[Foundation-l] How to get past a decision that nobody can take

2011-03-25 Thread Strainu
Hi,

I personally enjoy the independence that each project has in the
Wikimedia universe. Therefore, I've given much thought on wether I
should write this email.  Bun in the situation I will present below, I
really don't know what more can be done according to the current
policies in effect on my home wiki (ro.wikipedia). I ask your help in
finding a path to follow.

One of our users has created a page for tracking mistakes made by
other users [1], which propted protests from other users, including
myself [2]. Eventually, I asked for the deletion of the page at the
Romanian equivalent of [[WP:AFD]] on 20th of February [3]. The rules
for deleting the pages are very much the same as on en.wp (see
[[:en:WP:NotEarly]]), however the user page rules are not quite the
same as on en.wp. There is an ongoing debate on ro.wp on using en.wp
rules when missing an equivalent policy. this was used by the user who
created the page in his defense.

On ro.wp it sometimes happens that decisions on deleting pages take
much longer than a week, so I would expect a decision to be made
sometime soon. However, this request is special because all the active
sysops are either present in the page in question or were involved in
the discussions about it, so it would be unfair of them to close it.

What do you think the following steps should be? Should we call some
of the other sysops from retirement? Should we appeal to someone
from the arbcom on en.wp?

Thanks,
   Strainu

BTW, if the point is to conclude discussion in such state, you could
delegate any person outside community to do the job.

We had a somewhat similar problem recently in the Portuguese Wikipedia with
a user page paroding several users (especially administrators), that was
formatted as a blog[1][2]. Even though we have a clear policy in respect to
the use of user pages, [3][4] deletion was only possible after a second
nomination.[1] I think the only reason the second nomination was succesful
is because we had a huge crisis last December, resulting in several advices
from a Steward, including the deletion of that particular page [5]. My
advice is to get community consensus if that sort of thing is admissable on
user pages or not.
