Fantastic that you don't need the article. I'm sure you also don't really need this article: https://www.wikihow.com/Tie-Your-Shoes

Have you considered that there might be people who would find that article on "being random" interesting or helpful? Consider just for a moment, the perspective of someone who isn't what we'd call "neuro-typical" - someone with an ASD, for example. Such an article might be incredibly useful to them.

But hell, if you feel that strongly: https://www.wikihow.com/Nominate-an-Article-for-Deletion-on-...

I have ASD and while I've never had any reason to visit "How to Be Random", I've had plenty of use for similar articles on wikiHow. This even extends beyond the social arena one might imagine I'd need help with. Other topics people with developmental disorders might face difficulties with are exactly the topics handled by wikiHow. Washing clothes, for instance. While saying the wikiHow has been formative of me would probably be over the top, it has guided me when I didn't have the mental capacity to seek help elsewhere.

I find the content and art on the site really cute and heartwarming and occasionally useful, so thanks! There are so many memes on Twitter that use a funny wikiHow image.
