'''WikiProject Deletion sorting''' collects [[Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion|articles for deletion]] discussions into lists by topic, so that editors can quickly find and join the discussions that match their interests. It is a sorting system only: the discussions themselves still take place on their own pages, and the outcome is decided there, not on these lists.

== How it works ==

Sorting a discussion takes two steps:

# '''Add the notice to the discussion.''' At the end of the nomination on the discussion page, add: '''<code><nowiki>{{subst:delsort|Topic}}</nowiki></code>''' (for example <code><nowiki>{{subst:delsort|Schools}}</nowiki></code>). This adds a note to the discussion saying it has been included in that topic's list. Twinkle users can add the notice while nominating.
# '''Add the discussion to the list.''' On the topic list page (for example [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools]]), add the discussion at the top of the "Articles for deletion" section by transcluding it: '''<code><nowiki>{{Bharatpedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}</nowiki></code>'''

When a discussion is closed, its entry is removed from the list.

== Topic lists ==

* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Schools|Schools]] – schools, colleges and other educational institutions
* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/People|People]] – biographies and other articles about individual people
* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Companies|Companies]] – companies and businesses
* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Organisations|Organisations]] – organisations, institutions and groups that are not companies
* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Films|Films]] – films and film-related articles

== Geography lists ==

* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Assam|Assam]]
* [[Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Bihar|Bihar]]

== Adding a new list ==

If a topic needs its own list, create the page '''Bharatpedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/''Topic''''' with the same layout as the existing lists (an introduction line, an "Articles for deletion" section, and the category <code><nowiki>[[Category:Bharatpedia deletion sorting|Topic]]</nowiki></code> at the end), and add a link to it on this page so that other editors can find it.
