Commons:Deletion requests/946693

Hello Jim! I didn't know, how to delete the page without a Deletion Request. -- Kleiner Stampfi (talk) 23:09, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

No problem -- I see you're pretty new here, and the learning curve can be very steep. Let me add my welcome to the machine welcome you have on your talk page -- and if you ever have any questions, don't hesitate to ask here.

In this case, it was a new Gallery page (a page without a prefix such as File:, Commons:, User:, etc.). I don't know how you came across it, but all new Gallery pages created by inexperienced users are patrolled by several Admins who delete 90% of them on sight -- vandalism, mistakes, people writing articles, and so forth. The good ones are marked as patrolled and removed from the list. So it would have been deleted within an hour or two without any action. (They work from a log at http://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3ANewPages&namespace=0&tagfilter=&username=&hidepatrolled=1 )

But, you don't need to depend on that. In a case where a page clearly needs to be deleted -- no discussion necessary -- you can use the tag {{Speedy}} rather than {{Delete}}. The {{Speedy}} tag puts the page into Category:Other speedy deletions, which is also watched by Admins and will get attention promptly. Using {{Delete}} invokes the more complicated process we use for pages that need discussion before deletion. By the way, I congratulate you for correctly doing that -- setting up the DR page, adding it to the log, and so forth -- not many beginners get it right.

Commons:Deletion policy will give you a longer and more detailed overview of the two processes.
