Well, showing up on wikia is one thing, that should be easy, to fix, and
even after the fact we can update the wikia and remove articles, there are
not so many of them.
we need a list of categories that can be archived or not. John you are
saying WP:BLP1E should be excluded? is there a specific tag or text to look
for?
What about a simple tag or category like "bin it!".
thanks,
mike

I think we need to ensure that BLP deletions are
tagged appropriately.
and this wikia needs to err on the side of caution in order to avoid
causing subjects further grief in their pursuit to remove problematic
content from Wikipedia. i.e. if someone jumps through all the hoops
to *help* us remove problematic content from Wikipedia, they are not
going to be happy to learn that the same content has appeared on Wikia
- its confusing, and they will blame Wikipedia, and IMO they are right
to do so as this Wikia is run by people in the Wikimedia community,
and due to the overlap in the WMF board and Wikia board, now and
historically.
e.g. this AFD mentioned "WP:BLP1E" and was categorised into "AfD
debates (Biographical)"

Until we are confident that BLP problems are not being imported into
the wikia, the content shouldnt be indexed. I assume __NOINDEX__
works on Wikia?

Although I can understand the appeal of this
concept, I am concerned
that a deleted-articles wiki or site will perpetuate the publicity
given to pages that are properly deleted from Wikipedia because they
contain offensive personal attacks, harassment, cyberbullying,
defamation, and BLP violations. These are not always flagged in the
deletion grounds, especially in speedy situations (e.g. if a harassing
or defamatory article does not assert the subject's notability, it
will often be deleted on that ground without its being tagged as an
attack page, etc.). This issue strikes me as extremely serious. How do
you plan to address it?
