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.
Please review this list and suggest changes or additions. → Fris Θtalk 15:08, 21 Dec 2004 (GMT)
- I think it should also be mentioned that all of the above have to apply (excl. regional wiki creations, which possibly, can be put with the single author point as one or the other). Just for clarification, in order to mitigate potential misunderstanding. Rechze • (talk) 00:07, 24 Dec 2004 (GMT)
