[edit] Pale raw umber

I am nominating this page as an example of all the color stubs that should be deleted. There is nothing contained in this article that is not mentioned in the List of colors. This is not a nomination of any color article that contains even a sentence more information than is given in the list of colors. God of War 01:31, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Delete duplicate information. Who would look this up under this term anyway? KillerChihuahua?!? 18:49, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Extended to all pale color stubs:

Pale bright green, Pale Denim, Pale mint green, Pale ochre, Pale olive, Pale olive drab, Pale orange, Pale pink-lavender, Pale sea green, Pale Turquoise, Pale Wisteria and Pale Yellow.

  • Delete, we don't need articles about colors of things we have articles about, we need pictures. Gazpacho 01:54, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Color pictures? (grin) ...If we wanted pictures about colors of things we have articles about, we could just define a rectangle of color "pale raw umber". Or show a color picture of a Crayola box in each of 64 articles. Delete per nomination, and delete similar articles which aren't expanded by end of AfD period. Barno 02:17, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Keep. In its current state the article is obviously not useful, but if someone could find even a few sentances to add about the color or places it is used it could potentially be worth keeping. I'm inclined to keep the color stubs in hopes that someone will expand them. Admittedly, this particular example will probably never be expanded, so I can't support my intuition very strongly.
  • Delete Can never expand beyond an illustrated dicdef. (ESkog)(Talk) 03:01, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, the vast majority of colors are completely nonnotable. Tuf-Kat 05:06, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete, this is a web color that isn't specifically important to the color wheel. Any colors that are solely webcolors probably can't be made into articles. Lotusduck 05:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Fake color articles and Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Pale blue-purple for where this has been discussed before. Uncle G 06:46, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete This afd should be extended to all the "pale" color articles - Pale bright green, Pale Denim, Pale mint green, Pale ochre, Pale olive, Pale olive drab, Pale orange, Pale pink-lavender, Pale sea green, Pale Turquoise, Pale Wisteria and Pale Yellow. Pale is a subjective term and cant really be defined other that its lighter than the main color -- Astrokey44|talk 09:15, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. --Terence Ong 10:36, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per above Werdna648T/C\@ 12:55, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete as per ESkog. Sliggy 14:23, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per everybody. KillerChihuahua?!? 18:50, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak Delete: I don't think the article is particularly useful unless there is something interesting about that particular colour. For example, hypothetically, 'Pale Green' is the official colour use to paint NHS Hospital corridors.GoldenTie 20:37, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I think you'll find that's called Frating Green. - Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 16:47, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom.Obina 22:33, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete all per Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not infinite as applied to colours ;) Zunaid 13:57, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete do I need to come all the way to Wikipedia to find out that pale raw umber is a pale version of raw umber? I could probbaly find it in me to support a single table of colours, but even that is probably best left to the paint manufacturers. Just zis  Guy, you know? [T]/[C] AfD? 16:46, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete en masse. Wikipedia is not a painters' gallery. Stifle 23:41, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete we don't need it and extend to all pale color stubs Dakota ~ ε 07:15, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
