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 [[UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling/Archive|Archive]].

===0x0 Images===
''There are currently no requests under consideration.''
As you can see by this example: [[:Image:2cola.jpg]], 0x0 images are unusable images that come across once every while. It is a result of offering a corrupt file to the wiki. The images are unusable and already deleted without thought on [[A/SD]]. Because users get redirected to their image once they've uploaded it, the author of the image is already made aware of it's state and hence all 0x0 images I've seen get discarded upon upload. I'd like to submit these images for scheduled deletions. --[[User:DanceDanceRevolution|<big><u><span style="color:DarkSlateGray">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkBlue ">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkSlateBlue">ℜ</span></u></big>]] 15:08, 28 July 2009 (BST)

::Don't you think it would be a better idea to not just delete them, but to try to fix them if they are recent uploads that have gone wrong?

:::Don't stereotype this as a noob mistake because it isn't.

#'''Yea''' - I wanted to make a clause that ensured sysops also notify the author that their image got deleted, but decided it was unnecessary since, as above, all authors see their work after the upload anyway. --[[User:DanceDanceRevolution|<big><u><span style="color:DarkSlateGray">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkBlue ">ϑ</span><span style="color:DarkSlateBlue">ℜ</span></u></big>]] 15:08, 28 July 2009 (BST)

#'''Yea''' - Sounds good. --{{User:Axe27/Sig}} 16:51, 28 July 2009 (BST)
#'''No''' - to deleting the page outright, you can usually save these images from the revision history. I fixed the above example and it's now a prefectably usable image. '''Yes''' to making the 0x0 revision a scheduled though, after the image is saved (or if it cannot be). {{User:The_Rooster/Sig}} 17:38, 28 July 2009 (BST)
#'''Yea''' - What is the point of having extra storage space on this site getting filled up with nothing? Paradoxical sure but there is no point to having useless images that take up space. [[User:Aka Paradox|Aka Paradox]] 19:00, 28 July 2009 (BST)

Administration Services

Sysop List (Check) | Guidelines | Policies (Discussion) | Promotions (Bureaucrat) | Re-Evaluations

Deletions (Scheduling) | Speedy Deletions | Undeletions | Vandal Banning (Bots) | Vandal Data (De-Escalations)

Protections (Scheduling) | Move Requests | Arbitration | Misconduct | Demotions | Discussion | Sysop Archives

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 vote fails, it will be cycled as unsuccessful. The closed request can then get shifted to the Archive.

Scheduling requests under consideration

There are currently no requests under consideration.

Recent Requests

There are currently no recently served requests.

For older cases, please see the archive.
