*[[André Dumontagne]] - no references, should be a speedy
*[[Andvakaar]] - no references, should be a speedy
*[[Main series]] - useless, technically contains no references, could
be redirected to [[Dancemania]] I suppose, but it's not even properly
capitalised.  I'm sure we could come up with some sort of speedy
criterion for this crap.  Even if not, I wouldn't hesitate to delete
it anyway if I was an admin (guess this is one of the reasons I'm
not).  I guess I'll admit I don't have a perfect solution for this,
though AFD is not a particularly good one either.  I just noticed it
was made 5 October 2005, by an anon.
*[[John Fullerton]] - move to User:Johnfullerton or keep (I didn't
even bother looking at it), neither require AFD.
*[[Narniaism]] - no references
*[[Datacomsys]] - no references, not in English, probably a copyvio
(speedy, transwiki and speedy, list on copyright problems or speedy,
accordingly, none of which require AFD)
*[[Übersexual]] - redirect somewhere.  not [[human sexuality]],
there's probably something more specific; if not, create an article to
talk about metrosexuality/ubersexuality/etc and merge [[metrosexual]]
there too as it is currently a dictionary definition.  None of this
requires AFD.
*[[Cilek]] no references
*[[Overnightscape]] [[The Overnightscape]] - keep
*[[Rockman Resurrection]] - no references
*[[List of people who resisted the Holocaust]] - list; resurrect
[[wp:lists for deletion]]
*[[Ben Humphrey]] - keep
*[[Paige Craig]] - keep

Should I go on?  AFD is nothing more than a collossal waste of time,
in my opinion.
