Template:AFDNote
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
[edit] AfD nomination of {{{1}}}
An editor has nominated [[{{{1}}}]], an article which you have created or worked on, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/{{{1}}}]] and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you.
This template is intended to be placed on a user talk page to warn the creator of or a principal contributor to an article that such article has been nominated for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion by another editor.
To use, append {{subst:AFDNote|Name of nominated page(s)}} to a user talk page; a section heading will be automatically created. The template should always be substituted lest attempted replies should modify the template page; editors are encouraged to modify substituted templates to suit unique circumstances. If the name of an AfD discussion differs from the name of the article nominated (in the case, for instance, of a successive or bundled nomination), you may specify a second parameter: {{subst:AFDNote|Name of nominated page|Name of AfD page}}.
Warning: Aggressive use of this template may be seen as canvassing, which is disruptive and may lead to the canvasser's being blocked.
