== Flagging a page for deletion== In wandering wikipedia and its sitter sites I have found several pages that are completely nonsensical. I believe that I saw a way to flag a page so that an admin could check it and delete it if it was truly irrelevant, but I can not find it again. Could someone tell me the flag (I think it was something like { { delete } } ) so when I find them in the future I can help a bit with house cleaning. :If the page is true garbage, you should tag it with <nowiki>{{delete}}</nowiki>. [[Wikipedia:Candidates for speedy deletion]] has descriptions of when this is appropriate. If it's not outright garbage but you think it should be deleted for some other reason, then the article needs to be listed on [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion]]. -- [[User:Cyrius|Cyrius]]|[[User talk:Cyrius|✎]] 17:43, 1 Aug 2004 (UTC) :[[Wikipedia:Deletion policy]] has a table explaining what to do with problem articles.
