Please do not write in this. I am only doing this here for a demonstration to users who have never before did any AFD discussions.

All votes should be in boldline (three apostrophes ['] on each end):

'''Keep''' for all those who decided against the article's removal. Be sure to include your supporting points such as that of notability or guarentee of enhancement and/or cleanup. If agreeing with another person, you may just write messages like "per nom," "as per nom," or "per (agreeing user's name [bound with double brackets ([[]])])" -- Signature and date (PDT)
* '''Comment''' For those who argue one's point of view. As in any vote, an explanation wouldn't bite. And before you do comments, place an asterisk (*) and a space before your first letter. -- Signature and date (PDT) (and dates are day, month, year, time)

'''Delete''' for all those who decided for the article's removal. Include GOOD reasons why the articles should be deleted (we've had a few AFD'd animation articles protected under [[Cicierega's First Law]]). You can also agree with those you agree with (ah, you know: all this "per nom" stuff). -- Signature and date (PDT)

'''No vote''' for all those who can't decide what the fate of the article should be... yet. They could do a few comments regarding the article's material. The person may also '''Abstain''', in which he wouldn't vote. -- Signature and date (PDT)

Examples:

'''Keep''' Because there is plenty of information. It just would use a good cleaning. -- Bob. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)
* '''Comment''' Most of the information is crap, and doesn't cover the important thing. -- Chuck Norris. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)

'''Keep''' as per Bob. -- Weebl. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)

'''Delete'''. As much as this article has some interesting information around here, most of it is just fluff, fluff, FLUFF. In fact so much fluff I would have killed you with my roundhouse kick (please don't make comments like that). Far less importance than necessary. -- Chuck Norris. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)

'''No Vote'''. Despite some complaints that most of the article is full of crap, it has some pretty valuable information and a good share of crap. Not to mention the references are nice, but is horribly written. I will reconsider later. -- The Neverman. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)

'''Abstain'''. I would much rather avoid such an article. Causes flamewars. -- Santa Claus. 13 Neveruary Never Never:Never (PDT)

All this is a demonstration. On the date, never say never. Just do the right numbers and month name. How to do the signature: 
* Write your user accounts link (for example - User:Bob) 
* Put a line (|) after your username 
* Write anything you wish, like what you prefer to be called 
* Put double brackets ([[]]) around all that 
* You could skip steps 2 and 3 if you wish, but many people use those 

Thus concludes the tutorial of how to vote in AFD article talks. Thank you! -- [[User:Neryon|Wartys Neryon]] 2 August 2006 20:48 (PDT)

	An easier way to do all that is by using three tildes (Shift+weird key in the top left) for your name, and four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>) for your name plus a timestamp. If you want to have an alternate name, write a signature template and use double hook-bracket thingies ({{}}) to say something like this: ({{Weebl/sig}}). Hope this helps!

		+	And if possible, you can '''Recall''' your vote to some other thing if you found one observation stronger than what you hold. The only way a recall does not have to be used is if you used the '''No Vote''' before. You may never recall to '''Abstain''', because you already voted.
