Wikipedia talk:VfD renomination limits

message: I assume the basic principles will be copied over:
   1. Remove the listing from VfD
   2. Untag the article
   3. Inform the nominator of this policy

replies: text: Yes. I did not want to include basic principles yet, since I want to see if there is even consensus on this idea, yet. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 05:37, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: First talk

message: I changed the policy to read one month, instead of three, because some said 3 months is too long. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:45, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The page should be named Wikipedia:VfD renomination limits (currently a redir to this page). I think that is a better name since it is open to suggestions instead of narrowing it down to one limit alone. I'd say that it is urgent to do so, before we end up having multiple pages named Three month VfD policy. Two month VfD policy, Six weeks VfD policy, and many other possibilities.

replies: text: I would copy-paste it but that's not usually allowed as a way to move things, because of the GFDL. Does it apply in Wikipedia: space? We can't just use the move button because the other page has a history. Does an admin fancy doing a nice complicated move and history-merge for us?-Splash 00:21, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: That sounds better, thanks Nabla. What I will do is ask for the admins to speedy delete the new page, then just move this one. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 00:29, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

message: In keeping with my suggestion on Wikipedia talk:Kick the ass of anyone who renominates GNAA for deletion before 2007, I think this page should be redirected to Wikipedia:Deletion policy, which now contains general guidance against repeated nominations. That should be sufficient to deal with the issue. --Michael Snow 20:52, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine by me. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 20:54, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

text: Uh, can I raise an objection to that? We were, slowly, discussing a fairly distinct policy on this page (the actual page). I think that discussion should be allowed to run a bit. We can move it to the other talk page if you like, so long as the current project-page here is copy-pasted, but I think that's not too necessary. -Splash 21:05, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, sure, you can always object to whatever happens here. We can continue the discussion, but if everyone who voted here wants to visit the policy page and see what is already established there. Zscout370 (Sound Off) 21:30, 21 July 2005 (UTC)

text: Feel free to review the changes I made to the deletion policy. I'm suggesting that the proposed policy here is an unnecessary overreaction to an extreme set of circumstances. There's no hurry and the discussion can be allowed to run if you prefer, but I'm confident that this will not be adopted as policy because many people will reject it as instruction creep. The redirect would save people from wasting their time. --Michael Snow 22:11, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
