Description Pcb21 2005-08-09 09:04:42 UTC 
(See
http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Votes_for_deletion&oldid=20607625
for a longer discussion.)

There is considerable support in the community for adding the following:
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /wiki/Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion/

to the en.wikipedia robots.txt - the reason being that deletion debates are
hitting for the top of search engine searches when Wikipedia has no content on
the topic (because it has been deleted!) And VfD pages are hardly Wikipedia's
most attractive side....
