Discussion
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 around two a months and a half, 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)
