From the year 2000
Interesting subjects that actually exist, but do not have a Wikipedia article. And might never be found on Wikipedia. People, places and things. If it's patent nonsense, you won't find it here. Over time it's possible entries here might appear on Wikipedia. If you come across this most rare event, please let me know.

Crotch Novel (also Crouch Novel) also The Crouch
Fortunately there is an unbound urban dictionary, for when you come across new terms and want to know what they mean.
Crouch novel was suggested by the Wikipedia software when searching for "crotch novel". Nobody knows what that means. While trying find out I learned about the Crouch, which is also not found on wikipedia.

The Jomon transgression
Like many of the entries noted here, the term is used on Wikipedia, but does not have an article.
There are a LOT of scientific papers that either are about it, or mention it, in regards to the Jomon Period.
It is also called the marine transgression in the Jomon Period

Triple blinded experiment, triple blinded study, Triple-blinding
Not found on Wikipedia. While a redirect would help, the article on blinding offers little on the subject. A re-direct would not be very helpful.
Triple-blinding
Although rarely implemented, triple-blind studies occur when group assignment is hidden not only from participants and administrators, but also from those tasked with analyzing the data after the experiment has concluded.
Researchers may expect a certain outcome and analyze the data in different ways until they arrive at the outcome they expected, even if it is merely a result of chance.

The words of H. H. Lamb from his 1984 lecture to the British Association for the Advancement of Science
As is so often the case, what is not found, used to be found. Somebody with an agenda removed it, and made sure it could not be found.
In a 1984 lecture on "the future of the earth" given to the [[British Science Association|British Association for the Advancement of Science]], Lamb cautioned that the effects of carbon dioxide on global warming might be less than expected, and pointed to the possibilities of error or misjudgement in preparing temperature series, referring particularly to the [[urban heat island]] effect.<ref name="Pearce IX">[[Fred Pearce|Pearce, Fred]], ''The Climate Files: The Battle for the Truth about Global Warming'', (2010) [[Guardian Books]], ISBN: 978-0-85265-229-9, pp. 29–30.</ref>

The person who deleted information from Wikipedia is well known for doing this. He even was removed from his esteemed position there. (it was reported he did this to over 10,000 articles on Wikipedia)
He didn't just remove the information, he also removed the source of it, so now any infro from Fred Pearce is not found on the article.
And it's no surprise the source is also not found on Wikipedia. Not even on the Fred Pearce article.
The only place Google search finds that paragraph is on the Bishop Hill blog.

That blog entry also includes how and who deleted the info from Wikipedia.
The blog has links to sources for more info.
