1. Read: Bubblegum Wiki:Deletion Policy

2. When adding an article to VFD, place {{vfd}} at the end of the article to mark it nominated for deletion.

2.1. Votes on unmarked articles may be invalidated, and that ticks me off.; please make sure that you place {{vfd}} on all articles put up for voting.

3. Sign your votes and edits! Use --~~~~ or the "Sign" button (File:Button sig.png). Signed votes are more credible.

3.1. Multiple votes on the same entry from one person (using sockpuppet accounts) is a bannable offense.

3.1.1. No, really, it is, and it doesn't matter how 1337 U R, it's really bloody obvious.

3.2. MAKE SURE YOUR VOTES ARE CLEAR. Please put your vote in bold text. Make all the witty comments you want, just make sure your vote is visible and not explicit.

3.3. Please use bullets * at the start of your comment for the sake of organization.

4. For pages that are created as a form of vandalism, contain no content, or are plagiarized, use QuickVFD.

4.1. If the article contains very little or very poor content, consider using {{NRV|~~~~~}} to indicate that the article has No Redeeming Value; unless it is improved, the article will be automatically deleted after 1 week.

4.1.1. NRV tags may be removed from an article if the article has been substantially modified or rewritten.

4.1.2. NRV tags may be replaced with a vfd tag if you feel that the article has value as is or with minor modification (do not forget to list the article here).

4.1.3. NRV tags may also be replaced with {{WIP|~~~~~}} or {{construction}} tags by the author (since these serve a similar purpose) as long as the page is being worked on (within ~48 hours).

4.1.4. The individual who originally placed a NRV tag may remove it at any time.

4.1.5. Removal of NRV tags for any other reason is considered a bannable offense.

5. For archived discussions, see the Archived VFD Discussions.

7. Templates up for deletion voting are here: Pages_for_deletion/templates

8. If you edit VFD disruptively or unnecessarily, you will be banned without warning.

9. Each section header on this page normally contains a link to the item being voted upon; please use [[:Image: and [[:Category: ...]] instead of simply [[Image: or [[Category: ...]] when linking to non-text.

10. SysOps, check the page history before deleting if you see something like it suspiciously changed titles. Archive old entries when they start to clutter up the page. Also, create a new archive page when the one in use gets ridiculously big. And also, get me a Mountain Dew.

10.1. Never remove a serious VFD entry from the VFD, even if it fails. Failed VFD entries get archived along with the successful ones. A record of failed VFDs is important for future reference.

11. New candidates goes on top

12. Don't put underscores in your links. Underscores make them look funny. Use spaces, it'll still link to the same article.

13. Please give all nominated articles a section of their own: this makes voting easier to do and easier to interpret.

13.1. If you feel the articles don't deserve their own sections, they're probably not worth voting on; please use QVFD or {{NRV|~~~~~}} instead.

13.2. If you're grouping them because you're too lazy to give them individual sections, then you're being a dick and making more work for me; you will be banned!
