Only a registered, logged-in user can complete steps II and III. (Autoconfirmed registered users can also use the Twinkle tool to make nominations.) If you are unregistered, you should complete step I, note the justification for deletion on the article’s talk page, then post a message at Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion requesting that someone else complete the process.
To nominate multiple related pages for deletion, follow the multi-page deletion nomination procedure.
To nominate a single page for deletion, you can use Twinkle, or follow these three steps:
I – Put the deletion tag on the article.
Insert {{subst:afd1}} at the top of the article. Do not mark the edit as minor.
If this article has been nominated before, use {{subst:afdx|2nd}} or {{subst:afdx|3rd}} etc.
Include in the edit summary AfD: Nominated for deletion; see [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]. replacing NominationName with the name of the page being nominated. Publish the page.
The NominationName is normally the article name (PageName), but if it has been nominated before, use "PageName (2nd nomination)" or "PageName (3rd nomination)" etc.)
II – Create the article’s deletion discussion page.
The resulting AfD box at the top of the article should contain a link to “Preloaded debate” in the AfD page. Click that link to open the article’s deletion discussion page for editing. Some text and instructions will appear.
You can do it manually as well:
Click the link saying "deletion discussion page" to open the deletion-debate page.
Insert this text:
{{subst:afd2 | pg=PageName | cat=Category | text=Why the page should be deleted}} ~~~~
Replace PageName with the name of the page, Category with a letter from the list M, O, B, S, W, G, T, F, and P to categorize the debate, and Why the page should be deleted with the reasons the page should be deleted.
If appropriate, inform members of the most relevant WikiProjects through one or more "deletion sorting lists". Then add a {{subst:delsort|<topic>|<signature>}} template to the nomination, to insert a note that this has been done.
Use an edit summary such as Creating deletion discussion for [[PageName]]. Publish the page.
III – Notify users who monitor AfD discussions.
Open the articles for deletion log page for editing.
At the top of the list on the log page (there's a comment indicating the spot), insert:{{subst:afd3 | pg=NominationName}}
Replace NominationName appropriately (use "PageName", "PageName (2nd nomination)", etc.)
Link to the discussion page in your edit summary: Adding [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/NominationName]]. Publish the page.
Consider letting the authors know on their talk page by adding: {{subst:Afd notice|Page name}} ~~~~
If this is not the first nomination, add a second parameter with the NominationName (use "PageName (2nd nomination)" etc.): {{subst:Afd notice|PageName|NominationName}} ~~~~
someone with the time and wikipedia account do this. this shit article will get deleted if you point out that literally 75% of the ‘sources’ actually linked on the article are false or have literally no information (I’m looking at you NYT article about Zheng Xiaoyu) LOL.
Most of the sources seem only to ‘verify’ that china executes people. Which is probably how this article has been up for so long if I had to guess, since the average person looks at the handful of sources and goes ‘ah, this is true then’ without realizing that the only actual linked sources are for things like “China executes 2,400 people a year” lol. (Source #2: https://www.scmp.com/infographics/article/1631703/infographic-capital-punishment)
Whole article seems to stem from this 2012 Washington Post article with the image caption being ‘Chinese police lead a condemned man into a special execution van to be put to death. (AFP/Getty Images)’
Now is this an ‘execution’ van? A prisoner transport van? Who can really say. But
Shit wikipedia article and I bet it would be a headache to actually get deleted but it does seem like there has been one user (Causa sui) who has consistently kept an eye on the page and removed edits that have been egregiously unsourced, so I bet they would probably be in support of nuking the page.
