will get a snapshot every 30
minutes of the items that are categorized.
the wikia right now will not be updated: There is not any code for the
updating of the article, once it is in the wikia.
I would be interesting to get the full history of each article, if it is
replaced after deletion, i suppose that a new page or subpage would be
needed if it is deleted again, maybe a fine history would be good enough.
In any case if articles last more than 30 minutes in the speedy deletion
category they will be archived.

retaining
the second category in a publicly-viewable (and

I am willing to delete articles from the wikia, they are also archived on
archive.org.
it would be nice to work out a detailed tagging system to work out what
may
be archived and what not.
We can remove categories and add them.
But lets look at some of these,
http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Ipod_5.5_generation this looks like
someone who is providing infomation in the wrong way, but could be valid.
http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Trantlers this is funny and would
like
to keep it and add a picture of it, maybe to a humor section. this one
too
might
be some meme or urban legend. I guess
unencylopedia.
http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Like_Dis_Like_Dat same here, this
is
also unencylopedia material.
now this looks like a hoax , and could be deleted, but also unencylopedia
stuff.
http://speedydeletion.wikia.com/wiki/Aman_hadid
personally I am interested in non notable articles, my experience with
dealing with encouraging editors and collection creative commons licensed
information
on places that are not very notable like villages in kosovo could be
helped
with these articles.
if we can find authors who are willing to write about non notable topics,
maybe we can collect them and categorize them.
this could be a recruiting mechanism and also provide good basic data and
maybe new contributors for wikitravel and openstreetmap.
with a staging system like this speedydeletion wikia you will have a way
to
demote articles to the speedy deletion purgatory
where they might redeem
themselves.
