[edit] Need for stronger request for reasons

In case any one does watch this page, please see Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard#CAT:CSD. Dragons flight 22:32, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] suggestions

Is there a way to change this template to clarify that the person adding it should NOT remove the dletion tag? I can't find the text/code for that in the template. Thanks! Avraham 08:03, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Still new?

The "Please note:" at the top of this page refers to a "new" template. Is an update of that note in order? (SEWilco 05:10, 20 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Instructions

There should be usage instructions so people don't have to read the template code to know how to use it. (SEWilco 05:12, 20 December 2006 (UTC))

[edit] Delete this template?

I've had several admins remove this tag from articles because, in short, they say its use isn't permitted. Is this an outlaw template? Should it be deleted? If not, then what exactly is its appropriate use? Rklawton 15:13, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

  • I've nominated it here. --NMChico24 01:41, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I don't think you guys understand.. the use of this template is not "outlawed" at all, but rather if you use it you still have to note what part of WP:CSD it falls under, manually, rather than using a specific template. -- Ned Scott 02:04, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
      • I agree that this template is not outlawed, however it is superfluous and normally used for inappropriate purposes. Every single CSD guideline has a corresponding template, so use of this template is completely unnecessary. --NMChico24 02:06, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
        • I found out about this because of my uses of it today, all of which cited a reason on WP:CSD. A great deal of editors use {{db|reason}} for simplicity, as well as several other deletion instructions. This is something to bring up on WP:CSD before taking the template to WP:TFD. -- Ned Scott 02:17, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Delete

I'm in favor of deletion. Talk pages are allowed in the case where the serve to assist in the creation of a better article on a notable subject. They assist greatly in the creation of new articles. Mathiastck 15:16, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

Hehe oops I think I'm on the wrong talk pages. Mathiastck
