'''Miscellany for deletion''' covers local project, help, user and other pages that do not fit the article, file, template, category or redirect discussion processes.
#REDIRECT [[Project:Deletion policy]]▼
== Open a discussion ==
Check the page history, purpose and incoming links. Explain the proposed removal on the affected page's talk page and identify alternatives such as correction, archiving, merging or a useful redirect. Use {{tl|Mfd}} to identify the discussion. Its optional <code>discussion</code> parameter may link a particular local discussion page or section. Notify affected editors and, for a user-space page, its owner where appropriate.
== Review the purpose ==
A quiet project page or an old discussion can be a useful historical record. Do not delete records merely because a process is no longer active. Distinguish abandoned tests or spam from useful documentation. Consider privacy and copyright issues without republishing sensitive material in a public discussion.
== Record the outcome ==
Summarise the decision and its reasons on the talk page. Seek an uninvolved administrator for disputed or destructive action. Deletion requires the actual local permission and a specific log reason. Preserve contributor attribution when material is merged, and retain relevant discussion records. No imported daily log, voting threshold or automatic expiry applies.
