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, 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.

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.

Deletion Queue

La Révolution

Done trying stuff now Ross? -Poodle of doom 23:14, 21 October 2009 (BST)

1. Keep - unless the ghost issue is cleared up, it should be kept, so that it doesn't end up on the uncategorised list -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:27 22 October 2009 (BST)

   What's the ghost issue? -Poodle of doom 00:37, 22 October 2009 (BST)

   There's a link on the page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 00:48 22 October 2009 (BST)

2. Keep - Because of the Ghost issue, they'll always show up on every Special Page you can see them on now (except shortpages I think, but thats the only one)- the only difference being now you can see what the problem is and be informed about it. I don't mind if these do get deleted, but I think it's a little more helpful this way. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 02:21, 22 October 2009 (BST)
3. Keep - Don't ask people if they're finished with a page by putting up for deletion. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 02:23, 22 October 2009 (BST)
4. Speedy Delete - Crit 1. --WanYao 02:36, 22 October 2009 (BST)
5. Keep - I don't think Wan quite gets what ghost pages and images are. Cyberbob  Talk  06:29, 22 October 2009 (BST)

   I don't think you quite get how stupid you look with your pettiness, bob. You think that because a bug tells me I can't delete a page, that should influence my vote that it should be deleted? I voted correctly, according the content of the page. Unlike everyone else.

   Seriously... is your life really that empty that you need to fill it with lame attempts to insult me? Or are you just out of your meds? --WanYao 14:25, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   I don't like Bob whatsoever but srsly Wan, you just lamely insulted him in a more lame way than he first lamely insulted you in the first place. Lame. Also you're a cunt.--CyberRead240 15:29, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   Whoa, the Meds Insult... I haven't seen one of those in minutes Cyberbob  Talk  15:34, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   You get those comments a lot, I take it. --WanYao 15:55, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   Nooo....maan seriously, that isn't even remotely witty come on--CyberRead240 18:26, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   Your second line is especially ironic. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 15:38, 24 October 2009 (BST)

   WHOA!!! I made drama!!!! -Poodle of Doom ^M! 16:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC) - Multi-vote struck. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 16:30, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

   Multi vote? -Poodle of Doom ^M! 16:39, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

6. Keep - You can't kill a ghost.--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 07:54, 22 October 2009 (BST)

7. Keep Because its a ghost image. Good try though poodle. --Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 09:24, 22 October 2009 (BST)
8. Keep - Although, I wouldn't care if it was deleted. Remove the strike and this comment when you sign your vote. I also recommend that you take the time to read up on what ghost images and pages are. Cyberbob  Talk  03:51, 23 October 2009 (BST)
9. Keep - --KNITKNITINSTITUTION 12:09, 23 October 2009 (BST)
10. Keep - eep! Nice article on ghosts, bummer.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 11:56, 24 October 2009 (BST)
11. Keep Let's see how many of you notice my vote,... and find humor in it. -Poodle of Doom ^M! 16:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

    Being English I can only find humour. But thats fine with me.--Rosslessness^{Want a Location Image?} 16:27, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

A Quick Zombie Guide

A "guide" of horrid quality that hasn't been added to since 2007.--Teln 20:36, 19 October 2009 (BST)

1. Delete As Teln said above. -Poodle of doom 02:25, 20 October 2009 (BST)
2. Keep - We don't delete guides that are bad, that's what Guides/Review is for, of which this has already been put through. Most guides haven't been touched since 2007. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 05:16, 20 October 2009 (BST)
3. Delete - It's not a guide, it's pure coded vomit. -- . . <== DDR Approved Editor 15:56, 20 October 2009 (BST)
4. Keep - It doesn't matter if the guide sucks or if you disagree with it, there's no reason to go deleting articles all willy nilly.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 16:01, 20 October 2009 (BST)
5. Delete --  RoosterDragon  16:19, 20 October 2009 (BST)

12. Keep - It's not a group page, it's pure coded vomit. Cyberbob  Talk  07:44, 21 October 2009 (BST)
13. Delete - As Iscariot. That guide is pure shit. It tells you not to get Ankle Grab until later? AG is almost a REQUIREMENT to be a zombie.-- SA 12:01, 23 October 2009 (BST)
14. Delete--Winman1 15:57, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
15. Delete --Zaphord 06:44, 1 November 2009 (UTC)

The Southern Cross Club

2. Speedy Delete Cyberbob  Talk  07:09, 17 October 2009 (BST)

   Keep - eh, fuckit Cyberbob  Talk  09:56, 19 October 2009 (BST)

   As long as it means you will let your name on the list though, tbh making fun of hating each other really isn't that bad.--CyberRead240 15:08, 19 October 2009 (BST)

3. Delete--Yonnua Koponen ^{Talk ! Contribs} 09:27, 17 October 2009 (BST)

   jealous northerners....xoxo 09:19, 18 October 2009 (BST)

9. DelKeep!--Nallan (Talk) 10:49, 18 October 2009 (BST)
10. Keep - Okay, so... it's a list of users from australia. Not very interesting. But the reaction to the list is entertaining and worth preserving. Also, what sexylegsread said.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 11:22, 18 October 2009 (BST)

    talk page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 08:17 19 October 2009 (BST)

11. Delete - If and only if DDR's stance on it is actually the majority stance in Australia. Though in my time there I never once heard of anyone considering a symbol of hatred, and it's pretty much the only symbol of Australia (other than kangaroos and those silly corks-on-strings hats) that the majority of the world would recognise at a glance.

    Yeah, let's go with keep. 12:06, 18 October 2009 (BST)

    talk page -- boxy ^{talk • teh rulz} 08:17 19 October 2009 (BST)

12. Keep who cares if your name is on a mainspace list of people from down under that is obviously not serious. Have a bit of humour instead of blindly saying OMG NO WAI to everything your "enemy" says OMG YES WAI to. Idiots, the lot of you.--CyberRead240 09:52, 19 October 2009 (BST)
13. Keep --Shakey ^BBK 11:21, 24 October 2009 (BST)
14. Delete - The hideous urge to nullify Shakey's vote has overcome me. --DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION-- 02:44, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

    Oh you cunt. But i think you could have won the record for most changes on one vote, maybe one more change'll be the ticket ;) xoxo 09:29, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

15. Delete - The Southern Cross is not isolated to just Australia so I believe this club is a misrepresentation of Australia and needs to be culled. Also, Shakey is always wrong so... --Guy.The.Firefighter 09:49, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

    Wow should've read the page first... still delete —The preceding unsigned comment was added by User:Guy.The.Firefighter (talk • contribs) at an unknown time.

    discussion moved to talk page --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 16:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)

16. Keep i lieks it --People's Commissar Hagnat ^{[talk] [wcdz]} 16:44, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
17. Keep -J3D's douchery amuses me.--GomerPyle41 08:33, 1 November 2009 (UTC)
