Proposed deletion (PROD) is a method of proposing a page for uncontroversial deletion. It sits between the regular deletion process and the speedy deletion process. There are five main criteria for proposed deletions:
I
|
Abandoned articles are unpublished articles that have not been edited for four days. They should be marked with {{subst:aband}} and deleted two days later, if no other edits have been made since then. Removing the Abandoned template does not count as an edit for this purpose unless bundled with another change.
|
II
|
Copyright violations should be marked with {{copyvio}} and deleted one day later, if a non-copyvio version is not started.
|
III
|
Minimal articles are articles that are less than three sentences long. They should be tagged with {{minimal}} and deleted three days later, if the article is not expanded.
|
IV
|
Press releases should be marked with {{press release}} and deleted after three days, if it is not rewritten to Wikinews standards such as neutral. If the press release is copyrighted it should be listed as a {{copyvio}}.
|
V
|
Prepared articles that are either unsourced or largely unsourced should be marked with {{subst:unprep}} and deleted ten days later, if the problem has not been addressed.
|
NOTE
|
Duplicate articles are not candidates for proposed deletion; instead, they may be merged and made into redirects to the superior article.
