==Articles for Deletion (AfD) Discussion Etiquette== *Users participating in AfD discussions are expected to be familiar with the policies of [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Civility| civility]] and [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Etiquette| wikiquette]]. **This also applies to the other deletion pages. *AfDs are public, and are sometimes quoted in the popular press. Please keep to public-facing levels of civility, just as you should for any edit you make to Wikipedia. *Don't make [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:No_personal_attacks| personal attacks]] against people who disagree with you. *Do not make unsourced/unreferenced negative comments about living people, or those not so alive. These may be [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons#Remove_unsourced_or_poorly_sourced_controversial_material| removed by any editor]]. *Remember that while AfD may look like a voting process, [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Polling_is_not_a_substitute_for_discussion| it does not operate like one]]. Justification and evidence for a response carries far more weight than the response itself. Thus, you should not attempt to structure the AfD process like a vote: **Don't add tally boxes to the deletion page. **Don't reorder comments on the deletion page to group them by keep/delete/other. Such reordering can disrupt the flow of discussion, polarize an issue, and emphasize vote count or word count. **Do not message editors about AfD nominations because they support your view on the topic. This can be seen as votestacking. See [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia:Canvassing| Wikipedia:Canvassing]] for guidelines. '''Please attempt to stay civil and not wage personal attacks. Comments are also acceptable.''' [[Category:Mbox and messagebox templates]] </noinclude>
