Add links to stupid, incorrect, or otherwise unwanted page titles to the list below so an admin person can find them, check to see that they are indeed not legitimate pages, and delete them. If the content of a page-to-be-deleted exists on some different page, please indicate that, somehow, on the page-to-be-deleted (either by redirecting it to the correctly titled page, or, better for our purposes, putting in a link to it). To facilitate checking that a "page title to be deleted" really ought to be deleted, please don't redirect such pages to [[page titles to be deleted]].

'''Please review [[Wikipedia policy on permanent deletion of pages]] before adding to this page.''' In the past, about half of the titles added to this page ''were not'' deleted. In particular, do not add article names to this list that might in the future become articles. There's no reason to delete those. Also, please don't list pages on this page that can easily and sensibly be redirected to another page. E.g., a page called [[Hume]] can be easily and sensibly redirected to [[David Hume]]; [[presidant]] (a misspelling) can be redirected to [[president]]; etc. (Even misspellings can be caught by search engines and provide Wikipedia perfectly relevant traffic!)
