 | This is an essay. 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. |
Articles are often merged or redirected at the end of a deletion discussion and these closures are often challenged by editors who oppose the outcome. The purpose of this essay is to explain how to do this effectively.
