==[[Fair Tunes]]==
They don't exist anymore, haven't for 9 years, and can barely be accessed in archive.org now due to robots exclusions. This seems like just a junk stub for a non-existant 3rd party. [[User:BrianSchweitzer|BrianSchweitzer]] 01:21, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

This page lists current candidates for deletion.


Needs Intertwingling

Old cruft pronik 19:45, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

The page itself might be useless, but the "backlinks" might come in handy. navap 00:30, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

A category would be better. - Adan Aileron (talk) 18:39, 17 April 2009 (UTC)
  • +1 The page is itself empty, and any backlinks are likely made redundant via the Needs Review category. User:BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010


History Of Featuring Artist Style and SG5 Disaster Relief

I don't see any relevance for this in the year 2009, with NGS being implemented... pronik 21:32, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Veto: Considering the amount of drama which went into this, and the fact that even today we have people who raise debates about Featuring Artist Style, there would still seem good reason to retain this bit of history. (I'm not against removing history, but I do think we ought to retain history that actually is still useful... consider how many times some of us have wished we still had access to the earlier (official) pre-re-proposal version of SoundtrackStyle...) BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010

History Of Opera Track Style

Mostly non-relevant for anything. CSG2 is upon us. pronik 21:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Veto: Even with CSGv2, the CSGv2 proposal explicitly moves this page, among others, to a historical status in the wiki. It's hard to say that the page is "mostly non-revelant for anything", given that that page itself principally developed the Opera Style proposal, and the concerns raised on it led directly to some of the elements within CSGv2. Esp given the huge debate that's gone in to CSGv2, maintaining some history regarding its development would seem essential, if only to point new users of MB data at when they question why CSGv2 does something the way it does. BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010

Classical Style Guide Discussion History

Discussion history... That's what mailing list archives are for... pronik 21:35, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Again, veto, and for the same rationale as Opera Style. Mailing list archives only work for style development which occurs within that mailing list. Much of the earlier CSG, then Opera Style, then CSGv2 development took place outside of the mailing lists; this page, in particular, was essentially the clearinghouse for post-CSG(v1) modifications to the guideline which, for various and sundry reasons (namely the size of the effort that would be required - eg: CSGv2), never actually happened, prior to CSGv2's rewrite of the entire set of guidelines. BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010

Advanced Moderation

It confuses more than it helps. If it's relevant, those parts should be extracted to an article, otherwise delete it. pronik 21:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Label History

We do have Trac for tracking closed tickets. pronik 21:43, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

  • +1 We do *now* have Trac, plus Trac filters that can give this same list (but current), for this. ;) User:BrianFreud 28 Feb, 2010

Individual cover art pages

I've gathered the various individual permission pages into one page so I think it's safe to delete all the permission pages inside Category:Cover Art and just work from the one page. --navap 15:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Redirected pages without any backlinks

I've fixed all backlinks, so none of these redirect pages are now actually used. BrianSchweitzer 13:26, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

  • -1 These pages are not safe to delete, some of them are referenced at least in edits notes or annotations (e.g. CoverArtSites, AmazonRelationshipType or AdvancedRelationshipStyle). Murdos 13:30, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • The same argument could be made about any page; do we really plan to maintain a massive collection of redirecting pages forever, just to avoid breaking links in edit notes, trac, jira, or annotations? BrianSchweitzer 13:33, 15 March 2010 (UTC) ... Just checking, we have 2160 pages which are redirects. We have 4849 total pages. So nearly 50% of the entire wiki is redirects... BrianSchweitzer 13:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
  • Since the redirection pages are already present, you'll do more harm by removing them than by doing nothing and keeping them. Murdos 14:24, 15 March 2010 (UTC)

More of these

BrianSchweitzer 14:47, 21 March 2010 (UTC) and BrianSchweitzer 21:55, 22 March 2010 (UTC) and BrianSchweitzer 22:27, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

-1 for the following pages that are IMO frequent in edit notes Murdos 23:52, 25 March 2010 (UTC):
No problem here - you have a better sense than I which ones should be kept; I'm just noting the ones that I find. :) BrianSchweitzer 23:55, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Murdos, to clean up this section, any opposition to my clearing any comments to date, and just separating it into 2 sublists? One (growing one) of pages still for consideration, one for pages which qualify but should be saved anyhow? BrianSchweitzer 09:06, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Official Concert Style and OfficialConcertStyle

I created this long ago; it never took off, and there were concerns about the page's name being too easy to confuse with a real guideline. Bit-rotted since the day it was written. :D BrianSchweitzer 08:26, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

From Passed proposal RFC-96

BrianSchweitzer 22:29, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Empty, Unused, and Decommissioned Relationship Class/Family pages

BrianSchweitzer 20:58, 17 March 2010 (UTC) (and BrianSchweitzer 14:44, 21 March 2010 (UTC)) (and BrianSchweitzer 21:41, 22 March 2010 (UTC)) (and BrianSchweitzer 22:38, 25 March 2010 (UTC))

Has Tabs on OLGA At Relationship Type

Has Tabs on OLGA At Relationship Type - My error; it wasn't until I dug into oldwiki that I realized I had the old AR's name wrong. BrianSchweitzer 23:09, 17 March 2010 (UTC)

Old Proposal pages for Passed proposals

These are now redirects to the official page.

Old Proposal pages since replaced by other proposal pages

Unused + Outdated (bitrotted) Templates

Artist Editing Suggestions

This page is a dupe of Editing Suggestions; the extra content is not worth being moved.

91.66.137.176 23:01, 22 March 2010 (UTC) +1 BrianSchweitzer 22:28, 25 March 2010 (UTC)

Commonly Used Edit Notes

BrianSchweitzer 14:27, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Recent Style Changes

Really bitrotted; 'recent' was 4 years ago, for maybe 2 months. :D Any dates worth saving I've copied to the relevant pages, in the history sections. BrianSchweitzer 23:15, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Proposals/Composers As Release Artists For Tributes

An empty 3-year old 'temporary' redirect (that doesn't redirect) with suggestion that it only be kept around for a couple of weeks. BrianSchweitzer 23:26, 27 March 2010 (UTC)

Mailing Lists Compared To Forums

This was pretty bitrotted 2 years ago; now it's simply useless clutter. BrianSchweitzer 00:03, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Answer Me

Does anyone still use this? Iirc, dmppanda and I cleared just about anything still current out of here 3 years ago. If it's not actively used, it's an empty dead-end stub. BrianSchweitzer 00:09, 28 March 2010 (UTC)


What Defines A Unique Release History

This was created when dmppanda cleaned up and RFC'd WDAUR 2 years back. This page retained a copy of the old text in case it was needed. At this point, 2 years later, and with the original of that text stored in the history of WDAUR anyhow, there seems zero point in continuing to keep the WDAUR History page. BrianSchweitzer 01:47, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Odd Release

Almost empty, and never used. BrianSchweitzer 03:49, 29 March 2010 (UTC)

Cross-Platform Tagger

Doesn't seem like anything here is still worth hanging on to? BrianSchweitzer 08:58, 30 March 2010 (UTC)

Deleted Page

Rather unneeded now, eh? BrianSchweitzer 09:18, 30 March 2010 (UTC)
