| Strong Deletionist | 12 | 19.4 |
- Rather err for retention. However, low tolerance for vandalism: "creating nonsensical and *obviously* non-encyclopedic pages"
- Neither, since inclusionism or deletionism doesn't/mustn't apply at speedy deletion.
- In general, I am a deletionist, but I believe that CSDs should be used very sparingly so that the community has a chance to weigh in (and possibly override my deletionist tendencies). Therefore I tend to be more of a weak inclusionist when doing CSDs.
- Placing everyone in neat pigeonholes, how nice. I note there is NO 'Other' option.
- I don't really consider myself an inclusionist or deletionist, I just believe the CSD criteria should be strictly adhered to.
- Bang in the middle - strongly ound by the criteria - I hope!
- Neither. I try to abide by policies and consensus, which by definition neither inclusionists or deletionists do.
- If it can be rescued then I will try to make it in to at least a stub however I am less of an inclusionist at CSD than I am in other areas.
- I will almost always given the benefit of the doubt and do my own research.
- Not my general philosophy, only CSD; prefer to be more conservative on CSDs.
- CSD is a set of quite explicit rules. if it doesn't fit the type, it's unlikely it should be CSDed. note answer to #9
- The fact remains that there is a ton of crap created everyday. We need to be cautious about what we delete and AGF, but at the same time we need to eliminate as efficiently as possible.
- I am generally an inclusionist for AFDs, but CSD must be expanded. We are wasting our time with giving total garbage a chance.
- Inclusionist but with a very strong preference for merging (I think you've worked out who I am from that…)
- my deletionist tendencies get stronger the bigger the backlog gets...
- Inclusionism is good, but all things considered we need to filter out most of the crap we get.
- Strong encyclopedist - if it's encyclopedic, include it, if it's clearly not, delete it, if it's marginal, discuss it. CSD only applies to "clearly not."
- CSD is for the most blatantly obvious deletions only.
- No strong feeling either way; I'd say I lean deletionist just because I know how much utter garbage gets created. But I always give every nominaton a fair shake.
- Absurd. I chose the fourth answer after actually playing eeny meeny miney moe, because the survey requires an answer. There are no deletionists or inclusionists.
Balloonman's Analysis
editSelf explanatory, but was interesting to see where people come from when answer these questions. Most people identified themselves on the deletionistic side of things.
