[Wikimedia-l] speedydeletion.wika.com lauched

[Mike Dupont]

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
