This template is used to nominate articles for deletion. For convenience purpose, this template may also be used for images, categories and templates nominated for deletion. Please read our deletion policy on nominating for deletion. When you add this template to an article, make sure that you do not remove the content already on that article.
Deletion policy[edit source]
- If the page can be improved, this should be solved through regular editing, rather than deletion. These articles can be placed with the {{stub}} template for short pages needing expansion.
- Articles that are short and unlikely to be expanded can often be merged into a larger article or list or redirected to a related article. This is, however, applied only on case to case basis.
- Speedy deletion is applied to articles unrelated to Kingdom Hearts, spam, inappropriate content including non-worksafe elements, redundant templates, inappropriate user pages, and utter gibberish.
- Redirects should not be deleted.
- When nominating for deletion, only place the appropriate template, and nothing else. This means that you should NOT erase the page when you place the template.
- Consider waiting for at least half a day before deleting an article if it does not fall under speedy deletion to allow for discussion.
- Administrators: Delete discussed articles when there is no consensus to keep. Delete the article's talk page if one exists.
Usage[edit source]
- Please type {{delete}} on the page you wish to nominate for deletion.
- Please type {{delete|<reason for deletion>}} to provide reason for its nomination.
