Category talk:Articles marked for deletion

[edit] general guidelines

I had written this line

this page should contain some guidelines for authors and censors, so that it is clear what is the kind of content that will be marked for deletion

on the page Category:Articles marked for deletion and it was removed and I was asked to put discussion about deletion in the Talk, that is: here. obviously each deletion has to be discussed, but I'm looking for some general guidelines that will help me write things which will not be removed from this wiki. what is accepted and what can be expected to be marked for removal. where can I find these guidelines? I thougth Category:Articles marked for deletion would be the best place for it, since I will be pointed to this page if my page is marked for deletion.

by the way, is it possible, when adding a comment, to have it automatically signed? user:mfrasca

No, sign with —~~~~. This is a very new wiki, deletion guidelines don't develop overnight. At the moment, it would be a consensus issue. So, if somebody proposes deleting a page and most of the people who respond agree with that proposal, then the page is deleted. With your case in particular, the two biggest issues are style and formatting (no capitalization? C'mon now. . . .), and the suitability of the content. —GeneralAntilles 10:36, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
