The deletion review is a discussion board for determining whether a page should be deleted or not. Articles are here for seven days, and depending on a rough consensus of the community, pages are then merged, redirected, kept, renamed, userfied, or deleted. Keep in mind that this is also the most complicated processes, and articles that are generally uncontroversial should be proposed on one of the two simpler processes: UESPWiki:Proposed Deletion or UESPWiki:Speedy Deletion.
The candidates for deletion can be found at Category:Deletion Review, and the active discussions about them can be found on the bottom of this page.
Voting on DiscussionsEdit
Prior to giving your opinion on a discussion, please review the Deletion Review etiquette described below:
- The debates held here are not concluded by plebiscite or poll. You should state your recommendations regarding the course of action to be taken and support them with an argument.
- Always review the entire article prior to casting your vote, and do not rely solely on the points the nominator for deletion has brought forth.
- Review the earlier comments and recommendations, as they contain relevant arguments and important information.
- Begin your comments or recommendations on a new bulleted line, and sign them with four tildes (~~~~). When responding to another editor, place your comments below theirs and indent as necessary.
- Editors should indicate their recommended course of action at the beginning of their statement and in bold text. For example, Keep or Delete. The word in bold should clearly state what your intentions are so that the administrator reviewing the discussion can quickly determine such. Some examples of words used to indicate a recommended course of action are as follows:
- Keep – The article should remain undeleted.
- Delete – That article should be deleted.
- Neutral – You do not wish to vote at this time, but are simply giving input on the discussion.
- Userfy – Instead of deletion, you wish for the page to be moved as a sub page to the creator's user page. (ex. User:Example/Userfied_Page)
- Redirect – The page should be replaced by a redirect to another page.
- Merge and redirect – All useful content should be moved onto another page, and the page should be turned into a redirect.
- State whether or not you are one of the primary authors of the article, or if you created the original article.
- Make only one recommendation to a discussion. If you change your mind at a later time, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The preferred method of doing this is to strike through your original comments using <s> and </s> tags, signature included, and adding your new opinion immediately afterwards. (ex.
KeepDelete)

Current NominationsEdit
The current time is 06:02, 8 December 2024. Purge this page if the nominations haven't updated.
Oblivion:WortcraftEdit
This page should be merged and redirected to Oblivion:Ingredients. The page contents are slim and do not stack up to the wealth of information contained in each of the other Oblivion:Hints pages. The title is also misleading, in that it sounds like an actual skill that can be raised in Oblivion, to which it is not. --FakeSmarts (talk) 07:04, 7 October 2024 (UTC)
- Oppose: This is a game mechanic and requires its own page. Oblivion:Ingredients is about the items, and Oblivion:Hints is not a substitute for technical documentation of mechanics. I'm also unsure why you're bringing this straight to deletion review without any prior discussion on the page. —Legoless (talk) 08:34, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
-
- This is not a major game mechanic, and is most useful to be aware of when viewing item details in Oblivion:Ingredients. I don't understand your response regarding Oblivion:Hints, my intention was to clarify that every other page in that category has lots of more valuable information than the current state of Oblivion:Wortcraft. Also, I was not expecting there to be opposition to the page's merge/redirect. —FakeSmarts (talk) 11:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
-
-
- The fact that it isn't a major gameplay mechanic is even more reason to have a dedicated page explaining to players what it is exactly. The mechanic is visible in-game under the Active Effects section of your journal (see screenshot), and for the uninitiated this may be a confusing effect to see listed there. I'd also like to point out that the info currently on this page was split off from Oblivion:Sleeping and Eating (now simply Oblivion:Sleeping), which is an article that had been around since 2006 and demonstrates a need to document the action of eating ingredients directly as a gameplay mechanic. As per the UI, "Wortcraft" (and not Eating) is the natural article title for capturing this information. Again, Oblivion:Ingredients is an item page and should be focused on the ingredient items themselves; compare Oblivion:Weapons and Oblivion:Combat. —Legoless (talk) 12:37, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
-
- Oppose: Per Fundaments of Alchemy, Wortcraft is the proper name of the mechanic. The page is a little short but I would rather assert that we should expand it, not delete/shrink it. The Rim of the Sky (talk) 18:47, 11 October 2024 (UTC)
-
- Any useful statements about eating ingredients would be most useful within a subsection of Oblivion:Ingredients, and not a separate page. The subsection would then be referenced in relevant pages such as Oblivion:Alchemy or Oblivion:Poison. —FakeSmarts (talk) 11:18, 14 October 2024 (UTC)
