Category:Deletion requests

The pages here have been marked to request deletion either by a bot or human.

When adding this category to a page, do not make other changes to the page, such as blanking it or removing a redirect. In particular, if the page is a redirect, leave the redirect in place until it is deleted.

If you are deleting these files, watch out for redirects. It may be the redirect, rather than the actual page, that was requested for deletion. Redirect pages are shown in italics.

Whether you are requesting or performing the deletion, be sure to first use the "What Links Here" tool (and for files, the "File Usage" section on the file page) to make sure the page is not referenced anywhere else. (It is fine if some talk pages still reference it.)

Subcategories listed here are also deletion requests to delete said category. Occasionally, they may also be requests to delete every article in the category, in which case that should be done first before deleting the category. This will be mentioned on the category page if it is the case. Note that categories should generally not be deleted if they contain any articles – in that case it may be better to either remove the deletion request, or open a discussion on the topic.
