How does X work?

{{helpme}} How do I nominate a page for deletion? Thanks! --Agyoung2 (talk) 03:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

See Speedy deletion, Proposed deletion, and Articles for deletion. Speedy and proposed deletion are for non-controversial deletion, Articles for deletion is a discussion on deletion.--Res2216firestar 03:35, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

How do I nominate a page for deletion? Thanks! --Agyoung2 (talk) 03:28, 30 April 2009 (UTC)

There are 3 ways;

• Speedy deletion, for blatant nonsense etc
• Proposed deletion, a page that 'obviously doesn't belong in an encyclopedia'
• Deletion discussion, commonly called "AFD" (articles for deletion) - someone nominates the page and "we", the wikipedia community, make comments about whether we think it should stay or go.

If it's an established article, I expect it will be the latter. In which case, please go to WP:AFD - instructions are there, and you'll also find it will be useful to skim through some existing nominations to see how it all works.

If you need more help, use another helpme or talk to us live.
