This page is for the request of speedy page deletions within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to delete pages is restricted to the system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a deletion from the sysops. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.
In a restricted set of circumstances, system operators may delete pages without full consultation of the wiki community. This is usually restricted to pages that do not seem to have any legitimate information or function within the wiki, or for pages that have been created by mistake and are requested to be deleted by the author. In these circumstances, a Speedy Deletion may take place, allowing system operators to quickly remove these pages from the wiki.
[edit] Guidelines for Speedy Deletion Requests
All Deletion Requests must contain the following information in order to be considered:
- A link to the page in question. Preferably bolded for visibility.
- A reason for deletion. This should be short and to the point.
- A signed datestamp. This can be easily done by adding
~~~~to the end of your request.
Further, you should place {{speedydelete}} at the top of the page you are nominating for speedy deletion.
Any deletion request that does not contain these three pieces of information will not be considered, and will be removed by a system operator.
Once the speedy deletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be reviewed by a member of the moderation team, and action taken accordingly. Once action has been taken, the request will be moved into the Archive, and the system operator shall add a signed datestamp to the archived request.
A Speedy Deletion may be circumvented by a single vote of Keep under the request. If this occurs, the system operator shall move the Speedy Deletion request to the Deletion Request Queue, where the normal rules for Deletion of the page shall apply. Further, A user may choose to move a request from the Speedy Deletion queue to the Deletion Request Queue should they feel that the deletion may attract controversy within the wiki community, but do not wish to cast a Keep vote for the request. Should either of these circumstances occur, the deletion candidate should remain in the Deletion Request Queue until the alloted two weeks is up.
In the event of a sysop requesting Speedy Deletion, all the previous points will apply, excepting that a system operator other than the requester shall review and take action on the request.
[edit] Speedy Deletion Eligibility
To be eligible for a Speedy Deletion Request, the page must fall under at least one of the following criteria:
- No Content: The page contains no more than a line or two of content that cannot clearly be expanded, consists of random or incoherent content, or is duplicated elsewhere to no purpose. Pages created by Spambots typically fall under this category.
- Off-Topic: The page is a clearly off-topic page.
- Unused Redirect: The page is an unused or underused (ie, only 1-2 pages using the link) redirect.
- Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
- Missed Talk Page: The page is a Talk: Page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so)
- Deletion Workaround: The page is a duplicate of a page that has been deleted from a previous deletion request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so). A page that fits this criterion is immediately qualified for deletion without requiring it be nominated on the 'Speedy Deletions' page. Recreating a page that fits this criterion will get you a polite message to stop doing so. Any further infractions of this nature will qualify as vandalism and will be treated as such. Note that criterion 6 does not apply when the page has been restored through Undeletions.
- Author Edit Only: The page has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author, and has been edited only by its author. Note that edits by adbots or vandals and reverts caused by them do not count.
- User Page: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.
- Personal Page (Prefix Rule): The page is named after a user without the "User:" or "Journal:" prefixes and its content has been moved to the appropriate User or Journal page. Includes pages that should be User subpages, ie. in-game characters.
- Unused Template: The page is a template that has existed for at least one week and is currently unused within the wiki.
- Non-existent User Page: The page is a User: page for a user that doesn't exist, and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page.
Defunct group page: The page is a non-historical group page, it is over two months old, it has not had an update in a month, and is not on the stats page. Such pages will remain in the queue for 5 days to determine their defunct status has been correctly identified. Due to the large number of pages that fit into this criterion, please {{speedydelete12}} on the pages to ensure that they are categorized differently from normal speedy deletion requests.- As of 2007, September 16, this is no longer a valid criterion.
- Missed sub-page: The page is a sub-page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request, and that serves no individual purpose (please note the relevant deletion request).

Ran into this mother while looking for a specific template. Last edit was 2006 and no template was actually created.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 06:37, 18 August 2008 (BST)
- This template is embedded in a page as text that can't be edited on that page. Please start checking the What links here link in the box on the right. If you go to Search_Odds/Outside you will see that you put the speedy delete template on that page also by putting it on the template page. --– Nubis' Lynch Mob 12:37, 18 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] Still more Crit 10 Not a Template Templates
I checked the history of all of these and one was wiped and and has been unused, another is not a template, and another is a link to a non-existent picture.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 00:43, 17 August 2008 (BST)

[edit] Uncompleted/Not even a Template, Templates
I am on a roll in taking out bad templates! They are all crit 10 except for one. One of these (Template:DawnOfTheDead) was wiped by its original author in an attempt to get rid of it, but he never applied for it to be deleted so I think that one is a crit 7. He just never asked for it.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 23:50, 15 August 2008 (BST)
- {{DawnOfTheDead}} was blanked by the author. The other two are getting a keep, they aren't included on a page but they do have use(Greenwood Country Club (Monroeville))--Karekmaps?! 00:58, 16 August 2008 (BST)
- Unfortunately templates can't just be based on used/unused criteria. Ones like the speedy delete or many admin templates aren't always "in use" but shouldn't be deleted. I've been trying to put them all in better categories, but I'm taking a break. --– Nubis' Lynch Mob 04:32, 16 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] No kill zone
This has got to be a crit 1.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 00:56, 9 August 2008 (BST)
- Keep - This is a commonly used phrase in UD. I believe it belongs in a glossary or something, and not on its own page. However, because -- and solely because -- it's such a common term, I'm hesitant to just speedy it. Let's let the community decide, and give it a chance to develop: it might turn into a useful page. --WanYao 10:16, 10 August 2008 (BST)
- Why not just add the info to the Sacred ground page? It could use a bit more padding and a huge update. --– Nubis' Lynch Mob 13:19, 11 August 2008 (BST)
- Surely the term is self explanatory? Also these 'zones' usually have very little meaning considering how easily they are broken. Also pretty much every building in Malton is part of some sort of 'no attacking here' thingo. change that vote wan!--J3DSR! 13:45, 11 August 2008 (BST)
- That's why I thought it should be deleted. These term is self explanatory so it doesn't need a full page to be designated to it. And I think somewhere there is already a page that lists all of the specific No Kill Zones.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 17:31, 11 August 2008 (BST)
- Sadly our hands are tied. If you want to put it to a full vote it can be moved to A/D but unless WanYao can be convinced to change his Keep it can't be processed here.--Karekmaps?! 22:39, 12 August 2008 (BST)
- Nope, I'm sticking with my vote. There are certain places, e.g. Quartly and MCM, which are very well known and advertised No-kill zones. Also there's the Philosophe Knights' policies regarding libraries. If there is a page listing all the NKZ's please link to it... If it's real, and decent, this should possibly be a redirect to there. And the policy is NOT self-explanatory in a metagaming context. --WanYao 05:45, 15 August 2008 (BST)
- If you think it's got too little content, I could probably expand upon the meaning, provide examples, make it truely informative, if you like. Not that I'm the original author, or anything. --DT

[edit] Strange Templates
Found two more of these strange non-template templates. They've both been abandoned since May as well.--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 21:50, 15 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] Template:MalTelBuildingStatus
Not sure what this is but its been abandoned since May and is not even a template. Crit 10?--SirArgo MEDIC!| Zed 06:00, 15 August 2008 (BST)
- SpeedyDelete - I'm not sure what it's about but it seems textbook Speedy material. Techercizer (Food) (TSoE) 06:02, 15 August 2008 (BST)

[edit] Personal Information
According to the scheduled deletions guidelines I request that the list of IP addresses posted by User:TotalMacho posted on the A/VB talk page be speedydeleted. Under the criterion that IP addresses, while publicly available information, are akin to publicly listed phone #s, addresses, emails, etc. and thus fall under this guideline. --WanYao 02:22, 12 August 2008 (BST) And, for the record, this entire incident is FINISHED. I shall not be trolling ioncannon or his puppets on this wiki or in chatboxes or anything. As far as I am concerned, this ends here. --WanYao 02:25, 12 August 2008 (BST)

I'm not sure if it's a crit 1 or 2, but nothing links there and it doesn't link anywhere. It's only redeeming quality is the magnificent acronym. --Pedentic 03:33, 7 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] Crit 10 Templates
- Template:Wolf tasctics (says it was up for SD in July)
- Template:Wells Bros
- Template:Revenge
Being lazy at 11:30pm, I've not put {{speedydelete}} on them. --Pedentic 04:35, 7 August 2008 (BST)
Template:Revenge might actually be in use. They subst the code in instead of just using the template. So I'll keep it for now. Unless someone disagrees? -- AHLGTH 17:35, 7 August 2008 (BST)
[edit] Category:PhaZ
Crit 9, I guess? It's a Category page for a User, so I might go with Crit 9 here. I may be wrong, though... --Axe Bullet killed Axe Hack!!! 03:14, 3 August 2008 (BST)
