User:Carcharoth/Esperanza MfD review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Comments on layout and extent of review to the talk page please.
Following the Esperanza MfD, numerous Esperanza pages and subpages, as well as images and templates, were deleted, inactivated, redirected, deleted and recreated as a redirect, deleted and recreated as a salted page, and maybe other possibilities not covered here. Some were later restored, some were later deleted. Due to there being literally hundreds of pages, several admins help to carry out the necessary deletions and redirections. Some concern was raised at the time, and in a later deletion review, that some mistakes were made, and this page is a review intended to help demonstrate what happened, and point the way towards a proper tidying up, archving and shelving of Esperanza that will satisfy everyone. It is currently in my userspace, but when it is ready, I propose to move it to an appropriate subpage of the second MfD (the first MfD is already archived as a subpage of that MfD).
I raised these issues with the admin who closed the MfD (Mailerdiablo), and he responded: " I think trawling through the deletion log is the only viable method at the moment I can think of, but I don't expect the deletion period to stretch to over two to three days. (~ 5000-10000 records) - Mailer Diablo 22:39, 10 January 2007 (UTC)" [1]
The following lists and details were obtained from a survey of Wikipedia's deletion log over 9825 entries from 01:43 on 31/12/2006 to 23:02 on 02/01/2007. In addition, the contents of Category:Esperanza and the existing subpages of Esperanza at midnight on 02/01/2007 were also listed, as these may have later been deleted (the deletion log for the intervening hour was also checked and no further deletions or restorations were found there).
The results can be sorted by type (deletion or restoration), page name, time and date of action, and admin involved (5 admins carried out the majority of the deletion work - some of the deletions, usually those in user space, are author-requested speedy deletions).
Deletion and restoration actions after 02/01/2007 have not been added to this record yet.
Full details will come later. For now, a list of the pages (some are user pages, some are templates, most are Wikipedia:Esperanza pages or talk pages). As of 13/01/2007, the list contains 315 pages (restorations may duplicate an earlier deletion):

[edit] Classification of pages
This is Mailer Diablo's classification of pages and how he intended it to be closed, noting that there are two exceptions, Barnstar Brigade and Coffee Lounge which have been MfD-ed separately.
Each subpage can be classified into their relationship to different parts of Esperanza.
