Template:Delete

Note Before listing an article for deletion, consider other alternatives as appropriate: As a community resource as long as pages follow our standards they are usually appropriate, however they may be in the wrong place or not ready and might be moved elsewhere. An article may instead be more appropriately merged with another article. Articles that are a stub or need improvement should be categorized as such, however Be Bold. It may be worth merging some minor articles into sections on a major article. Duplicate articles should be checked for unique information and are usually better merged. Redirects often have their use, double redirects typically do not. If appropriate, when marking an article for deletion, you should also inform the author as well as post why on the discussion page. A WikiMod will review the discussion to take action later.
