Instructions
This is a page for creating and resolving concerns on the topic: "Reducing the maximum time limit for deletion, merge, separation, and restoration requests."
At the end of the page, there is a "Create New Concern" button, which you can use to voice your concerns or questions about the proposal. You can use the "Refresh This Discussion" button, which allows you to make sure that all changes have been saved.
After 7 days of discussion, the concerns stage will end. All points brought up during that phase will be taken into account and an administrator, assistant, or the proposal's creator can move the discussion to voting, modifying the original proposal with any changes discussed by the community.
You can also add your comments to existing concerns. On the other hand, if you have no concerns, then you just wait for the voting stage.
Have a happy discussion!
Proposal
I am proposing a small change to the policy for deletion, merge, separation, and restoration requests:
- 3. Deletion, merge, separation and restoration discussions generally last seven (7) days.
- 4. Exceptions
- i. If a discussion does not receive a consensus (70%) either way after
one (1) monthtwo (2) weeks, the discussion can be closed as "no consensus" and the page is kept.
- i. If a discussion does not receive a consensus (70%) either way after
Basically, I am proposing we should lower the maximum time a deletion/merge/separation/restoration request can last from one month to two weeks. This is because a process as simple as merging or separating a page should not warrant a month long discussion. I think two weeks is long enough.For example, my deletion request for the BBC Children in Need Medley has gone on for almost a month, and after the first two weeks or so of it being open, very few people have voted. Thus, I think two weeks is long enough to tie up any loose ends in deletion/merge/separation/restoration requests.
Any questions or issues you have? Simply leave a concern, and be sure to stick around for the voting stage. SpongyFanatic2021 M·C·E
