This is an old revision of this page, as edited by MartinHarper (talk | contribs) at 09:58, 28 May 2003 (Long Beach Dub Allstars (not commenting here)). 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 our policy on permanent deletion 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.

    • Text has now been slightly altered. Yes the text could be improved. As for being hard to understand, what about octonions and other mathematical concepts? one of the joys of wikipedia is that you can discover Total depravity without being immersed in Calvinism. Now Total depravity is a Calvinist concept, a therefore any explanation would have to delve into Calvinism. And the people keen to do this are the Calvinist community on wikipedia. This has led to a number of pages being a bit POV (and you can read themselves to see how easy they are to understand). But this should not be an argument for deletion. No doubt someone will come and improve both Pataphysical situation and Total Depravity, for instance. Check the discussion on predestination for example. Perhaps it is best to be patient until then.

    • I think these pages should be retained. Of course they are gibberish, but they are notable gibberish. GrahamN 14:12 27 May 2003 (UTC) (Anti-Deletionist Tendency)
      • Probably (no, make that certainly) this subject should be covered in wikipedia. I think the only reasonable ground for deletion would be that no amount of npoving or annotation starting from the text as it now stands could make these articles informative. -- Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 15:07 27 May 2003 (UTC)
      • Pataphysics (and, apparently, all things associated therewith) are absurdist jokes. An encyclopedia might have articles on absurdist jokes, but they should be ABOUT the joke, they should not BE jokes. Any article which might lead a reader to take the joke seriously is seriously misleading and does not belong in an encyclopedia, so if these are not rewritten to be about pataphysics instead of an example of it, they need deletion. -- Someone else 15:10 27 May 2003 (UTC)


  • All the subpages of Internet humor which are pure source texts should be removed or replaced with external links to the content. In any case, the subpages must go. --Eloquence 00:09 20 May 2003 (UTC)
    • All subpages have been deleted or moved to become independent articles. -- Minesweeper 07:32 27 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Subsequent discussion has been moved to Talk:Internet humor
  • Image:Ov10cdf.jpg: 12.81.64.208 is complaining rather loudly, alleging that this picture from User:Ray Van De Walker is copyrighted and used without permission. Ray looks to be the sort who only pops in here once every couple of weeks, so I don't know if he'll be back soon enough to vouch for it. The alleger seems to think that the picture is © Doug F. Smith & http://www.DSXPRODUCTIONS.com/, which is a company that seems to produce entirely automotive show video, for what it's worth. -- John Owens 11:17 21 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Looks like a pretty solid violation, so I've deleted it. Martin 12:04 27 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Nonexistent hypothetical - Dictionary entry, blanked by user himself. -- JeLuF 19:34 21 May 2003 (UTC)
    • That's me. I was/am unsure what the best heading for the article would be, so feel free to axe it. If and when I do write it up again, I will have found a better headword for it. Cimon Avaro on a pogo stick 15:07 27 May 2003 (UTC)
  • A. P. Mathur - is this person significant? Kingturtle 18:13 22 May 2003 (UTC)
    • The name gets 527 hits on Google [2]. He seems to have written a number of books. -- Infrogmation 06:40 23 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Atlas Shrugged/Section181 - there used to be a lot more articles on Atlas Shrugged, they have now been brought down to 12 main articles, the rest having been deleted or redirected. This one seems to have been forgotten. Andre Engels 20:08 22 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Assassins' Guild - a club that plays a game called Killer. It's a small club, probably made up of high school or college kids. The game they play could use an entry, but the club doesn't deserve one. There are probably dozens of clubs with the same name around the world. --Frecklefoot 22:35 22 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. This will never become anywhere close to an article. --Menchi 13:13 24 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Quantum Neutrino Field This is a complete nonsense page Stupidmoron 01:43 23 May 2003 (UTC)
    • "Quantum Neutrino Field" gets exactly 1 Google hit: a page called A Gamma World Hell Hole: Chapter 24. It's a role-playing game. "Farsnworth effect" gets zero hits. Barely even worth waiting 7 days to detete this one, but I guess we might as well. I've blanked it. Tannin 01:58 23 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Of course there is a quantum field theory of neutrinos (e.g. [3]), but this isn't it. -- Tim Starling 03:12 23 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Yukar - possible copyvio. Author gave the vague assurance that the original source didn't mention copyright. This is hardly the same as permission. Evercat 02:27 23 May 2003 (UTC)
  • TextOut is a Windows API function. It is currently far less than a stub (it doesn't even say what the function does) and there are no other Windows API function articles. It has been vandalised and blank for most of it's history. CGS 14:56 23 May 2003 (UTC).
  • Casting drama - In order to cast drama is important to know how many roles are in a play. That seems to be a howto and not an encyclopeic article. -- JeLuF 20:54 23 May 2003 (UTC)
    • There are other howtos but this one seems particularly useless. It really doesn't explain anything, and I don't understand it at all. Seconded. Evercat 20:57 23 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Where is all this how to crap coming from? D-E-L-E-T-E. FearÉÍREANN 06:16 26 May 2003 (UTC)
  • User_talk:Dewlaylomo
  • User:Dewlaylomo
  • User_talk:Dewlaylomo/ban
    • Originally deleted with comment (Offensive user name, mostly vandal). I disagree with deletion, because we should have some record of why a user has been banned, etc. Please discuss :) Martin 18:32 25 May 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep it :-) Anthere
      • Please clarify which you're seconding? This is the "Votes for deletion" page, after all, not "Votes for undeletion". For my part, I'd say keep it for the reason given above. -- John Owens 20:41 25 May 2003 (UTC)
        • Apology, I was not clear. Ant
  • The Theo Wade Brown article was made about a month after he died. Google only picks up one hit on his name.....and that one hit is Theo Wade Brown. If Theo is significant, the article needs to explain how and why. Otherwise, it should be considered for deletion. Kingturtle 03:59 26 May 2003 (UTC)
  • James Anthony was marked as a copyright violation long ago, but seems to have slipped through the cracks until now. -- John Owens 14:17 26 May 2003 (UTC)
    • The author, 152.163.xx.xx and 64.12.96.xx, seems to have taken it upon him/herself to restore the page content with the following on the talk page:
      Please note that some of the text on this page is the same as posted on the website http://www.paulstillarockin.com/bushpilot. That website is The James Anthony Band website, owned by the band's drummer, Paul McKinnon. The text shown is James Anthony's musical biography & Mr. Anthony has given Mr. McKinnon permission to use it for publication. His biography has been published worldwide for promotional purposes.
It doesn't seem to me that giving Mr. McKinnon permission implies giving us permission in any way. And "publish[ing] worldwide for promotional purposes" doesn't mean it's in the public domain, or GFDLed. Also, this brings up the issue of Paul McKinnon page itself, as well, with a similar note in place on the talk page. I don't want to be too heavy-handed, so if I'm right here, could someone restore the boilerplate, and perhaps add it to the latter? -- John Owens 15:28 27 May 2003 (UTC)
P.S. Forgot to mention, I did not, however, find any copyright notice on the external site above, for what it's worth. -- John Owens 15:33 27 May 2003 (UTC)
  • Resen, content was: resen e grad vo makedonia makedonia na makedoncite Kosebamse 12:16 27 May 2003 (UTC)

Guatemala Feliz

  • Source text and in Spanish. --mav
    • Leave it. It seems in line with other List of national anthems articles. Though having English language translations for the lyrics to all of them would be nice. -- Infrogmation 04:49 28 May 2003 (UTC)

Isabel Preysler

  • Empty. I might get around to writing about her soon but if I dont or someone else doesnt, erase it. The girl's got a long biography, just not written on that page. But if Im gonna write about her I will need to search for details. She married Julio Iglesias but she also married some former president of Spain and so on you know. So if I dont get around or someone else does, to it, erase it.
