You seem to be missing a link to the problematic entry.

Page history in question.

You want the Cut List. For future references, it's in the toolbar. Open "Tools" under "Resources," and it's the first option.

I put it the cut list at least twice and let it rip. No dice.

Things aren't automatically deleted by sending them to the Cut List, they go in a queue to be reviewed before deletion to make sure the page is actually eligible and valid to delete.

Ohhh... That makes a lot of sense.

You may have added it incorrectly. It should be the same way you'd link it: Namespace/Workname, no spaces.

When you add something to the Cut List, you can either see it queued right away or you did something wrong.

Don't forget to tell when you're done. Since you've been trying, I'd prefer you learning in practice if you haven't cut pages before.

Also for future, never leave pages empty. If commenting out would leave it blank, leave it as-is and cutlist it so mods wouldn't have to lookup history.
