Revision as of 03:27, 14 September 2015
| This is the talk page for discussing improvements to the Articles for deletion page. |
|
Q1: I don't like this page's name. I want to rename it to Articles for discussion or something else.
A1: Please see Wikipedia:Perennial proposals#Rename AFD. Note that all of the "for discussion" pages handle not only deletion, but also proposed mergers, proposed moves, and other similar processes. AFD is "for deletion" because the volume of discussion has made it necessary to sub-divide the work by the type of change. Q2: You mean I'm not supposed to use AFD to propose a merger or a page move?
A2: Correct. Please use Wikipedia:Proposed mergers or Wikipedia:Requested moves for those kinds of proposals. Q3: How many articles get nominated at AfD?
A3: Per the Oracle of Deletion, there were about 470,000 AfDs between 2005 (when the process was first created) and 2022. This comes out to about 26,000 per year (2,176 per month / 72 per day). In 2022, there were 20,008 AfDs (1,667 per month / 55 per day). Q4: How many articles get deleted?
A4: Between 2005 and 2020, around 60% of AfDs were closed as "delete" or "speedy delete". This is about 270,000. More detailed statistics (including year-by-year graphs) can be found at Wikipedia:Oracle/All and Wikipedia:Wikipedia records#Deletion. Q5: Is the timeline strict, with exactly 168 hours and zero minutes allowed? Should I remove late comments?
A5: No. We're trying to get the right outcome, not follow some ceremonial process. If the discussion hasn't been closed, it's okay for people to continue discussing it. Q6: How many people participate in AFD?
A6: As of October 2023, of the 13.9 million registered editors who have ever made 1+ edit anywhere, about 162,000 of them (1 in 85 editors) have also made 1+ edit to an AFD page. Most of the participants are experienced editors, but newcomers and unregistered editors also participate. Most individual AFD pages get comments from just a few editors, but the numbers add up over time. |

About deleted articles
There are three processes under which mainspace articles are deleted: 1) speedy deletion; 2) proposed deletion (prod) and 3) Articles for deletion (AfD). For more information, see WP:Why was my page deleted? To find out why the particular article you posted was deleted, go to the deletion log and type into the search field marked "title," the exact name of the article, mindful of the original capitalization, spelling and spacing. The deletion log entry will show when the article was deleted, by which administrator, and typically contain a deletion summary listing the reason for deletion. If you wish to contest this deletion, please contact the administrator first on their talk page and, depending on the circumstances, politely explain why you think the article should be restored, or why a copy should be provided to you so you can address the reason for deletion before reposting the article. If this is not fruitful, you have the option of listing the article at WP:Deletion review, but it will probably only be restored if the deletion was clearly improper.

Something Positive
I'm thinking this article Something Positive probably should go. I look at 'improving' it & come to the conclusion that every single part of it, judged alone, should be deleted. It doesn't seem notable, there are a few very minor possible RSs about the author, but none about the comic. Other than it having been nominated for the barely-existing WCCA, the only sources are comic pages themselves. Apparently IPs aren't allowed to nominate for deletion anymore...92.25.131.125 (talk) 14:04, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- See Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Something Positive. I'm not aware of any restrictions on IPs suggesting articles for deletion. Were you trying to use an automated tool? Ivanvector 🍁 (talk) 15:43, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- Making a complete AfD nomination involves creating the discussion page, which IP edito5rs are not technically able to do. It is common for autoconfirmed editors to assist with this step, indicating that the nom is on behalf of the IP editor. DES (talk) 16:01, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- Aye, not metaphorically able to do it either. Looking around a few other places, I reckon these Matt Boyd Ian McConville don't come close to existing either. BLP1E, IIRC, except even that E isn't notable. 92.25.131.125 (talk) 01:42, 4 September 2015 (UTC)

Missing instruction
I don't think this project page says how to make all that stuff that's always supposed to appear at the top of a deletion discussion page appear there. Is that something that's supposed to happen automatically with twinkle? Blackbombchu (talk) 16:28, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
- Blackbombchu whaile many, perhaps even most, editors do use Twinkle for creating AfD noms these days, and it does more or less automate the process, the detailed instructions can be found at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion#How to nominate a single page for deletion, follow steps I, II, and III as described in that section, and you will have created a valid nom. (some of the details are in the templates one is directed to use in those instructions, but they will do the job.) Don't forget WP:BEFORE and the steps listed in the previous section, which should be done for any nom, automated or not. DES (talk) 16:47, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Semi-protected edit request on 25 August 2015
 | This edit request to Template:AfD in 3 steps has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
(Cross-posted from the template page.) On the first line of step 3, “Open the articles for deletion log page,”
please change “Open” to “Edit,” because that’s where the link leads (also see WP:EASTEREGG).

- See crossposted. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 12:25, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
The article Health Service Culture:
- Consists mostly of direct quotations from different sources that simply define the relevant sense of "culture"
- Contains only a few sentences that relate to health services
- Has been edited less than 20 times altogether, the last time in 2012
- Does not meet Wikipedia's style guidelines
and, most important,
- Does not contain anything saying why culture in a health-service organization needs to be treated separately from culture of other kinds of organization.
I suggest that the subject is non-notable and therefore the article should be deleted; but as I am not a registered Wikipedia user (and am not going to become one), it will need someone else to agree with me and start the process. If, on the other hand, there is a consensus to keep it, then it needs a lot of improvement.
Consider this a "drive-by" nomination; if someone wants to start the official process, please do, but I myself am not interested in discussing it further, so please don't respond on my IP talk page. (And no, I'm not going to register with WIkipedia, so you needn't suggest that either.)
Thanks for your attention, --65.94.50.17 (talk) 04:47, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- I'll take care of this one. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:36, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
- I've completed the nomination and placed it at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Health Service Culture. UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 20:39, 27 August 2015 (UTC)
The article Anand Sen (business person) must not be deleted.
Please don't delete the article Anand Sen (business person) must not be deleted. If there is any problem in this article please resolve that or let me know regarding this on my user talk page: Padmalochanwiki:Talk.
Padmalochan Jena 08:29, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
- I suggest you go to the AfD. The article's fate is being discussed there. -Ad Orientem (talk) 17:05, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
This discussion has been sitting, but I'm bringing it up because the article's copyvio. The link is in the AfD (diff) (click on "About Us"), but I don't want to follow copyvio procedure and blank the article page because of the ongoing AfD. MSJapan (talk) 23:18, 29 August 2015 (UTC)
Nazoo Dharejo not to be deleted
I have provided the newspaper references more than one newspaper for Nazo Dharejo, go through those references find news about Nazo Dharejo, so the article must not be deleted. thanksJogi 007 (talk) 08:20, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- The best place to post this would be at the AFD - Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Nazo Dharejo - and I see that you've done that. This board is more for discussing the process of Articles for Deletion, and asking for help sorting out issues with the process. Debating the articles themselves and discussing their merits is done on the debate pages. Best, UltraExactZZ Said ~ Did 14:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
International Space Elevator Consortium
Can someone please have a look at this. It was closed, undone by an admin an an inappropriate NAC, then re-closed as the administrator was a contributor to the discussion so involved. The advice at WP:NACD seems to support both reopening it and reclosing it, and could perhaps be clarified.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 16:36, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
- Nevermind, it's now at deletion review. Probably should have thought of that myself.--JohnBlackburnewordsdeeds 16:37, 3 September 2015 (UTC)
Requested AFD nomination completion
I nominated Unsealed: Conspiracy Files for deletion as it was a conspiracy documentary series with little to no chance of notability. Can someone complete it for me? --189.25.205.234 (talk) 01:35, 4 September 2015 (UTC)
Automated alert system?
Is there any system for alerting users of and attracting them to deletion discussions, like how WP:FRS operates for RfCs? —烏Γ (kaw), 08:23, 11 September 2015 (UTC)
{{recap}} is nominated for deletion. This is an ancillary deletion template for processing long deletion discussions -- 70.51.202.113 (talk) 04:48, 12 September 2015 (UTC)
Nomination of Andrew Novell
I've put up Andrew Novell for deletion after WP:PROD was contested, could someone please complete the process? Rationale is noted on the talk page TIA, 85.178.217.32 (talk) 03:39, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Done Thanks to Huon for doing the deed. 85.178.217.32 (talk) 14:18, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
- I must admit I didn't see your comments on the talk page and nominated it independently. I obviously agree with your rationale. Huon (talk) 17:36, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
The acorn paradox
I've put up The acorn paradox for deletion after discovering that a previous WP:PROD was contested. Could someone please complete the process? Rationale is noted on the talk page. TIA 85.178.217.32 (talk) 18:47, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
Done Kindly completed by JohnCD. 85.178.217.32 (talk) 18:53, 13 September 2015 (UTC)
AfD nomination of Florent Bezara
I have put a tag on Florent Bezara and noted the justification for deletion on Talk:Florent Bezara. Could someone please complete the process for me? Thanks. 153.203.39.216 (talk) 03:27, 14 September 2015 (UTC)
