Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template marks the top of a closed Articles for deletion discussion. It is used together with {{Afd bottom}}, which is placed at the very end of the discussion.

Usage

When closing a discussion, add this template at the very top of the discussion page, and substitute it:

{{subst:Afd top|result}}

The single parameter is the result of the discussion, for example:

{{subst:Afd top|Keep}}

The named form gives the same output:

{{subst:Afd top|result=Delete}}

Add your closing statement and signature at the end of the discussion, and then place {{subst:Afd bottom}} below it.

Standard results

Use one of the standard outcomes, so that closed discussions read consistently:

  • Keep
  • Delete
  • Merge, naming the article the content is merged into
  • Redirect, naming the target article
  • No consensus
  • Speedy keep or Speedy delete, where a speedy criterion clearly applied

After closing

  • Carry out the result: delete the article, or remove its deletion notice if the result is keep.
  • If the discussion was added to a deletion sorting list, remove it from that list.
  • Do not edit the discussion further once it is closed. Anyone who disagrees with a closure can take it to Bharatpedia:Deletion review.
