Template:Moderationnav

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.

This, and everything in it! Vigeous RHA 23:07, 1 January 2010 (UTC)

Why are you blanking all your pages? Seems a bit odd tbh.-- Adward  23:34, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
Are you sure you want them deleted? It would be better to leave them up, because they are linked to a lot of pages, and has plenty of content. Perhaps just put a notice on the page that you are inactive -- boxy talkteh rulz 07:27 2 January 2010 (BST)
{{InactiveGroup}} Linkthewindow  Talk  07:31, 2 January 2010 (UTC)

Posted on the user's talk. Linkthewindow  Talk  12:19, 2 January 2010 (UTC)


So is this going to be wrapped up one way or the other at some point, or are we still waiting on Vigeous so that SA can retract his Keep vote? Cyberbob  Talk  21:22, 11 January 2010 (UTC)

I've moved it to A/D, it would be halfway down the road to deletion if we had done it originally :/. Also moved yo comment up for voting's sake, hope you don't mind. -- 22:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  1. Speedy - Crit 7 as well as an implied Crit 1 because as group leader he can blank those pages if he chooses to. Specific case editing guidelines gives him control of the pages of his group, this is from both vandalism and unwanted existence. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 11:43, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    You don't need to vote Speedy Delete when something is already on A/SD, you know. You can just weigh in without the unnecessary pomp. Cyberbob  Talk  11:47, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    Saves time if someone votes keep and it gets shifted. Also because I've been informed on IRC, Crit 7 isn't valid for all the pages, but it is valid for the main group page, which will then make the rest Crit 13 and the cat Crit 4. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 12:00, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    You're the only one who really votes Keep on A/SD submissions. Stop projecting. Cyberbob  Talk  12:21, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  2. Keep until Vigeous comes back and reaffirms his decision. If he wants it deleted still, count it as a speedy.-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 12:23, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    You know, you used to be cool. Cyberbob  Talk  12:53, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
    O_o-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 12:59, 2 January 2010 (UTC)
  3. Speedy Crit 7, shame about SA. -- 22:44, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  4. Speedy Delete - Vigeous is the primary author of those pages (except for some maintenance edits that don't really count), so he can get it deleted through criterion 7. I hope you retract your deletion request though, because RHA was a pretty neat group and I'd be sad to see the pages go. :( --ZsL 17:03, 12 January 2010 (UTC)
  5. Keep - as SA. Linkthewindow  Talk  10:01, 13 January 2010 (UTC)
  6. Keep - As SA. Pages are fine piece of work, shouldn't be deleted unless author insists. --Umbrella-White.pngThadeous OakleyUmbrella-White.png 14:27, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Grey Swords/Recruitment and Ideals

Essentially a dupe of Grey Swords/Recruitment, with a couple of different templates. It's unused, and, although it's technically a crit 1, the different templates make me think that I should post it here on A/D instead.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 23:30, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

  1. Delete - Pow, pow, pow! --Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 23:30, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
  2. Point it out to them (or who looks like their main editor) and ask if they use it or if they can boil it down into one page. The pages are arguably different now, though merging them'd be easy. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 23:43, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
  3. Delete - after seeing the Deletion Log of Grey Swords/Recruitment and the edits the user made before requesting its deletion in april/august 2009, It's easy for me to believe that Grey Swords/Recruitment and Ideals was just a product of the user not knowing where his old page has gone before deciding to recreate it at its original spot. It's unlinked, so an emphatic Delete, though I'm sure if you'd asked the user beforehand he would have happily given the go ahead for the pages scheduled deletion anyway. -- 14:09, 11 January 2010 (UTC)
  4. Speedy Delete - Fits criterion 1 well enough. --ZsL 19:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

Recent Actions

Journal:No journal

No reason for this to live. --ZsL 14:36, 25 December 2009 (UTC)

Should I trust you to fix the links afterwards? (to example page or something) =D -- 07:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
Moved to A/D. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
I wish I got to this earlier. If this was to be deleted, I'd fix all the links and the profile template so there would be no broken links. --ZsL 23:47, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
  1. Keep - Serves a purpose. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 12:12, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  2. (Weak) Keep - Is linked to and serves as a placeholder. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:54, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  3. Keep - Multiple user accounts are linked to it, suggesting they have it as a placeholder for later use. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 13:31, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  4. Keep - People are using this link with the Template:Profile to fill in the the "journal" field, in the same way that they link to None under "group". Definitely keep.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 13:34, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  5. Keep - Do not pow, pow, pow this material.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 14:22, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  6. Keep - As Iscariot and Link. Aichon 18:57, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  7. Keep - Linked. -- Adward  18:58, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  8. Keep - As per the pers --C Whitty 18:12, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
Kept. -- User:The Rooster RoosterDragon User talk:The Rooster 21:32, 9 January 2010 (UTC)
FFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU... --ZsL 19:07, 13 January 2010 (UTC)

FFM Radio

One-liner group page (crit 1, I know these usually go to A/SD, but didn't we decide a while back that all crit 1 group pages should go here?) It's been in Low Content Pages for half a year now, and I warned the author back in July.

For what it's worth, the character mentioned on the page has since joined another group. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:48, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

  1. Delete - This isn't a group, this is a radio show. There's no information on it, but there is a chance it's still running. I'd say not, though.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 11:07, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  2. Speedy Delete or move to user subpage if one can find proof it still exists. -- 13:03, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  3. Eat it - eat it good. When I fall, I'll weep for happiness 16:44, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  4. Delete - author vote. Linkthewindow  Talk  00:55, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  5. Keep - George Bush was a shit president, unfortunately we can't delete him from history. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 01:07, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
    George Bush didn't exist for one edit, add one sentence and then leave forever. -- 02:10, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
    No, he did stuff in the world, this group did stuff in the game's world. George Bush has never edited wikipedia, does this mean he doesn't get an article? No, we record all history about this game, good or bad. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 02:40, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
    This is neither, it's nonexistant, rather. Unless you or anyone else can prove otherwise... -- 00:09, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
    I barricaded three times tonight, with two successes. RECORD EVERYTHING!! --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 01:53, 28 December 2009 (UTC)
  6. Delete - A US President is literally the same thing as a shitty group in an online zombie browser game Cyberbob  Talk  02:50, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  7. Delete - Useless clutter. I'm all for keeping defunct group pages but there's just nothing here.--GANG Giles Sednik CAPD 13:30, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  8. Delete - As Giles, there isn't enough on the page for posterity to learn anything other than the name of the show... which doesn't require a page. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 13:33, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

UDWiki:Administration/Promotions/Hagnat (4)

Not worthy to be kept. It wasnt a serious bid to begin with. Could be classified as off-topic --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 03:28, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

  1. Delete -People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 03:28, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  2. keep-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 04:51, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  3. Keep - close to vandalism but until ruled on it must be kept. -- 04:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    then file a vandalism case ! --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 05:04, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    Well I'm not sure if I would consider it vandalism myself, a greater judge of whether it is or not for me would be whether you felt victimised enough to file it yourself, but yes. Unnaccepting it and archiving it is probably the best way to just let this die, as it can't be deleted. -- 05:13, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  4. Keep - Bids no go away. --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 04:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    if it was a serious bid i would support that. This wasnt. --People's Commissar Hagnat [talk] [wcdz] 05:04, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    We don't delete any other semi-joke bids, why should yours get deleted?-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 05:15, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    Just like woot's --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 05:42, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  5. Keep - As Bob. What kind of precedent could this set for idiocy on the Wiki :P. Linkthewindow  Talk  05:43, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    I DON'T WANT MY ACCOUNT DELETED!@!!!-- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 06:35, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  6. Keep--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 11:01, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  7. Delete - I could be well wrong here, but shouldnt he have been asked whether he wanted to run in the first place? Therefore the bid seems pointless and a joke, and I would have thought all joke bids get binned if the nominated had nothing to do with it in the first place....just my opinion! --C Whitty 11:33, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
    Rosslessness became a sysop most recently after a nomination that was put up by Iscariot, and, as far as I know, Ross wasn't asked first if he wanted to be nominated. Similarly, Yonnua was nominated a few months back before he was ready to put in an actual bid, so he turned it down. People don't need to be notified before being nominated. Aichon 17:54, 26 December 2009 (UTC)
  8. Keep - If this goes through I'm having all my bids deleted under the same precedent and Anime escalated if this is used against J3D. -- To know the face of God is to know madness....Praise knowledge! Mischief! Mayhem! The Rogues Gallery!. <== DDR Approved Editor 12:11, 26 December 2009 (UTC)

  11. Keep - We archive promotions bids, whether they're serious or not.--The General T Sys U! P! F! 01:48, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
  12. Keep - Decent enough. --ZsL 23:54, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

  5. Keep - Yeah dude, that is definitely a keep. Granted, it is not the prettiest group page on the wiki, but no reason to take it down. --Maverick Talk - OBR Praise Knowledge! 404 07:31, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
  6. Keep Images alone are pure win. --RosslessnessWant a Location Image? 08:21, 16 December 2009 (UTC)
