Trocadero (name origin)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Completing nomination on behalf of an anonymous editor, who provided no rationale. The article itself has no sources, and indeed no defined topic - it's not about a specific Torcadero, or a specific use of the name. This article was forked in 2007, as a result of Trocadero becoming a disambiguation page. The origins of the name are discussed at Trocadero, however, which makes this non-specific article redundant. The only incoming link to this article is from that disamb page. Based on all that, I believe this can be deleted without the loss of any information.

 * Delete per nomination. It's hard to imagine that this would be the page where any reader would go for this information, as the Trocadero page is the obvious choice. I created this page in 2007, just to unburden the dab page, and it seems superfluous now. Chris the speller   yack  14:50, 14 February 2018 (UTC)
 * I'm the nominating IP. Wikipedia did not allowed me to continue with the process by creating this page, so I just went away. I suggest you fix the process. - 91.10.6.125 (talk) 00:58, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
 * It has been a longstanding practice not to let anonymous editors create pages. This is meant for articles, because it is easy to create a massive number of articles very rapidly, and that could be abused. But it also extends to project pages like this one. That is why we have systems like WP:BADAFD, which flags AFDs that haven't been completed yet. Most of those are like yours. So I and others will complete them for you, or ask for your reasoning and do it that way. I understand that it's inconvenient, but the alternative isn't really an option. Thanks for nominating this article. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 13:22, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
