You have to love a Wikipedia page bearing the goofy warning label: "This page contains material that is kept because it is considered humorous . Please do not take it seriously." That's how the brilliant Wikipedia:Deleted articles with freaky titles begins. It continues, in part: "As to this page's title, consider it a mild addition to the collection of "freaky" titles â the real reason for it was just so that it abbreviates to DAFT . Bewildering titles, bizarre titles, and surreal titles â all are equally fair game."
Here are 12 of my favorite freaky Wikipedia pages that somebody created, then Wikipedians helpfully deleted.
" The article itself was completely blank, but the talk page just read 'my dad'."
" Should have been INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY. " (Um, actually there is an INTERNATIONAL CAPS LOCK DAY .)
" ...but apparently not in Africa. "
" (later recreated as a redirect to Russell's paradox , now gone again.) "
"Was a redirect to Sun ."
" The page said 'The following is a comprehensive List of puddles in the World: 1. The one outside my house 2. The big on to the East of the USA'"
" This was a redirect to the Darth Vader article. "
" Which purportedly meant 'something that rises on a scale.' "
No comment provided explaining deletion. The page was deleted in March 2011.
" Formerly a redirect to Little Red-Haired Girl . "
" Single sentence. 'Because the bamboo will grow through you... resulting in Death .' "
" ... a most perilous disorder wherein the subject (wikiphobe) holds dear an irrational fear or distrust for Wikipedia "
So I heard you liked Deleted articles with freaky titles . You might also enjoy the Wikipedia humor page, notably Articles for deletion/Cattle (marked for deletion multiple times for lacking sufficient cowbell).
