Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/March 1
I agree with what Ohconfucius wrote above. Well said. I would suggest though, that these articles not be truly “deleted,” but temporarily placed in non-article space so they may be picked through for data to use for expanding articles like August 2003 or August 1, 2003. I think it was a colossal violation of Wikipedia policy (|WP:Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information) to have created ‘on this date throughout history’ articles in the first place as they are nothing more than beyond-worthless trivia and ''far'' too few readers take the time to wade (muck) through them. And when you consider the fact that their contents were virtually '''''never'''''&thinsp; germane to the article from which they were linked, it’s doubly wrong that editors linked to them for so long
