How do you delete articles?

Hi, JakeTheBlake. The procedure for deletions is explained at Wikipedia:Deletion policy. Articles that should be deleted are most commonly nominated at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion. Hope this helps. —Xhantar^Talk 19:18, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

How do you delete articles?

Hi JakeTheBlake. Only administrators can actually delete artices, but any editor can propose an article for deletion. The details are at Wikipedia:Deletion policy. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 19:17, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

To be an admin you should have been around a while and shown that you are familiar with most of Wikipedia's policies and processes. I wouldn't recommend you try just yet. You can find out more at Wikipedia:Administrators. But, like I say, you don't have to be administrator to propose that an article is deleted - just pick which of the three deletion methods would be appropriate, and follow the instructions. You can reply here. -- zzuuzz^(talk) 19:28, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
