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 <code><nowiki>[[:Category:Category]]</nowiki></code> and <code><nowiki>[[:Image:Image.jpg]]</nowiki></code>).
* '''A reason for deletion.''' This should be short and to the point.
* '''A signed datestamp.''' This can be easily done by adding ~~<nowiki>~~</nowiki> to the end of your request.

In addition to placing a request on this page, please place the '''''<nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>''''' 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 [[UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Archive|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]].

==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 {{CodeInline|#}} 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 [[UDWiki:Administration/Speedy Deletions|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 Delete'''s are lodged, and there are no '''Keep''' Votes, the page will be deleted as per [[UDWiki:Administration/Speedy Deletions|Speedy Deletions]].

This little lot appears to be a long abandoned project for a Malton Newspaper.  Unfortunately the incidents it references are non notable, it is badly written and it hasn't been updated for nearly six years.  [[User:Gordon|Gordon]] 15:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
#'''Delete''' As above [[User:Gordon|Gordon]] 15:29, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - We kept it [[UDWiki:Administration/Speedy_Deletions/Archive/February-2007#Criterion_1_F|six years ago]] because it contains content. In this case the content is related to one of the two or three most notable events in the game's history. One so notable at the time that Kevin actually sold shirts about it in the UD store. So no, it's not something that should be deleted, speedy or otherwise, people ''still'' talk about the 2 Caiger sieges. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 10:03, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

===[[Guides:Making a successful group]]===

Pending completion since 2007 and serves the same purpose as the complete [[Guides:Guide to Forming Groups]] page. [[User:Gordon|Gordon]] 01:47, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

#'''Delete'''. Might as well have said: Step 1) Create Group. Step 2) ? Step 3) Profit! ~[[Image:Vsig.png|link=User:Vapor]] <sub>03:09, 1 February 2012 (UTC)</sub>
#'''Delete''' A particular highlight for me was the link to other guides so that people can actually find a useful one. The one listed above is far superior.--[[User:Shortround|Shortround]] 11:06, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
#'''Delete''' I took one look at it and went 'lolwut?' XD --{{:User:Thanatologist/Sig}} 07:41, 2 February 2012 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - I use this guide everytime I make a new group--{{User:AnimeSucks/Sig}} 18:57, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
#'''Keep''' - Brevity is the fountain of wit or some such nonsense. Clear, concise, and actually more accurate than the alternative, which may say more about the alternative. --<small>[[User:Karek#K|Karek]]<sup><font face="Monotype Corsiva">[[User:Karek/ProjDev#Buildings_Update_Danger_Maps|maps 2.0?!]]</font></sup></small> 10:05, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
