Revision as of 08:10, 19 January 2024
Below is a list of articles proposed for deletion. Let's put even obviously useless stubs on there and leave them for one month, during which anyone who objects can raise their arguments there. If after a month, no one has objected, editors can simply delete the article. If objections are raised, we'll see if an agreement can be reached either to keep the article, or adjust associated topics to work around the deletion.
Please add proposed deletions to the bottom of the table below (create extra rows if needed). If you wish to oppose deletion of any article, please complete columns 5 and 6.
Key abbreviations for use in rationale:
- PS = permanent stub that is unlikely to be expanded
- NN = topic not noteworthy (say why) and of no benefit to the encyclopaedia
- MD = (option) move definition to specified RA page
Note: redlinked titles have subpages only, usually /Definition.
| article | date | proposer | rationale | opposed by | reasons | result |

| AGM-119 Penguin | 17 Jan | John | PS/NN. (Note: I had these forty set aside for action before we decided to utilise this page.) All are fringe topics with no added value. Some may have been newsworthy in 2009/10 but no longer. A few might have minimal redirect value but we are trying to reduce the number of redirects to essentials only (e.g., Hitler). One "rule" (a "rule of thumb", really) I always have in mind is that membership of an organisation does not automatically mean the individual is noteworthy. So, while an organisation like the US govt and, poles apart, the Taliban are noteworthy organisations, individual members are not noteworthy unless by individual merit. For example, a top football club might have a squad of 22 players, of whom two are international players. Of the other twenty, some might be noteworthy on grounds of experience, but most will not be and a few might be reserves only. Frankly, these are all stubs created for the sake of creating stubs. In my opinion, for the sake of our credibility, we need to remove all such unnecessary and mainly useless stubs, and focus our efforts on developing noteworthy topics that readers will expect to find, such as the ones listed at Forum Talk:Content#Missing topics. |
