Revision as of 14:11, 23 March 2007
This page seeks to resolve the question whether a page or file should be deleted through consensus.
Articles written from other news sources are listed here for a period of three days. Original reports have to be listed for seven days. Non-articles also appear for Seven days. After the appropriate period, an admin looks at the page or file and determines whether consensus for deletion has been reached. If it has, the page is deleted. The period of time starts at the submission of the deletion request on this page.
You may also list an image, category or article pages on the candidate for speedy deletion page by adding {{delete}} to the page to be nominated for speedy deletion.
- Read and be familiar with the Deletion guidelines before listing a page here, or debating on a page here.
- Articles must fall foul of the Deletion guidelines to be listed here. Invalid listings will be removed. Editors may not edit the Deletion guidelines in order to justify their listing.
- See the Deletion Log or the deletion archives to see what pages have been deleted.
This page is also the proper venue for discussing undeletion requests. If you object to speedy deletion of an article, or wish to overturn another deletion request, please list it here, an admin may undelete it for the duration of the vote, so that users may view the article they are voting on.
You no longer need to nominate abandoned articles, copyright violations, or minimal articles here — see Wikinews:Proposed deletion.
How to list a page here
- Add {{Deletion request}} or {{dr}} to the image, category or article page.
- For suspected copyright violations, instead add {{Copyvio|url=insert_web_address_here}} The page will remain here for three days before being deleted.
- For abandoned articles, instead add {{abandoned}}, but please be aware that people often forget to {{publish}}.
- List the link below using the following template:
=== [[Article title]] === REASON -- ~~~~ *ARGUMENTS -
Note for admins
If you wish to use templates to close a discussion, you can use
- {{closed-dr}}
- {{closed-dr-box}} and {{closed-dr-footer}}.

It's being mis-applied - being added to breaking stories despite them explicitly being an exception - and is encouraging laziness in editors. Instead of slapping on a tag, find and add more sources.

Encyclopedic portal. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 20:58, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
- Not necessarily not allowed, but for a specialty area manually updated portal, it better have more then two articles. delete Bawolff ☺☻ 01:57, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
March 19
Not used anywhere, encyclopedic cat. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 23:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. I agree that its useless, things will fall into other categories much more easily.—Dark Squall 02:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- delete duplicates Category:Groups. Bawolff ☺☻ 01:59, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
Encyclopedic cat, sub-cat of Category:Organizations. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 23:55, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete. Again useless, empty subcategory of an otherwise empty category—Dark Squall 02:36, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 15:45, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
March 18
Was taged for deletion in November by Brainmc but he never listed it here. —FellowWikiNews (W) (sign here!) 14:46, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete --Brian McNeil / talk 17:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Please fix your keyboard, you have mapped the "a" and "i" keys in the wrong place.
- P.S. Sorry for forgetting to list this, I've never seen a war without some politician shooting off his mouth about every little detail, hence I think articles should be under Category:Politics and conflicts, or Category:Dumb politicians ☺. --Brian McNeil / talk 17:14, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
- Delete.—Dark Squall 15:41, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
- If this gets deleted, what precedent does that set for category:Iraq War? (personally i think war should be a subcat of p&c, then for stuff like iraq war we make a portal for it in a similar matter to Portal:North Korea nuclear proliferation - combine caats iraq and war) Bawolff ☺☻ 22:51, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

I'm still waiting for some native speaker to come up with an alternative name for this category, for articles such as On bereavement and acceptance: Yale study of grief process.--Steven Fruitsmaak (Reply) 18:16, 18 March 2007 (UTC)
