Wikipedia:Deletion policy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Undeletion

See the Wikipedia:Deletion log for pages that have been recently deleted. See Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion if you are concerned that a page may have been wrongly deleted.

To request that a page (or image) be restored,

  • Place the page title on Wikipedia:Votes for undeletion, with the reason why you think it should be deleted
  • It will remain there for a period of ten days, giving other users the chance to agree with the undeletion nomination or to object.
A user's opinion will be counted if that user:
  • has been in existence at least one week before the listing, and
  • has at least 25 non-minor article edits logged
Regardless of the above requirements, the page's initial author may vote (once).
  • If at any time prior to ten days elapsing, at least 3 people currently want to undelete and a majority are currently in favor of undeletion, the page may be undeleted by a sysop. If ten days elapse and fewer than 3 people or a majority want to undelete, the page remains deleted. When a sysop undeletes an article, they should list the article on Wikipedia:Votes for deletion. Further discussion can take place on the votes for deletion page, and after about a week the undeleted page will either be deleted again, or left undeleted. (But see the talk page for discussion on whether this will happen for all users).
