Revision as of 13:45, 5 February 2010
Scope: This page is for requests for deletion of pages in the main namespace. One of the reasons for posting an entry or a sense here is that it is a sum of parts, such as "brown leaf".
Out of scope: This page is not for requests for deletion in other namespaces such as "category:" or "template:", for which see Wiktionary:Requests for deletion/Others. It is also not for requests for attestation. Terms that have failed a request for verification should not be resubmitted here without adequate verification; see verification archives. Very blatantly obvious candidates for deletion should only be tagged with {{delete|Reason for deletion}} and not listed.
Adding a request: To add a request for deletion, place the template {{rfd}} or {{rfd-sense}} to the questioned entry, and then make a new nomination here. The section title should be exactly the wikified entry title such as "[[brown leaf]]". The deletion of just part of a page may also be proposed here. If an entire section is being proposed for deletion, the tag {{rfd}} should be placed at the top; if only a sense is, the tag {{rfd-sense}} should be used, or the more precise {{rfd-redundant}} if it applies. In any of these cases, any editor including non-admins may act on the discussion.
Closing a request: Requests are archived when a decision to delete, keep, or transwiki has been reached, or after the request has clocked out. The deleting administrator should remember to sign.
Time and clocking out: Entries and senses should not be deleted in less than seven days after nomination. When there is no consensus after some time, the template {{look}} should be added to the bottom of the discussion. If there is no consensus for more than a month, the entry should be kept as a 'no consensus'.
