Any user can delete content by editing a page. The content will still be available in the page history. Administrators can delete articles so they are no longer viewable by non-admins. Before you delete anything, please note that it is often a mistake to delete content.

Requesting deletion of a page

There are four ways to propose a page for deletion:

1. If the page is a candidate for speedy deletion (CSD), add {{delete}} or {{d}}.
2. If the page is not a CSD and the reason for deleting it is short, add {{proposed deletion because|reason}} or {{prod because|reason}} (replacing "reason" with the reason it should be deleted.
3. If the page is not a CSD and needs a longer explanation for the proposed deletion, add {{proposed deletion}} or {{prod}} to the page and explain the reason on the talk page.
4. If the page is a potential copyright violation, add {{copyvio|http://example.com}} (replacing "example.com" with the site the page or image appears to be taken from, if it is known)

For non-speedy, non-copyvio candidates, the pages should be kept for around a week before being deleted, to allow for discussion and consensus-forming.
