[edit] Shunan English School

Hello. The {{deletion}} template tag you placed on Shunan English School is not what you want, as it places a box list of deletion tools in the article content. You may wish to read the Wikipedia:Guide to deletion to understand the process for getting an existing article deleted before proceeding further.

Since the article is a (more or less) coherent article about a school, it probably does not meet any of the criteria for speedy delete. You could try tagging with one of the speedy delete tags if you find any criteria which you think fits, but it seems unlikely (to me) that an administrator would agree. I could be wrong, some adminstrators are more liberal in their interpretations of the criteria than others.

As an alternate to a speedy delete, you might try proposing a deletion. Here again, it is not a sure thing that an administrator will agree that the deletion is noncontroversial. Or another editor may object, leading to a failed PROD.

If a speedy delete is declined, a proposed deletion fails, or you simply feel that the deletion is sufficiently controversial that you want to skip to the final process, you will need to go to Articles for deletion. There the article's deletion is considered by a number of editors who try to reach consensus for a final decision to keep or delete. Unfortunately, this process is more involved than simple tagging and you need to read closely on how to list an article at AfD, as the actual instructions are buried in the middle of the page. If you have trouble following the directions, Template:AfD footer breaks out the exact steps you need to follow.
