Otherwise the page remains. Note that <b>what a rough consensus <i>is</i> is not set in stone</b>. Some consider a 2/3 majority a "rough consensus", while others believe consensus implies a higher ratio. Administrators must use their best judgment to discern a consensus. <b>Consensus is not merely a vote</b>, as administrators have no way to guarantee one-person, one-vote participation, and all pages within Wikiquote must abide by the consensuses of established Wikiquote policy and Wikimedia Foundation rules and guidelines as well as the current opinions given in each discussion. Administrators are also encouraged to consider the involvement of the discussion participants in general Wikiquote work to avoid "<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ballot_stuffing" class="extiw" title="w:ballot stuffing">ballot stuffing</a>" by groups of one-time users only interested in single articles. (See <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Voting_is_evil" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Voting is evil">w:Wikipedia:Voting is evil</a> and <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WP:NOT#Wikipedia_is_not_a_Democracy" class="extiw" title="w:WP:NOT">w:WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not a Democracy</a> for more discussion on why strict voting is impractical for Wikimedia projects.) </p><p>Pages that have been improved along the lines of the discussion and general Wikiquote practices may also remain if the improvement has been sufficient to make the rationale for the original deletion nomination no longer relevant. This requires a reason to be given initially when requesting that a page be deleted. </p><p>Please do not remove <i>any</i> votes from any VfD or like discussion. If you suspect that a vote comes from a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Sock_puppetry" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Sock puppetry">sockpuppet</a> or is otherwise invalid, mark it as such with a comment, list any pertinent links, and leave it there. Admins reviewing the discussion will investigate and decide whether or not to take that vote into account, and may strike multiple votes by a single user, or "forged" votes (signed as someone other than the user shown in the edit history). But by not <i>removing</i> any votes, we ensure that there can be no arguments over who removed what and why. </p><p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_guidelines_for_administrators" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators">Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators</a> expands on this and provides a little rationale. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Finishing_a_vote_for_deletion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Finishing_a_vote_for_deletion-Procedure_for_deletion"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Finishing_a_vote_for_deletion-Procedure_for_deletion"></span>Finishing a vote for deletion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Finishing_a_vote_for_deletion-Procedure_for_deletion"></span></h3></div> <p>There are five basic steps to completing a VfD discussion: </p> <ol><li>Determine consensus and close the vote.</li> <li>Take any required action on the named article(s).</li> <li>Create an archive copy from the closed discussion with the page name <code>Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/DISCUSSION TITLE</code>.</li> <li>Move the VfD entry to the appropriate month page in <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Votes_for_deletion/Log" title="Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Log">Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Log</a>.</li> <li>Remove the discussion from <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Votes_for_deletion" title="Wikiquote:Votes for deletion">Wikiquote:Votes for deletion</a>.</li></ol> <p>At any point after the end of the lag time or announced vote closure time (ideally <b><span style="color:red;">within a day</span></b>), an administrator will determine whether there is a consensus. No consensus is, by default, a community decision to <b>keep</b>. The admin's finding should be clearly recorded in the VfD entry so the community will know the result without reading the entire discussion (which may be quite long). If a <code>vote closes</code> line was provided in the VfD discussion, it should be changed to <code>vote closed</code> and show the result. <i>Note that unlike Wikipedia, only an administrator may close a VfD.</i> </p><p>As soon as possible after closing, an admin will take the specified action on the article. </p> <ul><li>If the vote was to <b>keep</b>, the {{<a href="/wiki/Template:Vfd-new" title="Template:Vfd-new">vfd-new</a>}} tag should be removed from the article, and notice posted on the article's talk page about the concluded VfD that includes a link to the archived VfD discussion. This is also done for any action, like <b>merge</b> and <b>redirect</b>, that results in something being left at that article's title space. The template <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Vfd-kept-new" title="Template:Vfd-kept-new">vfd-kept-new</a>|DISCUSSION TITLE}}</code> can be used as a notice for articles kept intact. <code>{{<a href="/wiki/Template:Vfd-redirect" title="Template:Vfd-redirect">vfd-redirect</a>|DISCUSSION TITLE|NEW PAGE TITLE}}</code> can be used for articles that were redirected to another title, as well as merged articles, since the merge-from page is then made a redirect.</li></ul> <ul><li>If the consensus was to <b>delete</b>, the article <i>and its talk page</i> will be deleted. It is a good idea to prefix the deletion log summary with <code>VFD:</code> to indicate the deletion was a result of a community vote. (Speedy deletions are typically prefixed with <code>SD: reason</code>.)</li></ul> <ul><li>If the result was to <b>delete</b>, but the deletion cannot be carried out for an extended period of time, the entry should be listed in the <b>Pending deletion</b> page of the deletion log. (This typically includes pages with considerable content that must be distributed to other pages or otherwise conserved elsewhere before final deletion.)</li></ul> <p>After recording the result, the admin should quickly copy the VfD discussion into a new page, <code>Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/DISCUSSION TITLE</code>, where "DISCUSSION TITLE" is the VfD discussion title, usually but not always the page name. (The page <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Useful_links" title="Wikiquote:Useful links">Wikiquote:Useful links</a> has a convenient input box that makes this creation easier.) This makes the discussion and decision available for review. Next, the archived VfD discussion should be listed in the appropriate month page (e.g., <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2006_September" title="Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Log/2006 September">Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/Log/2006 September</a>) in the reverse order that they were nominated, so that the latest nominations are at the top. This is accomplished by adding the following text above the existing entries: </p> <dl><dd><code>{{Wikiquote:Votes for deletion/DISCUSSION TITLE}}</code></dd></dl> <p>The resulting <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transclusion" class="extiw" title="w:Transclusion">transclusion</a> automatically displays the content of the archived discussion as if it were part of the month log page. </p><p>Closing and archiving admins should include <a href="/wiki/Help:Edit_summary" title="Help:Edit summary">edit summaries</a> for their actions that make it easier to spot the actions in the <a class="external text" href="https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiquote:Votes_for_deletion&action=history">VfD edit history</a>, like <code>closed PAGE vote; result: delete</code> (for closure) and <code>archived: PAGE</code> (for archiving). </p><p>Wikipedia has more information on the general process (some of which is followed here) at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_process" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Deletion process">Wikipedia:Deletion process</a>. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="Undeletion" data-mw-thread-id="h-Undeletion"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-Undeletion"></span>Undeletion<span data-mw-comment-end="h-Undeletion"></span></h2></div> <p>Deleted pages can be restored, by administrators, if and only if there is support on <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Deletion_review" title="Wikiquote:Deletion review">Wikiquote:Deletion review</a>, or the page was speedily deleted out-of-process. If deletions are made too casually, Wikiquote may lose potentially useful text, and members of the community may feel that their work is not appreciated. Hence, the decision to permanently delete an article is not taken lightly, and the deletion process is followed. See <a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Undeletion_policy" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikiquote:Undeletion policy">Wikiquote:Undeletion policy</a> for guidance on undeletion. </p><p>If an article is repeatedly re-created by unassociated editors after being deleted, this should be seen as evidence for the need for an article. Administrators should always be responsible with the power that they have. If in doubt... don't delete! </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 ext-discussiontools-init-section"><h2 id="See_also" data-mw-thread-id="h-See_also"><span data-mw-comment-start="" id="h-See_also"></span>See also<span data-mw-comment-end="h-See_also"></span></h2></div> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Transwiki_candidates" title="Wikiquote:Transwiki candidates">Wikiquote:Transwiki candidates</a></li> <li><a href="/wiki/Wikiquote:Pages_needing_attention" title="Wikiquote:Pages needing attention">Wikiquote:Pages needing attention</a></li> <li>Wikipedia references: <ul><li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/Precedents" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents">Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Precedents</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Bad_jokes_and_other_deleted_nonsense" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense">Wikipedia:Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense</a></li> <li><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_guidelines_for_administrators" class="extiw" title="w:Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators">Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators</a></li></ul></li></ul>    </div><noscript><img src="https://login.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralAutoLogin/start?useformat=desktop&type=1x1&usesul3=0" alt="" width="1" height="1" style="border: none; position: absolute;"></noscript> <div class="printfooter" data-nosnippet="">Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiquote:Deletion_policy&oldid=3267177">https://en.wikiquote.org/w/index.php?title=Wikiquote:Deletion_policy&oldid=3267177</a>"</div></div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Wikiquote_official_policy" title="Category:Wikiquote official policy">Wikiquote official policy</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Votes_for_deletion" title="Category:Votes for deletion">Votes for deletion</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Policies_needing_revision" title="Category:Policies needing revision">Policies needing revision</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Deletion_requests" title="Category:Deletion requests">Deletion requests</a></li></ul></div></div> </div> </main> </div> <div class="mw-footer-container"> <footer id="footer" class="mw-footer" > <ul id="footer-info"> <li id="footer-info-lastmod"> This page was last edited on 18 March 2023, at 21:28.</li> <li id="footer-info-copyright">Text is available under the <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="//creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0/">Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License</a>; additional terms may apply.
