List of deleted Wikipedia pages with peculiar titles
This page contains material that is considered humorous. Such material is not meant to be taken seriously.ShortcutsWP:DAFWP:DAFWP:DAFTWP:DAFTWP:DAWFTWP:DAWFTWP:FREAKWP:FREAKWP:FREAKYWP:FREAKY
Strange titles are rarely added to Wikipedia under the guise of real encyclopedia articles. Occasionally, Wikipedians lose their minds (especially on April Fool's Day) and if their posts are good they wind up here. Silliness can come in the form of creativity, insanity, or just boredom. As with other "silly things", often it seems a shame to delete the best of this humor which has been submitted to us.
Unlike bad jokes and other deleted nonsense, however, some of these article names were made for good reasons, on real topics that the writers thought might be useful for Wikipedia. That doesn't always mean that – out of context – the title will be any the less ridiculous-sounding.
If you find an article with a strange title up for deletion at WP:AFD, consider this page. If you do add it to the list, simply put it in its correct alphabetical place. Please don't link it – it'll only encourage them.
As to this page's title, consider it a mild addition to the collection of "freaky" titles – the real reason for it was just so that it abbreviates to DAFT. Bewildering titles, bizarre titles, and surreal titles – all are equally fair game.

Notes for adding titles to this page[edit]
A small note of explanation is OK, but please do not sign it – this isn't a talk page.
This is for articles or redirects that really existed on Wikipedia which have been deleted – provide proof of the deletion if you can, generally in the form of an XFD discussion page (AFD debates can be quite humorous themselves) or deletion log entry (for articles deleted before December 2004; see also the Wikipedia:Deletion log).
If a title, or a slight modification of it, has been recreated either as an article or redirect, it should be removed from this list.
Don't stuff beans up your nose. Do not wikilink article titles.
Don't glorify vandalism. If an article title was clearly and unquestionably the work of a vandal, or was speedy deleted as a G3, G5, or G10, it's better off forgotten.
Don't notify police on the crimes you commit. In other words, making something that would be DAFT, then getting it deleted, then reporting it here, is hands-down idiotic. We're assuming an infinite number of monkeys with an infinite number of typewriters are out there making article names with the hopes that, if one of them is DAFT enough, a user will find it and put it here. Let the chips fall where they may; don't dump them on the floor.

Ç‹¬ç‰¹è§Â解 and Ç‹¬ç‰¹è§ÂÂ解[1]
The result of repeatedly encoding "Ç‹¬ç‰¹è§è§£" in UTF-8 and then decoding it as Windows-1252.

The only plausible correction of this mojibake is from UTF-8 to x-mac-thai "ร์โ«นยฌรงโ«ฐยนรจยงรจยงยฃ", which is semantically meaningless in Thai, and at any rate is still somewhat mojibaked when converted from the then-Wikipedian ISO-8859-1 into the also-meaningless "ว
