:: OK, but in my edit summaries I indicated that they had the "hallmarks of a longtime cross-wiki vandal", meaning that [[m:User:MF-Warburg/Decker|a particular globally-banned user]] was probably the author of the pages. Current practice is to delete all such pages on sight, regardless of their quality. Since I am only an ordinary user, I have no way of knowing who is behind an IP address, nor can I delete pages, so I just tag pages that I suspect are created by this particular user and let stewards or local admins decide. In this particular case, the pages were [[2074|just]] [[2094|deleted]] by a steward, who apparently (independently) came to the same conclusion as I did. If you (or anyone else here) want those pages back, they can be re-created based on existing similar pages. Obviously, the stewards will not delete pages that are clearly created by a legitimate local user. (My own view is that pages for years several decades in the future are not useful and almost never attract any actual encyclopedic content, so I would prefer they stay deleted. But I would also not move to delete them if they were re-created by a local user here.) - [[Meidogger:Dcljr|dcljr]] ([[Meidogger oerlis:Dcljr|oerlis]]) 12 apr 2018, 20.01 (CEST)
::: That's why I removed the deletion to indicate there was no visible reason at all to delete them. I don't kow what the hallmarks are: Did this contributor always extend the year pages ranges? (Had you entered them on the page for deletions, I would have discussed it there, but the result would probably have been the same.)<br>Indeed someone deleted all these pages without asking us, which I don't like at all. Especially, not even asking us has in this case lost us our 40000th page. What am I, as press contact, going to tell a journalist: "Yes, we used to have that many pages, but someone didn't care about them."? Then the journalist would report "Wikipedia suffers from vandalism", meaning the steward, and I'm not sure that call would be wrong in this case.

{{Ping|Dcljr}} Keeping this discussion in English, I would like to add that I, as an administrator of the Frisian Wikipedia, am also not at all happy with the way this thing was handled. Like I told Holder (see: [[Meidogger_oerlis:Holder#Mass deletion]]), I invested about an hour and a half to connect all those pages to the appropriate Wikidata items, and all that work was deleted along with those year pages. In the future please delete or mark for deletion only those pages that have a vandalism content, and consult with the administrators of this Wiki concerning pages created by any known longtime cross-wiki vandal, which have a content that is actually pretty reasonable. Alright? [[Meidogger:Ieneach fan 'e Esk|Ieneach fan 'e Esk]] ([[Meidogger oerlis:Ieneach fan 'e Esk|oerlis]]) 13 apr 2018, 22.12 (CEST)
