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

'''Keep''' for those who disagree with the article's removal. Be sure to include your supporting points such as that of notability or guarantee 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)". --(signature)
 +
* '''Comment''' For those who argue one's point of view.  As in any vote, an explanation is encouraged.  When commenting on another user's vote, be sure to indent it using an asterisk (*), multiple ones if you are replying to another user's comment (to indicate which comment you are replying to).  --(signature)

'''Keep''' for all those who decided against the article's removal.  Be sure to include your supporting points such as that of notability or guarantee of enhancement and/or cleanup.

'''Delete''' for all those who agree with the article's removal.  Include GOOD reasons why the article should be deleted - [[Cicierega's First Law]] may be used to protect animutations which would otherwise be deleted. As with '''Keep''' messages, you may also agree with other deletion votes in the same manner. --(signature)
−
* '''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)
+
* '''Recall''' for those who, upon closer investigation, which to change their previous vote. For consistency, Recall votes should be entered as replies to one's original vote. Decisions of '''No Vote''' need not be recalled, and '''Abstain''' votes may not be recalled. --(signature)

'''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 those who have not ''yet'' decided whether the article should be kept or deleted. The user's rationale for not yet voting should be explained. --(signature)
  
−
'''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)

'''Abstain''' for those who have researched the issue and wish to state explicitly that they are neutral to the decision.  --(signature)

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.

Revision as of 07:15, 6 June 2007

This is an archive of a completed AFD discussion. Please DO NOT edit it.

This is a demonstration to users on how to participate in AfD discussions - please do not add comments.

All votes should be in boldline (e.g. '''Vote'''):

Keep for those who disagree with the article's removal. Be sure to include your supporting points such as that of notability or guarantee 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)". --(signature)

  • Comment For those who argue one's point of view. As in any vote, an explanation is encouraged. When commenting on another user's vote, be sure to indent it using an asterisk (*), multiple ones if you are replying to another user's comment (to indicate which comment you are replying to). --(signature)

Delete for all those who agree with the article's removal. Include GOOD reasons why the article should be deleted - Cicierega's First Law may be used to protect animutations which would otherwise be deleted. As with Keep messages, you may also agree with other deletion votes in the same manner. --(signature)

  • Recall for those who, upon closer investigation, which to change their previous vote. For consistency, Recall votes should be entered as replies to one's original vote. Decisions of No Vote need not be recalled, and Abstain votes may not be recalled. --(signature)

No vote for those who have not yet decided whether the article should be kept or deleted. The user's rationale for not yet voting should be explained. --(signature)

Abstain for those who have researched the issue and wish to state explicitly that they are neutral to the decision. --(signature)


To insert a signature, simply type ~~~~ (that is, four tilde characters). This will automatically insert a link to your user page and specify the exact date and time at which you posted your comment.

Examples:

Keep Because there is plenty of information. It just would use a good cleaning. --Bob 09:16, 13 Oct 2006 (CST)

Keep as per Bob. --Weebl 10:28, 13 Oct 2006 (CST)

  • Recall past vote to Delete. I found out that most of it is linked to spam. --Weebl 08:57, 14 Oct 2006 (CST)

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 12:07, 13 Oct 2006 (CST)

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 17:34, 13 Oct 2006 (CST)
