If you've come here from a recently created page whose text may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, welcome to Misplaced Pages. 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 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 {{delete}} 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:
This redirect may meet Misplaced Pages's criteria for speedy deletion, but no reason has been given for why it qualifies. Please ensure that your reason is based on one of the speedy deletion criteria. Replace this tag with {{db|1=some reason}}. NA
If this redirect 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 pages that you have created yourself. If you created this page and you disagree with the given reason for deletion, you can click the button below and leave a message explaining why you believe it should not be deleted. You can also visit the talk page to check if you have received a response to your message. Note that this redirect may be deleted at any time if it unquestionably meets the speedy deletion criteria, or if an explanation posted to the talk page is found to be insufficient.
Note to administrators: this redirect has content on its talk page which should be checked before deletion. Administrators: check links, talk, history (last), and logs before deletion. Consider checking Google.This page was last edited by Harro5 (contribs | logs) at 21:28, 14 May 2005 (UTC) (19 years ago) |
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 {{delete}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.
Use {{deletebecause|your reason here}} or the shorthand {{db|reason}} to give a reason.
See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.
For articles that are not candidates for speedy deletion, please use Misplaced Pages:Votes for deletion. Please do not list pages here that are already listed there.
Advice for administrators
- Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
- Use What links here for Template:Delete (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 Misplaced Pages: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.

New notices
- Sittner Hall - blatant advert of a college dorm. Full of dead links. Harro5 07:47, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Pacific Trim - poorly written stub on an album with no band! Harro5 07:52, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
- Chikmag - vanity/advertising. Harro5 08:10, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
- The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess, data was redirected there based off subtitle info later found to be hoaxed. No hoax name is notable enough to be a redirect, so please delete this. Thanks! Master Thief Garrett 16:47, 14 May 2005 (UTC)
- Daniel Macarro - the authors have admitted this was a fake article made as a joke. Harro5 21:28, May 14, 2005 (UTC)
