Misplaced Pages:Advertising as a Speedy Deletion Category

I have created a proposal for a new speedy deletion category. Please read it and comment on it (preferably on its talk page, not here.) Grandmasterka 21:56, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Misplaced Pages:Neologisms as a Speedy Deletion Category

I have also created a proposal for a new speedy deletion category. Feel free to read it and comment on it either here, or on its talk page. J.J.Sagnella dated 22:34, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

Question

I see a user creating a lot of pages about the songs of some non-notable band. These are candidates for speedy, right? --waffle iron  18:10, 25 April 2006 (UTC)

Updating through the backlog

I've done some but it's nearly 3.30am and I have to be up for work in the morning! I'll do the rest next time I'm online. -- Francs2000 02:23, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Done. I've also removed any listings that were placed on this page: listings belong on the main page, not the talk page. -- Francs2000 23:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Tagged for cleanup

The speedy deletions page has been messed up by a few bad edits, and needs some cleanup attention today.

Really, the list of speedy deletions and the policy should be on different pages to avoid problems like this. --John Nagle 17:30, 24 May 2006 (UTC)

Deletion of Redirects

On 22-May, two examples were added to the Deletion of Redirects section. These examples do not meet the speedy deletion criteria for redirects. I've removed them and placed a comment regarding criteria and RFD instead. Thanks. -- JLaTondre 14:18, 29 May 2006 (UTC)

question for any admin who knows the answer

can something be speedily-deleted and not reflected in the deletion log? WɔlkUnseen 19:46, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Any deletions of pages, images, or revisions should show up in the deletion log. — TheKMan 19:59, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

Question moved from top of page

Why was my edit listing speedy deletion tags deleted? I finally found the list of all tags and since it took me a while to get there ive been posting relevant tags on all pages (Weasel on weasel, afd on afd, speedy deletion on speedy deletion, etc.) I seem to keep getting reverted, possibly some think that i am trying to take the tag's action? (Speedily deleting the page about speedy deletions, saying that there are weasel words in weasel words, etc.? Just to clearify, this is not the intent, this is meant to make the tags handy for any who need them w/o having to hunt down the tag page. :) Thanks, 72.197.2.40 07:45, 10 June 2006 (UTC) moved by · rodii · 16:15, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

As for the answer... when you added those tags, the effect was not to list them on the page as you might have thought. Instead you listed the page for speedy deletion in every category you listed. There were nine different speedy deletion templates at the top of the page. And the content you wanted to add is already on the page. · rodii · 16:21, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

removing tags

If I place a speedy tag on a page, and then the creator makes substantial changes so the page no longer meets the speedy criteria, can I simply remove the tag before it gets reviewed by an administrater? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.29.141.11 (talk • contribs)

certainly, but I would recommend instead of just removing the tag, replacing the speedy with a {{prod}} and whatever other tags it might need, based on what the speedy tag was for... - Adolphus79 16:43, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
