Before nominating: checks and alternatives

[change source]
Shortcut

Prior to nominating article(s) for deletion, please be sure to:

A. Read and understand these policies and guidelines
  1. The Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion.
  2. The main four guidelines and policies that inform deletion discussions: notability (WP:N), verifiability (WP:V), reliable sources (WP:RS), and what Wikipedia is not (WP:NOT)
  3. Subject-specific notability guidelines, which can be found at Category:Wikipedia notability guidelines
B. Carry out these checks
  1. Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for quick deletion.
  2. If there are verifiability, notability or other sourcing concerns, take reasonable steps to search for reliable sources. (See step D.)
  3. Review the article's history to check for potential vandalism or poor editing.
  4. Read the article's talk page for previous nominations and/or that your objections haven't already been dealt with.
  5. Check "What links here" in the article's sidebar, to see how the page is used and referenced within Wikipedia.
  6. Check if there are interlanguage links, also in the sidebar, which may lead to more developed and better sourced articles. Likewise, search for native-language sources if the subject has a name in a non-Latin alphabet (such as Japanese or Greek), which is often in the lead.
C. Consider whether the article could be improved rather than deleted
  1. If the article can be fixed through normal editing, then it is not a candidate for RfD.
  2. If the article was recently created, please consider allowing the contributors more time to develop the article.
  3. If an article has issues try first raising your concerns on the article's talk page, with the main contributors, and/or adding a cleanup tag, such as {{notability}}, {{hoax}}, {{original research}}, or {{advert}}; this ensures readers are aware of the problem and may act to fix it.
  4. If the topic is not important enough to merit an article on its own, consider merging or redirecting to an existing article. This should be done particularly if the topic name is a likely search term.
D. Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability
  1. The minimum search expected is a normal Google search, a Google Books search, a Google News search, and a Google News archive search; Google Scholar is suggested for academic subjects.
  2. If you find a lack of sources, you've completed basic due diligence before nominating. However, if a quick search does find sources, this does not always mean an RfD on a sourcing basis is unwarranted. If you spend more time examining the sources, and determine that they are insufficient, e.g., because they only contain passing mention of the topic, then an RfD nomination may still be appropriate.
  3. If you find that adequate sources do appear to exist, the fact that they are not yet present in the article is not a proper basis for a nomination. Instead, you should consider citing the sources, or at minimum apply an appropriate template to the page that flags the sourcing concern. Common templates include {{unreferenced}}, {{refimprove}}, {{third-party}}, {{primary sources}} and {{one source}}.

Discussed deletion

[change source]
Put the deletion tag on the article.
  1. Click "Change source" at the top of the page to be deleted.
  2. In the edit box, add this tag: {{rfd|REASON}}. Put it at the top of the page, above the rest of the text. Then, replace the text "REASON" with a short reason why the page should be deleted. Do not be too specific here. You can add more details on the discussion page (see below).
    • It is a good idea to write a change summary to let others know what you are doing. You can say "nominating for deletion", "requesting deletion", or something like that.
  3. Click "Save changes" at the bottom to save the page with the deletion tag at the top.
    • You can also check the "Watch this page" check box to add the page to your watchlist. This lets you know if the page for deletion has been changed. If the deletion tag is removed any time before the discussion is closed, it should be put back.
Create a discussion page.
  1. If the deletion tag has been added to the page, a box should appear at the top of the article with a link saying "Click here to create a discussion page!" Click that link.
  2. You should be taken to a page starting with "Creating Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/..." along with the current year and the name of the article to be deleted. In the edit box, the following tag should have already been added: {{RfD/Preload/Template}} . Replace the text PLACE REASON HERE with a more detailed reason why the page should be deleted.
    • It is helpful to include links to the various policy pages about Wikipedia (that begin with Wikipedia:). Here are some examples of this: "This article is [[Wikipedia:COMPLEX|not easy to understand]]" or "Not a [[Wikipedia:notable|notable]] topic''. This will make others more aware of why the page is not acceptable under Wikipedia's policies.
  3. Click "Save changes" to save the new discussion page when you are done.
    • A change summary you can write for this page is "creating discussion page", "starting deletion discussion", or something like that.
    • As with the page for deletion, you can check the "Watch the page" box. This will let you know if someone else has replied to your discussion.
List it here
  1. Copy the title of the discussion page to the clipboard. You can do this by dragging the mouse over the text from "Wikipedia" to the end of the page title to highlight it, then right-clicking and selecting "Copy".
  2. Go to the list of deletion requests, and click "change source" beside the words "Current deletion request discussions".
  3. At the top of the list of discussions, paste the title from the clipboard (right-click and select "Paste"). Add a pair of curly brackets before and after the title to make a template that will copy the content of the discussion page onto the main deletion page, like this:
    {{Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2024/(name of page to be deleted)}}
  4. Finally, click "Save changes" to add the discussion to the list. If the page saves successfully, you should see your deletion discussion at the top of the list. And that's it!

If this is too complicated for you, there are some gadgets like Twinkle that you can use. This allows you to do it faster.

Quick deletion

[change source]
See also: Wikipedia:Deletion policy § Quick deletion

If you think a page has nonsense content, add {{non}} to the top of the page.

If you think a page does not say why the subject is important, add {{notable}} to the top of the page.

If you think a page should be deleted per other quick deletion rules, add {{QD|reason}} to the top of the page.

Notifying the user

[change source]

Generally, you should try to be civil and tell the user that created the page to join the discussion talking about the page. This can be done by adding {{subst:RFDNote|page to be deleted}} ~~~~ to the bottom of their talkpage.

Discussions

[change source]
See also: Wikipedia:Deletion review
  • The discussion is not a vote. Please make suggestions on what action to take, and support your suggestion with reasons.
  • Please look at the article before you make a suggestion. Do not make an opinion using only the information given by the nominator. Looking at the history of the article may help to understand the situation.
  • Please read other comments and suggestions. They may have helpful information.
  • Start your comments or suggestions on a new line. Start with * and sign after your comment by adding ~~~~ to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs and make sure your comment is indented (using more than one *).
  • New users can make suggestions, but their ideas may not be considered, especially if the suggestion seems to be made in bad faith. The opinion of users who had an account before the start of the request may be given more weight or importance.
  • Suggestions by users using "sock puppets" (more than one account belonging to the same person) will not be counted.
  • Please make only one suggestion. If you change your mind, change your first idea instead of adding a new one. The best way to do this is to put <s> before your old idea and </s> after it. For example, if you wanted to delete an article but now think it should be kept, you could put: "Delete keep".
  • If you would like an article to be kept, you can improve the article and try to fix the problems given in the request for deletion. If the reasons given in the nomination are fixed by changing, the nomination can be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an administrator.
  • Try to avoid confusing suggestions, such as delete and merge.
  • Requests for deletion is not a war zone. You can click here for more information, although the page is not in Simple English.

Remember: You do not have to make a suggestion for every nomination. You should think about not making a suggestion if:

  1. A nomination involves a topic that you do not know much about.
  2. Everyone has made the same suggestion and you agree with that suggestion.
  • All times are in UTC.

  • Want to share that this recently published Vice Article "Is Porn Destroying Us?" discussed Malone and that is what led me to this Wikipedia.
Alas, Google results for Nautica Malone are populated by news of his death - with or without the wiki article.
With the long term effects of pornography and gooning unknown, Malone is a subject of impacts from gooning, pornography and masturbation.
The Wikipedia article for Malone is about the incident of his death as it seems this is what he is most known for.

Category:American bisexual people (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request

Auntof6 has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: In 2013, this category and similar ones were deleted as a result of Wikipedia:Requests for deletion/Requests/2013/Category:Gay men by nationality. That RFD decided that we would have categories like "<Nationality> LGBT people", but not "<Nationality> <LGBT subgroup> people".

Asteralee has recreated this category and asked me if that was OK. I told them that it should have been discussed first, and that I would start an RFD to discuss whether we want to have these categories now. So do we?

For what it's worth, it looks like English Wikipedia also deleted their version of these categories a long time ago (see en:Wikipedia:Categories_for_discussion/Log/2012_October_30#Category:Gay_men_by_nationality). However, they have since recreated them, although under slightly different names (for example, "Australian gay men" instead of "Gay men from Australia").

  •  Keep: I think it would be helpful to a reader. Rather than searching for the category of LGBT people by nationality, and then cross referencing the specific group category (such as bisexuals), they can simply go to the appropriate threefold category instead. I don't see the problem here. As an encyclopedia, we should try to be as helpful to a reader as possible. Justarandomamerican (t • c) 04:26, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • I think we came up with WP:CATGENDER for the reason that such categories are non-defining: if all I can say about a person is that they are of a certain nationality, and they are have a certain gender identity/sex that's too little. Plus anything that is not related to biological sex needs a reference. Also: while in Europe and the Americas people are often liberal about sexual orientation, that's not the case in Asia and the Middle East. For this reason I think such a classification is not helpful. And if we are talking about people doing a certain job, CATGENDER appplies. So likely we are better off without such a category.-Eptalon (talk) 06:18, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - that is what i am leaning toward.--It is simple, to not have that category (and i sort of understand and agree somewhat with user:Eptalon's argument).--There are lists that do not "single out countries": see List of gay, lesbian or bisexual people: A. 2001:2020:305:B943:64EC:4EE6:AA32:7694 (talk) 12:03, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Keep Many year's passed and most people've learned more about them, hence it does no harm to have smaller catagories. 微甜微酸微苦＿＿微鹹 (talk) 18:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  •  Delete I think it is better that we have a category which covers all of the mentioned subgroups, than lots of smaller categories breaking down those groups into both which part of the world they're from, and what part of the LGBT spectrum they belong to. It will be harder to find people in those categories. Let's not make it more complex than it needs to be. DaneGeld (talk) 19:31, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Old Nazi (edit · talk · history · links · watch · logs · delete) · close request

Eptalon has nominated this page for deletion for the reason: Likely an attempt to translate de:Altnazi. I would propose we delete this, because: 1) per its original definition (people who were important in the Nazi regime, and after the war again had a political position), it applies to perhaps 3-10 people. 2) the term was coined in the 1960s; at that time, the War had been over at least 15 years, and most people were happy it was over 3) if they were important to the Nazi regime, they were likely born between 1900 and 1915; this also means that they they were "old" in the 1970s; in the 1990s few if any were still alive. In short, it likely is difficult to come up with a historically accurate definition, let alone in Simple English, likely we are better off deleting Eptalon (talk) 21:30, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
