Users can use the request templates <code>DeletionRequest</code> ([[Template:DeletionRequest|deletion request template page]]) and <code>MergeRequest</code>[[Template:MergeRequest| merge request template page]]) to indicate pages that may need deletion. DeletionRequest notices should not be applied to articles which could be reasonably served by other notices, as they appear quite aggressive, and could serve to 'bite' newbies. Their primary use is for spam, and for non-moderators to alert moderators of pages which may need deletion. For pages which don't belong on the wiki due to their topic (but it appears that the author of the | Users can use the request templates <code>DeletionRequest</code> ([[Template:DeletionRequest|deletion request template page]]) and <code>MergeRequest</code>[[Template:MergeRequest| merge request template page]]) to indicate pages that may need deletion. DeletionRequest notices should not be applied to articles which could be reasonably served by other notices, as they appear quite aggressive, and could serve to 'bite' newbies. Their primary use is for spam, and for non-moderators to alert moderators of pages which may need deletion. For pages which don't belong on the wiki due to their topic (but it appears that the author of the article has created the article in good faith), the Irrelevant notice should be used instead. For severely underdeveloped pages, use stub notices, and so on. A page which has been an extremely short stub for a long time with no sign of maintenance can be served with a deletion notice if it appears abandoned. Look through the [[:Category:Articles with merge requests|Articles with merge requests]] and [[:Category:Articles with deletion requests|Articles with deletion requests]] categories (both in the[[:Category:Todo| todo]] category) in order to look though these requests. | ||

If a talk page is present before deletion, it is best practice to keep the talk page as its contents usually explain to readers why the page was deleted. | ||
In cases of merge requests, things might not be as simple. After deciding on the page which is to be kept, and moving all relevent content to that page, the page [[Special:MergeHistory]] should be used in order to maintain the edit history and contributors. This might become complicated if three or more pages are to be merged, so they should be merged sequentially to avoid conflicts. After merging, and ensuring the retention of all edit history, any redundant pages should be deleted. | In cases of merge requests, things might not be as simple.
