Meta:Requests for deletion

Shortcut:
WM:RFD

This page hosts proposals for page deletion. Before using this page, see the Deletion policy, in particular the criteria for speedy deletion. Also make note of the various criterias for inclusion that Meta-wiki purports; this is not Wikipedia. Place {{RFD}} on the page you are proposing for deletion, and then add an entry in the appropriate section below; any language may be used on this page. After at least one week, an administrator will carry out the consensus or majority decision.

Articles that qualify for speedy deletion should be tagged with {{delete}} or {{delete|reason}}, and should not be listed here. (See also speedy deletion candidates.) Images with no sources should be tagged with {{no source}} and need not be listed here, either. To request undeletion, see #Requests for undeletion. See Meta:Inclusion policy for a general list of what does not belong on the Meta-Wiki.

Proposals for new projects

The following discussion is closed: kept per consensus. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:27, 8 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Nothing ever seems to be made from this page. It seems to be useless. If people want to start new projects, they can make the proposal on its own page, and not a hugely long one that no one ever looks at.

Keep as historical unless merged to the current archives (if exist). --Aphaia 16:00, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Tag as historical. There does seem to be some interesting history in this page but I think Majorly is right that people looking to propose new projects are now better directed elsewhere. WjBscribe 19:46, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete - keeping it a historical makes it seem like you can't do it any more. 86.162.25.76 12:09, 29 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Ideas on how to write about--and how not to write about--film

The following discussion is closed: Deleted. If someone will need to import it, I may undelete and give an XML dump of it — VasilievV ² 17:24, 10 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Old unused page, should be on Wikipedia, not here.

Delete Majorly ^talk 19:39, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Transwiki or delete. I would agree with Majorly, this looks pretty enwiki-centric and has little to do with cross-project collaboration. Could perhaps become a subpage at Wikiproject Film on enwiki, otherwise delete. WjBscribe 19:44, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Quick delete even, as it is out of scope of project. Huji 20:06, 28 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Quick delete I'm with Huji - out of scope --Herby ^{talk thyme} 08:13, 29 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Comment - I disagree with the speedy deletion, since it doesn't fall under WM:CSD#G7; it was not out of scope when it was created. Since it is linked from w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines ([1]), I suggest to transwiki this page to Wikipedia. Korg 10:07, 29 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete, looks to be for Wikipedia, not here. Singu larity 06:22, 30 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete per nom. --_~Innv ^s: 07:40, 30 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete, WikiProject Film on en.wiki has some pretty good comprehensive pages that deal with this already. Cirt 12:04, 30 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Transwiki Belongs on EN:WP.--Poetlister 12:06, 30 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete, I don't think anything said there isn't already said at w:Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines or a similar location, so another copy won't really be necessary. giggy _(:O) 00:30, 31 May 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete Clearly superfluous.--Cato 19:08, 1 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Note - Since this page is going to be deleted, transwikied or not, and might or might not be appropriate on Wikipedia, I've left a note at en:Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Films to know if it would be actually suitable there. Korg 01:25, 4 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Transwiki on enwiki or delete. --Kiensvay 01:32, 4 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete --Mardetanha ^talk 02:02, 4 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Special:Import into enwiki to preserve GFDL compliance (texts seem to have common root?); note that this will have to wait for SUL to be fully completed. Oh, and for the importers usergroup to be activated and populated on enwiki. James F. (talk) 11:01, 7 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete I believe Wikipedia:WikiProject Films/Style guidelines and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (writing about fiction) cover all the information listed at this page. Nishkid64 (talk) 16:31, 8 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
If this is more general than guidlines at Wikipedia this could perhaps go to Wikiversity. --Emesee 19:37, 8 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Early Muslim view of history

The article seems to be out of the scope of Meta. I'm not sure if there is any value of keeping for historical reasons. Huji 16:49, 15 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Delete Not even close to what Meta is for. Speedy? It's not an official reason for deletion, but geez, I'm surprised that it's lasted this long... EVula // talk // ☯ // 17:34, 15 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

Poles are evil

old deletion requests, see top of Talk:Poles are evil

The article is neither funny nor educating nor historical, but offending (and yes 'polls' were meant)... It is continuosly visited by obviously offended readers, who "vandalize" there, imho understandable. I therefore would suggest to delete the page or at least change the title to something not offending, thanks, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 01:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]

delete per nom, --birdy geimfyglið _{(:> )=|} ∇ 01:10, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
delete - bad humour, offends a culture and I prefer Polls are evil which is basically what people should be looking at..--Comet styles 01:55, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
delete per nom. Monobi (talk ) 02:07, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
delete It's not even funny... --Werdan7 ^{T @} 02:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete Some parodies are funny; others are tasteless. This is the latter. -- Avi 04:50, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
delete — The title would be mildly funny in a talk page post (and would still be inappropriate in most contexts). I'm amazed this has lingered for most of 4 years. Post-delete, redirect as a possible spelling mistake. Cheers, User:Jack Merridew aka David 05:51, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
delete. I am surprised that this has been discussed before and kept. It is tasteless and inappropriate. --Bduke 07:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete; most Poles aren't evil. (In seriousness, I agree with the above.) giggy _(:O) 09:08, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete - In simple words: Poles are evil is evil! Huji 11:32, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
Delete - They may hold buildings up, they are not evil. Soxred93 13:34, 17 June 2008 (UTC) [reply ]
