''There are no pages in the deletion queue.''
 
===[[User:CarelessWill]]===
Reasons for my request for deletion:
-This user has no affiliation with our group.
-Is posting inaccurate information used from a website outside of Urbandead Wiki (Resensitized I think).
-The commentary, and references, about our group were made before I took over the group, and is referring to the "Jack Yocum" account that was banned (as I had not even joined this site yet).
-I feel the content about our group is slanderous which I thought was not allowed on this site. Plus, some of it seems to be specifically intent on harassing/trolling as well.
 
Also, with the references to our group removed it doesn't really seem to have much information about the user on the page. I believe that is also another reason for speedy deletion?
Seems the only viable part of this profile is this part: "I don't care about that, either. But feel free to do it. I'll just keep on humming. Keep on slumming, just strumming the guitar, I keep the music coming.
And I don't care about that, either."
 
I request all of the misinformation about our group struck from the page, if the profile itself cannot be not deleted.
 
I have placed the necessay Deletion tag as well.

#:Active or not it's making false claims, and casting undeserved disparaging comments.
#:Seems like those are, by definition, violations of this site's intended usage and representation?
#:As I said I'd be equally fine with having only the inforation against us excised.
#:And so it's said. I'm aware of our less than sterling reputation by some parts of the community. Sometimes perception trumps reality. #:Unfortunately, that opinion should not allow a page violating guidelines to be allowed kept in it's present form just to take measure against a group one may feel a personal bias against. RIght?
#:And Emp, I am familiar with your own questionable tactics/reputation in game as well. ANd it's just as questionable if not more.

#'''Keep''' - User pages are neither required to be factual nor NPOV. It may be misinformation, but that's the prerogative of user and group page owners, provided they don't break any other rules in the process. Without a better cause, we shouldn't be deleting user pages. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:48, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' far worse stuff has been kept in userspaces before. If you have a real issue (in mainspace) bring it up here or at Arbitration. {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 23:27, 19 August 2015 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - I'm sorry that someone is being slanderous towards your name. I once had similar problems from in-game antagonists when I started UD, but I learned quickly that they are allowed to say anything on their userpage, as are you. So unfortunately for you his userpage shan't be deleted. {{User:DanceDanceRevolution/a}} 04:34, 20 August 2015 (UTC)

'''I guess nobody figured out that emPathetic Bill..."caring" Bill= CarelessWill?'''
That same silly style of prose matches as well.
It's obvious certain parties circumvent the rules here, much like ingame, but is there any sort of further investigation that can be done to review this connection? I mean we all know who the real cheating sect is here/ingame, and that we all have to operate under the faux innocent until caught paradigm, but perhaps all that is required is providing the necessary bread crumbs...
Again, please remember I', learning here, so this question is just as much informational/instructional as it is a request.

Thought I'd state here, in public, that there has been a griefing attempt on our user page. I reverted it, but the person (SexualHarrison) is fully aware they should not be editing our page (as they said so in their edit). .
I would appreciate, and request, the sysops monitor our page as stringently as Pathetic Bills, Save the Yeti, and even ...apparently...The Goth Store (I'll post up our response on that page too).
Consider this an official request.
Thank You [[User:The Jack Yocum|The Jack Yocum]] ([[User talk:The Jack Yocum|talk]]) 14:15, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
:Hi Jack, I don't think you understand how userpages v talk pages work. [[User:The Jack Yocum|Your userpage]] is for you to edit and modify as you wish, with outside intervention only to prevent things like leaking personal information, breaking wiki formatting, etc. Your [[User talk:The Jack Yocum|talk page]] is generally a place for others to leave you messages, and others are allowed to edit, but you can remove their comments as you wish. Harrison did nothing against any rules by leaving a message on your talk page; if you have an actual issue with him, the place for it is Arbitration (although I really don't recommend it). {{User:Bob Moncrief/Sig}} 15:14, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
 
Thanks Bob :)
You are correct that I am not fully aware of of the nuances of the site yet. It will be slow going as my RL doesn't allow for closer inspection as I'd like.
However, I was under the impression that outside comments are meant to be directed to the "discussion" part of the page?
If not, that's fine. Live and learn right? :)
And I was just about to respond to you on Aichons page, partly in relation to this particular query.
Didn't want you to think I had forgotten to respond on Aichon's page, but this was the first real chance I had to respond. Haven't even had time to really do more than log in here and ingame, though I've heard my teammates have done an "admirable" job filling in for me over Broadcast chat (for the record I never broadcast in game, as I find it pointless to involve myself with innae chatter, but some of my group do love to troll. Lol).
Thanks again [[User:The Jack Yocum|The Jack Yocum]] ([[User talk:The Jack Yocum|talk]]) 15:23, 29 August 2015 (UTC)

#'''Keep''' - As I [http://wiki.urbandead.com/index.php?title=UDWiki:Administration/Deletions&diff=2253035&oldid=2253033 stated above], I do not believe that there is any basis for deleting the content or the page, given how we've always treated user pages and the fact that user pages are neither required to be factual nor NPOV. A user page is ''exactly'' where we'd tell someone to post this sort of content if they had posted it into the main space, since that's exactly where this sort of content belongs and has always been permitted. Ross himself has (had?) documentation regarding zerging in his userspace, as I recall. {{User:Aichon/Signature}} 22:51, 19 August 2015 (UTC)

#I say keep it. If I have to change it for it to stay tell me what is acceptable. I don't care who zergs but how can that be stated without offending people? Also if it's deleted the group still exists in game. Should there not be a record of it on the wiki? Well to tell you the truth which you won't believe anyway, I am NOT the real Jack Yocum. I am a resident of Shearbank and saw these idiots saying and spraypainting all around the burb "Jack Yocum restored Shearbank. You're welcome!" and saying we don't care if you zerg, PK, etc. So I decided to make this here parody account and parody group to say basically whaf he said in game here on the wiki. Take that for what you will. If this gets deleted, at least the truth got out.  [[User:Jack Yocum|Jack Yocum]] ([[User talk:Jack Yocum|talk]]) 02:22, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
#:So, what I said on the [[UDWiki:Administration/Vandal Banning#User:Jack Yocum|A/VB]] page: If you change it in such a way that it interferes with any of your zerging activities, that would be an improvement. A NPOV description of what your group does, where they are active, followed by say, a list of your "members", would do. You could use [[Save the yeti]] as a guide. That would be a reason to keep the page. --{{User:A Helpful Little Gnome/Sig}} 03:35, 17 February 2015 (UTC)
#'''Delete'''- I for one think it's super cute how you think your opinion is worth anything at all, zerger boy. How about come back later when you figure out how to make actual friends, sweetie. ---{{User:RadicalWhig/sig}}05:46, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

This page is for the request of page deletions within the Urban Dead wiki. Due to concerns about loss of data, the ability to delete pages is restricted to system operators. As such, regular users will need to request a deletion from the system operators. For consistency and accountability, system operators also adhere to the guidelines listed here.

Guidelines for 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. Note that Category and Image links need a colon at the front to turn them into links (ie [[:Category:Category]] and [[:Image:Image.jpg]]).
  • 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.

In addition to placing a request on this page, please place the {{delete}} tag on the top of the page that is being recommended for deletion. Please make sure that the original content remains on the page, so that others can judge whether the page is worthy of 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 deletion request has been entered, the request shall remain on this page, where it will be voted on for a period of two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. At the conclusion of this two weeks, the appropriate action will be taken by a system operator, and at the end of that day the request will be moved into the Archive.

Certain types of pages may be better being scheduled for deletion in order to reduce the amount of red tape and stop this page getting too cluttered. To lodge a request for scheduled deletions, go to UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling.

Deletion of pages that match a certain criteria may be better serviced by a request for a Speedy Deletion. Speedy Deletions are for removal of pages that are clearly of no value to the wiki, and do not incur the two week voting requirement. Speedy Deletion requests can be lodged at UDWiki:Administration/Speedy Deletions.

Speedy Deletion Eligibility

To be eligible for a Speedy Deletion Request, the page must fall under at least one of the following criteria:

  1. 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.
  2. Off-Topic: The page is a clearly off-topic page.
  3. Unused Redirect: The page is an unused or underused (ie, only 1-2 pages using the link) redirect.
  4. Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
  5. 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)
    As of 19 May 2010, Crit 5 is now a scheduled deletion.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. User Page: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.
  9. 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.
    As of 2011, August 29, Crit 9 is now a scheduled deletion.
  10. Unused Template: The page is a template that has existed for at least one week and is currently unused within the wiki.
  11. 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.
    As of 20 June 2009, Crit 11 is now a scheduled deletion.
  12. 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.
  13. 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).

A page may also fall under a scheduled deletion and should be posted here if it is missed by the sysops.

Guidelines for Voting on Deletion Requests

  • One vote per user.
  • Voting should take place underneath the request, and each vote should be started with a # with no empty lines inbetween votes.
  • There are four vote types:
    • Delete. For agreement with the deletion request
    • Merge. For indication that the content on the page should be merged with another page (includes an implicit Delete).
    • Speedy Delete. For indication that the page meets one of the Speedy Deletions Criteria (includes an implicit Delete).
    • Keep. For disagreement with the deletion request.
  • The specific vote keyword should be bolded within the lodged vote. Any relevant comments are also allowed, but these should not be bolded.
  • At least one Delete vote must be entered by the deadline in order for a page to be deleted. System operators may not use their own vote after the deadline to delete a page.
  • If more Delete votes are entered than Keep votes, the page will be deleted. In any other circumstance, the page is kept.
  • If 3 Speedy Deletes are lodged, and there are no Keep Votes, the page will be deleted as per Speedy Deletions.

Deletion Queue

There are no pages in the deletion queue.
