Adding a request: To add a request for deletion, place the template or  to the questioned entry, and then make a new nomination here. The section title should be exactly the wikified entry title such as. The deletion of just part of a page may also be proposed here. If an entire section is being proposed for deletion, the tag should be placed at the top; if only a sense is, the tag  should be used, or the more precise  if it applies. In any of these cases, any editor, including non-admins, may act on the discussion.

Closing a request: A request can be closed once a month has passed after the nomination was posted, except for. If a decision to delete or keep has not been reached due to insufficient discussion, can be added and knowledgeable editors pinged. If there is sufficient discussion, but a decision cannot be reached because there is no consensus, the request can be closed as “no consensus”, in which case the status quo is maintained. The threshold for consensus is hinted at the ratio of 2/3 of supports to supports and opposes, but is not set in stone and other considerations than pure tallying can play a role; see the vote. (Note: In some cases, like moves or redirections, the disposition is more complicated than simply “RFD-deleted” or “RFD-kept”.)
 * Deleting or removing the entry or sense (if it was deleted), or de-tagging it (if it was kept). In either case, the edit summary or deletion summary should indicate what is happening.
 * Adding a comment to the discussion here with either RFD-deleted or RFD-kept, indicating what action was taken.
 * Striking out the discussion header.

Archiving a request: At least a week after a request has been closed, if no one has objected to its disposition, the request should be archived to the entry's talk page. This is usually done using the aWa gadget, which can be enabled at WT:PREFS.
