[[:w:Deletionpedia|Deletionpedia v1]] was doing this for a while in 2008 but has stopped working (most rescues in 2008, last edit in 2012). [[User:Guaka|Guaka]] ([[User talk:Guaka|talk]]) plans to keep v2 going for a bit longer.
As of July 21st 2015 there are also versions in other languages: [[frdp:|French]], [[nldp:|Dutch]], [[dedp:|German]] and [[svdp:|Swedish]].


Unlike DPv1 people are allowed to edit v2, but it's advisable to wait until articles have been definitely deleted on Wikipedia. If an article is not deleted we won't delete the article here, we'll just put a template linking back to Wikipedia. Like that you can still go into the history of an article and find your edits. It also helps when an article is deleted 3 months later anyway (as is very often the case).

Deletionpedia is a radical inclusionist wiki for rescuing articles from Wikipedia's deletionism. It was started by Guaka on December 24th 2013 and so far we've rescued 91,249 articles.

As of July 21st 2015 there are also versions in other languages: French, Dutch, German and Swedish.

Some bot code is available at GitHub.

You should be able to actually sign up and edit articles.

How does this work?

Articles that are under discussion on Wikipedia are automatically copied here by Robyt. If the article is retained on Wikipedia the article is emptied on Deletionpedia. If the article is removed on Wikipedia we don't have to do anything here. So if an article is not deleted we won't delete the article here, Robyt will just put a template linking back to Wikipedia. But articles are often relisted for deletion again soon.

You are welcome to sign up and help with the project.

It's okay (encouraged even) to edit articles here once they have definitely been deleted on Wikipedia (unlike DPv1), but it's advisable to wait until articles have been definitely deleted on Wikipedia. Like that you can still go into the history of an article and find your edits.

Click on random page to get an idea about what kind of stuff gets deleted on Wikipedia. A lot is great quality articles written by people who care and spent a lot of time on them, including research and adding references.

Free wiki hosting for Deletionpedia is provided by wiki.yt.
