Shared deletion

I suggest, that an administrator should normally not delete a page directly. Ideally at least two wiki users should be involved. Of course, if pages contain obviously nothing but spam, then the deletion discussion may be skipped (? - you know only admins can check, if a page contained only spam, if it is already deleted)... Please let us know what we think about it. Wikily --Wolf | talk 03:31, 10 January 2012 (PST)

If we go to that system, how to we note that an Admin or User agrees? Does this need another Template or do we just make a note like: "Delete Agree - Tera" I think the process needs to be defined better? Also, if a user nominated a page for deletion, and tagged it, does that count as one of two users needed? As for blatant spam, that should be obvious by links or other such things on the page, so yes, no delay should occur in that case. TeraS 09:52, 10 January 2012 (PST)
First, it's good that we come to this talk. Welcome Tera :-) I just wanted to prevent that admins delete pages that they dislike themselves. So if one admin thinks a page could be spam but isn't sure, he/she only tags it as to delete, and another admin deletes it then. The next problem is, that we discuss delete requests on the talk pages. These are normally deleted with its article page and then the discussion will be lost and no ordinary user can read why the article was deleted. So far this little thoughts from me. Of course, if there is a user who wants to keep an article, we have to discuss first (I've no idea how long this should last). Best, Wolf | talk 12:03, 10 January 2012 (PST)
