    Deletion sorting for spam articles...

    Have a look at Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Websites, is there consensus to have one like this, where listings related to WP:ARTSPAM and promotional campaigns could be sorted, IE Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Spam, or somthing a bit more innocuous.--Hu12 (talk) 19:30, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    Thoughts? this could potentialy raise much awareness on cases to this ongoing problem of unsourced an purely promotional additions which fall outside the WP:CSD#G11 criteria.--Hu12 (talk) 19:37, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Spam is a subjective quality description of an article. As such, I don't think delsort would apply. For instance, we don't have delsort categories for nonnotable articles, listcruft, or articles just made up some day; although they are all listed at AfD. ThemFromSpace 20:01, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
    Maby just one Cat, Vanispamcruftisement, should cover all the bases...LOL. Your right, the naming conventions are too subjective, Would like to find a way where they aren't so they can be trackable with cases here or elsewhere. --Hu12 (talk) 20:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]


    Page "Heinrich Rau" overlaps with my username

    I need the possibility to edit pages like "Heinrich Rau" without automatically created spamlinks. (Three such links were created the last three days.) Thank you. --Henrig (talk) 22:28, 11 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

    I assume you are also User:Henrig on de.Wikipedia? From what I've seen of your edits to the article Heinrich Rau (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views), both on en.Wikipedia.org and de.Wikipedia.org look just fine and do not appear to be spam. Perhaps I'm missing something?--Hu12 (talk) 04:44, 12 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
