- Oppose because sysops sometimes make erroneous deletions, and we don't want such deletions to be erroneously marked. However, I would be OK if the bot were run for this task in a semi-automated fashion where admins request that it be run after verifying that all deletions were correct.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:44, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- ??? If a sysop makes a bad deletion, they're still going to mark it as Deleted... Legoktm (talk) 19:46, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Which is what I don't want, especially given our current rate of archival.--Jasper Deng (talk) 19:47, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- This is a more general problem. The result would be the same, with or without bot. See what Legoktm wrote. I also think we have to trust the administrators that their deletions are correct. --Bene* talk 19:52, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment Please review my proposal: it would be unnecessary to mark RfDs as 'done'. --Ricordisamoa 20:50, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I really like Ricordisamoa's proposal but until then, BeneBot* would be quite helpful. As a regular RFD admin I like the idea of marking sections as done automatically. One gets far less edit conflicts while marking own sections as deleted. Thus, RFDs can be processed faster and more effective. Regards, Vogone talk 20:57, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment In my mind, the bot should only be signing for a user if forget to sign. For example, the bot would only edit if the deleting admin hadn't marked the page as deleted. (this of course would mean the bot would wait 10 minutes or so). An admin should also be able to opt-out from the bot. -- Cheers, Riley Huntley 21:21, 7 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I liked the auto-sign script, but I thought it moved entirely too fast. I completed a deletion and edit conflicted the bot to sign my name because I had not forgotten. If it waits a certain amount of time, I'd be fine to approve it. Regards, — Moe Epsilon 18:06, 10 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment How about this, don't set a section as deleted the moment it is so, instead load the page every 5 mins. If there are any requests that have been deleted over 5 mins ago but the section is not marked as deleted on the page the bot then puts deleted? ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 11:46, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- OK for me. --Ricordisamoa 11:51, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment I could also create an optin list where admins can register and only their deletions will be marked. Would you be ok with this option? -- Bene* talk 18:55, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- OK for me. --Ricordisamoa 19:33, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Do you want to do some trial edits but only for when I delete things? So as not to surprise anyone at this stage :) (of course feel free to let anyone else opt in) :) ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 11:13, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- We could create a list... --Ricordisamoa 12:49, 17 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- I have started a list, I'm not sure what format you want it in ;p ·Add§hore· Talk To Me! 22:52, 19 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- The bot now uses this list and marks the items as deleted for some tests now. -- Bene* talk 11:38, 21 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
