- You must sign in to nominate pages for deletion. If you do not sign-in, or you edit anonymously, you will get stuck part way through the nomination procedure.
- To nominate multiple related pages for deletion, follow the multi-page deletion nomination procedure.
- To nominate a single page for deletion, you can use Twinkle, or follow these three steps:
| I. | Put the deletion tag on the article.
|
| II. | Create the article's deletion discussion page.
The resulting AfD box at the top of the article should contain a link to "Preloaded debate" in the AfD page.
OR
|
| III. | Notify users who monitor AfD discussions.
|
Usage
("AfD" as used on this page is an abbreviation for "Articles for deletion".)
