speedy delete

Probably not attestable outside our little world GreyishWorm (talk) 22:57, 3 October 2022 (UTC)

If it's used on other wikis, would it count? There are a lot of sites, even small ones, that closely follow our model and I would imagine that some of them have a distinct {{delete}} template because they have vandalism problems just like us and need to get rid of things in a hurry sometimes. —Soap— 21:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)

FWIW the Lord of the Rings Fandom uses "speedy deleted" and "speedily deleted" and the Star Wars Fandom uses "speedy-deleted". - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 01:44, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Delete: even if it’s attestable outside Mediawiki, it’s SoP. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

Does the fact that it's adjective + verb affect things at all? The grammatically expected form would be adverb + verb, like "speedily delete". (Both are attestable.) 98.170.164.88 05:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)

That is a good point, and means it probably passes WT:ONCE. Plus, it's also not immediately obvious what this is supposed to refer to without contextual knowledge, so it passes WT:LIGHTBULB, and its restriction to wikis and reliance on the existence of a standard deletion process means it passes WT:PRIOR too.

This may have cites on Google Books surprisingly. The issue of whether or not it's SoP, however, is for WT:RFDE. AG202 (talk) 14:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)

I've added two more published citations to the existing one for the full complement, though in both of them I've treated the vote "speedy delete" as an imperative, which is how I understand it syntactically. Per TKW and 98.x I don't agree that it's SOP, "speedy" is not used as an adverb outside of wiki jargon. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 13:48, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

Keep. Now well sourced and not really SOP as already explained by other commenters. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 14:31, 5 December 2022 (UTC)

RFV-passed. If there are still SOP concerns they should probably be addressed at RFD. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 00:52, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
