Template:Moderationnav

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

Defunct Group Images

For the purposes of this proposed deletion, a "defunct group" is one whose page has been deleted from the wiki through either of the deletion pages. If a defunct group has any images related to their group (provided that they are otherwise unused) they may be deleted along with the group page. -- Cheese 00:00, 3 October 2009 (BST)

  1. Yes - Doesn't happen very often but saves it waiting for the month long unused requirement. -- Cheese 00:00, 3 October 2009 (BST)
  2. Yes - Deleting a group's page and subpages should also bring with it the deletion of images used only on those pages. We're coming to get you, Barbara 00:09, 3 October 2009 (BST)
  3. No - How 'bout you expand it any page, not just group? Assuming the image is not used. --  AHLGTG THE END IS NIGH! 00:12, 3 October 2009 (BST)
  4. No - As Gnome. Cyberbob  Talk  00:36, 3 October 2009 (BST)
  5. No - This only applies to pages less than a month old, which means that the owner would have to request through A/SD or A/D, and can be easily asked if they want the images gone as well. Group pages less than a month old that are deleted without the owners permission are extremely rare -- boxy talkteh rulz 03:22 3 October 2009 (BST)
  6. No - As per above. Fou-Lu 02:46, 4 October 2009 (BST)
  7. N0 i have no idea what i'm doing----SexualharrisonStarofdavid2.png Boobs.gif 15:01, 4 October 2009 (BST)

  10. No - Eh, they'll eventually work their way into unused images. --ZsL 06:47, 6 October 2009 (BST)
  11. No --Papa Johnny 17:30, 7 October 2009 (BST)
  12. No --Bob Boberton TF / DW Littlemudkipsig.gif 19:27, 7 October 2009 (BST)
