විකිපීඩියා:යෝජිත මකාදැමීම

නම යෝජනා කිරීම පෙර:

1. Consider your මකා දැමීම සඳහා හේතු and මකා දැමීම සඳහා විකල්ප, including whether or not merging the article elsewhere or making it a redirect are more appropriate than deletion.
2. Review the article's history to confirm that it has not been recently vandalized.
3. Confirm that the article is eligible for proposed deletion by checking that it has:
   • not previously been proposed for deletion.
   • not been undeleted.
   • not been and is not being discussed at AfD.
4. Note that only articles, lists, and disambiguation pages may be deleted using the Proposed deletion process.^[1]

නම යෝජනා කිරීම:

1. Add the {{subst:proposed deletion|concern= reason for proposed deletion}} to the top of the main article page to nominate the article, and provide a clear and non-generic reason. To aid deletion sorting, indicating the article's general subject area or what notability guidelines it falls under is considered good practice. Make sure to provide an edit summary that clearly indicates that the article has been proposed for deletion. Do not mark the edit as minor.
2. Consider adding an {{Old prod full}} tag to the article's talk page.^[2]
3. Consider adding the article to your watchlist.
4. The article's creator or other significant contributors should ideally be left a message at their talk page(s) informing them of the proposed article deletion, except for cases where contributors are no longer regarded as active editors on Wikipedia. This should be done by adding the {{subst:PRODWarning|Name of Article‎}} tag, or other appropriate text. Prodding an article via Twinkle will automatically inform the article's creator.

To second a proposed deletion:

1. Consider adding a {{Prod-2}} tag to indicate your opinion.^[3]
2. Consider adding or modifying an {{Old prod full}} tag to the article's talk page.

To object to and therefore permanently prevent a proposed deletion, remove the {{proposed deletion}} tag from the article. You are encouraged, but not required, to also:

1. Explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion, either in the edit summary or on the talk page.
2. Consider notifying the editors involved in the PROD by placing a {{Deprod}} tag on their user talk page.
3. Add or modify an {{Old prod full}} tag on the article's talk page, to prevent renomination under Proposed deletion. It will then be listed at Category:Past Proposed Deletion Candidates for easy tracking.
4. Consider improving the article to address the concerns raised.

If anyone, including the article creator, removes a {{proposed deletion}} tag from an article, do not replace it, even if the tag was apparently removed in bad faith. This excludes removals that are clearly not an objection to deletion, such as page blanking or obvious vandalism. If you still believe that the article needs to be deleted, or that the article should be deleted but with discussion, list it on Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.^[4]

If the article has already been deleted, please go to Requests for undeletion.

Before deletion, administrators should check the article, its history, and deletion log to confirm that:

1. The {{proposed deletion}} tag has been in place continuously for at least 7 days
2. No objections have been raised on the talk page.
3. The article is eligible for proposed deletion: the page is not a redirect, never previously proposed for deletion, never undeleted, and never discussed at AfD.

If you decide to delete the article, provide an informative deletion reason, such as that given by the nominator or editor who clarified the nominator's reason – not just "expired prod". Once the article is deleted, the reason for the {{proposed deletion}} can only be seen by administrators. If you are using an automated script, make sure it leaves an adequate message. To ensure independent judgment, an article should not be deleted by the same person who added the {{proposed deletion}} tag.

If you decide not to delete the article, consider editing it to deal with the concerns raised, or nominating the article for deletion on AfD. You should document that it has been contested with an {{Old prod full}} on the article's Talk page.

A new sticky prod process was established on April 3, 2010, requiring all biographies of living people (BLP) created after March 18, 2010 to have at least one reliable source that supports a statement about the subject, or it can be proposed for deletion. The prod tag may not be removed until such a source is added, and if none is forthcoming within ten days the article may be deleted. This does not affect the regular prod process, which may still be used on BLPs, including BLPs from which the sticky prod has been legitimately removed.
