This page is no longer being updated, and has been retired in favour of Wikipedia:Deletion policy/Reducing VfD load/Analysis.

This page is intended to gather statistics on VFD. All times are in UTC.

Transwiki votes are counted as delete for the purposes of this page (as a transwiki would indicate the article is unencyclopedic). Articles receiving only one vote are not counted. Speedy delete votes are counted as delete votes; likewise with the actual speedying of an article itself.

Overall

edit
  • On this date as of 1228 UTC, there were 638 articles on VfD (an increase of 262 articles, or 69.7% from the last time this exercise was conducted!).
  • Of these articles, at least 314 or 49.2% of all articles listed would definitely be deleted (articles from February 19 and 20 are not included).
    • If you deduct articles from February 18, it becomes 220 or 54.7%.
  • In addition, there were 76 (!) articles with consensus to keep or redirect (articles from February 18, 19 and 20 are not included). This is an increase by 65 articles since the last time this exercise was conducted.
  • Notably, this VfD cycle forced an alteration of the standards for tallying votes; it is apparent that the uptake in volume has resulted in a considerable delay of voting.
