Marked for Deletion


 * The Marked for Deletion category is  not  to be added just because you don't like the pasta.


 * It must have at least enough errors that you can't edit it.


 * If you can fix it, fix it. If you can't, add the category and it will be reviewed by an administrator or RCaDC member.


 * If you are unsure about the quality, whether it is good or bad, add this category and an admin/RCaDC member will check it. Admins can add the category, if they are uncertain if it's worthy or not.


 * You may not remove Marked for Deletion from your own pasta. Doing so will result in a one-day ban.


 * If it is a trollpasta, or seems to be one but you are unsure, feel free to mark the article for review.
