The Harappan Metropolis
It's mentioned on Wikipedia, but there is no article or explaining what it is.
When there is no Wikipedia article, you get no Wikipedia link when you do a search.
Compare with light saber, something that doesn't actually exist.
Pink disease (mercury poisoning) and William A. Hammond
Hammond was the Surgeon General in 1863 and knew good and damn well the mercury wasn't helping, and in fact was making things worse. He banned the use of mercury, so he was of course framed and removed from office by fraud. His scientific understanding could have prevented Pink disease, almost a hundred years before the "medical experts" realized they were poisoning children. There is no article for Pink disease on Wikipedia.
On 4 May 1863 Hammond banned the mercury compound calomel from army supplies, as he believed it to be neither safe nor effective (he was later proved correct). He thought it dangerous to make an already debilitated patient vomit.[2][26] A "Calomel Rebellion" ensued,[27] as many of his colleagues had no alternative treatments and resented the move as an infringement on their liberty of practice. Hammond's arrogant nature did not help him solve the problem,[28] and his relations with Secretary of War Stanton became strained. On 3 September 1863 he was sent on a protracted "inspection tour" to the South,[29] which effectively removed him from office. Joseph Barnes, a friend of Stanton's and his personal physician, became acting Surgeon General.[30]
Hammond demanded to be either reinstated or court-martialed. A court-martial found him guilty of "irregularities" in the purchase of medical furniture (Stanton "used false data").[31][32] Hammond was dismissed on 18 August 1864.[10][29]

The history of the flooding of the Harappan civilization, the lower Indus Valley, and especially Mohenjo-daro
In 1965 it was mentioned that the argument over what happened to the Harappan civilization was old and quite contentious.

Boreal winter/Austral winter still not found on Wikipedia
Despite the blog post (with reader comments) about this on
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2014
Nobody has either created or edited any page to make it show up. Not even on the disambigulation page mentioned back in 2018
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austral
I find this fascinating, enough so that I haven't added it to Wikipedia

Spite store
Not explained On Wikipedia.
Out of spite lol (it was quickly removed of course, with the Notability reasoning, more on that later)
"Spite store" is what Larry David called his coffee shop he opened up just to spit Mocha Joe.
It seems such a thing is an actual concern for a business. And you should take steps to prevent it.
A Spite store article actually would be a good addition to Wikipedia.
