[edit] Wikipedia:Users' noticeboard

This seems duplicative and unnecessary. There are a lot of other applicable, on-topic noticeboards that any editor can review and comment on. Into The Fray ^T/C 21:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion as is the idea of one user with no attempt to gain consensus first. IMO we are wasting our time even discussing its deletion, SqueakBox 21:37, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Which is the number of the criterion for speedy deletion "it looks to SqueakBox that the idea was of one user with no attempt to gain consensus first"? A.Z. 21:39, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Comment: Nominator, could you say which are the applicable noticeboards? Where would be the appropriate place for me to post about the missing diff? A.Z. 21:40, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

(triple ec) If you're looking for a technical explanation for it, the help desk or village pump - technical. If you think that a part of the edit history was deleted erroneously, WP:ANI perhaps or just WP:AN. I also don't like that a "user's noticeboard" implies that the other "noticeboards" are only for admin's, which they aren't. Or the talk page of the article, perhaps, where it appears there's already a discussion going on. There are probably other places too. Not sure. Into The Fray ^T/C 21:47, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

I'm not looking for a technical explanation. I just want to tell this to many users without canvassing. I don't know why I should post it on the a noticeboard called "administrators' noticeboard" if this is not about administrators. I know that the board is not only for them, but then why having "administrators" in the name? A.Z. 21:58, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Well creating a page nobody has heard of won't do that. AN/I is unquestionably the best place, and Fray is right that AN and AN/I are open to anybody and read by many, esp the latter, and for this purpose (possible oversight) a page admins don't know about is a simple waste of your time. As to the name of AN/I and AN, well here is not the place to discuss that, SqueakBox 22:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC) SqueakBox 22:03, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

WP:AN or WP:AN/I are both appropriate. Particularly in this case only admins can investigate so just talking to other non-admins would be a waste of time now that I have identified where the problem occurred. And you also posted to AN though IMO AN/I would be better, though I have to say if you don't offer the diffs I provided I am sure no admin will do anything, SqueakBox 21:44, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete; {{cent}}, the Village Pumps, and RFCs cover this function well enough, in my opinion. (The more noticeboards, the more "How come I never heard of this?" complaints.) Speedy deletion is inappropriate, however. Gracenotes^T § 21:45, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete, redundant to pretty much everything. The page's stated purpose, to be the place "Where users can tell other users about things happening on Wikipedia that are important, and ask other users for input on various matters," is adequately covered by the different sections of the Village pump, the Help desk, the Administrators' noticeboard, the Incidents noticeboard, Requests for comment, Centralized discussions, and talk pages all over namespace 5.

• Delete I didn't even know that existed. Delete per all the other noticeboards and help desks there are. Phgao 01:48, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete - I didn't know it existed, for goodness' sake! It is extremely redundant, as Gracenotes said. It has been superseded by other, more used places. Neranei (talk) 03:02, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Comment: This noticeboard was just created a couple of hours ago, and that's why you didn't know it existed. It didn't even get the chance to be "superseded by other places" or not. A.Z. 03:06, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
• Delete Gratuitous nonsense. Clio the Muse 03:11, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• It is neither of them, actually. You only say that because you dislike me, or something of the kind. A.Z. 04:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

• Delete according to consensus. Thank you all for telling me about all those places where I can discuss issues with other users. A.Z. 04:51, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
