This page hosts local (i.e., Meta-Wiki) requests for page deletion. For requests for speedy deletion from global sysops or stewards, see Steward requests/Miscellaneous. Any language may be used on this page. Before commenting on this page, please read the deletion policy, in particular the criteria for speedy deletion, and the inclusion policy. Please place the template {{RFD}} on the page you are proposing for deletion, and then add an entry in an appropriate section below. As a courtesy, you may wish to inform the principal authors of the page about the request. After at least one week, an administrator will close and carry out the consensus or majority decision.

Articles that qualify for speedy deletion should be tagged with {{delete}} or {{delete|reason}}, and should not be listed here. (See also speedy deletion candidates.) Files with no sources should be tagged with {{no source}} and need not be listed here, either. To request undeletion, see #Requests for undeletion. See Meta:Inclusion policy for a general list of what does not belong on the Meta-Wiki.

Previous requests are archived. Deletion requests ({{Deletion requests}}) can be added to talk page to remember previous RfDs.

Lagen David Atuka and Christine Butegwa

Can't see how these are in scope, though they have been staying here for quite a while. Perhaps they should be moved to Wikipedia. ~~~~

Delete/transwiki Per nom. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 11:42, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Transwiki - should be on enwp. Out of scope here. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 12:06, 30 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Out of scope here. Kromsipol (talk) 23:46, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed these are out of scope for Meta. If the consensus is to transwiki them to enwiki I suggest to lodge a request on w:Wikipedia:Requests for page importation so they can assess if these are worth importing. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 09:10, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@Sandra Aceng: before I delete these, do you want them moved to drats on the English Wikipedia? — xaosflux ^Talk 18:41, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, please move it to English Wikipedia. Thank you Sandra Aceng (talk) 19:09, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Yes i agree, sorry, this was a mistake. Kindly help it move it to Wikipedia Sandra Aceng (talk) 19:01, 11 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

$1

Don't think this redirect is necessary. Stang 01:56, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think this serves a good purpose. If we delete the page there will be a lot of links to $1 in the Translations: namespace, as a result of which, this page will show up in the Special:WantedPages. To avoid that, it should be kept, IMO. Hulged (talk) 04:01, 7 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

User:Kisnaak

Attack page of multiple users after local block. Violation of Meta:Inclusion policy, speedy deletion under G9. Kromsipol (talk) 23:52, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Base: Hello. The text of the page seems to be written in Ukranian. Could you please read it and advice? Thanks, —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:55, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It is in Russian. Kisnaak is actually blocked on Ukrainian Wikipedia until he removes that userpage content as per Arbcom decision: uk:ВП:ПЗВ155#Рішення. So it is actually that the block is for the attacks on this page, not the other way round (except for the last section). I do agree that it probably should be deleted, it does contain a few personal attacks as well as attacks on the Ukrainian Wikipedia community as a whole, but I would abstain myself: Kisnaak and I were both members of the previous Arbcom tenure, and I have somewhat tense relations with them. --Base (talk) 12:03, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Merchandise giveaways/Nominations/Dainus36

Nominated themself. Maybe troll. Kromsipol (talk) 23:56, 8 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see a need to delete the page. The Merchandise staff can archive it if it is out of scope or against the rules. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 10:56, 12 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe @Vermont might wanna take a look at this. Seems okay to be declined. Camouflaged Mirage (talk) 07:18, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

Submit your template deletion request at the bottom of this section.

Babel templates

Depreciated templates. Convert to use {{#babel:}} and delete. --Minorax^«¦talk¦» 15:59, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 15:08, 27 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Done except for the first one for now; can anyone please help update User:LuCKY? – when I try to replace {{User tr}} by {{#babel:plain=1|tr}}, it gets misaligned with the userbox below. Thanks. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 20:31, 4 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The cause is that Babel boxes floats to the right by default (left if RTL). AFAIK, the only way to fix is using a CSS rule with higher specificity since {{#babel}} gives us no parameters for styling purposes. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 15:46, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
As a work around, I'm styling {{User SUL Box}} instead. However, this required adding another parameter, |float={{{float|left}}}, to its sub-templates. Since {{User SUL Box/he}}, the only one written in a RTL language, was not stylized with |float=right, my edits should be non-controversial. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 16:06, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Subtemplates of User SUL Box

No useful content. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 16:26, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categories

Submit your category deletion request at the bottom of this section.

Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates/Tabs

These aren't templates, and I'm not sure what this has to do with "tabs". Looks like all of these can be recategorised under Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter, which only cointains Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates at the moment, though it might be worth renaming it to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group in line with the mainspace pages. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 21:08, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

If you insist to delete, it then at least can we simply rename it to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group without moving, just so we can keep all the subpages intact? -—M@sssly^✉ 17:53, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I don't understand your request. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 19:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Rename the categories to User Group rather than Chapter; and move everything in /Templates/Tabs to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group. (since they aren't templates; only the header/footer directly under Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates are. –SJ talk 18:47, 3 November 2021 (UTC)

@1234qwer1234qwer4: I have moved Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group and clear Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates/Tabs, so it and Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter could be deleted. I have also moved Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates to Category:Dagbani Wikimedians User Group/Templates altogether, and the former redirect page could be deleted too. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 12:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tools or Category:Tools and scripts

Currently, we have the two categories Category:Tools and Category:Tools and scripts, which are only linked to each other by a "see also" hatnote. The first one is categorised under Category:Software and Category:Infrastructure, while the second one belongs to Category:Documentation. Judging by the name though, it looks that both have essentially the same scope, so this splitting makes pages harder to find. While "Tools" is shorter and more concise, "Tools and scripts" appears to be slightly more inclusive, as well as having a significantly higher number of translations. I would lean towards deleting/redirecting the first one, though I am open to see additional arguments here. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 22:23, 9 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Are there anyone have ideas on how can a bot script or template populates one of both? If no such scripts or templates, I prefer merge 1st to 2nd. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 09:27, 14 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I also prefer merging two categories (are all the same). Thingofme (talk) 16:11, 15 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Merge these two categories by deleting Category:Tools and scripts and then move Category:Tools to Category:Tools and scripts. —— Eric Liu_（Talk） 12:44, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:0x010C

Category referring to a user, only one member. Does not seem to be useful. ~~~~
User:1234qwer1234qwer4 (talk) 12:49, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Seems to be a test page according to history. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 12:54, 1 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
