RFV discussion: October–December 2022

 * If it's used on other wikis, would it count? There are a lot of sites, even small ones, that closely follow our model and I would imagine that some of them have a distinct delete template because they have vandalism problems just like us and need to get rid of things in a hurry sometimes. — Soap — 21:23, 4 October 2022 (UTC)
 * FWIW the Lord of the Rings Fandom uses "speedy deleted" and "speedily deleted" and the Star Wars Fandom uses "speedy-deleted". - excarnateSojourner (talk | contrib) 01:44, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Delete: even if it’s attestable outside Mediawiki, it’s SoP. — Sgconlaw (talk) 05:18, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * Does the fact that it's adjective + verb affect things at all? The grammatically expected form would be adverb + verb, like "speedily delete". (Both are attestable.) 98.170.164.88 05:37, 5 October 2022 (UTC)
 * That is a good point, and means it probably passes WT:ONCE. Plus, it's also not immediately obvious what this is supposed to refer to without contextual knowledge, so it passes WT:LIGHTBULB, and its restriction to wikis and reliance on the existence of a standard deletion process means it passes WT:PRIOR too.

 * This may have cites on Google Books surprisingly. The issue of whether or not it's SoP, however, is for WT:RFDE. AG202 (talk) 14:34, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
 * I've added two more published citations to the existing one for the full complement, though in both of them I've treated the vote "speedy delete" as an imperative, which is how I understand it syntactically. Per TKW and 98.x I don't agree that it's SOP, "speedy" is not used as an adverb outside of wiki jargon. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 13:48, 5 December 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. Now well sourced and not really SOP as already explained by other commenters. --Overlordnat1 (talk) 14:31, 5 December 2022 (UTC)


 * RFV-passed. If there are still SOP concerns they should probably be addressed at RFD. —Al-Muqanna المقنع (talk) 00:52, 22 December 2022 (UTC)
