UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Scheduling
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
Amending "Crit 7 by Proxy" scheduled deletion
If a page's author blanks it or replaces it with text indicating their desire to have it deleted, the page is to be deleted on sight. However, templates and other pages used as inclusions are exempted from Crit 7 by proxy.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 22:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes I beleive this meets the template concerns.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 22:24, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes Might as well remove/retract the vote further down then. --

Corollary to "Crit 7 by Proxy" scheduled deletion
If a page's author blanks it or replaces it with text indicating their desire to have it deleted, the page is to be deleted on sight. Current rules for deleting by proxy still apply as applicable.--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 04:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yes --~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 04:34, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- Yay -- 04:37, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
Yea Seems obvious enough.Nay - I had not thought about the template issue. Make an exception for that and I'm back on board. --Maverick Talk - OBR 404 06:22, 15 December 2009 (UTC)- Yea --Bob Boberton TF / DW 07:30, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- No - this would allow users to get templates, that may be in use on other people's pages, deleted with no record as to what happened. Stuff in their user space, stuff ups, or low content group pages maybe, but not everything -- boxy talk • teh rulz 07:37 15 December 2009 (BST)
- I'm not quite sure what you mean with the template thing; the user would still have to have been the creator to have the page deleted. Care to elaborate?--~ Red Hawk One Talk | space for lease 14:59, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- User A create a template. B includes it on their page. User A later blanks it and requests that it be deleted on it. B is out of luck when it gets deleted, despite the fact that B is using it. —Aichon— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- What people aren't getting is that it would be deleted anyway, either through A/SD or the already existing Crit 7 Proxy clause. The argument is redundant and complaining for the sake of complaining. --
- I wouldn't delete a template that was used elsewhere just because the author requested it. I'd roll back the pagewipe. Just because something meets a speedydelete criterion, doesn't mean it should automatically be deleted -- boxy talk • teh rulz 05:41 16 December 2009 (BST)
- Are you saying you wouldn't do the same rollback in the same situation had this scheduled passed? -- 06:20, 16 December 2009 (UTC)

- No - Boxy knows what he's on about. Not templates and such.--Yonnua Koponen Talk ! Contribs 07:43, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

- No - re boxy and I dont like the idea of deletion on sight as mentioned by red even if author signifys --C Whitty 15:12, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- No - It's not a lot of hassle to request deletion, and avoids any hassle this might cause. 15:24, 15 December 2009 (UTC)
- No - As boxy. Just change it so you can't delete included pages (as per Cyberbob's suggestion) and it'd be fine. —Aichon— 15:27, 15 December 2009 (UTC)

- No - Tidak bagus sekali, karena template masalah. See, I can speak another language too! I only needed to use Google Translate for one word! Seriously, as someone said, proposal is fine for low-key group pages and user pages, but there's a problem with it being applied to templates. Linkthewindow Talk 15:20, 20 December 2009 (UTC)
