Speedy Delete Policy Change

To include Copyright Violations as part of Criterion, so that large numbers of acrued images can be deleted if violation so aplies.

Humble Request from the Black Bloc

I was very suprised that no one contacted me before taking liberties with my page. Our Group is very active within the M@F and most of our operational updates are on their wiki page. Still, the Black Blocs talk page had been reciently edited by me, and so i am quite perplexed as to why I wasn't contacted and why you guys just go off and delete my work assuming we are inactive, but without contacting us to see if we were here...If you have the deleated material, please put it back or i will report you for vandalism--Lorosidiotas 23:39, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Deletions are moderator only actions, they go to M/M if anything awry was committed. Regardless, have you read criterion 12? Your misconduct case will be thrown out before it even begins. Go to M/U to request undeletion of your page. –Xoid ^M•T•FU! 23:47, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Exempting Group Pages

I think that Group Pages should be exempt from being speedy deleted unless they are being put up by the users who actually maintain the page. Speedydelete is just too quick, and those who don't often edit their pages are just the ones that wont know how to find the undeletions page.

They should be sent to be voted on in the deletions page, and the deletions template placed on them, at least then those who are active in-game, but not on the wiki, have a good chance of being stopped from being deleted by wiki users who know they're still playing -- boxy ^{T L PA DA} 06:55, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

This is the perfect kind of things to take to M/PD--you can get other users to hash out the idea then bring it to a vote. Ain't bureaucracy grand? Personally, if you're talking about crit twelve, I think that the conditions are plenty narrow that if the group is still active anywhere at all they won't meet it. But then again, AH managed to get made historical even though they're still running around kicking Zack's ass, so who knows?--'STER-Talk-Mod^P! 16:03, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I hate to disagree with you, 'STER, but in the past week I've seen several active groups get their pages deleted under Crit 12; some were undeleted when members noticed and objected, some haven't been undeleted yet. One example was the Malton Marshals, who will never show up on the stats page because their members' profiles all read Malton Police Department. I'm surprised they didn't s/d MFU too, for the same reasons. There are a lot of people who play the game and maybe run a forum or whatever to coordinate their small group, but don't spend much time on the wiki for whatever reason.

You've got a good idea, Boxy. Start a policy discussion and let's gabble it out. -- Atticus Rex ^{mfu pif} Δ 18:04, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

This isn't a good idea. Group pages would never be deleted.--Gage 23:05, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

I've done as suggested, here, and moved the above discussion to the talk page -- boxy ^{T L PA DA} 05:36, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
