Wikipedia talk:Preliminary Deletion

Sounds good to me. :)

I really think people should be able to vote delete, not only keep as alternatively proposed. That way one can see how much checking the listings have gotten. People will also be more inclined to help check when they can document their checking contributions. Thue | talk 18:20, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Why don't we just make a policy that if an article on VfD has unanimity for deletion after three days, we close debate and delete it? That would obviate the need for yet another page for those of us involved in this sort of thing to monitor. -- Jmabel | Talk 19:01, Oct 22, 2004 (UTC)

Beats me. I do recall that some inclusionists bitched about this when some people removed discussions from VfD before the duration was up, even though it was clear the article(s) concerned wouldn't be kept. I guess anything would be good at this point. I'm just fed up of hearing the same old extremist inclusionist crap day after day. I want to solve this so we can get on with work instead of getting unanimous votes on VfD and constant moaning about how inappropriate articles were speedy deleted.

I objected to discussions being removed before the voting period was over, because in general those doing the removing were those who were opposed to VfD in the first place, and because there was no policy change which allowed such an action to occur. RickK 04:55, Oct 23, 2004 (UTC)
That would work too IMO. But there is some value to 1) Making VFD shorter 2) collect all the real debates one place and all the obvious stuff another place. I prefer seperate pages. Thue | talk 19:43, 22 Oct 2004 (UTC)
