Cemeteries of Villages in Eastern Slovakia

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

I nominate this page with WP:NOT in mind. This is simply a list of cemeteries in Slovakia without wikilinks. -- Matthew Glennon (T/C\D) 19:21, 21 December 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment. The article was written in 2006, and remained virtually untouched for 3 years since. It's possible that one or more of these cemeteries might end up with an article, if sources and historical data can support the idea that the site is notable. But, in this form, there isn't much to go on. I see some name matches on google, but I'm limited in my ability to evaluate non-english sources, unfortunately. I also took the liberty of notifying the original author that the article was at AFD; since they have not edited since 2006, it might not matter except for form's sake.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete This is an odd case, as this stand-alone list does not appear to be an actual list of links. As such, WP:SAL may not apply at all. However, I think there are policy-grounded reasons for deletion, as this list violates WP:NOTDIRECTORY as listcruft. Why is it listcruft? "The list was created just for the sake of having such a list," "the list is of interest to a very limited number of people, and "the list is a violation of Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information."

 * Delete. Lists of cemeteries are acccepted on Wikipedia. But this page lists the names on the gravestones in 5 villages in alphabetical order, B-C, suggesting that this was somebody's unfinished little project. Grave markers are primary sources, so this page is inappropriate for an encyclopedia. Abductive  (reasoning) 05:13, 29 December 2009 (UTC)
