If you've come here having recently ] which has just been marked to say it may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, ]. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an ] article. If it was a test, ''congratulations'' – you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the ] for further testing, or create yourself a ]. |

If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that met the ]. If so, please see our guidelines on ] to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable. |

For more information, please read our ]. |

|
== Using this page == |
|
|
For articles that need deletion, add <nowiki>{{deletebecause|Reason.}}</nowiki> or <nowiki>{{db|Reason.}}</nowiki> to the top of the page. You should '''not''' wipe out the contents as it helps to check the contents to be deleted without having to look at the page history. This expands to: |
|
|
|
|
|
<div name="Deletion notice" class="notice" id="delete" style="margin: 0 5%; padding: .5em; background: #fee; border: 1px solid #999999; text-align: left; font-size: 95%;">'''This page meets Misplaced Pages's ]. The given reason is: ''Reason''.''' |
|
|
|
|
|
If you disagree with its speedy deletion, please explain why on ] or at ]. If this page obviously does not meet the criteria for speedy deletion, or you intend to fix it, please remove this notice, but do not remove this notice from articles that you have created yourself. |
|
|
|
|
|
''], remember to check ] and () before deleting]''</div> |
|
|
|
|
|
Replace ''Reason'' with the reason why the page should be deleted under the ]. |
|
|
|
|
|
Other templates available that give a reason include {{tl|nonsense}} and {{tl|db-bio}}. They may be used where appropriate. |
|
|
|
|
|
(You can also use {{tl|delete}} or {{tl|d}} if you prefer not to provide a reason, but it is generally a good idea to provide a reason, even where it seems "obvious" to you.) |
|
|
|
|
|
You can also add the page to the list at the bottom of this page, but you don't have to. |
|
|
|
|
|
Note that if you just replace the content with <nowiki>{{db|reason}}</nowiki> the prior content will '''not''' be automatically added to the ] summary when the page is deleted. |
|
|
|
|
|
See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages. |
|
|
|
|
|
For articles that do not meet the ], please use ]. Please do not list pages here that are already listed there. |
|
|
|
|
|
== Advice for administrators == |
|
|
* Use ] for a list of pages |
|
|
* Use ] for '''' (This is an older method superseded by categorisation, but temporarily still in use until full switch is possible.) |
|
|
* Check talk pages, page history, what links here (especially for potentially controversial user pages), etc. If there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on ] |
|
|
* Review our ] |
|
|
* If the page to be deleted is directly related to a specific user or that user's activities, consider moving the page to that user's personal userspace (and deleting the redirect) instead of deleting it outright. |

== Deletion of personal pages == |
|
|
Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't. |
|
|
|
|
|
Only post pages from your '''own''' personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here. |
|
|
|
|
|
Please see ] for further instructions, and ] for past discussion on this issue. |
