Hello,
To help cleaning the small wikis, people from the Small wikis monitoring team have thought about asking people from all projects to create a redirect from [[Template:Delete]] to the local speedy deletion template. The major wikis have already set this redirect, but it would be very useful on small projects where sysops don't come very often. Thus they could check the linked pages/the related category and deal with the pages containing nonsense or pages remaining after move vandalism.
Please help spreading this request on your projects and forward this message to people I've forgotten (I haven't found any mailing list for wikiquote, for example). Thanks a lot.

Hello,
While the English Wikisource may be smaller, we currently do not suffer from a lack of sysops. [[Template:delete]] is our consensus deletion template and [[Template:sdelete]] is our speedy deletion template. I do not see a major need for change.

Hi. SUPPORT.
It is nice to hear that you have no lack of sysops. But there are many projects, not only Wikisources, but also Wikipedias, who have problems; even there are some ones whre there is no sysop at all (this should be forbidden, btw). Remember what happened on the Breton Wikipedia some 2 weeks ago - a robot deleted simply the whole Wikipedia and nobody could stop him for a longer time.
So I do see a need to unify the question with templates for delete. There are many many users just looking somewhere and they find many vandalistic edits. It should be possible to post a delete template there withour knowing the language properly. It is a good idea and it should be made in any case.
