it. (Wasn't it sorta aggressive?) I want to update it ASAP, while the idea still sustains in my mind. -- 6birc 10:07 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • The article must be available under GFDL - not only be freely distributable. We require the right to change the article, which the wherever-clause does not provide. -- JeLuF 10:25 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
      • Thank you for explanation. I will contact the copyright owner for permission or will rephrase the text. -- 6birc 17:45 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)

  • AnarchisM
    • It's a hold-over from the days when wiki links were CamelCase, nothing points to it these days. Or is it being kept around because of its edit history? --Jizzbug
    • That's one reason for keeping it - another is that external webpages, old emails, personal bookmarks, etc. may have linked to it. There's no need to delete this, or any of the other old CamelCase pages which are now redirects. --Camembert 21:48 Dec 31, 2002 (UTC)
