Proposal VIII (Procedure)[edit]

(Vote) (Discuss)

The following should be added to the lead (or other appropriate section) of Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion:

Interpretation of these guidelines is very often subjective, and sometimes controversial, especially when an article's deletion could be later contested. In order to avoid most problems, every deletion of a page under these cases must be the result of a request made by a user other than the deleting admin ("tag and bag"). The most common way this can be achieved is for one editor to add the {{delete}} template to the page. Whatever the method, the request must be documented before deletion on either the article itself or its talk page. The only exceptions are:
  1. undisputed vandalism or test pages/gibberish
  2. an admin's own user space subpages
  3. the admin is the sole editor

Votes[edit]

Agree[edit]

  1. A simple solution to avoid problems, it is done very often today already. Probably will make expansion of CSD's more acceptable because of the safeguard. -- Netoholic @ 00:06, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

  11. Can't hurt. It doesn't infringe upon getting rid of "fggfthgrhthj" with ease, and it ensures better decisions in the event of a dubious speedy candidate. --Slowking Man 07:46, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)

  27. bernlin2000 ∞ 16:08, Jan 9, 2005 (UTC): Not that I don't trust admins but there job is to delete articles, not propose article deletion (however, I'm fine with one admin proposing and the another deleting). This procedure would makes CSD even more clear and clean-cut, to avoid a messy and quick deletion without contributor's knowledge.
  28. For the sake of mitigating bitter disputes. (Hope it is still allowed for an admin to delete a page temporarily, e.g. for swapping two pages or for merging edit histories). -- Paddu 21:26, 9 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  29. Visviva 10:25, 10 Jan 2005 (UTC) Reasonable. Although I'd prefer to omit "undisputed vandalism." If the admin hasn't discussed the article with any other editors, then the definition of it as vandalism will obviously be "undisputed." But on balance, I think this is a good addition to our deletion policy.

  10. The first exception bothers me as people declare things as obvious "vandalism" too commonly and others don't feel that level of herecy dispute. It's become the Wikipedia equivalent of Godwin's law.--Sketchee 01:44, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
