Votes for Deletion (VfD) is where Wikipedians decide what should be done with problematic articles. Items sent here usually wait five days or so; then the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:


 * Kept
 * Deleted per the deletion policy
 * Sent to Cleanup or BJAODN
 * Merged and/or redirected to an existing article
 * Transwikied (moved to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, or another language's Wikipedia)

More information can be found at the Guide to Votes for deletion.

Things to consider
It is important to read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion, before adding comments to this page. Click "what links here" (in the sidebar of the article page) to see how the page is being used and referenced within Wikipedia.

'''If a page can serve as a useful redirect or be merged somewhere, do not list it here. ''' Doing so only clutters VfD.

VfD etiquette

 * Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
 * Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~.


 * If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
 * Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith. If you have never contributed before, how are we supposed to know whether you're a valid contributor, or if you're just a friend or relative of the article's creator voting out of personal loyalty?
 * Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.

You don't have to vote on every nomination; consider not participating if: Also, please see this discussion on the talk page of Deletion Policy regarding notability.
 * a nomination involves a topic of which you are ignorant.
 * consensus you agree with has already been formed.

How to list pages for deletion
First, be certain that deleting the page is what you want to recommend. If you can improve the article instead, do so. Consider if it might be better to redirect the article, rename it, or mark it for cleanup; you can do those boldly without listing the page here.

Also, the only pages that should be listed here are articles, pages in the Wikipedia namespace, and user pages. Go to the appropriate pages to nominate templates, categories, redirects, stub types or images and other media, or to report a copyright violation.

To list an article/page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page to be deleted)
