This is a collection of discussions on the deletion and merging of articles related to '''{{{1|a subject on Wikipedia}}}'''.  It is one of many [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Flat|deletion lists]] coordinated by [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting|WikiProject Deletion sorting]].  Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.   

; Adding a new AfD discussion
: Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to  the main page at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|WP:AFD]].  Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|WP:AFD]].  If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page.  To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
:# <span class="plainlinks">[{{fullurl:{{FULLPAGENAME}}|action=edit&section=1}} Edit this page]</span> and add '''<nowiki>{{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}}</nowiki>''' to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the '''edit summary''' as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
:# You should also tag the AfD by adding '''<nowiki>{{subst:delsort|</nowiki>{{SUBPAGENAME}}<nowiki>|~~~~}}</nowiki>''' to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
: There are a few [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting#Scripts and tools|scripts and tools]] that can make this easier.
; Removing a closed AfD discussion
: Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by [[User:AnomieBOT|a bot]].
; Other types of discussions
: You can also add and remove other discussions ([[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|prod]], [[Wikipedia:Categories for discussion|CfD]], [[Wikipedia:Templates for discussion|TfD]] etc.) related to {{{1|}}}. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except '''<nowiki>{{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}}</nowiki>''' is used for MFD and {{tl|transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{tl|prodded}} will suffice. 
; Further information
: For further information see Wikipedia's [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion|WP:AfD]] for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
