Template documentationUsage
Use this template to request speedy deletion of a page on Wikinews. Type {{delete|<reason>}} to nominate it for deletion. For controversial requests, use WN:DR or WN:PROD.
Parameters
This template accepts certain parameters. You're requested to use them wherever possible, in order to maintain a standardised message.
| no content | No meaningful content or history/patent nonsense/Not news (CSD A1) | edit |
|---|---|---|
| test page | Test page (CSD A2) | edit |
| vandalism | Pure vandalism (CSD A3) | edit |
| short article | Very short article with no context (CSD A4)
What does this mean? Thank you for contributing to Wikinews. However, this article has a problem: we're not sure what it is about, or it is too short to be meaningful. Don't worry, it's easily fixable: why not do us a favour by expanding the article a bit more, adding a bit more context as to what the article is about? |
edit |
| paste | Clean up of cut/paste move (CSD A5)
What does this mean? Due to licencing issues, pages on Wikinews must be attributed. All pages on Wikinews (including this one) have a list of all edits made by users. Copy/pasting articles disassociates the history page from its article, and is discouraged. Instead, everyone who has an account that is older than four days can move articles whilst keeping the history page intact. If your account isn't old enough, don't worry. Just leave a note on this page and someone will help you. |
edit |
| spam | Advertising or spam (CSD A6) | edit |
| author | Author request (CSD A7) | edit |
| hoax | Obvious hoax or other work of fiction (CSD A8) | edit |
| undelete | Recreation of deleted content (CSD A9)
What does this mean? Pages on Wikinews are sometimes deleted by due process. It is bad practice to recreate an article that was previously deleted; if you think the previous deletion is wrong, you should follow the undeletion procedure so that previous page histories are preserved. |
edit |
| not english | Article is not in English. The author may wish to look for another language project more suitable. (CSD A10)
What does this mean? This is English-language Wikinews, and so we only can accept articles written in English, but Wikinews has projects in many languages. You may be more suited to contribute at a different language project; to start an article in another language, select one below: العربية · български · bosanski · català · čeština · Deutsch · Esperanto · español · فارسی · suomi · français · עברית · italiano · 日本語 · 한국어 · norsk · polski · português · română · русский · српски / srpski · தமிழ் · ไทย · Türkçe · українська · 中文 |

| copyvio | Obvious copyright violation. Consider using {{copyvio}} instead of this template. (CSD A11) | edit |
| out of scope | Out of project scope (CSD A12)
What does this mean? Wikinews is primarily an online news source. As such, articles that are not obviously news, or would be more suited to a sister project (such as Wikipedia), may be deleted. Please edit this page into something more like a news article. |
