Shouldn't they be at the test wiki at Test-wp/xal then? Chick Bowen 15:09, 17 January 2006 (UTC)
Probably better to move to that as a part of test wiki. --Aphaia 06:52, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I am cleaning/arranging LanguageXx.php pages, which they are not used on meta anymore. So these are old subpages of an obsolute Language page. So keeping just the main LanguageIs.php page should be enough for that warning purposes fir this language. --Dbl2010 06:25, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

encyclopedic, non-meta article. oscar 02:50, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a hybrid of oddity and advertisement. I don't think I can say anything else about this one. -.- // Pathoschild (talk) 08:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I've copied the content of this page into Talk:Wikiversity/Old - I don't know where the content had come from, but there is only one version of the page in the history, so it was obviously copied and pasted from somewhere else in the first place. It's not a big deal, but it's just reducing the amount of archived talk pages we have for Wikiversity. Cormaggio @ 10:56, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Seems best to just leave it where it was and delete the new page you created. One is worth keeping, but there's no pressing need to change the name. - Taxman 20:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)
Sorry, just to explain, Talk:Wikiversity/Old and Talk:Wikiversity/Archive existed already - I didn't create a new page or a new name, I've simply merged them. I want the one which had no history (ie which had itself been copied from somewhere else) to be deleted. Cormaggio @ 07:51, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Closed as delete. Essjay TalkContact 10:48, 7 April 2006 (UTC) Currently under deletion at en wikipedia and en wikibooks. The author is using meta to publish his own work. Others articles include:


  • Delete all Infinity0 21:06, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
    • I am not using meta to publish my own work. I created an outline of a project which will be sincerely collaborative. It's a candidate for deletion at wikipedia because somebody flagged it as a suspect neologism. The discussions at wikibooks indicated that this project would be best at home on the Meta. I sincerely believe that this project will be right at home here, that it is not simply "original work." --Wikitopian 21:39, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
      • You call this an anarcho-capitalist project. I don't think that sort of project is appropriate for a neutral website such as wikimedia. You say discussion at wikibooks? Really? Then why does the talk page not exist? Infinity0 21:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
        • I will respect a concensus that this doesn't belong here if it doesn't belong here. You need to settle down and avoid flatly accusing me of deception when you haven't done your research. The conversation at wikibooks which I mentioned was under the deletion log, not in the talk page. It was suggested that I move the project to mediawiki. I'm not trying to "pull a fast one" and would appreciate it if you didn't make this a personal attack. Thanks. --Wikitopian 22:23, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, the person who made the suggestion did not know the project was anarcho-capitalist in nature, as you have only explicitly stated so on the talk page of anarcho-capitalism. Infinity0 22:47, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete now that creator has set up it's own home. - Taxman 20:34, 25 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an essay about a rock band, which should be incorporated into any relevant Wikipedia article and deleted on Meta. This has nothing whatsoever to do with the Foundation or any wiki. // Pathoschild (talk) 06:45, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an essay about a Wikipedian's teen rock band, which has nothing whatsoever to do with the Foundation or any wiki. // Pathoschild (talk) 06:49, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Clearly meta-unrelated, delete. IMHO speedy deletetion should be considered, in clear cases like this. --Mdangers 22:06, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be discussion from Wikipedia:Talk:Feminism, moved to the Meta-Wiki because it was unwanted there. As a user on that page stated, "The meta is not a place to spout off on any subject you like, but exists to discuss Wikipedia related issue." // Pathoschild (talk) 07:02, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. It seems to be just some unwanted rubbish that was dumped here. The original material is presumably still in the history of the relevant talk page on en, and can be retrieved and userfied on that wiki by anyone who finds it of value. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:19, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Comment Actually, it is excerpts from the talk page moved to Meta to continue the discussion about what should not be allowed to happen in articles: the over-simplification of an article topic splitting into two opposing views, rather than collaborating to present both views within the article. The original events occurred in 2001, and for the next 3 years people added to the discussion on meta. Over-simplification is apparently still an issue on WP - Amgine / [1]] meta 06:19, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

This seems to be a discussion from Wikipedia about an article that has since been deleted, probably predating the last loss of deleted revisions. This has nothing to do with the Foundation or any wiki, with the exception of one probably-deleted article. // Pathoschild (talk) 07:05, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a discussion about Christianity, and has no relation to the Foundation or any wiki. We could archived somewhere on Wikipedia, perhaps w:Christianity. In any case, it doesn't belong on the Meta-Wiki. // Pathoschild (talk) 07:08, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This is an essay about various philosophical fields, and has no relation whatsoever to the Foundation or any wiki. // Pathoschild (talk) 07:14, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a rant about biased media attention in the United States, and has nothing to do with the Foundation or any wiki. // Pathoschild (talk) 07:21, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete. There is plenty of external referenced material on this subject that can be used as a resource, and it seems to have only a glancing relevance to any Wikimedia projects. --Tony Sidaway|Talk 14:22, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

This is a essay which has nothing whatsoever to do with the Foundation or any wiki. If it's notable, it should be moved to Wikisource before deletion. // Pathoschild (talk) 07:26, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

German, a book review or more likely just an outline of a book to be written. IMHO nonsense, author is looking for a place to publish/gather interested parties -> mentioning of the term "wiki". No meta relation, delete. --Mdangers 10:26, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

These category titles are inconsistent—Category:IT also exists.

  • Keep Truly historical page. Pathoschild, jawiktionary was once closed and meta hosted refugees. This page is a part of those exile and attempt to reconstruction. Not the page itself is important, but its history is important. For further information, see wiktionary-l of February 2005. --Aphaia 10:19, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
    Please define the history; a blank page with no information attached (preferable using the standard header) is meaningless and can't be added to the historical project. I'm willing to do so research, but it'd help if you'd write down what you know first. // [admin] Pathoschild (talk/map) 15:20, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
    I claimed 日本語版ウィクショナリーの整備 and its all subpages deserve since histories and diffs of their pages (you can see from "history" tab) indicate how the project had been developped in its very early stage. I don't expect you have a sympathy to those pages as deeply as the Japanese Wiktionary community members, but it is not meaningless for us. I ask you to retrieve your word on the above. Personally I feel disrespected and dishonored. You now declare our attempt to revive an endangered project and its relics "meaningless". --Aphaia 10:30, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
    I apologize for any offense you may have taken over my personal opinion. I do not believe that anyone's efforts are meaningless; however, historical pages are essentially meaningless if the community is not aware of any meaning. The Meta-Wiki does not only belong to Japanese Wiktionarians, just as it does not only belong to English Wikipedians. Pages should not be kept simply because they mean something undefined to a tiny part of the community; on the other hand, I see no reason they can't be kept if their significance is explained for the rest of the community, and they are integrated into the Historical project. // [admin] Pathoschild (talk/map) 05:59, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
    I think I explained on the above. If you are not satisfied, please read related wiktionary-l discussion, and some related pages. I don't expect you delete because my explanation is insufficient to you. Please try to understand the history of community before quesrtion. Meta pages does not only belong to English Wikipedians but we allowed to keep pages which are principally related to them and them alone. I don't understand and agree on that those pages created after lingual divisions need to be "grobal" attention and worthy to keep, but other language pagees not. --Aphaia 02:25, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

    I can only say that the userboxes controversy is popping up here and there. At least it got rather inflamatory debate on bg.wp, although not so hot as after Kelly Martin's action. IM(nsh)O the debate has to be brought on Meta, all arguments to be sorted in order to be readable and understandable, and to come out with a recommendation across all WMF-projects (chances for consensus for a policy a negligibly slim). Actually I am not sure whether this avalance can be stopped, it had to be dealt with years before I joined WP. -- Goldie ± (talk) 17:40, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry for the mass nomination, but I think it makes sense here. This is the list of all politically explicit lists of Wikimedians, which should be deleted, per #Wikimedians who do not support G.W.

  • Delete. No language is foreign to meta. There's a much simpler way to avoid listing potentially good pages for deletion: don't list them. -- Tim Starling 15:03, 28 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I created the template, I basically came across some pages in really obscure languages (like Basque) and was puzzling over whether or not they were relevant to meta. I decided that this was a different checkme. I forgot that Meta is multilingual. My apologies. At the very least a rename is in order. However, I don't agree with the spirit of Tim Starling's comment that the best way to avoid listing potentially listing good pages for deletion is to not list them. That implies that most foreign language pages are good. They aren't. Keke be Kerzıki ra, for instance, would seem, from the translation and the layout, to be totally unrelated to meta. It isn't: it's probably meant to be part of the Zazaki wiki User:Mirzali is pushing for. It seems to me, then, it should be renamed and categorized accordingly. Foreign is the wrong way to put it, but building multilingual infrastructure is difficult! :-) I think this template helps. Ambush Commander 20:55, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Please delete these three images (above). I created them and they did not suit the page I was working on and are incorrect versions. The one that works is now called Image:Hindustaninames.png and is being used on the Wikipedia Encyclopedia Hindustani page. Thank you.

  • Keep It is no image, but an MS-EXCEL file. It was placed under Image-namespace only due to technical restrictions. If it is linked, then it is possible to be linked as a page or image but by its URL, and for the latter case MediaWiki give no way to detect it. All "images but not images at all" type files should be kept unless there is a way to detect if their URL is linked or not. --Aphaia 11:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Unused images

These are not used anywhere. If they are needed because they are linked to, they should be tagged with {{not orphan|[[pages]], [[linking]], [[to it]]}}. If they are historical, they should be used and documented at Meta:Historical. These should only be listed a few at a time so that RFD isn't overwhelmed.

This image isn't used almost except Translation requests page ... and there the proper and official Wikipedia logo is supposed to use, not this version. It changed a look & feel of pages and causes a trouble on translation. --Aphaia 19:36, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

Keep and rename, interesting past logo design. --Pmsyyz 01:17, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
Keep and rename. Why should we delete the part of history? -- mzlla 15:36, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

Keep and rename. +sj | help with translation |+ 01:06, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
So, discussion is now closed. The consensus is "keep and rename". However there is technical difficulties; images cannot be moved as other pages. So the interest to keep "a part of history" may not be fully satisfied. We can save it and uploaded under a different title, and delete the original in purpose of renaming; at that time the history of the original one will be however simply lost.
I am not sure if it is your aim and moreover I am not sure my environment fits to deal with it properly (specially keep the original image resolution). So I would like to leave it for sysops who finds a neat solution. Good luck; --Aphaia 10:14, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
What I have seen done on Commons and elsewhere is to paste a copy of the history of the old image (showing the users and dates) into the description of the new image. Alternatively, there are rumors that image renaming is coming "real soon now"... would it be worth waiting a bit? Hope that helps.++Lar: t/c 02:34, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Unused images

The following files are unused, orphaned, and with no incoming links. Files that are useful should be categorized and linked to; please don't claim vague usefulness unless you can suggest where it is useful. (To keep discussion neat, please place comments under the appropriate header, general discussion just under this paragraph, and comments about a specific image under that image's bullet. Thanks.) —{admin} Pathoschild 02:57, 15 December 2006 (UTC)

LanguageXX pages All of them

These all Language pages are obsolute since 2 years ago or so. For forwarding to right direction, these pages have been kept until now. But I guess they are not needed anymore. It will be a nice cleanup for meta. --Dbl2010 21:39, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Obsolete Hilfeumleitung

A collection of redirects from Help to German help pages in namespace 100 = Hilfe. For the 43 listed obsolete redirects 41 have no backlink at all. Two have only a single irrelevant backlink, the one I recall is Help:Installieren. -- Omniplex (w:t) 11:52, 7 May 2006 (UTC)

Reinserted after it was delisted under "groups", maybe because the title Category:Obsolete Hilfeumleitung was misleading:
Of course the category doesn't exist as long as nobody creates it, but the 43 unused stoneage redirects from Help to Hilfe exist, disturbing Special:Allpages for the Help namespace. -- Omniplex (w:t) 22:04, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
The 43 redirects were killed using the WM:DP speedy procedure. -- Omniplex (w:t) 07:38, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
