I choose not to follow this policy as I consider it unnecessary extra work, but I don't mind if others add the boilerplate notice. (We already bend over backwards to inform newbies whenever they make a mistake.) Just don't remove pages I add to VfD or reset the timer because of the missing boilerplate.
Regards,
Erik
I agree. Not only is it extra work, but it makes the article show up in the article count, whereas in a blank page wouldn't. And a notice like that discourages people from replacing it with new content. When I encounter a graffiti page, I don't put a boilerplate text there and add it to votes for deletion. Instead, I replace it with a 2 or 3 sentence stub. This usually takes the same, if not less, and it makes a lot less work for others who patrol votes for deletion all the time. Every topic deserves an article, so why delete it? LDan
