Speedy Deletion ( talk| | history| logs| links| watch) ( article| XfD| restore)

This was formerly a WP:XNR to Wikipedia:Deletion policy and probably Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion and I'd wandered if the likes of Articles for deletion should redirect to Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia where it is discussed. However recently an even more suitable article at Deletion of articles on Wikipedia has been created and Articles for deletion was re created as a redirect there per Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2021 October 9. I therefore propose we do the same for Speedy deletion as well as perhaps Proposed deletion. Note that the RFD was "Speedy Deletion" (capital D) but lower case Speedy deletion should exist with the appropriate tags and categories etc. I'm aware of the arguments for and against keeping XNRs such as WP:PANDORA but if we have an article discussing the project page redirecting to it seems appropriate. I'd also note that if you search for Speedy Deletion currently you get results such as articles that are currently nominated for speedy deletion which isn't that useful and therefore has some of the issues with CNRs anyway though the Deletion of articles on Wikipedia does show up 1st.

• Unsalt - I feel like it's reasonably uncontentious to allow unsalting to redirect it to an actual article. ProcrastinatingReader ( talk) 23:44, 27 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• Unsalt. As long as Deletion of articles on Wikipedia remains unchallenged in mainspace, redirects to it of this sort should be allowed to exist. The original reason for deleting, WP:XNR and WP:R#DELETE bullet #6, does not apply here, but to be clear, XNRs from mainspace are still unacceptable and the history should remain deleted.

• I'd also note that Speedy delete exists and Speedy Delete was kept at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2014 September 9#Speedy Delete though these redirects should have been included in the 2016 RFD for "Speedy deletion" which would have resulted in deletion. These should probably be retargeted to Deletion of articles on Wikipedia and if that article is deleted we should probably change them to Deletionism and inclusionism in Wikipedia.

  There is also Criteria for Speedy Deletion that exists but Criteria for speedy deletion is salted. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 16:22, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply

  Clearly, the first one has just not been noticed before and should be deleted, but left available for recreation as a mainspace redirect. The second one should be unsalted. Spinning Spark 17:21, 28 October 2021 (UTC) reply

• Overturn Salting. The application of protection was excessive, both in level and duration. -- SmokeyJoe ( talk) 04:33, 29 October 2021 (UTC) reply
• (involved — contr. to the Deletion article) Overturn salting per all above. Deletion of articles on Wikipedia changes things significantly. All such terms (including Criteria for speedy deletion) should target this article. — Alalch Emis ( talk) 19:28, 1 November 2021 (UTC) reply
