Done.
But Fred is right, you should probably be an admin.
Such a deletion doesn't need to go on the votes page,
since there was no history being deleted besides redirects --
yet technically it still required an admin to do it.
Perhaps there is a technical solution;
if a page has no history except redirects,
then should people be able to move to it
just like any other move?
In the past, I simply copied the text from one page to
the
other and set up the appropriate redirect, but a sysop got
on my case for it as a non-optimal operation. So now, I
put a request on Votes for Deletion, but no sysop has acted
on the request yet.
Well, you should ask the sysop that got on your case. ^_^
So, am I asking for the trivial page deletion in the
right
place? Or, should I just ignore a sysop jumping on my case,
because waiting days for an edit to happen is counter to the
wiki editing philosophy?
Possibly you should ignore it after a while,
since histories can be combined later anyway.
Or you can ask just me, since I'm nice in this way,
but then you may still wait a while if I'm busy.
