Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tomato (color)


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or on a Votes for Undeletion nomination).  No further edits should be made to this page.  

The result of the debate was REDIRECT to Tomato. This is the only one of these that is at all difficult to call. We're just about over two-thirds to delete on numbers, and I don't honestly understand why people think this is useful as a redirect given the vast unlikeliness of anybody thinking to search for it, parentheses and all. However, given how clear the other debates were, and the vascillation by Tim Pope, I'll say there's not outright consensus to delete and will apply the redirect. RfD may feel differently if someone wants to try that. -Splash talk 18:27, 6 October 2005 (UTC)

Tomato (color)
All of the colour articles were subject to a blanket AfD here. This was closed as a delete all, although the talk page for that AfD was tabulated otherwise. VfU opted to undelete all the articles and give them seperate AfDs (see the bottom of VfU for my reasoning on this). So here they are. If you wish to make a blanket comment on these articles please copy paste your comment into each &mdash; do not expect the closer to extrapolate your intent in these exceptional circumstances. Thank you. No comment from me. -Splash talk 00:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to tomato, which has plenty of info on the color of tomatoes. -- BD2412 talk 00:46, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. There isn't even any content in this article; the RGB components are listed as question marks.  --Quintin3265 00:51, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to X11 color names, where this one is referenced. Pilatus 00:58, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * I would be satisfied with that redirect as well. -- BD2412 talk 01:05, 30 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Redirect to tomato, which talks about what colors they are. Jonathunder 06:38, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Redirect to tomato. The color given was wrong anyway. My tomato was much redder. - Mgm|(talk) 08:59, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete and do not redirect, since it would make the impression, that this colour is in use. feydey 09:12, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete last time around I said merge if sourced, but there is still no source --TimPope 16:45, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * … or redirect as per Pilatus. --TimPope 16:47, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Where did all these "colors" come from? --Optichan 19:41, 30 September 2005 (UTC)
 * There are millions of distinguishable colors; this source says seven to ten million of them. And if we don't nip this in the bud, someone is going to try to write an article on every single one of them. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * My (imperfect) recall is that humans can distinguish 16 million colours; in any case, there far too many to warrant this type of article. Delete. Sliggy 12:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Per TimPope. Contains no information not implicit in its title. Dpbsmith (talk) 00:37, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete meaningful-content-free color articles. I just voted to delete 8 color articles, and all I got was this T-Shirt! MCB 00:48, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete Silly, meaningless color articles--Sean Jelly Baby? 21:16, 1 October 2005 (UTC)
