Question 4.10[edit]
Which of the following best describes your approach to CSD:
Survey Results[edit]
| rationale | Count | Percent |
|---|---|---|
| Strong Inclusionist | 7 | 11.3 |
| Weak Inclusionist | 19 | 30.6 |
| Weak Deletionist | 24 | 38.7 |
| Strong Deletionist | 12 | 19.4 |
- Rather err for retention. However, low tolerance for vandalism: "creating nonsensical and *obviously* non-encyclopedic pages"
- Neither, since inclusionism or deletionism doesn't/mustn't apply at speedy deletion.
- In general, I am a deletionist, but I believe that CSDs should be used very sparingly so that the community has a chance to weigh in (and possibly override my deletionist tendencies). Therefore I tend to be more of a weak inclusionist when doing CSDs.
- Placing everyone in neat pigeonholes, how nice. I note there is NO 'Other' option.
- I don't really consider myself an inclusionist or deletionist, I just believe the CSD criteria should be strictly adhered to.
- Bang in the middle - strongly ound by the criteria - I hope!
- Neither. I try to abide by policies and consensus, which by definition neither inclusionists or deletionists do.
- If it can be rescued then I will try to make it in to at least a stub however I am less of an inclusionist at CSD than I am in other areas.
- I will almost always given the benefit of the doubt and do my own research.
- Not my general philosophy, only CSD; prefer to be more conservative on CSDs.
- CSD is a set of quite explicit rules. if it doesn't fit the type, it's unlikely it should be CSDed. note answer to #9
- The fact remains that there is a ton of crap created everyday. We need to be cautious about what we delete and AGF, but at the same time we need to eliminate as efficiently as possible.
- I am generally an inclusionist for AFDs, but CSD must be expanded. We are wasting our time with giving total garbage a chance.
- Inclusionist but with a very strong preference for merging (I think you've worked out who I am from that…)
- my deletionist tendencies get stronger the bigger the backlog gets...
- Inclusionism is good, but all things considered we need to filter out most of the crap we get.
- Strong encyclopedist - if it's encyclopedic, include it, if it's clearly not, delete it, if it's marginal, discuss it. CSD only applies to "clearly not."
- CSD is for the most blatantly obvious deletions only.
- No strong feeling either way; I'd say I lean deletionist just because I know how much utter garbage gets created. But I always give every nominaton a fair shake.
- Absurd. I chose the fourth answer after actually playing eeny meeny miney moe, because the survey requires an answer. There are no deletionists or inclusionists.
Balloonman's Analysis[edit]
Self explanatory, but was interesting to see where people come from when answer these questions. Most people identified themselves on the deletionistic side of things.
