Line 65: ===Deleting a draft=== Drafts are meant to be works in progress, and most will not meet Wikipedia's standards for quality at first. Drafts are meant to be works in progress, and most will not meet Wikipedia's standards for quality at first. The [[WP:CSD#General\|general]] [[WP:CSD\|speedy deletion criteria]] may be applied to drafts, though a special deletion policy for drafts has not been decided. Though drafts are not subject to [[WP:ACSD\|article deletion]] criteria like "no context" or no indication of notability, drafts that are copyright violations, vandalism, BLP violations or blatant advertising or promotion will be speedily deleted. As with regular articles, content that violates our [[Wikipedia:Biographies of living persons\|policy regarding material about living people]] must be removed or deleted. Drafts may be nominated for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]]. Alternatively, drafts that were created through the [[WP:AFC\|Articles for Creation]] process may be nominated for [[WP:G13\|speedy deletion criteria G13]], according to the policy. === Speedy deletion === The [[WP:CSD#General\|general]] [[WP:CSD\|speedy deletion criteria]] may be applied to drafts.

No special deletion policy for drafts has been decided. === Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion === Drafts are not subject to [[WP:ACSD\|article deletion]] criteria like "no context" or no indication of notability. Drafts may be nominated for deletion at [[Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion]], but not on a primary concern of notability (see [[Wikipedia_talk:Notability/Archive_58#RfC:_Does_WP:N_apply_to_drafts_in_userspace_or_draftspace.3F]]). === Routine deletion of old AfC drafts === Drafts that were created through the [[WP:AFC\|Articles for Creation]] process and include the {{tl\|AFC submission}} template may be nominated for [[WP:G13\|speedy deletion criteria G13]]. Most G13 deletions are managed and performed by [[Wikipedia:Bots\|Bots]], bots that also warn and inform the draft creator. G13 deletions will be undeleted on request at [[WP:REFUND]]. --[[User:SmokeyJoe\|SmokeyJoe]] ([[User talk:SmokeyJoe\|talk]]) 01:29, 19 September 2016 (UTC) == Footnotes ==
