- Totally, it's removal from an SD category means nothing. Groups are wiki history, deleting them because they are gone is the same as deleting location blocks that don't see use. --Karekmaps?! 01:57, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Bullshit, underused locationblocks may be used in the future, and provide a method of navigating the wiki. There are heaps of group pages created each and every day on this wiki, a large percentage of those groups never do anything of any note whatsoever... those are the ones I vote delete on. They're just taking up a namespace with a lame stub page that someone else may want to use in the future -- boxy talk • i 05:21 21 December 2007 (BST)
- So may the group page, yeah lots of groups are made(although not near as many as you seem to be claiming), Just because you don't think a group matters or has done enough doesn't mean they should be deleted whenever a person doesn't update the wiki page for a month or three. If it's namespace usage you're concerned about there are policies that can be made to deal with that(Like maybe a groups namespace). Oh, and not every groups frequents the wiki. For a group page that actually was a group page I'm gonna keep voting keep unless you can come up with a better reason to wipe all reference to a group(that you don't know is gone/active) or show the authors permission.--Karekmaps?! 06:12, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
- Look, I'm not saying that because a group page hasn't been edited for a month, it should automatically be deleted... but there are heaps of "throw away" groups created each week on this wiki, groups that never get past a couple of members. I've no problem with you (or others) voting keep on groups you think worthy of staying on the wiki... but using "crit 12 is dead" as a justification is totally lame, given that crit 12 is a speedydelete criteria, and this is the deletions page... any page is eligible for deletion, A/SD criteria don't come into it -- boxy talk • i 13:06 22 December 2007 (BST)

The McMahon Motel
This page references the McMahon Hotel in Shearbank, and so the name of the page is incorrect. It also duplicates information in the Shearbank Hotels page. --Frozen Flame 05:46, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

- Taking in account information below, I'm still keeping this my vote. There's still no info on this page and the bit on Shearbank Hotels can be renamed (what was already done) --~~~~ [talk] 12:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
Speedy DeleteKeep - Crit 1, but only because the name is wrong.--Karekmaps?! 11:33, 16 December 2007 (UTC) Changed vote, Shearbank Hotels should be a portal to all the Hotel's own pages, not the page with the information.--Karekmaps?! 12:24, 16 December 2007 (UTC)- The purpose of all the information being on the Shearbank Hotels page is to reduce the number of stubs in the wiki as per the Location Style Guide. These pages are very unlikely to have more than one or two news items, if any. Also, making the Shearbank Hotels page a portal by adding links to all of the names breaks the redirect, which redirects to the entry in the Shearbank Hotels page. It in effect creates a redirect loop which drops the user at the top of the Shearbank Hotels page rather than at the individual entry.--Frozen Flame 20:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wiki's are about completeness of information, the portal is a great thing to have so it can make it easier to find the info but, forcing the info to be on that page detracts from the page's usefulness and limits the amount of information about the building that can ever exist.--Karekmaps?! 17:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- To reiterate, the merge page is to reduce stubs. Not a single one of those hotel stubs have any information beyond barricade policy and 9 block map. As outlined in the Location Style Guide, when and if (certainly in this case "if" is more appropriate) the entry outgrows the merge page it can be broken out to it's own page. Turning merge pages into portals results in unnecessary and confusing duplication. --└Frozen┘┌Flame┐ 17:55, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- Wiki's are about completeness of information, the portal is a great thing to have so it can make it easier to find the info but, forcing the info to be on that page detracts from the page's usefulness and limits the amount of information about the building that can ever exist.--Karekmaps?! 17:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
- The purpose of all the information being on the Shearbank Hotels page is to reduce the number of stubs in the wiki as per the Location Style Guide. These pages are very unlikely to have more than one or two news items, if any. Also, making the Shearbank Hotels page a portal by adding links to all of the names breaks the redirect, which redirects to the entry in the Shearbank Hotels page. It in effect creates a redirect loop which drops the user at the top of the Shearbank Hotels page rather than at the individual entry.--Frozen Flame 20:42, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

- Keep - I think you fail to understand the spirit in which Project UnWelcome was created, and continues to exist. Project UnWelcome is not enforced, and any attempt to enforce it with things like UnWelcomenewbie templates will be dealt with through the UDwiki:Vandalism policy. Many members of Project UnWelcome are rather welcoming of newbies, and i include myself in this number (I only ever chased off idiots from the suggestions pages, and that was all many months ago). Just because we dont go spamming their talk pages with gigantic templates doesnt mean we dont watch and/or do what we can where we can. See my post on ZachsMind's talk page as an example of an attempt to help by myself that ran directly counter to the alleged goal of Project UnWelcome. Indeed, my rulings on the vandalism cases about him were also violations of the alleged policy of the group. You can look those up yourself. Fact of the matter is that this group is made in fun, any serious attempts to enforce the joke groups manifesto would be quite patently both obvious and vandalism, and would be dealt with swiftly by numerous sysops if i werent shoving them out of the way and off many precepices in my haste to deal with them first.

- Fine you want the merits, there are no merits to this being here. There has never been any rule against petitions, even stupid ones like banning users for being annoying, the real gamer petition is an example of that, another would be the petition made earlier this year regarding the VB case where Sonny removed a bunch of groups from suburb pages. The page is there because he wanted to start a petition, just because there is another place that exists where he is limited in time to make his case, get people to see and agree with his viewpoints etc does not mean it is a valid reason to delete this, especially because of the limits of A/PD meant to keep it managable. Move to his userspace if you want to do anything, deleting it serves no purpose beyond suppressing the page or the viewpoint. That being said, my point with the real gamer thing was that Petitions aren't Crit 1s, even if they have no useful content or purpose, unless you want to suddenly redefine crit 1 to content the person putting it up for deletion doesn't have a use for.--Karekmaps?! 13:37, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Category talk:Current Suggestions
I've continuously been fighting to find the "real" talk page of the Suggestions page. Currently there is this one (unused since Nov 19), the Category_talk:Suggestions version (used for mostly administrative things) and the Talk:Suggestions version (used for developing suggestions).
I suggest that we archive the mentioned page and insert a redirect to one of the two (I'm not sure which, but I think the "admin" one would work fine). --Karlsbad 02:51, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
