This page you can use to vote for deletion of a page you've seen on the Chat4All wiki pages

How to use :

  • you Post the internal link with [[ pagename ]] and followed by the reason you want to see it deleted and at the end you put 4 ~ (like this ~~~~ )

To list a page named PageName for deletion:

   (wherever PageName occurs below, use the name of the page to be deleted instead.)
  1. Edit the page you want to delete, insert {{subst:vfd}} (not just Template:Vfd) at the top of that page, and save page.
  2. Follow the "this page's entry" link to Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/PageName and add a (crucial) link and sub-section heading:
         ===PageName===
  3. Under the section, describe, in accordance with our deletion policy, why the page should be deleted. Don't forget to sign and datestamp (using Jay 02:28, 23 Nov 2004 (CET)).
  4. Save page.
  5. Come back to this page and copy the following text:
         Template:Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/PageName
  6. Edit this page, using this edit link (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Wikipedia:Votes_for_deletion&action=edit), or the button at the top of this page, or the "[edit]" link beside the heading with today's date, but never the "[edit]" link beside another VfD-ed page's heading (those headings are included from a template, so you would be editing the wrong page); paste the copied text below the last VfD-ed page's Template:Wikipedia... call.
  7. Don't forget to replace PageName with the name of the page that you are proposing for deletion.
  8. As a courtesy, use PageName as the edit summary, so people can go directly to the article instead of having to load all of VfD.
  9. Save page.
