[edit] Instructions

Expand this section for transwiki cleanup instructions

There are three possible routes for an article after a transwiki. After you have checked any of the following articles and ensured one of these steps has been taken, be sure to remove the tag that put it in this category and, if applicable for a kept article, consider putting a {{wiktionary}} tag.

Contents

[edit] (1.) Send to AfD/Use Proposed Deletion

  1. The article may be submitted for deletion. Either submit it to AfD or use the Proposed deletion tag, if there is no possible redirect for the article (see route #2) and it has no potential for encyclopedic growth (#3). Follow the normal deletion procedure.
  2. Or, if an article has already been discussed on AfD, and the outcome was to transwiki, then it doesn't have to be discussed again but can simply be deleted (WP:CSD A5).

[edit] (2.) Create a redirect

See Wikipedia:Redirect, Wikipedia:Merge, Wikipedia:Duplicate articles

If the information in the article would be more appropriate as part of another article, you can Merge and Redirect. If the information in the article already exists in another article, or if the title of the article could reasonably be considered a useable term by which a user would search for information, you can simply create a Redirect. If the topic is overly specific, and therefore has very little potential for growth, it is preferable to redirect the transwikied article to a more general article.

[edit] (3.) Expand the article

See Wikipedia:How to edit a page

Of course if the article has an obvious potential for encyclopedic growth, and has a conventional name, then you can help by expanding it! If an article is fine the way it is, then no cleanup is necessary, remove the TWCleanup tag from the article.
