UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling

Shortcut:
A/D/S

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 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 Archive.

Scheduling requests under consideration

Missed Talk Pages

Basically this would make Crit 5 a scheduled deletion. There aren't many missed talk pages but we might as well just make them delete on sight. -- Cheese 17:43, 4 May 2010 (BST)

2. Yea - And to save people the trouble of looking, crit 5 is: "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)."--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 18:02, 4 May 2010 (BST)
3. Fuck yeah 18:17, 4 May 2010 (BST)
4. Yes--User:Yonnua Koponen/signature2 18:18, 4 May 2010 (BST)
5. Yes-User:Whitehouse 18:56, 4 May 2010 (BST)
6. Yes - Should have always been scheduled, since it's the result of a mistake in the first place. I assume we will not need to make note of the previous deletion request? Or would we be expected to link it in the comment? —Aichon— 19:14, 4 May 2010 (BST)
7. Ja - No page should mean no talk. Q. JuliusTBH 21:47, 4 May 2010 (BST)
8. I approve - of this message. --

9. yes - I wanted to put this forward about 6 months ago but I heard some very good reasons not to. There are some interesting reasons why missed talk pages shouldn't be deleted on sight but honestly I never cared and I just think they should be gone. --

10. No As much as I like the idea, someones still going to have to submit them. It's not like the mods will go looking for them. The process via speedy deletion remains unchanged by this suggested policy. -Poodle of Doom^{M! T} 01:33, 5 May 2010 (BST)

    Point the one: Some people use IRC and point things out to sysops there. Point the two: Many Crit 5s are noticed by sysops double-checking each other's work, who are currently required to post them to A/SD, rather than being allowed to act on them themselves. In fact, it's already common practice on IRC for sysops to nudge each other whenever one discovers a Crit 5. The nudging is then usually followed up by mutual griping about how much Crit 5 sucks. All of these are common situations that run contrary to your last statement. —Aichon— 01:45, 5 May 2010 (BST)
