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

In addition to placing a request on this page, please place the {{delete}} 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 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, head for 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.

Speedy Deletion Eligibility

To be eligible for a Speedy Deletion Request, the page must fall under at least one of the following criteria:

1. No Content: The page contains no more than a line or two of content that cannot clearly be expanded, consists of random or incoherent content, or is duplicated elsewhere to no purpose.
2. Off-Topic: The page is a clearly off-topic page.
3. Unused Redirect: The page is an unused or underused (ie, only 1-2 pages using the link) redirect.
4. Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
5. Missed Talk Page: The page is a Talk: Page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so)

   As of 19 May 2010, Crit 5 is now a scheduled deletion.

6. Deletion Workaround: The page is a duplicate of a page that has been deleted from a previous deletion request (please note the relevant deletion request if this is so). A page that fits this criterion is immediately qualified for deletion without requiring it be nominated on the 'Speedy Deletions' page. Recreating a page that fits this criterion will get you a polite message to stop doing so. Any further infractions of this nature will qualify as vandalism and will be treated as such. Note that criterion 6 does not apply when the page has been restored through Undeletions.
7. Author Edit Only: The page has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author, and has been edited only by its author. Note that edits by adbots or vandals and reverts caused by them do not count.
8. User Page: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.
9. Personal Page (Prefix Rule): The page is named after a user without the "User:" or "Journal:" prefixes and its content has been moved to the appropriate User or Journal page. Includes pages that should be User subpages, ie. in-game characters.

   As of 2011, August 29, Crit 9 is now a scheduled deletion.

10. Unused Template: The page is a template that has existed for at least one week and is currently unused within the wiki.
11. Non-existent User Page: The page is a User: page for a user that doesn't exist, and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page.

    As of 20 June 2009, Crit 11 is now a scheduled deletion.

12. Defunct group page: The page is a non-historical group page, it is over two months old, it has not had an update in a month, and is not on the stats page. Such pages will remain in the queue for 5 days to determine their defunct status has been correctly identified. Due to the large number of pages that fit into this criterion, please {{speedydelete12}} on the pages to ensure that they are categorized differently from normal speedy deletion requests.

    As of 2007, September 16, this is no longer a valid criterion.

13. Missed sub-page: The page is a sub-page from a previous deletion request that has not been deleted with the request, and that serves no individual purpose (please note the relevant deletion request).

A page may also fall under a scheduled deletion and should be posted here if it is missed by the sysops.

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 # 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 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 Deletes are lodged, and there are no Keep Votes, the page will be deleted as per Speedy Deletions.

Sonny, really? WTF? That's annoying and a poor reason to vote keep. By that logic you should be protesting deleting spam bots and never ever deleting anything off your talk page.

Done author is MIA, no content, and is pretty stupid anyway. (the last part has nothing to do with why it was deleted though.)--– Nubis ^NWO 02:56, 5 July 2009 (BST)

...Sonny was quite obviously taking the piss. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 16:39, 6 July 2009 (BST)

Chocolate Thunder Kill List, Kill list for second time victims

Being the original author of these pages, I am asking for their deletion because I have replaced them with this page, which will be more organized as our group gets more kills. The old are no longer needed. --Alevins 19:03, 1 July 2009 (BST)

Image:Fcf1.jpg, Image:Fcf2.jpg, Image:Fcf3.jpg, Image:Fcf4.jpg, Image:Fcf5.jpg and Image:Fcf6.jpg

Clear line drawing of an ejaculating penis. Doesn't belong on the wiki.

(And, yes, I would put these up for deletion separately, but these cases are clearly linked.) Linkthewindow  Talk  05:44, 29 June 2009 (BST)

1. Delete - They won't mind it gone, anyhoo, according to their page. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 05:54, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   If you'll give me a link, I can drop my Keep.--Thadeous Oakley 14:02, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   You're a lazy fuck. There's a link to the guy's userpage from the file history section in each of the image pages. --Cyberbob 16:56, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   I was asking for a link where they say they don't mind it gone.--Thadeous Oakley 18:00, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   On the page it's being used on. Scroll down to the "Generally giving a shit" part of the bar graph. And Cyberbob, you're just as lazy, M4rduK's userpage isn't what I'm talking about and you didn't take the time to look at his page either. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 00:24, 30 June 2009 (BST)

   you dumb? Userpages have a link to that user's contributions. --Cyberbob 23:16, 1 July 2009 (BST)

   you stupid? I say the explanation for them not caring "is on their page," "their" as in plural - M4rduk is identified as a guy, also there are no girls on the internet - so it's obvious you go to the Dead Bunny page. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 02:56, 2 July 2009 (BST)

2. Keep - please explain to me exactly what about Image:Fcf1.jpg suggests an ejaculating penis? If you want these images judged separately make separate cases.--xoxo 13:21, 29 June 2009 (BST)

   This isn't the first time that related images/pages have been lumped together for deletions voting. It's standard practice. In any event, you can vote yes/no for each seperately. You know this, J3D. --WanYao 19:03, 1 July 2009 (BST)

   I know i can vote on them separately however i choose to vote keep on all of them unless they are placed separately.--xoxo 16:23, 6 July 2009 (BST)

3. Keep - For the simple reason they are being used. See here. Deleting it for sake of it looking like an "ejaculating penis" is unnecessary. It remains just lines, it's not like its pornographic. Un-tasteful humor at worst.--Thadeous Oakley 13:59, 29 June 2009 (BST)
4. Keep - This is art --Sonny Corleone ^{DORIS I jizzed in my pants pr0n} 15:05, 29 June 2009 (BST)
5. Keep - Bah, I see worse drawings in the toilet cubicles at work. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 15:21, 29 June 2009 (BST)
6. Keep - Link, this is petty. I mean, come on.--SirArgo ^Talk 15:46, 29 June 2009 (BST)
7. Keep - Shitty 2 Special-style humour but unless it's directed at a person or something it's okay. --Cyberbob 16:56, 29 June 2009 (BST)
8. Keep - As above.-- Adward  18:02, 29 June 2009 (BST)
9. Keep - Oh, my virgin eyes! --Blackboard 00:20, 30 June 2009 (BST)

   I laughed. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 03:32, 2 July 2009 (BST)

10. Delete - Childish bullshit. --WanYao 18:59, 1 July 2009 (BST) Moreoever, I seem recall much more "artistic" and less pathetic, "pornographic" ASCII art being deleted in the past -- so it's like it's without precedent or anything to delete trash like this.... --WanYao 19:05, 1 July 2009 (BST)
11. Delete - As Wan Yao. --Haliman - Talk 03:02, 2 July 2009 (BST)
12. Keep - A harmless comment on Fort dwellers that many folk agree with, sure its tasteless but so what? --Honestmistake 08:21, 2 July 2009 (BST)
13. Delete - as Wan Yao. --Violet Begonia _{Dean MCM MOB} 07:04, 4 July 2009 (BST)

    added: And clearly they really don't care, as it appears to be gone. --Violet Begonia _{Dean MCM MOB} 18:15, 4 July 2009 (BST)

14. Keep - As above. --Papa Moloch 23:20, 4 July 2009 (BST)

Deleted - It's a step by step process of drawing the penor that is shotting stuffs, therefore all pornographic.--Mr. Angel, Help needed? 02:26, 5 July 2009 (BST)
