  5. This is already done for redirects (typos) and images. Suggest that "article" be replaced with "page, redirect, or image" when this is written into the WP:CSD page. -- Netoholic @ 00:21, 2005 Jan 2 (UTC)

  45. While I am reluctant about this, if the article has not been edited by anyone but its author the author has the legal right to have it deleted under copyright law anyway. Kelly Martin 17:56, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  46. wheresmysocks 17:56, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC)
  47. Agreed, but only if the clause requesting the original author to be the only author is religiously applied. Let's just hope this isn't twisted by anyone into a concept of article property... Phils 18:30, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  48. Peacenik 20:50, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  49. Just remember that since the author released it under the GFDL, you have the right to not delete it if it is useful (Kelly Martin says it isn't so above?). Thue | talk 21:54, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  75. Keith D. Tyler [flame] 20:58, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC), hopefully even "mistaken" articles with considerable valid content won't be tossed based solely on this

  5. not unless it is worded that *only* applies where no other edits have been done since creation. Vamp:Willow 01:34, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  6. ‣ᓛᖁ♀ᑐ 02:11, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  7. I would agree with this only if it didn't apply when other users have edited the page, unless all collaborators agree with the author's request. Ливай | ☺ 03:48, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    I know there is no discussion on a vote page but the proposal says: "...when only the author has edited it". Not a vote. DJ Clayworth 05:18, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    Alrighty then. Vote changed. Ливай | ☺ 09:21, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  8. They no longer "own" the article once they submit it...I suppose it depends on the case, but what if it was a perfectly valid article? Adam Bishop 04:06, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
    I answered on the talk page. Rafał Pocztarski 12:42, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  9. Agree with Adam. RadicalSubversiv E 09:30, 2 Jan 2005 (UTC)
  10. RickK 21:23, Jan 2, 2005 (UTC). We have had cases where people have demanded that their vanity articles be deleted because they didn't like what people said about them, which have been turned into decent articles.

  13. In parliamentary procedure, when a member introduces a bill or makes a motion, it is no longer his property and to withdraw it requires the consent of the body. So I vote no. PedanticallySpeaking 19:13, Jan 3, 2005 (UTC)
