This user and their sockpuppets User:Naresh Rajad and User:Sri Krishna Raja have made vanispamcruftisement pages on dozens of WMF wikis but have never made a single constructive edit to any of them, so their user pages have no value to the project. Jackmcbarn (talk) 17:42, 24 August 2014 (UTC)

Well, they are not globally locked, so they are still definitely allowed to have a userpage... (not saying that we delete the pages of locked users automatically, but still...) --Rschen7754 04:44, 25 August 2014 (UTC)

I deleted the template as being out of scope. The others are cruft, and of little value. We could keep them and not fuss, or we can delete them and not fuss.  — billinghurst sDrewth 02:31, 4 September 2014 (UTC)

私が管理者にならない100の理由

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

I believe this document written in Japanese is just joke and not appropriate even as an essay, should be deleted. The title means "The reason why I decline sysop nomination", but the problem here is in the content of the page, not in the subject. There are no links to this document. --Penn Station (talk) 10:08, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I think a speedy would probably be ok for this, and the time period for an RFD has passed so deleted, thanks. Thehelpfulone 00:26, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Hi, I request deletion of my user subpages User:Syum90/common.js and User:Syum90/vector.js. Thanks.--Syum90 (talk) 16:37, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

@Syum90: Done. In the future, it would be better if you use {{delete}} for speedy deletion requests and RfD for more substantial/controversial requests (although I doubt anyone really cares where you post obvious stuff like this). PiRSquared17 (talk) 16:41, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

@PiRSquared17: thanks. Does the template {{delete}} work in .js pages?--Syum90 (talk) 16:56, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

@Syum90: Assuming the .js pages here work like those at the English Wikipedia, the template won't display, but if you look at the bottom of the page, the categorization will work properly and the admins will be able to find it. – Philosopher ^{Let us reason together.} 04:21, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I've tested common.css here and elsewhere as /* {{speedy}} */ or similar, because one global.css is good enough for me, it always worked, and ECMAScript for common.js uses the same style of comments. –Be..anyone (talk) 07:23, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

@Philosopher: yes, the categorization works, I've tested it at MediaWiki with my common.js page.--Syum90 (talk) 10:24, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

I found this while reviewing invalid user pages. There's no such user, and the page seems somewhat spammy. On the other hand it was created in 2006, when pseudo-user pages for anonymous users on Meta was still a thing (note an incoming link from a manual signature). Might be historical? Listing it here since I'm not sure. —Pathoschild 04:04, 03 March 2015 (UTC)

I would presume this is a misplaced user page creation by User:CSharp-Online.NET Editor who has a non-unified account on en.wiki with a user page created about the same time. Suggest it is deleted. QuiteUnusual (talk) 12:14, 3 March 2015 (UTC)

Please simply put {{delete|author request}} on your page. You can also blank the old content. I dare not touch it, maybe Dark Bane as of 2015 and Dark Bane as of 2010 is something I don't grok. –Be..anyone (talk) 14:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

It's barely comprehensible. It doesn't seem to make any practical, clear suggestions at all. GKFX (talk) 14:30, 9 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete? As far as I can understand, it says that women should be allowed to edit before men on the wikis, and that'll cause a psychological mechanism that'll make more women edit. Yeah, I don't get it either. Origamite (talk) 13:48, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

Keep at least until the end of the campaign when we can be certain it is abandoned. The user on another wikis has made it know that they need help copy editing when they write in English. Talk page comments were harsh and might have made the editor leave for now. Hopefully with encouragement they will return and we can help them get their idea written down. Sydney Poore/FloNight (talk) 04:17, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

After talking with User:Mehdi ghaed by email about the idea, we decided to change the name to Grants:IdeaLab/Acknowledge women's expertise to better express the idea. We also made the wording for the solution more clear. At this point I can see no justification to delete. Sydney Poore/FloNight 21:02, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Delete, one non-eligible steward vote and one incomprehensible grant page aren't promising. –Be..anyone (talk) 14:08, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment I appreciate the vigilance that the meta community has had in handling deletion of joke and bad-faith ideas in this campaign - so important! But, although we may not yet understand this one, to me it looks more like a good faith idea from a contributor who may lack strong English skills, but was bold enough to try to start getting thoughts down anyway. IdeaLab generally encourages trying to help improve these kinds of contributions rather than shutting them down right away. Siko (WMF) (talk) 16:41, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Above+below, if you'd simply write "keep" instead of "comment" the "no consensus to delete" would be more obvious. –Be..anyone (talk) 20:30, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

Comment. Yes, I would also request that the Meta community allow this idea to stand. There have been plenty of short stub ideas submitted to the IdeaLab, during the current campaign and antecedent to it: this one actually contains more information than many. And since Idea creators don't own IdeaLab ideas, there is always opportunity for others to continue to develop the content that's in place now, according to their own understanding of the proposal. Best, Jmorgan (WMF) (talk) 17:30, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I deleted the redirect but the page in question is Grants:IdeaLab/Acknowledge women's expertise. — regards, Revi 08:59, 13 May 2015 (UTC)

Yes, Template:T user 1 is really obsolete.

Categories

Category:Weekly IRC meetings

The following discussion is closed: Deleted. —MarcoAurelio 17:57, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

In my opinion, the title is too vague, and this seems to be a duplicate of Category:Communication Projects Group - Meetings anyway. I propose to merge this category into the latter. Perhaps a redirect should be left? PiRSquared17 (talk) 23:53, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

After seeing it's content, I think it's a duplicate, I think it's should be merged.--AldNonymous^Bicara? 07:39, 27 February 2015 (UTC)

you shoukd leave the redirect.--Alexmar983 (talk) 03:05, 20 March 2015 (UTC)

I've recategorized the pages in Weekly IRC meetings to the Communication Projects Group - Meetings category but I don't think there's a need to leave the redirect. The title is too generic and Special:WhatLinksHere/Category:Weekly_IRC_meetings has nothing except this page. IMO, we can just delete the category page. --Glaisher (talk) 13:03, 21 May 2015 (UTC)

Agreed. PiRSquared17 (talk) 17:41, 22 May 2015 (UTC)

Category:User Ar

The following discussion is closed: Deleted. Let's hope the extension is fixed. —MarcoAurelio 18:01, 13 August 2015 (UTC)

---

I notice there are a lot of empty language categories like Category:User Ar. Most were created by Babel AutoCreate around January 2014. The category is currently empty as are a lot of others. Do we need these? IMO we don't really need these categories unless someone is actually claiming that language. Reguyla (talk) 18:13, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

• Delete as unused duplicate of Category:User ar. And I think all other old, unused language categories should be deleted, especially when the language code is capitalised (because it shouldn't be). PiRSquared17 (talk) 12:13, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

  The #babel: extension is rather braindead since January, 2014, when it started to be case-insensitive, happily creating a mess on Commons out of BG (bitmaps graphics editor, a user ability) and bg (Bulgarian, a user language), and a few similar sets, forcing a revert to the old Template:Babel system for affected users.

  Meanwhile I created bitmap-1 + 2 for the BG-1 + 2 issue, but the #babel: extension output is still far too ugly, Meta is the only place where it actually works and looks nice. Sadly with a red link on global user pages on almost all other projects. Summary: Make sure that you actually kill the correct set of empty categories, otherwise this thingy automatically creates its own cruft again. –Be..anyone (talk) 13:22, 7 March 2015 (UTC)

  Because of this 1.8.2 2014-01-05 Case insensitive, breaking some user templates. mw:Extension:Babel#Releases?--AldNonymous^Bicara? 00:18, 28 March 2015 (UTC)

This is an unlicensed and unused image that does not appear to fit into the scope of Meta. It can't be moved to Commons because it is unfree, and it can't be moved to a Wikipedia because it won't fit some non-free criteria. Green Giant (talk) 10:55, 2 July 2015 (UTC)
