Revision as of 20:13, 10 January 2002

Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below so an admin person can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages, and delete them. 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.


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 article names to this list that might in the future become articles. There's no reason to delete those. 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!)


Pages definitely to be deleted


These pages never contained any real content and therefore must be deleted. This also includes dictionary definitions that couldn't be expanded upon, etc.


  • The Balloon-Hoax/Page2 - In this and the preceeding article, someone dumped the complete text of these works of fiction into Wikipedia and they slopped over onto these "page 2"s. The text has been removed, but these empty pages remain.
  • FeudalisM -- stubby duplicate page for an article that exists elsewhere
  • PHrOzEn cReW - only delete this page, not the page its re-directed to.
  • WMA - no content
  • DAL - "Describe the new page here. Dalby" isn't much of a content
  • ATTAN -- page read "ATTAN ialah seorang staf di CENTEPIS.. nama manjanya ialah `baby'... hobinya pada masa lapang ialah korek idung...."
  • Drunkeness -- not really an article title and has two ens (n) anyway!
  • Barman - more nonsense by the same visitor
  • adamw - no content (note case!)


The following pages have typos of some sort in them.


  • Super_Bowl/III - moved subpage content to real entry (Probably don't need to delete--redirected.
  • Veggie - this contained a stupid definition.
  • Theif - Misspelled, and redone with more proper name (Thief video game) so this one should go, please (I'll redirect).
  • McNaghten rule - should have been plural, currently redirects to plural (probably keep as redirect)
  • discounted_cash_flow - impossible to link to because of lowercase d


Pages that probably need to be deleted


These pages did at one time have some content, but either it was deemed inappropriate for Wikipedia or was already stated somewhere else.


  • BiblicalInterpretation Poorly written, with no content. Do any articles actually link to it? This is far too vague for an entry, unless someone has something specific in mind to put here.
  • Quran of Iblis/Surah 2 - either source text or original writing, no evidence found for this "Quran of Satan" document which it is presenting the text of.
  • Color Talk/Red, also various other "color talk" pages. -- Duplicate info which is currently on pages of individual colors and better left there.
  • Eep -- silliness, moved to Bad jokes
  • Parejas-amigas - someone thought Wikipedia would be a good place to set up a website for his IRC channel.
  • AUM related to the American Union of Men entry; superfluous
  • German names of places taken by Poland - ok, IMHO, this is a stupid page. It cannot be NPOV by virtue of the title. It is just another step in the ever-increasingly silly Prussian axe-grinder war with Poland. Jimbo and Tim, please make it disappear!!!
  • HelL - someones advertisement for a book or something.
  • ALittleLuck - looks like an old wikipedian page, but isn't listed on Wikipedians
  • TestThreePhasePumps - no real encyclopedia content
  • TestingThreePhaseSupply - content of this page and the following two are much too detailed for an encyclopedia
  • TestingMotorCoilResistance
  • TestingEarthFaultResistance



All of the following were involved in a massive rename and redirect...


Following entries have been collected under one article for simplicity, probably keep as redirects:
