Interesting, thanks! Yes I did mean policy links used to justify !votes in
deletion discussions. In the Dutch Wikipedia they use "NE" for
not-encyclopedic, but other more troublesome abbreviations such as "woman
with job" for a biography about a woman possibly submitted by the subject
herself (though this is often not the case). So I was fishing for something
like the phrase "does not meet notability guidelines" or "WP:ANYBIO" or
anything like that. A friend put together a short set of "rules" as a
handout to newbies, and others have asked for the magic list of things to
check that predict an article's "Stick-around-liklihood" and it occurred to
me to check the frequency of the reasons why stuff gets deleted.
