Requests for adminship/Candidate questions
Redundant listing of questions. Out of date in terms and unused in project. Function currently done by RfAsubst. NOTE: This is not a speedy-able page.  MBisanz  talk 22:33, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Just noting, the function is done by RfA, not RfAsubst.  Majorly  (talk) 10:34, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Mark as historical. I think that this is a very interesting relic of early RFA that shows us where our current set of questions derived from. In this case, the three questions were consolidated from five by User:Michael Snow.  bibliomaniac 1 5  Do I have your trust? 22:37, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ditto. Exactly my thoughts.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 03:44, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Historical Where is the need to delete this? -- Ned Scott 04:20, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I am going through the Requests for adminship/ subdirectory clearing and fixing malformed RFAs. If this is kept I'll just classify it with a cat to keep it out of the general RFA pool.  MBisanz  talk 05:04, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ahhh. -- Ned Scott 05:16, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Add it to the current RfA template, replacing the question section, and fully protect it so no more questions can be asked. Or just mark as historical if that can't be done.  Majorly  (talk) 10:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Historical. Per above... dihydrogen monoxide (H2O) 10:31, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Historicise, interesting document for Wiki-historians (oh god, I can't believe I just coined that term). Lankiveil (speak to me) 07:31, 4 May 2008 (UTC).
 * Fortunately, then, you didn't. :-) Google immediately finds one use (sans hyphen, though) at Deletion review/Log/2007 July 29, and several other hits that might well predate that. There seem to be two distinct meanings, though, the other one referring to people who edit history articles on Wikipedia.  —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 16:20, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
