CZ:Proposed for deletion
When an article is proposed for deletion by placing {{PropDel}} at the top of its page, it is automatically added to the current month's sub-category under Category:Articles for deletion. It will remain there until at least the 16th of the month after next (for example, an article nominated in January will not be deleted until 16 March at the earliest; in February until 16 April; and so on).
If immediate deletion is necessary – for example, the article is a hoax or a duplicate – that can be done by a sysop.
With normal proposals, the article remains in the nomination process for six to ten weeks, allowing time for anyone who opposes its deletion to commence a discussion on the article's talk page. When a discussion begins, the nominator may withdraw the proposal by removing the template. If the nominator still thinks the article should be deleted, the matter will be decided following discussion by a consensus if possible. If there is no consensus, the article will be given the benefit of the doubt and retained. It may always be possible to adjust associated topics to work around the proposal.
