Wiktionary:Requests for deletion

From Wiktionary
(Redirected from Wiktionary:RFD)
Shortcut:
WT:RFD

This page is for deletion requests, for when you think a page should be deleted. See our deletion rules for more information. Old requests can be found here.

Listing for deletion

[change]

Start each deletion request with a link to the page (put the page name in brackets: [[like this]] = like this), then with your reason(s) the page should be deleted. Sign and date your deletion request automatically with ~~~~ (four tildes).

Quick deletion

[change]

Remember to put {{delete|reason}} at the top of a page for quick deletion requests ("reason" should be replaced by your reason for the request):

This type of deletion request does not need to be listed on this page.

Regular deletion

[change]

For regular requests, put {{delreq|reason}} at the top of a page, and list it here under "Deletion requests". That template will add this:

Not all deletion requests are listed here. There are probably more in Category:Deletion requests.

An example entry:

===[[genericwordtobedeleted]]===
This entry is redundant, not notable, and all in all one that doesn't belong in a dictionary.  -- ~~~~
*'''Delete'''.  -- ~~~~

Voting on deletion requests

[change]

If you wish to vote on a deletion, give your vote (delete, keep, move, comment, etc.), your reason(s), and your signature as above. One vote per username will be counted on each request. Creating a second account to vote more than once is called creating a sockpuppet. While you may create as many accounts as you want, the same person will not be allowed to vote more than once, even if he or she uses a different account. The same person may comment on a single request as much as he or she wishes.

Quick deletion requests

[change]

This section is for pages that should be quickly deleted. Few pages belong in this section. If a page should be quickly deleted, putting {{delete}} at the top of the page is enough. Most pages should be discussed in the next section before being deleted. Only copyright violations, vandalism, etc. should be listed here.

Deletion requests

[change]
Pages are deleted if there is no opposition to the request after 7 days

Doesn't seem to be a valid word and out of scope. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Seems like a valid transliteration as per en:w:Brahmamuhurta. But is it still within scope considering that our scope are English words? --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 13:37, 9 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sum of parts. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

African American is also a sum of African and American if you seriously think about it. Yongdrag (talk) 08:13, 18 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Sum of parts. --Min☠︎rax«¦talk¦» 03:21, 3 August 2025 (UTC)[reply]
