There are some pages that were mostly started out of frustration of on particular user not any more active in this wiki. The problem with diverging pages about the same topic is that linking to it tends to break or at least dissipate the consistency of the entire wiki. As normally would be the case with pages targeting the same topic but created by chance, the content should be merged into the (mostly obvious) main page. If there is noting valuable on it, the pages should be deleted. The pages are currently in the [[:Category:Alternative pages]]. For discussing deletion etc, we should refrain from doing that on the respective discussion pages, because deletion will remove these as well. We'd better open an own page for discussion deletion. | There are some pages that were mostly started out of frustration of on particular user not any more active in this wiki.

: I took a look at these. The edo pages are a relic of a discussion on facebook about the proper format for edo pages. Sort of useful. I suggest deleting all but the 15edo-a page and Gareth's page. The 94-edo page might have some good stuff, but since it's 94edo and 15edo jumbled together, it's also really confusing. This is what I suggest, but I don't feel I have the authority to actually delete someone's page. --[[User:TallKite|TallKite]] ([[User talk:TallKite|talk]]) 03:05, 12 January 2021 (UTC) | : I took a look at these.

: Mostly done, only [[User:Lhearne/15edo]] left, and since it's in the user namespace, it's not as problematic. Still waiting for a reply from Lillian, I might give a poke on Discord. [[User:Fredg999|Fredg999]] ([[User talk:Fredg999|talk]]) 07:51, 26 July 2023 (UTC) | |||

Sometimes it's not easy to decide if a page should be deleted or not, it has to be discussed first. The problem with discussing deletion requests on the discussion page of the page being questioned is that they both have the same future. If the deletion happens, normal users have no access to the reasoning any more. Most wikis use an extra page for this purpose. | Sometimes it's not easy to decide if a page should be deleted or not, it has to be discussed first.

: Wikipedia needs to handle a lot of page deletions, and in particular a lot of page deletion discussions. For more modest needs like ours, maybe we could create the talk page of [[:Category:Pages nominated for deletion]] (therefore [[:Category talk:Pages nominated for deletion]]) and create a topic per request on that page. If the page has a long backlog over time, we can create archive pages to avoid cluttering the active page too much.
