Overview

[edit]

The list below shows deleted pages (that have not been recreated) in the main namespace with the greatest number of incoming links from the main namespace. It shows the top 250 entries only (of approximately 80,000). It was generated on Wikimedia labs by TB (talk) 07:54, 20 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Relevant policy/guidelines

[edit]
  • (A) - Wikipedia:Red_link#Dealing with existing red links - "a plausible red link might be to driving in Bangladesh, since an article on driving in the United States exists, and country-specific driving articles like these are a likely area for future creation"
  • (B) - Wikipedia:Deletion policy#Copyright violations - deletion of an article for copyright violation does not attest to the un-notability of that subject.
  • (C) - Article deleted as spam/gibberish with no comment as to it's notability. It would seem an article being 'so bad that deletion is a net gain for Wikipedia' is not as high a bar as one would think.
  • (D) - Article deleted (AfD, PROD or CSD) with prejudice.
  • (E) - Article deleted (AfD, PROD or CSD) without prejudice.
