Category:Deletion Requests

Add the Deletion Request flag to a page or a section of a page that needs to be deleted for reasons other than inappropriate content issues. See the FamilySearch Wiki Policies page (items 28-31) and the Guiding Principles page for details about the Deletion policies and content guidelines.

Instructions

 * Add a delete request template to a page by typing Delete
 * When the Delete template is added to a page, the user should also add a note to explain why the page or section should be deleted.
 * Sections of a page/article could have the Delete template, or the template could be added for the whole page. Only the section(s) tagged with the Delete template should be deleted.
