BG^7even has nominated this page for deletion for the reason:

Because it is months out of date, and also is duplicated by Special:WantedPages which does the same thing. Thanks, BG^7even 16

Please discuss this deletion below, but keep in mind that you shouldn't vote on everything and that there may be options that are not just "keep" or "delete", such as merging.

• Special:Wantedpages has been disabled on all wikimedia wiki's for over a year now and currently serves no function as it is not being updated. The page up for RfD is manually updated based on the latest backup of the database. The most current backup (at this typing, we are getting close to trying again) is 7/24/08 - the date I used to generate this date. All attempts to back us (and pretty much every wiki) up since that date have been aborted, but the current cycle seems to be working and may lead to an update. -- Creol(talk) 16:34, 25 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
• I'd keep it for now, as it's the most recent feed we have. By the way, have we been able to file a bug to get Special:WantedPages updated every few weeks? MC8 (talk) 13:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • The devs have refused to in the past. Majorly ^talk 13:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • • Hrm. I'll go poke them on IRC. Bit of a pity if they can't. 13:07, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
• Keep Useful page, even if it is a bit out of date. Majorly ^talk 13:06, 27 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This request is due to close seven days after it was filed; that is on approx. Saturday, 1 November 2008 at 4:23 pm, although it may be closed quicker due to this.

The outcome of this request for deletion was to  Keep. - tholly ^--Talk-- 13:45, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
