Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

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.

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.

Please sign any suggestion for deletion (use four tildes, ~~~~, to sign with your user name and the current date).

If you wish to delete subpages in your own user space, use Wikipedia:Personal subpages to be deleted

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.

Some of these have actually been listed here quite some time (Sextus Afranius Burrus since March 11 for example, see history) although the time stamp makes it appear they haven't had their week yet. So I'll go through and delete the oldest -- sannse 09:58 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)

- Are these really necessary? -- goatasaur
- Seconded. These are devoid of encyclopedic information and stupid. On the other hand, they do keep the trolls occcupied. -- Tarquin 19:48 Mar 17, 2003 (UTC)
- I think this was just a deliberate smart-ass entry. I say delete. -- Infrogmation
- fourth-ed (if such a term exists!) These lists are getting to the point of absurdity. Or may we should start a new list [[Pointless lists on wikipedia]]? About the only use they have is in keeping the trolls happy. A wiki version of prozac, I suppose. STÓD/ÉÍRE 20:39 Mar 22, 2003 (UTC)

Victor Meldrew
- Separate article of two lines for a sitcom character that should be on the sitcom page, One Foot in the Grave. --jaknouse
- I disagree totally, He is not just a sitcom character; he one of the most recognised characters ever to be created in a sitcom. Of course there should be page on him. STÓD/ÉÍRE 03:55 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)

- You can upload the better versions over the top of the old versions, I believe. Try it, let us know at the village pump if you have problems.
  - Thank you. Normally one can "replace" them but I had already deleted them from my hard drive. I copied one from Wikipedia and redid it (tried two tests) but it didn't work so I have already reloaded all of them using a new, different descriptive name. So, someone can delete these.

Pornographic Video Tapes
- I strongly suspect this band is the figment of someone's imagination. - Hephaestos 01:48 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
- www.allmusic.com, mm.musicbrainz.org never heard of 'em. Salsa Shark 01:57 Mar 21, 2003 (UTC)
- The names of these albums neither pass the Google test nor the UBL test. Indeed, UBL doesn't recognize the band. -- Zoe
- I already deleted the album. (Pornographic Video Tapes: A Nation Of Porn) -- Zoe

Delete Scripting language to make a room to rename Scripting programming language to Scripting language. Thanks.
- This is opposite from the usual convention (as I understand it). I believe the page should stay at Scripting programming language -- sannse 08:01 Mar 23, 2003 (UTC)
- Usualy convention says if there is no ambiguity not putting programming language. See also talk page.
  - I understood that convention to relate to things like QuakeC vs QuakeC programing language rather than to "language" vs "programing language". Wouldn't using "language" alone be more ambiguous in this context? I'm not at all knowlegble in this area though. -- sannse 19:50 Mar 24, 2003 (UTC)

Georges Vanier - failed the Google test, and was unencyclopedic. - Montréalais

Images of Rachel Corrie - This iconography is pure and simple POV propaganda. -- Zoe
- It's a way of avoiding cluttering up the Rachel Corrie article with photos, and providing additional photos, since some people complained that the former had "too many" photos. There's nothing POV about making extra photos available - or is Images of sheep propaganda? In any case, if it is deemed unnecessary, it should be redirected to Rachel Corrie, not deleted.

Control paradox - this needs either to be expanded or deleted - it's currently mostly a list of external links

Jas2000, This is a new link i just made - n00bz -- Salsa Shark 09:52 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)
- I've redirected Jas2000 to User:Jas2000. A few people have set up redirects like this, which works fine as long as there is no ambiguity -- sannse 10:22 Mar 25, 2003 (UTC)
