Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/archive May 2004
Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below (or use the Vote feature) so an admin can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages. If the page should be deleted, an admin will, and the link removed from this page (it will show up on the Wikipedia:Deletion log). If the page should not be deleted, an admin will remove the link from this page. Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of a week before a decision is made.
Also, check the What links here link. Many entries that seem not to belong in an encyclopedia, are linked from Sep 11, 2001 related pages.
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.
As a general rule, don't delete pages you nominate for deletion. Let someone else do it.
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 page titles of stubs that at least have a decent defintion and might in the future become articles. There's no reason to delete those (see Wikipedia:Find or fix a stub). 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 b e 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.
Discussion about the merits of deleting a page listed here should take place on wikipedia talk:Votes for deletion.
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 delete a page, remove if from this list as well.

- Rubaiyat of Omar Khayyam/Introduction
- Although part of the (no longer present) original text, this introduction contains some useful information. Should we remove it and wait for original text to come by, or put it as the main article (with some editing)? Jeronimo 10:22 Sep 11, 2002 (UTC)
- Le Bébète Show
- Misspelling content moved to Le Bébête Show, no links remaining.
- There's no need to delete this - this mis-spelling has been used before (the original article was moved from here), and it will probably be used again. --Camembert

- Copyright violations, no need to have articles for different subversions, and the main article should be at Amiga Workbench or Workbench (Amiga) so as not to bother the article about workbenches. -phma 2002-09-21

- I didn't change anything!
- I think it's useless to have this kind of "articles" around in Wikipedia. Some phrases might be worthy of that ("Beam me up, Scotty"), but this sentence can be used in a thousand different configurations and isn't even really jargon. Oh, and it's an orphan, too. There could be an interesting text about the problem indicated by this sentence, but that should be at software engineering or so. Jeronimo
- It's no longer an orphan. Gpietsch 15:25 Sep 23, 2002 (UTC)

- I don't know where the line is for being famous enough to have a page on Wikipedia, but if she is above it, it's awfully low Andre Engels 17:25 Sep 26, 2002 (UTC)
- The problem isn't one of fame, it's of useful information. The entry doesn't have any helpful info.

- At least for me these give the Netscape "not a correct image" logo.
- Whatever they are, they're not gif or jpeg images. Anyone know a binary file format that starts with "MB" (0x4D 0x42)? --Brion 08:27 Sep 28, 2002 (UTC)

- Not so! If Morales really were the prettiest girl in Puerto Rico, that information would certainly be of "encyclopedia importance". The problem with the article is a near-total lack of verifiability/falsifiability. --The Cunctator
