This is the orphaned talks project.

Instructions

These articles all have a talk page but not a main article. They must be deleted. You must be an administrator to participate.

I suggest the summary Admins: help remove more orphaned talk pages at ]

Possible false positives:

  • Archived talk pages (although I have tried to remove these)
  • "To do" subpages (although I have tried to remove these too)

I removed all User_talk pages - too many false positives, even with the IP pages removed.

So:

  1. Click on a blue link on one of the subpages.
  2. Check that the main page does not exist (the link should be red). For images, check that the image was deleted.
  3. Check whether the talk page has become detatched as a result of a page move by searching for more appropriately named pages
  4. Check the discussion page for any salvageable information, and move it out if appropriate.
  5. Delete the page. For the summary, please prepend the provided summary to the automatically-generated reason.

Listing

This listing was generated in April 2006. Pages deleted since then will appear as red links.

Each page contains 1000 articles in blocks of 50.

Main articles

Probably shouldn't be deleted:
