Template:Delete
| This page has been proposed for deletion. |
|---|
If a reason was given it will appear here:
If this notice has remained on this page, and a note placed on the page of the main contributor(s), for at least one week, with no opposition to the deletion, the page may be deleted on the judgement of an admin. Speedy deletion: In cases of obvious spam or inappropriate content, the admin should check the page history and revert if appropriate. If there is only spam in the history, delete immediately if you are certain this would be uncontroversial. |
[edit] Usage
- Add this template to the top of the page.
- Do not replace the text of the page - leaving it there makes it easier for admins and other users to review the request, and perhaps take other measures such as improving the article.
- Add a reason after the pipe, as in this example:
- {{delete|no relevance to Appropedia}}
[edit] Notes
This template places the page in Category:Pages marked for deletion.
Do not edit this template to discuss why a particular article should or should not be deleted -- for that, use the article’s own discussion page.
[edit] Deletion policy
- Where the content may be of interest to someone, it is better to transwiki it or move it to userspace (at least temporarily). Deletion is generally for content which is of no value.
- Where the content is inaccurate or lacking in some way, it is best to flag it as needing improvement (with {{stub}}, {{cleanup}}, {{copyedit}} or {{inaccurate}}), rather than requesting deletion. It is easier to improve an existing article than create a new one.
