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

Articles have to be listed for '''seven days'''. After the appropiate 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 [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletion guidelines|candidate for speedy deletion]] page by adding <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki> to the page to be nominated for speedy deletion.

*'''Read and be familiar with the [[Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines|Deletion guidelines]] before listing a page here''', or debating on a page here.

*Articles '''must''' fall foul of the [[Wikipedia:Deletion guidelines|Deletion guidelines]] to be listed here. Invalid listings will be removed. Editors ''may not'' edit the Deletion guidelines in order to justify their listing.

*See the [[Special:Log/delete|Deletion Log]] or the [[Wikipedia:Deletion requests/Archives|deletion archives]] to see what pages have been deleted.
