UDWiki:Administration/Deletions/Archive/2011 06
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:
- 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.
- Off-Topic: The page is a clearly off-topic page.
- Unused Redirect: The page is an unused or underused (ie, only 1-2 pages using the link) redirect.
- Empty Category: The page is a Category page that has no entries within it.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- User Page: The page is a User subpage that has been requested for speedy deletion by the original author.
- 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.
- Unused Template: The page is a template that has existed for at least one week and is currently unused within the wiki.
- 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.
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.
- 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.

Old Image Deletion Request
- File: Image:Feon.jpg
- Request: Please delete this as I wish it to be removed (I hope I have done this right - please forgive me if I haven't).
- Reason: Old image of mine for my profile (my own work too) that isn't used anymore. No longer needed by me and no one else uses it. Many Thanks.

Category:Human Groups
Today I moved the 1000+ pages from this category to the more correct Category:Survivor Groups. I have copied the content over from the original, fixed up the pages in the category, and fixed up the links. I would move this and create a redirect though A/MV but I think the red link is a better detterent from this category ever spawning in the wiki again. Discussion?
Please note that the 30 or so pages remaining in the category are protected and thus will be moved by a sysop in due time. After that, the page will be Crit 4 worthy. DANCEDANCEREVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 19:07, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Barhah-Raz
A propaganda page pushed by the long inactive Rowcliffe Must Fall group. Most of the content is just an out of date edit of the Pegton page. Their various propagandistic additions are also repeated on their group page anyway. I guess it could just be moved to a group subpage, but as noted above they are inactive, and the content is largely duplicated. I bring it here, since more discussion can be generated.
Included in this request are the following:
User:DangerReport/Barhah-RazUser:NTstatus/Barhah-RazTemplate:NonSuburb - (Redundant if page deleted)- Barhah-Raz Building Information Center

Grayside Civil War
A pointless page about a non-event which provides not a whit of useful, informative, factual or even entertaining information. It doesn't approach anywhere near NPOV: it's just a collage of POV rants which don't even make sense. --WanYao 00:22, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

If I remember correctly, the content is quite different (but one could argue that this page still is breaking the spirit of the policy-although it would be a bit of a long shot, tbh.) This silly little bout of drama has been going on for a while, it seems. Linkthewindow Talk 12:26, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

- Meh, there's no potential here. It's too big a mess, and everything I have seen of the contributors points to the fact that they don't possess the skill set to turn it into a coherent page. Furthermore, I object to the name. STARS, who are probably the single most important group in E Grayside, weren't involved in this.... Therefore to call it a "civil war" when the largest, longest-standing, most important group in the suburb had nothing to do with it is misleading. If someone wants to create a REAL page, with a legit title and REAL content on this conflict -- fine. But this page belongs in the trash. --WanYao 20:20, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

- Does it need to be? The one already in their group space is fine, after the first deletions case over two of their pages, we stated if they were so inclined to make a page, not to mention our name anywhere. So if this one was deleted, it leaves that one, and if only that one remains, with no reference to us, I don't care. Although the upcoming Project Malton page they're creating doesn't look promising. --Ryzak Black 14:07, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

- Users don't get redirect from the main namespace. There is absolutely nothing to say that you can't redirect an old account to a new account if you change usernames. It's pure common sense to do so, so that the user can still be found later despite having a whole new user name -- boxy talk • teh rulz 03:27 13 February 2009 (BST)
