If you've come here from a recently created page whose text may soon be deleted, then please understand that we mean no harm in deleting your page. In fact, welcome to Wikipedia. We're delighted to have you, but the page you created seemed to be something other than an encyclopedia article. If it was a test, congratulations - you succeeded in creating a page. Please use the sandbox for further testing, or create yourself a user page.

If your article was not a test, you may have created a page that was a candidate for speedy deletion. If so, please see our guidelines on writing perfect stubs to see how you could improve the page to something that will not be instantly deletable.

For more information, please read our deletion policy.

Using this page

For articles that need deletion, add {{delete}} to the top of the page. 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. This expands to:

You can also add it to the list at the bottom of this page, but you don't have to.

Note that if you just replace the content with {{delete}} the prior content will not be automatically added to the deletion log summary when the page is deleted.

Use {{deletebecause|your reason here}} to give a reason.

See below for instructions regarding the deletion of personal subpages.

For articles that are not candidates for speedy deletion, please use wikipedia:votes for deletion. Please do not list pages that are already listed there.

Advice for administrators

  • Use Category:Candidates for speedy deletion for a list of pages
  • Use What links here for Template:Delete (This is an older method superseded by categorisation, but temporarily still in use until full switch is possible.)
  • 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:Votes for deletion
  • Review our admin deletion guidelines

Deletion of personal pages

Unless you are a sysop, it is not possible to delete your own user pages and subpages, so they must be listed here. If you are a sysop, it is recommended that you also list your pages here so they can be deleted by another sysop. For your main user or talk pages, you must list them here, not delete them yourself, to avoid the appearance that sysops can delete to hide negative comments, while others can't.

Only post pages from your own personal page, and only if you have a genuine reason for requesting a personal page of yours be deleted, please list it here.

Please see Wikipedia:User page for further instructions, and Wikipedia talk:Personal subpages to be deleted for past discussion on this issue.

Current list

Resources, Slrubenstein and Netoholic subpages have been affected by the compression bug and cannot be deleted at this time. Just leave them tagged for deletion and it will be handled when the developers work out the bug ( in "a month or two"). SWAdair | Talk 11:38, 3 Feb 2005 (UTC)

New notices

This already survived a VfD, the person who added the del tag says however "original research, already deleted, hilarious and listed on funny deleted pages". Maybe it should go back to VfD and be reconsidered. Kappa 12:29, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

These were two of the first pages I created and edited on wikipedia, which I have now come to realise are not appropriate for articles. I hope they are suitable candidates for speedy deletion. --Neo 13:05, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

  • Fank cannot be deleted right away because of the compression bug. jni 10:25, 4 Feb 2005 (UTC)
    • Can we just make it a redirect for now? -- Netoholic @ 04:36, 2005 Feb 7 (UTC)
      • To what? :) --Neo 12:04, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Baramidze's real name is Giorgi and he already has an article at Giorgi Baramidze. Ausir 01:18, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

No idea what this is. No content. --Improv 04:14, 7 Feb 2005 (UTC)

  • If you look on the page it redirects to, you'll see what it is (its a character name or something). this is not a canadate for speedy deletion methinks - Aknorals 00:13, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I... kinda screwed up... twice no less... i meant to create a page that redirected to American and British English differences .... I have the article at British vs American English ... and if those two ones that need to be deleted are, then it will go to British vs American English by default, right??? - Aknorals 01:09, 8 Feb 2005 (UTC)
