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 &ndash; you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the ] for further testing, or create a ] for yourself.

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:

{{db-reason|reason|category=}}

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.)

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 ==
* Review our ]
* Use ] for a list of pages
* 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 ]
* 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.
* Don't worry too much &mdash; new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. ] goes through the deletion logs to catch stuff that shouldn't have been speedied, without rancor or excessive red tape. Feel free to be efficient!

== 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.

Redirect to:

This page is a redirect. The following categories are used to track and monitor this redirect:
  • With history: This is a redirect from a page containing substantive page history. This page is kept as a redirect to preserve its former content and attributions. Please do not remove the tag that generates this text (unless the need to recreate content on this page has been demonstrated), nor delete this page.
    • This template should not be used for redirects having some edit history but no meaningful content in their previous versions, nor for redirects created as a result of a page merge (use {{R from merge}} instead), nor for redirects from a title that forms a historic part of Misplaced Pages (use {{R with old history}} instead).
When appropriate, protection levels are automatically sensed, described and categorized.
