General clarification

This program is used primarily in articles for deletion. The name of the program reflects that Articles for deletion is not a vote process, but is a primary method of finding consensus in discussion. For more information please see the listing in what Misplaced Pages is not under democracy as well as the deletion process, and guide to deletion. You may also wish to review the list of policies and the list of guidelines before making a decision using WikiDiscussion Manager.

Note – it is planned for expansion to cover more of Misplaced Pages's discussions. AfD was chosen as it is the largest such process on wikipedia. Others will come in time.
