Keep So wait, since it didn't seem you were getting your way in the discussion you're just gonna try to force it down here? Nice. (Fails crit 7 and 8 since NOT requested by original author here)-- Thadeous Oakley Talk 18:54, 4 May 2011 (BST)

It's called following procedure, something I don't expect you to understand. Anyways, turns out this was a mistake stemming from a misunderstanding, so Retracted. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:10, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Also, please note the exact wording: “…has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.” No mention of where, which IMO is as it should be. (And no, I do not expect this to be abused, for the simple reason that the original author can come back and prove the request false should they not have made the request.) ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:16, 4 May 2011 (BST)

User:Iscariot/Signature

“	I think you're barking up the wrong histories, when I left I don't remember asking for Ross et al to delete my user page, although it may have escaped my memory. What I did want deleting was User: Iscariot/Signature, which was done and then stupidly overridden by certain people trying to take a shot at me after I'd left.	”
—Iscariot

Same reason as the above, right page this time. Should be Scheduled (Crit 7 by proxy), but playing this by the book. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:10, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Keep, because this would be bound to leave improper sigs calling a non-existent page all over the place. What could be done is to replace the code on the page with a plain userpage link, which would both get rid of the original sig and leave the pages it appears on in order. -- Spiderzed█ 19:26, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Per precedent, a redlink is fine too; but OK, move this to A/D and prolong this whole pointless debate, if you want. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:33, 4 May 2011 (BST)

The issue is that it would leave a redlink to User:Iscariot/Signature, not to User:Iscariot. The latter would be fine, the former would be problematic. -- Spiderzed█ 19:37, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Userspace has subpages enabled, so that page will link back to his userpage. Nor pretty, but completely unambiguous. That said, if you want to go ahead and replace them, be my guest. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:41, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Spidey, crit 7 over-rides keep votes (same applies to thad above). Rev, was this an email request? if so, can you get a screenshot, or get him to email me? Sorry, but since there's been so much arguing, I feel a nice email screencap would resolve it. If you post one, I'll delete it as soon as I can.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:19, 4 May 2011 (BST)

If you doubt me, email him for confirmation yourself. Posting quotes is one thing; posting entire correspondence without permission is another entirely. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 20:51, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Will do. I don't doubt you, it would just be weird for me to do a deletion without talking to him myself.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:56, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Sorry, I can't, because his email isn't registered on the system.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 21:01, 4 May 2011 (BST)

What exactly were you doing there? Removing the link to Iscariot's blog and first name that you provided? How come all of a sudden? Did Iscariot ask you to remove them after you placed it? -- Thadeous Oakley

Exactly that. Personal Information is a scheduled deletion. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:21, 4 May 2011 (BST)

I know it's an instant speedy, but I wanted to know if Izzy asked you to remove it. -- Thadeous Oakley Talk 19:23, 4 May 2011 (BST)

“	Did you have to do that? Not only has it artificially jacked the stats of one pointless post, but it's also pointed a whole load of people I didn't want to associate with directly to me. Quoting right to disappear from Wikipedia is all well and good, but I'd actually managed to disappear until you drew them a map.	”
—Iscariot

Does that satisfy you? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:29, 4 May 2011 (BST)

The gravity of unwanted shared personal information strongly outweighs the need to follow minor procedure rules. Rev made the right judgement call in this case. -- Spiderzed█ 19:35, 4 May 2011 (BST)

I followed procedure completely. ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 19:43, 4 May 2011 (BST)

—UDWiki:Administration/Deletion Schedule

strange, I'd already seen that page, so I guess there might be other links floating about the wiki (that or I saw it via the UDwiki facebook page). May be best to keep an eye out.--Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 20:22, 4 May 2011 (BST)

There's a UDWiki Facebook page? Link plz? ᚱᛁᚹᛖᚾᚨᚾᛏ 20:36, 4 May 2011 (BST)

LOL I didn't mean UDwiki. I meant the UD characters one. Although I'm totally making a UDwiki facebook group now. ;) --Yonnua Koponen ^{T G P} ^^^ 21:02, 4 May 2011 (BST)

Template:UDWikiTV/Newsroom

Crit 10. ~ _{06:49, 2 May 2011 (UTC)}

Isn't meant to be a template, and has content. Should probably rather be moved to the template talk page? -- Spiderzed█ 12:38, 2 May 2011 (BST)

UDWikiTV is just a redirect to the template but I think perhaps just moving to UDWikiTV/Newsroom would be nicer. I like that news! Has potential, sad it's died though. -- ϑ^anceϑ^anceℜ^evolution 12:55, 2 May 2011 (BST)

Moved to UDWikiTV/Newsroom. ~ _{16:53, 2 May 2011 (UTC)}
