Template:Article for deletion/dated/doc

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This template is used to nominate an article for deletion at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion.

Do not use this template directly. Instead, use this code:

{{subst:afd}}

The {{afd}} template will automatically transclude this template once it has been substituted.

Better yet, use Twinkle to nominate articles for deletion, since the nomination process has several other steps as well (creating the deletion discussion page, adding it to the daily log pages, adding it to the deletion sorting pages maintained by Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting.
