This is a proposed policy. For the record, the original author of this proposal is blankfaze. Proposals VI and VII were added by Isomorphic. Proposal VIII was suggested by Netoholic. Proposal IX was added by Eequor and adjusted by Brockert and Merovingian. Proposal X was added by Merovingian and adjusted by Eequor.
For some time, discussion has been ongoing at Wikipedia talk:Candidates for speedy deletion about possible expansions to Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion (WP:CSD). I have decided to bring a number of these proposals to a formal vote.
Those who follow Wikipedia:Votes for deletion (WP:VFD) may notice listings for pages which should obviously be deleted, and faster than the seven-day VFD process allows for. This proposal is an attempt to expand the cases in which a page can be speedily deleted. Additionally, some users consider current CSD cases to be vague or unclear; this proposal also attempts to clarify them.
This proposal is really a group of proposals; rather, it is entirely possible for one of the sub-proposals to fail and others to pass. As such, please treat each sub-proposal as a separate issue.
Voting on these proposals began at 00:00 UTC on January 2, 2005 and lasted two weeks until 00:00 UTC, January 16, 2005. Each sub-proposal required 70 percent support ("Agree" votes) to pass. Three of the eleven sub-proposals garnered the necessary 70 percent support and, having received the approval of Jimbo Wales, are now official policy.
| Voting is now CLOSED. |
| Three of the 11 proposals passed. Results are below. |
| Please do not alter any part of the proposal as it stands. Direct all discussion to the talk pages. |
There is a page for general talk on the expansion, not on any specific proposal.
