Entirely abusive articles (that are NOT edited versions of good articles) should be tagged with '''{{templte|spam}}''' by editors, so that [[staff]] can easily find them and delete them. Tagging articles in that way assigns the article to [[:Category:Speedy Delete]] so that they may easily be found. | ||

If an article is off-topic (eg [[Robbie Williams]]), too specific (eg [[Bus Stops in Vice City]]) or simply advertising a product/service/company (eg [[ShamWow!]]), then it should be tagged with '''{{template|delete}}''' which is '''proposed deletion'''. The deletion of these pages should be discussed before action is taken, unless Staff find it to violate specific [[policy]] (at which point it can just be deleted). Pages with the delete template show up in [[:Category:Delete]]. | ||
