The result of the discussion was mark as historical. JohnCD (talk) 18:10, 20 December 2014 (UTC)
Despite being a solid "contributor" to this namespace, I am considering deletion of this page for a couple of reasons:
- Many of the articles/pages listed are outdated, in other words they are undergoing at present little vandalism activity, therefore making the "shared watchlist" very unreliable, especially because at least some of them have been kept for several years with little vandalism activity.
- We not only have the semi-protection policy for every Wikipedia article (Example of a protected article being Harper Lee), but we have WP:Pending changes protection available at present too (Example being Fedor Emelianenko), so that any new changes can be checked by reviewers.
Both of these points are only going to confuse new vandal patrollers who haven't seen this page before, and in regards to the Counter-vandalism unit and its associates, it is only going to raise questions about the usefulness and reliability of it. Minima© (talk) 19:57, 3 December 2014 (UTC)
- Mark as historical – was once useful, but probably not so much now. Graham87 — Preceding undated comment added 12:20, 4 December 2014 (UTC)
- Mark as historical – New entries are not added to it very often per the page's Revision history, but the list will likely still function as a general guide of oft-vandalized articles. NorthAmerica1000 00:46, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
