I think this is a good idea. It's confusing having to look at both the talk page for an article and at the other page to determine what should or shouldn't be deleted.

Agreed. However, there does need to be a page somewhere (I'm not sure if there is) listing what makes an article of deletion quality. It could be as specific or as non-specific as wanted. --[[User:Sky2042|Sky]] ([[User talk:Sky2042|t]] · [[Special:Contributions/Sky2042|c]] · [[ | Agreed.

:Sounds fair to me. Even I'm guillty of not telling the complete story when tagging things for deletion, but to put the onus of starting a discussion on the "tagger" is probably a good idea. I still feel that there's obviously some room for discretion (i.e. we don't need to open a discussion and reach consensus to delete an article on '''MuppetSmasher's Infinite Team Super Sudden Death Falcon Punch Combo''') but I suppose that's what "speedy deletion" is for. --<font color="000023">'''[[User:Randall00|RJM]]'''</font> <sup>''[[User talk:Randall00|Talk]]''</sup> 14:07, 20 August 2008 (UTC) | :Sounds fair to me.

==Change "article" to "page"?== | |||
Something that keeps bugging me about this and [[Template:Speedy Delete|the speedy deletion template]] is the fact that if you put it on a user page it will say "This '''article''' is being considered for deletion" blah blah blah. But....user pages aren't articles lol (or are they?). Yeah I know extremely minor nitpick that you'll almost never care about especially since for the most part any user page that gets tagged for deletion usually gets through (I think there's only been [[SmashWiki:Administrators' noticeboard/Archive 3#Userpage deletion|one time]] it didn't), but I think it would be better if the <code>#default</code> text is changed from "article" to "page" which would be an acceptable catchall for stuff in the mainspace as well. Thoughts? - [[User:EndGenuity|EndGenuity]] ([[User talk:EndGenuity|talk]]) 03:34, 10 July 2017 (EDT) | |||
:I'm against it, generally because calling any article that's not a userpage a "page" is generally a pretty big pet peeve of mine. It sounds less professional than "article" overall to me. Plus, changing a template for just one part of SmashWiki seems pretty over-dramatic, if you ask me.
