[edit] How to deal with pages on this list
The articles listed here should be either expanded, deleted, or turned into a redirect to another article. Unless you are going to write a complete article from scratch, you will also need to make sure the article is properly tagged for attention from other editors. See Wikipedia:Deletion policy for a chart that shows what kind of text falls into what category, and what tag to add. See WP:VFD for more complete instructions on how to nominate a page for deletion. You may also want to check if the page meets the Wikipedia:Criteria for speedy deletion.
- Links displayed in red are for articles that have already been deleted. Please remove any you happen to see from this list.
- Short lists should be expanded, of course. All incomplete lists should be tagged as such. See Wikipedia:Incomplete lists for tags and advice.
[edit] Stubs
Stubs are listed separately, for your convenience. If you find an article tagged with {{stub}}, please change it to the appropriate topic-specific one from Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Stub types. Because the stubs listed here are so short, they are in the most need of attention. Help expand them! For advice, see Wikipedia:Guide to improving articles. You may also wish to see Wikipedia:Stub or Wikipedia:Article size for advice.
[edit] When fixed
After you've given an article some attention (hopefully making it long enough not to get re-listed here on the next run), please remove its listing from this page. This will help prevent duplication of effort.
