Wikipedia:Articles for deletion

出自維基百科，自由嘅百科全書

Articles for deletion (AfD) 係畀維基友傾吓一篇文係唔係有需要刪除。要刪嘅文至少要傾五日〔提議14-20日畀粵語維基〕，當維基社群有咗共識就可以開始（/啟動）刪文程序。頁面一係保留、同弟啲文合并或（同）彈去、跳維基 (搬到第二啲維基項目例如Wikimedia、Wikibooks、Wikisource、Wikiquote、Wiktionary等，或者第二話嘅維基百科，然后彈去或刪除——但注意唔好搬文去Wikitravel或Wikinews)、改名或搬走，亦可搬去作者嘅用戶頁或用戶頁嘅子頁、通過或刪文程序刪咗佢。

This article explains what you should consider before nominating, the steps for nominating single or multiple pages, and how to discuss an AfD. It also links to the list of articles currently under consideration, and to faster alternatives to AfD: two simpler companion processes, Wikipedia:Speedy deletions and Wikipedia:Proposed deletion, exist for the deletion of articles that are generally uncontroversial deletion candidates, such as vandalism, patent nonsense, and erroneously-created User pages.

If you want to nominate an article, the Wikipedia deletion policy explains the criteria for deletion and the guide to deletion may help you understand why an article has been nominated. Once that's done, see how to list pages for deletion.

[編輯] Before nominating an AfD

Template:IncGuide

Read and understand the Wikipedia deletion policy, which explains valid grounds for deletion.
Consider adding a tag such as {{cleanup}}, {{disputed}} or {{expert-subject}} instead; this may be preferable if the article has some useful content.
Consider making the page a useful redirect or proposing it be merged rather than deleted. Neither of these actions requires an AfD.
Click "what links here" in the article's sidebar, to see how the page is used and referenced within Wikipedia.
Check interwiki links to pages "in other languages" which may provide additional material for translation.
Read the article's talk page, which may provide reasons why the article should or should not be deleted.
Familiarize yourself with the frequently cited guidelines WP:BIO, WP:COI, WP:CORP, WP:MUSIC, WP:FICT, WP:RS, WP:WEB, and WP:NOT.
Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD.
Confirm that the article does not meet the criteria for Wikipedia:speedy deletions or Wikipedia:Proposed deletion.
If you expect that the AfD page will be edited by newcomers to Wikipedia (possibly because the article itself is linked from some visible place outside Wikipedia), or if you notice this happening after the AfD page is created, you might want to insert the {{Afdanons}} template into it.
Note that if you are editing under an IP address because you have not yet created a user account, you will not be able to complete the AfD process, as anonymous contributors are currently unable to create new pages (as required by step 2 of "How to list pages for deletion," below). If this is the case, consider creating a user account before listing an article on AfD.

[編輯] How to list pages for deletion

Template:AfD footer

It is generally considered civil to notify the good-faith creator and any main contributors of the articles that you are nominating for deletion. Do not notify bot accounts or people who have made only insignificant 'minor' edits. To find the main contributors, look in the page history or talk page of the article and/or use TDS' Article Contribution Counter. For your convenience, you may use {{subst:AFDWarningNew|Article title}} (for creators who are totally new users), {{subst:AFDWarning|Article title}} (for creators), or {{subst:Adw|Article title}} (for contributors or established users).
To avoid confusing newcomers, the reasons given for deletion should avoid Wikipedia-specific acronyms.
Place a notification on significant pages that link to your nomination, to enable those with related knowledge to participate in the debate.
If recommending that an article be speedily deleted, please give the criterion or criteria that it meets, such as "A7" or "biography not asserting importance".

[編輯] How to list multiple related pages for deletion

捷徑: WP:BUNDLE

Sometimes you will find a number of related articles, all of which you feel should be deleted together. To make it easier for those participating in the discussion, it may be helpful to bundle all of them together into a single nomination. However, for group nominations it is often a good idea to only list one article at afd and see how it goes, before listing an entire group.

Examples of when articles may be bundled into a single nomination:

An article about a band and three articles about its members, none of whom has done anything else notable outside of the band.
An article about a company/organization and a second article about its founder, who has done nothing else of note.
An article about a video game/book and related articles for characters within it.
An article about an album and related articles for its songs.
An article about any topic and other articles with the same content but with different titles.

If any of the articles you are considering for bundling could stand on its own merits, then it should be nominated separately. Or to put it more succinctly, if you are unsure of whether to bundle an article or not, don't.

To bundle articles for deletion, follow these steps:

I.

Nominate the first article for deletion.

Follow the steps as outlined above.

II.

Nominate the remaining articles.

On each of the remaining articles, at the top insert the following:

{{subst:afd1|PageName}}

Replace PageName with the name of the first page to be deleted, not the current page name. In other words, if Some article was the first article you nominated, replace PageName with Some article. As before, please include the word "AfD" in the edit summary and please do not mark the edit as minor. Save the page. Repeat for all articles to be bundled.

(If the article has been nominated before, use {{subst:afdx}} instead of {{subst:afd1}}, and replace "PageName" with the name of the page plus a note like "(second nomination)" for a second nomination, etc. See Template talk:Afdx for details.)

III.

Add the remaining articles to the nomination.

Go the first article's deletion discussion page,
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName, and add a note
under your original nomination listing all related pages, for example:

I am also nominating the following related pages because [insert reason here]:
:{{la|related article 1}}
:{{la|related article 2}}

In the edit summary, note that you are bundling related articles for deletion.

[編輯] AfD etiquette

Users participating in AfD discussions are expected to be familiar with the policies of Civility and Wikiquette and the guideline Don't bite the newbies.
- This also applies to the other deletion pages.
AfDs are public, and are sometimes quoted in the popular press. Please keep to public-facing levels of civility, just as you should for any edit you make to Wikipedia.
Avoid personal attacks against people who disagree with you; avoid the use of sarcastic language and stay cool.
Do not make unsourced negative comments about living people. These may be removed by any editor.
Remember that while AfD may look like a voting process, it does not operate like one. Justification and evidence for a response carries far more weight than the response itself. Thus, you should not attempt to structure the AfD process like a vote:
- Don't add tally boxes to the deletion page.
- Don't reorder comments on the deletion page to group them by keep/delete/other. Such reordering can disrupt the flow of discussion, polarize an issue, and emphasize vote count or word count.
- Do not message editors about AfD nominations because they support your view on the topic. This can be seen as votestacking. See Wikipedia:Canvassing for guidelines.

[編輯] How to discuss an AfD/Wikietiquette

The debate is not a vote; please make recommendations on the course of action to be taken, sustained by arguments.
Please have a look at the article before making a recommendation. Do not base your recommendation solely on the information supplied by the nominator. For understanding the situation it may also help to look at the history of the article.
Also, please read the earlier comments and recommendations. They may contain relevant arguments and further useful information.
Start your comments or recommendations on a new bulleted line (that is, starting with *), and sign them by adding ~~~~ to the end. If you are responding to another editor, put your comment directly below theirs, making sure it is indented (using multiple bullets).
Please disclose whether you are an article's primary author or if you otherwise have a vested interest in the article.
Unregistered or new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their recommendations may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith (for example, if they misrepresent their reasons). Conversely, the opinions of logged in users whose accounts predate the article's AfD nomination are given more weight.
Multiple recommendations by users shown to be using "sock puppets" (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) will be discounted.
Usually editors recommend a course of action in bold text, e.g., "Keep" or "Delete".
Please make only one recommendation; if you change your mind, modify your original recommendation rather than adding a new one. The recommended way of doing this is to use strike-through by enclosing a retracted statement between <s> and </s>, as in "~~Delete~~ Speedy keep".
Arguments commonly used to recommend deletion are: "unverifiable" (violates WP:V), "original research" (violates WP:NOR), and "non-notable" in cases where the subject does not meet their respective notability criteria. (In the cases of non-notable biographical articles, it is better to say "does not meet WP:BIO" to avoid insulting the subject.) The accusation "VANITY" should be avoided [1], and is not in itself a reason for deletion. The argument "non-neutral point of view" (violates WP:NPOV) is often used, but often such articles can be salvaged, so this is not a very strong reason for deletion either.
If you wish for an article to be kept, you can improve the article to address the reasons for deletion given in the nomination. You can search out references, and diffuse the deletion arguments given using policy, guidelines, and examples from our good and featured articles. If the reasons given in the nomination are addressed by editing, the nomination should be withdrawn by the nominator, and the deletion discussion will be closed by an admin.
Try to avoid contradictory or confusing recommendations, such as delete and merge.

You don't have to make a recommendation on every nomination; consider not participating if:

A nomination involves a topic with which you are unfamiliar.
You agree with the consensus that has already been formed.

Please see Wikipedia:Notability. Also, Wikipedia:Non-notability and this discussion on the talk page of Wikipedia:Deletion Policy regarding notability may be useful.

[編輯] What to do after an AfD discussion has passed with a confirmation?

Nothing. If the discussion has been listed according to the rules above, at the end of the discussion period (about five days), it will always be closed within a few more days at most. Asking for someone to close the discussion is unnecessary.
