Wikiversity talk:Deletions/Working copy

WV:RFD has become horribly bogged down because it's been impossible to reach consensus on the deletion of essentially blank pages. part of the goal for this working copy will be to establish a speedy deletion criteria for such pages so that each of these pages do not require a drawn-out vote (in many cases the deletion discussion takes far more effort and content than does the creation of the page. I think there should be a set of speedy deletion criteria much like what's on the deletion policy page, as well as delayed deletion for pages of this type. --SB_Johnny talk 13:22, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

No praise?
A question on the "no praise" criteria that is on the main copy page: if someone has genuinely helped you out a lot and you would like to thank them or make references to the help they've given you, what is the policy here? Would it be acceptable to say "a special thank you to" or something along those lines? Exactly what sort of praise is this referring to? Trinity507talk 17:56, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Where do you find "no praise"? The Jade Knight (d'viser) 19:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * See Deletion_policy. "This includes pages with only... praises (e.g. "this guy is great!")..."  Trinity507, I think the keyword there is only.  That is, an empty page with nothing but "this guy is great!"  --mikeu talk 19:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * In other words, there's no problem with thanking or praising other users on talk pages. Go right ahead!  The Jade Knight (d'viser) 19:16, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, lol. Keep in mind we also had issues a couple years ago with a spambot that randomly created pages with complimentary messages. That might be where that came from. --SB_Johnny talk 19:26, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Makes sense! Thanks for clearing that up - maybe we should specify that on the policy page. Trinity507 05:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
