Template:VFDRules

Rules and procedures:

1. If you're too lazy to read the deletion policy, please, at least, carefully read this list of rules.
   1. But seriously, read the deletion policy.
   2. Do not put anything up for VFD that is not appropriate for VFD.
   3. Abusers of the policy will be abused by the claw end of a hammer. You have been warned.
2. If you have an article that meets the criteria for VFD:
   1. Check the revision history of the page. It may have been vandalised, or just badly edited over a long period of time. If so, find a better version and revert the article. It may not be suitable for deletion.
   2. Add {{vfd}} to the article in question. Failure to do so will invalidate the vote.
   3. Provide an initial vote (see below) and include a comment as to why you have placed the article on VFD.
3. If you are here to vote on the deletion/salvation of articles:
   1. Thank you.
   2. No really, thank you.
   3. Edit the section for the article you are addressing.
   4. Pick a space under the appropriate heading (Keep, Delete, Comment), add your sig/comment preceded with a #
      1. # - Creates a numbered bullet for your entry and makes sure that things are formatted correctly (do not put a space before the #).
      2. Comment - If you care to, leave a comment, even if it is as short as "The article is not at all funny". Votes without comments are less useful in analyzing the quality of an article.
      3. --~~~~ - Sign and timestamp your vote. Unsigned votes will be removed without prejudice.
4. Do not revert edits of the administrators.
5. If an article survives VFD, do not resubmit it for at least 1 month or you will get a bollocking.
6. If you are neither an Administrator nor a designated Poopsmith, do not remove anything from VFD; doing so will get you banned for a very long time.
