Here are some of my contributions to the Great Palimpsest (but I don't do a very good job updating this list):

Deletions

This user is a member of the Association of Wikipedians Who Dislike Making Broad Judgments About the Worthiness of a General Category of Article, and Who Are in Favor of the Deletion of Some Particularly Bad Articles, but That Doesn't Mean They Are Deletionists Est omnino difficile iudicare inclusionis meritum cuiusdam rei in encyclopædia cum ratio sciendi quid populi referat incerta sit, sed nihilominus aliquid encyclopædiam dedecet It is generally difficult to judge the worthiness of a particular topic for inclusion in an encyclopedia considering that there is no certain way to know what interests people, but some topics nevertheless are not fit for an encyclopedia. This motto reflects the desire of these Wikipedians to be reluctant, but not entirely unwilling, to remove articles from Wikipedia.

This is a list of pages created by other users which I have nominated for deletion. The vast majority of these are redirects.

Successful deletion nominations (this does not include proposed deletions or undiscussed speedy deletions, of which Wikipedia keeps no record). A few (and fortunately only a few) were not deleted with a link to the deletion discussion page, so if you're curious, you will have to do some digging. Most of these are redirects:

Successful deletion nominations that have subsequently been recreated (some of which I agree with, some of which I do not):

Unsuccessful deletion nominations:

Self-withdrawn deletion nominations:

This user despises nonsensical camel-case (such as JapaN), possessive redirects (India's), mainspace subpage redirects, and redirects ending in periods (Wikipedia.). Unfortunately these are hard ones to quash.
