YPPedia talk:Deletion
Replacing the manual notices with the actual templates
As I was editing the page earlier to fix the part in the Vanity demonstration (and completely missed the first bit), one thought crossed my mind: Why not simply have the templates in there rather than manual recreations of them? Would make it easier if one was modified, and make the source of the page a bit less messy. And this page already has the deletion category. --Thunderbird 17:50, 29 September 2005 (PDT)
- Actually I'd started out that way, but switched to get it out of the categories. Some later edit must have added the category that's there currently. --Guppymomma 17:59, 29 September 2005 (PDT)
Redirected from Proposed Deletion.
I've redirected Proposed deletions here because it was the exact same article. I merged a bit of that article into this one (specifically, that one had a slightly more informative list of ways to delete articles). --Adramolek 16:11, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
Guidelines
It might be worthwhile to have some clear guidelines on this page indicating what is/isn't appropriate to propose for deletion, a la Candidates for speedy deletion. For example, some grey areas I've noticed:
- Deletion of trinket/pet/familiar subpages at sole-author request (ok?)
- Deletion of unused/redundant templates at sole-author request (ok?)
- Deletion of unused/redundant templates with many authors/revisions (not ok?)

- I would support your three proposals. Not much problem with sole-author requests. Personally, I throw a lot of stuff into CSD that should probably be PROD instead. I'm open to correction there. Chupchup 10:58, 27 July 2014 (PDT)
- At the moment I don't think it matters too much what you tag it with, given the small number of deletion requests. Perhaps having deletion requests in one place make them easier to handle :P. The above things are just general grey areas that aren't covered on the Candidates for speedy deletion article, nor the Yppedia:Deletion article - But they come up in an awful lot of cases. I think it's helpful to know whether or not these kind of things can be legitimately deleted! --Therobotdude 13:58, 27 July 2014 (PDT)
