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

User Page Redirects

User page redirects in the main space should be delete on sight as crit 3 or 9. The community voted against keeping them and in all fairness no one should have one. The exception will be Kevan. Redirects to permabanned vandals do not fall under this as they are for posterity and record keeping.

1. Yea The A/D votes settled it for me. This is the next logical step.--– Nubis ^NWO 14:01, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
2. Yea - the limited pagenames in the main namespace is not to be used up with hundreds of user page redirects, and neither should it be that popular users should be exempt from the A/SD criteria because they can manufacture A/D votes -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 21:51 7 November 2008 (BST)
3. Yea - Fits in nicely with the scheduled deletion after moves. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 21:53, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
4. Aye - The people have spoken. Let it be so. -- Cheese 22:06, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Yes - Sounds good. --ZsL 22:17, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
6. Yes - Can't see a problem with it. Linkthewindow ^Talk 23:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
7. Yea - No user redirects in the main namespace. --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [523,07]} 23:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
8. Yea - This has been the case for years. The only reason it's even an issue is because for the first time the idiots trying to buck the system for their own benefit have actually bothered to contest the rulings. One rule for everybody (except Kevan obv). --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 23:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Attack Pages

Pages made solely to attack/discredit/whatever another user (example: User X is a filthy PKer, we must killz him nao! or the recent Boxy/Ioncannon is a cunt) can be deleted on sight.

1. Aye - Some of this is already scheduled (solely vandal pages) but this just takes care of Trenchy n00bs posting their grievances all over the place because someone killed them. -- Cheese 22:15, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
2. No - pages may be made, esp. in the group or user sub-page area, to discredit players or other users (ie. this). Pages that use extreme swearing in their titles, however... -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:19 7 November 2008 (BST)

   I'm meaning in the main namespace. User and Group pages are fine. I really should have put that in. =p -- Cheese 22:22, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

   I still think that arbitration or vandal banning are better ways to determine the outcome in attack pages. It can be a tricky area that may need extended discussion, rather than just a single sysops opinion on the intent of a page. The ones titled "xxxx is a cunt" could probably be taken out though, as pure flamebait -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:30 7 November 2008 (BST)

3. Weak Yes - Just determine what an "attack" is, and don't delete pages in a user subspace. Linkthewindow ^Talk 23:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
4. Nay - Mostly as boxy. --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [523,07]} 23:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Yea - In the cases where the nature of the page is not blatantly obvious (which is the case 99% of the time) common sense should apply. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 23:35, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Swearing in Page Titles

Pages that have swearing in the title that is directed at a user or group (or their actions) are to be added to the scheduled deletions list. This would include pages like "boxy is a cunt" or "petition to ban that bastard hagnat" but not pages like "Blackmore Bastards". Other examples of swearing in page titles should be taken to A/SD or A/D for removal.

1. Yea - flamebaitery via page creation should be deleted on sight -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 22:37 7 November 2008 (BST)
2. Yes As Boxy. Linkthewindow ^Talk 23:10, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
3. Nay - If the only objectionable thing is the title, you could just move the page. Moves can be done on sight, you know. --Midianian ^{Big Brother Diary Room: [523,07]} 23:24, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
4. Yea - If the title of the page is flamebait-y, its content is hardly likely to be in good faith either. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 23:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
5. Aye nuff said already --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 00:00, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Attack Images

As the attack pages heading pretty much, except that images are a radically different beast due to their ability to be placed anywhere.

1. Yea - Reasoning already given. --HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT, I SUCK COCKS 23:32, 7 November 2008 (UTC)

Unused Templates

If a template is not linked to any other page in the wiki, and the last edit to such template was made more than 3 months ago, it can be removed on sight.

1. Aye --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{talk mod} 00:09, 8 November 2008 (UTC)
