Deletions?
How does one propose a page for deletion? I stumbled on LSL Teacher which seemed to be a part-advertisement part-forum-thread type thing that shouldn't be here. In the meantime, I just blanked it. Celierra Darling 19:17, 10 February 2007 (PST)
- Leave a message on User talk:Rob Linden.
- However, if you read User talk:Rob Linden#Pseudo-Deletion Policy and User talk:SignpostMarv Martin#Thanks.21.2Fre: redirects, you'll notice that Linden Lab won't generally delete anything unless it creates a problem for them (see User talk:SignpostMarv Martin#LL:Second Life Terms of Service)- although I would imagine if the content violates the TOS/CS, then the page will likely be deleted.
- In this case however, I think I've taken the most appropriate action; I've updated Template:visl to include an "LSL" parameter, which will list the user under LSL Mentors, and setup a redirect from LSL Teacher to the new category.

- A redirect is the exact right way of handling the situation, since redirects are cheap and easy to do. -- Rob Linden 22:10, 11 February 2007 (PST)
- LSL Teacher should not have been blanked or redirected without discussion on it either on that page or in the LSL Portal talk page. The page as it was origionally had content on it that was appropriate as it did list people who were available to teach LSL. A teacher is not the same as a Mentor, and yes they may charge for their services. There was one line on the origional page that should have been removed, as it was someone asking for help. Not everyone who would be listed on that list would have a wiki account or would even know about whatever your Template:visl is Thraxis Epsilon 16:07, 12 February 2007 (PST)
- It was being used as a talk page.
- It was being used as a billboard.
- Articles are not talk pages, and content specific to a Resident should be listed in their own page. (see Resident's own pages in Resident's own user-spaces for the basic gist of my opinion on the matter)
- There is nothing preventing Residents from creating their SL Wiki account- all they need to do is log in.
- Inclusion of the LSL Mentor category in Template:visl is only a short term measure
- Categories are easier to maintain than lists.
- Help talk:Getting_started_with_LSL would be the best place to ask for help that isn't direct to a particular person.
- Any further questions ?

sysop lock
Any chance the sysop lock on the article could temporarily be lifted, or have a sysadmin add the trailing "]" to the link in Editing Guidelines#Templates ?
