'''Articles for deletion''' ('''AfD''') is where [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] discuss whether an article should be deleted. Articles listed are normally discussed for at least seven days, after which the [[Wikipedia:Deletion process|deletion process]] proceeds based on community [[Wikipedia:Consensus|consensus]]. Common outcomes are that the article is [[Wikipedia:ATD|kept]], [[Wikipedia:ATD-M|merged]], [[Wikipedia:ATD-R|redirected]], [[Wikipedia:ATD-I|incubated]], [[Wikipedia:Moving a page|renamed/moved]] to another title, [[Wikipedia:Userfication|userfied]] to a user subpage, or deleted per the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|deletion policy]]. [[Wikipedia:Disambiguation|Disambiguation pages]] are also nominated for deletion at AfD.

This page explains what you should consider [[#Before nominating: checks and alternatives|before nominating]], the steps for nominating, and how to discuss an AfD. It also links to the lists of current debates, and two companion processes to AfD: [[Wikipedia:Speedy deletion|speedy deletion]] has a clearly defined set of criteria such as [[Wikipedia:Vandalism|vandalism]] and [[Wikipedia:Patent nonsense|patent nonsense]], whereas [[Wikipedia:Proposed deletion|proposed deletion]] is used to suggest deletions that no editor would contest.

'''If you want to nominate an article''', the [[Wikipedia:Deletion policy|Wikipedia deletion policy]] explains the criteria for deletion, and may help you understand when an article should be nominated for deletion. The [[Wikipedia:Guide to deletion|guide to deletion]] explains the deletion process. If an article meets the criteria for deletion and you understand the process, consult [[#How to nominate a single page for deletion|the instructions below]]. If you are '''unsure''' whether a page should be nominated for deletion, or if you need more help, try [[Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion|this talk page]] or [[Wikipedia:Help desk|Wikipedia's help desk]].
