This page is a central location to coordinate the review and deletion of old declined AfC submissions that meet certain criteria. It exists to facilitate implementation of the consensus reached here.

Criteria edit

An AfC submission page may be deleted under speedy deletion criterion G6 (routine housekeeping) if and only if it meets the following criteria:

  1. It is a single-article submission page and not a daily log page;
  2. It contains a declined AfC submission and is categorized in Category:Declined AfC submissions;
  3. It was declined at least six months ago; and
  4. It was declined for one of the following reasons, and the reason should be noted in the deletion summary:
    1. Certain general speedy deletion criteria
      1. Nonsense (corresponds to criterion G1)
      2. Test page (corresponds to criterion G2)
      3. Vandalism or a blatant hoax (corresponds to criterion G3)
      4. Attack page (corresponds to criterion G10)
      5. Unambiguous advertising or promotion (corresponds to criterion G11)
      6. Copyright infringement (corresponds to criterion G12)
    2. Certain article speedy deletion criteria
      1. No context (corresponds to criterion A1)
      2. No content (corresponds to criterion A3)
      3. Duplicates an existing article (corresponds to criterion A10)
    3. Other criteria
      1. Humorous, not factual

AfC submission pages that contain harmful content and meet one of the general speedy deletion criteria, such as vandalism, attack pages, and copyright violations, may be deleted under the appropriate general speedy deletion criteria.

Requests for deletion edit

Option 1 edit

Any editor who finds an AfC submission page that meets the criteria for deletion listed above but is unable (i.e., any editor who is not an administrator) or unwilling to personally delete that page, or who would like a second opinion about whether a page meets the criteria, may list the page for deletion in this section. Please use this page to request deletion of AfC submission pages in lieu of speedy deletion tags so as not to inundate Category:Candidates for speedy deletion with AfC submission pages.

After a page is listed here, it may be deleted at any time once it is confirmed to meet the criteria above.

Option 2 edit

Please list any AfC submission pages that meet the criteria for deletion indicated above in this section. If no editor objects to the proposed deletion with 48 hours, the page may be deleted by any administrator.
