'''Semi-deletion''' or '''pure wiki deletion''' was a proposal for a revamping of | '''Semi-deletion''', or '''pure wiki deletion''', was a {{tag|wiki idea|proposal}}, initially raised in late [[:Category:Founded in 2003|2003]], for a revamping of [[wiki]]s' deletion processes on [[:Category:Wikipedia|Wikipedia]] that never materialised. It would have established a new tier of [[deletion]]: page semi-deletion, in addition to the already-existing page deletion and [[revision deletion]]. Brian Wolff remarked that it might suffice to give all [[user]]s power to view revisions of deleted pages (i.e. those stored in the {{tag|wiki}} sites' {{Mw|Manual:archive table|archive table}}). A counter-argument to this was that pages deleted for being, say, [[copyvio]]s, would not be suitable to be viewed by all users. | ||
[[Category: | ;''Observation of proposal | ||
The [[:Category:Copyright|copyright]] argument was completely bogus, the kind of thinking that got [[English Wikipedia]] trapped into endless controversy. Actual copyvio could be absolutely deleted. The proposal would not have kept illegal content! If combined with routine [[WikiIndex:Protected page|protection]] of such pages, when deleted through a closed discussion, the continual problem of the re-creation of such pages would have been greatly reduced, it would then have required an admin action to allow the page to be unblanked. On [[:Category:Wikiversity|Wikiversity]], an analogous processes was established by {{U|Abd}}. | |||
