Votes for Deletion
This page will house votes for deletion of pages which do not meet the agreed upon criteria for page standards (TBC).
Tasks
- Create a criteria for what warrants deletion - Work in progress
- Have an agreement between moderators on who will handle the deletions - Any volunteers?
- With only three moderators and probably not many pages, I don't see there as being much of a reason to give someone sole responsibility over deletions. Why not just have it whoever's first on the scene when time runs out? I'm puzzled as to why we'd need an explicit agreement, but maybe you can clarify? --Bry 00:18, 10 May 2008 (EDT)
- Oh I just meant it can be a bit of an onerous task on more busy wikis so I didn't want to expect all of you to be responsible for it. If you are all happy keeping an eye out for it then we can close this one off too :) ~ Percephene ~ talk contribs 04:25, 10 May 2008

Create a voting template that can be used for each nomination- Done.Create a "This page has been nominated for deletion. Click here to vote" template for the page itselfAgree on how long each vote should be allowed to go for before a moderator decision is made- Done.Agree that if users vote to keep but tidy up that those users have thereby agreed to work on the tidying or else the page will continue to fail deletion criteria or not...- Done.Create a "This page was nommed for deletion but survived. Do not renom without good reason" template to put on the talkpage- Done.
Discussion on these topics will be held on this page's discussion page.
Templates and Procedures
Or, How to VFD for Beginners.
If you see a page that you feel falls short of the criteria for pages:
- Add {{VFD}} to the top of the page.
- Write +VFD in the Edit Summary.
- Come here and copy and paste the pretty table, rename the title to the page's title and cast your vote.
- Try and be descriptive in the nomination vote (the first one) of why you feel the page should be deleted.
All interested users should check here regularly to deliver their verdicts on the nominations' fate.
Once a page has been under vote for approximately 2 weeks, a moderator should delete it and archive the vote at VFD/archive. Then remember to add {{VFDSurvivor}} to the page's talk page if it survived the vote. If a page got a generally weak "keep" response or users mention it needs work, add it to WikiProject:Tidy Up in the appropriate category.
Fine Print
Users who suggest a page be kept on the proviso that it gets tidied up, rewritten, spell-checked etc. are essentially volunteering to do so themselves. If a page survives a vote and you voted so, please do what you can to improve the page.
NO JOKE VFDs. Don't nom the Main Page, or anything silly like that.
No VFDs of user pages. If its yours and you don't want/need it anymore, QVFD is what you need. VFD is for borderline pages which need a community consensus. Never nom another user's sub-pages (a user page is a sub page of a user's namespace i.e. User:Username/Sub Page. User-pages are sacred. If you spot a user-page which seems dodgy, contains porn or other objectionable content, please contact a moderator immediately or list on QVFD explaining the exceptional circumstances. If you don't like User:Percephene/My JoCo Fanfic Involving Pikachu too bad!
You may not remove the {{VFD}} template from a page until the vote has run its course. Exception: A moderator can remove a VFD tag from a page if it is clearly not a VFD candidate i.e. the above two circumstances.

Keep Delete
- Delete - it seems obvious to me this was a one-off. This information could probably go in the individual show page. --Lex (talk - contribs) 19:25, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
- Delete - I was willing to go along with the general consensus to wait and see whether it happened again, but I've been for deleting it from the start (or at least making it something other than a WikiProject, which I understand as something pertinent to wiki maintenance, e.g. lyrics and Song of the Day). --Bry 19:28, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
- Delete - I agree. Make it a page sure, just not WikiProject. Although I'd be interested to see the results! ~ Percephene ~ talk contribs 11:44, 08 May 2008
- Delete- Unfortunately, I agree. I was really hoping he'd hold up to the "let's do this and make the Wiki guys keep track" thing, but it appears to be a one time joke. --MitchO 23:55, 8 May 2008 (EDT)
