UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling

Shortcut:
A/D/S

This page will be used for users to request that pages falling into certain categories be deleted as appropriate by a sysop without having to go through all the red tape of Speedy Deletions and Deletions. A list of pages in the Scheduled Deletions list is located here.

Deletion Scheduling

Deletion Scheduling requests should be requested in the same general format as normal Deletions. Votes will occur in the same general manner, and like normal deletion requests will be voted on for two (2) weeks, as judged by the initial datestamp. Votes in this case shall be as follows:

• Yea - For approval of the deletion scheduling request
• Nay - For disapproval of the deletion scheduling request

Remember that votes must be signed and datestamped (use ~~~~)

After the two weeks are up, if the page has reached at least a 50% majority in favour it is added to the Scheduled list. If the request fails to get the required number of votes, it doesn't get added. In either case, the closed request can then get shifted to the Archive.

Scheduling requests under consideration

Corollary to "Crit 7 by Proxy" scheduled deletion

If a page's author blanks it or replaces it with text indicating their desire to have it deleted, the page is to be deleted on sight. Current rules for deleting by proxy still apply as applicable.--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

1. Yes --~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 04:34, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

3. Yea Seems obvious enough. --Maverick ^{Talk - OBR 404} 06:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
4. Yea --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 07:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
5. No - this would allow users to get templates, that may be in use on other people's pages, deleted with no record as to what happened. Stuff in their user space, stuff ups, or low content group pages maybe, but not everything -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 07:37 15 December 2009 (BST)

   I'm not quite sure what you mean with the template thing; the user would still have to have been the creator to have the page deleted. Care to elaborate?--~ Red Hawk One ^{Talk | space for lease} 14:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

   User A create a template. B includes it on their page. User A later blanks it and requests that it be deleted on it. B is out of luck when it gets deleted, despite the fact that B is using it. —Aichon— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

   What people aren't getting is that it would be deleted anyway, either through A/SD or the already existing Crit 7 Proxy clause. The argument is redundant and complaining for the sake of complaining. --

6. No - Boxy knows what he's on about. Not templates and such.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
7. No - YUM BOXYS DICK TASTES GUDjust make an exception for templates and resubmit Cyberbob  Talk  07:46, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
8. No - re boxy and I dont like the idea of deletion on sight as mentioned by red even if author signifys --C Whitty 15:12, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
9. No - It's not a lot of hassle to request deletion, and avoids any hassle this might cause. 15:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
10. No - As boxy. Just change it so you can't delete included pages (as per Cyberbob's suggestion) and it'd be fine. —Aichon— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
11. Und ein Engel tritt zu mir, seine Flügel schneeweiß, seine Stimme so sanft und er flüstert ganz leis, und er nimmt meine Hand und spricht fürchte Dich 'nicht so kühl seine Finger und er führt mich ins Licht. -- ¯\(°_o)/¯ 23:50, 15 December 2009 (UTC) specify via bold pls --
