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 [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]]. 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 Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion.

  • Jimmy James and the Blue Flames. Nonsensical. Angela 01:04, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • I've stubified it. Looks like there may be potential here, but I know nothing about Jimi Hendrix, so maybe not. It's already mentioned in the Jimi Hendrix article. Maybe just redirect? -- Wapcaplet 06:02, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Chuo-ku This article is like stating your mom is a woman. Kowloonese 04:30, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Higashi-ku Again stating the obvious. See Chuo-ku Kowloonese 04:46, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • ZAFT, Coordinators, Earth Alliance. all by same anon. I didn't delete on sight (I'm reformed) in case they made sense to anyone. jimfbleak 07:16, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Also listed at Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/copyvio but since rewritten. A suggestion of combining them into the babylon 5 article was met with the response "fuck off Angela". --Angela 07:20, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. Definitions are nonsense as they stand (there's no context or mention of Babylon 5, and do we really need to create separate entries for each Babylon 5 group?) --Zippy 09:55, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • I've made Earth Alliance into a redirect, but this user doesn't deserve much more consideration than that. jimfbleak
    • It shouldn't even be redirected to Babylon 5. As far as I can make out, these entries have no connection with Babylon 5 at all, and it's a completely different fictional Earth Alliance! Delete the lot of them, I say. Arwel 16:42, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Kurt cobain.jpg. As specifically said in Image Talk:Kurt cobain.jpg, this image does not have the appropriate copyright releases to be on Wikipedia. RickK 07:22, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Image:Picture 003.jpg. Extremely large orphan photo. RickK 08:24, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. It was asked of the user (who had only 2 edits) nearly 2 months ago. What's worse is that it has no desc at all. And a horrible file name. --Menchi 08:41, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • HTML-colour. What is this? No text, and a picture that is too large to fit on the screen. RickK 08:48, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Well what it is; is a colour chart for the some of the various hex colour codes. The reason it's too large to fit on the page is it's really a table not a picture. That could be fixed by making the font smaller. I think it's reasonably useful. The article needs expanding and deo-orphaning rather than deleting Theresa knott 09:04, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Renaming it too would be a good idea. Something like HTML color codes would be nice or even Color in the World Wide Web which would discuss the treatment of colors in the WWW: HTML color codes, the sixteen named colors, the web-safe palette, Windows vs. Mac colors, 8-bit/15-bit/16-bit/24-bit colors, CSS colors, gamma correction (esp. in PNG), colors in popular image formats (GIF, JPG, PNG). Then again, the page might become too long. --seav 11:19, Sep 6, 2003 (UTC)
    • There are already two charts: see List of RGB colours and RGB color space. Both have well-made charts, with different styles. I don't think we need more, just to improve those two. At18 22:19, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. And agreed, the List of RBG colours needs some help. -- Wapcaplet 22:33, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • How to answer quizzes. Not really encyclopedic. RickK 08:53, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Maybe merge into Quiz. --Menchi 09:01, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
      • I don't think it's worth merging anywhere. The you are likely to receive partial credit is misleading. You may lose marks for doing this. Not all open ended questions involve writing a "short sentence". Angela 19:05, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • Eidolon - Doesn't this belong in a dictionary? Evil saltine 11:52, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Will a merge to a handling of Eidolon Software, a well-known software company for NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP do? I was unsure. Dysprosia 12:55, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
  • List of heterosexuals not notable in connection with their heterosexuality, pretty silly.Ark30inf 17:20, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • vote against deletion
    • vote for deletion. With a title like that, it should list 90% of the world population. If it should read "notable, but in connection...", it should list 90% of all notable people in the world. Useless. At18 19:02, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Oh good god, not another of these nutty list of heterosexual articles. I think it has got to be one of the stupidist articles ever created on wiki. The only reason to keep this drivel is as an example of articles you never ever should create on wiki. The creator of this should have every hardcopy edition of Encyclopædia Brittania thrown at them as punishment, and be forced to edit every single comment made by George W. Bush for grammar and puncuation as well. :-) Delete, delete, delete delete . . . . FearÉIREANN 19:49, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Kill it. PLEASE! uriber 20:09, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Geez who's got time for this rubbish? Delete. quercus robur 20:07, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC) (Comment left on talk page. I have copied it here for the record. FearÉireann.)
    • Delete. -- Schnee 22:23, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
    • Delete. --Wik 22:40, Sep 6, 2003 (UTC)
  • Liquid2k. Content is Liquid2k is the name of a free web host. I don't think it's a good idea to start listing every web host. Angela 22:39, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)
