This is an essay on the deletion policy. It contains the advice or opinions of one or more Wikipedia contributors. This page is not an encyclopedia article, nor is it one of Wikipedia's policies or guidelines, as it has not been thoroughly vetted by the community. Some essays represent widespread norms; others only represent minority viewpoints. |
This page is intended to answer frequently-asked questions regarding deletion. If the deletion tag is pink, you are advised to go place the {{hangon}} tag on the article if you intend to dispute the deletion.
A short note-if your intent here is just to vandalize and disrupt the work of others, or to post spam or advertisements, you are advised to either reconsider that decision and make positive contributions, or to just go away. If you do neither, one of our fine administrators will shortly be along to assist you in going away. It's not nearly as funny as you think it is, and if you have a point to make, you won't get it across that way. On the other hand, if you would like to contribute positively but have a question about an article that's marked for deletion or deleted, read on.
