Some notes

Tom Ford Beauty - a spam article that lasted two years
Why was Category:Pollution in Category:Popular culture? OK, some art is visual pollution and AC/DC sung about noise pollution but that is no reason for including it! Maybe the editor thought that all popular culture is pollution.[3]
{{Show by date}} - a clever template
{{NZ Public Service Departments}} - a footer template that has padding

Why had the Criminal Abortion article lasted for two years on WP? The merge and poorly written content is copied here:

When abortion is not done in accordance with the existing law of the land, it is said to be a case of criminal abortion. Women who resort to this kind of abortion are generally unmarried young girls and widows. Methods used are crude and dangerous and may result in very high mortality of women.^[1]
