[edit] IDoTheWondering.blogspot.com

not notable blog. For some reason, though, lots of user pages appear to be linking to it, and if I understand it correctly, that was the reason it was created in the first place. How does that work? JoanneB 14:30, 27 August 2005 (UTC)

  • Maybe there's some kind of bug in the wiki software? I can't actually find any links to this from the pages that are supposedly linking to it. Anyway, it seems entirely non-notable; just one of a zillion personal blogs out there (badly formatted with nearly unreadable font size and color), with no reason to give it any particular attention. Delete. *Dan* 14:43, August 27, 2005 (UTC)
  • I was just trying to work this out; for some reason, the database appears to have become corrupted in such a way that a couple of dozen links show up as backlinks for this unlikely page; seemingly, these are actually links pointing to Wikipedia:Community portal - a couple of redirect pages showed up, which have no other outward links (Wikipedia:Yellow Pages, Wikipedia:Doorway pages). Unsurprisingly, null edits (which cause the software to update its links tables) remove things from the Whatlinkshere list, but how they got there in the first place I've no idea. Oh, and I agree with delete for non-notability. - IMSoP 14:48, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Advertisement... No reason for it to exist... Delete. --Polaralex 14:55, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete, but all the linking pages need a blank save to remove them from the Whatlinkshere page. Flowerparty talk 15:06, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Hi. I created the page. Now I have realised that the only reason why a lot of pages linked to it is because somebody had been doing spamming. I totally support its deletion --Heebiejeebieclub 18:57, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
    • Actually, it seems not to have been spamming, but a software bug. Either way, though, thanks for commenting. - IMSoP 17:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete as above, and now with new as per author statement!  RasputinAXP  talk * contribs 19:01, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Provisional keep until the devs figure out what on Earth is causing the whatlinkshere bug. After that, delete. --Titoxd 22:09, 27 August 2005 (UTC)
    • There's no need to keep the page just to investigate the backlinks - they were in the database before the page was created (hence it showed up on Special:Wantedpages or wherever), and will continue to be there after it's gone. - IMSoP 17:12, 28 August 2005 (UTC)
  • Delete It almost appears the user that created this page, also created this page Tammy Hart for the same reason-people linking to it? Srcrowl 04:54, August 28, 2005 (UTC)
    • Well yes, I just work m way through the "Wanted" list --Heebiejeebieclub 18:16, 29 August 2005 (UTC)
