This article is highly unnecessary - I doubt there are enough wikis about St. Louis that it needs its entire article. This page seems to have come about via a discussion here: Talk:St._Louis,_Missouri#Link_Spam_Discussion, where it was decided that all linkspam about St. Louis needed its own page. So far, all the article is is an external link. I don't think there are that many wikis about St. Louis that meet WP:WEB. And if it is the intention of the article to be a collection of external links (as opposed to wikilinks), WP is not for that purpose. Delete. Wickethewok 04:49, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Possible even speedy delete under A3: "No content whatsoever. Any article consisting only of links elsewhere (including hyperlinks, category tags and "see also" sections), a rephrasing of the title, and/or attempts to correspond with the person or group named by its title."

- The reason I chose not to speedy it is because it was borne out of a talk page discussion. Wickethewok 07:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete per Wickethewok. The discussion at Talk:St. Louis, Missouri#Link Spam Discussion seems misguided to the extent that it encouraged the establishment of this article. Either the wikis about St. Louis should be external links at St. Louis, Missouri or they should not be listed on Wikipedia at all. --Metropolitan90 06:23, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete I actually totally agree, and I made the page. This was made per a discussion of someone claiming that many St. Louis wikis had been posted as external links and that he didn't feel they were appropriate. This was the compromise, but I feel [WikiLou belongs in the external links, or nowhere at all (though I'm for the former). Thanks. -69.150.42.75 07:04, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom. Anon, if you are User:Mijunkin you can speedy the deletion by adding {{db-author}}--thunderboltz(Deepu) 07:19, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete per nom, this is hilarious! List of wikis? Almost as good as the "list of sting rays that have killed notable people" article a while back. — Dark Shikari talk/contribs 13:37, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- Speedy A3 per TJ Spyke. Failing that Delete/assassinate/burn with fire. Cynical 14:44, 8 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
