Revision as of 22:15, 31 January 2009
This page has been proposed for deletion. The reason given is:
You may discuss this proposal on the talk page. Please do not remove this notice unless you are an admin, or you are the one who placed it here. If this notice has remained on a page, and a note on the page of the creator and/or main contributor, for at least one week, with no comments made opposing the deletion, the page may be deleted on the judgement of an admin. |
Usage

- Add a reason after the pipe, as in this example:
- {{delete|no relevance to Appropedia}}
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.
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.
