User:Johnleemk/VfD statistics

This page is no longer being updated, and has been retired in favour of Deletion policy/Reducing VfD load/Analysis.

This page is intended to gather statistics on VFD. All times are in UTC.

Transwiki votes are counted as delete for the purposes of this page (as a transwiki would indicate the article is unencyclopedic). Articles receiving only one vote are not counted. Speedy delete votes are counted as delete votes; likewise with the actual speedying of an article itself.
