Incubator:Requests for deletion

Speedy deletion
On Incubator Plus, most deletion requests are speedy deletion requests. Criteria for speedy deletion are effectively the same as on Wikimedia Incubator, and can be found here. Pages that should be speedily deleted should be tagged with delete with a proper reason and the requester's signature. This page is for nominating test wikis for deletion, or for nominating pages related to the maintenance of the Incubator for deletion. For discussing about the deletion of pages in a specific test wiki, please use the relevant talk pages where the editors of the test wiki are most active in to discuss them (such as the talk page of the test wiki's main page).

Requests for deleting single pages

 * Pages that may be subject to speedy deletion:
 * In general, the rules for speedy deletion are the same as listed on Meta.
 * One rule for speedy deletion unique to Incubator is that pages in the wrong language—either with a prefix reflecting an invalid ISO 639 language code, or written in a language different from the one in the prefix—can be deleted.
 * Speedy deletions may be proposed by putting delete (and a reason) on the pages that should be deleted and will thereby be added to Category:Maintenance:Delete, where an administrator will decide about them. It is not needed to vote on a speedy deletion. If there are doubts, the administrator reviewing the speedy deletion request will ask the proposer. If you have doubts, but are not an administrator, you are also free to add a remark below the delete template on the page.
 * If the reason you give is because the current name is wrong, somehow (grammar, spelling, etc.), administrators normally assume the content has been moved to a different (better) location. It will help the administrators if you include a link to the moved page in your deletion request.
 * Consider turning the wrong spelling into a redirect to the right spelling before asking for deletion. (And please note that if the wrong spelling is likely to be a common misspelling, it may be useful to leave the redirect, both here and once your test is in its own subdomain.)
 * If you do not turn the wrong spelling into a redirect, please simply add delete to the top of the page. Do not blank out the rest of the page.
 * Please remember: pages cannot be speedy-deleted as long as other pages link to them. Please modify all incoming links before requesting speedy deletion; otherwise, simply leave the original page as a redirect. (Note: This rule doesn't always apply to incoming links from discussion pages and similar administrative pages, if the discussion is already settled.)
 * In other cases, you may put a request below.

Requests for test deletions

 * 1) You can propose a deletion of a test language. You may only propose a deletion of a test language which does not have a proposal on Meta or is rejected by the langcom.
 * 2) You can vote, but it has just a little bit of influence. Arguments are better.
 * 3) You can propose moving the test to the Incubator Plus.
 * 4) After 10 days, an administrator will make a decision about deleting the test or not.
 * 5) If needed, an XML file must be exported (needed means: if the test is not vandalism or nonsense – in general, use common sense)
 * 6) Remember that this has nothing directly to do with the decision of the language committee (langcom).

Requests for undeletions
All requests for deleted pages to be restored can be added below, as well.
