== Requesting speedy deletion == |
|||
}} |
|||
;Before making a speedy deletion request, please read our [[Wikipedia:criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]]. Administrators will deny requests that do not fulfill the criteria. |
|||
For pages that need deletion, edit the page and add the appropriate speedy deletion template (depending on which of the speedy deletion criteria the page satisfies) to the top. For a full list, see [[:Category:Speedy deletion templates|Speedy deletion templates]]. If you wish to explain the reason for the request in detail, add <nowiki>{{deletebecause|</nowiki>''Reason for deletion''}} or <nowiki>{{db|</nowiki>''Reason for deletion''}}. 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. |
|||
For articles that do not meet the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|criteria for speedy deletion]], please use [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion]] (for deletions likely to meet no opposition) or [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]] (for potentially controversial deletions). If a page is already listed in Articles for Deletion or a candidate for proposed deletion, do not tag it for speedy deletion unless it clearly satisfies the speedy deletion criteria. |
|||
== Appealing speedy deletions == |
|||
If you object to, and wish to appeal any administrator's deletion of a page because it was based on the [[Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion|speedy deletion criteria]], leave a polite notice on their user talk page. If they refuse to restore the page, you may list the page for [[Wikipedia:Deletion review|deletion review]]. (You can find out who deleted a page by editing the deleted page, then selecting the "deletion log" link.) |
|||
== Advice for administrators == |
|||
* Review our [[Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines for administrators|admin deletion guidelines]]. |
|||
* Use '''[[:Category:Candidates for speedy deletion]]''' 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 [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion]]. |
|||
* 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 [http://mail.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikien-l/2005-December/035078.html] — new pages patrol is unpleasant, and people will make mistakes. |
