Requests for deletion

Archives (current)→

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. You may use {{subst:RFD2|page name|reasons here. --~~~~}} under the appropriate section to start the deletion discussion. As a courtesy, you may wish to inform the principal authors of the page about the request using {{subst:RfD notice|page name --~~~~.}}. 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.

File:Newlogo3.png

Other proposed logos by Magnus Manske have recently been undeleted. This one is similar: it was uploaded by him and added to Logo suggestions by him, with a claim it was from him. And if it really is this logo, it may well be below the threshold of originality. Janhrach (talk) 12:14, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Note: the others were undeleted not for that reason, but because the author made a fresh authorship claim and relicensed the upload. — xaosflux ^Talk 09:42, 17 March 2025 (UTC)

Do you mean this or am I missing something? He said he relicensed all [his] Wikipedia logo suggestions here; but yes, he has made no explicit authorship claim to this logo. Janhrach (talk) 15:24, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

"Here" may be ambiguous. "Here" as related to that discussion, this project, dunno. — xaosflux ^Talk 17:24, 21 March 2025 (UTC)

I'm inclined to interpret "here" as "on Meta-Wiki" and undelete. * Pppery * _{it has begun} 17:15, 25 March 2025 (UTC)
