User:Mathiastck/Template talk:Future article talk page

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wasn't there a page here? Mathiastck 15:06, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Yeah it got deleted

I don't understand why articles are put through a deletion process without any attempt to discuss whether to delete the article in it's talk page. I'm now looking for an appropriate place to discuss the deletion of this specific talk page, and it's article. Here are the places I've found so far:

Template:Future_article_talk_page

Template_talk:Future_article_talk_page

Template_talk:Futureart

Template_talk:Db-talk

Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#G8:_Talk_pages

Wikipedia_talk:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion#Extend_G8_to_include_.22needed.22_articles

Wikipedia_talk:Talk_page_guidelines#Setting_up_a_talk_page_for_a_future_but_not_yet_created_article.3F

User_talk:Mathiastck#Template_moved

User_talk:RyanGerbil10#Deletion_of_Template:Future_article_talk_page

User_talk:BigNate37/TM/Future_article_talk_page

User_talk:Nae'blis#Template:Future_article_talk_page

Category_talk:Candidates_for_speedy_deletion#Talk_pages

As well as some meta pages on related issues. Mathiastck 15:43, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

See the Deletion discussion. I'll tag this page for re-deletion in a few days, under WP:CSD#Criteria G4/G8. (sorry, I was kinda interested in using this template too, but the process has spoken, and has redirected us to using Wikipedia:Requested articles, as we should have been doing (Notes on subjects can be added there, see this example under Evolution)). --Quiddity 19:04, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Um I think you are misinterpreting G8. I would suggest you read it again, and see the discussion of G8 on G8's talk page. I'm currently trying to use G8 to assist in the creation of this article :) Mathiastck 14:22, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Quidity, how do you interpret G4 or G8 as justifying nominating this page for speedy deletion? This talk page is not nearly identical to the one that existed before it. The one that existed before it was accompanied by the article, and had people discussing tweaks to it. Now this talk page is doing what it should have been used for when someone first put it up for deletion, to discuss whether the article should be, or have been, deleted. It seems like the CSD discussion only had participants who liked to delete things. Everywhere I could look for policy, (as I have tried to demonstrate with the above links), I have found a very different interpretation on the policy of deleting talk pages.

[edit] This got deleted too

This current home is the backup. On the Talk Page for the Template Future article talk page I was trying to discuss the legality of talk pages that exist without corresponding articles. Unfortunately the current criteria for speedy deletion do seem to instruct everyone to delete any talk page that exists without a corresponding article :( I'll continue using this page to chart the various pages where this issue is discussed, and I invite anyone to comment here.
