Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/HTML codes
Appearance
HTML codes (> and <)
The two pages > and < can't be linked to - typing [[>]] renders as [[>]] with no link - and they don't turn up in a search either. The information in the articles is in the XML article, and these pages are therefore unneeded on their own, and won't serve as redirects either. sjorford (talk) 17:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Keep disambigs are cheap, and I came across the page, so it's reasonable to think that others might too -- that's why I created them. I don't see any reason to delete them. --Quasipalm 17:44, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- But from what I can tell the only way you can get to those pages (and the way you created them) is by directly typing in the URLs. Normally I would have turned a page like this into a redirect, but having unlinkable titles like this is a Bad Thing, because it makes them unmaintainable. sjorford (talk) 18:29, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- What's unmaintainable about them? --Quasipalm 21:38, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- The notice on the articles is erroneous. These are not disambiguation articles. Uncle G 19:18, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

- True, but the point is that if someone didn't understand what the code means to beging with, they would look it up. They wouldn't know to go to that list. How does a user get from this code to that page without finding a first link on the chain, so to speak? --Quasipalm 23:16, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
- Comment: As a matter of fact, they can be linked to like this: [[>]], [[<]]. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 23:56, 11 December 2005 (UTC)
