I usually drop in to update this section once a day, so I thought I'd share my routine. First, I move completed AfDs down, and then look for new ones. When I find a Webcomic-related article on AfD, I will list it here, no matter how obscure, so long as I can find a site for it. With the exception of those that have retired, I don't add AfDs for webcomics without a verifiable internet presence. It ain't a webcomic without the web, after all. I also don't bother with the "Articles that may need a vote for deletion" talk section. If someone of a more deletionist bent would like to look after it, be my guest. –Abe Dashiell 16:18, 9 December 2005 (UTC)
For WP:PROD nominations, if the {{prod}} is removed, I just take it off the list. Only if the article is actually deleted do I put it in the "Articles that have been nominated for deletion" section. –Abe Dashiell 20:34, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I've removed the "Articles that may need a vote for deletion" section. This was basically an early version of WP:PROD, and now that PROD has gone site-wide this seemed redundant. -- Dragonfiend 21:01, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I've added a note about making it transparent when something is added to this list. This is what's done for the Australian wikipedians notice board, for example. - brenneman 03:10, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
When to archive?
How long do you think we should we keep deletion nominations on the main page? I arbitrarily chose the new year for the cut-off date, which was a little over two months, but I'm not attached to that length. Personally, I'd rather we keep the deletion section fairly small. It was the largest single section on the project before, and I didn't like the impression that left. Before the recent spate of deletion nominations, I was thinking three months, but now, two sounds better. Maybe even less. I suppose we could also decide on a rough number of entries to list and just archive the older ones when it gets larger than that. Anyway, now that appears people are looking at this document, I wanted to throw out the question. –Abe Dashiell 06:06, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Oh yes, for the original cut-off date, I based it on when the AfD ended as opposed to when it began. –Abe Dashiell 06:07, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
- Once every two months would be fine -- or even sooner if you think the list is getting too long. -- Dragonfiend 07:45, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
