Discussed deletion
बदलPut the deletion tag on the article.
- Add this tag:
{{RfD|REASON}}to the top of the page. - Please use a change summary such as "nominated for deletion".
- Save the page.
- You can also check the "Watch this page" box to add the page to your watchlist. This lets you to know if the RfD tag is removed.
Create a discussion page.
- On the box that has appeared at the top of the article, click the link to create a discussion page.
- Type the page name and the reason you are requesting deletion in the right places.
List it here
- Look at the discussion page you have just made, and follow the instructions in the red box.
- Once you have done that, you may wish to remove that tag.
Quick deletion
बदलसांचो:Seealso If you think a page has nonsense content, add {{non}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page does not say why the subject is important, add {{notable}} to the top of the page.
If you think a page should be deleted per other quick deletion rules, add {{QD|reason}} to the top of the page.
Notifying the user
बदलGenerally, you should try to be civil and tell the user that created the page to join the discussion talking about the page. This can be done by adding {{subst:RFDNote|<page to be deleted>}} ~~~~ to the bottom of their talkpage.
Discussions
बदल- The discussion is not a vote. Please make suggestions on what action to take, and support your suggestion with reasons.
- Please look at the article before you make a suggestion. Do not make an opinion using only the information given by the nominator. Looking at the history of the article may help to understand the situation.
- Please read other comments and suggestions. They may have helpful information.
- Start your comments or suggestions on a new line. Start with
*and sign after your comment by adding~~~~to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs and make sure your comment is indented (using more than one*). - New users can make suggestions, but their ideas may not be considered, especially if the suggestion seems to be made in bad faith. The opinion of users who had an account before the start of the request may be given more weight or importance.
- Suggestions by users using "sock puppets" (more than one account belonging to the same person) and IP addresses will not be counted.
- Please make only one suggestion. If you change your mind, change your first idea instead of adding a new one. The best way to do this is to put
<s>before your old idea and</s>after it. For example, if you wanted to delete an article but now think it should be kept, you could put: "DeleteQuick keep". - If you would like an article to be kept, you can improve the article and try to fix the problems given in the request for deletion. If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.
- Try to avoid confusing suggestions, such as delete and merge.
Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:
- A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
- Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.
- All times are in UTC.
