Proposal XI (Unimproved vanity articles)

(Vote) (Discuss)

The following case should be added to Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion:

Extremely blatant vanity articles listed on Category:Articles which may be unencyclopedic at least for 3 days without any improvement or dispute. (Examples of blatant vanites are bands that have never released an album, contain no members that are famous for reasons other than being in the band, and have no press coverage—also, people where the article makes no claim of notability and the person gets virtually no Google hits, not including any of Wikimedia's websites or mirrors.)
If an article is an autobiography, the administrator may, at his/her discretion, move it to the author's userpage.

Note: Because proposal XI is a weaker alternative of proposal III, if both pass, Proposal III should be implemented.

Disagree

  1. Still too subjective - David Gerard 00:40, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  3. Same reason as #3. There must be a clearer way to word this concept.--Sketchee 01:48, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)

  6. Overly subjective, plus I'd rather leave the Google test out of CSD. Ливай | 03:53, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  7. The weird thing is, we all know what you mean, and I think everyone wants these articles gone without a lag, but this wording would allow too broad an "interpretation".Dr Zen 05:22, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  10. So if the article creator improves or expands it, making a better article even though its still vanity inappropriate for Wikipedia, it can stay? The proposal also ignores the fact that the creator will almost always dispute deletion, meaning that under this proposal the article still couldn't be speedy'd. This proposal is useless.

  12. hfool/Wazzup? 23:47, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC). Still much to subjective. We'd agree that these sorts need to go, but....

  19. Suffers from the same flaws as Proposal III, and 3 days is not enough time. -- Netoholic @ 20:03, 2005 Jan 3 (UTC)
  20. Just adding an extra complication. Use vfd. -- Francs2000 | Talk [[]] 20:26, 3 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  21. Keith D. Tyler [flame] 21:03, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC) Bad idea, and the sneaky "unamended version implication" clause (which has been rejected elsewhere -- why not here?) is deplorable and unacceptable.
  22. Shane King 01:42, Jan 4, 2005 (UTC) Adding more ambiguity is not the way to fix ambiguity.
