Revision as of 00:20, 2 September 2003


Add links to unwanted page titles to the list below so that other Wikipedians can have a chance to argue for and against the removal of the page. Please sign any suggestion for deletion (use four tildes, ~~~~, to sign with your user name and the current date).

If there is general consensus for deletion, an administrator will carry it out, and the link will be removed from this page (it will show up in the deletion log). If no consensus can be reached, someone will remove the link from this page, and the page will not be deleted.

Page titles should stay listed for a minimum of 7 days before a decision is made. Note that obvious junk can be removed by admins at any time - see deletion policy for details.

Please consider adding a deletion notice like the following on top of pages that are scheduled for deletion:

''This page has been listed on ]. Please see that page for justifications and discussion.''

You may also choose to inform the author of the page about the ongoing discussion on their user talk page. The notice does not need to be added to pages which a) have no content (such as redirects), and b) also have no significant history.


Please review deletion policy before adding to this page, and before performing deletions as an administrator. To challenge a decision made over a deletion, see Misplaced Pages:Votes for undeletion.

  • Shisha and Hookah seem to be the same things; they should probably be merged into one page. -- Khym Chanur 01:49, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Helicon Systems - stub about a less-than-important company (29 Google hits), but could have some relevance in computer history. Other opinions, please? Kosebamse 07:10, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Doesn't seem to be self-promotion and it is relevant, like you said. Keep it. -- goatasaur 07:22, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Jan Geerinck - Orphan article, seems to be about a webmaster, don't think just to be webmaster is important enough to deserve an article here. andy 08:15, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • User talk:172 sysop status - This was up August 16 with no consensus. There's -no- reason to keep it, all the material is in page history for record purposes. - Hephaestos 08:26, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Copied previous votes below. Martin 09:53, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • No longer needed. Please see User talk:172 sysop status#My final statement for my justification. Removing this page should help 172 get past this. If anyone wants to read the page in the future, they can read my personal achive of it in my personal space. マイカル 19:29, Aug 16, 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep for transparency. Consider refactoring. Consider moving related material there. Martin 19:53, 16 Aug 2003 (UTC)
      • Delete it, but preserve the contents. It would be best to add it to the administrators' page, where it all was placed originally, and then save a new version of the article so that it cannot be viewed on the current main page. Let it stay in the page history of the administrators' page, where it belonged in the first place. If anyone wanted to refer to it, it would be in the page history. If MB, the major antagonist in effort to have my sysop status revoked, deems it unnecessary, this should be a sign that the matter has been put to rest. 172 00:13, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep for transparency (somewhere, but visible). Fantasy 08:37, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Every word is now saved in votes for administrator page history, along with all other debates on the administratorship of every other sysop. I copied the current version of the 172 page and added it to the votes for admin page, and then reverted that edit. Thus, the contents of the 172 page remain in the page history, but are not posted on the current version of the page. There's no reason that this remain the single debate over an adminship with its own individual page. If it's deleted, not a word would be lost. 172 08:45, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • I agree with deletion of this. Angela 17:15, 17 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • keep. ...for me posting something without comment is "hiding". If some one wants to hide things like that, I am for keeping it. I did not have the time to read it all yet, maybe I (or someone else) wants/needs it later Fantasy 18:48, 19 Aug 2003 (UTC)
    • Keep. -- Jake 02:10, 2003 Aug 20 (UTC)
    • I don't think this page ought to be removed. Records are a Good Thing. It improves the understanding of the wikipedia project.--Tuomas 00:08, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)
  • Pusey House, Oxford - Only one line, which starts with "Pusey House is not..." What on Earth could be the use for that knowledge? It's also an orphan. 141.26.64.2 12:24, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • I would like to discuss Misplaced Pages:WikiProject Encyclopedic Network. This project strikes me as a weird cross of network theory, machine learning, philosophy and some amount of craziness. Unless user Fwappler can make more clear what he means (with coresponding references to established scientific journals) or a fellow Wikipedian with a better background in mathematics / philosophy can support the feasibility of this project, I tend to see it as a prank that is an embarrassment to Misplaced Pages and should be removed. Morn 15:06, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • For more of this, see Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Encyclopedic Network. Looks meta to me, rather than deletable. Martin 16:16, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
      • Martin, I read all this, and it seems noone is clear what this project is supposed to be about. Noone posted there since the beginning of the year, except for you today, now that I brought up the page here. And the user who initiated the whole thing (whatever it is) seems to be gone since May. Morn 18:56, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Jaeger-LeCoultre Society. Only 15 Google hits. Angela 18:16, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • In addition, appears to be a copyvio: text is exactly as appears here. Furthermore, just below the copied text, the original site lists a 'Betty' as helping; the similarity to the username that created this article here may be significant. -- Morven 19:28, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Ds cr.JPG and Curved Ridge - Misplaced Pages is not a mountaineering guide, and I don't think the personal photo would be appropiate either. andy 18:54, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Corentin Louis Kervran and Kervran - says in part: "showed that transmutation of elements does indeed occur in living organisms". This looks like junk science. 4 Google hits for "Corentin Louis Kervran". Kosebamse 20:04, 1 Sep 2003 (UTC)
