Steward requests/Miscellaneous: Difference between revisions

Revision as of 04:12, 12 October 2011

Sometimes someone will find an obvious candidate for speedy deletion on a language they do not speak. In that case, they can list the pages here, and then an admin on the project where the page was found, a steward or a global sysop can decide whether to delete the page or to remove the listing. To add a listing in a language that isn't already here, create a new section header:

==== Requests for [[xx:]] ====

This page can also be used to delete pages on new wikis that don't have a "votes for deletion" page.

Please use this page only to report articles that need deleting. To report other vandalism issues, see vandalism reports.

Bot-reported speedy deletion requests

This section is for reports filed via Kimberley-nia Bot on the SWMT's IRC channel #cvn-sw (bot's irc nick is Dellieplagiat). They are submitted on this subpage. Please watch this page separately if you are a steward, a global sysop, or a local administrator.

It is possible to manually edit this list if you follow the bot's formatting. If you feel a request is inappropriate, please remove the lines containing that request entirely. (Leaving comments, modifying the header line, and striking out reports will confuse the bot.)

Example for the correct formatting:

* {{msd-link|ie.wikipedia|Talk:Europa}}
*: spam - IRC user DerHexer ~~~~~

Properly-filed requests that point to pages that have already been deleted or do not exist will be automatically removed by the bot. Note: It is unnecessary to remove requests for wikis where local admins "can handle it by themselves". If that is really so, the pages will surely be deleted within a small period of time and then be automatically removed from the list by the bot.

Manual requests

Please see tools:~erwin85/delete.php for a list of pages tagged with {{Delete}} and/or the local equivalent.

- I deleted 5 pages that day. For the rest, I'm not sure if they can be deleted or not. Trijnstel 18:51, 8 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for w:si:ප්‍රවර්ගය:Candidates for speedy deletion

I just tagged one page for speedy deletion when I was on SWMT, and checked out that many pages are tagged for deletion. Kindly review and take action accordingly. Vaibhav ^Talk 14:05, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Doing... Trijnstel 14:19, 8 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Done by both of us. — [ Tanvir | Talk ] 04:04, 28 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this? There are two active Admins in the project. Why is there a request for Stewards? Do the people doing these deletion know Sinhala? --Lee 02:58, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you guys missed some history info. I think you have to check the history & content before delete the articles. If you are confidence enough pls go ahead. I have noticed some article need to be redirect instead delete. This might be a rework for admins to review what you have deleted. -- බිඟුවා ^{සාකච්ඡාව} 11:03, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I only deleted three pages. Trijnstel 13:37, 29 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for en:List of Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards

Please delete per en:Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards (2nd nomination). Thanks. Courcelles 23:37, 20 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Why is this here, on meta, instead of on some page on the English Wikipedia? I can't see any reason why this article would require steward deletion... is this request misfiled? Ajraddatz (Talk) 00:09, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's blocking us en-admins from doing this because there are over 5000 revisions (This page has a large edit history of over 5,000 revisions. Deletion of such pages has been restricted to stewards to prevent accidental disruption of Wikipedia. Please contact one for assistance.) Skier Dude 04:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ajraddatz, I am an admin on enwp, and the one who closed the deletion discussion. Believe me when I say I'd rather not be here for this, and am starting to get concerned that as projects age, and bots become more prolific, requesting stewards do bigdelete's is going to become a fairly common occurrence if the limit remains at 5,000 for a few more years. Courcelles 06:17, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I knew that you're an enwiki admin, I just never knew that you didn't have access to the bigdelete right. Honestly, that sounds like something that could very reasonably be added to the sysop group there, especially since it still only takes a couple of clicks to undelete. Sorry for the confusion on my part, Ajraddatz (Talk) 13:20, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The issue isn't the difficulty of undeletion. It's just that a dozen server kitties are crushed under a six-tonne anvil every time someone deletes a page with so many revisions. Jafeluv 14:01, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done since those deletions can only be done by stewards (and yeah, I always wanted to delete something on enwiki ;-)) -Barras 11:32, 21 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Request for gl.wikt

Please delete all the (unnecessary) redirections listed here and here. [ Furagaitas * ] 14:56, 28 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

A bot is going to be needed here, any takers? fr33kman 07:10, 30 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Requests for w:User:Jim Sweeney/Sandbox001

User:Jim Sweeney requested deletion a page in his own userspace. However, it contains too many revisions for local admins to delete. -FASTILY ^(TALK) 04:12, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Multi-wiki requests

User:Mjbmr/vector.js

On 8 August user Mjbmr requested a "global speedy delete request" for all User:Mjbmr/vector.js pages cross-wiki. I've deleted all pages I could as a global sysop, but there are several left I can't delete. For the local admins/stewards, please take a look at here and search for "speedy". Thanks in advance. Kind regards, Trijnstel 16:37, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

will check where local admins are not around and delete them soon. --Jyothis 16:40, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Done those which did not have ops or active ops. --Jyothis 17:14, 20 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
