» DELETED STUFF XIII
Summary:
Downvoted into oblivion.
SCP-1272, a book that counted down your sins until it killed you, deleted.
SCP-1411, A Cold Hard Road, deleted after the author contacted me on chat.
It was also below -10 and had four staff votes, and per the last post on the thread the author seemed to be under the impression that the staff votes were extra mean downvotes or something! We don't get extra mean downvotes, as much as we sometimes want them. So this sounds like a good time to link the deletion policy:
http://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/deletions-and-you-or-why-that-page-isn-t-here-anymore
It takes four staff votes to delete an article that is -5 or below. Staff does not vote for deletion because they don't like you, there's just a lot of us responsible for keeping things clean and the staff vote makes sure we're all on the same page. The more you know.
Carnage
SCP-1119, Metallic Caterpillar, eaten by a mechanical bird at -13 and four votes.
SCP-1127, Petrified Forest, sent through a wood chipper rock crusher at -19 and four votes.
SCP-1130, Vivisector Device, sliced and diced at -14 and four votes.
SCP-1295, Unsettling Wall, settled into a pile of dust courtesy of a sledgehammer at -15 and four votes.
SCP-1600, Spare Razor, couldn't get out of the gutter at -11 and four votes.
SCP-1634, The Scarecrow, murdered by a murder at -7 and four votes.
SCP-1717, Hybrid Atrophy Contagion, eradicated with penicillin and Norton Anti-Virus at -19 and four votes.
SCP-1907, A Peculiar Camera, overexposed to a light source (i.e. a blast furnace) at -18 and four votes.
SCP-1930, some guy who put himself in people's pasts or something, took a single bullet to the back of the head at -77 and five votes. An attached incident log met the same fate.
SCP-1987, Mirror Spider, dear gods I can't think of any more at -17 and four votes.
A tale, The Beast and its Prey, was sorely mistaken that it was an apex predator at -6 and four votes.
And, for good measure, Hawkins' Sandbox, purged at -5 and four votes.
Wait a second, since when can sandboxes get deletion votes?

This sandbox reached negative five and was backed up to the sandbox wiki, after ensuring that there was only a single article in its history with no significant changes. Additionally, the author was notified, so everything was perfectly in order. :)

Oh, this was a sandbox on the main Wiki? I get it now, sorry. Forgot we even had any of those around.

SCP-1119, Metallic Caterpillar, eaten by a mechanical bird at -13 and four votes.
Wait… Hold on, don't we have a "living" metallic bird statue, a hawk or eagle or something, that I can't find right now? Please tell me it hasn't been deleted and I'm just not looking hard enough, because HOLY CRAP it's now my official head-canon that that thing just breached containment and, while out there, ate "SCP-1119".
I know what you're talking about, but I couldn't find it either. Searching for "eagle" or "hawk" didn't find it, and "bird" and "statue" produced way too many results, as did the "statue" tag.
You know what, I think I might also make it my headcanon that Deletions happen in-universe just like Decommissions; they're just much more low-key and unimportant, barely worthy of a footnote in some archive somewhere.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
SCP-1607 self-deleted, in an extremely average way and an extraordinarily average fashion.
Hey this is totally not the place for it but where is your avatar from? The art looks very familiar to me.
Foundation tale "In the Draft" was amputated at -5 and 5 staff votes.
That was the one with the sliver of Contagious Crystal wafting through an air vent and hitting a guard in the eye, right? Good riddance.
Giving bearhugs to the unsuspecting since 1872.
SCP-1122, some manner of cyborg android girl, dismantled at -78.
SCP-1119, Believe Me, released at the national skeptics convention at -33 and four votes.
SCP-1121, Skeletal Researcher, turned by a low-level cleric at -15 and four votes.
SCP-1235, The Electric Mantis, eaten by a totally different mechanical bird at -13 and four votes. Mechanical Birds 2, Electrometallic Insects 0.
SCP-1436, Bone Dice, crapped out at -24 and four votes.
SCP-1790, The Zealot's Clay, buried under several feet of dirt to be unearthed dozens of generations from now at -12 and four votes. Future anthropologists beware.
Is there a way to recover deleted SCPs to put in sandboxes? For example, I created SCP-1235, but by the time I made the correct changes, everyone already downvoted it into oblivion. I'd really like to refine it, but it was deleted before I could recover it. Is there some kind of archive of deleted SCPs?
Wow, I'm sorry. Please ignore and delete my previous (and this) post.
Sorry for what? It's not an unreasonable question. Someone might even have a copy of it handy, although I don't even recall that particular one myself.
At worst you can always start the idea fresh on a sandbox.
