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. |

::Evidently 172 does not like the term totalitarian dictator. he also does not like following the rules. The vote to delete Category:Totalitarian dictators had been closed without a consensus, so that category should still be around. 172 removed the notice of closing and then proceeded to solicit votes to support his position, after supporters of the category thought the voting was over. Consult with the admins on that deletion for the details of his behavior. This is an article, far more notable than many articles, and not only is it different than a category, there is different text than that which was voted down in the category. I had prepared this text for the category page, after there was no consensus for deletion of the page, and the voting had been closed, in order to improve the category so that it would answer 172s objections and do better should there be another attempt to delete the category. 172 of course, will deny that it addresses his objections, but that doesn't matter, many others will see that it takes the stings out of his assertions that this cannot be implimented in a NPOV manner. Instead of pressing for arbcom review of 172s behavior, and a restoration of the catagory due to the voting irregularies he fostered. I was just going to wait a month and create it again. In the mean time this is as legitimate as any article. Unfortunately, a lot of work by several editors was destroyed during the vote for catagory deletion process by 172s behavior, since he was busy deleting the category from all articles while the vote was still going on and had to be admonished. As far as I know there is no easy central place to recover those totalilitarian dictator candidates. In summary: |
|
|
# the original category should still be around and was only defeated due to irregularities by 172 after the voting had been closed without a consensus |
|
|
# so that event is irrelevant to making this a candidate for speedy deletion, this article is notable in its own right |
|
|
# this article is different than a category |
|
|
# the text in this article is different than that in the category, at least at the time of the voting and irregularities, so its merits are different, and its relation to the previous irregular events has been broken |
|
|
# the changes in the text are intended to address 172s objections, not his satisfaction, but perhaps to the satisfaction of others |
|
|
# 172 should be banned from editing the article, since he cannot edit it good faith, he has already concluded that it cannot be made workable, so any edits are likely to be as disruptive as his other behavior has been |
