Votes for Deletion (VfD) is where Biocrawlerns decide what should be done with an article. Items sent here usually wait five days or so; afterward the following actions can be taken on an article as a result of community consensus:
- Kept
- Deleted per the deletion policy
- Sent to Cleanup or BJAODN
- Merged and/or redirected to an existing article
- Transwikied (moved to another Wikimedia project, such as Wikibooks, Wikisource, Wikiquote, Wiktionary, or another language's Biocrawler)
More information can be found at the Guide to Votes for deletion.

Things to consider
It is important to read and understand the Biocrawler deletion policy which states which problems form valid grounds for deletion before adding comments to this page. Use the "what links here" link which appears in the sidebar of the actual article page, to get a sense how the page is being used and referenced within Biocrawler. VfD etiquette:
- Please be familiar with the policies of not biting the newcomers, Wikiquette, no personal attacks, and civility before adding a comment.
- Sign any listing or vote you add, by adding this after your comment: ~~~~.
If you are the primary author or otherwise have a vested interest in the article, say so openly, clearly base your vote on the deletion policy, and vote only once, like everyone else.
- Your opinion will be given the most weight if you are logged in with an account that already existed when the nomination was made. Anonymous and new users are welcome to contribute to the discussion, but their votes may be discounted, especially if they seem to be made in bad faith.
- Please vote only once. If there is evidence that someone is using sock puppets (multiple accounts belonging to the same person) to vote more than once, those votes will not be counted.
You don't have to vote on every nomination; even consider not participating if:
- A nomination involves a topic of which you are ignorant;
- Consensus you agree with has already been formed.
Week at a view
See Biocrawler:Votes for deletion (long form) or WP:VFDL for the old week-to-a-view version of VFD. (Warning: this page is very large and slow to load!)
You may also wish to see Biocrawler:Votes for deletion/Log/Today or WP:VFD/Today and Biocrawler:Votes for deletion/Log/Yesterday or WP:VFD/Yesterday.
Additionally, AllyUnion runs a bot to maintain an hourly updated VFD List (related changes (http://www.biocrawler.com/w/index.php?title=Special:Recentchangeslinked&target=User:AllyUnion/VFD_List)). This list of discussions keeps a list of 7 days of discussions. The bot also puts what's been recently added as a comment per hour.

How to list pages for deletion
First, be certain that deleting the page is what you want to recommend. If you can improve the article instead, do so. Consider if it might be better to redirect the article, rename it, or mark it for cleanup; you can do those boldly without listing the page here.
Also, only article pages should be listed here. Go to the appropriate pages to nominate templates, categories, redirects, or images and other media, or to report a copyright violation.
To list an article/page for deletion, follow this three-step process: (replace PageName with the name of the page to be deleted)
| I. | Edit PageName.
Enter the following text at the top of the page:
Be sure to include "subst:", not just {{vfd}}; this is easier on the servers. Please include "Vfd" or similar in the edit summary, and don't mark it as minor. |
| II. | Create its VfD subpage.
You should see a prominent link to "this article's entry" in the new VfD text.
Include a reason after text= . Suggest what action should be taken for the article. |
| III. | Add a line to VfD.
Follow this edit link (http://www.biocrawler.com/w/index.php?title=Biocrawler:Votes_for_deletion/Log/2008_August_30&action=edit) and add a line to the bottom of the page:
|
Also consider adding to your watchlist any articles you nominate for VfD. This will help ensure that your VfD tag is not removed by a vandal.ar:ويكيبيديا:تصويت للحذف bg:Уикипедия:Страници за изтриване cs:Wikipedie:Hlasování o smazání da:Biocrawler:Sider der bør sletteses:Biocrawler:Páginas para borrar eo:Vikipedio:Forigendaj artikoloj fr:Wikipédia:Pages à supprimer fy:Wikipedy:Siden wiskje he:ויקיפדיה:רשימת מועמדים למחיקה hu:Wikipédia:Szavazás törlésről it:Biocrawler:Pagine da cancellare ja:Biocrawler:削除依頼 ko:위키백과:삭제요청 lb:Biocrawler:Läschen na:Biocrawler:Animwen iyababa nl:Biocrawler:Te verwijderen pagina's no:Biocrawler:Sletting pl:Biocrawler:Strony do usunięcia pt:Biocrawler:Páginas para eliminar ro:Biocrawler:Pagini de şters simple:Biocrawler:Requests for deletion sk:Wikipédia:Stránky na zmazanie sl:Wikipedija:Predlogi za brisanje fi:Biocrawler:Poistettavat sivut sv:Biocrawler:Sidor som bör raderas vi:Biocrawler:Biểu quyết xoá bài zh:Biocrawler:删除投票和请求
