with general vandalism in mainspace, or consisting of purely false/joke information. Obvious G10 deletions are similar, except that they typically attack a person by insulting them (like saying they're dumb), or an attempt to slander them by posting (usually false) unsourced information. Most of these obvious G10-deleteable pages are made for vandalistic purposes, and so they can technically also be a valid G3 deletion too. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Vandalism#Page_creation,_illegitimate" title="Wikipedia:Vandalism">It is even considered to be vandalism to create attack pages</a>. </p><p>This also brings me to another point. BLP violations, vandalism, spam, all of these can be quickly removed by any editor if it appeared in an article. However, if any of these appeared as a standalone page, it is not possible to revert the page to remove such disruptive additions, so we speedily delete these pages instead. Of all the general speedy deletion criteria, only G10 is used to blank a page's contents, in accordance with <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Attack_page" title="Wikipedia:Attack page">Wikipedia:Attack page</a>. However, I don't see a point in having to blank such pages, when all of its contents won't be indexed if tagged for speedy deletion. Once the page is tagged for deletion, any legal harm that the page could cause is immediately gone. If someone, either an editor or just a reader, somehow manages to come across an article that was tagged for deletion under G10 or some other criterion, common sense would indicate that the page is illegitimate. </p><p>These are some things that I've thought of in regards to the purpose of G10: Combining G3 and G10 for the reasons I specified above would be something I won't mind too much. Most G10-deleteable pages are made in bad faith, with an intent to vandalize Wikipedia. I would not mind blanking general pure vandalism pages either. Courtesy blanking attack pages seems redundant as tagging such pages already prevents it from being seen by search engines, the one place we do not want them appearing in, so not blanking such pages at all would not change much. Alternatively, make certain criteria cause a page to be blanked, which in addition to G3 and G10, it would also be useful for G1 (unsalvageable junk), G5 (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DENY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DENY">WP:DENY</a>), G7 (often used for pages blanked by the author), U5 and G11 (prevent spammers from getting recognition), and G12 (for legal reasons, though it might make it harder to check for copyvios). </p><p>I would like to know what other people think about G10's purpose. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:EDM_fan_2&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:EDM fan 2 (page does not exist)">EDM fan 2</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:EDM_fan_2" class="mw-redirect" title="User talk:EDM fan 2">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z-CSD_G3_vs._G10,_and_blanking_of_pages_by_G10" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">05:17, 2 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z-CSD_G3_vs._G10,_and_blanking_of_pages_by_G10"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z-CSD_G3_vs._G10,_and_blanking_of_pages_by_G10"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Oiyarbepsy-2022-05-02T06:11:00.000Z-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z"></span>The difference is urgency. If mere vandalism sits around for a day or so, no big deal, but attack pages are much more urgent and many admins check those first. We need to have the distinction. And the noindexing doesn't help that much. Many search engines do not honor noindex requests, so the only way to really eliminate this is thru deletion. <a href="/wiki/User:Oiyarbepsy" title="User:Oiyarbepsy">Oiyarbepsy</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Oiyarbepsy" title="User talk:Oiyarbepsy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Oiyarbepsy-2022-05-02T06:11:00.000Z-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:11, 2 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Oiyarbepsy-2022-05-02T06:11:00.000Z-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Oiyarbepsy-2022-05-02T06:11:00.000Z-EDM_fan_2-2022-05-02T05:17:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?" data-mw-thread-id="h-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"><span id="Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace.3F"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span>Does G6 apply to redirects created via page move in the file namespace?<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?"></span>Hey folks, I've been seeing several admins delete numerous pages such as <a href="/w/index.php?title=File:Sangamamalbumcover.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="File:Sangamamalbumcover.jpg (page does not exist)">File:Sangamamalbumcover.jpg</a>, <a href="/w/index.php?title=File:Yaar_1985.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="File:Yaar 1985.jpg (page does not exist)">File:Yaar 1985.jpg</a>, and <a href="/w/index.php?title=File:America_Ammayi.jpg&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="File:America Ammayi.jpg (page does not exist)">File:America Ammayi.jpg</a>, citing criteria such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G6" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">G6</a>/<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#G7" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">G7</a>/<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD#R3" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">R3</a>.

This addition seems incompatible with the language of G6/G7/R3 as currently written. To be clear, I'm indifferent to the outcome, but there is a consistency issue here, and we need to decide whether this is acceptable and/or update the text of the relevant CSD criteria accordingly. -<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Fastily" title="User talk:Fastily"><span style="font-family:'Trebuchet MS';color:Indigo;font-weight:bold;"><span style="font-size:120%;">F</span><span style="font-size:90%;">ASTILY</span></span></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:25, 29 March 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z-Does_G6_apply_to_redirects_created_via_page_move_in_the_file_namespace?"></span> </p> <ul><li><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Steel1943-2022-03-29T03:38:00.000Z-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span>No, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FILEREDIRECT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FILEREDIRECT">WP:FILEREDIRECT</a>. <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Steel1943&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Steel1943 (page does not exist)"><span style="color: #3F00FF;"><i><b>Steel1943</b></i></span></a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Steel1943" title="User talk:Steel1943">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Steel1943-2022-03-29T03:38:00.000Z-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">03:38, 29 March 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Steel1943-2022-03-29T03:38:00.000Z-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Steel1943-2022-03-29T03:38:00.000Z-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span></li> <li><small><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-2022-03-29T03:44:00.000Z-Fastily-2022-03-29T03:25:00.000Z"></span>(<a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_conflict" title="Help:Edit conflict">edit conflict</a>)</small> G7 clearly doesn't apply unless the mover is the same as the person who uploaded the file (or the uploader requested the file be moved without a redirect). R3 clearly doesn't apply unless the file was moved soon after being uploaded. I really don't see a reason G6 would apply here. And there's no contradiction in the policy as worded; people are allowed to move files without leaving a redirect, but not delete any redirects if they were originally left behind -- this is probably not the intent, but it isn't contradictory.

Going around and deleting file redirects citing G6 is a bad idea because there may be external links or old revisions for which it would still be useful (imo the rationale behind <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FILEREDIRECT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FILEREDIRECT">WP:FILEREDIRECT</a>). For files covered by PMRC10, they are generally not widely used and the redirect isn't really worth the added maintenance burden (imo the rationale behind <a href="/wiki/Special:Diff/391485868/prev" title="Special:Diff/391485868/prev">the move interface text</a>). They are treated differently because they are different: not leaving a redirect behind is a different thing from typical page deletion even if the software treats them similarly. Now, the files <a href="/w/index.php?title=User:Fastily&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User:Fastily (page does not exist)">you</a> bring up as examples are interesting. They all seem to be redirects left behind by a single editor who then requested that they be deleted. To me this seems like the editor forgot to suppress the redirect and asked admins to clean up after them. I think G6 covers that.

I thought I would give my perspective on the action rather than if it falls under G6 or not. For me, most files stored on Wikipedia instead of commons are licence restricted and can't be used on multiple pages, this means that there is only going to be the file link that is in the specified article and possibly 1 or 2 talk page mentions. Therefore the redirect will serve no purpose as it is unlikley to be found through search, there should be no usecase that I can think of where the redirect would be used over the new filename and if someone did come across the deleted page then they could just use the deletion log link to find the new page. I am unsure if you can upload a file over a redirect (But I assume you can't), this is significant in some cases of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:FNC#5" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:FNC">WP:FNC#5</a> where an uploader has made a mistake but still needs to upload to that filename.

It's supposed to lessen the load on other deletion processes for cases in which those processes would almost certainly end with the deletion of the page. Consequently, if the admin reviewing a speedy deletion request thinks that a specific page <i>might</i> survive PROD/XFD, they should decline the request and direct the user to those processes instead. Speedy deletion, like all deletion processes, presupposes that the deletion would be beneficial to the project compared to keeping the page (arg. ex. <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PRESERVE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PRESERVE">WP:PRESERVE</a>). If you do not think this is the case, you don't have to delete it and you are allowed to decline it. I have declined dozens of speedy requests (<a href="/wiki/User:SoWhy/List_of_declined_speedies" title="User:SoWhy/List of declined speedies">see this almost complete list</a>) by telling people to use XFD instead and quite a few of those still exist today (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Tyler_Yarema" title="Tyler Yarema">Tyler Yarema</a>, <a href="/wiki/Zak_Kustok" title="Zak Kustok">Zak Kustok</a>). I even fixed up a number of those (especially A7 noms) to the point that they were featured on the main page (e.g. <a href="/wiki/Unavowed" title="Unavowed">Unavowed</a>). Point is, erring on the side of caution seems to me the prudent thing to do whenever you are unsure and speedy deletion policy does allow this.

I have written a new user essay that expresses my view on how <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:G5" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:G5">WP:G5</a> should be interpreted: see <b><a href="/wiki/User:Mz7/G5_is_not_a_firm_rule" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Mz7/G5 is not a firm rule">User:Mz7/G5 is not a firm rule</a></b>. I am a relatively active <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SPI" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SPI">WP:SPI</a> administrator, so I find myself using G5 a lot when I respond to nonconstructive content created by sockpuppets of blocked users. I've been noticing that there have been a decent number of discussions lately that express concern over the use of G5: specifically, when administrators appear to indiscriminately delete helpful new pages without regard for their quality just because they were created by a blocked user. I hope that this essay is helpful in addressing those concerns, and I would invite your thoughts.

Ignoring seemingly "helpful" pages which are in reality hoaxes/copyvio/fake sources, there is a school which considers the deterrent effect more important than the quality of the deleted article and another with the opposite weighting. <a href="/wiki/User:Jo-Jo_Eumerus" title="User:Jo-Jo Eumerus">Jo-Jo Eumerus</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Jo-Jo_Eumerus" title="User talk:Jo-Jo Eumerus">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z-Mz7-2022-05-22T07:42:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">08:55, 22 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z-Mz7-2022-05-22T07:42:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z-Mz7-2022-05-22T07:42:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z"></span>I think the divide really is different opinions on what being banned (i.e. not allowed to edit) should mean in practice. When a banned editor creates a sock and edits, should we (a) block the sock and treat the edits exactly like those of a non-banned editor (keep the good stuff, delete the bad stuff) or should we (b) block and enforce the "not allowed to edit" by indiscriminately revert/delete everything. There are editors in camp (a) who think that bans should only be a shortcut for faster blocking of socks. I find that utterly pointless: if we want an editor's contributions, we should just unban them instead of encouraging them to change username all the time. So I'm in camp (b): banned editors are not allowed to make edits, including good edits, so we should reject all of their edits regardless of quality and without triage. —<a href="/wiki/User:Kusma" title="User:Kusma">Kusma</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Kusma" title="User talk:Kusma">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">09:48, 22 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z-Jo-Jo_Eumerus-2022-05-22T08:55:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Chipmunkdavis-2022-05-22T10:36:00.000Z-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z"></span>There's also an important consideration of volunteer time. Perhaps ideally constructive edits should be kept, but requiring editors to assess whether something is constructive or not means that the banned editor is taking up even more community time then they already are, time that could be better spent elsewhere. The worst case are edits that <i>appear</i> constructive, but really aren't. Handling these without spending perhaps hours is one of the tasks which G5 really helps with. SPI is almost perennially backlogged as it is. I'd be interested in some examples of reckless G5 application that this essay is meant to address, in my experience there is a tendency towards caution rather than towards deletion. <a href="/wiki/User:Chipmunkdavis" title="User:Chipmunkdavis">CMD</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Chipmunkdavis" title="User talk:Chipmunkdavis">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Chipmunkdavis-2022-05-22T10:36:00.000Z-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">10:36, 22 May 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Chipmunkdavis-2022-05-22T10:36:00.000Z-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Chipmunkdavis-2022-05-22T10:36:00.000Z-Kusma-2022-05-22T09:48:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Johnuniq-2022-05-22T10:47:00.000Z-Chipmunkdavis-2022-05-22T10:36:00.000Z"></span>The above comments are fine but the real reason to support deleting contributions from a banned user is <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:DENY" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:DENY">WP:DENY</a>.

If an edit improves the encyclopaedia then deleting it harms the project and disadvantages our readers for no benefit. There is this view that a contribution from a banned or blocked user is always bad and taints the project even if the exact same edit made by a user in good standing would be an unarguable improvement, yet nobody has ever been able to offer any explanation of how or why this could be the case, let alone demonstrated that it actually is. <a href="/wiki/User:Thryduulf" title="User:Thryduulf">Thryduulf</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Thryduulf" title="User talk:Thryduulf">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z-Johnuniq-2022-05-22T10:47:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:04, 11 June 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z-Johnuniq-2022-05-22T10:47:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z-Johnuniq-2022-05-22T10:47:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T14:04:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z"></span>Chipmunkdavis already supplied exactly such an explanation. It harms the encyclopedia in that it allows the persistent user who was blocked because of what was judged to be the <i>net</i> harm their efforsts were producing to continue to participate as though there were no block <i>except</i> for the inconvenience to them of constantly creating new accounts to circumvent sockpuppet blocks. And I can tell you that there are numerous users who have had no problem creating account after account after account after account after account. These are users whose every edit, if we don't conduct blanket reversions of all of them, would call for individual scrutiny because we already know their record. This is a drain on the time of people who could be focused, instead, on edits by users who <i>haven't</i> been blocked. This is of negative value to the encyclopedia.</dd> <dd>For example, we have user Honduras200010 whose sockpuppet record is at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Honduras200010" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Honduras200010">WP:Sockpuppet investigations/Honduras200010</a>. A block was finally put on the /23 IP range that this user had been contributing from anonymously—this range is virtually exclusive to this person—after I'd spent <i>two and a half months</i> reverting all their characteristic edits to climate information and addition or replacement of images in articles. The user's block was occasioned by bad edits of these types. I am not going to spend all my time judging every new edit by this person to see whether, by any chance, it happens to be correct information rather than misinformation, or whether a new image placed by them is appropriate or better than the previous image. The person's record speaks for itself. I revert all. Were any of this user's block-evading contributions useful? Maybe. But the encyclopedia is no worse off than it would be if that user hadn't been breaking the rules, and it's better off for my time and that of others being devoted more productively to examining edits by non-blocked users.</dd> <dd>And it, <i>net</i>, improves the encyclopedia by discouraging these people's continued attempts. It isn't 100%, as witness the case of Honduras200010, but, for example, the user whose case history is at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/PHAM_VIET_DUNG" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PHAM VIET DUNG">Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/PHAM VIET DUNG</a> finally gave up, as have others. Activity by the user whose case history is at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations/Drewpalazzolo" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Drewpalazzolo">Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Drewpalazzolo</a> hasn't disappear completely but it's slowed down considerably, and I'm supposing that all the reversions were sufficiently frustrating to bring that about.</dd> <dd>On rare occasions I've looked at a particular sockpuppet edit and noticed that it was obviously an improvement—a grammar or spelling correction, typically. Those, I've left. <a href="/wiki/User:Largoplazo" title="User:Largoplazo">Largoplazo</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Largoplazo" title="User talk:Largoplazo">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T14:04:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:04, 11 June 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T14:04:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T14:04:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T13:04:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T15:54:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T14:04:00.000Z"></span>Your last two sentences contradict the entire rest of what you wrote - you can't have it both ways "if the edits are a clear improvement I don't revert them" and "I'm going to revert every edit whether its an improvement or not".

But then you stop doing that because something entirely irrelevant to their edits means that you no longer care about whether edits are good or bad?

If a sock account makes, say, 50 edits and it takes you looking through the first ten edits to determine they're a sock you're not obligated to go back through those ten edits to revert the typo fixes the banned sock account did. Neither are you obligated to sift through edits 11 through 50 to determine which are "helpful" and which are whargarble. You can just go and revert them all once the culprit's sockitude has been established. If someone else wants to wring their hands and bemoan the loss of a couple of innocuous edits made only to disguise the sock as a legitimate account then they're welcome to take responsibility for them. But they can't impose that responsibility on anyone else. <a href="/wiki/User:Reyk" title="User:Reyk"><b style="color: Maroon;">Reyk</b></a> <sub><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Reyk" title="User talk:Reyk"><b style="color: Blue;">YO!</b></a></sub> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Reyk-2022-06-12T02:36:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T23:49:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:36, 12 June 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Reyk-2022-06-12T02:36:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T23:49:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Reyk-2022-06-12T02:36:00.000Z-Largoplazo-2022-06-11T23:49:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id=""Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion" data-mw-thread-id="h-"Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-2022-06-12T06:12:00.000Z"><span id=".22Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion.2Fpure_junk.22_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion"></span><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-"Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-2022-06-12T06:12:00.000Z"></span>"Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/pure junk" listed at <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion">Redirects for discussion</a><span data-mw-comment-end="h-"Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion-2022-06-12T06:12:00.000Z"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-NotReallySoroka-2022-06-12T06:12:00.000Z-"Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk"_listed_at_Redirects_for_discussion"></span><span typeof="mw:File"><a href="/wiki/File:Information.svg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/30px-Information.svg.png" decoding="async" width="30" height="30" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/45px-Information.svg.png 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/2/28/Information.svg/60px-Information.svg.png 2x" data-file-width="256" data-file-height="256"/></a></span> An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirect <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/pure_junk&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/pure junk (page does not exist)">Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/pure junk</a> and has thus listed it <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion" title="Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion">for discussion</a>.

Just because something is an existant phrase in a foreign language that does absolutely not mean that the English encyclopedia should have redirects for it; the onus for making one should be on the person creating them, not on the people who find them littering the landscape afterwards. I actually found that the same person created a whole slew of these kinds of redirects there, and I only cleaned up a fraction of them. If we were to entertain this argument in a way that prevents even this modest kind of a cleanup, that would be a slippery slope into bureaucratic madness. The reason I chose that deletion reason was that it seemed the most relevant, but even if it wasn't there, I would have found another one from the list of available ones. --<a href="/wiki/User:Joy" title="User:Joy">Joy [shallot]</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Joy" title="User talk:Joy">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T16:30:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:28, 11 June 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T16:30:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T16:30:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:RFOREIGN" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:RFOREIGN"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T20:45:00.000Z-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z"></span>WP:RFOREIGN</a> is clear that <i>some</i> redirects from foreign languages are good and useful when there is a clear connection between the language and the target - Croatian terms for Croatian places clearly have that connection. I don't know whether these were useful terms, I haven't looked in enough detail, but what I saw is enough to say that they <i>might</i> be useful and so should not be speedily deleted. If you don't think they should be present then nominate them at RfD - that's what it's there for. Speedy deletion is absolutely not for getting rid of things you dislike, deleting anything that is not clearly by both the letter and spirit of one or more criteria is an abuse of administrative actions. Deleting potentially plausible redirects like that is not "cleanup" it's harming the project. Shoehorning pages into speedy deletion criteria that they are not unquestionably and uncontroversially covered by is abuse of your admin privs and if you are doing that then you <i>must</i> stop immediately or face being desysopped. <a href="/wiki/User:Thryduulf" title="User:Thryduulf">Thryduulf</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Thryduulf" title="User talk:Thryduulf">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T20:45:00.000Z-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:45, 11 June 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T20:45:00.000Z-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T20:45:00.000Z-Joy-2022-06-11T19:28:00.000Z"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Joy-2022-06-12T07:30:00.000Z-Thryduulf-2022-06-11T20:45:00.000Z"></span>I'm sorry, but this discussion is giving me whiplash. You're referencing an essay that literally contradicts your argument. It says common terms aren't supposed to be used for redirect, and that there should be well-grounded rationales for redirects. "Glavni grad Hrvatske" means "Capital city of Croatia" in Croatian. The editor who made the redirect left no rationale whatsoever (<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:ES" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:ES">WP:ES</a> comes to mind as well). Why are you arguing for this without using any kind of a basic sanity check on your argument first? This would be a search term for maybe a 6 year old Croatian reader, because this is kindergarten/early elementary school common knowledge for Croatian speakers. So we're supposed to be catering to a reader who can somehow both formulate such a concept, find the English Wikipedia search box and be able to both spell and to type well enough to initiate this search query, only to find themselves at an English-language non-simple encyclopedia article about this topic that they could then derive some value from.

This really isn't giving me confidence if your ability as an administrator. There is not, never has been, and should not be, a requirement for someone to leave a detailed explanation of their edit. We assume good faith. That some foreign language terms are useful search terms is because they are ones that English-speaking readers will encounter and look up (and I don't know what you find problematic about six year olds). The point is not that these are plausible, the point is that they might be and so are not eligible for speedy deletion.

In this situation, does the wrapper have to go through TfD? Or can it be deleted under CSD G8? This currently isn't in the list of examples of valid G8 deletions, but it somewhat fits the spirit, so it's unclear whether it's a valid G8 that's too rare to list, or a non-speedy deletion. (The situation is fairly rare, because normally the TfD that deletes the template or module will also delete the wrappers for it, but sometimes people forget – it may well be that this is a valid deletion that simply isn't worth listing.) --<a href="/wiki/User:Ais523" title="User:Ais523">ais523</a> 20:19, 6 July 2022 (<a href="/wiki/User:Ais523" title="User:Ais523">U</a><a href="/wiki/User_talk:Ais523" title="User talk:Ais523">T</a><a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/Ais523" title="Special:Contributions/Ais523">C</a>) </p> <dl><dd>The short answer is "yes", as the wrapper template is <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">a dependent page of a page which ... has been deleted.</q> <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Primefac" title="User talk:Primefac">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z-Does_CSD_G8_cover_templates_that_are_wrappers_for_deleted_templates/modules?" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:25, 6 July 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z-Does_CSD_G8_cover_templates_that_are_wrappers_for_deleted_templates/modules?"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z-Does_CSD_G8_cover_templates_that_are_wrappers_for_deleted_templates/modules?"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-2022-07-06T20:27:00.000Z-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z"></span>Agreed. <a href="/wiki/User:Pppery" title="User:Pppery">* Pppery *</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Pppery" title="User talk:Pppery"><sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Pppery-2022-07-06T20:27:00.000Z-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">20:27, 6 July 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Pppery-2022-07-06T20:27:00.000Z-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Pppery-2022-07-06T20:27:00.000Z-Primefac-2022-07-06T20:25:00.000Z"></span></dd></dl></dd></dl> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Soft_redirects_and_R_criteria" data-mw-thread-id="h-Soft_redirects_and_R_criteria-20220719143400"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Soft_redirects_and_R_criteria-20220719143400"></span>Soft redirects and R criteria<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Soft_redirects_and_R_criteria-20220719143400"></span></h2><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-bar"><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-metadata"></div><div class="ext-discussiontools-init-section-actions"></div></div></div> <p><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thryduulf-20220719143400-Soft_redirects_and_R_criteria"></span>There seems to be an ongoing disagreement between <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> and <a href="/wiki/User:Danbloch" title="User:Danbloch">Danbloch</a> about whether the note directing people to RfD for non-speediable redirects should read: </p> <ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">For any redirects, including <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Soft_redirect" title="Wikipedia:Soft redirect">soft redirects</a>, that are not speedy deletion candidates...</q></li></ul> <p>or </p> <ul><li><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">For any redirects that are not speedy deletion candidates...</q></li></ul> <p>Based on edit summaries the disagreement seems to be about whether soft redirects can be eligible for speed deletion under R criteria (I assume nobody disagrees the G criteria apply).

I read the criteria for speedy deletion (not for the first time, mind you) and wasn't sure they were being correctly applied. The guidelines for contesting speedy deletion say that the editor who created a page may not delete the speedy deletion notice, but may contest it by clicking a button in said notice to start a talk page discussion. This button was not present in the notice. Searching additional pages related to/linked to the notice provided no further help. Since the purpose of the button was to start a talk page discussion, I guessed that starting a talk page discussion about the deletion would preclude speedy deletion. I was wrong—even though the editor who proposed speedy deletion was willing to discuss the issue and provided his reasons—and an apology for assuming that the deletion would be uncontroversial—and I suggested I was inclined to agree at that point, but would have liked to hear from other editors in case there were any other opinions, and suggested leaving the discussion open for a few days—the redirect was speedily deleted, less than twenty-four hours after the original nomination. </p><p>So, overlooking my thirteen years' experience as a non-admin editor who doesn't frequently get involved with speedy deletion, what was I supposed to do? With proposed deletions, you simply delete the notice and provide a reason in the edit summary, elaborating on said reason on the talk page if necessary. There's no warning about the editor who created the page not being allowed to do this. And once done, the page can't be deleted without some attempt to achieve consensus through talk page discussion. Apparently speedy deletion is a completely different vehicle for achieving the same result, bypassing any discussion—and apparently any contest, since I could find no other guidance besides starting a talk page discussion or using a non-existent button to start said discussion—which proved fruitless, since the process was carried out ignoring the discussion. I seem to recall that the creator of pages nominated for speedy deletion is also supposed to be notified as a courtesy, but this didn't happen either—I only knew about it because the redirect in question was on my watchlist. </p><p>If this discussion is in the wrong place—I don't know where the right place is, and don't see anything to clarify that, if there even is an appropriate place where this can be discussed, something I am not going to assume under the circumstances—then of course feel free to move it to the correct place, if there is one. I'm sure this can be resolved simply by pinging me with an italicized and boldfaced sentence quoting some guidance that I couldn't find yesterday after searching multiple pages fruitlessly. But the fact that the entire process proved bewildering and that nothing I did or seemed to be allowed to do made any difference to the procedure might suggest that the procedure itself is in need of updating or improvement. <a href="/wiki/User:P_Aculeius" title="User:P Aculeius">P Aculeius</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:P_Aculeius" title="User talk:P Aculeius">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-P_Aculeius-20220803121800-Might_wanna_update_guidance/provide_some_guidance_for_contesting_speedy_deletion" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">12:18, 3 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-P_Aculeius-20220803121800-Might_wanna_update_guidance/provide_some_guidance_for_contesting_speedy_deletion"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-P_Aculeius-20220803121800-Might_wanna_update_guidance/provide_some_guidance_for_contesting_speedy_deletion"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-EurekaLott-20220803141000-P_Aculeius-20220803121800"></span>I think you have a few choices here: <ol><li>If you're OK with having the podcast as the <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:PRIMARYTOPIC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:PRIMARYTOPIC">WP:PRIMARYTOPIC</a> for the title, you can add a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:HATNOTE" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:HATNOTE">WP:HATNOTE</a> to the article linking to the <a href="/wiki/Cover_to_Cover_(1965_TV_program)" title="Cover to Cover (1965 TV program)">Cover to Cover (1965 TV program)</a> article and call it a day.</li> <li>If you disagree with the speedy deletion, you can leave a note at the talk page of the admin who made the move.

I'm still concerned that it's a little hard to navigate the process if you don't deal with this type of procedure regularly, but ultimately the move was likely to succeed, and a hatnote was always going to be the right solution if it did. I just wondered if people might think of it as a case of recentism, or where there might be no primary topic, because the redirect was primary until the podcast started. I thought it was worth discussing first, but couldn't figure out what to do to bring it about. But as I said, the outcome was likely to be the same even if there was a discussion first—I don't see the need to fight over it. Perhaps the process needs to be reviewed to make sure that it's up-to-date and easy to navigate, though. <a href="/wiki/User:P_Aculeius" title="User:P Aculeius">P Aculeius</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:P_Aculeius" title="User talk:P Aculeius">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-P_Aculeius-20220803222700-Primefac-20220803170400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">22:27, 3 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-P_Aculeius-20220803222700-Primefac-20220803170400"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-P_Aculeius-20220803222700-Primefac-20220803170400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Primefac-20220804060600-P_Aculeius-20220803222700"></span>For what it's worth, now that I've read through everything more fully I actually disagree with SoWhy re: the appropriateness of the deletion, but I know the primary question being asked was "what's the point of contesting a deletion if it's just going to be deleted anyway", and my answer to that would be that it really depends on the reason for deletion and how reasonable the contest to that deletion is. In this case, clearly it was up to some administrator discretion whether the deletion or the not-deletion arguments were stronger, but on something like a G12 the only time a contesting note is helpful is when it says "actually, this text is PD" or similar. <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Primefac" title="User talk:Primefac">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Primefac-20220804060600-P_Aculeius-20220803222700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:06, 4 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Primefac-20220804060600-P_Aculeius-20220803222700"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Primefac-20220804060600-P_Aculeius-20220803222700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SoWhy-20220804081200-Primefac-20220804060600"></span>@<a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a>: I'm interested in your reasoning as to why you think <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&page=Storybound">the deletion</a> under <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:G6" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:G6">WP:G6</a> was appropriate, given that this criterion explicitly limits its application to "uncontroversial maintenance".

If a page is tagged for speedy deletion as an unsourced negative BLP, and the page creator contests it with "but is all true", then that response may be right and is hardly irrelevant (at least in the eyes of the article creator), but it still won't stop a speedy deletion. Similarly, for a G11 promotional page, people will often contest the tag with "it's factual" and similar stuff and will contest the promotional character of the page. It is still up to the admin whether they agree with the tagger or with the contestor, good admins won't decline a G11 because the page creator objects. Speedy deletion is not as black-and-white as you depict it, and as long as the speedy is reasonable and most people would support it, then it can go ahead.

If the rules are wrong frequently then the rules need changing, but this cannot happen if they aren't being followed.

You could eliminate that instruction, but that would still provide no help whatever to editors who don't understand the instructions for contesting a speedy deletion nomination—and they are certainly unclear. For instance, one of the guidelines cited above says that any editor <i>other than</i> the one who created the page being nominated for speedy deletion may delete the tag. What is the editor who created the page supposed to do, if he or she is forbidden from removing the tag? Surely the creators of articles have just as much right—and certainly more motivation—to contest the deletion of a page.</dd> <dd>The discussion above seems to regard this as a problem only for editors who are unfamiliar with basic Wikipedia policies. This is clearly not the case. I've been an editor since 2009, and have made over 16,000 edits, including the creation of several hundred articles and redirects. I don't often encounter speedy deletion, because (I like to think) my articles are well-sourced and not frivolous, and I don't generally edit things that appear to be frivolous, or add them to my watchlist. There are a lot of technical processes on Wikipedia that seem to require a great deal of expertise to navigate, often requiring editors to browse through multiple pages and policies to understand in the context of a particular circumstance. In this instance, I could not figure out what I was supposed to do in order to postpone the deletion of a redirect until the merits of the deletion could be discussed. I chose what appeared to be the only avenue open to me, and then the redirect was deleted anyway.</dd> <dd>I want to emphasize that I am <i>not</i> asking anyone to undo the deletion and move everything back to the way it was. Having considered the issue, I'm sure it would ultimately end with the same result, in which case reverting the changes would waste everyone's time. What I'm asking for is clearer guidance for navigating the speedy deletion process, particularly for the creators of articles or redirects nominated for speedy deletion—because right now the guidelines seem to be saying that they're not allowed to contest the nomination of articles or redirects they created. Referring any editors, whether or not they're the creators of the page nominated for speedy deletion, to a non-existent button, is supremely unhelpful. I just hope that there's a better solution here than deleting all mention of said button! <a href="/wiki/User:P_Aculeius" title="User:P Aculeius">P Aculeius</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:P_Aculeius" title="User talk:P Aculeius">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-P_Aculeius-20220804130200-Jay-20220804105500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:02, 4 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-P_Aculeius-20220804130200-Jay-20220804105500"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-P_Aculeius-20220804130200-Jay-20220804105500"></span> <dl><dd><a href="/wiki/User:P_Aculeius" title="User:P Aculeius"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Uanfala-20220804150000-P_Aculeius-20220804130200"></span>P Aculeius</a>, do you recall where you read that a creator could contest a speedy deletion by clicking that button? Such a page would likely need updating. The relevant up-to-date guide is in the fourth paragraph of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">WP:CSD</a>. The gist of it is that for most CSD criteria, the creator can't remove the tag but can contest it by posting on the talk page (the button is just a shortcut for that action); some criteria (like the G6 involved here) do allow the creator to simply remove the tag, just as they would do with a PROD. That's why the speedy tags for those criteria don't have a "Contest" button, but instead have text that says something like <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">If this page does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, please remove this notice.</q> Maybe this bit needs to be explicit that page creators too are free to remove the tag? <a href="/wiki/User:Uanfala" title="User:Uanfala">Uanfala</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Uanfala" title="User talk:Uanfala">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Uanfala-20220804150000-P_Aculeius-20220804130200" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:00, 4 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Uanfala-20220804150000-P_Aculeius-20220804130200"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Uanfala-20220804150000-P_Aculeius-20220804130200"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thincat-20220804151400-Uanfala-20220804150000"></span>The "lead" to <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:CSD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:CSD">WP:CSD</a> explains the use of the missing button: "A creator who disagrees with the speedy deletion should instead click on the Contest this speedy deletion button that appears inside of the speedy deletion tag."

And when that button doesn't exist, you're just <i>guessing</i> as to whether posting on the talk page will have any effect. There doesn't seem to be any way to notify administrators carrying out speedy deletion that a nomination is being contested, just as there's nothing to tell editors what to do if they can't find the button.

My first thought is that the talk page could be placed into a specific category (possibly via a template), and the CSD template could contain some code that checks whether the talk page is in that category. Removing the template and/or category from talk pages of pages that are not nominated for speedy deletion is something a bot could easily do.

For example, <a href="https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:GKS_Jastrz%C4%99bie_logo.png" class="extiw" title="c:File:GKS Jastrzębie logo.png">c:File:GKS Jastrzębie logo.png</a> was speedy deleted as a copyright violation and then reuploaded by the same person and speedy deleted again, when by King of Hearts' reasoning there should have been a DR since reuploading a deleted file is clearly a manner of contesting deletion. <div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div> Actually, on second thought, there's not much difference between enwiki and Commons even under King of Hearts' description; both have processes that if followed correctly allow the creator of a page to force it through a 1-week discussion, but those processes require enough technical skill to mostly weed out frivolous requests.

That is why I think the "convert to DR" button is helpful, as it gives uploaders a chance to explain their position instead of rolling the dice and hoping they don't get an admin who's not careful (e.g. fails to check the talk page, or fails to consider how the image might be PD).

For example, all CSD tags will contain a big "Contest" button. When pressed, it will run a script or some template code, which will check if the editor is the same as the page creator. If yes, then it will allow the creator to write up their objection, which will then appear within the tag itself, so that it's easily visible and there's no risk the patrolling admin will miss it (if the admin declines the CSD, then the creator's objection could automatically get moved to the talk page, so that there remains a record of it as before). If the editor is not the same as the creator (or it's just a case of a CSD that allows creators to remove the tag), then pressing the button will remove the tag (or, in case that is not technically possible, it will display instructions on how to remove the tag).

I'm open to the alternative of allowing authors to remove only if the category has at least 1 page but I don't really see a problem with allowing authors to remove speedy deletion tags from emptied categories. I think this is somewhat similar to G8 in that the author may object if they think it may be an exception for some reason. As a side note I'm not sure if C1 is needed since it may be better to just list these at CFD since this often happens (1) "out of process" (2) because all the pages were merged/deleted or (3) all pages in the category weren't felt to belong there though that is a discussion for another day, here I'm just asking about if authors can remove C1 speedy deletion tags. <b><a href="/wiki/User:Crouch,_Swale" title="User:Crouch, Swale"><span style="color:Green">Crouch, Swale</span></a></b> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Crouch,_Swale" title="User talk:Crouch, Swale"><span style="color:Blue">talk</span></a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500-C1_removal_by_author" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">06:55, 18 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500-C1_removal_by_author"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500-C1_removal_by_author"></span> </p> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Pppery-20220818142600-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500"></span>Seems reasonable. <a href="/wiki/User:Pppery" title="User:Pppery">* Pppery *</a> <a href="/wiki/User_talk:Pppery" title="User talk:Pppery"><sub style="color:#800000">it has begun...</sub></a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Pppery-20220818142600-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:26, 18 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Pppery-20220818142600-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Pppery-20220818142600-Crouch,_Swale-20220818065500"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Primefac-20220818152500-Pppery-20220818142600"></span>C1 is somewhat self-cancelling, so I see no reason why if the category isn't empty that only one specific editor is prohibited from removing the tag. <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Primefac" title="User talk:Primefac">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Primefac-20220818152500-Pppery-20220818142600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">15:25, 18 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Primefac-20220818152500-Pppery-20220818142600"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Primefac-20220818152500-Pppery-20220818142600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Crouch,_Swale-20220818163900-Primefac-20220818152500"></span>Maybe we could allow authors to remove C1 tags only if the category isn't empty but even then I don't think that's necessary.

I'm finding CSD G6 being used to cover all sorts of random reasons why an editor thinks a page should be deleted but they don't seem like obvious, uncontroversial or technical reasons for a page to be deleted. There are two that I just ran into that I'll mention now. </p><p>Some editors tag drafts for CSD G6 speedy deletion that cover a subject that already has a main space article. They can't apply CSD A10 because that criteria doesn't cover Draft space so they try G6. Also, recently, I've found that if an editor has written an article that gets moved to Draft space, and then the editor cuts & pastes a version of that draft back on to that main space page, the main space article can be tagged for a CSD G6 deletion on the grounds that a draft version already exists and was, technically, created first. In the first case, I'll often untag the duplicate draft and turn it into a redirect to the main space article and in the second case, I might untag the main space cut & paste job or leave it for another admin to evaluate. But I think it would be helpful if there was some note on this page that CSD G6 isn't a catch-all for a page that should be deleted for "obvious reasons" that simply don't meet any of the CSD criteria.

G6 should clearly state what is "non-controversial" maintenance, seeing as its use has sparked controversy. I believe we also need to clarify the scope of A7; recently, I've encountered some uses of A7 that were borderline or out-of-scope (this is likely a longstanding problem, though). For instance, there seems to be confusion with <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Db-event" title="Template:Db-event">db-event</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span>, which as I understand should only apply to <i>organized</i> events and not breaking news.

Below is a nowhere near complete list of three examples. I've attempted to format these in ways that are sufficiently objective they could in theory be added as new CSD criteria, but am not formally proposing adding them: <ol><li><a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations">Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations</a> thinks that <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">[E]mpty "Wikipedia sockpuppets of Example" or "Suspected Wikipedia sockpuppets of Example" categories.</q> and sometimes <link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">subpages of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Sockpuppet_investigations" title="Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations">Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations</a> or user pages containing only <span class="nowrap">{{</span><a href="/wiki/Template:Sockpuppet" title="Template:Sockpuppet">sockpuppet</a><span class="nowrap">}}</span> tags that have been deemed frivolous by a SPI clerk or checkuser</q> can be speedy deleted under G6.

Of course I've read over this page many times but I never thought about citing these commonly used "non-criteria" when I untag a page that has been mistakenly tagged for CSD. I mean, I have good reasons for why a page isn't eligible for speedy deletion but I never considered citing this section of the policy page. So, when I thought, "What other incorrect taggings do I frequently see?", CSD G6 came to me. There are others as well (we can all think of ways pages have been incorrectly tagged CSD) but I had run into these CSD G6-tagged pages in the last 2 or 3 days so they were on my mind.</dd> <dd>I'm less clear on the process of adding or changing content on a policy or guideline page.

To get it back under control, G6 should be hard restricted to pages without any non-trivial creative history. Further, pages that don’t need deletion should not be deleted, deletion for the sake of convenience is a reason for the lack of discipline with G6. Deletions for simplifying page moves squarely fit that second point. Even though a redirect is not creative, it is still content history, and there is no good reason why the old redirect edits should not remain accessible at the beginning of the history at that title.</dd> <dd>G6 for sockpuppet deletions <i>might</i> sometimes be justifiable for hiding information by bland logging, but this is very poor practice. As I’ve mentioned at WT:SPI and WT:LTA, sockpuppet deletions should be restricted to subpages of WP:SPI and WP:LTA, and deletions restricted to checkusers and SPI admin clerks.

We're saying that lumping them in with "consensus for non-speedy deletion at TFD" and "this category for articles tagged as orphans in 2003 is finally empty" and "I doubt this four-edit user is going to complain if I speedy the article they created in the Wikipedia namespace instead of main or draft" is harmful. Deletion of redirects with trivial histories so something else move to their title have been accepted as speedy-deletable for like forever; it's even baked into the move-a-page interface. But pretending they're the same thing as a dozen other things, in a criterion that was originally just for temporary deletions for history merges, makes people lose sight of the "trivial histories" part. —<a href="/wiki/User:Cryptic" class="mw-redirect" title="User:Cryptic">Cryptic</a> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Cryptic-20220830141000-SmokeyJoe-20220830130700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:10, 30 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Cryptic-20220830141000-SmokeyJoe-20220830130700"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Cryptic-20220830141000-SmokeyJoe-20220830130700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Primefac-20220830141400-Cryptic-20220830141000"></span>Can't argue with that.

Discouraging cowboy-style deletion <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:IAR" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:IAR">would improve the encyclopedia</a>, but it still feels too POINTy. Second: what if there was an explicit criterion for IAR? Admins can already do it by policy, and are doing it in practice. A separate criterion would allow for better scrutiny of said deletions, and would carry with it the "weight" of IAR. This might just be me, but explicitly stating that I am evoking IAR is "harder" than <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:BOLD" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:BOLD">just doing it</a>.

If you're deleting something while consciously thinking "IAR", then you shouldn't lie and put a speedy deletion criterion next to it. You don't even have to link to IAR, either, just say why you're deleting - the deletion log for that user page could've easily been just "13-year old garbage page in violation of <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:POLEMIC" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:POLEMIC">WP:POLEMIC</a>".<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>It also could've been a U5, and the RFA could've been speedied as vandalism. Having a criterion so broad and poorly-defined that admins treat it as IAR and get away with it, when they don't even have to because there are other, better-defined criteria that the pages they're deleting meet, is a big part of the problem here.<div class="paragraphbreak" style="margin-top:0.5em"></div>The javascript page deletion was really, really bad, though.

It implies "pages created in error by someone else that I am fixing" because if it was the one editor involved, then G7 should be used. If there are multiple editors in its history, then all should be consulted, and if just one of them does not agree that the page should be deleted, then it should go via a deletion discussion not CSD. The wording is far too undefined. What is "in error"? Does that include the other editor editing while rushing? Why should a different editor be fixing it for them, using administrative tools.

Something misspelled in the article space and then corrected by someone else a year or two down the line probably should be considered through one of the R-criteria or at RFD. However, if a new editor starts a page in the Wikipedia space, and a patroller moves it to the Draft or Article space (as appropriate), the WP-space edit was <i>clearly</i> made in error and there is zero reason why it should not be deleted (see <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Fawwaz_Rafif/Masashi_Yokoi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Fawwaz Rafif/Masashi Yokoi (page does not exist)">Wikipedia:Fawwaz Rafif/Masashi Yokoi</a> and <a href="/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia:Masashi_Yokoi&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Wikipedia:Masashi Yokoi (page does not exist)">Wikipedia:Masashi Yokoi</a> for two that I deleted recently). And to echo one of my statements earlier, I wholeheartedly agree that these use cases should not be in G6, but we have no other suitable criteria at the moment to cover these pages; until we do, it should continue to be deleted under G6. <a href="/wiki/User:Primefac" title="User:Primefac">Primefac</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Primefac" title="User talk:Primefac">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Primefac-20220831075000-SmokeyJoe-20220831074400" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">07:50, 31 August 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Primefac-20220831075000-SmokeyJoe-20220831074400"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Primefac-20220831075000-SmokeyJoe-20220831074400"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-SmokeyJoe-20220831081600-Primefac-20220831075000"></span>Meeting halfway?</dd> <dd>If the page is moved, it is not deleted. The trailing redirect is created by the page mover, it meets G7, and possibly R2 and R3. If a patroller moves the page, there is no use for a "Page created in error" criterion. Also note, pagemovers, including yourself, can suppress the creation of the trailing redirect. Your examples show you mistagging. You should use the most specific criterion (a rule I know elsewhere, is it a written Wikipedia rule?). You should be deleting your own creations with logged reference to G7.</dd> <dd><link rel="mw-deduplicated-inline-style" href="mw-data:TemplateStyles:r1248585704"><q class="inline-quote-talk">but we have no other suitable criteria at the moment to cover these pages</q>?

As one of the few people who patrols niche namespaces, the vast majority of the content delete-able under G6 tends to have the issue that it either is a near-duplicate of something that the user has created elsewhere (either their userpage or an article/draft), or that it would be eligible for CSD as an article.

However, I feel that R2 might be a better choice because it already deals with inappropriate cross-namespace redirects, which would be the case when moving pages created in the wrong namespace to draft space—IMO a closer fit than "implausible typos" (R3). Perhaps amend R2 to include "redirects to the Draft: namespace from any namespace except the User: namespace" and "redirects to the User: namespace from any namespace except the Template: namespace where the target is a userbox, the Wikipedia: namespace when the target is an essay, and the Draft: namespace".

The second most common are pages being created in the article namespace because the editor typoed "Wikipedia" or "Template". However incorrect namespaces are a small proportion of the errors I see, which are most commonly typos within the same namespace, so this would be a very significant expansion of R2. As these are often discovered months or years after creation, R3 is inappropriate. 63 deletions in three months seems more than enough to justify a speed deletion criterion imo, and it would be much simpler than trying to shoehorn it in to an existing one. <a href="/wiki/User:Thryduulf" title="User:Thryduulf">Thryduulf</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Thryduulf" title="User talk:Thryduulf">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Thryduulf-20220901170600-Primefac-20220901142900" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">17:06, 1 September 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Thryduulf-20220901170600-Primefac-20220901142900"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Thryduulf-20220901170600-Primefac-20220901142900"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Thryduulf-20220904203500-Thryduulf-20220901170600"></span>As a good example of the thing this is intended to cover, see <a href="/w/index.php?title=RAchel_Costello&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="RAchel Costello (page does not exist)">RAchel Costello</a> and the history of <a href="/wiki/Rachel_Costello" title="Rachel Costello">Rachel Costello</a>.

Draftspace is not a storehouse for a bunch of pages that will never become proper articles, but a place for future articles to be developed. This criterion is not redundant to G13 because drafts that have not a <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:SNOW" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:SNOW">WP:SNOW</a>'s chance of becoming articles should be able to be deleted sooner than 6 months.

Deleting a draft just because its topic doesn't look important goes against this fundamental purpose and <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Do_not_bite_the_newcomers" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:Do not bite the newcomers">will dishearten and/or anger newcomers</a>. Enwiki's practices are already very intimidating to outsiders, so the last thing we should do is scare off new editors even more. <a href="/wiki/User:Glades12" title="User:Glades12">Glades12</a> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Glades12" title="User talk:Glades12">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Glades12-20221004130600-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">13:06, 4 October 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Glades12-20221004130600-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Glades12-20221004130600-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228-20221004143300-Glades12-20221004130600"></span>This criterion is intended to be stricter than what I just mentioned above. It would be about drafts on topics made up one day, or pages that use Wikipedia as a webhost. As for biting the newcomers, that could be solved by creating a very gentle deletion notice that at the same time points new users to relevant guidelines such as <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:NOT" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:NOT">WP:NOT</a>. <a href="/wiki/Special:Contributions/2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228" title="Special:Contributions/2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228">2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228</a> (<a href="/w/index.php?title=User_talk:2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="User talk:2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228 (page does not exist)">talk</a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228-20221004143300-Glades12-20221004130600" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">14:33, 4 October 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228-20221004143300-Glades12-20221004130600"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228-20221004143300-Glades12-20221004130600"></span> <dl><dd><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Glades12-20221004202000-2601:647:5800:4D2:1C06:7B6A:933D:A228-20221004143300"></span>Yes, I know you want to expand A11 to include drafts. You don't need to repeat the section title.

The "no credible claim of significance" part is the issue with an expansion of A11: won't work in draftspace because it would block a lot of potentially valid articles in their early stages of development, and it could very easily result in A7 covering drafts as well, which would then defeat the purpose of draftspace. If they're not in mainspace and not problematic enough to fall under a G criterion, there's generally not much harm in letting them sit around. <sup><a href="/wiki/User:ComplexRational" title="User:ComplexRational"><b><span style="color:#0039a6">Complex</span></b></a></sup>/<sub><a href="/wiki/User_talk:ComplexRational" title="User talk:ComplexRational"><b><span style="color:#000000">Rational</span></b></a></sub> <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-ComplexRational-20221005024300-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">02:43, 5 October 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-ComplexRational-20221005024300-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-ComplexRational-20221005024300-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span></dd></dl> <ul><li><b><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="c-Crouch,_Swale-20221005193900-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span>No</b> as said previously with thes likes of A7 G13 takes care of these and MFD can deal with those being edited to avoid G13. <b><a href="/wiki/User:Crouch,_Swale" title="User:Crouch, Swale"><span style="color:Green">Crouch, Swale</span></a></b> (<a href="/wiki/User_talk:Crouch,_Swale" title="User talk:Crouch, Swale"><span style="color:Blue">talk</span></a>) <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Archive_83#c-Crouch,_Swale-20221005193900-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700" class="ext-discussiontools-init-timestamplink">19:39, 5 October 2022 (UTC)</a><span class="ext-discussiontools-init-replylink-buttons" data-mw-thread-id="c-Crouch,_Swale-20221005193900-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span><span data-mw-comment-end="c-Crouch,_Swale-20221005193900-2601:647:5800:4D2:6516:28DA:636:8A8A-20221003040700"></span></li></ul> <div style="padding-left: 1.6em; font-style: italic; border-top: 1px solid #a2a9b1; margin: 0.5em 0; padding-top: 0.5em">The discussion above is closed. <b style="color: var(--color-error, red);">Please do not modify it.</b> Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page.
