Draft proposal for a G5 criteria

RFC: G5 Quick Deletion criteria

Hello everyone. This is an RFC to implement a new quick deletion criteria for the deletion of pages created by blocked/banned users. This RFC is the result of a prior discussion, where the community showed interest in reinstating this criteria. Years ago, G5 used to be a QD criteria on the Simple English Wikipedia. However, it was removed in 2008, when the Wiki had fewer pages than it does today.

Other relevant discussions

• Quick Deletion Criteria: G5
• LTA page creations?
• Question
• Are we doing a good job?

Rationale

• Vandals, spammers, and LTAs who have been blocked sometimes evade their block and create pages. Sometimes, their creations do not fit any quick deletion criteria and has to be sent to RFD, which can become a burden to the community. Adding this QD criteria gives administrators more options when facing with troublesome editors.
• Deleting content created by blocked users who are evading discourages them from continuing.

Proposed criteria

Per the previous discussion, the criteria is not intended as a requirement to delete pages created by a blocked/banned user. Here are the proposed wordings:

1. Created by a blocked or banned user, who is evading their block or ban when the page was created. Note that an administrator is not required to delete every article created by a blocked or banned user who is evading their block. Any user can ask for the page to be restored at Wikipedia:Deletion review if they want to improve it.
2. Creation of a blocked or banned user. Note that an administrator is not required to delete every article created by a blocked or banned. Any user can ask for the page to be restored at Wikipedia:Deletion review if they want to improve it.
