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.

Aiuto non tradotto en it[edit]

Seems to be a template but created in main namespace. There's only one incoming link which is from a sandbox. NguoiDungKhongDinhDanh 22:01, 9 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

delete unused and we can't have a "suggestion to translate" template for each language--Pierpao (talk) 15:24, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Template:Humour[edit]

Duplicate of Template:Humor/fr. Little usage that can be replaced afterwards -or- we can redirect it to Template:Humor/fr. —MarcoAurelio (talk) 11:28, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Replace uses and then redirect to Template:Humor. Use of the British English spelling is not by itself sufficient to indicate French. * Pppery * it has begun 16:47, 17 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Replace and redirect. As there are probably more people in the UK, Singapore, Canada, Australia, India, Ireland or really most Commonwealth countries than the total number of French speakers, I would expect that more people would probably end up looking for the English version.

Replace and redirect per SHB2000. Hulged (talk) 05:43, 1 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Categories[edit]

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

Category:Dagbani Wikimedians Chapter/Templates/Tabs[edit]

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. ~~~~

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. ~~~~

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 LiuTalk 12:37, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:Tools or Category:Tools and scripts[edit]

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. ~~~~

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 LiuTalk 12:44, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Category:CC-BY-2.5[edit]

Being empty for now and acceptable on Commons, do we need it here?--Jusjih (talk) 20:45, 13 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete Not very useful, files licensed so are fully Commons allowed. Liuxinyu970226 (talk) 03:02, 14 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per Liuxinyu970226--Pierpao (talk) 12:47, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: There are at least 59 files with no machine-readable license data (thousands more lack machine-readable author and/or source). Are we sure that we won't be needing this category if, one day, we manage to go through this forgotten backlog? —MarcoAurelio (talk) 18:28, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
