*Like NinjaSheik pointed out, there's a page for requesting deletions, and when someone tags something for deletion and adds it to that page, it's usually taken care of within 24 hours. | *Like NinjaSheik pointed out, there's a page for requesting deletions, and when someone tags something for deletion and adds it to that page, it's usually taken care of within 24 hours. | ||
*For the moving files and moving without leaving redirects, I agree with giving these powers to regular users. However, instead of promoting everyone to a new rank, why don't we just add those tools to the regular user usergroup, so everyone will be able to do it, without the need for promoting everyone. (The chances of vandalism of this is pretty low, as we don't get a lot of vandals in the first place, and if someone intends to vandalize by moving things, they can already move pages.)}} | *For the moving files and moving without leaving redirects, I agree with giving these powers to regular users.

{{KrytenKoro|"It generally will get dealt with in 24 hours" is not a good argument, though. You're foisting more responsibility for maintaining a large amount of articles on a small group of editors ''who would very much like to be making more substantive contributions to the project''. Honestly? Other admins might be monitoring the deletion request page, but I think I've looked at it maybe three times while I've been on this project. | |||
I really need a good reason why we think we ''can't trust'' our fellow editors to use fairly simple tools. This isn't a FREEDOOOOM!!1! issue, I won't go down that path, but so far I've been seeing arguments why it's ''acceptable'' to restrict these tools, not why it's ''better''. | |||
"And what's to stop someone else from locking out ''other admins''?" | |||
