I'm currently deleting entries with no content and no links to them and I found a rather 'interesting' stub.

It's gone...
I hope you added it to Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense (http://www.wikipedia.com/wiki/wikipedia%3ABad+jokes+and+other+deleted+nonse nse)
Alas it didn't occur to me! Or rather it did, but I couldn't remember what the page name was where that junk went... somebody obviously made it as a joke, but there were a lot more that were deliberate and crude vandalism :(
I was very busy yesterday deleting empty pages and correcting poor disabled redirects and deleting vandalised entries with no other content, history or links... I really fail to see why some people find it funny to take a blank entry and write an obscenity in it. There were at least a dozen of them in the first page of the stub list...
BTW, the 'delete this page' option is very handy in the stub and orphan list... but I really doubt that it belongs in the 'long articles' listing. It's rather dangerous! I doubt that the people who wrote treatises on various things would like to see them casually deleted by a passer-by or a troll...
