This proposal follows the guidelines of Wikipedia:Criteria_for_speedy_deletion/Proposal. which include:
- This proposal will require 70 percent support ("Support" votes) to pass, as with the earlier Wikipedia:Proposal to expand WP:CSD.
- Anonymous votes will be discounted, as will votes cast by any user that had less than 50 edits when this vote started.
- The wording of this proposal will be fixed when voting has started. Please do not edit this page, but discuss changes on the talk page.
The idea[edit]
Example: MMOFPSMUD. This was tagged as a speedy, but there is no criterion covering it, so it had to be taken to AfD, where it will surely be deleted. The provided link is broken, and it gets zero Google hits, so it's definitely not notable.
The premise of this proposal is that if you would expect to see something on the Internet, but you don't, it should be deleted.
The proposal[edit]
The following shall be a criterion for speedy deletion:
Any article about a person, group, neologism, etc. that claims to be notable in some way on the Internet, yet gets zero hits on Google (or some other major Web search engine), and zero hits on Google Groups (or some other major Usenet search engine).
