- As per Wikipedia:Edit this proposal, you should be bold and edit it.
- This proposal originally spawned from the discussion on Preliminary Deletion. It never really got a spotlight, and recently it has been suggested that giving it some wider exposure might have merit.
- It's Yet Another attempt at streamlining our overburdened, unscalable deletion process: countdown deletion. The basic idea is that articles that start off as rubbish are put on probation: if nobody comes to improve them in seven days, they're out.
- Succeeded by Wikipedia:Proposed deletion.
Countdown deletion (CD) is intended to be an additional tool for deletion. It would not supplant or modify Wikipedia:Votes for deletion or Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion in any way, except for prohibiting VfD on an article already undergoing CD.
