Note to VfD contributors: The process for editing this page changed (as of 21 Feb 2005); please read the instructions below.
For images and other media: please visit Wikipedia:Images and media for deletion.
To list an article/page for deletion, follow this simple three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page to be deleted)
| I. | Edit PageName.
Enter the following text at the top of the page:
|
| II. | Create its VfD subpage.
You should see a prominent link to "this article's entry" in the new VfD text.
|
| III. | Add a line to VfD.
Follow this edit link and add a line to the bottom of the page:
|
There. Wasn't that easy?
An alternate method of listing a page for deletion:
- (wherever PageName occurs below, use the name of the page to be deleted instead.)
(The current UTC date is April 30, 2024. Does the last day-heading on VfD reflect this date? If not, try refreshing before using this method)
- Edit the page you want to delete, insert {{subst:vfd}} (not just {{vfd}}) at the top of that page, and save page.
- Follow the "vote to keep or delete" link to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/PageName and add a (crucial) link and sub-section heading:
- ===[[PageName]]===
Under the section, describe, in accordance with our deletion policy, why the page should be deleted and clearly write what action you think should be taken for the nominated article to assist others in determining consensus. Don't forget to sign and datestamp (using ~~~~).- Save page.
- Come back to this page and copy the following text:
- {{Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/PageName}}
- Edit the appropriate date section, using this edit link, or click on today's date from the table of contents, then click on the edit next to the date, but never the "[edit]" link beside another VfD-ed page's heading (those headings are included from a template, so you would be editing the wrong page); paste the copied text below the last VfD-ed page's {{Wikipedia...}} call.
- Don't forget to replace PageName with the name of the page that you are proposing for deletion.
- As a courtesy, use [[PageName]] as the edit summary, so people can go directly to the article instead of having to load all of VfD.
- Save page.
