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

Crit 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.

A Crit 11 is a rare criterion which should be a scheduled deletion. The pages serve no purpose on the wiki, are already deleted on sight through A/SD, and because of the last requirement: "and any content on the page has been moved to the appropriate User: or Journal: page", to qualify as a Crit 11, these non-existant user pages have to be duped somewhere else upon deletion, also classing them as Crit 1's.

I proposed that confirmed Crit 11's be deleted on sight, because to be a crit 11 the information needs to already be duplicated in the correct user/journal space and hence the incorrect page holds no value on the wiki when it is submitted to A/SD, through its current system.

5. Yes Death to useless bureaucracy! --Honestmistake 13:17, 16 June 2009 (BST)
6. This isn't really needed because after you've moved the content to the user's subpage it can be deleted as a unused redirect. However, for clarity's sake Yes. -- Cheese 13:59, 16 June 2009 (BST)

   There's been a few examples where they've manually moved it to a subpage (after realizing their mistake,) but not A/SDing it, or where it's a dupe of their user page (typo, etc.) So a scheduled unused redirect deletion doesn't always hold ;) Linkthewindow  Talk  14:02, 16 June 2009 (BST)

15. Yes Wait... I must be the only stupid person here. I don't understand what this means. Does this mean, for example - "User:X" was dormant, and you wanted to delete "User:X/Shitystuff", you could, but only if "User:X/Shitystuff" was moved somewhere else first? Where would the content go? EDIT: Thanks for explaining.--_GANG Giles Sednik _CAPD 00:40, 17 June 2009 (BST)

    It's if there's a "User:X" page or subpages for a user that doesn't exist (no Wiki account), then that stuff is moved to the "User:Y" page or subpages where User Y is the actual person behind creating and maintaining the User X page. At least, that's what I got out of it. --Bob Boberton ^{TF / DW} 00:52, 17 June 2009 (BST)

    It's usually a case of 'User:L33tKiller' makes his userpage at 'User:L33tZombieKiller' because that is his character name (but the wiki account for that page doesn't exist), then realises what is going on and manually moves it. It's a rare case, but it happens from time to time. D^ANCED^ANCER^EVOLUTION (TALK | CONTRIBS) 02:42, 17 June 2009 (BST)
