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

Full Alert

Moved from A/SD --

 

 

 

 

09:29, 5 February 2010 (UTC)

Full Alert claims to be a survivor strategy page but contains no strategic information, or indeed any useful information at all. It is not only useless, but off-topic and therefore a crit 2. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 00:38, 3 February 2010 (UTC)

1. Keep - Stupidity of the page aside, it's not a speedy deletion candidate. I've re-arranged the page [1] so it isn't classified as a survivor strategy but a glossary entry. --
    
    
    
    
   23:39, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
2. Keep On the sad day that 404 go inactive, its good to know that there are survivors out there willing to step up. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:42, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
3. Keep Maybe not a survivor or zombie strategy page, but still a page worth keeping. Maybe a move to the lexicon or other more appropriate namespace? --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 10:25, 5 February 2010 (UTC)
4. Delete – Call it what you will, but tell me this if you can: from the page, what does "going on Full Alert" mean? You can't, because nowhere on that utterly pointless page is anything about what a "Full Alert" is described.ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 00:05, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
5. Delete - This page is like Conndraka, it has no redeeming features. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 08:57, 6 February 2010 (UTC)
6. Delete - Utterly retarded excuse for an article. --Papa Moloch 17:52, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

4. Delete Most, Keep Some - Keep MCOM, The Hunger, and Wolfen. Looks like they at least tried. —Aichon— 01:48, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
5. Keep MCOM, Delete the rest.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 01:53, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
6. keep as aich.-- Big Cat 02:10, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
7. Delete All -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 02:11, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
8. Keep the ones that would otherwise be deleted, delete the ones that would otherwise be kept. xoxo 03:41, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
9. Delete All - I miss criterion 12. --ZsL 05:33, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
10. Delete All - Scant content. Hell, none of them even had a discussion page; I don't mean an active discussion page--I mean it doesn't exist! These groups obviously never even got off the ground! --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
11. Delete All Cyberbob  Talk  03:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
12. Keep All - I am the Anti-Rosslessness. Also, putting orphans on here to link them is the most retarded thing to do, ever. Next time let me know and I'll give them a page in my userspace to be linked to, a kind of nature reserve for endangered pages. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 08:56, 6 February 2010 (UTC)

Kill A Zed

Gonna give this a go... Bad formatting, off topic, and poor spelling/grammar. Crit 2-ish. Only link is from here, I'd deal with it being moved to userspace at User:Freakazoit/Kill A Zed, but otherwise I'd want it deleted.

1. Delete/Move --
    
    
    
    
   00:01, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
2. Move --~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 02:44, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

   Do we have any policy on this? Like, if there are three moves and no keeps, the page is moved?--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 18:48, 24 January 2010 (UTC)

   No, it's full time, but if there are mostly Moves, move it.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 16:45, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

   Typically it behaves the same as Merge I believe. --

3. Move, move, move!--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 11:32, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
4. Move - Yep.-- Adward  15:15, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
5. Move 23:27, 24 January 2010 (UTC)
6. Delete. Oh dear god this is awful. Blitz dat muthafucka. Chief Seagull talk 12:44, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
7. Merge into the userspace. --ZsL 16:35, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
8. Move --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 07:10, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
9. Delete -- You're bang on with the reasons to delete it. It's just...god awful. As in, really bad. Chex 05:15, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
10. Delete - Horrible. Cyberbob  Talk  03:24, 30 January 2010 (UTC)
11. Delete with extreme prejudice-Normally I'd say just move it, but the content is so terrible it should be removed from the wiki forever.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 14:12, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
12. Delete--Big Cat 14:18, 31 January 2010 (UTC)
