So, what is the rationale for deletion of this page, anyway? WikiIndex:Vanity wiki or WikiIndex:Prohibited content? The log is silent. Leucosticte (talk) 21:36, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
- A series of pages were deleted without deletion summary. I'd say that a possible reason is obvious from the title of the page. I am guessing that this was a Leucosticte wiki, but don't know that, the domain is privately registered, the host being Dreamhost, which L. uses. There could be a deletion reason, "Leucosticte wiki" and I'm only half-joking.
- Policy is under discussion, and I expect that there will be a series of pages put up for undeletion, at least for review. I have the XML from one page, courtesy of the deleting administrator, but it may be much more efficient to just undelete and blank, which will then allow specific discussion.
- Right now, the deletion reason does not matter. Anyone may request that the deleting administrator undelete, and response to that is up to the administrator. If an administrator refuses, then any other administrator may look and act, and if no admin is willing, the community may discuss. (Asking a lot of administrators is considered disruptive. Ask the deleting admin, and if no satisfaction, ask maybe one more, then go to the community, and I hope to make that process simpler and not disruptive.
- At this point, though, we need to get some policy straight. Doing this case-by-case, given how disruptive discussions of anything involving topics like child porn can be, is a classical Bad Idea. --Abd (talk) 23:14, 7 January 2015 (UTC)
