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.

Unlike other Wikimedia sites such as the Commons, consensus indicates that templates used to mark "votes" during *FD discussions (which often merely consist only of a small image and text, such as Keep) are not to be used on Wikipedia. Any template specifically only used to mark these "votes" will be deleted per G4 of the criteria for speedy deletion.

Please remember that deletion discussions are not a vote.
