Policy change: Speedy Deleting deceased nations / regions
One of the sysops is systematically going through Category:Nations and adding {{inclusion}} tags to nations that have ceased to exist. This adds a week-long discussion and multiple page edits to what really should be a quick and obvious decision. I'm recommending the following criteria for speedy deletion of deceased nations:
- Nation is gone from NationStates. Search of The World fails. (Region page should also be checked if possible.)
- NSwiki page was primarily created by a single author (Categorizations, minor fixes excluded)
- If wiki page was created as part of a regionmate's attempt to populate all nations in the region, automatic speedy candidate.
- Content consists primarily of infobox and/or copy-pasted NS description.
- Page does not include links to other articles specifically related to that nation (such as Characters or Capital Cities). Region and language links do not count. Check for a national factbook as well.
- Nation does not have historic significance in NationStates. One quick way to check would be the What links here page to see if other articles have relevant cross-references to this nation. Such nations should be converted to Historic Nations per criteria on Talk:Halls of Memory.
