WN:DR redirects here. For dispute resolution, see WN:DISPUTE.

This page seeks to resolve the question whether a page or file should be deleted through consensus.

Articles written from other news sources, abandoned, minimal, or press release are listed in the appropriate categories for a period of three days (see bottom of page for a list of these articles). Original reports have to be listed for seven days. Non-articles also appear for Seven days. After the appropriate period, an admin looks at the page or file and determines whether consensus for deletion has been reached. If it has, the page is deleted. The period of time starts at the submission of the deletion request on this page.

You may also list an image, category or article pages on the candidate for speedy deletion page by adding {{delete}} to the page to be nominated for speedy deletion.

  • Read and be familiar with the Criteria for deletion before listing a page here, or debating on a page here.
  • Articles must fall foul of the Criteria for deletion to be listed here. Invalid listings will be removed. Editors may not edit the Criteria for deletion in order to justify their listing.
  • Note: If you have registered an account at Wikinews for the sole purpose of attempting to sway a deletion request, any vote and comment within the voting section will be struck and disregarded. Votes on this page are the purview of established contributors who have a demonstrated record of understanding site policy.

This page is also the proper venue for discussing undeletion requests. If you object to speedy deletion of an article, or wish to overturn another deletion request, please list it here, an admin may undelete it for the duration of the vote, so that users may view the article they are voting on.

You no longer need to nominate abandoned articles, copyright violations, or minimal articles here — see Wikinews:Proposed deletion.

How to list a page here

  1. Add {{Deletion request}} or {{dr}} to the image, category or article page.
    • For suspected copyright violations, instead add {{Copyvio|url=insert_web_address_here}} The page will remain here for three days before being deleted.
    • For abandoned articles, instead add {{abandoned}}, but please be aware that people often forget to {{publish}}.
  2. List the link below using the following template:
== [[Date of nomination]] ==
=== [[Article title]] ===
State reason for deletion request and sign (--~~~~).
==== Votes ====
Please vote using {{keep}}, {{remove}}, {{neutral}}, or {{comment}} followed by signature (--~~~~)

Note for admins

To close a Deletion Request, enclose the DR with:

and then delete the article if the DR was successful or remove {{DR}} from the article if it was kept.
  • If the subject of a deletion was a category/image/infobox and the DR was successful, the closing admin should remove those from the articles in which they appear.
  • The talk page of the article can be updated by adding {{Multidel}} with a Diff to the closed DR discussion to the top of the talk page.
