Hufflepuff Domitories
Pointless, one sentence, poorly written page. Dormitories isn't even spelled right. No relevant information.Ravenmaster 07:43, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

This article is very poorly written that even sweet Helga Hufflepuff be angry.-Hp7

Mediwizard
First, it should be healer, and second, it has basicly no content.Chris Chaud 19:13, 13 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Your wrong. There is a difference between a Healer and a Mediwizard. A Healer works at St.Mungos, while a Mediwizard is a field doctor. For example, at the Quidditch Game, and at the first challenge of the Tri Wizard cup. Just because it has almost no content, doesn't mean we should delete it. If you want a encylopedia, you need everything. If you delete this, then your encylopedia is no complete. It can be merged with healer, if you think thats a good idea.

Curse of the Bogies
The article has no content, aside from the author saying that he doesn't know what the curse does (duh). I don't think there is even such a curse listed in the books. If someone can confirm this as the Bat-Bogey Hex, a redirect and write-up on said hex should be in order. The  Chosen  One  (Choose me!) 08:26, 25 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not even useful as a redirect. The Bat-Bogey Hex has never been called "Curse of the Bogies."  bibliomaniac 15 23:42, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

Cho Chang and Harry Potter
This article could be merged with Cho Chang and Harry Potter if verifable.

Harry Potter & Cho Chang
This article could be merged with Cho Chang and Harry Potter if verifable.

Harry Potter News
I'm certainly annoyed that Manticore tagged this for deletion! It's rather obvious to me that material newly released about the series or fandom needs a place to be reported...and where better?--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 03:03, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Harry Potter News is posted on the main page. Lemniwinks

Moldymort
THIS IS A PIECE OF NONSENSE!!!WHO EVER HEARD OF A HARRY POTTER BOOK 8!!!!!!

Yeah Moldymort should be deleted even the guy who made this article said this was fake.-Hp7

Dragon-Pox

This article should be deleted or rewritten it says that this disease occurs usually on old people but Horace Slughorn said that it was surprising that Abraxas had this disease-User:Hp7

Batty Fuck Complete idiotical nonsense nuff said-Hp7

Pantalonius Poopicus This is made up this is not a real spell it says there that it causes your enmy to "soil" himself-Hp7

Recent deletion tags to images
Recently, an anon has listed several image files with deletion tags for lack of copyright information. Can we just provide the information if known and remove the tags? Obviously some of the pictures are promotional images or screencaps and can be listed as such, but I didn't want to just go ahead with it and remove deletion tags since this is usually considered as vandalism. Alternatively, we can reupload the images with proper copyright tags. Needless to say, we would lose some high quality images if they were deleted, and I don't think we want that to happen. - Cavalier One 07:20, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

c. 1951?
There has been a deletion candidacy placed on C. 1951 citing as reason "already have 1951" but "1951" is just a redirect to 1950s. If we're not going to create individual year articles in that decade then the redirects should be to 1950s...I do think that both a c. 1951 and a 1951 article would be overkill,the link should be "c. 1951" where there is some doubt as to an event's occurring in exactly that year.--Louis E./le@put.com/12.144.5.2 05:25, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree, I felt that the article was overkill. If 1951 is the year we think it happened in it should just be placed in the 1951 article. The reason there is no seperate 1951 article right now is cause there isn't enough information so its just grouped into a decade. We probably should create seperate articles for each year, I think it's two seperate issues then and C. 1951 should still be deleted. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 21:36, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Glacius challenge, Black deeds challenge
We may be many things, a wiki, an encyclopedia, a community of HP-lovers, but one thing we are not is a repository for walkthroughs or cheats for Harry Potter games, no matter how engrossing, interesting, or graphically advanced they may be. The  Chosen  One  (Choose me!) 17:59, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed..I believe its more suited for the Harry Potter Fanon then here..-- Cometstyles 19:39, 29 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, well put! But yes, if anyone wants cheats or walkthroughs they should go to a site specifically for cheats and walkthroughs rather than a miscellaneous information site. --Littlesparrow 12:57, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Alrighty-o, I don't think anybody will oppose, other than the fans who posted the stuff in the first place. I have edited the policy page to include game cheats and walkthroughs in the "Delete on Sight" list - admins, please take note. Any objections, please post in the CommPortal. So, here goes (and there's another walkthrough about the crumple retraction challenge something or other, will get that too). The  Chosen  One  (Choose me!) 15:43, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Wotcher
I have recently placed a delete tag on this article and wish to open a discussion around it. Does it deserve its own article as a slang term? Or should we create a Slang page and place all known slang into it? - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 07:19, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm thinking that maybe we should keep this one. After all there should be room in this wiki for even the smallest pieces of the HP universe. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 12:46, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * See, the only thing is that "Wotcher" (or some variation thereof eg. "Wotcha") is quite common to some British folk such as myself as a greeting. It is not HP specific.  If we allow Wotcher to remain, we should expand and create Blimey, Crikey, Sod, and all the other little British words from the book.  And if we do that, then we could umbrella the whole page under something like "British terminology". -  Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 10:09, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Didn't know that. Remove it. -- DarkJedi613 (Talk) 13:22, 10 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think we need page here on it. We could redirect those pages to a page that is a soft redirect to the Wikipedia article (en:wp:British slang). John Reaves (talk) 18:32, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Stupefius Maximus
Okay, I can find no canon evidence in the books, films or games for this spell. I even looked through the HP Lexicon's list of spells for it and found nothing. Can anyone provide a source for it? If not, it will be deleted. - Cavalier One ( Wizarding Wireless Network ) 07:29, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
