List of bohemians
This list is highly subjective. The only article that links to it is Bohemianism, which states "...many of the most talented European and American literary figures of the last century and a half have had a bohemian cast, so that a list of bohemians would be tediously long." If it can be expanded it may have some merit, but I don't see how this could happen. Scott Burley 04:02, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subjective, and indeed, going to be quite tediously long. Johnleemk | Talk 15:11, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:54, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Subjective. Some of those people wouldn't have been happy to be so designated, perhaps. (Also, no clear DAB for someone actually from or living in Bohemia).Fire Star 14:38, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Satheesh
Vanity page created by an anon. &rarr;Raul654 05:53, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * For such a well-educated person, he's a bit unclear on the concept, eh? Delete. - Lucky 6.9 05:59, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think we can delete this one. &mdash;Stormie 06:04, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * but ... he created a MOSQUITO REPELLENT -- DELETE -- Chris 73 | Talk 06:14, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Wikipedia is not a collection of CVs. Andris 06:18, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete resume/CV/vanity. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 08:18, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I accept u friends.u may delete that page.But in future wikipedia can make a section for the presentation of CVs - satheesh.
 * Perhaps we will. But in the meantime, this doesn't really fit our role--see What Wikipedia is not.  No hard feelings, though. Meelar 13:25, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Template:TaipeiSC
It's not relevant at the Houston article that San Salvador is also a sister city of Taipei. --Jiang 05:56, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Do we really need something like this? I don't think so.  Delete.  blankfaze | &#8226;�&#8226; 21:55, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep. It no longer links to any article other than Taipei, which is relevant, and could also be useful to a holistic list of sister and twined cities. I created the message boxes after a week in which I had a total of 9 hours sleep due to prolonged severe weather. Linking them to all of the cities was not a good idea but after less than three hours of sleep each day for a week, bad ideas are bound to happen. JCarriker 20:25, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC))
 * If it's linked only at one place, then the point of having a template is defeated. --Jiang 21:00, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete and I created the template. -JCarriker 23:18, Jun 10, 2004 (UTC)
 * The box has been copied directly into Taipei and is now orphaned. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:29, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

ObjectWeb
From Cleanup: ObjectWeb - unwikfied ad (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)
 * Delete - advert - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:50, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Agree. Axe this.  blankfaze | &#8226;�&#8226; 22:02, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * It's had plenty of time to be made not-an-ad. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:32, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's an obvious ad Peterb12 23:59, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Bigfiber
From Cleanup: Bigfiber - ad (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)
 * Delete - advert - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:46, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, advert. &mdash;Stormie 00:15, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)

Box Battling
From Cleanup: Box Battling - "Box Battling is an underground sport which was developed in Berkeley, California in November, 2003" not notable. (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)
 * 95 google hits for neologism . Delete. Meelar 13:20, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I can't get the external link to work either. Rmhermen 13:42, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * It just worked for me, and their hit counter read 1350. Meelar 13:55, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep - Not what you'd see in the averge encyclopedia, but... - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:45, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, I guess. Now I want to actually try this... Rhymeless 19:16, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep?! They have no relevant google hits, and one website which has about 1,000 hits! There's no way this is notable. Meelar 20:43, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Non-notable newly invented sport. Andris 21:29, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I seem to remember we deleted an article for some other recently created sport awhile back.  I'm gonna go with that precedent.  blankfaze | &#8226;�&#8226; 22:01, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Vanity. &rarr;Raul654 02:54, Jun 9, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - vanity. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 22:10, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Less elegant than rhythmic gymnastics, but more of a sport. Delete until it makes it as a demo Olympic sport or Fox picks it up. Denn i 02:56, 2004 Jun 9 (UTC)
 * Delete, idiosyncratic, vanity, nonnotable. When Fox picks it up we'll have an article. Sounds like a lot of fun! Wile E. Heresiarch 03:11, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * LOL! It does sound like a lot of fun.  Still, delete.  SWAdair | Talk  03:21, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Yo, sign me up when this hits Comedy Central! Delete with a smile in the meantime, - Lucky 6.9 16:40, 10 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Sounds like a sport made up by some college students, or something like that.  I could write a similar, if less detailed, article on Quoblinball.  I'll refrain though.  Isomorphic 03:44, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * You guys are no fun. Personally, I'd love to hear more about Quoblinball. As for Box Battling, I'll be sorry to see it go. Maybe someone can create an article about New sports as an excuse to link to this and others (such as Quoblinball, and the various real-life versions of Quidditch and Calvinball that people have tried to play).--Woggly 06:36, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Burkay
From Cleanup: Burkay - we don't include last names (moved from Cleanup by SimonP)
 * Delete. Johnleemk | Talk 15:10, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:39, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Eeeeeeew. Delete, with... MALICE.  blankfaze | &#8226;�&#8226; 22:04, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Vocabulary builder
Advertisement, delete. - DropDeadGorgias (talk) 17:59, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:38, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Keep, but remove spam, or add competing links. Meelar 18:39, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Looks very non-notable. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 21:45, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * What would it take to keep? Replace the word "software" with "method," remove spam, rename the article, make sections expounding on each method... and it would still be not much more than a "how-to" article.  All because someone wanted to advertise.  Nope.  Delete.  SWAdair | Talk  03:47, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * You're right, somebody can start from scratch if they start an article. Meelar 13:34, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Limehead
Band vanity page (zero google hits for it) mixed with patent nonsense. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 21:41, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I wish we could speedy delete these things. Delete ASAP.  blankfaze | &#8226;�&#8226; 22:17, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Really bad vanity page. Delete.  SWAdair | Talk  05:04, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete as both non-notable and as patent nonsense. Not funny enough for BJAODN, IMO. - Lucky 6.9 05:27, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Fire Star 14:39, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Excrutiating mixture of the really bad, the really boring and the completely inappropriate. Rossrs 08:20, 13 Jun 2004 (UTC)

Karl Dayson
Some kid who says he's in a band. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 21:41, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * According to the extenal link, the band Dropout has had 7 small gigs, 1 cancelled gig, no recordings. The other external, for the band 88 Precautions, has no content other than "Site under construction."  The only Google hit for "Karl Dayson" is a post he wrote to a message board.  Delete.  SWAdair | Talk  04:14, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete, unpublished bands with few gigs aren't notable. Meelar 13:41, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)

List of American recipes
Not a list of recipes but a list of food items. A list of recipies links to wikibooks (And therefore does not belong here). short and orphaned --Jiang 00:24, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)


 * They aren't even all distinctly American. At least one (Mincemeat tart) is something I've never even heard in US usage. Articles on food topics should link directly to wikibooks recipes as appropriate, which leaves the list as a simple incomplete categorization. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 01:21, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * What in the name of all that's sane is "pickle pie?" Delete. - Lucky 6.9 06:48, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Silly you. You take pickles, roll-mop herring, and extra-aged cheddar cheese, and coarse-chop them in a blender for thirty seconds. Add two raw eggs and spices to taste and blend at low for an additional thirty seconds. Pour the mixture into a regular pie shell and bake untopped at 175°C for about 45 minutes or until the cheese crust is golden brown. Invite over a whole bunch of people who you don't like and serve warm. I am, of course, making this up as I go. What in the name of all that's sane is a pickle pie? Denn i 01:42, 2004 Jun 12 (UTC)

Terence Finnegan
Blanked by 129.215.16.12 who is the only author of the page, which is presumably a request for deletion. Also, appears to be non-famous, so delete. Angela. 09:44, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * I say delete too.. I am highly suspicious of the claim that this guy "published algorithm rendering the RSA computer encryption algorithm insecure".. without there being a single google hit for "Terence Finnegan" and "RSA". &mdash;Stormie 11:33, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. I am very suspicious too. Andris 14:08, Jun 8, 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete - T&#949;x  &#964;  ur&#949;  18:51, 8 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Someone's blanked the page. That's good enough for me to vote delete. - Lucky 6.9 05:23, 9 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * Delete. Looks like a joke. Andrewa 12:14, 11 Jun 2004 (UTC)
 * If he had made RSA insecure, people would have heard of him. Delete. -- Cyrius|&#9998; 05:31, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)
