WP:EFDRV redirects here. However there is no appeal of editor deletion, but you can come back as a zombie if you want to.
User:R's EfD deleted?
Yes, it was deleted. And after talking with some other editors, I came to the conclusion that the concept was great, but it was abused. My version is different in that there are listed rules and warnings, which cut the funneh to a point, but still, it should yield equally amusing debates. I'll also be monitoring the page daily. If anything is posted outside of policy, it will be removed and the editor will be appropriately warned and, if warranted, blocked. I don't foresee many issues. However, should it get out of hand as it did on User:R's page, I'd be willing to delete it all myself.
Please post any questions you may have about it here or my talk page. Also feel free to tweak it. Although, I may tweak your tweak. ;) It's all in good fun, that's what everyone must remember. It's a break from the "work" to share some humor, have a good laugh, and maybe get to know some more editors in the community. Lara❤Love 07:25, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Too stuck-up
This is a humor page, isn't it? Therefore there shouldn't be any actual guidelines. I think R's version was better. This one's...boring. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 01:48, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

- I don't intend to Myspace. It's just that I'm a Wiki-Gnome and I like to discuss my changes before I make them, that's all. --Gp75motorsports REV LIMITER 03:19, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
- I removed you from the list. If you want to participate, good times, if not, then that's fine too. R's may have been better, but your buddy got it deleted, so you're stuck with this now. Lara❤Love 08:53, 16 December 2007 (UTC)

What is the best day to nominate Jimbo Wales?
He's not here so I guess it's okay to nominate him. I'm just wondering if there's any day better than March 32nd to do it? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 03:27, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Darn! I was thinking of doing that. ;P I can't think of anything wrong with the idea right now...but the vandalism
mightwill spike. If it gets too bad, we might need this page semi-ed. —La Pianista (T•C) 04:11, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
There have already been two attempted EFDs of Jimbo, both of which I've rejected. He's now added to the opt out list, please do not nominate him. Thanks. GlassCobra 04:19, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- Aw, you're no fun any more. I was all ready to nominate Jimbo for deletion, due to low notability outside the Wikimeida projectspace. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 16:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)
- OK, no Jimbo, but do you know of anyone "high ranking," such as an arb, foundation member, legal advisor, etc. who would be willing to be nominated for deletion on April 1? This would be a fun way to do "April Fools" without disrupting the encyclopedia itself. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:19, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- Casliber is a new Arbcom member and he's curently up. —Cyclonenim (talk · contribs · email) 07:56, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I'm currently up for deletion, and I was already deleted once last year (when the page was in R's userspace). That makes me either a good sport, or very unpopular among this group of users. :) Newyorkbrad (talk) 02:02, 7 January 2009 (UTC)
- This is awfully confusing. Who restored Brad? Enigmamsg 02:53, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Suggested addition
Suggested addition:
Do not nominate anyone unless you are reasonably sure they will accept the nomination. If you are nominating someone you do not know well, please avoid embarrassing yourself and ask them if they will accept the nomination before nominating them.

- Good idea. This has been added to the "Criteria for editor deletion" section. GlassCobra 15:57, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
Question
Where is EFDRV? Sam Blab 22:24, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- When this page was in R's userspace, I was deleted, took the deletion to DRV, and got myself undeleted. Of course, I was the closing administrator on my own DRV, which would probably be a COI anywhere else in the project, but hey, EFD is special. :) Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:01, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- No, where :P I intend to try and reverse my deletion. Sam Blab 23:17, 6 January 2009 (UTC)
- I think I just opened a new thread on the EFD page. EFD, whatever its other attributes, has the virtue of being non-bureaucratic (as well as non-binding). Newyorkbrad (talk) 23:22, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

New EFD template
GlassCobra, feel free to move this to a subset of this page. User:Davidwr/Templates/Editor for deletion.
It looks like this:
It uses {{BASEPAGENAME}} so it looks good on any user's talk page or sub-page.
Frankly, I like commons:File:Death.jpg better but the file is obscured by en:File:Death.jpg. I'm taking steps to remedy that. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 23:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
- Meh. I'm not in love with it. You can keep it for yourself if you like, but I don't think I'll move it to my userspace. Thanks though. GlassCobra 01:59, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
What's the minimum delay between nominations?
I see a nomination has been removed because the editor was nominated last October. Assuming the new nomination is with the permission of the nominee, what's the minimum time between nominations? If it's not set yet, I'd recommend make it somewhere between 1 month and a year. 3.141... months sounds like a good round number but it makes me hungry, 2.718... months seems more natural. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 01:18, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
42......minutes. SimonKSK 01:44, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- Actually, I was being serious. I know, that's sacrilege in these here parts. davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 19:29, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
- WARNING: SERIOUS COMMENT I think six months is a good waiting time. I personally would love getting re-deleted, but I don't mind the wait. END SERIOUS COMMENT I'd like to come back from the dead. ;P —La Pianista (T•C) 04:55, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

- Editors may not be nominated more than once, period. This is for two reasons: to keep an influx of new editors coming in and make things fresh and interesting, and to discourage excessive clique-ishness and Myspacing. No one should be spending so much time around here that they should be nominated more than once. This is also why there is no EFDRV (aside from the fact that it's rather stupid). I know that this is fun, guys, but the encyclopedia comes first. GlassCobra 01:52, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
April Fool's, redux
As a followup to the Jimbo thread above, why not nominate User:Larry Sanger on April 1? That would be pretty funny, especially if you can tie in the co-founder thing in the nomination. GlassCobra 02:24, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support nuke of Larry. —La Pianista (T•C) 02:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Conditional support but ask him nicely first. I don't want to see him object and have EFD shut down. While you are at it, ask Jimbo if he's willing to take part in a double suicide. Self-noms from both parties would be a major plus. Heck, I'd even donate a buck each to the Foundation and to Citizendium for the privilege of commenting in a joint EFD. You think they would both join the WP:100 club? davidwr/(talk)/(contribs)/(e-mail) 02:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Speedy close as redundant. I think that from most of the official histories, Larry has pretty much been deleted already. Newyorkbrad (talk) 03:05, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Support per WP:WTHN. Wouldn't this be...interesting (to say the least)? —Ed 17 (Talk / Contribs) 20:40, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Unclear closing

- Haiku closes default to delete, Brad. :P GlassCobra 06:26, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
- Mwahahaha. Unclear closing, eh? SimonKSK 20:33, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
