Forums: Index > Watercooler > How long do we wait to delete?
Some pages have been marked for "speedy deletion" for months. I deleted three because the reason seemed obvious, but I held back on others.
Is there a time frame where it's safe to say "no one has commented on the deletion tag and there are no links, so I don't need to worry whether anyone cares any more"? Is two months conservative enough? Argadi 15:42, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
- While not prepared to comment on the general issue, since Zarchne completed the task of changing all uses of the old TV Tropes template to the new one, I took the one remaining reference - in the forum discussion on the template - and turned it into a non-link so that the page would not appear as a wanted page, and deleted it immediately so that no one would, by accident, use that template instead of the right one and create more conversion work. --Quadibloc 16:53, 17 March 2009 (UTC)
