Revision as of 04:12, 22 March 2004
If you've come here from a recently created page whose text may soon be deleted, then Welcome to Misplaced Pages. 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 encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations - you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the Misplaced Pages:sandbox for further testing, or create yourself a user page.
If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that was a candidate for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.
For more information, please read our deletion policy
Using this page
For articles that need deletion, add {{msg:delete}} to the top of the page. Usually, 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:
This page is a candidate for speedy deletion.
If you disagree that the page should be deleted, please explain this on the talk page, or at Misplaced Pages:Speedy deletions.
You can also add it to the list at the bottom of this page, but you don't have to.
Note that if you just replace the content with {{msg:delete}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.
See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.
For articles that are not candidates for speedy deletion, please use wikipedia:votes for deletion. Please do not list pages that are already listed there.
Advice for administrators
- Use What links here for Mediawiki:Delete
- Check talk pages, page history, etc -- if there is a dispute over whether the page should be deleted, consider first listing it on wikipedia:votes for deletion
- Review our admin deletion guidelines
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 Misplaced Pages:User page for further instructions, and Misplaced Pages talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.

- On speedy deletion of Lise Ekdahl Text LE 1: I (initial author of that new page, or what part of it managed to spring into existence) do not disagree with its deletion in the first place simply because of the typo contained in the page keystring. However, what about the purpose it was intended for. Lyrics translations may or may not be OT in an encyclopedia (BTW I didn't intend to copy whatever material is already available on the 'net here, anyway.) If anyone can point me to an open wiki more suitable for the purpose, please do. Meantime, could Lisa Ekdahl Lyrics (to be created, and properly linked to Lisa Ekdahl perhaps be given a grace period of existence of, like, two weeks (or until the community decide it was meant to stay)? I don't mean to steal wikispace from wikipedia (sorry I don't have any option to set up a wiki myself) but I'm not sure a transient 10K Bytes (even times 10 edits) would really overburden the server. Any better suggestions greatly welcomed, thanks everybody.

- Rather than a grace period request, you may want to create unfinished articles that you may be working on for more than a day in your own user space by creeating something like User:Username/Lise Ekdahl Lyrics - Texture 18:46, 21 Mar 2004 (UTC)
