Category:Candidates for speedy deletionedit this page
From TalkShoe Wiki
(Redirected from CSD)
This is where you can put pages that are so aren't needed so that they don't need to go through a long voting process to be deleted. This includes pages that are just one sentence, and pages that are plagiarized (include a link to the original source). The goal of this page is that pages here will be deleted on the same day that they are posted.
Some other possibilities for dealing with stubs that are not just one unfunny sentence, yet are not fully completed articles:
- they can be combined with a larger, existing related article or topic, or:
- flag them as stubs with any of the {{stub}} or {{catstub|Category Name}} tags
- flag them for {{rewrite}}
In some cases, a collection of short stubs can be combined to create one new article.
Notes for posting:
- CFD rules still apply: TalkShoe Wiki:Deletion policy
- Because of the nature of CSD, you should not add any type of template or notice to the page.
- Place
[[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]]on the page, category or image. - If you have more than one page at a time, put a space at the beginning of each line to make a box around it.
- Try to keep discussion out of the box, by not putting a space at the beginning of the line.
- Do not sign nominations. It just takes up space and annoys people.
Notes for deleting:
- Remember to check the page's history before deleting.
- Because the goal is to keep things quick, signing after deletion is not necessary.
- If you keep a page, please note why it was kept.
How to quickly find stuff for speedy deletiona (using special pages):
- Check Special:Deadendpages. This contains articles with no links, which are often short sub-stub crap. These are often also missing category tags and other wiki formatting.
- Check Special:BrokenRedirects. This shows redirects to non-existent articles, which just clogs up the wiki.
- Check Special:Newpages. Some of the stuff will be useless.
- Check Special:Unusedimages. Images that may have never been used..
- Check Special:Shortpages. This will often spot pages that are short - but do check the history; many are valid articles which have been blanked or vandalised.
- Check all the recent edits by anonymous users.
