User:Ceyockey/Notifying WikiProjects of Deletion Proposals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The purpose of this page is to collect information on the deletion notification methods used by different WikiProjects and to facilitate notification of WikiProjects of WP:PROD nominations. This relates to a discussion on Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion (permalink). To date, Wikiprojects have been added as they are encountered in CAT:PROD. The formatting on this page may change dramatically without warning as it continues to evolve.
Leading Notes
One WikiProject has been categorically excluded from this activity to date due to its broad scope: Wikipedia:WikiProject Biography. In a second case, there is an open question as to whether PROD-notification is worth the effort: Wikipedia:WikiProject Australia.[1]
In cases where multiple WikiProject banners are present multiple might be interested, the most specific one is typically used for notification; for instance, if there are tags for both WikiProject India and WikiProject Indian Literature, the latter would be notified.
Link titles below generally refer to WikiProject titles (e.g. WikiProject Hello → Hello). If a resource that holds deletion information for a WikiProject does not share the WikiProject title, this is indicated, most commonly as a trailing superscript.
Boilerplate
Discussion should go to the article (PROD)
The following useful boilerplate was composed by User:Caknuck with subsequent revision by User:Ceyockey; it was originally used on Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Baseball. Consider adding it to the PROD-deletions section of the appropriate page when extended discussion or multiple discussions ensue; this happens in only a small subset of cases.
''Rather than discussing [[WP:PROD|PROD]]-nominees here, it is better to contribute to the talk page for the article nominated for deletion. If you agree with the proposed deletion, you don't have to do anything or you may [[:Template:prod-2|second the nomination]]. If you think the article merits keeping, then remove the {{prod}} template and make an effort to improve the article so that it clearly meets the [[WP:N|notability]] and [[WP:V|verifiability]] criteria.''
No articles at present (PROD)
This is a placeholder for sections when no articles are listed as active PROD-nominees. The text shown is in commented-out form, used when there are active deletion nominations.
<!--''no articles [[WP:PROD|proposed for deletion]] at this time''-->
Archiving (PROD)
Boilerplate to accompany lists of resolved PROD-nominations.
the disposition shown indicates the outcome of the PROD, not necessarily the ultimate fate of the article
Group notifications (AFD)
Each Deletion Sorting page has a boilerplate bit that refers people to the page and notified topic group which is appended to an on-going AFD. There are more non-DelSort notification pathways than DelSort pages, as evidenced below. The following boilerplate might be used in those cases; this boilerplate is not complete and there are many variations that need to be considered.

WikiProjects using Deletion Sorting
Rejections: Don't put PROD with other deletion types
- Australia:[1] This objection is based on a technical issue. There is a bot that populates the Australians Notice Board which operation is compromised by inclusion of a PROD section on the DelSort page. A discussion is ongoing about whether PROD notification is at all useful to the WikiProject or not.
WikiProject using a Project-specific Deletions page
Main WikiProject page used
In these cases, some deletion-related list appears on the main page of the WikiProject. Most of the links here are to the specific section on the main page that contains the notices. Instances where entries appear on the main page via transclusion from another page are not included here.
- C: Chess — Chicago — Czech Republic
- L: Lighthouses
- M: Macintosh
- R: Rock music
- S: Spirituality
- T: Technology — Tennessee
WikiProjects using WikiProject talk
The following either do not appear to have a deletion discussion forum other than the main WikiProject talk page or specifically direct PROD notifications to the WikiProject Talk page. Posts to pages in the Talk domain should be signed usually; SineBot will sometimes sign postings that you have failed to sign in the Talk domain.

Fully Automated Solutions
There are a small number of WikiProjects that have pursued fully automated solutions to alerting members of events related to articles. It is generally desirable to automate the notification process because this frees editors from some types of time-consuming surveillance activities.
