Administrators' newsletter – September 2024
editNews and updates for administrators from the past month (August 2024).
- Following an RfC, there is a new criterion for speedy deletion: C4, which
applies to unused maintenance categories, such as empty dated maintenance categories for dates in the past
. - A request for comment is open to discuss whether Notability (species) should be adopted as a subject-specific notability guideline.
- Following a motion, remedies 5.1 and 5.2 of World War II and the history of Jews in Poland (the topic and interaction bans on My very best wishes, respectively) were repealed.
- Remedy 3C of the German war effort case ("Cinderella157 German history topic ban") was suspended for a period of six months.
- The arbitration case Historical Elections is currently open. Proposed decision is expected by 3 September 2024 for this case.
- Editors can now enter into good article review circles, an alternative for informal quid pro quo arrangements, to have a GAN reviewed in return for reviewing a different editor's nomination.
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in September 2024 to reduce the number of unreviewed articles and redirects in the new pages feed. Currently, there is a backlog of over 13,900 articles and 26,200 redirects awaiting review. Sign up here to participate!
PVZ CSD declined
editSaw this and wanted to know why it was exactly declined. I know I didn't bring an actual criteria from CSD, but since literally everyone in the afd says delete, wouldn't it fit for a speedy per WP:AVALANCHE and WP:IAR? If I really do need a specific criteria, I'd say G14 would match. TheWikiToby (talk) 03:47, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
- I declined it because you pointed to WP:AVALANCHE. That is an essay about early closures of discussions. It is not one of the criteria for speedy deletion. You can request an admin close the discussion early, but that is different from a speedy deletion. -- Whpq (talk) 04:14, 6 September 2024 (UTC)
