An article about or described by any of the following can be safely assumed among the category of unnecessary articles:
- You or the organization you work for.
- Your band which has only sold 47 copies of their one album. Even if you think it will sell 48. Or maybe 49!
- The religion or language that you made up with your friends in school one day.
- The street you live on (unless it is on a Monopoly board).
- Any one of the 56 distinct regions in the Pokémon video game series.
- Your apartment building.
- A stunt or trick only you have ever attempted, probably unsuccessfully.
- Any movie you made yourself which has never been seen by more people at one time than can fit in your basement.
- Individual [Insert current bubblegum idol here] songs, unless they're seventeen minutes long or have led to a phone number becoming unusable. At the very least, it has to make us laugh and inspire no fewer than one million people to imitate or otherwise parody it (poorly).
- The high school you attend or used to attend and how cool each of your friends is. No, I don't care that your ten-pin bowling team won the state championship.
- Wikipedia. You're there already, you don't need an article to tell you about it.
- "(Insert random Wikipedia process here) in popular culture".
- Your dormitory, university residence, or any suite therein.
- Topics that already have an article. Use the Search button. It's there for a reason.
- Fancruft, which is usually defined as stuff nobody but that guy who changes his Spock ears more often than his underpants cares about, or the equivalent thereof. For example, a song about a custom map of a video game, unless you are famous and the song managed to release as a single.
- Anything about which you cannot be buggered to write one complete sent
- Subjects that cannot be studied, or the knowledge of which amounts only to the fact that it pertains to another topic. A favourite line from a movie (Frankly my dear ...) or catchy lyric (I can't get no ...), a potent phrase used in argument (You're talking from out of your ...), juicy facts of interest to fans (Model for Michelangelo's David's ...), a punch-line or zinger (Take my wife ... please!), are all very interesting. All that can be informatively written about topic "X", is that X is a type of fact found in [[Article Y]]".
- Just about everything listed on Wikipedia:Millionth topic pool.
- For that matter, Wikipedia:Millionth topic pool.
- Anything about your cat or dog and how cute it is (or your hamster, degu, or chinchilla).
- Exploding Whales, or indeed Exploding Wales, or even Exploding Wales.
- Anything written under the influence of recreational substances or while tired and emotional.
- An article about another article, written after the use of aforementioned substances, nothing using third or fourth-order thinking ends well when you're high.
- Gourmet cheese
- Your mom.
- Any article intentionally trying to get into Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense. No, it isn't that funny to anybody except you. That is what Uncyclopedia is for.
- Excessively narrow-scoped lists created with humorous intent, like "List of chimneys in science fiction", and pointless comparison articles, like "Comparison between Fiona Apple and William of Orange". Just because it's "interesting" and "paper encyclopaedias wouldn't cover such a topic, but we can", we may not necessarily have an excuse.
- A fork of an existing article for the sole purpose of adding some humor.
- ...and claiming that the article you copied was a parody of yours. You're not fooling anyone.
- Also, The weather in London. Not even a redirect.
- Your World Of Warcraft character. Just because you have no life doesn't mean you get to tell us about it.
