Misplaced Pages

If you've come here having recently created a page that has just been marked to say it may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, welcome to Misplaced Pages. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations – you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the sandbox for further testing, or create a user page for yourself.

If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that met the criteria for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.

For more information, please read our deletion policy.

Using this page

For articles that need deletion, add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} to the top of the page. You should not wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history. This expands to:

Template loop detected: Template:Db-reason

Replace Reason with the reason why the page should be deleted under the speedy deletion criteria.

Other templates available that give a reason include {{nonsense}} and {{db-bio}}. They may be used where appropriate.

(You can also use {{delete}} or {{d}} if you prefer not to provide a reason, but it is generally a good idea to provide a reason, even where it seems "obvious" to you.)

Note that if you just replace the content with {{db|reason}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.

See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.

For articles that do not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please use Misplaced Pages:Proposed deletion (for deletions likely to meet no opposition) or Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion (for controversial deletions). Please do not list pages here that are already listed there.

Advice for administrators

• Review our admin deletion guidelines
• Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
• Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on Misplaced Pages:Articles for deletion
• If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright.
• Don't worry too much — new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. Misplaced Pages:Speedy deletion patrol goes through the deletion logs to catch stuff that shouldn't have been speedied, without rancor or excessive red tape. Feel free to be efficient!

Deletion of personal pages

Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't.

Only post pages from your own personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here.

Please see Misplaced Pages:User page for further instructions, and Misplaced Pages talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.

Requested

Note: For faster response, please add {{deletebecause|Reason.}} or {{db|Reason.}} as mentioned above.

Questioned speedy deletions

The Prophet (musician)

I'm against the deletion, just because there were few articles with red links leading on it and because the person is actually one of the leading in the harddance musical scene. He also sold more than 5000 vinyls/cds which should ensure him Notability in Misplaced Pages. I see no reason why should this article be deleted. In fact, the discography of this artist is so huge that it will take long time to sort it and write it down. He is much more famous than a lot of other DJs who have article on Wiki. --ha-core 07:50, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Frauenburg

Matcreg wants to completely delete Frauenburg from Misplaced Pages to serve his national POV on Nicolaus Copernicus. There he altered even a quote from a German book to match his intentions. --Matthead 14:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Ridiculous. There are many Frauenbergs. This is a dab page, not some kind of rival to Frombork. I'm just taking your word about motives, though. · rodii · 15:10, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

No, no! Pay attention and look at the Frauenburg article! Not Frauenberg!!! With 'U' not 'E'. The whole mini article is garbage, containing no valid disambiguation links at all. My real motives are to redirect this article to Frombork, where it belongs to. Actually you have taken word from somebody who tries to push his own national POV by all means and trying to discredit myself here. Matcreg 16:02, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
