CZ:Proposed for deletion

When an article is proposed for deletion by placing {{PropDel}} at the top of its page, it is automatically categorised at Category:Articles for deletion. If immediate deletion is necessary – for example, the article is a hoax or a duplicate – that can be done by a sysop.

Normally, an article will remain under proposal for one month, allowing time for anyone who objects to raise an argument on the article's talk page. If an objection is raised, the nominator may withdraw the proposal by removing the template. If the nominator stilll thinks the article should be deleted, the matter will be decided following discussion by a consensus if possible. If there is no consensus, the article will be given the benefit of the doubt and retained. It may always be possible to adjust associated topics to work around the proposal.
