Hi!

I posted a blog about this a few days ago, and many editors are continuing to blank the entire contents of a page before adding the delete template. Blanking pages is considered a form of vandalism (even if the page is going to be deleted), and from now on I will be warning editors if they continue to blank non-notable/delete-worthy pages.

I would like to identify one expection to this: if the page you're marking for deletion is severe vandalism (such as someone uploading pornographic pictures and creating a page with all those pictures in it), then please feel free to remove the vandalism. What I don't want to see is someone creating a page along the lines of "billy is a cool robloxian... blah blah blah" (with no evident vandalism) and seeing the page be nothing but a blank page with a deletion template on it.

Thanks!
