Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
< Wikipedia:Votes for deletion
This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mav (talk | contribs) at 21:36, 25 April 2003 (Vate). 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 one of the Wikipedia:Administrators 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.

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

  • 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.

Don't list here...

  • 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
  • pages that need editing - see Wikipedia:Pages needing attention
  • 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!
  • 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.
  • subpages in your own user space, use Wikipedia:Personal subpages to be deleted

Note to admins

  • As a general rule, don't delete pages you nominate for deletion. Let someone else do it.
  • 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.

  • Image:Domek z kart.jpg - seemingly someone's child masquerading as a picture for the encyclopedia. -- Zoe 09:25 Apr 20, 2003 (UTC)
    • remove it from playing card first - who knows, maybe people will like it... Martin
    • I agree with Zoe. Anyway, it's too big, pixel-wise and byte-wise. -- Tim Starling 07:50 Apr 22, 2003 (UTC)
  • List of bibliographies - I started this, and so far I'm the only contributor. There just isn't interest in it, and it's basically just external links only. I thought it was a good idea at the time, but nobody else seems to think so. jaknouse 14:41 Apr 21, 2003 (UTC)
    • Wikipedia is not a link farm. Unless you have plans to add actual content, it should probably go. -- Tim Starling 07:54 Apr 22, 2003 (UTC)
  • Quote Schrödinger cat
    • I would still vote for deletion even if this article wasn't badly titled and consisting entirely of a copyrighted quote in German, because Wikipedia is not a place for source text. Tuf-Kat
  • Banishing crows from a field
    • Does this add anything to the sum of human knowledge? jimfbleak 15:56 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)
      • Is it the task of the Wikipedian to add to human knowledge, or to attempt to compile already existing knowledge in one place?
      Oh dear, I believe I'm starting to sound like User:BigFatBuddha. -- John Owens 16:04 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)
    • I have no objection to this article. What is the reason for proposing deletion? -- Infrogmation 16:28 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)
    • I quite like the article. However a rename to include other species might be in order otherwise we could have banishing pidgeons from fields etc Theresa knott 20:43 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)
  • Severe acute respiratory syndrome: External links
    • Wikipedia is not a web directory. -- JeLuF 20:55 Apr 24, 2003 (UTC)
    • I agree. Besides, there are already plenty of external links on the SARS page. Theresa knott 08:53 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC)
    • I disagree. Unfortunately the current SARS page is too long that I can't edit now and we should divide each section to a separate article. External links article should be one of them.
  • Scrabble tournament game
    • Article is way too big and inappropriate on the Wikipedia, which is not a specialized Scrabble-fans site. The last sentence (highest tie ever), if correct, can be moved to the main Scrabble article; everything else can be deleted. --Geoffrey 20:18 Apr 25, 2003 (UTC)
    • If this article is deemed unnecessary, it should be redirected to Scrabble, not deleted. In fact, you can redirect it yourself, Geoffrey - try to achieve consensus with Fritzlein on Talk:Scrabble tournament game. I'll remove this from votes for deletion shortly.
