Wikipedia:Deletion reform

As a method of allowing ordinary editors to still participate in this exclusive activity, the Votes for Deletion (VfD) system, now renamed as Articles for Deletion(AfD), evolved. This is a forum (now a series of forums based on types of pages), where anyone can suggest pages be deleted, and others agree or disagree.

works on the system that one user lists the page he wants deleted on a subpage of the main deletion page, he puts a template on the page specifying that the page is under consideration for deletion and then a vote/discussion takes place where a consensus decision is attempted. Eventually, an admin reviews the whole discussion, and may delete the page.

These are areas being brainstormed by the community. They are not complete, specific proposals, nor are they necessarily mutually exclusive, but categories for ideas.

These are the proposals that are or were active, as of March 2006.

These proposals have either been inactive for a few weeks or have been specifically withdrawn.

If you wish to make general comments or participate in the discussion, you can do so here. If you wish to comment on a proposal, please do so at the page relevant to the proposal in question.
