Wikipedia:Wikipedia utilities/Page titles to be deleted

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Mav (talk | contribs) at 21:16, 3 May 2002 (removed "table top games" from the queue without deleting - article is a good jumping-off point to other related articles and can be developed into an article itself). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below so an admin 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!) Similarly, 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. (See Talk)

NOTE to Wiki Administrators: 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 are presented with a page in the database that only has "Describe the new page here." in an edit box, then please remove this phrase, hit save and then check the history of that page to make sure its content wasn't simply replaced by "Describe the new page here.". Then you can delete the page.

  • Light rail/USA - copyright violation
  • [[Scooby Doo, Where Are You?]] - not reliably linkable due to ? in title; content moved to Scooby Doo, Where Are You. Might have to use SQL to delete this one.
  • Philosophy of body -- Larry Sanger, a resident PhD philosopher, says delete it -- so here it is for a short review by others - is this a field or not? is it distinct from [[philosophy of action]] or [[embodied philosophy]] or [[postmodernism]] or [[feminism]]?
  • Adding stuff to Wikipedia - redundant orphan
  • William Shakespeare/How to upload Shakespeare to Wikipedia--a good cause - as well as being an orphan, this article promotes a now abandoned way of doing things. Most of the debating part likely exists on other pages.
  • Turboalberta - this orphan is nothing more than a link to the guy's homepage - in Flemish (but it does have some pretty aurora pictures)
  • CinkoSiete Advertisement, and in spanish.
